"You're wrong, A Sheng." Xue Xue's voice was light. "In my heart, the Tiger Gang, the brothers, and Luo Chi are all equally important. It may be difficult for the two ends of the scale to be equal in weight, but I attach the same importance and care as much."
Huang Hongsheng was stunned by these words.
"I told you that Luo Chi has a different meaning to me, that's because he is my lover and my partner for life."
"And we have a lot of memories that are exclusive to each other, made up of the past, paving the way for the future."
"However, the Tiger Gang, Hu Dayu, Huang Congyan, and the others, or even you." Xue Xue looked at Huang Hongsheng calmly. "You are brothers and family to me, and the Tiger Gang... is like a big family."
When he said this word, Xue Xue felt sour in his heart.
She knew that this was the emotion of Xue Manqing, the owner of this body.
Just when Xue Xue closed his eyes and tried to calm the suffocation in his chest, Huang Hongsheng murmured, but Xue Xue could hear it clearly.
"But... you want to destroy it."
Hearing this, Xue Xue suddenly opened his eyes.
Huang Hongsheng looked at her stubbornly.
"Sister Xue, your Tiger Gang is your home, but you want to destroy this home for Luo Chi."
This sentence, Huang Hongsheng originally planned not to say it until he died.
Xue Manqing gave him redemption.
The woman who handed the candy to her back then had the warmest palm and the gentlest smile. Even after so many years, it is still vivid in Huang Hongsheng's memory.
Perhaps because of such an unfortunate family and a smart enough brain, he knew a lot from a very young age.
He knew that his father was a scum, but he had no ability to escape.
Whipped again and again, wounds one after another.
When the scum finally died, Huang Hongsheng felt that the one who longed to be saved was also dead.
So he sealed himself in a dark corner and became a withdrawn teenager who was hostile to all good intentions in the eyes of adults.
Until Xue Manqing appeared.
There was no pity, no sympathy, and no disgust in the woman's eyes, but just handed him the candy with a calm look and a smile.
At that moment, Huang Hongsheng knew that he still had to wait.
Waiting for redemption.
He was taken by Xue Manqing. Although he did not join the gang, he lived in that environment.
Huang Hongsheng didn't think there was anything, although he knew that Xue Manqing always deliberately avoided letting him see some bad pictures, but Huang Hongsheng was deeply interested. The source of this interest was not violence and bloodshed, but rules and regulations.
He was curious as to why the gang could have such a great centripetal force. In addition to the suppression of the superiors over the inferiors, and the common interests of a group of people, there must be something else.
It was those things that made Huang Hongsheng decide to join the Tiger Gang, even though Xue Manqing repeatedly objected.
In the end, Huang Hongsheng used his ability to prove to Xue Manqing that he had the power to make decisions for himself.
And now, although he has not found the answer he wants, his dedication has given him a strong sense of belonging. Those brothers who are like friends and family are regarded by Huang Hongsheng as existences that can be protected with their lives.
He didn't want the Tiger Gang to be destroyed by someone, even if that person was Xue Manqing, who had the grace to rebuild himself.
After Huang Hongsheng said those two sentences, he avoided Xue Xue's eyes, but Xue Xue knew very well that the young man was serious.
Seriously, Xue Manqing was going to destroy the Tiger Gang because of Luo Chi.
So she laughed.
With a low voice, Huang Hongsheng was shocked.
He raised his head suddenly, stunned and angry in his eyes.
"you… "
"Who told you that I'm going to destroy the Tiger Gang?" Xue Xue, who finally knew the reason, folded her arms across her chest, and her posture seemed leisurely and calm. "And for Luo Chi to destroy the Tiger Gang?"
Huang Hongsheng obviously did not expect Xue Xue to ask such a question.
Panic flashed across the young man's face.
Xue Xue leaned forward, making Huang Hongsheng want to take a step back unconsciously.
Only the back of the chair blocked his retreat.
"I… "
"What are you?" Xue Xue snorted and said in a self-deprecating manner, "A Sheng, I have to say, you really disappointed me."
Huang Hongsheng's hands on the table clenched into fists, his blue veins protruded and trembled slightly.
"You don't know me so well, no, it should be said that you didn't want to know me at all. Instead, you listened to other people's words and phrases to convict me indiscriminately."
Xue Xue's choice of words was quite serious, and Huang Hongsheng immediately retorted: "I didn't!"
"Don't you have it?" Xue Xueren leaned forward even more, her face so beautiful that she could almost be described as stern for no reason, brought huge pressure on Huang Hongsheng. "A Sheng, I don't want to care who instilled this idea in you, or if you really think so from the bottom of your heart..."
After being aggressive, his tone suddenly loosened and he let go of his strength, making Huang Hongsheng suddenly unable to say what he said.
Closing her eyes, Xue Xue blinked away the tears that suddenly poured in.
"Huang Hongsheng, I'll only say these words once, and I won't say them again."
After opening her eyes again, the woman's eyes shone with light comparable to the bright sun outside the window.
"I hope the Tiger Gang will do better than anyone else."
"But in this world, not all wishes can be achieved with just the word hope."
"The goal of Luo Chi and I is to make the Tiger Gang survive well in the new era, not for its name, but to continue its spirit. For this, we will do our best."
