Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mother Qiao’s face was filled with sorrow. “l should have realized that something was wrong with her recently. She has been mischievous and unruly since she was young. It’s all my fault for being careless and not discovering it earlier…
Qiao Qiao, who was still unconscious, couldn’t hear anything from the outside world. She fell into a long, deep dream.
Shao Jingmo was in this dream. However, it was the fourteen-year-old Shao Jingmo.
When Shao Jingmo first arrived at the Qiao residence that year, he was unfamiliar with the new environment and was not used to it. He had the thought of leaving. But he knew that he no longer had parents. None of the relatives wanted to adopt him. He could only be kicked around by them like a rubber ball.
That night he sat at the door of his house. He had not eaten all day and was so hungry that he could barely raise his spirits. Qiao Huasheng appeared in front of him and said that he wanted to adopt him. Then he entered the Qiao family and changed his surname.
The dream suddenly changed. Shao Jingmo went to middle school. His results were good and he was liked by the teachers, but he was often bullied by his classmates.
Once, when a classmate asked Shao Jingmo for protection money, Qiao Qiao, who had seen this scene in the car, got out of the car without hesitation and rushed up in front of Shao Jingmo. She was young and looked small in front of Shao Jingmo. It was obvious that she was easy to bully.
But those people did not dare to bully her, because she had two burly bodyguards accompanying her.
The students who were asking for protection money did not give up, but because they were afraid of the two bodyguards beside Qiao Qiao, they only dared to warn Shao Jingmo, “You’d better hide behind this little guy every day.”
Qiao Qiao pointed at the person who had spoken and said fiercely, “Even if I’m not here, you’re not allowed to bully him. Only I can bully him. He’s our servant! ”
Those people suddenly laughed out loud. Someone said mockingly, “So you’re a servant!”
“No wonder he doesn’t have any money. He’s a guard dog.”
“Hahaha, so what if his grades are good? He’s still a guard dog.”
After those people spoke one after another, they laughed and turned to leave.
Qiao Qiao turned to look at Shao Jingmo behind her. Seeing his cold face, she said, “You can only be bullied by me, do you hear me?”
Shao Jingmo ignored her and turned to leave. Qiao Qiao said, “Take the car back.”
Shao Jingmo said, “You can go back first.”
Qiao Qiao asked curiously, “Are you angry because I said you were our servant?”
Shao Jingmo had already walked a distance away.
Qiao Qiao did not give up. She aimed at Shao Jingmo’s height and ran over. She exerted strength on her toes and used his shoulders to pull her onto his back like a monkey. “Carry me, carry me.” She lay solidly on his back, very excited.
Shao Jingmo did not move. He stood on the spot and calmly said, “Come down.”
Qiao Qiao wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. “l won’t.”
His calm tone repeated, “Get down.”
“No, no, no.” Qiao Qiao grabbed him tightly and even moved closer to his neck. “You’re too easy to bully. You don’t talk back or fight back You only know how to stand there stupidly and be bullied. Do you know that anyone can bully you like this?”
He seemed to relent. He didn’t force her down again. Because he knew she wouldn’t listen and come down. But he didn’t reach out to support her. He let her scrabble against his back like this. As he walked slowly, he whispered, ‘1 1 can’t get your grandfather into trouble.”
Qiao Qiao’s arms ached and she couldn’t hold on anymore. “Carry me for a while. I’m going to fall.”
Shao Jingmo did not seem to hear her. His hands stayed at his side. Qiao
Qiao’s body continued to slide down. With a bitter expression, she said, “What are you afraid of? I’ll protect you. If you’re bullied, fight back. If you can’t win, bite the other party until they’re convinced. If I’m not around, come back and tell me. I’ll hit them back for you.”
Shao Jingmo still did not speak. Qiao Qiao was about to fall. Just as she accepted her fate and was about to let go, Shao Jingmo suddenly raised his hand and supported her. She returned to his back.
Qiao Qiao was overjoyed. “That’s right.”
Shao Jingmo carried her on his back and walked slowly step by step. Two bodyguards followed behind, and no one dared to approach. He walked a long way before saying, “l won’t carry you next time.”
Qiao Qiao didn’t take his words seriously. What he said about next time had always only worked on others. Only towards her that his bottom line was countless next-times.
The dream ended when Shao Jingmo carried her home.
When Qiao Qiao woke up, it was already past ten the next morning. Before she opened her eyes, she heard Father and Mother Qiao’s voices. They were very faint, so she couldn’t hear them very clearly.
“Guigui’s awake,” Mother Qiao was the first to notice.
Father Qiao quickly surrounded her. “Guigui?”
Qiao Qiao opened her eyes and saw Father and Mother Qiao surrounding the bed. She closed her eyes as if she was escaping, unwilling to face them.
“Guigui.” Mother Qiao tidied Qiao Qiao’s hair and asked gently, “Are you hungry? Mom cooked something delicious for you.” Father Qiao asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”
“Guigui…”
No matter how much Father and Mother Qiao said, Qiao Qiao remained silent and didn’t give any response. She looked like she had fallen asleep again. After that, at the doctor’s suggestion, Father and Mother Qiao went out of the ward.
When there was no one else in the patient’s room, Qiao Qiao finally opened her eyes. She slowly raised her hand and saw the IV needle on the back of it. She blinked to clear her vision and murmured huskily, “I’m alive.”
Then, she said, “Why… am I still alive?”
She was alone for the entire morning until Mother Qiao brought in lunch at noon and saw Qiao Qiao sitting on the bed in a daze.
“You haven’t eaten for a day and a night. Your body needs nutrition.” Mother Qiao walked in with the thermos box. “I’ve made your favorite dishes. Although they’re all light, you’ll definitely like them.” “Mom,” Qiao Qiao suddenly called.
“Huh? I’m here.” Mother Qiao was slightly excited.
Qiao Qiao turned around and said to Mother Qiao, “1 want to leave this place.”
Mother Qiao immediately put down the thermos and walked over. Without hesitation, she said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. We’ll live somewhere else.”
Qiao Qiao shook her head. “Not us. Me.”
Mother Qiao was stunned, but she quickly came back to her senses. “Silly child, don’t say that you want to live far away alone again. That won’t do.”
“Why not?” Qiao Qiao’s lips were bloodless. “l just want to go somewhere without you.”
When Mother Qiao heard this, she looked angry. “Guigui, you…”
However, before she could say anything angrily, she was interrupted by Qiao Qiao’s extremely calm voice. “You want him to die… You’ve decided to kill him from the beginning. You’re too selfish, too selfish…”
“Qiao Qiao!” Mother Qiao said angrily. “This was his choice. We didn’t force him.” After being angry, Mother Qiao quickly regained her composure.
“Alright. let’s not talk about him.”
“You can just say these dignified words for you to hear.” Qiao Qiao looked up and said calmly, “1 won’t hate you because you’re my parents, but I’ll never accept what you’ve done for me. Never..”
