[Comprehensive] Love between the two worlds

Daiyu felt that her current situation was very similar to the technique of "leaving the soul" mentioned by those old nuns.She wandered around like a lonely ghost, unable to find direction and purpose.

This is really a strange place, the first sight is a building that has never been seen before, and the style is very unique.The environment here does not seem to be very good, the houses are relatively old, gray and black are the main colors here, it looks a bit depressing, compared with the exquisite and unique Suzhou garden in my home, it is not ordinary.

Moreover, there is also the appearance of the people here, with high noses and deep eyes, blond hair and blue eyes, which are very different from those of the people of this dynasty.Rather, it looked like the faces of Westerners she had seen on snuff bottles.

Could this be some Western country?Daiyu was very flustered when she thought of this.After all, he is still a seven-year-old child. How could he not be afraid when he encountered such a weird thing and was alone in a completely strange world?

No one around seemed to be able to see her, so Daiyu tried to make a sound, but no one could hear her.

Daiyu called her parents a few times in desperation, and when she found no response, she forced herself to calm down and began to carefully observe her surroundings.

She was a smart child, and as soon as she calmed down, she immediately discovered something was wrong.

Daiyu's body had been floating around uncontrollably before, she thought it was irregular and uncontrollable, but now she realized that she had been following a boy all the time.

The boy was about nine or ten years old, with a thin build.Wearing a strange gray and black jacket and pants, it should be the style that people in this place are used to.The expression is gloomy and indifferent, but the facial features are very delicate upon closer inspection.What's more, his black jade-like hair made Daiyu feel a little home-like intimacy.

Daiyu couldn't stay forty or fifty paces away from him, and the young man kept moving, busily packing up some sundries.Therefore, Daiyu followed him and was dragged around all the time.

Daiyu was still flustered at first, but following the young man's non-stop movements, under such a regularity, she gradually became much calmer than before.She kept silent, just watched the young man keep packing things, and guessed the purpose of these things in her heart.

After tidying up for nearly an hour, the boy stopped.Sitting on the threshold of the small gate in the small yard, he took out a small metal object and looked at it.

Daiyu couldn't recognize what it was, so she looked elsewhere.

"It's really weird." Daiyu wondered, "Why would I follow this person alone? Could it be that I have some trace of origin with him?"

The nurse and some old servants always like to tell some folk legends.It is often said that after some people die, they will turn into ghosts to repay their kindness.Could it be that she died to repay the kindness of this Western boy?The more Daiyu thought about it, the more strange she became, and finally she couldn't restrain the messy thoughts in her mind.

"Tom Riddle!" came a woman's high-pitched voice, "Tom Riddle, come and see what you've done!"

Hearing this voice, the boy frowned in disgust, and replied, "Here we come."

Daiyu wrung her handkerchief and softly called out "Tom Riddle" like a parrot, but she felt that it was a mouthful, and the pronunciation was neither fish nor fowl.After all, she was still a naive child, and she couldn't hide her worries, so she couldn't help being amused by the strange pronunciation of foreigners.

"Mrs. Cole." Riddle stood up.

"Riddle, why is the storage room I asked you to tidy up more messy than before?" Mrs. Cole, the supervisor, put one hand on her hips tiredly, and the only remaining muscles on her bony face twitched due to emotion.

Riddle looked over her slender body into the storage room.Billy leaned against the door frame, looking at him defiantly.

Riddle looked away indifferently, and said insincerely, "I'm sorry, ma'am."

Daiyu was surprised to find that she could understand what this young man named Riddle was saying.

"I've told you many times." Mrs. Cole held her forehead, "Are you against me on purpose?"

Riddle didn't speak.

"Mrs. Cole." Billy came out from behind her, and despite Riddle's resistance, put his hand under his front. "He's stealing from other people. Look, what's this?"

Billy spread out his palms. It was a tarnished harmonica.

"Oh! Isn't that the harmonica that was lost?" Mrs. Cole looked like she was about to faint. She took care of so many orphans, but this Riddle gave her the most headache. "May God forgive you for your sins. Del, you have noon today, oh no, it’s noon and night, you don’t have to eat, you should pay for your theft.”

Ever since the harmonica was found, Riddle's expression became very gloomy.For the moment he just stared at Mrs. Cole and Billy in silence.

Mrs. Cole trembled under his gaze, she braved her courage and reprimanded him, and then left quickly.Billy stayed where he was, and laughed, "Thief, shameless thief."

Although Daiyu couldn't understand the language of people other than Riddle, she could see the whole process clearly, and after thinking about it for a while, she knew what happened.She clearly saw Riddle tidying up the house for a long time, and Riddle was obviously wronged, and she only felt that Mrs. Cole and Billy were very annoying.However, stealing is not done by a gentleman, and I am a little disdainful to know that the metal gadget I was curious about was originally stolen by Riddle.

But this kind of disdain almost disappeared and turned into sympathy after seeing that Riddle hadn't eaten for two whole meals and could only watch others eat.

From Daiyu's point of view, stealing is certainly wrong, but it is just an insignificant little thing.A half-grown boy like Riddle was just growing up. He looked very thin, and he didn't eat well as usual. There was absolutely no need to punish him like this.

Riddle sat alone on his small bed in a daze, his delicate face was hidden in the shadows, and there was some depression.

Daiyu wanted to comfort him, but firstly, she couldn't show her figure, secondly, she was unfamiliar with the place, and thirdly, she was not very familiar with this young man, so she just looked at him quietly.

What is he thinking?Daiyu pondered.

What is that girl named "Daiyu" doing now?Riddle's thoughts drifted to the dream he had not long ago.

The two faced each other, thinking about each other, but they didn't know that the other was thinking about themselves. For a while, the atmosphere in the room could be called quiet.

However, the tranquility was immediately shattered.

"Hey, little thief Riddle. How about it, are you hungry?" Billy deliberately stuffed a piece of bread in his hand into his mouth in front of him. "This was originally yours, but Mrs. Cole said that I had merit in reporting you, so I gave it to me."

Even Daiyu found his triumphant expression a bit disgusting.Billy was much taller than Riddle, and his intentional provocation with food was similar to bullying the small by the big, and it was really inappropriate. "Little man." Daiyu spat lightly.

Riddle looked up at him: "Go away."

"Aha, I lost my temper. Why, do you still want to use your 'magic' to deal with me?" Billy was sure that Riddle could only move objects the size of a water glass, so he was very bold, "I want to see it, great wizard!"

As soon as the words fell, Billy's whole body was floating and bumping against the roof.

Daiyu was dumbfounded.There was only one thought in his mind, could Riddle actually know magic?

"Put me down! Monster! Let me down!" Billy cried out in terror.At some point, the monster's evil ability strengthened again.

With a "plop", Billy fell to the ground, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he looked at Riddle tremblingly with snot and tears on his face.

"Give me the harmonica." The boy said coldly.Trembling, Billy handed the harmonica that belonged to him to the demon in front of him.

Riddle took the harmonica, walked out of the room without even looking at him.

"Trash." Daiyu heard Riddle say this.

For the first time, she realized that this young man had a pitiful side and a terrifying side.

He was pitiful when he was alone, but always frightening when he was with others.

However, perhaps because Daiyu was always by his side, she always spent more time seeing him alone.Daiyu has always felt that for Riddle, a lonely foreign boy who knows magic, she still mostly understands and sympathizes.

Moreover, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it.Perhaps it is because of his special ability that makes ordinary people afraid that so many people exclude him.

It was already late at night, looking at the boy's frown even in his sleep.Daiyu also gradually fell asleep.

When I wake up again, let me go home and end this ridiculous dream.
