He also suffered a lot of grievances. If it wasn't for a wealthy person bullying him and coincidentally selling off his brother's cherished jade pendant, we wouldn't have found him so quickly.
When the family found the brother, he was so self-conscious that he didn't dare to get in the car, reluctant to waste food. The big screen kept rolling. Dozens of photos were playing in a loop, including the torn quilt under the bridge, his precious money box, and there's a photo of him begging on the street.
Shantin, who was telling the story, choked up several times. He bravely held back tears and finished telling the story.
The video has finished playing. The audience in the stands had already sobbed uncontrollably. Regardless of gender or age, all looked at the boy on stage with heartache.
At an age where he should have been carefree and happy, yet I could only eke out a living in the dark sewers of the city. Emotional men and women were in tears, their hearts felt like they had been pierced by a sharp blade.
Sh Shin Ru couldn't help but cry every time she watched the video. Now, her delicate face was strewn with two streams of tears. Seeing my sister cry, I felt somewhat at a loss, raising and then lowering my little hand, and then raising it again after lowering it.
I tugged at my sister's sleeve.
"Keep your heart cal—"
Trembling inquiry, "What's wrong, little brother?"
I reached out my sleeve, wiped the tears from my sister's face. "Sister, don't be sad. I'm very happy now, and sister loves me very much. I'm very happy."
After saying this, I showed a warm and lovely smile. It's very healing.
Because both of us were wearing earphones, the sound spread through the square again via the speakers.
"I— I'm so miserable. I'm so obedient. Can't stay still. The family members who bully her... I won't bully her. They are simply beasts. You must protect me well in the future! I want to do my makeup! I— I am our treasure! We will protect her in the future!"
Sh Shin Ru chuckled, rubbing my little brother's head. I stood up. She wiped away her tears, shouting to the audience on the stage,
"I am Shur Shinu's little brother! He is the treasure of our Shur family! We will definitely do our best to protect her!"
This sentence is full of meaning—it's also like a warning.
Shanan easily said to me, "Today is my little brother's birthday. Guess what your sister has prepared for you?"
"Is this birthday party prepared for me?"
My silly words made people go from crying to laughing. The crowd cheered in their hearts. Cue! This isn't meant for you, then who else could it be for?
After seeing my sister nod in approval, I couldn't help but exclaim, "So this is my birthday party! Is this the legendary surprise!?"
She calmly spoke, "Come up."
The backstage door opened. Several etiquette ladies walked onto the stage carrying gift boxes. Approaching me with an excited heart, I opened all the gift boxes in one go, once again causing amazement.
The first box contained a platinum necklace. There was also a pigeon-egg-sized blue diamond hanging on the necklace.
The second box contained an exquisite ring made of platinum, inlaid with many small diamonds shining brightly in the light.
The third box contained a similar platinum bracelet. The sparkling lights made everyone's eyes sore.
"Damn, the stench of money!"
My eyes widened. "This thing really sparkled…"
Not working.
Shena squinted his eyes, coughed lightly into the microphone.
"Brother, come and see! Shinata's gift—definitely better than your gift, Shinra."
I turned my head and looked expectantly at Hashu.
Shena softly spoke to me, "Let it go."
Backstage staff heard the sound and quickly lit a firework shooting straight into the sky.
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds. Everyone looked at the sky in confusion.
Looking at the people on the stage, I was really looking forward to it, but it seems like nothing happened afterwards.
"Sister, is the gift you gave me fireworks?"
Shanani had a gentle smile. She shook her head, then pointed to the sky with one hand.
I looked over as well. The people on the stage also curiously looked at the sky.
Suddenly, two pink helicopters flew in from the distance, hovering above the square.
"These are the two helicopters your sister sent you! Except for Sher Shinu, this time Shir Shintani and the other person—the rest of them all opened their mouths wide."
Giving airplanes as birthday gifts—what a grand gift! The crowd in the stands is tired of even mentioning the word envy.
I cheer excitedly. I made the two girls giggle.
"Sister, is this the little plane for me!?"
"Yes! They will be your private helicopters from now on. I asked someone to send it to the Sh family helipad."
"Then can I give it a name?"
Shenan smiled and nodded. "Let him decide."
I happily pointed to one of the helicopters.
"This one will be called Little Kueh! And that one will be called Little Coutu!"
"Okay," Shanen recognized it instantly.
Suddenly a picture appeared in his mind. Shantien shook his head. He advised me against it.
"Little brother, let's wait a bit before using this name."
The crowd in the stands burst into laughter.
"Shiao Cou Number Two is ready for takeoff! Haha!"
"Oh my goodness, this name is quite impressive. Don't use it next time! I admit my son really lacks talent in naming!"
I nodded to Sister Ba and agreed. Anyway, I've already decided on the name.
"Brother!"
Another clear and crisp female voice sounded. The backstage door—two graceful figures slowly emerged from the crowd. I looked towards the sound—
