The author of the depressing comic book series makes the heroine cry.

The weather today is a bit chilly, making people unable to help but tighten their necks.

Qiong was wearing thin clothes and couldn't control the coldness in her body, so she hugged herself, which seemed to help her feel warmer.

Her eyes now turned to the boy next to her. She saw that he had a bag of snacks and drinks with him. He was holding his phone happily and seemed to be looking at something interesting. He didn't look like he had any intention of leaving.

At this time, Qiong's evaluation of Xia Qiu changed from a weird big brother at the beginning, to a weird but kind-hearted big brother, and now... this person is so stubborn...

Why should I care about her? Can't I just leave her? Or just ignore her like the parents who adopted her.

Qiong's life has never been happy and comfortable. When she was young, her parents died in a car accident. A group of relatives disliked her as a burden and didn't want to take her away, so naturally Qiong was driven to an orphanage.

But because of her good looks, she was taken away from an orphanage by a childless couple. She thought she would be very hungry in the future. But in fact, when the couple knew that Qiong had albinism, their attitude towards her was visibly cold.

Later, the couple had their own children.

From then on, the precocious Qiong knew that it was time for her to leave. There was no need for her to stay any longer. She became the redundant one in this family.

Qiong didn't want to complain about their cold attitude. It was good enough that they could adopt her, but children always couldn't help fantasizing about many beautiful and unrealistic things.

But fantasy is just fantasy and can never defeat the cruelty of reality. So Qiong took away her only rabbit doll and some money and left that home.

The life of wandering is not easy...

Because she was still young and didn't have an ID card, Qiong couldn't get a room, so she could only stay in the Internet cafe for a while. The management of Internet cafes in Japan is not like that in China, and there are regulations that minors are not allowed to enter.

However, it stands to reason that minors under the age of sixteen need to be accompanied by a guardian and cannot stay overnight. Qiong simply hired a girl who lived in the Internet cafe for a long time and asked her to help cover for her so that she could stay in the Internet cafe.

The food there is not that delicious, but at least you can eat your fill and there is a place to stay.

Later, when Qiong had run out of money, she didn't know what to do.

Find a place to squat on the side of the road, and plan to just live like this for the rest of your life.

Or find a deserted place and die quietly.

Anyway, I am a homeless burden...

Later, Xia Qiu showed up. This strange, but kind-hearted older brother asked him why he was there and whether he wanted to go home or call the police.

Qiong was reluctant to go back to that house, and there was no need to call the police... She didn't want to see the contemptuous and disgusted eyes of the parents.

Qiong pretended to be indifferent and didn't want to answer any of Xia Qiu's questions, but the older brother in front of him was very stubborn. He was so stubborn that if Qiong didn't answer, he would just sit beside him and had no intention of leaving.

I ordered two takeouts and ate them with gusto.

Damn...what a damn big brother!

Touching his hungry stomach, Qiong realized the adult's sinister intentions. He even had this trick up his sleeve!

He must be trying to use food to force Qiong to submit!

But what Ling Qiong didn't expect was that this older brother not only didn't make any demands on Qiong, but directly handed the food to her.

Seeing the delicious food handed to her, Qiong was silent.

Don't you want to ask something? Why is Qiong here? Why are you wandering? Why don't you want to go back?

But the only response she got was the boy's warm smile, which made people feel a little sad.

This sudden warmth brought some ripples to Qiong's heart, which had been cold for a long time.

But the more silent it became, the more uneasy Qiong became, as if it would be strange if she didn't say something.

"Why don't you ask me something?"

Finally, Qiong spoke for the first time and she compromised with the boy.

"what?"

Smiling, Xia Qiu withdrew his gaze from the phone and turned to look at Xiao Qiong's profile.

Well……

What a bad adult!

Qiong puffed up his cheeks, snorted and turned his head away. If you don’t want to ask, then don’t ask!

The night gradually darkened, and the streets were not as lively as they were during the day. It was so deserted that it was a bit scary.

After all, they are still children, and they are always afraid. They always imagine strange monsters to scare themselves, but...

Looking at Xia Qiu beside him, Qiong felt a little relieved for no reason.

It seemed that as long as he was around, Qiong no longer felt afraid.

Finally, Xia Qiu stopped looking at the phone.

Hmm...the battery is out.

Pick up the garbage around you and throw it into the trash can.

He patted his neck, which was a little sore from lowering his head for so long, and spoke to the little girl beside him.

"Come on, go home."

"Ah."

Qiong followed Xia Qiu silently. The figures, one big and one small, gradually lengthened and overlapped under the light of the street lamps.

"The bathroom is over here. If you want to take a shower, just go in. If you want a change of clothes, I'll go to the supermarket and buy some. Are you hungry now? If you are, there is bread and milk in the refrigerator."

Holding her rabbit doll, Qiong listened to Xia Qiu's chatter in silence.

In the end, she didn't know why she followed this older brother. Maybe... maybe it was because he was trustworthy, or maybe it was because Qiong felt warmth from him, the feeling of being cared for and protected.

This was the first time she felt warmth from a stranger since her parents left...

Sitting on the sofa, Xia Qiu placed a set of pajamas bought from the convenience store at the bathroom door.

He also learned the name of the little girl he brought back.

Kasugano Sora!

Fuck! Sky sister?

No wonder Xia Qiu had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu when looking at this girl. As the saying goes, those who have a sister hate that their sister is not Qiong, and those who don’t have a sister hate that Qiong is not their sister.

I didn't expect that my kind act would bring sister Qiong back.

He didn't care where Kasugano Yu went. When Qiong ran away from home, Xia Qiu roughly understood some of Qiong's situation.

"Send her back to the Metropolitan Police Department tomorrow."

Xia Qiu thought about it and felt that being able to take Qiong in for a night was the greatest help he could provide.

Whether it is the welfare home or the adoptive parents, this is not something Xia Qiu can interfere with.

After taking a shower in the bathroom, Qiong wrapped herself in a bath towel and timidly opened the door a little. Then, through the crack, she saw Xia Qiu sitting on the sofa, thinking with her head down. Then she quickly took away the folded clothes at the door.

After finally changing her clothes, Qiong took a deep breath, then opened the door and walked out.

At night, everything is quiet. The moonlight covers the earth like a veil, and the hazy moonlight shines through the clouds.

Qiong lay quietly on the soft and comfortable big bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Compared to the small and cramped space of the Internet cafe, the bed was not big but it made her feel at ease, as if it could accommodate all her fatigue and anxiety.

However, there was an inexplicable emotion stirring deep in his heart, which prevented Qiong from truly falling asleep. It seemed that his soul was still searching for some kind of peace and comfort.

Her eyes couldn't help but look at Xia Qiu who was sleeping soundly on the floor.

It was not a big house, and the only bed in the room was given to her.
