Chapter 285 - Bringing Little Huarui Back Home
Chapter 285 Bringing Little Huarui Back Home
Xiao Bing hugged Liu Xiaorui and felt that his responsibility had grown and his burden, now heavier.
When Liu Xiaorui stopped crying, Xiao Bing held her shoulder and said, “Little Huarui, do you know why you met me in the parking lot that night?”
Liu Xiaorui shook her head and sobbed sadly.
“Because God led me to you on that day. God wanted you to know that even though your mother is not around anymore, there will still be another person in the world, who would protect you all his life. He will be together with you, until you grow up. Until the day when your hand is placed in the hands of another man.” Xiao Bing said emotionally, “Little Huarui, your mother will look at you every day from heaven, even though she is not with you. But she will not want to see you being so sad, every day.”
Liu Xiaorui asked, “Uncle, can my mother really see me?”
“Really.” Xiao Bing said with certainty, “And I will protect you from now on, and will not allow you to be sad every day.”
“But my mother is dead…”
What she said made everyone sad.
“Your mother is gone, but she is still watching over you from heaven.”
“Is there a heaven in this world?”
“Believe me, there is a heaven in this world.”
Liu Xiaorui looked at Xiao Bing, sighed and then nodded.
Xiao Bing said, “Well, I will help you with the discharge procedures. You wait here for me. Once I am done, I will take you out of the hospital.”
“All right.”
Xiao Bing walked out of the ward and went through the discharge procedures. At the same time, he went to visit Lil Bei and Miyamoto Shinji. The two of them had recovered quickly from their injuries, and could be discharged in a few days.
When he had felt the unfathomable strength of Xiao Bing at this moment, Lil Bei was just excited, but Miyamoto Shinji felt incredible. When he first saw Xiao Bing, he merely thought that Xiao Bing was a man with martial arts talent. Xiao Bing at that time did not count for anything in his eyes, but then Xiao Bing started the crazy promotion road. He could not have thought of it anyway, and could not understand Xiao Bing’s actions.
When Xiao Bing said that he had temporarily sealed the power, Miyamoto Shinji heaved a sigh of relief, but still felt that the world was too crazy. Xiao Bing was such a young man, who had broken through the virtual realm. Were there any opponents worthy of Xiao Bing?
When Xiao Bing returned to Liu Xiaorui’s ward, Liu Xiaorui had already put on her clothes and shoes. The quilt on the bed was also folded, and the sheets were tucked in neatly. It was hard to imagine that it was done by a six or seven-year-old girl, and even harder to imagine that a six- or seven-year-old girl was so sensible.
Xiao Bing did not say much, and smiled slightly, “Everything is done, let’s go.”
Xiao Bing held Liu Xiaorui’s hand and walked out of the ward, and asked, “Xiaorui, how old are you?”
“I am six years old.”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “That is the age for going to school. I will find a kindergarten for you in a few days, all right?”
The average local child started elementary school at the age of seven. Three to six years old was the age for going to kindergarten. There may be some differences in various parts of the country, but in general, the difference was not that great.
Liu Xiaorui remained silent. Xiao Bing knew that after what happened to her mother, Liu Xiaorui needed some rest first. He was about to change his mind and tell her that she could stay at home, when Liu Xiaorui suddenly said, “I will do what Uncle Xiao says.”
Liu Xiaorui had a kind of sensible quality about her. When Xiao Bing saw her for the first time, she seemed very mature for her age, which made people feel a little unsettled. After Xiao Bing took her home, he would accompany her and try to help her, so that she could overcome this psychological shadow.
Sitting in Xiao Bing’s car, Liu Xiaorui obediently fastened the seat belt. Xiao Bing asked her while driving, “Tonight, I will cook some delicious food for you. What do you like to eat?”
“Xiaorui is not a picky eater, and does not want to trouble Uncle. Whatever uncle cooks, Xiaorui will like it.”
Xiao Bing sighed, “Uncle will be with you for a long time, and you don’t need to hide your feelings. Just treat me as family, okay?”
“Well, I will.”
Xiao Bing knew that Liu Xiaorui had a good impression of him, but the number of contacts between them was limited. Coupled with Liu Xiaorui’s recent situation, it was impossible for her to revert to her original cheerful and lively self, so he did not insist. He smiled and said, “In this home, there are a lot of people. I don’t know if you are used to this kind of collective life. There are the beautiful aunts you met last time, there are other uncles and aunts, and there is a girl, who is a little older than you. Her name is Maggie and she is only seven years old, and she can accompany you to have fun.”
“Well… Little Huarui doesn’t need to be accompanied by others. Just having uncle with me is enough.”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Uncle will stay with you. Let’s go, the weather is so hot, and I will take you to the cold drink hall to have something.”
No matter what it was, Liu Xiaorui did not refuse or require anything. Basically, she did everything Xiao Bing wanted her to do. Xiao Bing found a parking space in Central Avenue. After stopping, he and Liu Xiaorui went to a cold drink hall. The waiter from the cold drink hall attended to Xiao Bing. The two of them sat down, and the waiter handed over the menu. Xiao Bing smiled and handed it to Liu Xiaorui. “Just order what you want to drink.”
“Whatever will be all right.”
“Just take a look, or I will be angry.”
Liu Xiaorui snorted and looked through the menu. Everything there was attractive to children. Even if Liu Xiaorui had not completely overcome her sadness, after turning over the menu, she could not help, but blink. Pointing at one of the cold drinks, she said, “Uncle, it will cost you a lot of money.”
