Chapter 80: First Encounter

When he was eight years old, little Gu Jingzhan was abandoned by Wen Xueru in a strange city.

That day, Wen Xueru took him to a park to play, and then said to him: Wait for me here, don’t go anywhere.

At that time, Gu Jingzhan could feel that his mother didn’t like him and was always cold to him.

But he always longed for his mother’s love. He thought that as long as he was well-behaved and obedient enough, his mother would like him one day.

So, he stood there and waited obediently.

But this time, when it was dark, Wen Xueru didn’t come back to find him.

The sky was dark, and the lights in the park lit up one by one, illuminating the lonely and confused figure of little Gu Jingzhan.

He squatted helplessly on the lawn of the park, holding his little self tightly with both hands, with crystal tears flashing in his eyes, but he was stubborn and refused to let them fall.

At this moment, he finally understood that no matter how well-behaved and sensible he was, and how hard he tried to please, he would not be liked by his mother.

His mother didn’t love him.

The reason why she took him out to play this time was also to get rid of this child she didn’t like under this name.

In this strange place, he was a handsome child, and there was no parent watching him, so he naturally became the target of those human traffickers.

Later, he was captured by human traffickers.

After wandering around, he was stubborn and unyielding, so he was inevitably beaten by human traffickers.

Although he was angry and didn’t want to go home, he didn’t want to continue to fall into the hands of human traffickers, so he tried every means to escape.

In order to avoid being targeted by bad guys again, he deliberately dirty his face and disguised himself as a wandering little beggar.

Once, because little Gu Jingzhan was too hungry, he robbed food from the homeless people under the overpass and was surrounded and beaten.

He curled up his small body tightly, protected his head with both hands, and tried his best to resist their fists and kicks.

Although he was beaten all over, he didn’t shed a tear, and his eyes were full of tenacity.

At this moment, a beautiful and lovely girl appeared.

She was held tightly in the arms of a man, blinking her big eyes, and said in a soft voice: Dad, they are beating people, please save that little brother~

After hearing his daughter’s words, Xiang Yanhua immediately stopped the people who were committing violence.

Stop! I have called the police, and the police will be here soon.

Hearing the word police, the violent people stopped and fled in a hurry.

After seeing that all the people had left, little Xiang Wanqiao broke free from Xiang Yanhua’s arms and ran to Gu Jingzhan.

Her clear and innocent eyes were full of concern, and she asked him: Little brother, are you okay?

Little Gu Jingzhan raised his head slightly and looked at the extremely beautiful little girl in front of him. A bright color flashed in his dull black eyes.

He pursed his lips and said nothing, just quietly staring at the angel-like little girl in front of him.

Seeing that he didn’t speak, little Xiang Wanqiao didn’t care, and her pretty little face raised an innocent smile, and then stretched out a white and soft little hand to him.

Little brother, can’t you get up? It’s okay, I’ll help you up

Little Gu Jingzhan’s eyes fell on the delicate little hand, and an indescribable feeling of emotion surged in his heart.

After a few seconds of silence, he seemed to have mustered up the courage and carefully stretched out his hand to the little girl.

But when he saw his dirty hands, the courage that had just been ignited instantly dissipated, and he intended to take his hand back.

Little Xiang Wanqiao obviously saw his hesitation, and took his hand without caring, and said to him: Little brother, I am not afraid of dirt, and I don’t dislike you.

Little Gu Jingzhan was still silent. He slowly got up from the ground, and then pulled his hand back slightly shyly and awkwardly.

Little Xiang Wanqiao didn’t care either, and asked him curiously: Little brother, can’t you speak?

Seeing that he still didn’t speak, Xiao Xiang Wanqiao’s concern for him became stronger.

She looked at the wound on his body and asked softly: Little brother, are you in pain? I’ll let Dad drive you to the hospital.

After that, Xiao Xiang Wanqiao looked back at Xiang Yanhua behind him, and her bright eyes were full of kindness.

She asked, Dad, let’s take the little brother to the hospital~

Xiang Yanhua smiled with relief, nodded and agreed, Okay, let’s take the little brother to the hospital. Our Qiaoqiao is really a kind and sensible child.

After that, Xiang Yanhua and Xiao Xiang Wanqiao took Xiao Gu Jingzhan to the hospital together and asked the doctor to treat his wounds.

Every scar on his body silently tells all the unbearable experiences he has had during this period, which makes people feel pity.

When the medicine touched the scars on his body, he also endured it and said nothing, and even didn’t shed a tear.

Xiang Yanhua felt that this child was pitiful. While he was treating his wounds, he went to the nearby area to buy him a new set of clothes and some food for him.

After the doctor helped him treat his wounds, Xiao Xiang Wanqiao went in to find him as soon as possible.

He was like an eggplant hit by frost, and the whole person was extremely dull. From the beginning to now, he has never spoken a word.

Xiao Xiang Wanqiao walked gently in front of him and gave him the delicate and beautiful red tulip in her hand.

Little brother, this is the flower Qiaoqiao gave you. Don’t be so unhappy anymore.

She looked at him with eyes full of innocence and kindness, trying to comfort the injured little boy in her own way.

Little Gu Jingzhan lowered his eyes and stared quietly at the red tulip in her hand.

Seeing that he didn’t take it, little Xiang Wanqiao said softly: My mother said that when you are unhappy, you will become very happy when you receive flowers from others.

Little brother, I hope you can be happy.

Her eyes were very sincere, making it impossible to guard against and refuse.

Little Gu Jingzhan bit his lip, then slowly reached out to take the red tulip, and said in a low voice: Thank you.

Little brother, you finally spoke!

Little Xiang Wanqiao saw that he finally spoke, her eyebrows curved, and she smiled very happily.

Little brother, my name is Xiang Wanqiao. My parents call me Qiaoqiao. You can call me Qiaoqiao, too.

Little brother, what’s your name? Where do you live?

…

During his days of wandering, he experienced nothing but deception and pain. His little world was completely shrouded in darkness, without a trace of warmth or light.

But the appearance of the little girl was like a warm sunshine, illuminating the dark corner deep in his heart.

Her innocent smile was deeply imprinted in his heart, making him unforgettable for the rest of his life, and it became his most steadfast obsession.

Later, with the help of Xiang Yanhua, he was successfully taken back to the Gu family.
