Become a star to protect you

Chapter 1 No one can bully you after wedge, come home with me, okay?

summer night.

The moonlight poured down like water, and the dark night seemed to be covered with a layer of silver light, and many shining stars were inlaid on the vast sky.

The cool evening wind blows head-on, blowing away the heat of the day, making people feel refreshed.

In the silent night, there is only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

The sound of a series of light footsteps resounded in the quiet air, which was very clear.

In the night, a well-behaved and delicate girl came, her jet-black hair scattered to her forehead in a mess, and a white dress was blown up by the wind, like a piece of pure white petals flying in the wind.

Xia Xiaoxi likes such a beautiful summer night.

She raised her head and looked at the starry night sky, her mood became extraordinarily relaxed.

There was a little light on the tip of her nose, the stars in the night sky were reflected in her eyes as bright as onyx, and there was a slight smile on the corner of her lips, and the soft moonlight set off her fair and tender facial features more delicately.

The way home was a bit deserted, but as long as she looked up and saw the stars in the sky, she would not feel lonely.

There was a faint fragrance of green grass in the air. She took a deep breath, only feeling refreshed, and the smile on the corner of her mouth involuntarily deepened.

Suddenly, something broke into her eyes.

Xia Xiaoxi's originally brisk footsteps suddenly stopped, she blinked her eyes, and slowly looked to the side.

Through the dim streetlights in the distance, she saw a small black figure curled up in the shadows, and the lonely and sad atmosphere attracted her deeply for an instant.

She froze on the spot, staring at it for a while.Seeing the black figure curled up motionless in the darkness, she gritted her teeth and bravely approached the black figure slowly.Through the moonlight, she finally saw clearly that it was a boy who looked not much older than her.

It was a boy who was more beautiful than an elf. Although his delicate facial features were a little immature, they were as elegant as a prince.He lowered his head slightly, without any expression on his face, his eyes stared blankly ahead, as if he had lost his soul.Even the hair that hangs down to his forehead is shining faintly, which makes people feel that he has a strange charm all over him.

Then, Xia Xiaoxi gasped, because she found that there were mottled blood stains on his body.

As if hearing her footsteps, the boy raised his head quietly.

What a pair of beautiful eyes!
His eyes are like the clearest stream, with indifference and alienation, as if he can see through people's soul unconsciously.

Xia Xiaoxi swears that these are the most beautiful eyes she has ever seen.The moment the boy looked at her, she felt as if she had fallen into another world...

She forgot herself and everything around her, as if bewitched by his eyes, forgot to think, and just stared at him blankly, as if all the stars in the night sky had fallen into his eyes.

He's like a wounded angel...

"Are you an angel?" She blurted out and asked, even so, she still seemed cautious, for fear that the loud voice would scare him.

The moonlight fell quietly, and a few glowing green fireflies flew into the grass.

Hearing her question, the coldness in the little boy's eyes quickly subsided, his thin body trembled slightly, he flinched, and stared at her in fear.

He must be injured, otherwise how could he show such distressing eyes.

Xia Xiaoxi couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

She gently knelt down in front of him, blinked her big eyes, smiled softly at him, and tried to soften her voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. My name is Xia Xiaoxi, how about you?"

The childish voice echoed in the dark night like a nightingale singing.

The boy stared at her silently.

As the distance got closer, Xia Xiaoxi realized that those blood stains didn't seem to be his.In spite of his distressed appearance, she examined him carefully and found that he was not injured.

I don't know what terrible things he has experienced to make him like this.

The boy still didn't speak, and the light in his eyes was a little dimmer than before, as if he wasn't interested in her appearance.He took his eyes away from her face and looked up at the starry sky, that kind of lonely despair gripped Xia Xiaoxi's heart.

Time passed by bit by bit, Xia Xiaoxi's feet under her body were already a little numb, but the boy remained silent.

He quietly looked up at the night sky, as if there were thoughts that could draw his soul.

"You..." Xia Xiaoxi was about to speak, but saw a tear fall from the corner of the boy's eye like a falling meteor.

However, his face was expressionless, and he looked like a puppet doll, as if the tear was not his.But Xia Xiaoxi was still keenly aware that his body was trembling slightly, as if trying to suppress the intense pain in his heart.

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Xiaoxi stretched out her hand, but didn't dare to touch him.

Seeing him curled up into a ball, she suddenly had a strong desire to hug the boy into her arms, hold him tightly, and tell him not to be sad, not sad, and not afraid...

"Are...are you afraid?" Xia Xiaoxi moved closer to him, looked at his hands clasped on his knees, and mustered up the courage to hold them firmly.

The boy froze for a moment, then immediately raised his head and widened his eyes.

There was a sincere and bright light in Xia Xiaoxi's eyes, her white dress was reflected brightly by the moonlight, and her clean and delicate face made her look like an angel waving white wings.

Her voice is also beautiful, like the singing of an angel——

"Wouldn't this be better?"

