China, A City, in a certain villa district.

The summer sun was exceptionally warm, scorching the pavement. Accompanied by the chirping of cicadas in the trees, it was an indescribable feeling of annoyance.

The landscaping of the villa district was done well. Looking at the greenery from upstairs, one would feel a little chilly just by looking at it.

The air-conditioner on the second floor was working diligently to maintain a suitable temperature in the room.

The person on the bed was sleeping soundly, wrapped in a blanket.

The sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and onto the girl's face. Her fair cheeks were suffused with a beautiful blush, and her black curly hair was scattered around the pillow because she was sleeping … She seemed to be dreaming of something, but there was a sweet smile on her lips.

Song Xuan opened her eyes and was blinded by the strong light for a moment. Her delicate little face wrinkled, and she squinted to size up her surroundings.

The room was very big, and the floor was covered with a carpet. There were all kinds of plush dolls scattered on it, and she was even holding one in her arms. The overall decoration style was pink, and the furnishings were also what young girls would like.

Song Xuan had just woken up. She sat on the bed in a daze for a while before slowly crawling out of the blanket. She searched the bedside for a while, but she couldn't find her shoes. She simply ran down the stairs barefooted.

"Grandma?

Grandma?

I can't find my shoes … "

When she reached the corner of the stairs, she saw her grandma sitting on the sofa. Opposite her was a handsome young man wearing a white shirt and black pants. Some strands of hair on his forehead covered his eyebrows, revealing a pair of slightly cold eyes.

He looked clean and neat, and there was an indescribable sense of coolness in the hot summer.

The two of them were talking about something.

Hearing Song Xuan's voice, her grandma turned her head and looked over. She smiled kindly and joked, "Grandma's little lazy pig is up?"

Song Xuan ran over and sat down with her messy hair. She hugged her grandma's arm and said in a soft and coquettish voice, "Grandma … I'm not a little lazy pig …" Then she curiously peeked at the young man diagonally opposite her.

The young man raised his eyes and looked at her coldly. He picked up the cup on the coffee table and drank a mouthful of water without saying a word.

Song Xuan pouted and muttered something under his breath.

Grandma turned sideways and picked up a pair of rabbit slippers from the corner of the sofa. She handed them to Song Xuan. "Here, aren't the slippers here?"

Then he smiled lovingly. "You still say you're not a little lazy pig. You fell asleep on the sofa while watching TV. It was your brother from Zhizhou who sent you back to your room."

When Song Xuan heard this name, he was puzzled. "Zhizhou's brother?"

Then she came to a sudden realization and looked at Xu Zhizhou with sparkling eyes. "Oh, it's Brother Xiaoxiao!"

When Xu Zhizhou heard this familiar address, his hand holding the cup paused. When he placed it on the glass table, it inevitably made a dull sound.

Before Song Xuan could say anything else, he said goodbye to his grandmother, "Grandma Song, since there's nothing else, I'll head back first."

Grandma smiled and replied, "Okay, then help me thank your father for the fruit." She turned to Song Xuan and said, "Good boy, go send your brother out."

When Xu Zhizhou heard this, he hurriedly refused. "It's okay, Grandma Song, I …"

But Song Xuan was already holding his arm. He blinked his big eyes and looked at him. "Brother, let's go. I'll send you out."

Xu Zhizhou: "…"

"Brother, when did you come over?"

"Was it when I was taking a nap?"

"I just came over yesterday. Why didn't you come to see me?

… "

After leaving the entryway, the little chatterbox next to him did not stop talking. Xu Zhizhou did not understand why she had so much to say.

Xu Zhizhou glanced at her expressionlessly. "Didn't you not remember me?

Why should I come to see you? "

When she heard this, Song Xuan shrunk her neck a little guiltily. Then she retorted self-righteously, "I was still young then!

How could I remember so clearly? "

She smiled flatteringly like a little lackey. "Also, Brother has become so good-looking now. That's why I couldn't recognize you."

Xu Zhizhou snorted coldly. It was over.

"Are you here for the holidays?"

Song Xuan nodded. "Yes, but the most important thing is to accompany Grandma. Mom said that Grandma's health is not good, so she wants me to take good care of her."

Xu Zhizhou asked playfully, "You'll take care of her?"

The little girl did not realize that her ability was being questioned. She was still bragging. "Yes, Mom and Dad said that I'm amazing. I can definitely take good care of Grandma!"

Xu Zhizhou looked at her proud little face and found it funny. "Okay, you're amazing." Then he said to her, "Okay, we're at the door. Let's go back!"

Song Xuan was a little reluctant. She reached out and grabbed the corner of Xu Zhizhou's shirt. "Brother, are you coming over tomorrow?" Without waiting for him to answer, she asked again, "Or can I go to your house?"

Xu Zhizhou wanted to refuse, but looking at the little girl's watery eyes, it seemed like she would cry if he did not agree. The words on the tip of his tongue took a turn and finally came out with two words.

"Sure."

After hearing this, the little girl's round cat eyes curved into little crescents. She smiled so widely that her milky teeth were exposed.

Xu Zhizhou looked at her. His fingers moved slightly, but in the end, he followed his heart.

He rubbed her hair, which was already like a bird's nest. Sure enough, it was soft, just like its owner.

