Looking at the hand stretched out in front of him, Xiao Lizi hesitated. There was black mud between his fingers. Can such a hand hold such a clean hand?

"What's wrong?"

"No, thank you." Xiao Lizi put his little hand on his, and his dark little hand clasped his fair hand.

The corners of Violet's mouth raised, "Let's go and have dinner together."

The sky darkened, and the moon crept up quietly, illuminating the two small figures, the older one holding the younger one, "Speaking of which, are you really not going to tell me your name?"

"Little chestnut."

"Ok?"

"My name is Xiaolizi, everyone calls me that."

"Hey, don't you have a real name? Is this your nickname?"

"My mother left home when I was very young, and my father didn't have the heart to name me. Seeing my pointed chin, he just called me Little Lizi for the convenience of calling me."

Violet didn't expect to hear such a story. She tightened her hands hanging on the outside of her thighs and said, "Oh, that's it. Little Lizi, it's a cute nickname. If it weren't for my last name, it wouldn't be easy to give it to me." , I want to give you one directly." After all, Pavani is not a surname that can be chosen casually. Violet laughed dryly and said to Xiao Lizi, "In the future, if I can do it, I will think of a name for you. We both have the same surname, hahaha."

Xiao Lizi was a little frightened, she shook her body, her blue eyes widened and stared at Violet who said something shocking.

"Are you kidding? Can names be given casually?"

Violet's smile faded slightly and she sighed, "That's right. At least before that, I have to become independent quickly. Sorry, just forget this sentence."

"Did I say something wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood."

"No, it's not your problem. It's just that I suddenly thought of something. Let's go quickly. It's been a long time since we left the hotel you mentioned."

"Ah, it's right in front, here it is."

After leading the uneasy little Lizi into the restaurant and asking the clerk to order one of each of the store's signature dishes, Violet turned around and received a dumbfounded little Lizi.

She hesitated and said, "You must have ordered too much...it will be too much to finish. Besides, you spend too much money. If you wait a moment..."

"Hahaha, I can eat your food with peace of mind. I can definitely afford this meal!" After saying that, he walked to the counter, paid for the meal and walked back to the table to sit down. "Okay, let's eat quickly. If you can't finish it, pack it up later and take it back for breakfast tomorrow."

-

After dinner, Violet and Xiao Lizi walked out with the packed food.

"Is it delicious?" Violet asked.

Xiaolizi's eyes lit up, "It's delicious! I have never eaten such delicious food in my life, ah, I have no regrets." Touching his stuffed belly, Xiaolizi looked satisfied.

"Are you satisfied with just one meal? This life is very long. You should set your sights further."

Regarding Violet's words, Xiao Lizi shook her head, "For us poor children, we are really lucky to have this meal. I am already very satisfied. Thank you, Miss Violet!"

A child who is not much taller than a wine barrel said these words seriously, which is really heartbreaking. Violet looked at Xiaolizi who was wearing shabby clothes, and she was already thinking about changing her into new clothes the next time she met her.

"A person's life is very long. You can be more ambitious. For example, eat big meals every time."

"It's impossible. No matter how hard I try to make money, I can't eat such good food every time."

"Give me a little more ambition!" Violet knocked her head with little force, "Although you are still young, who knows what will happen in the future. If you don't even believe in yourself, you will be in trouble for the rest of your life. All you can do is be a sloppy little brat."

Xiao Lizi covered his head that was hit. It obviously didn't hurt, but he just wanted to cry.

"Although I don't quite understand what Miss Violet said," Xiao Lizi's eyes were hot, as if tears were about to flow out in the next second, "Is Miss Violet encouraging me or caring about me?"

"This is the first time that someone is so kind to me despite being a stranger. You are the first and the last one, wuwu." Xiao Lizi stood on the street and cried loudly, which actually scared Violet. She looked around, scratched her head and comforted Xiao Lizi awkwardly, "Ah, please stop crying, please stop crying. When you cry, I don't even know what I did wrong. You, what do you want? I'll take you to eat." Sugar."

"Ugh... I don't want to eat sweets. This is the first time someone cares about me so much. I just want to cry. I'm still a four-year-old child."

"..."

"Uh... hiccup, aren't you going to comfort me?"

"Well, I think what you said makes sense. If you cry, maybe you'll feel better."

"Wow, won't my eyes be swollen when I wait?"

"Yes, it's swollen like a frog. You know frogs, they are small green animals with eyes as big as light bulbs." Violet described to her what the frog looked like.

