Fortunately, there is still someone in this world who still misses Li Xiaoxi and wants to protect him.
When school was over that day, Li Xiaofeng called Li Xiaoxi and stayed. After everyone else left, and they were the only two people left in the empty classroom, he took out a mirror and handed it to Li Xiaoxi. Li Xiaoxi was a little dazed, and Li Xiaofeng gently helped her tidy it up.
Twisting her hair, she said: "Xiaoxi, happy birthday! Brother Xiaofeng will take you to eat delicious food later, okay?"
But when Li Xiaoxi came back to his senses and looked at Li Xiaofeng, he pushed away Li Xiaofeng's gentle and clean hand with a calm look. "Brother Xiaofeng, I have to go back quickly."
Li Xiaofeng was stunned. "If you need Brother Xiaofeng's help for anything, just tell Brother Xiaofeng. Look at your messy hair. This mirror of mine is a good thing. It can see clearly and is resistant to falling." He said with a smile and thought again.
He touched Li Xiaoxi's head and tidied up some of the messy hair. At this moment, only he knew how much he wanted to hold her hand and protect him behind him like he did when he was a child.
Li Xiaoxi took half a step back and looked at Li Xiaofeng seriously. He held the mirror in his arms and forced out a smile. He bent down and said to Li Xiaofeng, "Thank you, Brother Xiaofeng." Then he turned around and left.
Li Xiaofeng has been wandering around the city for more than half a year, but he has never had a chance to take a look at Li Xiaoxi. If he hadn't still had some money, he might not have been able to find out whether Li Xiaoxi was still alive. It is said that last month, the Hong Mansion sent all the children of school age to
After being sent to school, Li Xiaofeng finally saw Li Xiaoxi from a distance.
Then, Li Xiaofeng became the school's arithmetic teacher. For a month, Li Xiaoxi tried his best to avoid Li Xiaofeng. After Li Xiaofeng saw it, he did not take the initiative to have contact with Li Xiaoxi. Only because today is Li Xiaoxi's birthday, Li Xiaofeng finally formally met Li Xiaoxi.
He has spoken. He wants to keep Li Xiaoxi, even for a second longer.
Li Xiaofeng asked gently from behind Li Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, are you okay at Elder Hong's house?"
Li Xiaoxi did not look back, but stopped about to leave: "It has been almost ten years."
Li Xiaofeng felt ashamed and said: "Is there anything that Brother Xiaofeng can do?"
Li Xiaoxi didn't turn around or answer, he just stood there.
"Your arithmetic...can you let me help you a little more?" Li Xiaofeng really didn't know what to say. He looked at the light that was about to dissipate in front of him, feeling a little desperate.
Li Xiaoxi lowered her head and replied: "It's time for me to go back."
This was the second time Xiaoxi said the same sentence, and Li Xiaofeng felt desperate again. At this moment, he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand to hold Li Xiaoxi, so he could only let Li Xiaoxi walk away.
"Creek"
Li Xiaofeng finally managed to hold back some strength and called out the name. At this moment, he almost collapsed.
Li Xiaoxi only paused for a moment. With her back to Li Xiaofeng, she shouted in a tearful voice: "I hate arithmetic!" and then ran away.
That day, Li Xiaofeng stood there for a long time, playing the scenes over and over again in his mind. Every scene, every sentence from Li Xiaoxi, pierced Li Xiaofeng's heart. Only then did Li Xiaofeng know the "heartache" mentioned in the book.
It's real, and it hurts so much that I can't even breathe, and I collapse to the ground in pain.
Until the picture of Li Xiaoxi's cute smile before the tragedy appeared in my mind.
At this moment, Li Xiaofeng hated the time he had wasted in the past ten years, and hated that Li Xiaoxi had to suffer so much because he was not around.
Li Xiaofeng held his body up angrily and sat on the threshold, looking in the direction of Hong Mansion with a myriad of thoughts.
He understood that the sloppy image of Li Xiaoxi now meant that her life in the past ten years must have been more difficult than he imagined, and she must have suffered a lot of grievances. He thought that the great elder's love for her would allow her to have people even if her family was in decline.
