"Brother Xue, do you still want to play Red Light, Green Light? I can play with you! I can go a long, long time without blinking!" Xiao Lang thought Xue Can hadn't had his fill of the game, which was why he said he didn't have time to teach him how to use his superpower.
Xue Can ground his teeth.
'He had originally intended to use Xiao Lang to curry some favor, which was why he'd been so patient with the kid. Now the boy was clinging to him, but he couldn't just shove him aside, or all his previous efforts would be for nothing.'
Xue Can picked up Xiao Lang. The little boy felt a sudden weightlessness, and before he knew it, his arms were wrapped around the older boy's neck.
Xiao Lang froze, and his eyes instantly welled with tears.
He hadn't been particularly sad when his father passed away, because his dad had always hit his mom and would beat him too. But occasionally, his dad had been good to him.
