Chapter 1210: Little Fox
“Wah...I hate Brother! I don’t want Brother anymore!” The girl with twin tails knocked over the castle of blocks and ran out of the living room while wailing.
The lightbulb above swayed, providing only a dim yellow light. An old calendar and a few certificates covered the walls. The interiors were weathered, but warm. The black and white television was playing a cartoon.
A seven-year-old Gao Yang stood frozen in the living room, a little dazed.
The brother and sister had fought over something trivial again. Gao Yang had had enough of being the bigger person and didn’t want to yield to his sister this time, and as expected, she got angry.
His sister cried just like he had expected, but he didn’t feel happy at all. He regretted it a little, actually. And his mother was going to scold him once she knew what happened. It gave him a headache.
It was dark outside. He couldn’t just let his sister run around on her own. He had to find her.
“Gao Xinxin, so annoying!” he grumbled as he rushed out of the house.
Fortunately, the moon was there to light his way. He searched through the front yard, backyard, alleyways along the town’s streets, the stacks of hay in the field in the back, below the stone bridge over a small creek...his sister was nowhere to be seen.
“Gao Xinxin!” Gao Yang was getting anxious. He called out, “Where are you, Gao Xinxin?”
“Stop hiding! Come on out!”
“Come home with me, or Mom’s gonna be angry!”
