Elf Story

"Li Ye, come out for a moment." Yu said on the phone.

"Wait for me." Li Ye simply said and hung up the phone.

Soon, Li Ye came to the entrance of a large shopping mall and saw Yu who had been waiting for a long time.

"What's wrong? Don't you have no money? You brought me here to spend money. My eyes are very high, do you understand?" Li Ye said slightly teasingly,

"I brought you here to buy gifts." Yu smiled slightly.

Gift?

What gift should I buy for you?

"Why do you suddenly want to buy me a gift?" Li Ye was a little surprised.

"You forgot, today is your birthday." Yu turned and left.

Li Ye froze on the spot.

Birthday?

The surrounding fountains shoot out curved water, and the water reflects the dazzling neon light in the sun. It is so beautiful that young people passing by will choose to take pictures here.

However, why is a boy standing there alone?

It seems very sad.

His expression was a little pitiful.

"How did you know today is my birthday? Oh, you investigated me? You actually investigated me!" Li Ye said angrily.

"No, don't you know that the number on the ID card represents the time of birth?" Yu was a little surprised.

"Oh, really?" Li Ye touched his nose.

However, when had she ever seen her ID card?

"What gift do you want to buy me?" Li Ye suddenly asked.

"A gift? It must be precious and unexpected. You wait for me here, and then I will bring a gift." Yu smiled mysteriously.

Li Ye was waiting where he was.

Soon, Yu came back with a gift box.

"What is it?" Li Ye looked forward to it.

"Let's go home first. How about going to your house?" Yu said.

"Okay, I'll drive." Li Ye turned around and left, while the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

The two returned home.

Li Ye opened the gift box and found that it was a birthday cake inside.

"Cake?" Li Ye raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I'm a child? I don't eat cake!"

"The cake is delicious. Look, it's topped with chocolate, fruit, and condensed milk." Yu smiled slightly.

"But the boys' gifts should be game consoles and CPUs. Are you trying to save money? I see through you! You just want to save money." Li Ye's voice became louder and louder.

"What do you know? Cake is the most sincere blessing, and it can be blessed by the elf Minara." Yu smiled brightly.

Li Ye wanted to say something else, but his hands had already begun to eat the cake.

His body was shaking.

"What's wrong?" Yu felt something was wrong.

"From that day on, I never celebrated my birthday again." Li Ye spoke slowly.

"That day?" Yu waited for the next step.

Li Ye raised his head and looked at the golden ceiling. The gorgeous lights were flashing and neon was blooming. Along with the soft music, people felt a little sad.

"I have a younger sister. When I was little, I fed her chocolate at home, but she choked to death." Li Ye sighed.

"That day, my mother ran away from home, and only my grandma was still protecting me. So, from that day on, I never had a birthday."

Yu listened quietly.

"I can understand that she hates me, because I have a life on my back. I killed my own sister with my own hands." The corners of Li Ye's eyes were itchy.

"Li Ye, I" Yu stopped talking.

"Grandma must have a grudge in her heart, otherwise she would never talk to me seriously. From that day on, grandma almost never showed a kind smile in front of me." Li Ye wiped away tears.

"That's wrong!" Yu said firmly.

Li Ye stared blankly.

"Your grandma loves you, because she loves you so much that she doesn't know how to talk to you. She has to support a family and let you grow up, so she can only do this. Silent love is the most precious." Yu said excitedly.

At this time, two figures appeared at the door.

One is Li Ye's grandmother, and the other is a middle-aged woman who is Li Ye's mother.

Even though he only had the impression from childhood, Li Ye still recognized the woman.

"Li Ye." Li Ye's mother spoke slowly.

"Yeah." Li Ye just responded softly.

Grandma Li had a complicated expression, and finally waved her hand, signaling Yu to enter the room with her.

Yu understood what Grandma Li meant, and the purpose was to give Li Ye and Li Ye's mother some opportunities to be alone together.

"Yu!" Li Ye took Yu's hand.

Yu broke away.

"You have to face many things by yourself. People must face their own inner demons before they can grow up!" Yu encouraged.

Li Ye let go.

For an instant.

Li Ye's mother looked at Yu with some disgust, but she quickly hid it.
