I was going to give them to you, but then the incident with the Lin Family happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now is a good time too. You can wear these tomorrow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang didn’t have any warm clothes, so these would be perfect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweet Girl hadn’t expected the clothes to be for her, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same went for Xiao Yang; his eyes welled up too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the two of them were on the verge of crying, Gu Jiaojiao reached out and ruffled their hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright now, no crying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should be happy to get new clothes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s getting late, so you two should get some sleep. I’ve put the clothes on the bed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao placed the clothes beside their pillows, then moved the kerosene lamp to the bedside table to make it easier for them to extinguish it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she had done all that, Gu Jiaojiao left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she left, Sweet Girl’s tears started to fall, one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wiping away her tears, she spoke in a choked voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Yang, I’m so sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t agreed to Lin Jiandong, we wouldn’t have suffered.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If it weren’t for Sister Gu, Xiao Yang might have actually been sold off.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yang shook his head and reached up to wipe away Sweet Girl’s tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he couldn’t speak, he knew his sister had only been trying to do what was best for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweet Girl told Xiao Yang to go to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat there alone, sobbing quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, letting the tears out wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yang’s dark eyes shifted. Compared to Sweet Girl’s open display of emotion, he was far more reserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Sweet Girl really didn’t need his comfort, Xiao Yang calmly lay down under the covers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled the quilt over himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled it right over his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when he was surrounded by darkness did he begin to whimper like a small animal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few sobs, Sweet Girl suddenly felt that something was wrong. She listened carefully and realized the sound was coming from Xiao Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, she wiped away her tears and threw back the covers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Yang, what’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yang...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She anxiously felt Xiao Yang’s forehead and found he wasn’t running a fever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left her confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yang’s face flushed red under her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He was a big boy now. Having his vulnerable side seen like this made his face slowly flush red with embarrassment.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweet Girl just kept staring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’For the first time, Xiao Yang realized just how dense his sister could be.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Couldn’t you just pretend you didn’t hear anything?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yang huffily grabbed the quilt, pulled it over himself, and ignored Sweet Girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, it dawned on Sweet Girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Xiao Yang must have been incredibly touched too; he just didn’t want to cry in front of me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He was crying in secret just now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweet Girl ran a hand through her hair. It was the first time she realized her little brother was starting to have a mind of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Before, Xiao Yang was always so listless. He’d eat when told, drink when told, and work when told.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’His little face was almost always blank.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He never made a peep when Tie Dan bullied him at Lin Jiandong’s home.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But today, he actually cried.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweet Girl felt a surge of joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt more and more hopeful about the days to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went back to her side of the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked up the clothes, treasuring them, and stroked the fabric over and over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fabric of the new clothes was soft, thick, and warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I swear,’ she thought. ’From now on, I will be very, very good to Sister Gu.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When she gets old, I will definitely take good care of her.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ll make sure she has more clothes than she could ever wear.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stroking the fabric for a while longer, her heart finally settled. Only then did she put out the kerosene lamp, close her eyes, and go to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao had no idea the two little ones had been crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her thoughts turned to Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The two of them are getting older. Technically, they should be sleeping separately.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But, considering they aren’t used to this new place, I’ll let them stay together for a few days. Once they’re more familiar with their surroundings, I’ll separate them.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’As for where they’ll sleep, that’s something I’ll need to discuss with my husband.’\u003C\u002Fp>",809,"2026-06-05T18:11:09.760Z",1,"novelbin.me","687b9c24bf0041e9eafb51758c10a0a66197fe1da701032cc3c89dad5d667610","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-256","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-254",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-cover.jpg"]
