Unexpected Second Chance at Love [2]

CHAPTER 237: I know who you are

Ting stood in place with his eyes closed. Darkness was all he could see but his ears were still listening to movements.

One....

Two....

Three....

.....

His brows burrow together. Wasn't Liangcai's lunch suppose to reach him by now? Or... can it be that he was punched so hard he died?

Feeling something is not right, he slowly open one eye and was dumbfounded.

"..."

Liangcai stood in the same spot, only difference was this time he had both his arms crossed over his chest. Acting like he didn't Ting's eye open, he nod his head.

"Now brothers! Get him!!"

*splaaaaaashhh!!!*

Ting: "..."

"Ahahahh-!!"

A bucket of ice cold water was poured on Ting, making him froze in place. Both his eyes open and he stare ahead of him loss of all words ever known to him.

Everyone burst into laughter. Jingxu looks at Ting and he shook his head.

Liangcai laughed so hard, he nearly fell but steadied himself. Clearing his throat, he walks up to Ting and headlocks him.

"Bro, did you honestly think I'd punch you over something so small? Haha!"

"....."

Ting's expression held mix emotions of confusion and disbelief. He didn't care that the water was freezing cold, he at this moment could put the pieces together.

Ye Fei walks up to Ting and Liangcai. Following behind him was Xie Yi. He laughs at how sorry Ting looked.

"Bro, even if you had doubted us, we could careless."

Xue Yi nods his head in agreement, "We've all been your shoes when we first came here."

Seeing Ting's confused expression, Liangcai rubs the boy's head and he laughs loudly.

"Here."

A sudden hand holding a towel appears in front of Ting. He takes the towel and turn his head to the person.

Jingxu sighed, "A simple thank you would be very generous."

Lowering his head, Ting faintly smiles, "Thanks."

Looking at the two boys, Liangcai laughs even more. He felt like he was watching a husband and wife quarrel about life.

Using the towel to dry his hair, Ting looks at each person standing beside him, "I'm really sorry for doubting everyone."

One of the older soldiers laughs and pats Ting on the back, "Sorry for what? We are brothers before we are soldiers. Things like this happen all the time."

Hearing these words, Ting lower his head more. He held in the urge to cry. He had really thought he was all alone, but now he understood.

He understood the reason why Yue Ling brought him here. Everyone here might have had different lives, but they all share one thing in common.

And that is, the feeling of wanting a family.

As he thought of this, he looks at everyone again. These people were strangers to him, yet, who would ever think that these strangers would end up being his brothers from now on...

Within time, everyone glance to one another. Thinking of foolish they must be looking right now, in a big roar all together, they laughed to their hearts content.
