Chapter 310 Because I Want to (1/2)

Chapter 310 Because I Want

In the morning, a new day begins, the sun shines through the windows at the southern corner of Black Silver City. This is also the only time in a day that Xiao Yan can feel the sun in the house he rents.

"Haa~~~"

After the routine morning wash, Xiao Yan yawned and went downstairs. He came to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, but saw Xiao Yixian busy at the stove.

"Xiao Yixian, good morning."

Xiao Yan smiled and greeted Xiao Yixian, who turned her head slightly to glance at him.

"Good morning." Xiao Yixian looked at the big pot in front of her again and said softly: "Breakfast is almost ready, go and wake everyone up for breakfast."

"Yeah."

Xiao Yan turned and went upstairs again. He happened to meet Feng Qing'er who was coming downstairs and greeted her softly.

"Feng Qing'er, good morning."

"Yeah."

Feng Qing'er hummed softly, and Xiao Yan asked with a chuckle.

"How is the room? Are you used to sleeping here?"

"It's good, at least it's much better than sleeping on the floor."

Feng Qing'er said this, referring to the hotel that didn't even have a bed the day before yesterday. Xiao Yan smiled and gently moved aside to make way.

"Go down first, breakfast is almost ready, I'll go wake the kids up."

Feng Qing'er nodded, walked past Xiao Yan and went to the first floor. Xiao Yan first went up to the third floor to wake up Lu Qiong and Lu Jing. Seeing them rubbing their sleepy eyes, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile.

It seems that they slept very well~

This is of course. Before, the bed in this room was just padded with some rags, and they basically slept on the hard bed board, without even pillows and quilts. The bedding and beds that Xiao Yan bought yesterday greatly improved the sleep quality of the two children.

As for the gold coins on the table in Lu Qiong and Lu Jing's room, Xiao Yixian collected them after they agreed. After all, there were more than 30 bags of gold coins. Not only did they take up space on the table, but they also made people feel quite unsafe.

Xiao Yan gently pushed Lu Qiong and Lu Jing to the compartment to wash up. After washing up, he took them downstairs and went to the room of Wen Xing and Liu Yiyi.

Xiao Yan gently pushed the door open and found that the two had already gotten up and put on their clothes.

Wen Xing was instinctively startled when he saw the door suddenly opened, and then he relaxed. Liu Yiyi hid behind Wen Xing in fear.

After all, Liu Yiyi had been in a coma yesterday and knew nothing from beginning to end. Xiao Yan was just a stranger to her for the first time, so it was normal to feel scared.

"Yiyi, don't be afraid. This is the big brother who helped us yesterday. Say thank you."

Wen Xing slightly turned sideways and comforted his sister softly. Liu Yiyi timidly poked her head out from behind Xiao Yan and nodded gently.

"Thank you, thank you, big brother"

After saying that, Liu Yiyi hid behind Wen Xing again like a frightened rabbit, which made Xiao Yan suddenly think of the scene when he first met Qing Lin in his mind. At that time, Qing Lin was as shy as Liu Yiyi.

But compared with Liu Yiyi, Qing Lin had Xiao Jing's care, so Qing Lin was much luckier.

But, well

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Wen Xing, his eyes full of tenderness.

Even though their strength and status were far apart, the sense of security that Wen Xing gave to Liu Yiyi was almost the same as the sense of security that Xiao Jing gave to Qing Lin.

Xiao Yan smiled softly and waved to the two of them.

"Let's go, wash your face, and have breakfast~"

Seeing that Wen Xing wanted to say something, Xiao Yan spoke before he could open his mouth.

"Even if you feel embarrassed, your sister hasn't eaten all night, and she must be very hungry now, right?"

Xiao Yan's words made Wen Xing swallow his words back into his stomach.

He could not eat, but he could not let his sister go hungry just to maintain his little dignity. This was unacceptable to Wen Xing.

Whether it was Liu Yiyi or other brothers and sisters, they were far more important to Wen Xing than his own life, not to mention the almost useless dignity.

Xiao Yan led the two to wash up, took the four children downstairs, and led the children to the living room.

Feng Qing'er and Xiao Yixian were already waiting at the table, and the table was already filled with white porridge that matched the number of people.

At this time, Xiao Yan discovered a problem.

The table was a little, small.

This table could only seat six people at most, but now it was seven.

(Let's change a table later.)