Xiaolizi choked, stopped crying, and said with sobs, "Then I'd better stop crying."

Violet nodded in agreement, "Well, frog eyes are indeed not pretty. Your eyes are so beautiful, don't be fooled by the ugly... Wow, why are your eyes red again, ah, tears! Tears are flowing out!"

Xiao Lizi covered his eyes, "Stop talking. No one has ever complimented my eyes. You made me cry again."

"Are your tears made from the faucet? You just cried. In a sense, it's quite powerful." Passing the handkerchief to her, Violet held the bag and started thinking. After wiping away her tears, she held Xiaolizi's hand and walked.

"Stop crying. This is the first time I've made someone cry. Even my friends haven't made her cry before." Violet said regretfully.

"What's so regrettable about this kind of thing? It's really hard to be your friend." Xiao Lizi bared his teeth and complained.

"Well, after all, she's not as cute as you, and she probably won't be as pretty as you when she cries. To be honest, your eyes are very beautiful, like the sea. I like the sea the most." Violet's face suddenly softened. In the blue eyes of Little Chestnut Lake.

It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. When Xiao Lizi heard what Violet said, he blinked, trying to see something from the reflection in her eyes.

"The sea, what's good about the sea is water."

Violet was amused by her words, "You are too young. The sea is very wide, and the scene on the other side must be beautiful as well."

"If I can go to sea, I must go and see it."

Olizi looked at Violet who was in fantasy in confusion, and broke her dream, "But we are all children, how can we go to sea, and there are pirates on the sea, they are very vicious, if they are caught, they will definitely die. All gone." Olizi said very horribly. He had never seen a pirate before, he just listened to what others said and pieced together an image of a pirate based on a little impression. "Maybe pirates will eat children, one bite at a time."

"Hahahahahahaha Luke, did you hear that, that little devil said that you can eat children? Eat one quickly and see." Suddenly, several men walked by, some with tattoos on their arms, and some with tattoos on their arms. On the back, there is no shirt on.

Little Lizi was startled and quickly ran behind Violet.

Violet was not shocked, but her body was stiff and unable to move because this person was too tall.

He was about two meters tall, with bulging arm muscles and a pair of slender eyes looking this way. He was wearing very revealing clothes, his top was tied around his waist, and his mouth was grinning.

"Hey, stop it, don't scare the child." The man named 'Luke' was a blond man who was a little shorter than his companions but estimated to be 1.8 meters tall. He had a short beard under his mouth. Dialects with accents from other places, "Child, go home quickly. Also, pirates don't eat children, it's too unpalatable." After saying this, he made a funny face.

"Pfft," Violet was amused, and Xiao Lizi tightened her sleeves, fearing that her voice would offend them.

"Don't worry, they won't hurt us." Comforting her, Violet let go of her worries little by little.

Her calmness made a group of pirates look at her with admiration. Luke looked at Violet, who was wearing a slim-fitting vest, and raised his eyebrows, "Kid, how do you know we won't hurt you?"

Violet puffed out her chest and replied confidently, "I just know. My intuition tells me that you have no intention of harming us. My feeling is very accurate."

Luke was surprised by Violet's childish words, and he turned to look at his partner.

"Hey kid, do you want to hear a story? You said you wanted to see the outside world, right?" After getting Violet's nod, Luke continued, "We are from outside, how about it, do you want to Sit down and talk.”

Violet's eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you really from the outside? What is the outside world like?"

"Seeing as how interesting you are, come on, we plan to have a drink at the pub next door and chat with you by the way."

"Hey, hey, hey, Luke, why do your words sound like kidnapping/selling children? Be careful of being beaten by other parents, hahaha."

"Shut up, I am that kind of person!"

It was obvious that Violet wanted to go with that group of people, but Olizi stopped her anxiously.

"Don't worry, little Lizi. If you're scared, go back first."

"No, they look so fierce. I don't trust you."

"My intuition is not wrong, and I have a hunch that this may be a turning point that changes my life." Violet said sternly, "So, I'm going! Xiaoli, you go back first!" He handed the wrapped bag to her, "Remember to heat this before eating it tomorrow."

After saying that, he walked towards Luke and his group.

Little Lizi couldn't stop her, she stamped her feet on the spot, but didn't dare to get close. Seeing a group of people actually entering the tavern, she gritted her teeth, walked to the wall of the tavern, squatted down, and just stood guard.
