”Ying …” Yun Hao had just reached out his hand, but immediately retracted it back.
This time, he could not retreat. He could not let the children develop the habit of believing that crying could solve all the problems.
He stood where he was, watching as he wailed and disappeared into the crowd.
The surrounding people all said, ”Hey, young man, such a young girl, why are you angry with her? Why aren't you chasing after him? ”
”That's right. A child doesn't know how to act. Don't get angry at her. Quickly go and chase after her. If you lose her, that will be bad.”
”Such a cute little girl. If you get kidnapped by a trafficker, I'll see what you do. Don't just stand there. Hurry up and chase her.”
Yun Hao clenched both his hands into fists, ignoring the voices of the people, he turned and walked towards the old street.
He did not have to worry about her safety at all. In this world, there was probably no one who could hurt her. Yun Hao only hoped that after Ying Ying calmed down, he would properly reflect on his own wrongs. As long as she came back to apologize to him, Yun Hao would forgive her, and he wouldn't have to worry about Ying Ying not being able to find the way there. Her nose was even more sensitive than a dog's, and she would be able to find her way home with her eyes closed.
When Yun Hao reached the entrance of the old street, he met Lin Ruoruo who had just finished school and was carrying his backpack back home.
She lowered her head with a downcast expression on her face. It seemed as if her mind was preoccupied with something.
Yun Hao shouted a few times, but he did not hear her reply.
”Ruo!” Yun Hao had no choice but to walk behind her and lightly pat his shoulder.
”Ah, Brother Yun Hao.” Lin Ruoruo turned his head, and said with some surprise.
”Why are you school so early?” Yun Hao asked.
It was only five in the afternoon. Generally speaking, high school students wouldn't leave school so early, right?
Lin Ruoruo's eyes flickered a little as he replied, ”Mn, it's rather early today after school.”
”It's good to be home early after school. Go home and accompany Grandma.” Yun Hao said.
The two walked on the old street together and chatted idly. Yun Hao could feel that Lin Ruoruo seemed to be somewhat absent-minded. It was normal for a girl this age to meet with such a situation. Perhaps she had met a boy she liked?
When he arrived at Lin Ruoruo's house, Yun Hao waved his hand to say his farewells, and said: ”Then I'll be going now.”
”Wait a minute!” Lin Ruoruo suddenly called out to Yun Hao, and said: ”Brother Yun Hao, actually, I am... There's something I need your help with. ”
”What is it?” Yun Hao asked.
”Can you come with me to the school in place of Grandma at the parents' meeting tomorrow?”
Since Lin Ruoruo was very young, her parents had already passed away, so all these years, every time the clan elders met, it was because of Granny Lin. When the Granny Lin was busy, it was replaced by Yun Hao's father, Yun Han. But now, the Granny Lin had recovered from her illness, and it was not appropriate for him to walk around. Yun Hao's father had also passed away, and the only one who could replace the Granny Lin was Yun Hao.
Yun Hao naturally would not refuse something like this. This was because he knew very well what it was like for a child to attend a parents' meeting without a parent standing behind them.
This was because this was what Yun Hao did when he was young. From kindergarten all the way to high school, every time the parents met, there would be a mother or father behind the other students, and some of them even came together with their parents.
With this frequent occurrence, the students had even spread rumors that Yun Hao was an orphan, without any parents at all.
