Bryan Huo will still dream about the little pony from time to time.

The brown pony, short and strong, lively and restless, was his favorite horse in the horse ranch which belongs to his father. He used to ride it and follow his mother's white horse.

At that time, Bryan Huo, who was born to be different, still lived under the protection of his mother. There was still innocent smile on his face. His mother carefully guarded him with her tenderness.

If it wasn't for that accident, Bryan Huo is supposed to be happy. Growing up with care in this wealthy family, even if he is troubled by the special body, he is much more fortunate than thousands of children in the world who are in the same situation as him.

If it wasn't for that accident.

The little pony suddenly went crazy on that day. Bryan Huo, without knowing where did the courage come from--probably because his mother's gentleness gave him the courage, wanted to go over to that pony and appease it. A beast is a beast. However humane it may be in ordinary days, when a beast goes crazy, people are supposed to stay away as far as they can.

However, Bryan Huo made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life. The pony's hoofs fell down to him before he could even touch it. He was scared to death. He stood there, motionless.

However, the huge pain that he had imagined did not come. Bryan Huo opened his eyes and saw his mother in front of him. Her beautiful and dignified face was full of blood, and the whole body was stepped on and distorted by the hoofs of the beast...

"!"

Being awakened by the nightmare, Bryan Huo was wet with cold sweat in the dark bedroom, his mother and the mad pony disappeared.

It took him a long time to calm himself down. With sweat-soaked clothes stuck to the body, even wrapped in the quilt, he still shivers with cold.

Bryan Huo is weak and everyone in this family knows. But in midnight, he can't even ask a maid to help him get dry clothes. He can only leave the bed and fetch the pajama in the closet with his body shivering.

When lying back on the bed again, he can't sleep anymore.

His father's affection for his mother is notorious. If it wasn't his mother who gave birth to him, Bryan Huo even suspected that his father would choose to throw him away on the day he was born.

All shield disappeared with the death of his mother. His father hated Bryan Huo for killing his wife. So he has never given him a good look since then. His father is the absolute center of this family, and his attitude towards Bryan Huo represents the attitude of the whole family.

His mother exchanged her life for his life, but she could not expect the happiness afterwards.

...The sky outside the window began to turn bright, and Bryan Huo stood up silently. He is very sleepy, but today is an important day and he does not allow himself to have even a slight gaffe.

Today is the day that the woman who is liked by his father moves in with her only child.

It was not until Bryan Huo has called a few times that a young maid came in and took the suit that had been ironed the night before. He puts on his formal suit. Although it is tailor-made, worn by a 17-year-old boy with a slim figure, it still seems a little loose.

When the maid left, he took off his suit.

Everyone knows what the woman brought back by his father means to the young master of the Huo's. Bryan Huo will desperately strive for his life, the life that his mother exchanged for with her own life.

He is weak, but that is the only thing that he can do for his mother. In order to take care of him, his mother refused the request of his father to have another child for fear that he would have partiality for his younger child. His father agreed only because he loved her. And only because of this, Bryan Huo gets to live in the world as a male.

He became the only heir of the Huo's. Because the industry of the Huo's can be only passed on to men rather than women.

However, his position is at stake now.

Bryan Huo puts back on his silk shirt and flannel pajama pants. The early autumn morning is very cold. He called a few times towards the outside of the door, but no one responded this time.

"……"

Bryan Huo finds out his mother's relics from the corner of the closet. It is a cashmere white cardigan. He wraps himself up with the big cardigan, wanting to get strength from his mother.

He deliberately does not wear formal suit because he wants to warn the two outsiders and let them know that he is the real master of this family.

There are some noises coming from downstairs. The hallway is filled with the sound of messy footsteps--everyone is going to meet them. Bryan Huo slowly walks out of the bedroom.

He walks along the spiral staircase, holding the railing and stepping down step by step. The stairs are narrow and high. They have been existing for over 30 years with this main house of the Huo's. Bryan Huo not only has a weak body, but his eyesight is poor. When he was a child, he almost missed his foot for several times. Every time it was his mother who grabbed him from the behind.

Now nobody will protect him behind, and Bryan Huo must be very careful every time he goes down the stairs.

"Father."

"What the hell are you wearing?"

Bryan Huo stands still in the middle of the stairs. Everyone is watching him.

His father glances at him and turns his head. The tone of his father is cold even when he blames Bryan Huo. Bryan Huo tightens the cardigan that he is wearing. He has long been used to it.

He lifts up his head and scans the two people around his father. The woman, just as the servants have gossiped, looks a lot like his mother. She is liked by his father simply because she resembles his mother in appearance.

When Bryan Huo's eyes sweeps over her only child, he can't help but looking at him for a while.

Sach Xiang is able to draw all attentions even just standing there. He is tall and always stands upright, while Bryan Huo hunches his back subconsciously because he feels ashamed of his body. They make a sharp contrast. He is handsome, but looks steady, gentle, and not aggressive.

Bryan Huo grinds his teeth and withstands the sight from him. This is the crucial first meeting and he cannot lose.

But Sach Xiang smiles at him tenderly.

"So you are Bryan Huo?"

"This is Sach, your elder brother."

The heart starts beating on the chest of Bryan Huo. He doesn't necessarily have to call him brother, but he is bought off by that smile.

It has been such a long time since anyone smiles at him.

"...Brother Sach."

Bryan Huo's cheeks start to burn. Suddenly he dares not to look at Sach's eyes.

This greet lets him fall for a long time into the dust in the relationship between Sach and him.