Xiao Bing glanced and smiled, “It’s only a few tens of dollars. It’s not a big deal. Two of this, please.”
After the waiter took the drink list, Xiao Bing looked at Liu Xiaorui and smiled, “After drinking this, Uncle will bring you out to eat. In the afternoon, I will accompany you to buy some clothes, um… and others. Is there anything else?”
“Uncle… I want…”
“What do you want?” Xiao Bing asked curiously.
“I want to go home and on the way, pick something up.”
“Oh, no problem. After the meal, we will go, okay?”
“Thanks.” Liu Xiaorui agreed.
After finishing their cold drinks, Xiao Bing then found a noodle restaurant, ate two bowls of noodles, and immediately went to Liu Xiaoru’s home.
Liu Xiaorui lived in an ordinary residential building. She had the key with her. After opening the door and walking in, Xiao Bing immediately felt that Liu Xiaorui’s emotions were different. She seemed to be holding back her grief.
It was understandable. She was just a small girl. At this age, she should be playing happily every day, but she lost her parents at such a young age. She was even more pitiful than Su Xiaoxiao. At least, Su Xiaoxiao had a mother who was still alive, and Su Xiaoxiao was also older than her, and could stand on her own feet.
Inside the room was a photo of Liu Xiaorui’s parents. Xiao Bing followed Liu Xiaorui into her room. Liu Xiaorui picked up the picture, then sat on her bed and cried.
Xiao Bing sighed and walked over. He squatted on the ground and pulled Liu Xiaorui into his arms. The faces of the two people were almost stuck together. From the photo, one could tell that this was a happy and close knit family.
After crying, she suddenly jerked, “Uncle, I am looking for something.”
“Ok.”
This was Liu Xiaorui’s bedroom. According to her, she did not want to move anything from her parents’ room. She would often come back later. Xiao Bing was ready to satisfy her wish. After completing the adoption procedures, Xiao Bing would keep the house vacant, and whenever Liu Xiaorui wanted to come back and look, she could come back.
At first, Xiao Bing wanted to ask how Liu Xiaorui lost her father, but she was only six years old, and it was hard enough for her already. Xiao Bing did not want to make her sad again.
Liu Xiaorui took her school bag and put in her books. One of them was a notebook locked in the drawer. Liu Xiaorui said that she started writing in a diary when she was four years old. She had been writing for two years. At the beginning, every diary was just two sentences or three sentences, but now, each diary had over seventy to eighty words.
In addition, she also added a few clothes. She said that she did not want Xiao Bing to pay too much. Since there were still many clothes at home, she would not let Xiao Bing buy anything for her.
Xiao Bing thought that she may have considered herself a burden to Xiao Bing, so she did not want to add on any additional burden. The two of them had just gotten to know each other, naturally she would have such an idea. It would take a long time to change her thoughts.
After the big bag was full, Xiao Bing asked, “What else do you want to bring?”
“Nothing else. Let’s go.”
“Okay.” Xiao Bing thought for a moment and asked, “Would you like to go with me to do an adoption procedure? Well… or forget it, let’s wait till you got home first.”
“Oh.”
Xiao Bing knew that the little girl was precocious and added, “Don’t misunderstand. But my current status is a bit special. It is best for my girlfriend to accompany you to handle it… If you are willing to stay with us together forever.”
Liu Xiaorui said, “I have no other relatives. It was Uncle who helped my mother to get her revenge. It was Uncle who sent me to the hospital. I am willing to be with Uncle forever.”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Then wait for me to get back, and my girlfriend will accompany you, to go through the procedures. From now on, we are family. Remember, the word family is not easy to say. Even if you are not able to forget the parents who gave birth to you, but the days we will live together in the future, will be three times as many as you used to live with your parents. So, Uncle will always be nice to you, and you should stop hiding your feelings from your uncle, okay?”
“No problem.” Liu Xiaorui asked. “Uncle, can you… take me to the ice cream stall now?”
Xiao Bing laughed happily, “Well, let’s go. You are too small, and I will carry the things for you.”
Liu Xiaorui said, “The ice cream was Little Huarui’s favorite in the past…”
After eating the ice cream, Xiao Bing took Liu Xiaorui outside, and walked. When he saw the dark sky, Xiao Bing drove his car and brought Liu Xiaorui home. The first time Liu Xiaorui followed Xiao Bing back, she seemed to be somewhat nervous.
Driving to the entrance of Xiaofu, Xiao Bing stopped the car, and Liu Xiaorui got off. Liu Xiaorui looked at the big house and at the golden signboard, Xiaofu. She was still a child and she was curious. Xiao Bing took her hand and walked into Xiao Fu. The guards at the door and in the yard, respectfully greeted him, “Dear Mr. Xiao.”
Xiao Bing had told the people in the house that they could just call him Mr. Xiao or Brother Bing. Seeing so many people being so respectful to Xiao Bing, Liu Xiaorui’s eyes widened.
Before entering the room, Xiao Bing suddenly stopped, looked at the guards and said loudly, “From today, she is the Missy of Xiaofu.”
The guards shouted one by one, “Missy.”
Liu Xiaorui was as overwhelmed as a frightened bunny, but she gave a small nod, and then she was dragged into the hall by Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing entered the hall and said loudly, “Come out, see who I brought back.”
In a short time, Maggie, Zhan Hongyan, Dumbass, Li Chunlan, Su Xiaoxiao, and Yezi… all of them came out, one by one.
