The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 414 - 3: First Encounter! Suisui and Young Huo Jinghan

At this age, it was a time of mischief, yet he carried an air of mature stability beyond his years.

Yu Rujin had really never seen many children like this.

Huo Jinghan paused in his steps to leave, nodded slightly to Old Madam Quan, and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Suisui stood behind Grandma, her little hand clutching at Yu Rujin’s coat and pants fabric, looking up at the handsome young boy standing before Grandma.

Suisui timidly gazed upward, secretly observing... observing that spirited young boy—

The moonlight was him, the night sky was also him, the free wind was him too, and under the starry sky, he could pluck the light with his bare hands. When the stars reflected in his eyes, the scattered light fell on the little girl hiding behind the elderly woman.

The boy was full of youthful spirit, his demeanor was bright and clear like the wind, yet his eyes seemed like overturned lanterns, filled with the brilliant glow of dusk, making people reluctant to look away.

Suisui was mesmerized.

Almost couldn’t take her eyes off him.

She thought to herself, this brother is really beautiful.

She wanted to go home and pester her mom to give her a brother as beautiful as this.

Exactly the same, then she could look at him every day.

Young Huo Jinghan noticed the little one behind the elder secretly watching him.

He lowered his gaze and also looked over.

As their eyes met, only for a brief moment, Suisui shrank her neck, reacting as if caught red-handed, and immediately hid her small face in Grandma’s clothes, murmuring, "Can’t see me, can’t see me, can’t see me~"

Young Huo Jinghan: "..."

After covering her face, after a while, Suisui sneaked open a gap between her fingers to continue peeking.

Caught again.

Suisui quickly covered her eyes again, continuing to mutter, "Can’t see me, can’t see me, can’t see me..."

Feeling it wasn’t enough to hide, she moved her head back, her small body completely hiding behind Grandma.

Young Huo Jinghan: "..."

The little one timidly hiding behind the adult, was she afraid of him?

He hadn’t been fierce to her, nor did he glare at her. She was afraid of him even though he hadn’t done anything threatening.

He wouldn’t eat people, what was there to fear?

Yu Rujin saw Suisui hiding behind her all the time, and after glancing at the young boy, she understood Suisui was afraid of this little brother. She chuckled and said, "It’s nothing else, mainly just to say thank you. If you hadn’t reacted quickly to steady our Suisui, our mischievous Suisui would definitely have been hurt from the fall."

Huo Jinghan shook his head, politely and modestly said, "Anyone’s instinctive reaction would be the same, I was just following my instincts, no need to thank."

The young boy spoke thoughtfully, each word respectfully, truly a little gentleman. Yu Rujin found herself quite fond of this little gentleman.

She bent down, holding Suisui’s hand, pulling her from behind to say to her, "This is your brother. If it weren’t for him reacting quickly to steady you, you would’ve fallen. Quickly say thank you to your brother."

Suisui pursed her lips tightly, her eyes wide, staring at the ’brother’ Grandma was talking about.

Suisui would always be timid with strangers, not fond of talking, and she was the same now.

Huo Jinghan watched the small bundle, lips pressed tightly, seeming afraid of him, and his brows slowly furrowed.

Did he really look so fierce?

Her aggrieved expression of being scared, almost about to cry, made him seem like a big monster.

He hadn’t said anything.

Did he accidentally squeeze her when he reached out to steady her?

Thinking it over and over, even Huo Jinghan could not determine if he had used force when steadying her.

This was the first time growing up that Huo Jinghan questioned his own judgment.

"You..." Huo Jinghan looked down at the wrinkled face of the little girl, articulating cautiously, unsure how best to follow up after hesitating, he slowly said, "You don’t have to call me brother, and you don’t have to say thank you. It was just a small gesture. Next time, run slower. If you fall, it won’t just hurt, um... you’d probably cry too."

In young Huo Jinghan’s mind, only girls would cry.

Such a tiny little one belonged to the type to cry easily, and he had heard that once they started crying, they were hard to console?
