856 Long time no see, my friends (1/2)

”Are you sure?” Su Hao looked at this weak little girl in front of him.

After confirming his identity, he thought that this little girl would ask him to help her to be together with Lan Tingxu. After all, for the current Su Hao, grade S talent or whatever isn't an issue. However, never would he have imagined that this little girl would take the initiative to leave Lan Tingxu instead!

”En.” Xiao Wen nodded seriously.

”Why?” Su Hao looked at her in interest.

”I don't want to be a vase.” Xiao Wen said in a firm resolution, ”I can ask anyone. I can put down my self-esteem in front of anyone, but when it involves him, I want to stand with him equally. I can feel that Big Uncle is suffering. I don't want to be his burden, but protect him instead!”

”Protect him?” Su Hao was speechless.

This little girl's tone sounded ridiculous, but Su Hao could feel her resolution. With a different world view, one sees things differently. In the eyes of others, this matter was ridiculous, but this little girl was earnest because it was something that she wants to protect.

Seems that this little girl really likes Uncle Lan?

”Are you confident?” Su Hao looked at her in interest.

”I am!” Xiao Wen nodded firmly.

”Then, for the remaining part...”Su Hao's eyes flashed with a smile, ”Just leave it to me.”

Jingdong City.

Lan Tingxu, who was looking for Xiao Wen, suddenly received news from Su Hao, ”Uncle Lan, I killed a little brat with a grade S talent in Jingdong City. Do you want to come here and deal with it?”

”Grade S? Jingdong City?” Lan Tingxu experienced a deep shock.

With his space force immediately activated, he rushed to the location given by Su Hao. However, when he reached that location, he saw Su Hao and Xiao Wen standing there, waiting for him. Xiao Wen didn't hide from him. Her eyes were showing a look which he had never seen before. She stood together with Su Hao, like a pair of ideal couples.

Under the setting sun...

Lan Tingxu discovered for the first time that this little girl whom he had been chasing for a long time turned out to be this charming. Su Hao, who was standing beside her, even looked more handsome than before. For the first time ever, Lan Tingxu felt that Su Hao was so handsome that he loathed.

Inexplicably, Lan Tingxu was a little irritated.

What was this feeling he is experiencing now?

Lan Tingxu quickly calmed down the restlessness in his heart.

”Come with me!” Lan Tingxu looked at Xiao Wen coldly.

He didn't wish to see Su Hao. Since Li Tiantian and Xiao Die died, he no longer wished to meet Su Hao. Although he knew that it had nothing to do with Su Hao, each time he saw Su Hao, he would recall that day, that pain. This was why he had been avoiding Su Hao.

”Big Uncle, I don't want to.” Xiao Wen stuck out her tongue, ”Brother Su will protect me, hmpphh.”

”Brother Su...” Lan Tingxu felt a bit sad. In fact, he didn't understand why he had such a feeling. Subconsciously, he looked at Su Hao.

”Sorry to call you here with such a method.” Su Hao continued in an apologetic tone, ”I quite like this little girl, and plan to bring her back to the Su family. By doing so, she can be protected better. I am just here to inform you about this.”

”She's a grade S talent esper. I need to bring her away.” Lan Tingxu coldly looked at Su Hao.

”I have a method to turn her back to normal.” Su Hao said indifferently, ”Uncle Lan, you should be aware that since I dare to show myself, I won't let you take her away. Instead of her turning into an ordinary person to struggle in this chaotic era, why not let her live peacefully in the Su family?”

Lan Tingxu went silent for a long time.

”I believe you. Please take good care of her.” Lan Tingxu looked at Su Hao's eyes sincerely, ”I don't want Xiao Die's tragedy to happen to her.”

”Alright!” Su Hao firmly replied.

”Then I can rest assured.” Lan Tingxu turned around and left. Uncle Lan is indeed Uncle Lan, as calm as always. However, through synchronous space, Su Hao could detect Lan Tingxu's violent internal fluctuation. After all, he still had some feeling toward this little girl.

”Shouldn't I be happy instead?” Lan Tingxu's heart was a little stuffy.

This was an experience that had never happened with Xiao Die before. Xiao Wen looked like his daughter in his eyes. He liked her and had been taking care of this silly girl silently as if she's his own daughter. He also wished for her to have a better life, and now, Xiao Wen had left with Su Hao...

With Su Hao's strength, with the Su family's situation, Xiao Wen's life would be countless times better than now.

But...

Why was it so painful?

He still remembered before this, he was extremely confident that he had a daughter-father like relationship with Xiao Wen, but how did it develop to such a stage?

It's really...

Extremely painful.

Lan Tingxu touched his empty chest and left with a calm face. Su Hao and Xiao Wen just looked at him like that. Xiao Wen wished to reach out several times but eventually remained still in silence.

”Uncle Lan, he treats me like a daughter?” Xiao Wen was a little sad.

”It might be, it might not be.” Su Hao's eyes narrowed, ”No matter what strength he has, Uncle Lan is no ordinary person. I promised you a future, but do you have the confidence to stand in front of him? The confidence to erase the shadow within his heart so that he could live on happily? Uncle Lan's heart hurts even more than what we can imagine.”

”I do!” Xiao Wen restored her confidence!

Squeezing her fists tightly, her face shone with a strange light. Lan Tingxu most likely didn't know that Xiao Wen was so different today because of him. He would have never thought that when there would be such a day when he was supposed to spend his life alone.

A young girl.

Walking along the alley under the rainy night, opening an umbrella for him to cover against the wind and rain.

Xiao Wen went back.
