I walked up to the edge of the woods, and she trembled in fear.
"Are you afraid of me, Woods?" I crouched down and looked into her eyes, speaking gently.
Linzi glanced at me and quickly lowered her head again.
I raised my arm to pat her shoulder, to comfort her and tell her not to be afraid in the future, but when she saw me raise my hand, she quickly hid behind the tree.
I feel a mix of emotions in my heart as I watch her in pain. She used to be such a bold person.
When I was in elementary school, my parents died in a car accident. I was mocked by my classmates for being an orphan. It was Lin Zi who appeared just in time and beat up those kids, allowing me to emerge from those dark days.
"Growl~" Linzi's stomach suddenly made a sound, and she subconsciously touched her belly, frowning in a pitiful manner.
"Cough cough! Linzi, are you hungry? Would you like to come home with me?" I smiled tentatively and reached out my hand. I didn't dare to get too close to her, afraid that she might be scared of me.
Linzi stared at me with her big eyes, observing my every move.
"Eat...food..." she swayed, as if contemplating for a moment.
"Yes, let's eat!" I said gently, as if comforting a wounded child.
She glanced at me and nodded gently. Seeing her reaction, I dared to take a step forward, but she unexpectedly took a few steps back.
"Don't be afraid! I won't move, just follow me obediently, okay?" I immediately raised my hands in a surrendering gesture.
She nodded, but my gaze fell on her feet. It was already autumn, and she was dressed so lightly, but she didn't even have a pair of shoes on!
I took off my coat and shoes, took a step forward, and saw her eyes start to avoid mine again. I immediately stopped in my tracks, put my clothes and shoes on the ground, and gestured for her to put them on. I walked ahead while she followed behind me secretly. I dared not walk too fast, fearing that she might accidentally get left behind.
I couldn't help but glance back, and the way Linzi walked was especially cute. She took small steps and kept looking around, sneaking glances left and right, like a mischievous child.
At this thought, my heart suddenly sank. I realized belatedly that perhaps she was afraid, afraid that someone bad might appear on the street at any moment and take her away...
At this moment, I really want to rush up and hug her tightly. I really want to tell her that she doesn't need to be afraid anymore after coming back.
I clenched my fists tightly, trying hard to control my emotions. I brought her to the place where I live, which is the ancestral home left to me by my grandfather. As soon as you enter, there is a spacious courtyard.
There is a large tree in the courtyard, and the leaves on the tree are heart-shaped. The trunk of the tree is very thick, requiring several people to encircle it.
"Xi Chen is back!" An elderly woman with white hair came out of the house.
"Aunty Zhang! What are you doing here?" I looked at Aunty Zhang in confusion. How could she appear here?
"The village chief and we have all discussed it. You have made too many contributions to our village. At your age, you don't even have a wife. You can't come back and not even have a hot meal, right?" Aunty Zhang joked.
I saw Linzi standing at the door, peeking out and carefully observing our every move.
"What's this?" Aunty Zhang saw a woman at the door from a distance, sneaky and dirty. If it weren't for her wearing Xi Chen's coat, she would have suspected that the girl was here to beg!
