Xing Yunhai began to train Chu Qiao in all aspects. Chu Qiao had a good foundation and knew a lot. He was easier to control than Bai Xiaofan before, but his nature was not bad enough.

When doing illegal things, there is always a trace of hesitation on his eyebrows.

But the path was chosen by Chu Qiao himself. Whether he was kneeling or covering his conscience, he could only walk all the way to the dark side with no way back.

In addition to receiving training from Xing Yunhai, Chu Qiao also has to work for Xing Yunhai, but his most important responsibility is to take good care of Xiaoyu.

At first, Chu Qiao really thought Xiaoyu would be troublesome, and she even disliked her a little bit in her heart.

Just because Xiaoyu was born, she was very good and precious. She was Xingyunhai’s only granddaughter, and she couldn’t see. Of course she had been spoiled by others, and her personality was obviously not very good - this reminded Chu Qiao of Qin Lan, too.

The main reason why he doesn't like small fish very much.

Chu Qiao thought Xiaoyu would be like Qin Lan, arrogant, selfish and self-righteous.

But, that was not the case. The more he came into contact with Xiaoyu, the more he changed his mind about her.

Xiaoyu is not arrogant, has a surprisingly gentle temper, has no airs, and does not impose himself on others. His duty is not so much to take care of Xiaoyu, but more appropriately, to be her smart blind stick.

She didn't need his care. She could do many things by herself. He just stood beside her and looked at her silently.

If it weren't for her eyesight, she wouldn't need him at all.

Although Chu Qiao is the one who takes care of Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu rarely asks him for help. It should be said that she almost never asks him for help.

Today too.

When Xiaoyu finished basking in the sun in the garden and was about to go into the house, Chu Qiao deliberately refused to hold her hand. She also didn't ask him for help, and groped her way by herself, stumbling along.

Chu Qiao was following her, watching as she tripped her feet several times and almost fell. One of her shoes fell off. Even though she was in such a mess, she still persisted.

Chu Qiao suddenly couldn't understand the girl in front of her. Why was she so stubborn?

Obviously, as long as she opens her mouth, someone will definitely help her. But she refuses to open her mouth.

Chu Qiao bent down and picked up Xiaoyu's dropped shoes, feeling a little soft-hearted towards her for no reason.

Carrying a flat shoe, he quickly walked forward, supported Xiaoyu who almost fell, and asked her: "Why didn't you call me?"

Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment. Chu Qiao usually didn't pay much attention to her, but now, he asked her why.

She thought for a while and answered truthfully: "I just want to try walking alone."

Chu Qiao raised her eyebrows, her eyes showing understanding.

This girl doesn't want to be taken care of. Instead, she prefers to be alone and free, even if it makes her miserable.

"You need a blind stick." Chu Qiao said.

When Xiaoyu heard this, he stopped talking.

"Is your grandpa not allowed?" Chu Qiao guessed that Xiaoyu had been blind for so long, but he had never seen her use crutches.

Others have always been taking care of her.

"Yeah." Xiaoyu smiled helplessly. Grandpa really loved her. The reason why he didn't allow her to use the blind cane was because he didn't want her to be discriminated against.

Chu Qiao understood, and with Xing Yunhai's temperament, he didn't want to say anything else.

He simply picked up Xiaoyu and carried her into the house to prevent her from staggering around.

"Brother Chu Qiao..."

Xiaoyu had grown so big and was picked up by a strange man for the first time. He seemed very overwhelmed and clung to Chu Qiao's arms, hunched over tightly.

Chu Qiao patted Xiaoyu's tight waist to let her relax. She had no other intention: "It's more convenient to hold her like this. From now on, when I'm here, don't show off and walk around."

Xiaoyu licked her lips. In fact, she wanted to refuse. She was not used to being carried away.

But, in the end, she compromised: "...Yeah."

Being close to Chu Qiao's chest, Xiaoyu heard the heartbeat of a person at such a close distance for the first time. It felt amazing.

***

In the days that followed, Chu Qiao and Xiaoyu formed a strange but harmonious relationship with each other.

Every morning, as long as Chu Qiao was around, Chu Qiao would wake up Xiaoyu. He was much more attentive than the first time. He would first hand Xiaoyu a glass of honey water and then help her get down.

