"fine."

It took Gu Yan a long time to come back to his senses, his head was swollen.

He finally figured out why there was no news about Linlin since then. She should have disappeared from this world forever.

Those beasts!

His clenched fists could not help but tremble slightly, he was angry and blamed himself, and his mind was in chaos, like a storm passing by.

"And one more thing."

"Cen Mo may be back."

"Cen Mo? What is he doing back?"

Gu Yan was a little furious when he heard this name.

This news is undoubtedly a bombshell for Gu Yan, who is very sensitive when hearing this name.

"Didn't he go away to the treasure island? Why did he come back? Didn't he hurt my brother enough?!"

Gu Yan's words were so fierce that even Chen Lai on the side cast a concerned look.

"Don't be excited, maybe he didn't come back for your brother."

Ling Ziyue's comfort was a little pale.

"He is just a villain who doesn't keep his word!! Bastard!"

At the mention of this name, Gu Yan couldn't help but his blood pressure soared.

"Anyway, pay more attention to your elder brother's movements during this period. If you find Cen Mo, contact me in time."

"This scourge must be caught!"

It's true that misfortunes never come singly.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yan was so angry that he seemed to be able to explode on the spot.

He couldn't contact his brother who was out collecting news, but counting the days, his brother Gu Yian should be back soon.

Eight years have passed, isn't that Cen Mo still giving up?

He didn't dare to think too much, he just hoped that this person who was not on the same road as his brother could disappear forever from his brother's life and become two parallel lines without any intersection.

This is the best destination for both of them.

My father is old and has finally accepted his eldest son's decision not to marry for the rest of his life. Now he will never be able to accept a new blow.

But he was still very afraid, whether Cen Mo's return this time would turn their finally settled home upside down again.

"What's wrong? Do you have a fever? Are you sweating so much?"

Chen Lai touched Gu Yan's cold forehead with some worry.

"You won't leave me, right, Chen Lai?"

There was fear and horror in Gu Yan's eyes, and all the emotions were intertwined.

He hugged Chen Lai tightly into his arms with some illusions, as if he wanted to embed the other person deeply into his body so that they could never be separated.

"What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Chen Lai was puzzled and stroked his broad back softly to comfort him.

"Promise me you will never leave me, okay?"

Gu Yan was a little stunned. He refused to give up, like a little boy who had just experienced 120,000 times of fear.

Chen Lai was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I won't leave you, and I will never leave you."

Such a promise is far more effective than any comfort.

The urban village in C City finally ushered in its most lively time of the year.

This is because fireworks are prohibited in most urban areas of City C. However, this ban does not seem to apply to urban villages, which have their own set of rules and regulations. This ban does not apply to some surrounding small shops.

Setting off firecrackers on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year means that the firecrackers are about to go off. The sound of crackling firecrackers one after another gives the village in the city a new atmosphere of the new year.

The aunt who always made a living by selling breakfast on the roadside wanted to feel happy early in the morning, so she stood on the roadside and blocked her ears, listening to the noise across the road.

A little girl stood blankly on the side of the road filled with smoke, listening to the laughter of adults, feeling a little numb.

She was very thin and didn't wear much. Her clothes were obviously too small and wrinkled on her forearms, exposing her dark and yellow skin. Her hair was neatly combed and tied back.

Some of them have grown, but they are burnt and brown. At first glance, they are malnourished and look like a yellow-haired girl.

The shoes on her feet were still summer sandals, and she shrank her big toes in shame, not daring to expose them.

He looked at the endless flow of vehicles with empty eyes and a hint of expectancy, looking like a homeless street child.

The only thing that could give her some comfort was a yellow puppy squatting at her feet, like a sculpture, loyally guarding her and never leaving her.

"Nanny, stop looking and go back."

After listening to the sound, the aunt suffered from back pain and was slightly bent over, like an abandoned long bow.

"elder brother!"

Her steps did not move, she was still stuck in place and no one could pull her away.

The aunt shook her head, knowing that she couldn't persuade her, so she had to leave.

As the people in the village in the city, who were numb and struggling for life, filed out one after another, the little girl still stood there, motionless.

It seems that she will never give up until her brother appears today.

"Brother~Brother~"

She murmured to herself, repeating it over and over again.

The little yellow dog that had been guarding him suddenly stood up, his upright ears moved, his dark eyes stared in one direction, and then he stood up straight with all limbs alert.

It whimpered softly in its throat, its ears drooped, and its upturned tail swept back and forth, as if to greet someone.

Sure enough, among the smoke, a young man wearing a black baseball cap slowly walked up. The dark and thin girl's big, deep-set eyes that took up most of her face suddenly became radiant.

"elder brother!"

She opened her arms and flew forward happily like a happy bird, forgetting everything else, and jumped into the arms of the person she thought about day and night.

"Xiao Rui, are you okay?"

The young man's magnetic and pleasant voice intoxicated the girl.

"Brother~"

But she seemed to be unable to say anything else. She only called her brother repeatedly, using different tones and different pitches of her voice to express her emotions in different situations.

The young man's expression remained normal, he touched the girl and rubbed his little head, like touching a kitten he had rescued in the past.

"Xiao Rui~ Brother, can I take you with me?"

The girl's clear eyes shone with joy. Of course she was willing. As long as she followed her brother, she would go anywhere.

"Ah Huang~"

The man squatted down again, not forgetting to pet the little yellow dog that was shaking its head and spinning around at his feet.

"I won't take you with me this time. You have more important tasks."

The little yellow dog was very humane. He squatted next to the man, grinning like a dog, and kept scratching the man's palm with one paw, cooing coquettishly.

"When I leave, I don't know when I will come back. Can you take good care of my sister for me? I know you can do it, right?"

The little yellow dog looked at him with bright eyes and a focused expression, as if he understood.

The young man touched the little yellow dog's head again as a farewell, then he took the girl's hand and slowly turned around and left.

The little yellow dog barked at their backs a few times, and then it could only tuck its tail between its legs and sit a little lonely in the grass on both sides of the road, watching the cars go by, coiling itself up end to end.

A big snake.
