The dripping raindrops fell on the glass, and were blown by the wind into a crooked waterfall.

In the warmly lit store, Qu Wu stared at Ye Kong blankly and asked, "Am I also a monkey?"

"No," Ye Kong smiled, "You were a monkey before, but now you have evolved into a lucky person who can love and be loved by others."

After a pause, she continued, "But it seems that there are only people like this around me recently. Even Du Ruowei is a lucky fool who is loved by her family, so you are still nothing special."

"..." Qu Wu clenched his fists suddenly and looked carefully for evidence of her duplicity in her eyes.

But the girl kept looking straight at her, with an indifferent expression and eyes, as clear and open as glass beads, making it easy to tell that everything she said was from the truth.

Cruel, cold, and even innocent and pure truth.

Qu Wu moved his lips, and after a long while he spoke with difficulty: "Then...how do you treat the Ye family, your mother, father, and sister..."

Ye Kong exclaimed, "Ah!" "They are just like you..."

After blurting it out, she paused, pondered for a moment, and then changed her words: "Maybe I'm still a step behind you. After all, between you and I, there are at least many years of memories. As for me and them, well..."

She thought for a moment, then chose her words carefully. "Probably a group of people who have special expectations because of blood ties... Just like stocks, they are stocks that are likely to bring me great wealth in the future, so I have to care about them, always observe their status, evaluate their value, and at the same time give what I can, but..."

She rested her elbows on the table, crossed her fingers, and rested her chin on them. She looked at Qu Wu and said in a calm tone, "But stocks are just stocks after all."

“If one day I find that they absolutely cannot bring me the desired returns, I will throw them away without hesitation.”

"From this point of view... you may be more valuable than them."

Ye Kong said this.

Qu Wu didn't feel happy at all.

Instead, she felt the cold rain outside the window penetrate the glass and penetrate into her bones.

At the same time, Ye Kong's face from an earlier time, when he still looked very young, appeared in front of her.

The girl poked her head out of the broken glass window, which was jagged and hideous like jagged teeth. Her hand was stained with blood from the cuts she made when she broke the window, but she stretched out her hand to her: "Come out."

"Sister, you look older than me, why are you afraid to even climb a broken window?"

"Compared to having cuts and scars on your legs, would you rather be tied up and stay here forever, sister?"

"...Sister, I have already broken off the glass underneath for you, so even if you get cut, it won't be too deep."

"elder sister……"

"elder sister……"

"…I don't have time, idiot. If you don't come out, I'll set you on fire."

"...I have nothing to fear. If I cannot save you, then I will let you die today. It will be considered as saving you and I can give an explanation to others."

"You guessed it right. I am a lunatic. Have you ever seen a normal person in this welfare home?"

“Age has nothing to do with madness, and it has nothing to do with mental illness.”

"On the count of three, two, one, give me your hand or I'll set this house on fire."

"three……"

"two……"

"one!"

"..."

Memories are like a flowing mirror, on which the girl's pale, lonely and cold face vaguely appears.

Those eyes glowed with a fierce light like a wolf cub.

Always looking at everyone with such indifference.

Even after he saved her, hid her, and spent a relatively long time with her, he still never changed.

On the back hill of the Flower Box covered with dandelions, she once asked Ye Shiyi, with whom she had become familiar.

"When you saved me, you said that if I didn't give you my hand, you would burn me. Is that true?"

"if not?"

The girl was lying in a dandelion field with a dandelion in her mouth. She answered in a leisurely and comfortable manner, and you couldn't tell the brutality of her words at all.

"...You are so scary." The skinny girl also sat down beside her and muttered, "You are young, but your heart is like a devil."

"I've said it before, age has nothing to do with good and evil." She said lazily, "I, Ye Shiyi, am a young devil. When I grow up, I will become a devil among adults."

"But you still saved me."

"Don't give me that. Yuanchu asked me to save him. If you want to thank someone, go thank him."

"Then shouldn't I be more grateful to Yuanye? Didn't Brother Yuanchu come to you for help because he wanted to save me?"

“……”The girl stopped talking.

"You really hate Yuanye."

“I don’t hate this feeling.”

"But the behavior you displayed shows that you hate him."

"I don't think so."

"Okay." The girl thought that she was older and should act like an older sister, so she let her go.

After a long silence, he asked, "What are you going to do in the future?"

"What do you mean?"

"You can't stay in the Flower Box forever, can you? This place is already so run-down, and you'll have to grow up sooner or later."

"Do I have to leave when I grow up? I think this place is pretty good, with flowers and grass, and the walls I painted. In the future, I want to paint the entire flower box with flowers. As for the broken house... when it becomes uninhabitable, I'll just use the money to repair it. I have money anyway."

"…But, don't you want to go home? Don't you want to find your family?"

"If there is a home in this world for me, the Flower Box is probably the only one that is infinitely close to this concept... I think if I stay for a few more years, I will be able to get what I really want from the old man and Yuanchu."

"what do you want?"

"…Everyone has something, but I don't have it."

The girl lay in the dandelions, looking at the sky and stopped talking.

When the wind blew, the dandelions on the ground fell down, and the white fluff flew all over the sky.

The piece of grass between the girl's lips was no exception.

The furry white umbrella broke free from the green roots, left, and was blown towards the endless sky by the wind like a rain.

-

The white velvet rain fell heavily, covering the girl's fair face.

Qu Wu, who now has a new name, raised his head from his memories and looked across.

The girl's face is much more mature than before, but many traces of her childhood can still be seen.

Her eyes were still dark, but they contained a lot more emotions than before.

She thought she had changed after finding her family, but it turned out that she had just learned more.

And that sentence "Everyone else has something that I don't have"...

“It turns out,” Qu Wu murmured, “the things that others have but you don’t have are never your relatives.”

A drop of rain condensed into a bead on Qu Wu's hair, swaying and then falling.

Like a tear sliding down her face.

"But Eleven, if, if..." She murmured, "You can't find it in your whole life, and can't get what you want, what should you do?"

"..."

Ye Kong's eyes, which had been as indifferent as the surface of a frozen lake, suddenly showed ripples.

Her eyes darkened and when she was about to say something, the glass window suddenly made a snap.

Ye Kong turned around and saw that it was Ye Tingchu.

She was standing outside the misty window, holding an umbrella, and was leaning slightly over to look at her.

Seeing her looking over, he knocked on the window with his knuckles again and gave her a faint smile, but to Xiao Ye, it could be called a "brilliant" smile.

Ye Kong could tell that her mouth shape was calling her——

Kong Kong, I'm here to pick you up.
