8 Chapter 8: Looking for fortune

" Uncle..."

Xiao YunXi shouted with a voice like a mosquito, his hands clenching the sides of his shirt. Xia Qin Yi looked at the man that appears to be the uncle of the little kid and narrow her eyes for a while. This person is not simple. The coldness that radiates in his whole body seems to be accumulated for being on the shopping mall for years, and his demeanor shows the indifference of a big cold president.

She gradually regains her focus and calmly retracts her gaze to the man and looked at the little small group who clutches her shirt.

The hand is so small and white. It looks cute.

She glanced at the little hand and stretch out her hands. Xiao Yunxi, whose hands were clutched to the shirt of the beautiful sister, flinched. The eyes gradually darkened. The thoughts of the child are not written in his face but Xia Qin Yi felt the frustration for a while. She clasps the little hand and gently removes it from her shirt. The hands of the child were tightened for a while and wanted to retract his hands from the warm hands of the girl.

The flushed face of a 5-year old kid is so cute to look at and Xia Qin Yi can't help but stare for a while. After much thought, she tightened her hands to hold Xiao Yunxi.

Xiao Yunxi, whose gaze was darkened can't help being stunned. The hand that holds his hand is so soft and warm. He stares like that for a long time when the pretty sister broke the silence.

" Xiao Yunxi, your uncle is here. You should go back." Xia Qin Yi is a little reluctant when she said it, she didn't notice it herself. Her eyes looked up to the man who seemed to be watching a show and narrowed her cold eyes.

" Mr., the child has been out for a long while and no one has been looking for him?" She said sarcastically. Her cold eyes filled with a dark color shines like a washed obsidian and the man didn't speak for a while.

" People are small and if involved in a dangerous situation, a child without a guardian, what can it do? I hope Mr. can reflect for a while." While saying those words she turned her eyes into the little child and squat down at his eye level.

" Your uncle is here now. You should go back with him. Remember to not run away from home like last night. The world is dangerous for someones as little as you." She retracts her hand gently from the hands of the little boy. And a sound of 'ding' followed when she regain her straight stature. She didn't glance again and walk straight outside the elevator. The little boy whose hands lost the warmth of the pretty sister bit the side of his cheek, swallowing the words that don't have the time to be said, and stayed silent.

The silence in the car make it more oppressive but the two, uncle and child didn't speak along the way. The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses massaged the bridge of his nose for a while.

" Do you know you are wrong? " The coldness in his voice can't hide the concern and worry in his eyes.

The child didn't utter a word since they left the building. The small face looked gloomy and frustrated. He fiddles with his fingers not knowing what he is thinking. His hands that were held by Xia Qin Yi a moment ago were stiff, flustered that the warmth that surrounds his hand earlier is an illusion.

His eyes turned red and he blinked hard not to let the tears fall. The flushed face looks frustrated and fragile. The man beside him couldn't help but sigh. The expressionless child he once raised doesn't know what happened and the look on his face is full of grievance. Huo Yanlin remembered that the child does not like the approach of anyone even himself. The grasped hand by the girl earlier is not like the hand of the child beside him whose body is full of thorns. The hand obediently rested there for a long time without retracting it. Almost that he thought that the child enjoyed it himself.

Huo Yanlin put his gaze to the clenched hand of the child and fell into deep thought. The uncle and child don't know what each of them is thinking and the car drove straight to their destination.

On the other side of the city, Xia Qin Yi who just left the building couldn't help but fell into deep thought and annoyance. She felt that she is being nosy about the business of the child she just met last night. She put all the thoughts at the back of her head and hail a cab. Looking outside the moving car, she was gradually enthralled by the scenery outside. The building that are taller one after another, the busy crowds and the occasional traffic. She felt that life doesn't seem to be too bad after rebirth.

The deep gaze darkened slightly. She has to avenge the grievances on the past life quickly. Well, uproot them when they're in their heights and let them fall in the abyss that she came from. Not seeing a bit of light.

Thinking about those waste people, her mouth twitched. She has a life too, this second chance that falls from the sky has to be worthwhile. She wants to do everything that she hadn't done in her previous life. Visit every corner of the world.

Since she was a child, she loves the freedom the most. Doing things that she wanted to do as long as she likes it. Being held captive by the dog relatives and tortured, she was devastated and hatred fill her heart. But now this hatred turns to indifference.

She gathered her thoughts for a while. She arrived at her destination and enter the building in front. People are curious why such a little girl entered the building of commerce. Well, the thing is the girl walk to the stock area and watched the up and downs of the graph on the screen. Not knowing what she is thinking, the people around her glance at her for a while either they are curious and some are contemptuous for a while.

The girl did not pay attention to her surroundings and focuses on the blinking screen in front of her. Her intelligent eyes were dark at the moment until she saw something, her eyes brightened, and couldn't help the upturn on her red lips.

There. She thought.
