Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

Gu Ling got up early in the morning, took the subway for an hour, and then took a taxi for half an hour before reaching his destination.

In this bustling city made of steel and concrete, there is a place that stands out from the crowd.

The poorest residents of City A live here. It has the most chaotic public security and the dirtiest and most dilapidated houses. This is the village in the city, where the original owner grew up.

The original owner was an orphan who was abandoned at the door of an orphanage as soon as she was born. She lived in the orphanage for ten years.

This orphanage did not bring her any warmth and care. On the contrary, due to lack of funds, it was full of plunder, scheming, and bullying. If one had to say what it brought her, it was probably that it forced her to grow a vicious heart.

The original owner was very thin and small when she was ten years old, but compared to those children who looked only seven or eight years old, she was just thin, which was already very good.

Perhaps because she grew up in an orphanage, she is small but very worldly-wise and shrewd.

In the orphanage, the original owner was the best actor.

Whenever someone came to the orphanage, she would squeeze to the front and act cute and pitiful. She would stuff the first food she got into her mouth and look so pitiful that people felt that she was not eating alone, but that the child was just starving.

Unlike food, she would share the toys she got with other children immediately, not keeping any for herself, showing the true spirit of unity and friendship.

Outsiders praised her for being sensible and selfless, but only the children in the orphanage knew that no matter how expensive a toy is, it is not as good as a damp biscuit.

Such a person is undoubtedly hated, but perhaps because he eats a lot, or perhaps because of good genes, the original owner has been taller than other children since he was young, and his thin body contains infinite power.

She was like a little lion with a strong sense of territory, and she beat back all those who came to cause trouble.

When she was younger she couldn't beat the older kids, but she was smart and could act.

Although her acting skills were a bit immature at the beginning and she was beaten from time to time, she seemed to be a natural actor. Her acting skills improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time and her quality of life improved significantly.

Later, she gained the ability to resist, but no matter how hard a child under ten resisted, her strength was weak.

However, at such a young age, she knew what it meant to be——

Don't die.

Keep plundering, occupying, and then surviving.

This was the original owner’s life for the past ten years.

She was tired, so she ran away.

The original owner left the orphanage at the age of ten and was picked up by a blind scavenger in a village in the city.

She jumped from one mud pit to another, but fortunately, there was a hunchbacked old man in this mud pit who built a small home for her.

……

Gu Ling got out of the taxi carrying a backpack and a huge suitcase. With just one step, he stepped from the clean asphalt road to the ground covered with dirty mud pits.

The old man who adopted her died six years ago, when she was just an adult.

This time she came to visit another old man.

It is not easy to raise a child. The original owner was raised by several elderly people in the urban village. In the past few years, some of these elderly people left with their children, and some passed away. Now there is only this one left.

Gu Ling was wearing a black coat with many small metal parts hanging on it. She had a cold face and her temperament was sharp and stern. The gangsters next to her hesitated and did not have the courage to rob her.

Gu Ling carried his suitcase, walked through the dilapidated and narrow corridor, and stopped in front of an iron door: "Grandpa, I'm Gu Ling, please open the door!"

There was no sound in the room. Gu Ling took out the key from his pocket and opened the door as if he was familiar with the place.

Grandpa was sitting on the sofa watching TV, looking very focused. Of course, Gu Ling would be happier if the TV was not turned off.

Gu Ling put down his things and turned on the TV. At this time, Grandpa seemed to have just discovered Gu Ling and asked hesitantly: "Is it... Ling Ling?"

Gu Ling sat down next to him, held the old man's hand, and said gently: "It's me, I'm back."

The old man was unwilling to leave, and Gu Ling needed to go out to find a job to make money, so she left the urban village and hired a male nanny to take care of the old man at a high salary. She would come back once a month and bring some things for the old man.

The old man's cloudy eyes slowly moved. He smiled at first, then made a bitter face: "Ling Ling shouldn't have come back. This is not good. This place is not good."

Gu Ling did not refute the old man. She just smiled and said, "Grandpa, have you forgotten that today is the day for storytelling? If I don't come, who will tell you stories?"

The elderly people in the urban village sold their belongings to support the original owner's education. After she learned to read, she often read to the elderly people. At first it was textbooks, and later some interesting story books.

The blind old woman who adopted the original owner described the world in her eyes word by word by the original owner. It was also from that time that the dream of becoming a voice actor quietly sprouted.

Gu Ling used her natural voice, which was quite ordinary and had no special features. She didn't even use any vocal techniques.

But the tone is gentle, and the feeling is like a rocking chair swaying slightly on a hot summer evening, like an old cattail leaf fan lazily fanning the wind, like the chirping of insects coming from the fields in the distance.

It is a reality that you can touch as soon as you open your eyes and stretch out your hand.

The old man gradually fell asleep listening to this tone.

The nanny, who had just returned from purchasing daily necessities, carried the old man to the bed to rest, and then stood in front of Gu Ling waiting to be questioned.

"How is Grandpa's health?"

"The old man is old, and you know that his body is deteriorating. Other than that, he doesn't have any illness, but... his memory is getting worse and worse."

Gu Ling looked at the TV playing a program in front of him, picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. As the screen went off, the nanny heard Gu Ling's low and hoarse voice.

"I understand. Take good care of him."

Gu Ling picked up the storybook she had just read, raised her hand halfway and then put it down again. She lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. Finally, she walked out of the room with her empty schoolbag.

The narrow corridor is only wide enough for one person to pass through, and it is pitch dark even during the day.

Gu Ling had good night vision and could vaguely see the road even in the dark. As he was walking, he saw a bright light in front of him.

The person holding the phone for lighting subconsciously raised the phone and suddenly stopped when the direct light source shone on Gu Ling's waist.

Shining light directly into someone's eyes is very rude. Lu Wenzhou suddenly realized this and said, "Sorry."

Just as he was about to retreat, Gu Ling took a few steps to the side and made way for him: "It's okay, you go first."

Lu Wenzhou quickened his pace and walked up the stairs. He was only concerned with keeping a distance from the other person and accidentally tripped on the last step.

The arm that supported him was strong, and as it held him steadily in the dark corridor, it gave him an inexplicable sense of security.

But Lu Wenzhou was just embarrassed at this moment. He subconsciously said, "Fuck!"

Gu Ling probably didn't expect Lu Wenzhou's reaction, so he couldn't help laughing: "Sir, are you okay?"

Even more embarrassing.

Lu Wenzhou stood up with a red face. He could only be thankful that the corridor was dark and the other party could not see his face.

"Feel sorry."

"It's okay, just be careful, sir."

It was clearly an unfamiliar voice, and the other party was a man, but when he heard these words, Lu Wenzhou subconsciously thought of Yan Qi.
