Chapter 18
At that time, Guo Na and the others had to stay in the most dilapidated house. The roof beams had been chewed up by rats, but they went undiscovered. At night, the house suddenly collapsed without warning. The entire house was turned into flat ground. If the beams had hit the mother and son, they would have either died or been seriously injured.
Jiang Xinyuan still remembered that when the staff members were discussing this matter, they even looked at him and said that Aunt Guo Na had done a good deed, which helped her receive good karma. That was how she avoided the calamity.
Thinking of this, he squeezed out a faint smile. “Hello, Aunt.”
Guo Na also smiled and greeted Jiang Xinyuan. She said considerately, “Your mother is still sleeping. Let’s keep our voices down.”
She was so understanding, and Jiang Xinyuan’s impression of Guo Na became even better. It was rare for him to smile for the second time. “Thank you, Aunt.”
[Little Jelly is too obedient. I feel the urge to steal a child.]
[I was too busy looking at others yesterday. I didn’t expect such a cute little baby to be here. He’s a peerless cutie!]
[This child should be the most handsome among the few kids, right? With his looks, it’s very difficult to hold a candle to him.]
[His smile is so healing. Didn’t the trending searches say that he has autism? He doesn’t look like he has autism.]
[You should look at the new trending topics. It’s very likely that the family’s former butler deliberately defamed them to take revenge on Fu Xin…]
After Huo Run sat down, he clung to his mother’s body and whispered into Guo Na’s ear. However, he had a mic on him, so the audience watching the live broadcast could still hear a little bit of what he said.
[These kids are too cute. They’re good-looking too, so it’ll be easy for them to make friends.]
[It’s indeed a world that values looks! Even children are not immune to it.]
On the other hand, Guo Na was a little surprised. Despite Huo Run’s warm personality, he was actually a shy and reserved child. He only smiled but was too shy to take the initiative to make friends. Whether it was in kindergarten or when he went out to play, if no one took the initiative to start a conversation with him, he would play alone. No matter what she said, it was useless. When he saw other children chasing each other and fooling around, he would look at them enviously but would not take the initiative to walk over to them.
One reason why she brought him on the show this time was to earn money to support their family because their family was in urgent need of money. The other reason was to let Huo Run see a brand-new environment. Perhaps he could make friends here. However, she did not expect him to be willing to take the first step on his first day meeting Jiang Xinyuan.
Guo Na was very curious. She did not know what kind of magic Jiang Xinyuan had to be able to touch Huo Run’s heart. Could it really be because he was good-looking? But no matter what, Huo Run was willing to take the initiative to make friends. She would definitely show her support. “Then go ahead, but be quiet. His mother is sleeping. We can’t disturb her.”
Huo Run nodded and looked for his bag. After rummaging through it, he finally found a bag of his favorite strawberry biscuits. Then, he walked in front of Jiang Xinyuan. “Do you want to eat it? This is my favorite. It’s for you.”
Jiang Xinyuan shook his head. In his previous life, in order to please bad women, he did not have any of those ‘bad habits.’ At that time, he always thought that as long as he was a little more obedient, his ‘mother’ would accept him. Therefore, he had never eaten snacks or asked other children for delicious food. Even the cartoons he watched were educational, and his toys were all puzzles.
Although he had deliberately developed those habits in his previous life, he was already used to them. When Fu Xin brought him out to eat children’s meals, he would say that the food was not nutritious.
However, when his mother said that happiness came first, he accepted it. As for the biscuits being offered to him right now, he did not know whether his mother would want him to eat these. Although he vaguely felt that his mother would not be angry because of this, what if she did not approve of it? It was not easy for him to live the life he had dreamed of. He did not want to make his mother unhappy at all.
Huo Run could not understand why Jiang Xinyuan was shaking his head. He asked directly, “Don’t you like biscuits? I still have chips and chocolate. Do you want some?”
Jiang Xinyuan shook his head again. “No, thank you. I don’t like snacks.”
Huo Run was shocked. There were actually children who didn’t like snacks? He secretly glanced at Fu Xin and moved closer to Jiang Xinyuan, wanting to whisper to him. However, just as he moved closer, he saw Jiang Xinyuan take a step back.