The boy's eyes trembled, and he lowered his head to look at the hand tightly held by her, his thick eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings.After a while, he raised his head and looked at her thoughtfully, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

Seeing that he had no intention of resisting her, Xia Xiaoxi immediately said to him with a smile: "Actually, I would be very scared when I go home alone, but with so many stars accompanying me, I am not afraid anymore. Are you also very scared?" Like to look at the stars? Just now you have been staring at the sky, I can see it from your eyes."

But the boy still didn't want to talk to her.

Xia Xiaoxi curled her lips, and simply sat next to him.

"Why don't you come home so late?" She tilted her head and continued talking to him.

The boy glanced at her, then lowered his head silently, without answering her, but his body didn't seem to tremble as much as before.

Xia Xiaoxi looked at him with some grievances, her face was full of frustration, no matter at home or at school, she was always a princess in everyone's eyes, no matter at home or at school, and few people were so indifferent to her.

But soon, a look of understanding flashed in her eyes.

She stretched out a finger as delicate as an onion, looked at the boy, and said meaningfully: "Oh, I see! You must have fought with others, was scolded by your mother, and then ran out secretly, right? You ran away from home—”

She dragged on the end, but found that the boy's face changed in an instant, his beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of dark red blood, coquettish like a manjusawa from hell, full of sadness and despair.

He glanced at Xia Xiaoxi, moved his lips, then indifferently withdrew his hand, turned around and faced her with his stiff back, looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky again.

Xia Xiaoxi lowered her head in frustration.

I thought he wouldn't speak, but unexpectedly he made a sound, but his voice was low and weak, as if soaked in ice: "I don't have a mother anymore..."

Xia Xiaoxi's expression froze, the boy's words reminded her of some horrible things.

She cautiously probed: "Then your father..."

Before she finished speaking, she found that the boy tensed up. He jumped up from the ground, clenched his fists and shouted angrily: "I don't have a father, never have! I haven't even seen what he looks like, I Only mother! Only mother... no... I don't even..." He seemed to think of something, and suddenly choked up, with crystal tears rolling in his eyes.

He looked at Xia Xiaoxi, opened his mouth, and continued after a while, "Now, I don't even have a mother... They say that I am the child of a murderer, and my mother is not a murderer, no! She did it to protect me." Hurting, she is not a murderer!"

He got more and more excited, and finally almost screamed: "My mother is not a murderer!"

As if wanting to vent all his sadness and anger, he clenched his fists and yelled at Xia Xiaoxi with all his might.The great sadness was like a rushing tide, clamoring to drag people into the suffocating darkness, which caught Xia Xiaoxi by surprise.She stared blankly at the emotional boy, sitting on the ground at a loss.

"Mother is not a murderer, no! Mother died for me... I killed her... Mother is not a murderer. Mother, mother..."

The boy opened his mouth slightly, with tears in his eyes, but stubbornly refused to let the tears flow out.His eyes were blank, he seemed to be remembering something terrible, he kept shaking his head, his body trembled violently, and he stepped back step by step...

After a while, Xia Xiaoxi came back to her senses.

She got up from the ground and looked at the boy who was in pain.Her heart was heavy, and the boy looked so helpless and desperate, as if even surviving was an unbearable pain...

Before she had time to think, she had already rushed over and hugged him tightly.

The boy slowly came back to his senses, staring blankly at Xia Xiaoxi, who was about the same height as him, felt the warmth from her body, and the pain in his heart eased a lot for no reason.

Such a warm embrace, just like his mother hugged him...

"Don't be sad, I believe in you. You don't have a father or a mother anymore, so I'll take you home, okay? From now on, my father will be your father, and my mother will be your mother, okay?" Xia Xiaoxi said, shaking her hands He tightened his hand, "No one can bully you in the future, come home with me, okay?"

Looking at her innocent and kind face and those agate-like eyes, the boy slowly calmed down as if he had been bewitched.

A gust of wind blows, bringing a faint fragrance.

Fireflies flew out of the grass one after another, fluttering behind them, emitting emerald green fluorescence.The street lamp illuminated two small figures walking side by side holding hands, casting two intimate shadows on the cold road.

The moon climbed higher, and the moonlight became brighter, as if witnessing this warm moment...

That night, Xia's house was as lively as if a pot had exploded.

When Dad Xia saw his daughter bring back a boy with mottled blood stains on his body, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak a word.Mother Xia was even more frightened, she immediately pulled her daughter aside and asked her what was going on.

"He has no father, no mother, he has no home, I want to give him a home, I promised him. Dad, didn't you tell me, you must keep your word, I promised him It must be done!" Xia Xiaoxi shook off Mother Xia's hand, ran to Father Xia, blinked her big eyes, and said solemnly.

"But..." Father Xia looked at his daughter hesitantly. When he saw the determination in Xia Xiaoxi's eyes, his attitude finally softened. He turned to the boy and asked, "What's your name?"

Under the light, the figure of the boy is like the most coquettish and beautiful sculpture in the hands of an artist, and the whole person looks as dazzling as a star on a huge poster.

