"Hey, do you know big brother Rong Yu?" The wyrm was curious.
Su Yi's throat felt a bit sore.
Not only did they know each other.
Rong Yu was also an orphan who grew up in the Cixin orphanage.
What was different from her was that she had only lived there for half a year at the age of fifteen.
Rong Yu, who was still a baby, was abandoned at the gate of the orphanage, leaving only a note with his name on it. He had been growing up in the orphanage.
When she first entered the orphanage, Su Xiaoxiao was still immersed in the sorrow of her father's death and kept crying every day.
Because she was too lonely and only entered the orphanage later, she was often isolated and bullied by other children in the orphanage.
In the end, she simply shut herself in the room and did not speak or go out to play.
Until one day, a young man came to her side, missing her father and crying silently. He handed her a painting and said, "Is it like you?"
The young man was just as good-looking as Su Xiao, who was only a freshman.
The girl in the painting was vivid and lifelike. It was Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao was just smiling. Her long hair was fluttering in the wind, and she was wearing a dress. Her smile was as beautiful as a flower, making people's hearts flutter.
"Xiaoxiao, is this the name your parents gave you? I think they must want you to laugh happily every day." The young man's voice was like a spring water hitting a stone, with the charm of the early stage of development, and calm and self-restraint.
At the age of fifteen, Su Xiaoxiao hugged her knees and looked at the handsome young man in front of her, who was as handsome as a god. Her tears suddenly condensed on her eyelashes.
Later, she learned that Rong Yu was telling her in this way that it was better to laugh than to cry.
No matter how difficult the path was, he had to smile.
Slowly, Su Xiaoxiao no longer wrapped herself in the shell. She became cheerful and was willing to communicate with the children in the orphanage.
When she played one day, a little fat man who was one year younger than Su Xiaoxiao in the orphanage snatched Su Xiaoxiao's necklace, which was a 10-year-old gift from her father.
Su Xiaoxiao chased after the little fatty. She was so tired that she was panting. She was so anxious that she was crying. However, she saw that the little fatty was thrown onto the ground by a figure.
The figure sat on the little fatty, and without saying a word, he punched and punched, not listening to the little fatty's begging for mercy at all.
Su Xiaoxiao was immediately stunned. She never thought that the usually gentle and silent Rong Yu would actually be so fierce.
It was not until the auntie of the orphanage was alarmed that she rushed over to separate the two of them.
After that, Rong Yu was locked up in a room. After he came out, the first thing he did was to forcefully hold Su Xiaoxiao's hand and announce in front of all the children in the orphanage,
"Whoever dares to bully her will be against me."
From then on, Rong Yu became the guardian of her life in the orphanage for half a year.
He helped her go through the most difficult period of her life after losing her father and smoothed out the sadness of her life.
When she was adopted by her eldest uncle, she was most reluctant to part with Rong Yu.
On the day she left the orphanage, she cried bitterly, but Rong Yu gently rubbed her head and said, "Fool, it's not like we can't see each other again."
A year later, she went back to the orphanage, but she didn't see Rong Yu.
The old director of the orphanage said that after Rong Yu left the orphanage, he didn't leave any contact information. He only occasionally sent some money to support the orphans to the orphanage.
Later, every time Su Xiaoxiao worked as a volunteer, she would hold the hope of seeing Rong Yu again.
Unfortunately, he could no longer see that youth who had accompanied him through difficult times.
She didn't expect to meet him again today.
However, the thin young man in her memory had grown into a tall, slender, and handsome man.
Su Xiaoxiao felt that this was the only gift the heavens would give her during this period of gray days.
...
Half an hour later.
After drawing the child's portrait, Rong Yu walked out of the drawing room with Su Xiaoxiao and sat down in the corridor of the yard.
"Brother Rongyu, why did you leave the orphanage so quietly a few years ago?" Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel emotional.
"The director should have told you that I was already 18 years old at that time, so it was not suitable for me to live in an orphanage." Rong Yu's tone was as gentle as ever.
"Then why didn't you tell me? You have my contact information, why didn't you contact me?"
There was a hint of imperceptible luster in Rong Yu's calm eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He said in a soft tone, "I accidentally lost your contact information when I moved. I was too busy with work, so I didn't have time to go back to the orphanage. I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao."
The joy of their reunion did not cause Su Xiaoxiao to think too much. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "It doesn't matter."
"Silly girl, why are you crying? Why are you still acting like you were when you were young? The wyrm and the others will laugh at you if they see you." Rong Yu raised his finger and wiped away her tears like he had when he was young.
The man's warm fingers touched her skin, and there was a thin cocoon on the belly of his fingers that had been ground with a brush for many years. The temperature was like tiny sparks, making her cheeks heat up, and she immediately restrained her thoughts.
What was she thinking?
When she was a child in an orphanage, Brother Rongyu often comforted her in this way, even holding her in his arms to comfort her.
However, her brother and she had grown up. After all, they were no longer children.
When Rong Yu saw that her face was flushed, he realized that his actions were a little too much. His fingers slipped down.
In order to cover up the awkward atmosphere, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly changed the subject. "Oh, by the way, where are you working now? What are you doing?"
"To do game development in J.K."
"K.K.K. Group?"
Su Xiaoxiao had heard of this company. It seemed to be a rising star in the game company. It had only been established for a few years, but it had been launched several times on the market. It was very popular. It was said that there was at least one game app under the JK on the mobile phone of the city's citizens, and there was still a JK game on her mobile phone.
Rong Yu's talent for art was very high. In the past, he could draw four comics with just a few strokes, and the design of the game was also in line with his standards.
However, he didn't expect that the most popular games at the moment might all be played by his men.
"Brother Rongyu is working as a game designer at the J.K. Group?" Su Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised.
Rong Yu smiled faintly and didn't correct him. "Well, that's right."
The game master was a promising star in the Chaoyang industry. Seeing that brother Rong Yu's career was good now, Su Xiaoxiao was also very gratified. She couldn't help but smile a little and asked tentatively, "Then, have you found your biological parents?"
Rong Yu had always been as calm as water, but she knew that this matter had always been a knot in his heart.
Rong Yu was the most intelligent and beautiful child in the orphanage. When he was very young, people came to him one after another to adopt him. Among them, there were many poor couples from rich families.
But he refused every time.
The children in the orphanage were adopted one by one, and in the end, only he became an elder of the orphanage.
The only reason why he did not want to leave was that he hoped that one day, his biological parents, who had abandoned him, would come back to him.
He knew that if he was adopted, his biological parents might never find him again.
Therefore, he would rather live in an orphanage.
Rong Yu's face twitched slightly. His thick eyelashes fluttered, and a shadow fell from under his eyelids. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "I haven't found it."
