Ye Sang waved the transparent umbrella in her arms and tilted her head to the side, “What about brodda then?”
It was raining outside.
The little boy glanced at her, displaying no expressions on his delicate face,
“I’ll wait here.”
Meaning: come back and return it to me.
He didn’t plan to use the umbrella anyway; having one or not was the same to him.
The Shen family wasn’t a soft-hearted one.
Same as that man.
The little thing pondered for a while but still couldn’t rest at ease. She pulled his sleeve and urged earnestly, “Brodda, don’t go running around.”
“Sangsang will be back very soon.”
The little boy fixed his dark eyes on her, eventually agreeing in a soft voice.
Yan’an didn’t want to talk to this silly little girl at first.
But he realized that if he ignored her, the girl would nag him forever.
Finally, Ye Sang left whilst looking back at every step.
The way that she looked felt like they were parting from death or something.

Yan’an watched the little girl running into the curtains of rain clumsily in silence for a while.
He blinked and for the first time in his life, he understood what people meant when they felt jealous.
He wondered, who’s the brother this little girl had to give up on everything to go look for?
But as he thought about it, one thing was for certain; someone who could be with the little girl definitely wouldn’t be as dark as him.
The boy sneered and hid all the bitterness in his eyes.
He thought he was going crazy.
He was jealous of a stranger because of a little girl.
Shen Yan’an looked down at the lollipop in his hands. He unwrapped it and put it in his mouth, and the sweetness of strawberries immediately burst on his tongue.
The boy picked up his bag from the floor and walked into the curtains of rain.
So…
This is what it tasted like. Candies that all children liked.

The little thing went around in circles in the sports field downstairs with her thoughts wandering as she stressed about returning the umbrella back to Yan’an.
She was naturally born without a sense of direction.
She had the puppy to show her the way around before, but dogs weren’t allowed in the school and she couldn’t find her way out from the huge sports field after going around for a long time.
The little thing panicked as she circled around it.
She clenched the umbrella helplessly. She was standing in the rain with a transparent umbrella over her head and she was short, her confused look made her look like…
Ahem. A mushroom.
Ye Sang looked around her and tried to find someone to help her find the way.
“Tsk, what kind of bloody weather is this?”
“We didn’t get to have a sports class and now we are drench, how unfortunate.”
“…” A boy and a girl’s voice came from a short distance from Ye Sang.
The little thing’s cat eyes lit up and just as she was going to run towards him, she heard their voices again in the rain.
“When the teacher told me to pack up the sports equipment, he told Huo Chenyu to go with me.”
“And guess what happened?” The boy lowered his voice and laughed mysteriously, making the other one curious.
“What happened?” She quickly asked.
The boy sneered, “I locked him inside the equipment room. It’s so late, how about we let him spend the night there?”
As he spoke, he waved the key in hand, sounding extremely pleased with himself.
Ye Sang clenched the umbrella tightly. When she heard “I locked him inside the equipment room”, the strand of hair on top of her head immediately shot up in fury.
