He also agreed to her unreasonable request and accompanied her all night without sleep, just because she was afraid of being alone.
When she was sick, he patiently fed her porridge. He also thoughtfully stayed up overnight just so he could help her solve all the math problems she didn’t know how to do. He even wrote down pages of step by step instructions to each solution of the problem.
He even warmed her ears by cupping them with his hands, preventing the cold winter wind from freezing her ears over.
It was needless to say, but he was the one and only person who had given her such warmth in the two lives she lived.
So, if she was the little match girl, then she would not see roasted ducks or a Christmas tree when she lit up a match, instead, she would see him.
He was her only warmth, her only fire, in the frigid and barren winter.
“Not good.”
Huo Yusen replied lightly after he heard what she said.
Huo Wu had blurted out her thoughts by accident. The story of the little match girl had left a deep impression on her because she could genuinely relate to the match selling girl’s situation. When she suddenly recalled the story just now, her brain didn’t even stop to think about it before she blurted it out.
Even so, she didn’t think what she said was a big deal, but she didn’t expect that Huo Yusen would directly tell her that it was ‘not good’.
Huo Wu blinked her eyes and asked in a curious tone, “Why is it not good?”
Could it be that Huo Yusen didn’t want her to see him when she lit up a match?
By now, the two of them had almost reached the Huo Family villa. Once they enter the villa, there will be warmth and hot water. They will be able to dispel the cold from their body.
Huo Yusen suddenly halted his steps.
Huo Wu could only stop walking too.
Huo Yusen looked down at Huo Wu and explained, “Because the story of the little match girl has a bad moral.”
The story had a bad moral.
Indeed.
Although the little girl managed to see visions that made her feel warm in her last moments of life, the warmth she saw were all fake. In addition, she did not have a good ending because she froze to death.
Christmas Eve was a day for families to reunite with each other over a nice warm meal. The little girl dreamed of beautiful visions in her heart, but she could only die tragically alone on the street during Christmas Eve.
Huo Wu subconsciously sniffled her nose when she recalled this story.
In fact, she and the original Huo Wu both had a tragic ending.
Because she entered the entertainment industry, she was struggling with her life. She could only afford to rent a small cold apartment in the city. Because the apartment was cold, her health deteriorated even though she was still young. After she entered the entertainment circle, she died at 24 years old because of an accident with the wires. The original Huo Wu’s life was even more miserable than hers. Huo Wu was trafficked by a trafficker and sold to a poor remote area. The original Huo Wu fell from heaven to hell. She married a fool and died of depression.
They both died young.
Huo Wu sniffled her nose again.
At this moment, she didn’t know what to say.
But Huo Yusen didn’t need her to say anything.
He stared directly into her eyes and sincerely said, “You are my sister, and I guarantee that you will never become the little match girl who sells matches for a living. As long as I am with you, you will not live a difficult life.”
Was that a promise?
It was a promise, right?
It must be a promise.
It seemed like the first snowfall of the winter had really brought her luck.
Her brother not only wanted to spend Christmas with her, but he even promised her that she will have a bright future.