The little girl was not unhappy that her hair was rubbed. Instead, she squinted her eyes like a little kitten that had been tamed. She said happily, "Brother, I'll go and find you tomorrow morning ~ ~"

"Okay."

After receiving his promise, Song Xuan obediently let go of Xu Zhizhou's shirt. Then she waved at Xu Zhizhou with a harmless expression. "Goodbye, Brother."

She turned around and ran away without any reluctance.

Xu Zhizhou watched as she skipped away. His gaze followed her back. He did not know when, but the corners of his mouth had curled up into a smile.

When he came back to his senses, he touched his face with his hand and was surprised by the number of times he had smiled today.

Song Xuan frowned as she ran into the house. It seemed like this young man was the target of her mission this time.

Xu Zhizhou came from a good family. He was naturally intelligent and had won countless awards and honors since he was young. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was favored by the heavens.

However, when he was in his third year of high school, his father's business partner owed a huge sum of money to the bank. The partner fled with the money, and the company's house was all mortgaged. His father accidentally got into a car accident while searching for the missing person.

Xu Zhizhou's mother had always been pampered by Xu Zhizhou's father. She lived in an ivory tower and had never worried about her livelihood.

Now that her husband had passed away, there was nothing she could do except grieve. Years of living like a princess had made her incompatible with the work of society.

No matter how mature and steady he usually was, Xu Zhizhou was still a minor at that time. His father had passed away, and his relatives and friends had turned against him. His mother could do nothing but cry.

Therefore, this young man used his thin and weak shoulders to carry the entire family on his shoulders.

He was busy with his studies in high school. He could only take out a small amount of time to work part-time to earn money. During that time, his life was very poor.

After persevering for a year, Xu Zhizhou was admitted to university. His family's life improved a little.

His mother found a stable job. Xu Zhizhou also began to prepare for his own career. Mother and son lived a stable life for a while.

However, just as everything was slowly improving, Mother Xu was suddenly diagnosed with stomach cancer. A huge amount of medical expenses fell on his shoulders.

He had no choice. Unintentionally, he learned about car racing, boxing … these kinds of sports that risked his life just to please certain people. He joined.

Fortunately, God was not so cruel to this person. No matter what, he survived.

One time, Xu Zhizhou was spotted by a talent scout. Out of consideration for money, Xu Zhizhou resolutely gave up his studies and plunged headlong into this cruel and realistic circle.

As a newcomer with no background and no one to rely on, no one knew what he had experienced. In short, by the time he was well known, he had already gone from a newcomer with nothing to a famous actor who had swept all the major awards at home and abroad.

However, God always played a joke on him. Just as he thought that everything was settled, a female celebrity he did not know suddenly confessed to him. After he rejected her, he suffered a series of retaliation.

It turned out that a rich second-generation heir had been chasing the female celebrity for a long time. The female celebrity had always rejected him, but then turned around and expressed her goodwill to Xu Zhizhou. The rich second-generation heir felt humiliated.

After that, the Internet was overwhelming. Drugs, unspoken rules, no matter whether it was true or false, were all thrown at Xu Zhizhou, leaving him with no way to avoid it.

Under these circumstances, Xu Zhizhou announced his retirement from the entertainment industry. However, because his fanatical fans were disappointed in him, their previous love turned into endless disgust. They wantonly vented their dissatisfaction on the Internet. At the press conference, they used the most vicious language to wantonly abuse Xu Zhizhou …

After that, no matter what happened in the entertainment industry, those people would compare Xu Zhizhou, saying how unbearable he was in the past. After telling so many lies, everyone felt that they were the truth.

When Xu Zhizhou's mother found out about all this, she thought that it was all because of her. Xu Zhizhou made these choices because of her, and she should not let her child suffer.

Therefore, her wish was that someone would reveal the truth. She also hoped that someone would accompany him and not let him suffer alone.

…

Song Xuan's grandmother's house and the Xu family's house were in the same villa area. The two families got along well. Her grandmother and grandfather only had one daughter, Song Xuan's mother, Song Hanqing.

She was a piano performer and was usually busy flying everywhere. Later, she married an Englishman, so she could not come back to see her parents often. Often, she would leave her son and daughter to accompany the two elders.

Therefore, Song Xuan and her brother practically grew up at her grandmother's house when they were young.

In the past, when they went out to play with other children, her grandmother would ask Xu Zhizhou to take care of her.

Although her brother was older than Xu Zhizhou by two years, Xu Zhizhou looked more reliable than him.

The little Xu Zhizhou's cold temperament had already begun to take shape. He was small and serious, perhaps because of his promise to his elders!

He was quite good to her, the little sister next door, and took good care of her in all aspects.

Song Xuan liked to stick to him.

Later, her mother became even busier. She and her brother could not take time out because of their studies and various other reasons. Therefore, it became her grandfather and grandmother who had time to go to England for a reunion.

Therefore, Song Xuan and Xu Zhizhou met less and less.

Ever since her grandfather passed away two years ago, her grandmother's health had been deteriorating day by day. Her mother had said many times that she wanted to bring her grandmother to England, but her grandmother had always been unwilling.

Therefore, this time, Song Xuan had been specially sent back by her mother in hopes that her grandmother would be willing to go with her for her sake.
