"Sister, do you think my chest has gotten bigger?"

“I think I’m still bigger.”

"I don't believe it. Take off your clothes and let's compete."

"Okay."

Oh, oh, oh! No, this memory is wrong! How come such an old memory is mixed in!

Mengmeng quickly covered the eyes of the two children, and then kept fast-forwarding her memory.

Finally, when she saw the girl in rags walking into Tianhai City, time began to flow normally.

Tianhai City was still under development at that time.

It is a key port city for economic development.

The girl formed a sharp contrast with the crowd who were gradually losing their glitz and dressing in increasingly bright and colorful clothes.

She wandered around in various sewers and bridge tunnels, making a living by hunting rats and sucking their blood.

His whole body was filled with a foul odor.

Even if I occasionally walk out of the bridge and want to take a bath in the river.

It can only be done at night.

The two children couldn't help but feel sad when they saw how miserable their mother's past was.

Especially Xia Lingyue, she almost wanted to rush up and give her mother a hug.

But he was stopped by Mengmeng.

"It's not time yet, let's wait and see."

Mengmeng said to Xia Lingyue with a smile.

In fact, she herself was also quite shocked by Xia Yue's past.

Although I saw in the archives that Xia Yue was wandering outside before being picked up by Lin Ze and brought back to the Special Management Bureau.

But I didn't expect that life would be so miserable.

It was a misty night and it was drizzling. It was silent both on and under the bridge.

In the midst of such rain, the girl took off her dirty clothes and stepped into the river barefoot.

Her fair skin was faintly visible in the misty rain.

At this moment, on the shore, there was a figure sitting on the steps of the dam and sobbing.

"who."

The girl was startled, covered her body, and turned her head slightly to look at the shore.

Behind the rain curtain, she saw a petite and thin child crying there.

It seemed that he noticed there was someone in the river, and the boy was so scared that he quickly stood up and tried to run away.

But just after he turned around and ran a few steps, he was pressed to the ground by a strong force.

The girl was wrapped in rags, her long wet hair draped over her chest, and her scarlet eyes looked down at the boy condescendingly.

"Why are you peeking at me?"

She said in a low voice.

"...I didn't know there were people in the river, I'm sorry."

The boy's voice was trembling, and he seemed to be frightened by the girl.

The girl noticed that this was just a child of eight or nine years old, so she could only sigh.

She withdrew her foot from the boy's chest, then leaned over and lifted him up.

"Why don't you go home so late?"

The girl asked coldly.

"...That's not my...home."

"What do you mean?" The girl tilted her head, not quite understanding.

But the boy just sobbed and said nothing.

Helpless, the girl looked around.

There were not many people living on this riverside street, and it was even quieter at night.

She had no choice but to take the boy back to the river and let him sit down.

Then he walked back to his own bridge tunnel and took out some apples and biscuits he had picked up.

The food she picked up was very clean and wrapped in cloth. Although there was not much, it was her most precious wealth in this world.

She thought that the strange boy would look down on her simple food.

But unexpectedly, the boy's eyes flashed with desire the moment he saw the food.

He did not do it directly, but asked the girl carefully in an almost pleading tone: "Can I... eat, sister..."

The girl threw the apple to him and watched him eat it in big mouthfuls. Her throat couldn't help but move, because she knew that the apple was her own treasure and was the most precious food to her in the world.

The boy's eating manner aroused the girl's appetite. She couldn't help but move closer and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Here, leave some for me."

The boy immediately understood what she meant. He stopped what he was doing and handed the half-eaten apple back to the girl.

The girl took the apple and started to eat it without any hesitation.

They shared this simple food, one bite at a time, and also shared each other's warmth and happiness.

Biscuits were passed back and forth, and both people's faces were filled with satisfied smiles.

Their laughter and chewing sounds echoed in the bridge arch, as if it was the most beautiful music in the world.

Time passed by unknowingly, and all the food the girl had collected was eaten up by them.

A satisfied smile finally appeared on the boy's face and his tears stopped flowing.

He looked at the girl, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Can we go home now?" the girl asked softly.

The boy's eyes dimmed, he lowered his head, and said in a low and sad voice: "But... that is not my home, I don't have a home, the sister in that home, she, she scolded me, said I was a wild child, and liked to bully me..."

His words were full of helplessness and despair, and the girl's heart sank.

"If someone bullies you, you beat them back. If you don't like someone, you beat them up."

The boy was stunned by the girl's words.

"B-but... they said no, we can't fight."

"Bullshit." The girl said disdainfully, "If someone bullies you in the future and you can't beat them, come find me."

"Really, sister? You...you don't look like you can fight that well."

The girl was so angry that she pulled him up from the ground again.

"Believe it or not, I will throw you into the river."

"I, I believe it! I believe it, sister!"

After a long time, the boy was ready to leave.

He slowly stood up and asked the girl who was staring at the river in a trance.

"Sister... Can I really find a home of my own?"

The girl opened her mouth slightly but said nothing. After a long time she sighed.

Reaching out her hand, she gently stroked the boy's hair and said softly, "Don't worry, you will find a real home."

In fact, she didn't know whether the boy could find a home.

She didn't even know if she would see him again. This was just a small episode in her long life trajectory.

After all, for today's girl, she doesn't know where her home is.

Watching the boy walk away, the girl sat alone on the steps, humming the ballad she had learned from her father when she was a child.

The two children's eyes were already wet.

Their mother sang this song many times to lull them to sleep.

But who can she rely on when she is lonely?

There was no doubt that the boy was his father.

Even Mengmeng just found out about this.

It turned out that Li Muhan and Xia Yue first met at this time. Perhaps even Xia Yue and Li Muhan themselves had forgotten about this.

But in Xia Yue's heart.

This memory is still buried deep in her heart.

Mengmeng would not tell anyone and would just treat this as a little secret between her and Li Muhan that no one knew about.

The boy never came back.

The girl never thought about the boy again, and everything was as usual.

It was several years later that I saw the boy again.

On a midnight street.

The girl was rummaging through the trash can for food.

Turning her head to look at the girl who was also rummaging through another trash can for food, she was stunned for a moment.

"......This, this is my territory."

The girl was like a wild cat, curling up her thin body, with disheveled hair and looking at the girl.

The girl nodded, and then she stood a little further away. The two of them kept their distance from each other and searched for food.

But Mengmeng discovered unexpectedly.

That girl...isn't she Yin Qi?

Judging from the time, the Cheshire Cat should have been destroyed by now, but Yin Qi is still wandering outside.

It turned out that she had already met Xia Yue at that time.

But the focus is not on Yin Qi.

Instead, when Xia Yue was rummaging through the trash can for some food and was about to leave, she saw several wild dogs chasing a young girl outside the alley.

The girl looked about thirteen or fourteen years old and was very cute.

And a young man was desperately protecting the girl.

"You, you said you would protect me! Quick, chase them away!!"

The girl huddled behind him tightly. At this moment, the boy's clothes had been torn by several dogs and he was about to be knocked to the ground.

Xia Yue's eyes in the alley slowly turned scarlet, and then that breath slowly spread out from the alley.

Several wild dogs were suddenly startled, turned their heads to look inside the alley, and then turned around and ran away in fear.

The girl stood up in shock, glanced at the wild dogs that ran away, and then looked back at the boy.

Finally he snorted coldly.

"Hmph.....it's useless."

After saying this, he no longer cared about the young man and turned away.

The young man slowly stood up and looked into the alley. It was unknown whether he saw Xia Yue or not.

He just nodded slightly towards the alley and said, "Thank you."
