Chapter 96: As If Welcoming The Person Closest To Her
She admiringly looked at her brother who gave presents to everyone and felt hurt when he did not give anything to her even though she was just a kid.
Gu Tianchao turned around and saw this poor little girl at the corner. Perhaps he felt sympathy for her, so he simply took out a piece of candy and threw it to her, "This is for you."
Although it was just a simple candy, it was the first present Gu Xijiu had received since she grew up. She immediately put a smile on her face. She looked at her brother with awe and gratitude. This expression probably pleased Gu Tianchao, because every other time when he came back home, he would bring something for her.
Although the present she received would always be the most useless one, it always made Gu Xijiu’s day. It was because of this that whenever Gu Tianchao came back home, she would run out from her house to welcome him as if welcoming the person closest to her.
There were simply too few good memories in her short life that every time someone gave her a little warmth she would keep it in her heart and return the favor with her best effort. She never knew that her brother saw her as a homeless dog who begged for care and attention.
The original Gu Xijiu ended her life at the age of 13 so she might not understand the so-called "care" from her brother. But it was evident to the current Gu Xijiu, so it was impossible for her to go and welcome him like before.
