"Huh?" Andrew looked at the candy key in his hand with a puzzled expression on his face.

Today, Andrew was in the mood to tidy up his closet. While tidying up his closet, he found an old piece of clothing that had been forgotten for many years. This piece of clothing was what he wore when he was a child. It looked a little old now, but it was full of memories. When he picked up the old piece of clothing, a key suddenly fell out of it.

After Andrew picked it up, he looked at it carefully and finally remembered what it was.

It turned out that this was the key to a candy world that his father made for him when he was a child. This candy world used to be one of Andrew’s favorite places, where he could play and enjoy sweet time.

However, as time went by, Andrew grew up and his life became busy. He rarely entered the candy world and almost forgot its existence.

"I haven't opened it for a long time." Andrew muttered to himself, feeling a little melancholy. He seemed to see himself as a child, laughing and running in that candy world, spending every day carefree. But now, he has grown up and is facing all kinds of pressures and challenges in reality. Those beautiful childhood days seem to be getting farther and farther away from him.

Andrew silently put the key on the table, his thoughts drifting back to the past.

He recalled everything in that candy world, the colorful candy houses, the sweet and delicious candies, and the fun-filled game facilities. He also remembered that every time he left, he would say goodbye to everything there and look forward to coming back next time.

But he didn't know when he stopped going to that candy world and chose to devote his energy to other things. Gradually, he forgot the existence of that candy world and the innocence and happiness it brought.

In addition to the candy world, Andrew also thought of his stable and the five lovely horses. He remembered that he used to visit them often, feed them, comb their hair, and gallop with them on the grassland.

Every time he left, he would say goodbye to them and look forward to coming back next time. But as he grew older, he gradually ignored these animal friends until he completely forgot about their existence.

Andrew sighed and walked out of the room with a heavy heart. He knew that growing up meant losing something, but also gaining more.

Even so, he still hopes to regain his innocence and happiness and find some peace of mind. Perhaps, he should open the door to the candy world again and feel the long-lost warmth.

Or maybe he should go see his horses and tell them that he hadn't forgotten them. In any case, Andrew decided to cherish the present and not let time take away too many precious memories.

..............................................

"Cream, cheese, black tea, cookies, chocolate, do you still remember me?"

Andrew called out the names of the five horses and gently stroked their heads.

After Andrew called out the names of the five horses, he suddenly felt that he had really grown up. The childishness and innocence he once had were far away from him. Even though he was unwilling to admit it, it was still reflected in every aspect of his life. For example, just now, when he was a child, he might have thought that these five names were great, but now when he called them out, he would feel a little hesitant and ashamed.

But although Andrew grew up and became mature, the five horses did not.

The horses smelled the familiar scent of Andrew and, after confirming his identity, they immediately ran happily to Andrew and rubbed his body affectionately with their furry heads.

Andrew reached out and stroked the horses' necks, feeling their warm and soft fur. The horses also looked at Andrew with their gentle eyes, as if telling him that they always remembered him.

Andrew was touched by the horses' loyalty and trust in him. Although a long time had passed, the horses still loved and were close to him.

"Hi, long time no see... I'm really sorry that I forgot about you and made you wait for such a long time." Andrew stroked the neck of one of the horses and said softly.

Andrew really wanted to tell the horses: "I missed you, too!" But when he saw the horses, he suddenly realized that if the magic key had not accidentally fallen, he might have forgotten them long ago.

Thinking of this, Andrew felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart, and he realized his neglect and indifference towards these animal friends.

Seeing the expectant eyes of the horses, Andrew decided to take good care of them from now on and no longer let them be neglected and ignored. He wanted to provide them with a better living environment and spend every day with them.

Andrew took a deep breath and decided to take his beloved horses out for a run to cheer himself up. He jumped onto the back of a tall and strong horse, patted its neck gently, and whispered, "Let's go, buddy!" With his order, the horse galloped out like an arrow, raising a cloud of dust with its four hooves.

The wind whistled past his ears and the sun shone on his body. Andrew felt the long-lost freedom and joy. He enjoyed the excitement brought by the speed, as if all his troubles were left behind. He ran with the horse, feeling the vibration of the earth and the vitality of life.

After running a lap, Andrew returned to the stable. He took out a soft brush and carefully brushed each horse. He gently stroked their hair and carefully cleaned their skin. The horses seemed to enjoy the process and neighed happily from time to time.

"Thank you, my friends," Andrew said softly, his eyes full of gratitude, "It is you who helped me find this happiness again."

I'm really sorry that I have forgotten you all these years, but you still remember me.

Andrew decided that from today on, he would spend more time with these animal friends and no longer let them feel lonely.

...................................................

