Chapter 102

After his mother, the person who loved him most in this world, passed away, his personality became even more unsociable .

As Xu Wanli’s father, his grandfather, grew older, the more he missed the grandson who lived outside . Hence, on every new years day, he would send someone to invite the child to their family’s reunion dinner .

Even though Han Ruchu didn’t react, her attitude was always dismissive . As for his biological father, he never looked him straight in the eyes . When Xu Jiamu called “Dad”, he also tried to call him “Dad”, but Xu Wanli told him off and Han Ruchu screamed at him . From then on, he ruled out the word “Dad” from his life forever .

Compared to adults, children are the most innocent in the world . Xu Jiamu didn’t think that he and Lu Jinnian were any different . In fact, he quite liked his brother who was two hours older than him, and so he made the move to get closer to Lu Jinnian, calling him his brother . When Han Ruchu saw this, she told Xu Jiamu off, but once established, the bond between boys was difficult to break .

Then, Xu Wanli’s father, Lu Jinnian and Xu Jiamu’s grandfather passed away and Lu Jinnian never stepped foot in the Xu family’s home ever again . However, he crossed paths with Xu Jiamu a lot more .

That was when Lu Jinnian learned about Qiao Anhao .

The three of them, Qiao Anxia, Xu Jiamu, and Lu Jinnian, were of the same age . Qiao Anhao was younger than them by two years . To allow the two sisters to go to school together, the Qiao family had forced Qiao Anhao to skip two years in elementary school .

The Xu family and Qiao family didn’t live too far away . On many occasions, Xu Jiamu, Qiao Anxia, and Qiao Anhao would go home together after school . During junior high, Xu Jiamu and Lu Jinnian liked to go play football in the field after school . Qiao Anxia would usually stand by the field screaming for Xu Jiamu to go home .

They were only in junior high at the time, but Qiao Anhao and Qiao Anxia were already quite popular with the guys . In private, people called them “Da Qiao” and “Xiao Qiao” .

“Da Qiao”, since Qiao Anxia’s personality was very fiery and outspoken, whereas Qiao Anhao was comparatively quiet and peaceful . The two sisters were considered pretty . Qiao Anhao was naturally more beautiful, but Qiao Anxia’s personality drew people’s attention . And so, every time Qiao Anxia screamed for Xu Jiamu to go home, people would whistle and scream “Da Qiao” .

Qiao Anxia would arrive at the field with Qiao Anhao alongside . Though everyone was whistling and screaming at her, Qiao Anxia never blushed . Yet, Qiao Anhao, who stood behind her, would always secretly blush .

When he first noticed it, Lu Jinnian had the ball in his arm . In his heart, he couldn’t help but chuckle and silently make fun of her – they’re screaming Da Qiao, so why are you, Xiao Qiao, blushing so hard?

But at that time, he never asked himself what Xiao Qiao’s blushing face had to do with him .
