Chapter 223 (2/2)

Since there was company on the road, there was a topic. Ye Wuchen looked at the girl's red face and asked, ”what's your name?”

”My name is Huo Yuzhi.” the girl raised her eyes and asked back, ”what about you, brother?”

”Ye Wuchen.” ye Wuchen smiled.

Knowing ye Wuchen's name, Huo Yuzhi lowered his eyes and said cautiously after a while:

”Brother ye... Can I call you that?”

”Yes.” hearing Huo Yuzhi calling his brother ye Wuchen, he thought of nine familiar with them, and couldn't help worrying.

For such a long time, I don't know how they are now. Has Qin Feng taken good care of them.

”Brother ye, you are a good man.” after getting ye Wuchen's consent, the girl looked a little more relaxed and said, ”no one has ever helped me before.”

”You remind me of my sister nine masters.” looking at Huo Yuzhi's eyes, ye Wuchen said with a gentle smile, ”she looks almost as old as you. She is eleven years old this year.”

”I'm eleven years old this year.” attracted by Ye Wuchen's gentle eyes, Huo Yuzhi suddenly envied the girl named Jiugan.

Mingming is as old as her, but she has such a good brother to take care of, unlike she has always been alone.

”Really?” I don't know what Huo Yuzhi is thinking. Ye Wuchen looks surprised. ”I thought you were only eight or nine years old.”

”Maybe it's malnutrition.” Huo Yuzhi smiled and said very pitiful words, but with a kind of stubbornness and more distressing.

I couldn't help reaching out and touching Huo Yuzhi's head. When he saw Huo Yuzhi looking at him, he took back his hand, ”I'm sorry, but I hope you can refuel. As long as we can live, we will get out of this life.”

When the warm hand on her head moved away, Huo Yuzhi only felt tight in her heart. She subconsciously held ye Wuchen's hand and soon carried it behind her.

”Why do you want to apologize?” ye Wuchen was stunned. ”I should be abrupt.”

”No.” Huo Yuzhi shook his head, his head drooping low, almost buried in her not thick collar.

They didn't talk again all the way, and the atmosphere between them was a little awkward.

The trading area is not crowded with people, but the environment is very noisy.

Just then Huo Yuzhi suddenly stopped and pulled ye Wuchen's arm with both hands.

”What's the matter?” ye Wuchen stopped and asked.

Huo Yuzhi pursed her lips without making a sound. When ye Wuchen planned to ask again, she stammered, ”can you, can you touch my head again?”

Unexpectedly, she would make such a request. Ye Wuchen was stunned and smiled. He reached out and gently touched Huo Yuzhi's dirty head, and there was no dislike in the bottom of his eyes.

”Is that so?” he asked with a smile.
