"oh……"
"ah?"
Fourteen-year-old Yan Yin seemed timid yet somewhat naive. When she heard what I said, her first reaction wasn't that I was being indecent. Instead, she stared at me for a while before timidly asking, "Brother, are you hungry?"
I originally just wanted to tease her to cover up the joy of reuniting after such a painful separation, but her words made me feel like I had sand in my eyes.
For a moment, I felt a lump in my throat, but the words wouldn't come out.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Yan Yin hesitated for a moment and then looked at me cautiously and said, "Brother, you don't need to be shy."
"If you're hungry, I... I don't have any money to treat you."
"But I can take you to my house for dinner."
I secretly sniffed, wiped my eyes, and then forced a smile as I said, "I am a beggar."
"You don't mind?"
Yan Yin shook her head, puzzled. "Why should I mind?"
I was slightly taken aback.
Yes, why should we care?
Why do I share the same thoughts as those mercenary people? Why do I think Yan Yin is that kind of person too?
She is not.
From the first time I met her, when she told me not to die, I knew she was different from everyone else.
"Then take me to your house."
I said I would move aside.
It was only then that I realized I was indeed blocking Yan Yin's way, because I was standing at the entrance of a small alley.
"Oh... okay." Yan Yin walked in front of me, but after a while she seemed to remember something, stopped and looked at me, saying somewhat shyly, "By the way, brother."
"Um?"
"My home is rather simple...please...please don't mind!"
“If you don’t mind that I’m a beggar, why should I mind?” I said with a smile.
Yan Yin then smiled, walked ahead of me, skipping and hopping, looking very happy.
At fourteen, she was in the prime of her youth.
But looking at her back, I felt a pang of sadness.
Such a good girl, but in her previous life, because of my existence, her family was destroyed and she died.
Although I know very well that even without my involvement in the previous life, the Xu family would still have carried out the demolition project in this old town area, Yan Yin's mother died indirectly because of me.
"And his father..."
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
At this moment, Yan Yin stopped in front of an old house. Only after looking at it did I understand what Yan Yin meant by "simple". At first glance, the whole old house was out of place with the era of the 21st century, and could even be called old in this old town.
The entire house was almost entirely built of stones from earlier times, and the ground was uneven and muddy, probably because it had just rained.
"Brother, be careful when you walk."
"The ground is a bit slippery."
"good."
"I'll go tell my parents first. Can you wait for me for a moment?"
"good."
I responded twice, and then I saw Yan Yin excitedly run towards a small house with smoke faintly rising from it. Soon after, I heard her voice.
"Mom and Dad, I brought a friend home."
I'd like to invite him to dinner.
Hearing the word "friend," I suddenly felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
If we exclude the previous life, we've only just met in this life, and she already considers me a friend?
But thinking about it carefully, the fact that she dared to bring a stranger home is really typical of her.
only……
"No, being helpful, understanding, and gentle are all good qualities, but you also need to be careful and not be kind to everyone in everything!"
"If I get the chance, I'll have to teach this girl a lesson!"
I was thinking to myself.
The more I think about it, the more I feel it's necessary.
Yan Yin is so adorable; I almost wonder how she has managed to maintain such a kind heart for over twenty years.
Just then, a kind woman's voice came from behind.
