The boy's cheeks were white with a hint of pink, and he looked so pitiful like a crumbling flower after being washed by the rain. When he looked up, his big watery eyes contained a hint of fear and attachment.

He was frightened by the scenes just now. Flowers growing in a greenhouse are inevitably afraid. He wanted to get close to Lin Xiu, but he shook his body in fear.

The person in front of me had a cold expression that I had never seen before. When he approached, he brought a chill that felt both strange and familiar.

It’s Sister Xiu, and it’s not.

The girl in my memory often lies on the sofa, browsing her phone with a smile on her face. Even if she doesn't speak, she exudes a gentle and lively aura, lazy and leisurely.

The person in front of me is completely different, and yet...it is definitely her.

Achen looked up, his watery eyes reflecting the girl's appearance. When he touched those tightly pursed lips, all the defenses and tension in his body suddenly dropped, and memories flooded into his mind, replaced by a thick sense of familiarity.

I wanted to speak, but my mouth was blocked.

"scared?"

A hoarse sigh was heard, and Lin Xiu raised her cold hand and slowly rolled it across the boy's cheek, pinching it gently from time to time.

It was both cool and warm, like a piece of warm jade. Thinking of this, his movements seemed to become heavier.

"Well."

The young man hummed, the corners of his eyes suddenly turned red, and raindrops slid down, as if he was crying because he was bullied. A person made of jade makes people want to bully him.

It has to be said that he has a good appearance. Sheng Chuxuan snorted lightly and looked coldly at the face that looked like Sheng Ruojun, wishing he could get rid of him as soon as possible.

"Does it hurt?" Lin Xiu frowned, raised her eyes and met the soft and moist black eyes, and her heart finally softened: "Bear with it a little longer." She said.

"Hmm." The boy responded obediently, letting the cold hand slide across his cheek.

The girl's fingers were injured, and every time they slid, the delicate touch caused her to tremble.

I'm about to cry!

Lin Xiu sighed inwardly, and his hands moved faster. After a while, he said gently, "Found it."

what?

Achen didn't understand what was going on. The next second, his cheek felt a slight pain. The tape was torn off like a wet tissue, and cold air rushed into his mouth.

The transparent tape is really hard to find after it gets soaked, Lin Xiu thought, threw away the things in her hand and looked at Achen who was silent.

Simple, well-behaved, smart or trusting?

"Does it hurt?" she asked.

"It doesn't hurt." The boy's voice was a little hoarse, probably because he hadn't spoken for a long time.

The trembling voice coupled with the soft and cute appearance makes people feel like a well-behaved puppy, which makes people feel good.

"So nice."

Lin Xiu's cold face showed a bit of warmth, and she praised softly.

If Ah Chen screamed, I didn't know how to tell Sheng Chuxuan, and it might take a lot of time to explain.

Her eyes swept over the extra people, and a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.

The idea is not well thought out, but the means are ruthless.

If there hadn't been this episode with Liu Linzhou today, I guess only one of me and this Young Master Sheng would have gotten out alive. It's hard to describe how stupid or cruel he is, haha!

I didn't want to do anything more. Since the other party has revealed his cards, and I have Achen on my side, the gifts I prepared should appear. I just hope that the person won't be so slow to arrive.

Lin Xiu looked towards the sea, her light-colored pupils were like the vast ocean in the darkness, stirring up waves and seeming to be waiting.

She didn't say anything, but attracted Achen's full attention.

"Sister Xiu." The young man called out softly with a weak accent, bringing him back to his senses.

Lin Xiu then turned her head and looked at his pupils, which were half covered by his hair. They were wet and the tip of his nose was red.

With a slight turn of her wrist, she raised her hand to brush away the hair on the other person's forehead, revealing a pair of round black eyes.

Her pretty face was fully exposed, her expression timid, broken and pitiful.

Unfortunate and fortunate.

"How did we get here?" She asked the question knowing the answer intentionally or unintentionally.

"I found my mother, and then... came here." Achen replied softly, not knowing how to describe what had happened during this period.

"Yeah, I know." Lin Xiu said patiently.

Seeing that she was listening attentively, Achen continued to explain: "Is that my...family?" He was referring to Sheng Chuxuan.

"Puch."

It’s so clean, so clean that it makes people laugh, not out of mockery, but out of pity.

The boy lowered his eyelashes in embarrassment, and his eyelashes fluttered restlessly like a small fan.

He knew, of course, that his 'family' wanted to kill him, but he had no better words.

His life was in the hands of the other party. It was a dream-like transformation. Countless people told him that he was not an unwanted child or a peasant from the mountains. The port area impacted his life.

In this strange world, I stumbled around, not knowing what to do, and I am still at a loss.

This confusion dissipated into a harbor when Lin Xiu appeared.

Facing her, he didn't know how to explain it and could only express it in the shortest possible words.

"I see."

Lin Xiu's thin hand stroked his soft and moist short hair, and she said softly, "I know," ending this known conversation.

He is still the simple boy in my memory, unchanged, and there is no need to test him.

Or maybe, more likely, she was tired and didn't want to continue trying.

Her eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes: "Get an umbrella." She ordered behind her.

A black umbrella was handed over, leaving only Han Chong. He became a drowned chicken, and not only him, but everyone else as well.

The boss doesn’t hold an umbrella, so how could they dare to do so?

The automatic umbrella spreads out, blocking the rain from above, and also seems to cover this small world, forming a hidden corner.

Although the rain is heavy, the wind is not strong.

Achen looked up and wanted to reach out and grab the corner of the girl's clothes, but found that he couldn't do it.

My hands and feet have been tied for several hours.

Lin Xiu then noticed it and reached out to untie the rope. Sheng Chuxuan didn't say anything when he saw this. In his opinion, Achen was a useless waste. Today's outcome was doomed and no one could change it.

My dear brother, your final destination is to be buried in the sea.

"Does it hurt?" As the rope fell, Lin Xiu looked at the red mark on her fair wrist and asked. The red mark was inexplicably glaring.

"It doesn't hurt. I used to train a lot when I was wearing silk slings, so it's okay."

Ah Chen shook her head, her voice soft. Seeing Lin Xiu didn't say anything, she gently hooked her clothes and said seriously, "It really doesn't hurt."

He was already used to this, and he didn't want to make her worry too much.

Moreover, under the current circumstances, he was afraid that he could not cause any more trouble, nor could he...

Thinking of this, Achen lowered his head and stared at the cliff below: "Sister Xiu, can you accompany me?"

"Hmm?" Wasn't she accompanying him?

"Sister Xiu, I'm sorry... I hope you can just stay with me."

The young man looked up, his eyes like autumn water, and spoke incoherently, apologizing and begging. It was unclear to whom he was apologizing, and the begging sounded like his final farewell.

Achen is not stupid and can see that Lin Xiu and Sheng Chuxuan have a deal.

In such a situation, it would be absolutely wrong for Lin Xiu to protect him. The best way is... to give up.

Su Xinyu helped him find his mother for the sake of personal gain, and also harmed Lin Xiu; now, he didn't want to and couldn't cause her any more trouble, so... just stay with him, even for a second.

The last moment of life... "I want to be with you..."

The boy's voice was tender, like a whisper in the ear, touching the heartstrings.