Whenever this happens, Xiaoyu always asks him how the weather is today.

He would be patient and answer her.

When the weather is good, she will ask to go to the garden to bask in the sun. When the weather is bad, she will sit in the study and listen to books.

At noon, Xiaoyu's attending physician will come over to apply medicine to her eyes.

Although Xiaoyu has been blind for so many years, she still does not give up and always looks for different ophthalmologists to check her eyes.

After giving the medicine, the doctor left.

When Chu Qiao stepped into the room, she saw Xiaoyu closing her eyes and sitting obediently on a chair. The sunlight outside the window filtered in. It was a beautiful still painting.

"Does it hurt?" Chu Qiao noticed Xiaoyu's red eyelids.

"It hurts, but I'm used to it." Xiaoyu said lightly, and no pain could be heard.

Chu Qiao looked at Xiaoyu intently. After getting along with her during these days, he knew that Xiaoyu was an extremely tolerant girl. If she could even say the word "pain", then it must be very painful.

Chu Qiao's big and gentle hands touched Xiaoyu's head and gently rubbed her hair twice.

"Huh?" Xiaoyu raised his head, puzzled by Chu Qiao's behavior.

"It's okay, let's go to sleep later." Chu Qiao put down her hand and said.

"Yeah." Xiaoyu nodded. She was also tired, her eyes hurt, and she wanted to lie down and rest.

Chu Qiao picked up Xiaoyu, went back to the room, put her gently on the bed, and covered her with a quilt. This time, he didn't just leave, but sat aside and watched her slowly fall asleep.

There is an MP3 player on the front desk, which Xiaoyu often carries with him to listen to books.

Chu Qiao picked it up casually, fiddled with it twice, put on one earphone, and turned on the switch - he thought there would be many songs or audios from many books, but no, there was only the audio from a fairy tale.

Chu Qiao took off his headphones. He was past the age of listening to fairy tales.

The same goes for small fish.

***

Afterwards, Chu Qiao would always find time to read to Xiaoyu and read the contents of the book to her.

He couldn't figure out what his mentality was for being nice to Xiaoyu, but she was so well-behaved that he felt a little sympathetic.

Xiaoyu usually doesn't have much entertainment. It's rare that Chu Qiao is willing to read to her. Naturally, she likes it very much. She becomes more attached to Chu Qiao and likes to listen to the sound of him reading.

The distance between Xiaoyu and Chu Qiao was getting closer unknowingly, although they were still cautiously guarded against each other.

In the study room.

Xiaoyu lay on the desk, closed his eyes, and listened carefully to the sound of Chu Qiao reading. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised unconsciously.

The wind blows into the room, making it lazy and comfortable.

"Brother Chu Qiao, what's the name of this book?" Xiaoyu opened his eyes and asked.

She listened to this book for a week before she finished it. The ending of the story turned out to be like this...

"Hamlet, written by Shakespeare." Chu Qiao put down the book and drank a glass of water, her voice was sexy and hoarse.

"It's a tragedy, not good." Xiaoyu didn't like the ending. This was something she didn't expect. She thought the ending would be the same as she imagined.

"Yeah." Chu Qiao didn't feel much. Comedy and tragedy were very numb to him.

He put the book back on the shelf, turned around, glanced at the girl who was still struggling with the ending of the story, and chuckled: "I will go to China with Xi Han next week, and will come back in about a week. During this time, There will be others to take care of you. If you want to listen to a book, you can listen to your mp3. I have downloaded the audio files of several books."

Xiaoyu nodded obediently, said "Oh", and continued: "However, I still like to listen to brother Chu Qiao's voice. When you come back, you will read to me again."

"Okay." Chu Qiao reached out and touched Xiaoyu's head, telling her to stop thinking about the end of the story.

Now they are like a brother and a sister, close but not breaking the rules.

The future is unknown.

Xiaoyu is smart. She preconceivedly called Chu Qiao her brother from the beginning. Over time, Chu Qiao slowly accepted her and subconsciously treated her like a younger sister.

For now, Xiaoyu is very satisfied with the relationship and the way they get along with Chu Qiao.

However, what Xiaoyu doesn't know is that the fruit she sows from a seed may not be the result she wants.
