"It seems you are very reluctant." Ye Kong said.

"..." Wen Can was silent for a moment, then looked down at the painting on his phone, "She draws very well - in fact, I have always known that."

"Then why do you hate me so much?" Ye Kong said, shaking his legs.

"..."

"You are silent. Do you really hate her?" She narrowed her eyes and curled the corners of her mouth with a fake smile, but her voice was very sweet. "Master Wen, can't you really tell me why? You know I am also a painter. Even I have to admit that the Undead Demon is a genius..."

She said calmly, "You have always hated her so much, which makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"..."

Wen Can put down his phone, leaned back in his wheelchair, and finally spoke slowly: "Actually, it has nothing to do with her. I know everything. I'm just taking my anger out on her for no reason and making a scene unreasonably..."

Ye Kong's shaking legs slowly stopped, and she tilted her head in a listening gesture.

"Before, on Madam Li's... no, Aunt Zhang's birthday, many people wished her freedom." The man looked at Ye Kong, with some strange emotions hidden in his dark eyes. "At that time, I was thinking, how great it would be if you grew up in Yuzhou since childhood. Someone like you, my mother would definitely be attracted to you, and then associate with you and be influenced by you - just like she is always influenced by the undead monster."

Ye Kong lowered his legs completely.

She looked at the phone quietly and heard the man on the other end say, "You may not understand why my mother, a university professor and a math genius, would like a young fairy tale writer - but that's how she is. Although she studies mathematics, she also madly loves all the spiritual, pure and free souls in the world."

"And in her eyes, the Undead Demon is just like that. Especially after she knew that the Undead Demon was very young, she loved her even more."

"..." Ye Kong blinked silently and looked at him quietly.

"The immortal demon has a fairy tale picture book called "The Book of Sand."

Ye Kong's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"That picture book is very well illustrated. The story is touching, and every picture is full of spirit. Even I think it is amazing. But its content is about family, about a fox family living in the desert, going through hardships, and then reuniting as a family."

"Different people will have different understandings, but since the story is told from the perspective of the little fox, most people's understanding is fixed - The Book of Sand depicts how the unlucky fox family becomes happy through the love of their family, emphasizing the importance of parents to their children, the importance of a complete family to their children, and emphasizing love and happiness."

"During the last two years of my mother's life, she often read this book. Later, I looked through her diary and found that every time she read this book, it was to persuade herself to stay for me, to stay in the Wen family, and to give me a complete and happy family without any difficulties."

There was a slight smile on Wen Can's face, but his eyes were cold and gloomy.

"...Do you think your mother died because of this?" Ye Kong's tone was a little strange, and the look in his eyes was also a little strange.

Wen Can looked at her even more strangely.

He usually regarded Ye Kong as an equal partner, but this time he looked at him as if he was looking at an ignorant child: "How is that possible?"

He smiled and said, "I told you, I was just venting my anger on you for no reason. In fact, even if there was no Book of Sand, my mother might not have left early. In fact, she decided to leave the Wen family because of the Undead Demon."

"In 'Flower of the Galaxy', the wild flower that ran away from home and eventually wandered the universe replaced the little fox and became my mother's favorite fairy tale character." Wen Can said with a smile, "She told me that even a child like the Undead Demon could understand the truth and freedom, but she saw it so late - to be honest, when I heard my mother's decision, I was very grateful to the Undead Demon."

"...but my mother is dead." Wen Can's smile cooled instantly. "I wondered, how great it would be if she had published the book "Flower of the Galaxy" earlier? Would my mother have made a decision earlier? And could she have avoided the ending of death? After reading the diary, I also wondered how great it would be if the immortal demon didn't draw the book "Book of Sand"? Maybe my mother wouldn't ignore her own feelings for me..."

"But these...are all my own unreasonable troubles."

Wen Can said calmly, "The damned one is the culprit. I am a blind burden. How could it be the turn of the immortal demon who doesn't know me or my mother at all? I am like this only because her painting almost saved my mother, so I always feel for her and don't know how to face her."

He looked up at Ye Kong and smiled nonchalantly: "Fortunately, I don't know her."

"..."

Ye Kong was silent for a long time, then said: "But you all cooperated."

"It's just a business cooperation, and it will only happen once. There will be no chance for us to meet in person."

"…If, I mean if, you really meet her in the future, what will you do?"

"..." Wen Can frowned slightly, as if just mentioning the possibility made him feel uncomfortable, but what he said was, "Maybe I should take a copy of "Flower of the Galaxy" and ask her to sign it. After all, my mother has always wanted her autograph."

Ye Kong was silent for a long time, and finally laughed softly: "Really? Then I wish you success."

She hung up the phone, turned over and lay on the bed, looking up at the starry sky outside the window, wondering what she was thinking.

The day before the update of "Heart Erosion", Ye Haichuan suddenly received a call from Ye Zhen at the dining table.

"I caught someone at the Flower Box Orphanage."

Without hiding anything, the man's voice was obviously depressed. "He's sneaky. I asked a few kids and they said he's been here for two days and has been asking about Ye Kong. Dad, has Ye Kong offended anyone in Yuzhou recently?"

Ye Haichuan paused and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Ye Kong opposite him.

The girl noticed his gaze, looked back, thought for a moment, and said, "Can I turn on the hands-free?"

Ye Haichuan turned on the speakerphone. Ye Zhen felt awkward for a moment, but still repeated what he had just said.

"It's hard to explain how someone could find the flower box without making any noise. Who could it be..."

Fang Siwan frowned and thought hard.

Ye Kong drooped his eyelids, not knowing what he was thinking about, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up: "In the past two days, my coffee shop suddenly has a new permanent staff member..."

"Who?"

Ye Kong raised his eyes and looked at Ye Haichuan opposite him, with a wicked smile on his face——
