The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady - Chapter 263

263 Each Look

Li Xiaoran could sense the sadness in Luo Cheng’s heart. She didn’t say anything and only silently accompanied Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng kept pulling Li Xiaoran up the mountain aimlessly.

After walking for an unknown period of time, Luo Cheng brought Li Xiaoran to sit under a tree.

“My mother was originally just a girl from a humble family who lived a carefree life. But one day, her family fell on hard times and she was sold by his family.” Luo Cheng suddenly had the desire to confide in her.

!!
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she walked over and held Luo Cheng’s hand.

“But the heavens seemed to have played a big joke on her! After she was sold by her family, she was saved halfway. And this person was my father. My father saved her unintentionally, but my mother felt that my father was her benefactor and had always been by my father’s side in order to repay him. Once, my father was poisoned and needed a woman to detoxify him, so my mother volunteered to detoxify him. Later on, I was born!” Luo Cheng said as a tear fell from the corner of his eye.

“No one felt happiness over my birth! That’s why my father didn’t like me when I was young. Because of my existence, my father was constantly reminded of his stupidity at that time. He fell into someone’s trap, which gave my mother a chance to become pregnant with me!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she suddenly felt sorry for him.

No matter what, Luo Cheng was the most innocent one!

Besides, Luo Cheng’s mother had saved his father back then! Why did Luo Cheng’s father blame their child for his own mistake?

On the other side, Luo Cheng took out the jade cabbage pendant and rubbed it with his finger.

“My mother also has this jade cabbage pendant. Actually, this jade cabbage pendant isn’t worth much because this jade isn’t high-quality jade to begin with. Back then, when my mother was sold by her family, her family lied and said that they were just playing a game with her. In the future, someone will go to her with the jade cabbage pendant and the family will be reunited. Unfortunately, my mother didn’t await the family reunion!”

With that, Luo Cheng sneered.

“After that, I experienced a lot of things! During my most difficult times, no one brought out the jade cabbage pendant. When I was still a child, I kept hoping that my family would appear in front of me and take me away from that desolate home. Unfortunately, no one appeared from the beginning to the end.”

“Now that I’ve become stronger and can protect myself, this jade cabbage pendant actually appeared! How ridiculous is this?! When I needed them back then, they refused to appear no matter what. Now that they need me, they appeared in front of me. Why?” Luo Cheng asked coldly, “Why should they appear just because they want to? Why should I definitely help them just because they took out the jade cabbage pendant?! It’s already good enough that I didn’t kick them when they were down!”

Li Xiaoran could feel the pain and unwillingness in Luo Cheng’s heart.

Anyone would yearn for kinship and for someone to love them.

However, when Luo Cheng needed the love of his family the most, those people didn’t appear.

Now that Luo Cheng could protect himself, his so-called family appeared.

He asked Luo Cheng for help the moment he appeared. How could Luo Cheng tolerate this?!

Li Xiaoran couldn’t counsel Luo Cheng at this moment. She could only walk over and hug him tightly.

“You still have me! I’ll definitely be here when you need me!” Li Xiaoran said.

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he gently leaned his head on Li Xiaoran.

At this moment, Luo Cheng felt a sense of warmth surge into his broken heart. The pain from before had decreased substantially.

That’s right! Now, he had a family, people who would stay by his side!

“Let me hum a song for you!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and started humming softly.

Li Xiaoran hummed some therapeutic music she had heard in the modern world.

Because she heard it often, she learned how to hum it.

As expected, music was the best therapeutic treatment. After Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s humming, he calmed down and the sorrowful feeling gradually disappeared.

There was no need to remember the pain forever. The past was in the past, so there was no need to recall it, which would only hurt himself, from time to time.

After calming down, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran lay on the grass and admired the Magnolias on the tree.

“I never realized that Magnolias were so beautiful. They’re just simple petals, but they’re pleasing to the eye and make me feel much calmer!” Li Xiaoran looked at the blooming flowers as she marveled.

As Luo Cheng admired the beautiful flowers, his imagination ran wild.

After Luo Cheng pulled Li Xiaoran away angrily, Third Master Xue sat on the straw mat dejectedly.

At this moment, footsteps sounded. Third Master Xue thought that Luo Cheng had returned, so he quickly looked up.

In the end, the person who came wasn’t Luo Cheng, but Luo Ziyang.

“Your brother asked you to come?” Third Master Xue asked.

Luo Ziyang shook his head and kept his eyes on Third Master Xue.

“Who are you? Tell me your true identity!”

When Third Master Xue heard Luo Ziyang’s words, he immediately smiled bitterly.

“What other identity can I have?! I don’t! If I said that I only recently found out that I was related to your brother, would you believe me?”

“I believe you! So tell me!” Luo Ziyang came to Third Master Xue and sat down facing him.

As Third Master Xue stared at Luo Ziyang, he froze for a moment. Then, he asked, “Do you have wine?”

“There’s no wine, but there’s tea!” Luo Ziyang said as he brought over a teapot and poured a cup of tea for Third Master Xue.

Third Master Xue picked up his teacup and drank a glass of water. Then, his eyes became glazed.

“When I was born, I only had a crippled father. I didn’t know what my mother looked like. I only knew that my father seemed miserable all day long and worked his butt off to support me. Later, as I grew up, I realized that my father would take a portrait out and look at it in the dead of night!”

“I thought my old father was looking at my mother’s portrait, so I secretly took that portrait out while he was out. In the end, I saw a young woman. I also always thought that this young woman was what my mother looked like when she was young, so I was surprised when I met Luo Cheng because Luo Cheng looked a lot like the woman in the painting!”

“I thought that Luo Cheng and I were brothers, and that he was the child of my mother and someone else! So I searched for Luo Cheng and asked about him!”
