After finishing dealing with Han Fei's matter, it was past two in the afternoon. The sky was filled with colorful clouds, like a child's vivid graffiti full of imagination.
Yan Chiyu and Wu Yue went to Xintiandi for a stroll. They originally wanted to see a movie, but found that most of the good films were still in pre-sale and were scheduled to be released during the National Day holiday.
They couldn't leave empty-handed, so the two chose an animated film called "Gulu Gulu Ball," which started in ten minutes. It seemed to be good since it had a lot of screenings.
"Gulu Gulu Ball" is a lighthearted and dreamlike animated film.
Although the target audience is young, Wu Yue watched it with great interest and ate half a bucket of popcorn.
Cuihua and Tiezhu shared a chair and enjoyed watching.
The two young boys and girls, without any younger siblings, seemed somewhat out of place among the other audience members. But they didn't care; they were simply having a great time.
Halfway through the movie, the image on the big screen suddenly froze. Immediately afterwards, an announcement came over the loudspeaker:
"We apologize, everyone, but the playback equipment has suddenly malfunctioned. We are working urgently to repair it. Please wait a moment." Then, the lights in the screening room came on.
Wu Yue squinted for half a second before opening her eyes again. She then turned to the side, preparing to chat with Yan Chiyu to pass the time while waiting.
The boy suddenly stood up. "I'm going out to answer a phone call."
"good."
Wu Yue nodded. After Yan Chiyu left, she noticed a little boy sitting two seats away, with a cool expression.
It seems... he was alone from the very beginning?
Where are his family members? Why wasn't he accompanied by an adult to the movie? How did the theater staff let him in?
Wu Yue thought about many things, including the possibility that the little boy might not be human. However, the unique human aura emanating from him told her that the child was a genuine living person.
His soft, black curly hair cascaded down his back, and a baseball cap sat askew on his head. His chubby, white face looked quite serious; his eyes were large and beautiful, and he wore Doraemon overalls. He was the kind of boy you'd instantly fall in love with.
They're so cute and chubby; it must feel wonderful to pinch their cheeks.
Perhaps Wu Yue's gaze was too exposed and intense, because the little boy with a stern face finally turned his head and met Wu Yue's gaze.
He blinked, then suddenly his gaze shifted and landed behind Wu Yue.
The boy frowned and puffed out his cheeks in frustration.
So cute! So adorable!
Wu Yue's heart screamed with this desire; she longed to hold this child in her arms!
"elder sister--"
Ahhh, what an adorable baby voice! So clear, so pleasant, so cute!
Wu Yue resisted the urge to die, leaned forward slightly, and listened attentively to the boy's words.
The boy's thick, curled eyelashes fluttered as he said seriously, "There are two moving paper figures behind you. Be careful."
"Um?"
Wu Yue was taken aback.
Cuihua and Tiezhu never exposed themselves in public, so it was impossible for others to see them.
How could this child see?
Subconsciously, Wu Yue gazed intently into the boy's eyes. Those eyes were bright and dark, which should have held the innocence, joy, and purity of a child. But what she saw was loneliness, she saw sorrow.
For a moment, Wu Yue felt an indescribable sensation, as if her heart was blocked by cotton wool.
Wu Yue stood up and sat down next to him. Showing him the utmost kindness, she deliberately lowered her voice, "Hello, little friend. The paper figures you mentioned are my friends; they are my playmates."
"..."
The boy's eyes widened in surprise, and he opened his mouth as if to say something.
Wu Yue was waiting for him to speak, but then she saw him close his mouth, sit up straight, and stare blankly at the darkened screen.
Wu Yue lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on his trouser leg, which was slightly pulled up because he was sitting, revealing a small section of his fair, yet bluish-black ankle.
