Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Just tell me if it starts to hurt.” Su Qiao clumsily applied the medicine powder to the wounds on Su Su’s hands and began to wrap them with bandages. Su Su had not said a word since they went upstairs. Su Su simply sat on the bed in a daze like a puppet.

Su Qiao’s heart ached when he thought of how Su Su had sheltered and humbled him so many times before. It was then that Su Qiao suddenly realized that Su Su had not let him down in any way ever since she returned to the Su family.

It was Su Su who had been trying her best to tolerate, help, and trust Su Qiao all this while. Su Qiao’s heart ached when he thought of this. He raised his head to look at the little girl, only to find that her face was covered in tears.

Su Qiao was shocked and immediately stopped moving. He stammered and asked frantically, “W-What’s wrong? Did I wrap the bandage too tightly?”

Su Su pouted. She wanted to say something, but she choked up and sobbed frantically. She tried to control herself, but her tears continued to roll down her face.

Finally, Su Su was able to gather herself and speak, “I don’t know why Fourth Brother blames me for our parents’ deaths.”

Before Su Su traveled back in time, she found that the Su family was in shambles. Her five brothers were adults, and some time had passed since the deaths of their mother and father. So they had never talked to Su Su about it.

But when Su Su saw her fourth brother screaming in anger, she finally realized how much her brothers had suffered after their parents died. Su Zhen even began to blame Su Su for the death of their mother and father.

At the thought of this, Su Su could not suppress the grief and sadness in her heart. Tears continued to roll down her face. She barely knew her parents because of how young she was.

But her brothers possessed precious memories with their mother and father. Su Su could not begin to imagine how sad and depressed they were after hearing that their parents had died.

$u Qiao saw that the little girl was crying even harder, so he hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe her tears. Su Qiao tried to comfort her with a trembling voice, “Mom and dad died in a car accident. It’s not your fault. Please don’t think that way.”

However, Su Qiao’s words failed to comfort Su Su. She did not blame Su Zhen for venting his grievances on her. Instead, she was sad about what had happened to the children of the Su family after their parents passed away.

“Yes, I know. Don’t worry about me, Fifth Brother.” Su Su cried as she reassured Su Qiao. When Su Qiao saw the crying Su Su still managing to care for him, his throat tightened, and his heart softened.

$u Qiao thought of his parents, who had always doted on him and became sad. Su Qiao lowered his head and quietly accompanied the crying little girl.

When Su Jun came upstairs, he saw his two siblings crying together. He frowned and strode forward. He then held Su Su’s injured hands and asked, “How serious are the wounds on Su Su’s hands?”

Su Qiao lowered his eyes and answered sullenly, “The bleeding has stopped, so it shouldn’t be a problem. It probably just hurts.”

Only then was Su Jun able to relax. Su Jun then recalled when Su Qiao had taken Su Su to safety after being kicked by Su Zhen. A sense of relief flashed in his eyes. Su Jun patted Su Qiao on the shoulder and said sincerely, “You did well, Su Qiao. You’re a man now.”

This was the first time his big brother had praised him. Su Qiao raised his head to look at Su Jun in disbelief. When Su Qiao saw the gentle and firm look in his big brother’s eyes, he quickly lowered his head as his ears turned red. Su Qiao only replied briefly, “Thanks, Big Brother.”

“Since Su Su’s hands are injured, she won’t be attending kindergarten today. But it’s already past the time for you to go to school. Do you want to stay home, or do you want to rush over to school?” Su Jun asked Su Qiao while holding the tearful Su Su in his arms.

“TIl stay home,” Su Qiao immediately answered without thinking, But he was worried that Su Jun would think that he was too lazy to go to school, so Su Qiao quickly explained, “I-I’m just worried about Su Su!”

“Okay, I’ll inform your teacher that you won’t be attending school today,” Su Jun replied gently. Su Jun then looked at Su Qiao encouragingly and left with Su Su.

Su Qiao’s face was still flushed red even after Su Jun had left. He looked around helplessly and took the initiative to put the opened medical box back in its original position.

$u Jun carried Su Su back to the room as she laid quietly on his shoulder, not crying or speaking. Su Su had a feeling that her big brother had something to say to her.

When they arrived at Su Su’s room, Su Jun gently placed the little girl onto the small bed. He then used a tissue to wipe Su Su’s face before kneeling in front of her. Then he asked, “It’s been a long while since you returned to us.. Do you miss mommy and daddy?”
