After writing the book, all of Yokohama wanted to hunt me down

〖When I ask you, "What is love?"

You said to me, "Love is me and you. I will love you, always."〗

When Yuan Xuan wrote this, the sound of footsteps behind her made her hand holding the pen pause.The weight on the back of the chair increased, someone leaned over, the white hair slid over her shoulders and fell down, mixed with her pink and purple hair, showing mottled colors.

Like soft flowing water gurgling past, she heard the other party's laughter.

"Are you writing again?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and his fair and slender fingers rested on the letter paper. His black nails made his skin look almost pale.

Yuan Xuan's eyes briefly skipped his fingers: "Yes."

Picking up the letter paper, he looked at it seriously, as if reading each word, and then put it down again after a while.

A little warmth came from the top of her head, and her white and slender fingers gently touched the top of her hair, "Is it a manuscript to be sent to the publishing house?"

Yuan Xuan drooped her eyelids and shook her head gently.

"It's a letter to my brother."

After she finished speaking, the other party lowered his head, kissed her cheek intimately from behind, and rested his chin on her shoulder.

Another person's breath brushed her skin, and Yuan Xuan could see his pale and beautiful side face just by turning her head slightly, the long eyelashes were slightly drawn back, and the expression on her face was almost hazy.

He whispered in Yuan Xuan's ear, "I'm right here, by your side. Even if you don't write a letter, you can tell me directly if you have anything to say."

Although he said so, and really think so.But Yuan Xuan has always been very clear that her brother is not him—not the young man named "Shisawa Ryuhiko" behind her.

Because there has never been a conversation about "love" between her and Shibusawa Tatsuhiko.

Yuan Xuan and Shibusawa Tatsuhiko became "siblings" two years ago. Before they became siblings, Yuan Xuan lived in an orphanage in Yokohama.

The trigger for her to leave the orphanage was a letter, a letter that was originally written to her brother, but could never be seen by her brother again.

Yuan Xuan submitted it to a newspaper, and they published the letter in the newspaper, so she received her first payment for the manuscript.

But later Yuanxuan believed that a large part of the reason for her works to be published was related to the social situation at that time.

It was the end of the Great War, and people were desperate to end this tragic war as soon as possible.Yuanxuan's letter from a child's perspective, describing the life of an ordinary little girl during the Great War, just touched the soft hearts of many ordinary people.

After the newspaper was published, Wada, the editor of the newspaper, visited Yuanxuan's residence, an orphanage in Yokohama, with her manuscript fee and letters from some readers.

The dean of the orphanage is a man with a cold expression all the year round, but in the face of the newspaper editor's visit, his expression softened a little.At noon that day, Wada was invited to stay in the orphanage and have lunch with the children.

During the meal, Wada has been observing the object of his visit - a 12-year-old girl.

She has soft pink-purple hair and looks obedient and quiet with her head down.

Hetian remembered the task the editor-in-chief entrusted to him. His purpose of coming this time was not just to deliver things. At this very special time, they also received some news from the cracks. If there is no accident, the war is very It's almost over.

But the pain caused by the war will not end together. They will stick into people's hearts for a long time and become scars that need to be comforted from time to time.

Words, language, and singing can all be tools to soothe them.The response to that letter after it was published is the best proof.

Sitting at the same table with him, Yuan Xuan, who was quietly eating her own lunch, was completely ignorant of the complicated thoughts of the adults. She only knew that today's lunch was much richer than the previous few days, and there was even soft and fresh bread.

She saved the bread until the end, and slipped it into her pocket without the adults noticing.

——This is the food to be brought to Dun who is in confinement.

Atsushi's full name is Atsushi Nakajima, he is the first friend Yuanxuan made in this orphanage, and also her first friend in "this world".

Earlier, Yuan Xuan did not belong to this world.

When I met Dun, she had just come to this world not long ago, her body was shrinking, and she was in a difficult situation. There was probably only one thing to be thankful for.

She is still "Yuan Xuan".

Name, face, body, no matter how you look at it, there is almost no difference from her when she was 12 years old.

Realizing that there may be other "selves" in other worlds, in countless worlds that she cannot reach or look at, Yuan Xuan almost sheds tears.

Could such a world exist?

The father is not forced to go to the battlefield, and the mother will not die of illness. She can snuggle up to her brother under the warm light and listen to him read the stories written only for her.

