The phrase "two kids from out of town sticking together" immediately filled Xia Fang with a sense of sorrow…
Indeed.
Only when these two children were together could they take care of each other and support one another.
Compared to "influence," their safety was of utmost importance.
"Yes, thank you, Little Chen, for protecting our Xinyu,"
Xia Fang said, no longer dwelling on who was more "proactive" in their relationship.
She had always wanted Xia Xinyu to live with her, but the child did not want to trouble anyone and insisted on living alone.
Now, she had a 'family member.' Wasn't that better than anything else?
"When we reach senior year, no, even next term, it will get darker as we finish school later and later. With me around, Auntie, you won't have to worry about Xinyu," Chen Yuan spoke with a maturity and calmness beyond his years.
Xia Xinyu felt moved.
No, that's not right.
