"Let go." Ding Junhui held the man's hand with one hand and pulled Yuan Qi to him with the other.
"Wow - second brother -" Yuan Qi cried out when she saw Ding Junhui.
Ding Junhui did not let the two men go. Instead, he called the airport police because he suspected that the two men were human traffickers.
After finishing the two people's affairs, Ding Junhui took Yuan Qi to a ramen restaurant at the airport and ordered ramen for her.
Yuan Qi was so hungry that she grabbed her chopsticks, lowered her head and started eating.
Ding Junhui frowned and watched her eating. He reached out and poured some water for her and put it next to her hand. "Eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll give you some more."
Yuan Qi ate, tears falling drop by drop.
"I didn't scold you, why are you crying?" Ding Junhui sat opposite her, looking at the girl whose shoulders were shaking as she cried.
"Why don't you scold me, second brother?" Yuan Qi said in a low voice. If it were the eldest brother, he would probably start beating me right now.
Ding Junhui took out a tissue and handed it to her, watching her wipe her tears, "It will be sixteen after the New Year. Do you know what sixteen means? Yuan Qi, am I not treating you well?"
"Second brother is very good to me." Yuan Qi whispered.
"Is your eldest brother treating you badly?" Ding Junhui asked again, "Did your eldest sister-in-law or Yue Gao bully you?"
"None of them." Yuan Qi's voice became even lower.
"Do you really want to piss off everyone around you?" Ding Junhui said in a deep voice, "We are your relatives, not your enemies."
Yuan Qi silently put down her chopsticks. In the past few hours, she experienced for the first time what it meant to be without accompaniment. That feeling was terrible, so terrible that it was scary.
"My parents are both bad people, and you will also think that I am a bad person." Yuan Qi grabbed her fingers and spoke in a low voice that no one could see.
"How are your parents? We are all juniors. Let me not mention it for now. If you were a bad person, would I not hesitate to offend your aunt and get your custody?" Yuan Qi was willing to speak out her feelings. This is a lesson learned from running away from home this time.
"But-"
"You have always been a very smart child, and you are very kind. Everyone is an individual in this world and does not need to bear any responsibility for anyone." Ding Junhui reached out and touched Yuan Qi's head, "You Very good, in the second brother's heart, you are as good a boy as Yuan Fei."
"Second brother-" Yuan Qi burst into tears, stood up and hugged Ding Junhui.
Ding Junhui patted Yuan Qi's back gently, "But the matter of running away from home cannot be passed like this. I want to give your aunt an explanation. Do you want to go back to City B or follow me to see your aunt?"
"I, I'm going back to city B." Yuan Qi whispered, her aunt was not as easy to talk to as her second brother, and her aunt would strangle her to death before talking about other things, "My aunt, aren't you very angry?"
Ding Junhui raised his eyebrows slightly, not thinking this was a problem.
Ding Junhui looked down at the time and said, "Your elder brother will arrive in five hours. You still have time to write a letter of confession. I can bring it to your aunt."
"ah-"
"Don't want to write?" Ding Junhui looked at his cousin.
"Write." Yuan Qi said in a low voice. The price of running away from home was a bit high.
How could she forget that her second brother, a university professor and a high school dean, was always asked to copy and write for review, and finally it was her aunt's turn.