"An Yichen." The boy raised his head and glanced at Dad Xia, his tone was a little alienated and defensive, and he didn't show any timidity because he was in someone else's house.

"Where's your mother?" Papa Xia asked again.

"Mom... is dead." An Yichen's eyes flickered for a moment, like a cold light, revealing a trace of pain.

"What about your father?" Papa Xia continued to ask with a flash of pity in his eyes.

"He doesn't have a father." Xia Xiaoxi rolled her dark eyes, she was afraid that An Yichen would yell like just now, so she rushed to answer immediately.She turned her head and saw that An Yichen's eyes had dimmed, and she didn't intend to speak, so she breathed a sigh of relief and repeated his name in her heart - An Yichen, it sounded so nice.

"Then where do you live now?" Papa Xia asked, frowning.

"Orphanage." An Yichen spat out these three words very reluctantly. Seeing Father Xia's worried eyes, he continued to explain, "Mom was pushed away, and I was sent to the orphanage, but I don't like it there. .”

"So you escaped?"

"Well, because they said... They said my mother is a murderer, but my mother is not!" He raised his head, puffed out his chest, his black eyes were shining with a bright light, and the expression on his face was very serious, as if Resolutely want to protect the last bit of dignity of mother.

"Murderer?" Xia's father exclaimed, turning his head to look at his daughter in surprise, "God, Xiaoxi, can you tell me what's going on? Why do I become more and more confused the more I listen?"

"His mother hurt others to protect him. This is the greatest mother, isn't she?" Xia Xiaoxi pouted her red lips, as if she was very displeased with her father's fuss.

Xia's father took a breath, trying to understand what they said, and finally figured out a general idea.It appears that the boy's mother wounded someone trying to protect him and died of her own injuries. After the body was taken away by the police, he was sent to an orphanage.

He raised his head to look at An Yichen, who was covered in blood, and frowned even deeper. He didn't expect things to become so complicated.

"Then you mean you want him to stay in our house?" Dad Xia asked his daughter.

"Well! Of course, he has nowhere to go now." Xia Xiaoxi nodded vigorously, shaking the corner of Xia's father's clothes, smiling coquettishly, "Dad usually taught me to help others, In my mind, my father is so kind and great, can I bear to see him living on the street?"

Xia's father was so shaken by her, he looked at his daughter's sly smile, sighed, and then turned to An Yichen: "Although I don't know what happened, but if Xiaoxi really promised you, We will let you stay at this home. But tomorrow you need to go to the orphanage with me, I can't just leave you at home without going through the formalities. "

"Father, you agreed?" Xia Xiaoxi asked expectantly.

"Yes!" Father Xia looked at his daughter helplessly, rubbed her hair lightly, and secretly decided in his heart that he would go to the orphanage tomorrow to inquire clearly before making any plans.

When An Yichen heard his words, his body trembled suddenly, and he immediately raised his head.

He stayed in that place for less than a day, but he was terrified and dazed as if he had entered hell. People there said his mother was a murderer. No matter adults or children, no matter where he went, he couldn't avoid those things. Screeching sound.Nobody listens to him explain, nobody believes his mom is the best mom in the world...

So, he tried his best to escape.

If possible, he would never enter that place again in his life!
As if seeing An Yichen's worry, Father Xia frowned slightly. For some reason, he felt unspeakable pity for this child in his heart.Seeing his bloodless face, you can tell that he has been bullied a lot there.

So, he sighed and comforted him: "Don't worry, it's just to ask some questions. If you don't think our family is poor, you can stay after completing the formalities."

Xia Xiaoxi's eyes widened immediately, her face was full of surprise, she threw herself on Father Xia, hugged his head and kissed him forcefully: "My dear father, you are so handsome, I love you so much!"

"You child, you've grown up, why do you still look like this?" Father Xia wiped the drool on his face while staring at his precious daughter pretending to be annoyed, but his eyes were full of faint smiles.

Xia Xiaoxi jumped off Dad Xia and ran to An Yichen's side, her eyes bent into crescents because of her happiness.She grabbed An Yichen's hand and said incoherently with excitement: "Did you hear that? My father promised to let you stay! Great, An Yichen, we will be a family from now on, great!"

The cool evening wind lifted the curtains of Xia's living room, and the twinkling stars in the sky became brighter and more dazzling.

Under the moonlight, Xia Xiaoxi was jumping for joy, hugging the boy desperately, jumping and jumping.

Seeing Xia Xiaoxi's warm and bright smile, An Yichen suddenly felt as if a ray of light had penetrated the dark night sky. In the darkness of despair, he finally had the desire to continue living again.

There was a scent of fragrance coming from Xia Xiaoxi's body, like a warm dream, peaceful and quiet.

All the nightmares seem to be over...

Xia's father and Xia's mother had faint smiles in their eyes. In an instant, An Yichen's heart suddenly became very warm, very warm, like...

It feels like coming home.