Xiao Yan pressed his neck. He didn't mind eating standing up, but there would be other children coming in the future, so there would definitely not be enough tables.

"Xiao Yiyi, how do you feel?"

Seeing Xiao Yixian looking at Liu Yiyi and asking with concern, Liu Yiyi was inexplicably not afraid of the big sister in front of her, so she nodded gently and whispered.

"Well, it's okay. Thank you, big sister."

"Really? That's good." Xiao Yixian felt a little relieved. She clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Let's have breakfast. Be careful of the heat~"

Then Xiao Yixian looked at Xiao Yan standing at the table and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Xiao Yan, a chair"

"It's okay. I can eat standing up." Xiao Yan smiled and said, "I'll change the table and buy a few more chairs later."

When Wen Xing heard the conversation between the two, he also realized that there were not enough chairs. He wanted to jump down immediately after sitting down.

Xiao Yan had given him too much.

Yesterday, he helped me a lot, gave me 30,000 yuan for nothing, and helped his sister treat her illness and let the two of them stay overnight. As a result, now he has no place to sit and eat because of the arrival of me and my sister.

However, before he could make any move, Xiao Yan, who had noticed it, pressed his shoulder and said softly.

"Don't worry, I'm not that weak, just eat your meal."

"."

Wen Xing looked at Xiao Yan standing at the table and drinking porridge with a bowl. After a long silence, he also ate breakfast like everyone else.

Although it was just white porridge, it was a pretty good breakfast. Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian and Feng Qing'er were all cultivators. They cared too much about how rich the food was. What's more, this was breakfast, as long as it was edible.

Not to mention the remaining two pairs of brothers and sisters, Wen Xing and Lu Qiong. For these wild children who had no food to eat, white porridge was really a very luxurious food, and naturally they would not be picky at all.

After dinner, Xiao Yixian got up to clean the table, while Wen Xing pulled his sister off the chair and came to Xiao Yan and bowed his head.

"Thank you very much for your help, and the three gold coins yesterday, I will find a way to return them to you."

Wen Xing said this, and Liu Yiyi beside him also imitated her brother and bowed her head timidly.

Xiao Yan looked at Wen Xing who bowed his head to him, and after a long time, he squatted slightly and looked at him straight.

"Are you going to take your sister back?"

"Yes, there are brothers and sisters waiting at home. If you don't go back quickly, they will be worried."

Wen Xing nodded, Xiao Yan paused, and said softly.

"Do you want to stay here with your sister?"

"Uh?!"

Xiao Yan's words made Wen Xing's shoulders tremble slightly.

It is impossible to say that he doesn't want to stay here.

Apart from other things, the house that shelters from the wind and rain, the bedding that protects against the wind and cold, and the white porridge that they can't eat on weekdays, in just less than half a day, Wen Xing and his sister enjoyed a life that was unimaginable before.

Even though this is just the life of a normal family, it is already very luxurious for these children.

However, even though Wen Xing was so tempted, he still made up his mind and shook his head.

"No, I still have younger brothers and sisters to take care of."

Wen Xing really wanted to live in this place, and after what happened yesterday, even if it was just for one day, he didn't think Xiao Yan was the kind of person who had plans for them, at least he wouldn't hurt them.

But because of this, Wen Xing really couldn't accept it with peace of mind.

Yesterday was really, there was no other way.

What's more, if he and his sister live here, what about the other brothers and sisters he adopted?

He enjoys a comfortable life here, but they are still living a miserable life.

Wen Xing really can't do this.

Once he does this, then his life now is really meaningless.

It's better to be burned to death with his big brother and brothers and sisters.

Wen Xing has already survived once, and he doesn't want to survive a second time.

Hearing Wen Xing's answer and seeing the expression on Wen Xing's face, Xiao Yan seemed to have guessed something.

His heart could not help but feel heavy. Wen Xing seemed to be the same kind of person as himself.

He seemed to be thinking about his brothers and sisters wholeheartedly, and that was indeed the case.

But this was just a means for him to achieve his goal.

His real purpose should be just to escape, to escape from the cowardly self at the time.

And to atone for the cowardly self he once was.

But Xiao Yan wanted to tell Wen Xing.

His cowardice at the time was not his fault.

The person who was wrong was definitely not him.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, looked at Wen Xing and continued.

"Because you still have to take care of your brothers and sisters, you can't stay, right?"

"Yes."

Wen Xing nodded solemnly, without any hesitation in his eyes.

