Strawberry Pops

11 years ago.

In the winter of white mist, the lights in the corridors are dim.

Han Yang, who is only 11 years old, wears a thin old sweater, huddled in a corner expressionlessly, and does his homework with the help of the voice-activated lights in the corridor.Whenever the corridor was dark, he kicked the ground with his feet.

"despair--"

The light came on, and his eyes were empty like a whirlpool with no end in sight.

As January approached, it was so cold that everything around seemed to be frozen.

There was only one clear voice—"Do you want candy?"

Han Yang raised his head and saw a little oga boy staring at him intently, holding half a pack of strawberry candies in his hand.

There was a faint scent of strawberries in the air, making Han Yang dizzy for no reason.Han Yang is an underage alha, he can't tell whether it's the smell of candy or the smell of pheromones on the other party's body.

Han Yang subconsciously refused the other party to approach.

But this oga boy looked naive and ignorant. After approaching, he introduced himself generously, "My name is Gu Nuan, and I take care of Gu, warm and warm." He squatted down and looked at Han Yang's homework, "You do it every day. Do you do your homework here?"

"..."

"I came to see Granny Zhang with my father today. Granny Zhang used to take care of me in our house. Now she is old and retired~ Dad said we should visit her often. She lives on the third floor."

Han Yang knew this Granny Zhang, she was a kind old man.

Gu Nuan got no response and scratched her head boredly.His pair of amber eyes were clear without any trace of filth, "Brother, it's so cold here."

This "brother" made Han Yang unaccustomed to clenched the ballpoint pen, and the tip of the pen abruptly drew a straight line segment on the exercise book, making an ear-piercing sound.

Gu Nuan exuded a sweet candy smell, directly tempting Han Yang, "Aren't you cold?"

With a keen sense of smell, Han Yang swallowed a mouthful of saliva unintentionally.His stomach was making an unfortunate "grunt" and he hadn't eaten in a day.

In his world, starvation is the norm.

Han Yang was seldom cared about by others, so when Gu Nuan stuffed half a pack of strawberry candies in his hands in a 'wishful way', he frowned.

"This strawberry candy is super delicious!" Gu Nuan laughed after finishing speaking, and helped Han Yang step on the ground, making the voice-activated lights turn on again and again.

This time Han Yang didn't refuse, he silently stuffed the candy into his pocket.

"Thank you." Han Yang's voice was very soft, so light that it was like dust floating, making it hard to hear clearly.

At the same time, there was a faint scent of mint in the air, which was the smell of pheromones on his body.Not noticeable, but in the dead of winter, the cool mint makes one shiver.

Gu Nuan couldn't help shrinking her neck, Han Yang captured this moment, suddenly turned pale, and suppressed his pheromone nervously.

"Is your pheromone mint?" Gu Nuan said curiously, "It's so cool!"

Han Yang's brows did not relax, he was as silent as a mute.

He hated his pheromones.

Therefore, Han Yang ignored the enthusiastic Gu Nuan. He put away his homework and ran upstairs, panting slightly all the way.Downstairs was Gu Nuan calling anxiously, but within a minute, Gu Nuan was taken away by his parents.

Han Yang heard a gentle male voice downstairs caring about Gu Nuan from a distance, "Xiao Nuan, didn't Dad tell you not to run around?"

The sound went further and further away.

Han Yang who hid upstairs was frightened by the unbearable calls from inside the moment he stood at the door of the house.The neighbor next door opened the door, and slapped the door of Han Yang's house twice in disgust, "I'm going to die! Call some dirty people in broad daylight?! Be careful, I'll call the police!"

The voice inside temporarily restrained a little, but after a while, there were small sarcastic laughter again.

The neighbor gave a "bah" and his face was extremely ugly.

She saw Han Yang standing next to him, and saw that he was only wearing an old sweater that was not warm, and she couldn't help sighing heavily, "Did you tell your mother that he was calling for chickens?! You two want to rely on this If such a scoundrel settles down in this city, it is a dream!"

She entered her room and slammed the door behind her.

……

Han Yang squatted quietly at the door, waiting for the door to open.He took out the strawberry candy that Gu Nuan gave him, and ate it sparingly, only taking one at a time, biting half of one.

His fingers circled on the rough ground, and the pads of his fingers were painful.

Suddenly, the door opened.

A sexy woman walked to the elevator in high heels, her face was expressionless, as if the person who shouted wildly just now was not her.

She got into the elevator without looking back.

Han Yang raised his head and smelled a strong scent of perfume.He turned his head and saw a man wearing a loose padded coat came to the door and threw him a banknote, "Go buy three bottles of beer and a pack of cigarettes."

"..."

"Deaf?"

The elevator door opened again, and the woman just now said angrily, "I forgot to take something."

Han Yang took the opportunity to grab the banknotes and ran forward, rushing into the elevator that had just opened.His hands and feet were cold, and the only way to warm himself up was by running.He regretted taking the elevator, he should have taken the stairs as usual.

When the elevator reached the third floor, the door opened.

What caught Han Yang's eyes was a warm family of three.Among them, the child who was yawning in the arms of his alha father was Gu Nuan who gave him candy just now, while his oga father was rubbing his hands for Gu Nuan, for fear of freezing Gu Nuan.

This looks very much like a normal and warm family. It is the thing Han Yang sees the most, but the least he can have.

Han Yang stared blankly for a few seconds, then lowered his head desolately.The banknotes in his hands were wet, as if they could be crushed with just a little force...

The elevator stopped on the first floor, and they walked in tandem.Under the street lamp, Han Yang's thin body was like a straight telegraph pole, as hard as a piece of ice in winter.His shadow was long and narrow, dragging out an endless shadow.

Han Yang stopped where he was, and couldn't help but take another look at Gu Nuan's family.

He doesn't know what he is envious of, but he always has too much curiosity and expectation about the fields he doesn't know.

So, when he saw Gu Nuan's oga father walking towards him suddenly, he was puzzled for a moment.Han Yang subconsciously took a step to the side, afraid of blocking the way of others.

In the end, the other party really walked towards him, and he held a scarf in his hand, which was as red as a strawberry.

Han Yang knew that this was Gu Nuan's scarf, which was still tightly wrapped around Gu Nuan's neck just now.He raised his head dumbly, and saw that the scarf was inexplicably handed to his hand.

The voice next to my ear was neither far nor near, plain and unfamiliar, I couldn't say how close it was, but it was very nice.

"It's too cold, Xiao Nuan is afraid that you will freeze."

There is a faint strawberry fragrance on the scarf, which smells very good.It wasn't until this moment that Han Yang realized that this was the pheromone from Gu Nuan.

Not far away, the window of a private car was half down. Gu Nuan, who was completely awake, lay on the window, waved to him, and smiled brightly, "Brother, goodbye! I will come to play with you next time~"
