“Let go.”Ding Junhui held the man’s hand with one hand and pulled Yuan Qi to his side with the other.
“Wah… second brother…”Yuan Qi cried out loud when she saw Ding Junhui.
Ding Junhui didn’t let the two men go. Instead, the airport police were called over by him because they suspected that the two men were human traffickers.
After dealing with the two men, Ding Junhui brought Yuan Qi to a ramen restaurant at the airport and ordered some ramen for her.
Yuan Qi was famished. She grabbed her chopsticks and lowered her head to start eating.
Ding Junhui frowned as he watched her eat. He reached out to pour some water for her and placed it beside her hand. “Eat slowly. I’ll give you some more if it’s not enough.”
Yuan Qi ate as tears dripped down her face.
“I didn’t scold you for crying.”Ding Junhui sat opposite her and looked at the girl whose shoulders were trembling from crying.
“Second brother, why didn’t you scold me?”Yuan Qi asked in a muffled voice. If it was her eldest brother, he would probably have beaten her up right now.
Ding Junhui took out a tissue and handed it to her. He watched her wipe her tears and said, “You’ll be sixteen after the New Year. Do you know what sixteen means? Yuan Qi, am I not good to you?”
“Second brother is very good to me,”Yuan Qi said in a low voice.
“Is your Big Brother Not Good to you?”Ding Junhui asked again, “Or did your sister-in-law or Yuexi Bully You?”
“Neither.”Yuan Qi’s voice became softer.
“Do you really want to anger the people around you and drive them away?”Ding Junhui said in a low voice, “We are your family, not your enemies.”
Yuan Qi put down her chopsticks silently. In the past few hours, she had experienced for the first time what it meant to have no family at all. It was a terrible feeling, so terrible that it made people scared.
“My parents are all bad people. You will also think I am a bad person.”Yuan Qi pinched her fingers, her voice so low that people couldn’t see it.
“How are your parents? We are all juniors. Let’s not talk about it. If you are a bad person, will I offend your aunt to get your custody?”Yuan Qi was willing to tell her thoughts, it could be considered as a lesson for running away from home this time.
“But –”
“You have always been a very smart child. Moreover, you are very kind. Everyone is an individual in this world. There is no need to bear any responsibility for anyone.”Ding Junhui reached out and touched Yuan Qi’s head, “You are very good. In second brother’s heart, you are as good a child as Yuan Fei.”
“Second brother…”Yuan Qi cried. She got up and hugged Ding Junhui.
Ding Junhui patted Yuan Qi’s back gently, “But you can’t let the matter of running away from home go by like this. I want to give your aunt an explanation. Do you want to go back to B city or come with me to see your aunt?”
“I, I want to go back to B city,”Yuan Qi said in a low voice. Her aunt was not as easy to talk to as her second brother. Her aunt would strangle her first before talking about other things, “Is my aunt very angry?”
Ding Junhui slightly raised his eyebrows. He did not think this was a problem.
Ding Junhui lowered his head and looked at the time. “Your eldest brother is still five hours away. You still have time to write a confession letter. I can bring it to your aunt.”
“AH –”
“You don’t want to write it?”Ding Junhui looked at his cousin.
“Write it,”yuan qi said in a muffled voice. The price of running away from home was a little high.
How could she forget that her second brother, a university professor, was almost the same as a high school dean. He often had people copy books and write reviews. Finally, it was her turn from her aunt.