But the next moment, Xiao Yan's words made him stand there in a daze.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and spoke slowly.

"Then, as long as you take your brothers and sisters here to take care of them together, everything will be fine, right?"

"Huh?!"

Xiao Yan's words shocked Wen Xing's body and mind.

Before he could come to his senses, Xiao Yan's voice gradually flowed into his ears.

"Don't worry about the room, it's definitely enough. If it doesn't work, it's okay for several children to live in one room."

"There will be enough food, and if your brothers and sisters get sick again, we can take care of them immediately."

"Is this a good choice for both you and your brothers and sisters?"

Xiao Yan's words took Wen Xing a long time to come to his senses.

He asked blankly.

"What's the benefit of doing this?"

Wen Xing couldn't understand, couldn't understand what Xiao Yan could get by doing this.

Paying a lot, but getting nothing, how could someone do such a stupid thing?

Wen Xing thought so in his heart, and then suddenly denied it.

No, there is

Wen Xing immediately thought of the big brother who saved him when he was dying.

Without him and those brothers and sisters, he could have lived better.

But he still keeps adding burdens to himself.

He won't even die.

Thinking back to the panicked face of his elder brother when he was dying, it still appears in his nightmares.

Wen Xing's heart was trembling, his eyes were red, wet, and trembling.

He lowered his head, his messy hair covering his eyes, and he murmured in a low voice.

"Why. You want to do this?"

"What good will it do you?"

"Isn't it enough to live your own life? What does the life and death of others have to do with you?!"

The last sentence was shouted out by Wen Xing with anger.

Is he blaming Xiao Yan? Or is he blaming the big brother deep in his memory?

Wen Xing himself couldn't figure it out.

Liu Yiyi, who was standing by, looked at Wen Xing, her small eyes full of worry, tightly holding the corner of Wen Xing's worn clothes.

Wen Xing's roar also led Xiao Yixian out of the kitchen, standing at the kitchen door, quietly looking at Xiao Yan's back.

Lu Qiong and Lu Jing, who were sitting at the table, looked at him blankly, and Feng Qing'er's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan's face.

She also wanted to know the answer.

She wanted to know what drove Xiao Yan to do such a waste of time, money, and energy, but without any reward.

Xiao Yan heard Wen Xing's roar and closed his eyes slightly.

Silently, thinking about the answer.

Is it for his own righteousness?

Of course.

His own righteousness is the original of all his actions and the rules of what he does.

But he can't answer like that.

The Wen Xing in front of him is just a child who forces himself to mature.

He doesn't understand the vague things like righteousness.

To answer his question, only real words will work.

Xiao Yan's thoughts became clear, and he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Wen Xing in front of him.

He spoke in a low and firm voice.

"Because I want to do this, that's all."

? ! !

Xiao Yan's answer made Wen Xing suddenly stagnate, and he raised his head and looked at Xiao Yan in front of him.

Feng Qing'er was also stunned. He never thought that Xiao Yan would give such an answer.

And Xiao Yixian smiled softly, looking at Xiao Yan's back, her eyes full of warmth.

Yes, sometimes the answer is that simple.

There is no need to pursue the righteous path that Xiao Yan insists on or some other vague things.

A sentence [I want to do it] is enough as a reason.

Xiao Yan looked at the dazed Wen Xing and smiled slightly.

"Isn't it the same for people to do many things?"

"Just like the people you usually see, if you want to do something, just do it at will."

"They and I are essentially the same."

"Because I want to take care of you, I think I should take care of you, so I did it."

"Is this reason enough?"

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was showing sincerity in front of him, and the reasons he gave, Wen Xing's mind once again circled the words of the big brother.

[Eh? You asked me why I adopted you? ]

[Well, maybe it's because I'm stupid, I don't quite understand it myself. ]

[But I think I should adopt you, I want to take care of you. ]

[This should also be a reason, right? 】

At that moment, the big brother's honest smile seemed so bright and dazzling, which deeply touched Wen Xing's heart at that time.

Wen Xing was immersed in memories, and tears slowly slid down his face.

And Xiao Yan spoke again.

"And you and me, and your big brother, are the same, right?"

"Didn't you also adopt those brothers and sisters who have nothing to do with you?"

"Just because you think you should do this, you want to do this, so you do it, right?"

Xiao Yan's words shocked Wen Xing's heart.

He turned his head slightly and looked down at Liu Yiyi beside him.

Just like the big brother who looked down at him before.
