"… Gege, can I request something?" Han Shun suddenly asked.
"Of course!"
Han Shun took one step forward to close his gap with Bai Gege, and he hugged Bai Gege's chest tightly. Han Shun buried his face on Bai Gege's chest and said, "Gege, hug me."
Bai Shijue was surprised by Han Shun's sudden hug. He froze on the spot for a while until he regulated his breath and hugged Han Shun back.
Four years had passed, and the young man that Bai Shijue picked up from the street was now 14 years old. He was almost as tall as Bai Shijue, proving that he would be a mighty man in the future.
Yet, the young man still had a childishness in his heart. He still liked to be hugged, patted on the head, and praised for the small achievements he got.
"You did well, Han Shun."
"Bai Gege, please don't leave Han Shun. I will try my best every day to be worthy to stand by your side. I will protect you in the future…."
