My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Little Crybaby!-Chapter 27 Tsk, you really are a good brother!
The five-year-old girl was at an age where she half understood things and half did not.
Lin Wan told her that mommy and daddy had gone to a very, very far place and it would be a very, very long time before they came back to see her.
At first, the little girl kept asking questions, but after the funeral, she stopped asking altogether.
Lin Wan was worried and unsure if the little girl understood what death meant.
Luckily, she didn’t resist living with the Xu Family, but she just became clingier to Xu Jiayan.
Sometimes she would wake up in the middle of the night and run to Xu Jiayan’s room with her little pillow.
Initially, Xu Jiayan would send her back to her room with a dark expression. The little girl would cling to the headboard of the bed and refuse to leave, or she would sneak back to his room when Xu Jiayan fell asleep.
Gradually, as it happened more often, Xu Jiayan became too lazy to make a fuss and would pretend not to see her when she sneaked in.
He would even tuck her in after she fell asleep.
Lin Wan couldn’t help but notice what was happening between the little girl and her eldest son.
However, since both were young, there wasn’t much to worry about something happening, and she was more than happy to see her lousy boy get closer to the little girl, so she turned a blind eye.
Young Master Xu stumbled upon the little girl getting up from his brother’s bed several times in the morning, accusing them of playing games together at night without him and clamoring to sleep with them.
At night, he would imitate the little girl, bringing a pillow and running over, but his brother would unhesitatingly toss both him and the pillow out.
From then on, he was convinced his brother played favorites.
Yuan Gun Gun was his own flesh and blood; he must have been the one picked up by the family.
After the funeral, Lin Wan took care of the adoption and transfer of school for the little girl.
Little Jiang Yuan was only a few months apart in age from Xu Jinyan, so Lin Wan used her connections to have them both placed in the same class.
Xu Xiao’er was quite happy at first, dragging her around to introduce his friends to her.
He even promised to look out for her at school and not let anyone bully her.
However, as happy as he was at the beginning, he would come to regret it just as much later on.
From innocence to worldly wisdom, lessons of blood and tears are always unavoidable.

"Ah Yan, we have less homework today, why not go kick ball later?" Xu Fang returned from the office and seeing Xu Jiayan had almost finished packing, hurriedly gathered his own things while proposing the idea.
"No." Xu Jiayan put the last book into his backpack and headed outside.
"Wait for me!"
Xu Fang shoved the remaining books into his bag without checking and hurriedly zipped up the bag. Throwing it over his shoulder, he quickly caught up.
"Why such a hurry? Don’t tell me you have a date with some girl? Is it Xu Qingqing from the class next door? I saw her slipping a little note into your desk at lunch."
"Don’t talk nonsense, I’m going to pick up my little brother from school." Xu Jiayan frowned slightly, displeased with the other party linking him with someone else.
Knowing Xu Jiayan’s temperament, Xu Fang said it casually, but seeing him get annoyed, he immediately stopped and said, "The kindergarten isn’t that far from your house, right? Can’t he just go home by himself?"
He remembered when he attended kindergarten, he always went by himself and never needed to be picked up. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Xu Jiayan’s brow remained furrowed, not speaking.
If it were just Xu Xiao’er alone, it would be one thing, but now there was also a little crybaby to consider.
If he didn’t go to pick them up, that kid could sit at the classroom door and wait until it got dark.
"Tsk, tsk, you really are a good brother!" Xu Fang exclaimed while following behind.
It’s a pity he was an only child; his mother had only him, so he couldn’t appreciate this kind of sibling affection.