Protect her and pamper her,
But now it seems that he was wrong. Judging from Li Xiaoxi's performance in school in the past month, she is not only no longer happy, her eyes are always telling Li Xiaofeng how hard she lives, just like when she was a child, she secretly saw Li Xiaofeng when she was sick.
The mother in bed had the same look in her eyes.
In the past ten years, Li Xiaofeng saw Li Xiaoxi only a handful of times. He once approached Elder Hong directly, but he almost angered the entire Hong Mansion faction.
That summer, before Li Tingting remarried, Li Xiaofeng often went to Li Xiaoxi's house, hoping to provide some help. But when the wall fell and everyone pushed him, there was nothing he could do as a restaurant master at that time. Even when their family was still the number one businessman, then
He's just a businessman.
How much favor did the Li Xiaoxi family receive before, and how much jealous revenge will come after all support is gone.
When Li Xiaofeng went to Li Xiaoxi's house to deliver something for the last time, Xiaoxi's grandfather stopped Li Xiaofeng.
"Xiaofeng, although you are just a child now, there are some things I can't help but want to ask you."
"Grandpa Xiaoxi, it doesn't matter." Li Xiaofeng's age-inappropriate eyes reminded the old man again.
"Why is your love for Xiaoxi so deep? Have you ever thought deeply about your courage to fight the whole world for her? Have you ever thought about giving up?"
"Xiaoxi is the light in my life. If Xiaoxi was not engaged in marriage, I would ask you for a marriage certificate at this moment. But please rest assured, Grandpa Xiaoxi, even if I can't always be by her side, I still want to protect her.
That light has no expiration date!"
"Xiaofeng, I really have nothing else to rely on now, and I can't repay you with anything, let alone go to Hong Mansion to cancel the engagement. Please understand." As he said this, Li Xiaoxi's grandfather suddenly knelt down in front of Li Xiaofeng, and Li Xiaofeng was so frightened that he hurriedly
He went to help Li Xiaoxi, but the old man was not willing to get up. This was the last thing that a grandfather could do for Li Xiaoxi.
The old man continued to plead with shame: "I know that you are just a child, and I also know that you are a good child. You should not have tied your bright future to my poor granddaughter. But I really have no choice.
, you are a smart and capable child, even if you can't save her now, I will leave my granddaughter to you." After saying that, he kowtowed to the eleven-year-old Li Xiaofeng.
How could Li Xiaofeng dare to accept another big gift from such a respectable old man? He quickly agreed.
"The kid will definitely protect Xiaoxi. As long as the kid is here for a day, Xiaoxi will never be wronged in the slightest."
"Xiao Feng, I am not relying on my old age to show off my old age, but after all, I have lived for so many years and have seen the decline of many families. Xiaoxi, she is destined to encounter such suffering in this life, and there may be more suffering waiting for her in the future.
.This is not something you and I can change now. Listen to grandpa, let it go for now, if
At this moment, you are too involved with Xiaoxi. You will be unfavorable to her and will harm yourself. I once heard that you made a five-year agreement in front of the great elder. I believe you can do it. If you can't do it in five years, then ten years.
, If ten years doesn’t work, then twenty years. As long as you still remember today’s promise by then and maintain your original intention of protecting the creek!”
From that day on, there was one more person guarding Fang's retreat, a child who was only eleven years old.
At the Spring Festival party three years later, Li Xiaofeng, who was only fifteen years old, almost overwhelmingly won a spot as a nurse.
The Spring Festival Party that year was also the Spring Festival Party that marked the rise of Elder Hong: the third son of the Hong Mansion also received a place as a guardian; the original city lord abdicated the throne on the grounds of old age, and the successor was the eldest son of the Hong Mansion. From then on
In terms of protecting the power in the city, Li Yihong has no family that can compete with him since the great elder has not left seclusion.
At this time, Li Xiaofeng, who was full of joy, came to Hong Mansion.
"Xiaofeng has met Elder Hong."
"Nephew Xiaofeng, what's the matter?"
"Xiaofeng has a heartless request."
"But it doesn't matter. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't congratulated my nephew Xiaofeng for winning the first place in the Spring Festival Gala. Hahaha."
