Xiao Lian Hua hurriedly used her small hands to rest on Xiao Hua Mei's shoulders, half hugging her, hoping to warm her, her brows tightly furrowed.
After these few days together, Xiao Lian Hua was the only one who didn't make Xiao Hua Mei feel afraid, faintly aware that Xiao Lian Hua was always protecting her.
Xiao Hua Mei wasn't originally called Xiao Hua Mei; Second Master Liu had given her the name. Before the age of ten, this little girl lived a smooth life, her family well off, her parents affectionate, and she was somewhat timid. Later, she got separated from her family on the street and was kidnapped by Cui Sanniang and her people.
From then on, the nightmare began. Xiao Hua Mei initially cried every day, crying out for her parents. But whenever she cried, Cui Sanniang would beat her, hitting her until she dared not cry anymore, only daring to sob in her dreams. And Second Master Liu was even less humane, tormenting her whenever he had the chance.