"What is Andrew doing recently? Is he planning to exercise too?" Naib wondered to himself.

Andrew's behavior has been a little abnormal these days, which makes Naib very confused. In the past, he could always see Andrew in every corner of the manor, but now he is rarely seen. And every time Andrew returns to the manor, his body is wet with sweat, as if he has just experienced an intense exercise.

Naib couldn't help but wonder: Did Andrew finally realize that sitting in his room all day was not a healthy lifestyle, so he decided to start exercising? But Naib quickly rejected this idea because he knew that Andrew was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to change his lifestyle.

Naib shook his head, saying that he didn't believe Andrew would suddenly start exercising. After all, Andrew had always been a lazy person, so how could he suddenly become active?

Naib thought that maybe Andrew was just in a momentary mood and would return to his original state in a short time. However, Naib was still full of expectations for Andrew's changes. If Andrew could really stick to the exercise, it would be a good thing for him.

What the hell!!!

Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Naib felt that he needed to investigate what Andrew had been doing recently? !

In fact, it’s no wonder that Naib is so alert. After all, there are quite a few people in the manor who often cause trouble.

Naib felt that he had to follow Andrew even for the safety of the manor.

..................................................

"Huh~" (Breathe a sigh of relief)

Naib was a little confused. Was it because things had been too peaceful in the past few years that his tracking skills had become rusty? Or was it because Andrew had grown up and become more alert? In short, Naib's tracking plan was discovered by Andrew not long after it was launched.

However, Andrew had no intention of hiding anything. He explained the whole story to Naib clearly.

Fortunately, Andrew just had a sudden urge to experience the fun of horse riding again, and he didn't intend to cause any trouble.

In fact, it's not Naib's fault for having such an idea. After all, Lucas often has a small explosion every three days and a big explosion every five days. This situation is really unbearable.

"Do your best, Andrew. If you have any questions, you can always come to me for advice."

Anyway, horse riding is a relatively safe activity (safe here refers to safety for Naib himself and the entire estate). What's more, don't forget that Naib is from Nepal, and no other nation in the world is better at riding horses than them.

...................................................

"................."

On the way back, Naib kept thinking about what had just happened. He was not thinking about Andrew riding a horse, but about the fact that he was suddenly discovered by Andrew.

It was clearly the same as usual, repeating the actions that he had done countless times before, quietly following Andrew, but he was immediately discovered by Andrew at the next corner.

This is not a good sign. The mercenary who was once smart and capable and completed countless assassination missions perfectly could be easily discovered.

“Is this a good sign or a bad sign?”

Naib muttered quietly.

Because Naib's reactions became slower and his movements became less familiar, this meant that the bloody smell on Naib's body began to fade gradually, and he began to become a living person, and no longer the cold, killing machine he used to be.

But his reaction became slower and his ability decreased, which meant that Naib's fighting ability began to decline. Naib began to feel scared and worried. He was afraid of himself. What if he couldn't protect his family perfectly one day? He couldn't relax. He always had to be the strongest to protect the people he loved.

"It's time to go train."

.................................................. .........

the other side,

Carl and Victor's relationship still relies on written communication, where they communicate about each other's lives and feelings through letters. Although this method allows them to stay in touch, it is far from enough for Carl.

Victor may think this is good and comfortable because he likes this kind of relationship. He enjoys expressing his inner world with words and thinks that this way he can understand the other person more deeply. But for Carl, this is not what he expected.

Carl longed for more interaction and intimacy. He hoped that Victor could play with him, talk to him face to face, and share each other's joys and sorrows. Instead of relying solely on letters to maintain contact, he wanted real companionship and emotional communication.

Therefore, in this letter, Carl bravely wrote a sentence at the end of the letter: "Can we meet? I want to play with you." This sentence is full of expectation and desire, hoping that Victor can understand his feelings and give a positive response. Carl knows that it is not easy to realize this wish, but he is willing to try hard for it.

After Victor saw these words on the letter, his hands began to tremble with nervousness, and he almost tore up the letter on the spot.

He wasn't sure he could ever be a really good friend. In fact, he had never been deeply connected to anyone in his life.

He was not sure what to do if he was not the kind of friend Karl expected him to be. Would Karl cut off all ties with him or even stop writing to him?

He felt extremely anxious and didn't know how to handle the situation.

Perhaps he could seek advice from the "poet". Although he did not know the poet's real name, he always regarded him as a close person.

The Poet thinks the same of Victor. Perhaps he can ask the Poet about this.

Although Victor knew that the "poet" was just an undercover agent sent by the police to try to get information from him, he was still willing to believe that there was some special connection between them.

Perhaps, by communicating with the "poet", he can find a way to solve his problem, regain Carl's trust, and continue this precious friendship.