"Elder Hong is interested...Li Xiaofeng wants Elder Hong to cancel the engagement between Li Xiaoxi and Li Jianfan. Xiaofeng has been in love with Li Xiaoxi for a long time and hopes that Elder Hong will fulfill his wish. Afterwards, Xiaofeng hopes that Elder Hong will obey him." At this moment, Li Xiaofeng's face showed joy.
His lust had not faded, and he felt that he had made an offer that Elder Hong could not refuse. Li Xiaoxi was already indispensable to the current Hong Mansion, and once he joined the forces of the Hong Mansion, Li Yihong would be able to capture the position of Great Elder.
.And his strength is obvious to all, and now his future is bound to be limitless in only fifteen days. He is confident that as the son of a businessman, he must be the hot potato that many forces are competing for.
"presumptuous!"
Elder Hong shouted loudly and slapped the table, almost frightening Li Xiaofeng who was standing and bowing and fell to the ground. He didn't understand what happened, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Elder Hong continue to roar angrily.
"Get this madman and put him in a cell!"
Li Xiaofeng panicked. He couldn't understand why things turned out like this. He broke free from the two guards who came to detain him and roared:
"Elder Hong, I am number one in the Spring Festival Party. You dare to touch me? Do you think you can cover the sky with just one hand? I will definitely take Li Xiaoxi away today!"
There was a "pop", and before Li Xiaofeng could react, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, with burning pain on his face, and the spiritual power in his body seemed to be unstable due to this slap. He raised his head and glared,
He only saw the tall figure looking down at him calmly. But the aura exuding from the other party's body was telling him that next - if he didn't, he would die!
This person is the eldest son of the Hong Mansion, the newly appointed city lord, and the one who is most likely to build a foundation in the future, Li Senlin!
After that, Li Xiaofeng was imprisoned in the cell for three full years. Elder Hong did not reveal any charges to the outside world. He only said that he would make a decision after the elder was released from prison. It was not until three years later that people began to forget that the number one person in the Spring Festival Party was locked in the cell. Elder Hong
Li Xiaofeng was released after a meeting of elders proposed that a nurse from the previous session should continue to serve as the current session's nurse.
On the first night when Li Xiaofeng returned home, the city lord personally came to the door and sat in the elegant room of Fuxiang Restaurant for a quarter of an hour before leaving. After that, everyone seemed to have forgotten that Fuxiang Restaurant had a nurse.
After Li Senlin left, Li Xiaofeng sat alone in the private room drinking wine. Xiaofeng's father couldn't stand it, so he opened the door and came in, sat across from Li Xiaofeng, and drank with his son.
"Feng'er, you've suffered." After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass.
"Father, do you think I am useless? I get carried away with my grades and go so far as to go and discuss with a big family, 'Your wife is of no use to you, why don't you give it to me?' Hahaha, ah~ I'm so proud of you
I'm so pedantic about those big families, hahahaha. I'm going to make you suffer accordingly."
After drinking a glass of wine, Li Xiaofeng continued: "I also insulted Xiaoxi, she is not an item that can be exchanged." Li Xiaofeng reached out to grab the wine bottle, but his father quickly snatched it away.
Li Xiaofeng's father slowly poured himself a glass of wine, then stood up and poured a glass for his son.
"Feng'er, you have always been the pride of your father and your mother. If Qiaolin were still here, she would definitely encourage you, because in her eyes you will always be a smart child who can solve any problem."
"I'm afraid I will let her down again." The last thing Li Xiaofeng wanted to mention was his mother. Back then, he promised his mother that he would find a way to cure her and protect her throughout her life. But in the end, her mother left. He
He knew that his mother never wanted him to regret this, but he couldn't let it go after so many years.
Hearing Li Xiaofeng say such words, the man rarely got angry in front of Li Xiaofeng and slammed his wine glass on the table.
"Your mother will never be disappointed in you."
Li Xiaofeng was silent and then returned to his room. He looked at the moonlight outside the window and thought about Li Xiaoxi at this moment. Confused, he decided to retreat again. At this moment, he just wanted to escape.
