I remember many years ago, when Jiang Shengze was first received into the Jiang family, he was still a very, very small child.

He was painting in front of his bedroom window at the time, when he inadvertently looked up and saw a tiny ball of powder come into view.

At that time Jiang Shengze was too small, and compared to his peers to come a lot of retardation, the children of the Jiang family ostracized him, the other children also bullied him.

He was alone and isolated, but never went to his grandfather to make a decision, and every time he was wronged, he would just hide and cry, and slowly some people began to call him a little idiot.

Those boys from the Jiang family really went overboard, they pretended to make up with him, then when he wasn't on guard, they lied to him that there was a masquerade party at school and prepared clothes for him.

That day, Qiao Mingyuan was standing upstairs, watching Jiang Shengze, who was wearing a pink princess dress, go out, and inexplicably flashed some feelings in his heart.

That day, predictably, when Jiang Shengze appeared at school in a dress, the rumor that Jiang Xiaobai was a tomboy and that Jiang Xiaobai wanted to be a girl spread like wildfire on campus.

Qiao Mingyuan stood in the corridor in front of the classroom and looked at the pink doughnut in the square, who stood under the flagstaff with his backpack on his back, his powdered face all bewildered and helpless.

"He's just a pervert who thinks he's a girl all the time."

The onlookers were among the Jiang family boys who laughed the loudest and deliberately spoke out to discredit him.

"Brother?"

Jiang Shengze bit his lip as he looked at his cousins, as if he still didn't understand what had happened? Why did his brothers and sisters, who were so kind to him yesterday, suddenly become so scary?

Then a couple of naughty ones, ran over and pulled his skirt and called him shameless.

The tiny Jiang Shengze, frightened by this sudden turn of events, cried, "Brother, brother save me!"

At that time, Qiao Mingyuan thought that he just didn't like hearing that kind of crying, it was distracting for no reason, so he went downstairs and then inadvertently passed by the square.

Fate is sometimes so marvelous, he, Qiao Mingyuan, walked his way properly, but the powdered doughnut fell right in front of him, and clutched his legs in panic.

Pink doughnut cried up and down, but still want to read his brothers who are so bad, his small hands forcefully grabbed Qiao Mingyuan's pants, "Brother, brother save me!"

That was the first time Qiao Mingyuan had been in close contact with Jiang Shengze, he looked down at the pink ball that was shrinking on his feet and spoke coldly, "Let go."

Jiang Shengze was shocked by his fierce tone and retracted his hand in a panic, but when Qiao Mingyuan lifted his leg to leave, he suddenly reached out to hug his leg again.

"Brother." His soft voice was too soft to resist.

At that moment, Qiao Mingyuan even had the illusion that he felt that the pink princess dress looked good on him.

So he made a move that, even to his own surprise, he bent down and lifted the man sitting on his feet.

Seeing his face covered in tears and snot, Second Youngest Qiao frowned in disgust, "Don't cry."

His tone was still fierce, but this time Jiang Shengze wasn't afraid, stretching out his two little short hands to hug his neck, and in the process wiping all the tears and snot from his face on him.

"Brother, I'm scared!"

The little one didn't know good from bad, he thought that Qiao Mingyuan was here to help him, that's why he was sobbing on his shoulder.

Qiao Ershao's infamy, that was also well known in the school, when they saw him lifting Jiang Shengze up, everyone was already mourning for the little idiot in their hearts.

But no one expected that Qiao Mingyuan didn't throw down this little twerp who offended him, instead he even coldly said to the onlookers, "Get lost!"

Seeing that he was going to carry Jiang Shengze away, Jiang family members knew that if this matter became a big deal, they would definitely be chastised once Master Jiang found out, so they chased after him to stop Qiao Mingyuan.

"Qiao Er, you leave Xiao Bai behind!"

Qiao Mingyuan didn't even look at them, which made the unruly Jiang family brats unhappy, the biggest one here stood out and waited ferociously for Jiang Shengze saying, "Little idiot, come here."

Jiang Shengze was startled by him, her small body trembling in Qiao Mingyuan's arms, tears barreling down her face like a broken faucet.

This kid started crying as soon as his mouth went flat, Qiao Mingyuan got a headache from his noise and looked at him coldly and said, "Shut up, cry again or I'll throw you down."

His threat worked, Jiang Shengze used a blink and pursed his lips not daring to cry out.

This kid is very sensible, Qiao Mingyuan spread his eyebrows in satisfaction and turned his face to look at the Jiang family's several boys, "Something wrong?"

The Jiang family boy was most displeased with the way he looked at him like he had no one else in his sights, and said through gritted teeth, "The little idiot is ours, trade him to us."

"Yours?" Qiao Mingyuan let out a cold laugh, looked down at the small hand that was tightly gripping his collar, and his icy voice came out, "In the future, it's mine."

After he had said that, he seemed to remember that it seemed important to hear what the person concerned had to say about such things, so he asked him, "Do you want to go back with them, or with me?"

Jiang Shengze was just a bit slow, not really a fool, he hurriedly pasted his dirty little face up and rubbed it against Qiao Ershao's cold face, "Follow your brother."

