Chapter 2681: Chapter 2685: Just Like Sunshine, So Warm

Senior Master Huo shook his head, "No, I won’t, Qiqi, you know, Grandpa’s favorite has always been you."

"That was before," Huo Zhongqi said softly, "What Grandpa liked was the me with Huo Family blood running through my veins. Now, I’m a bastard child who has nothing to do with the Huo Family. Since finding out I’m not your real grandson, Grandpa hasn’t seen me for months. Grandpa doesn’t like me anymore."

Senior Master Huo was speechless.

After a long while, he finally spoke with difficulty, "Qiqi, it’s not that Grandpa doesn’t like you anymore, it’s just that he couldn’t accept the blow all at once and has been avoiding it for a while..."

"I’ve already decided," Huo Zhongqi looked up at Senior Master Huo and said, "Dad crashed a car into me once, stood behind me and pushed me down the stairs once. Twice, I barely escaped death. I don’t know when the third time will be, and I don’t want to gamble."

"Before, this was my home, and I loved it here. But now, this place fills me with fear. I can’t sleep peacefully at night; I keep having nightmares about someone sneaking into my room and cutting off my head."

"I want to leave the Huo Family and live a new life."

He tilted his head toward Gu Junzhu, "I want to live with Uncle Gu."

Senior Master Huo looked at Gu Junzhu, "Qiqi, haven’t you only met Young Master Gu today?"

"Yes," Huo Zhongqi said, "But I’ve known Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue for a long time. Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue are always so happy. They don’t fight, and no one schemes against them. Also, Lingyue isn’t Uncle Gu’s child, yet Lingyue lives well at Uncle Gu’s place. I believe I can too."

Even when he didn’t know he wasn’t Senior Master Huo’s real grandson, life in the Huo Family wasn’t easy.

His cousins saw him as a thorn in their side, often provoking him with sarcastic remarks and insults.

Sometimes, they would even deliberately set him up and frame him.

Since he can remember, he’s never lived as carefree and pure a life as Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue.

Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue are close, like one person.

They never argue.

They’re always huddled together, whispering, learning and living carefree, laughing freely.

When Xiao Shumiao smiles, it’s as warm as the sun, as lovely as a sunflower.

Lingyue is indifferent to others but very attentive and patient with Xiao Shumiao.

He envies them greatly.

Later on, Qin Junye joined them.

He thought Qin Junye’s addition would bring some conflicts.

Like his family, with their cousins’ deceit and rivalry.

But it didn’t.

It turns out, Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue are as close as one person.

With Qin Junye joining, gradually, Xiao Shumiao, Lingyue, and Qin Junye became close like one person.

The three of them do everything together.

He’s never seen them worry or argue.

Every day, they’re carefree, laughing.

He envies them deeply.

He’s never felt such simple, pure emotions.

Like sunlight, so warm and captivating.

Upon learning his dad wanted to harvest his heart, his first thought was to escape.

Where should he escape?

The first answer that popped into his mind was Xiao Shumiao’s home.

He really loves Xiao Shumiao’s way of living.
