Pulao tiptoed towards Qu's office door, put his ear against it and listened for a while. After making sure there was no sound, he quietly pushed the door open like a little hamster and stuck his little head in. Then, when I saw that there was no one inside, I stretched out my legs and sneaked in.

At this time, I was hiding under Qu's desk looking for information about the archives from four years ago. I didn't notice Pulao sneaking in at this time. Pulao didn't notice that I was hiding under the desk.

Pulao pondered for a moment, "Master Qu often wanders over to the bookshelves to read. Maybe he'll find something useful."

Then I quietly slipped over to the ancient wooden bookshelf next to me and began to quietly rummage through things. I felt a thick stack of documents under the desk, and judged whether they were valuable to me based on the information under each piece of paper.

Pulao and I were in this room of less than 100 square meters, each looking for our own things, and neither of us noticed each other. We searched for a long time but found nothing useful, and then I suddenly found a box next to us.

There was also a big iron lock on the box. I looked at this very old lock and began to feel a little curious. Why would such a new box be equipped with such an old lock?

But this is not a problem for me. I used to steal any pocket money that Mr. Hua put in the box. Then I took a pen from the side, took out the pen case, and used the pen refill to grope back and forth in the lock.

Then the lock core suddenly made a small sound and opened at once. I looked at this brand new wooden box with a little curiosity, and then slowly opened it. In an instant, there was a dazzling flash of light.

I was a little shocked when I picked up a pair of clean black underwear placed on the upper layer of the wooden box. Then I looked at the fashion magazines and a pile of underwear in the wooden box, and my brain suddenly stopped working.

Then I couldn't help but step back in panic, and accidentally pushed the chair over and knocked it over, making a loud noise. I quickly leaned out and held the chair in place.

Then I turned around and saw Pulao who was flipping through the bookshelf next to me and looking at me in confusion. Pulao first stared at my face, then turned around and saw the underwear in my hand, and then he was so scared that he opened his mouth to scream. I quickly rushed over and covered Pulao's mouth directly.

I was so panicked at this point that I covered Pulao's mouth tightly and whispered in a panic, "I didn't steal underwear specifically. No, I didn't mean to steal it at all, understand?"

Because Pulao's mouth was covered by my hand, he couldn't say anything (woohoo) and I didn't even notice him as he continued to explain in a panic: "No, you really have to believe me, I'm really not such a dirty person. If I did something like this, I would definitely do it openly and honestly. I wouldn't do it secretly, understand?"

Then I found that Pulao didn't say anything, and then I reacted. I covered her mouth, but Pulao was a construct and could have thrown me away, but she didn't do it. That only proves that she was here to steal things too.

Then I looked at Pulao seriously and said, "You were stealing here too, weren't you? We are of the same nature. You can't scream!"

Pulao nodded helplessly. I then let go of his hand. Pulao immediately jumped out and asked me, "What are you doing here?"

I looked at Pulao's angry face in a panic and said, "I just want to investigate what happened four years ago."

Pulao listened to my words with a bit of impatience: "Huh? I know about that too, why didn't you ask me?"

I felt a little embarrassed for a moment: "I was just afraid that you still cared about what happened five years ago, so I didn't dare to talk to you too much."

When Pulao heard me say this, he felt that what I said was indeed true: "Humph! How could I, Lord Pulao, be such a petty person? I definitely wouldn't care."

I was a little skeptical: "But you made that expression the other day? You should have cared more about me leaving you alone in the theater."

Pu Lao fought back his tears and pretended to be calm: "I was ten years old at the time, a grown-up boy. How could I care about such a small matter? If I cared, how could I have become a Pulao Zhong?"

She was sitting on the ground and looking at me with a very trusting look, but I didn't do the same. The more she trusted me at that time, the more disappointed she was in me in the end, so I could guess that she was pretending to be calm. She was just a child who needed protection at that time.

I looked at Pulao's evasive eyes and said, "I'm so sorry, Pulao!"

When Pulao heard my apology, her petite body trembled for a moment. Two tears slid down her round face. She choked back a sob and replied, "No need to apologize. I know it's not easy for you, big brother. I understand you very well."

I saw that Pulao was so sensible at such a young age. No wonder he became a construct at such a young age. I heard from Ling that Pulao's previous caregiver Hanying also left Pulao. It is hard to imagine what she has been through.

I knelt down and hugged Pulao: "Youyou, I'm sorry!"

When Pulao heard this familiar name, he immediately thought of Sister Hanying's kindness towards him, and of me, who was willing to help her and still remembered my real name.

Youyou hugged my back tightly. "Youyou was really scared at that time. Since we came to the Night Cruise, there were many strangers. Youyou looked for big brother on the Night Cruise for a long time but couldn't find me. People around us looked at me strangely. Youyou ate the food big brother gave me. Even when we sat on the street, those people wanted to drive me away. Youyou could only lie in the sewer pipe for the whole night. Finally, sister Hanying was willing to adopt Youyou, but she left me in the end. Everyone is like this. Mom left Youyou, big brother left Youyou, and finally Miss Hanying left too. Wow! Why did you do this to me?"

As I stroked Youyou's head and listened to her words, I felt very sad in my heart and could only let Youyou cry in my arms.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Youyou!"