The little girl fell into such a fantasy, and her brother's gentle smile seemed to be still in front of her eyes.

But the world she faces now is totally different from what she imagined.

After becoming the "Yuan Xuan" of this world, she also spent her 12th birthday in an orphanage.

Perhaps it was because the soul had gone through a long journey before arriving from one world to another. That night she had a high fever, her memory became blurred, and she was even unable to judge whether the memory in her mind was true or not.

The unsmiling faces of the dean of the orphanage and the nurses made her heart seem to be frozen. The old church-style building was cold and lifeless, as if there was an invisible shadow covering the orphanage, covering everything. There was a layer of darkness.

When she was unconscious, she seemed to hear something.

Thin, small, childish voice.

The other party asked her: "Are you uncomfortable?"

Yuan Xuan tried her best to open her eyes a little bit, and she saw a young face, at most six or seven years old, with round eyes and a worried expression on her face.

When she thought that in this strange world, there would be strange children who would feel worried about herself, Yuan Xuan seemed to draw the strength to live from the other party.

She held Dun Xin's hand that was carefully extended to touch her forehead, and said to him, "Don't worry."

——The feelings generated for others are very precious things and cannot be wasted on meaningless people at will.

But looking at Dun's appearance of crying at any time, Yuan Xuan was unable to speak.

And in the next second, Dun took out a crumpled thing from the pocket of his worn clothes.He put the ball in front of Yuan Xuan, "You must be hungry, right?"

This is the steamed bun that Dun Noon hid.As long as he can remember, he has been living in an orphanage. The dean often refuses to let him eat dinner for various reasons, and locks him in an underground confinement room.

Long-term experience has given him a way to deal with this situation. When it comes to lunch, he will try to sneak food that can be hidden off the table.

Just after being released from the confinement room, but after returning to the room and seeing Yuan Xuan who was crying, Dun felt that this new little girl must have been punished by the dean as well.

Dun looked at the way the thin girl curled up, and he felt that she was like a fragile little animal.

"I can take care of her."

Such an idea suddenly came into my heart.Dun didn't even realize that the other party was four or five years older than himself.

He took out the food he had saved and wanted her to get well soon.

Looking at Dun's expectant eyes, Yuan Xuan couldn't refuse at all. She chewed the food that had lost its original taste and was even a little sour. After coming to this world, her desire to survive suddenly climbed to the peak.

— want to live.

Even in this strange world, there is still at least one person who wants her to survive.

As if the prayer was heard by the gods, Yuan Xuan miraculously recovered the next morning.She stood in front of Dun and told him her name.

Dun was stunned for a moment, because he realized that Yuan Xuan stood up a whole head taller than him.

Yuan Xuan managed to survive until the end of lunch. She carefully maintained the most normal posture and slowly walked towards the garden - in order to prevent others from discovering the food she had secretly hidden.

This method was also taught by Dun, even though he knew that Yuan Xuan was older than him, he still regarded her as someone who needed to be taken care of.

What emerges in Dun's mind is Xuan, who shares his fate with him.

The children have a short walk after lunch, where they are free to move about in the garden, at which point the caretakers hardly care about them.

Yuan Xuan walked slowly against the fence until she was sure that she was out of the sight of the adults, then she ran quickly.

She has to hurry up and send the bread to Dun.

It used to be very smooth to do this kind of thing, but today is different - someone came to her specially today.

Yuan Xuan met the dean on the road, he had a livid face.

In this orphanage, no one can ever own something of their own, let alone the "luxury" in the eyes of children such as paper and pen.

Then how did Yuanxuan's "letter" be written and delivered?

The dean's unquestionable and unshakable authority completely collapsed when Editor Hotan visited.

He is very angry now.

The already frightening face almost became like a ghost, and the anger seemed to overwhelm Yuan Xuan, she was so frightened that she tightly closed her eyes and mouth.

At this moment, Yuan Xuan heard a voice.

"Are you the dean here?"

It is a tone unique to teenagers, revealing a sense of reassurance, which reminds Yuan Xuan of her brother.

Her brother is a very gentle person.

Yuan Xuan still remembered his beautiful long white hair, when she climbed into her brother's arms, they would slide over her skin like cool water.

She mustered up the courage to open her eyes, and what came into her eyes was the white corner of the clothes, and a little bit up, the white hair ends.

At that moment, Yuan Xuan seemed to see "light".
