The man’s voice was very gentle.
Although his eyes were blue like a foreigner’s, his appearance was more like a gentleman from the ancient Country Hua. He was about thirty years old, and his hair was slightly curly and a little long.
When he saw Xing Jiuan enter, he was stunned for a moment before he asked gently, “Young lady, are you lost?”
Xing Jiuan looked at the man in front of her and her eyes unknowingly turned a little red.
It was as if she had returned to the first time they met in her previous life. The man stood in front of her with one arm, but there was no gloominess on his face. He looked at her as he did now and asked the depressed Xing Jiuan gently:
“Little kid, are you lost?”
Xing Jiuan had been arrogant and willful for more than ten years. But the situation had changed back then and she had been in a sorry and embarrassing state.
It was at that moment that she met the man before her.
He was the one who had accompanied Xing Jiuan throughout her most unbearable year.
He spoke gently and comforted her softly, as if he had given all his gentleness to Xing Jiuan.
At that time, Xing Jiuan was completely different from when she was the most outstanding and dazzling. Even she loathed herself at that time.
Occasionally, she would be in a daze as a small knife cut countless small wounds on her arm. She seemed to have gone completely mad.
Many times, when her mind was in a mess, it was the man in front of her who pulled her back to reality.
Xing Jiuan had many, many people she could not let go of. When she was conscious, she would also be frightened and afraid.
She was not afraid of death.
But she was afraid to die without knowing the reason behind her death.
When she was in the deep abyss, she met a man who could coax her gently. He had the warmth a father would have.
Xing Jiuan’s eyes were red, but she did not dare to take a step forward.
The scene of the man dying in front of her seemed to be unforgettable.
He had stood in front of her so determinedly, it was as if her life was that important.
As soon as the man spoke, he realized that for some reason, the little girl who had just entered suddenly had red eyes. It was as if she had suffered a great grievance and did not know how to speak. However, she was still stubborn and did not shed a single tear.
It made his heart ache.
He wanted to go up to her and comfort her so that she would not cry.
The man took two steps forward and stopped again, a little confused by his own reaction.
When did he suddenly become so kind?
However, he still took two steps forward. “Young lady, did you get separated from your family? This place is very remote. Did anyone come to pick you up?”
Xing Jiuan pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.
The man’s gaze was a little pained. She had seen this look many times in her previous life.
Every time Xing Jiuan’s mind was in a mess and she did something to hurt herself, he would always look at her with this gaze. Then…
“Want a candy?” The man stretched out his hand. There was a beautifully packaged fruit candy in it.
Xing Jiuan took the fruit candy seemingly very naturally and then whispered her thanks.
The man smiled. “Are you hungry? I made some noodles. Do you want to eat some?”
Xing Jiuan nodded slightly again.
The man let her sit down and went to scoop some noodles.
Xing Jiuan sat down and placed her hands on her lap. She looked very obedient.
The man smiled and said, “I just arrived here too. I’m not very familiar with this place yet, but the owner of this place will probably be back soon. When he comes back, I’ll ask if he wants to send you back or tidy up a room for you to rest for the night.”
Xing Jiuan looked at the man’s side profile and agreed softly.