Second youngest Qiao, who had always been a cleanliness freak, could almost feel a layer of snot being smeared on his face, but strangely enough he didn't find it repulsive.

His long legs lifted and he was about to leave when the person in his arms suddenly tugged at him.

"What, want to back out?" Qiao Mingyuan's cold eyes narrowed, ready to throw the person down.

Jiang Shengze's big wet eyes blinked, then pointed somewhere and said, "My school bag."

Qiao Mingyuan looked at the school bag not far away, his cold eyes flashed as he walked over and picked up Jiang Shengze's small school bag, patting the dust on it before giving it to him on his back.

"Gone."

Qiao Mingyuan felt that his hands were full of dust and dirt, as well as his body and face, all of which were smeared with tears and snot from this kid, he had to quickly go home and take a shower to change his clothes before he could do so.

His pants were tugged at and Joey changed his head unhappily, "What's wrong again?"

Jiang Shengze smiled dully and stretched out his two arms and said, "Brother, hug."

Qiao Mingyuan looked at this kid speechlessly, first he soiled his clothes not to mention, now he also dared to give him an inch to let him hug him, the guts are simply fat!

When she was little, Jiang Shengze was really cute, her eyes were big and bright, and she wore a pink dress as if she was a real princess, so she couldn't be denied.

Qiao Mingyuan's dark eyes flashed, and he eventually bent down and picked the man up, hearing him 'giggle' on his shoulder, the frost on his face gradually dispersing.

For the first time, he felt that it wasn't so bad to be with someone like this.

With the terrified expressions of the Jiang family boys, Second Youngest Qiao just brought Jiang Xiaobai home.

After Qiao Mingyuan went home, he left Jiang Shengze in his room and hurriedly took a shower, and when he came out of the shower and saw a bedroom that was just like the scene of a disaster, his handsome face instantly darkened.

"What are you doing?" Joey growled lowly.

Not only did this dirty little kid make a mess of his neat room, but he had the nerve to lie on his bed, and he had his sketchbook in his hand!

Jiang Shengze, who was lying on the bed drawing, heard Qiao Mingyuan's roar and froze in fear, and the paintbrush in his hand fell onto the bedsheets, leaving brilliant colors.

"Jiang! Sheng! Ze!"

Qiao Mingyuan came over with big strides, threw the pink ball still lying on the bed in a daze onto the floor, looked at him coldly and said, "Get out of my room, right now!"

Strange to say, Jiang Shengze, who had always been as timid as a mouse, always had inexhaustible courage when facing Qiao Mingyuan.

He patted himself on the back and climbed to his feet, clutching the collection of paintings that had been flung to the floor along with him, and said, "Is that a picture of me on this?"

Three whole books of paintings, one for each day from the day Jiang Shengze walked into the Jiang family, recorded his condition in the past six months.

There are happy pink doughnuts and sad pink doughnuts on the painting.

The good, the naughty, the aggravating, the cute, the dorky, it turns out that without realizing it, so much has been drawn.

Jiang Shengze walked over with a collection of paintings and pulled Qiao Mingyuan, who was still in a state of rage, "Brother, will you teach me to paint? I also want to draw many, many brothers for you to see."

With a single sentence, he cracked the coldness in Qiao Mingyuan's heart as he rubbed Pinkie Pie's messy hair and said, "You're so stupid, can you learn?"

Hearing Qiao Mingyuan's questioning, Jiang Shengze wrinkled his bun face in agony, finally he thought of a solution, "Brother can help me draw it!"

Qiao Mingyuan cried and laughed at his 'wit' and pinched his fleshy cheeks and said, "Who else dares to say you're stupid."

Jiang Xiaobai who was 'praised' smiled, his chubby face was all that was left of his curved eyes as he took Qiao Mingyuan's hand and said, "Brother, aren't you great?"

"Why do you ask?" Qiao Mingyuan looked at the pink skirt he was wearing and just thought that the color matched him.

Jiang Shengze said, "I think they're all scared of you! Last time when they bullied me, you just passed by and they all ran away in fear."

As he spoke, he let go of Qiao Mingyuan's hand to flip through the picture book.

"That's the one." Pointing to one of the drawings, he said, "They asked me to carry their book bag for them, and when I didn't agree, they threw my book bag on the floor and stomped on it, and then you came and they ran away."

So there was such a thing, no wonder he was so quick to go with himself today.

Qiao Mingyuan shook his head with a lost smile, "You're just going to use me like that?"

Jiang Shengze didn't know why, he just looked at him and giggled, "Brother, you're so good looking, when I grow up in the future, will I give you a daughter-in-law?"

The smile on Qiao Ershao's face froze, and just then, the wind blew into the room, and the collection of paintings on the floor flipped and stopped at the last page.

On the drawing paper, it was the balcony in Han Ziyi's bedroom, with a teenager standing on the balcony, while below the balcony, Jiang Shengze, wearing a princess dress, was happily smiling with a tiny school bag on her back.

And on this painting, another person's handwriting clearly appears.

In fact, it was just a very monotonous line, it was in the painting, connecting the hand of the teenager holding the railing with the hand of the pink doughnut, a line that was mistaken for life.
