When I looked over, I saw that the little boy who had been lowering his head had raised his head at some point.
He pursed his lips and looked at them, his face showing a complicated expression, and hesitantly asked, "She's out?"
Yu Li was a little surprised and raised her eyebrows and asked, "You know her?"
The little boy nodded hesitantly.
"I... met her once."
As the best painter in the orphanage, he has been the focus of attention since he was young.
The dean often told him that he was very smart, so he must choose the way he grew up carefully and never choose those useless things.
waste?
The little boy didn't take it to heart. In fact, the dean didn't need to tell him, because he looked down on those people anyway.
But as time went on, Aunt Lin's initial relief gradually turned into anxiety.
"Why don't you change?" she often asked him.
Then he murmured again: "Could it be that he was affected by some ability?"
She tried to figure out what the problem was, but to no avail.
Finally, one day, she took him to a mysterious place.
The little boy had never seen this place in the orphanage. The tall tower stood under the halo of the sun, exuding an ancient atmosphere. Looking up, the top emitted a faint golden light, just like a church in ancient Greek mythology.
Aunt Lin obviously didn't bring him to see the building. She dragged him directly into the tower, went all the way up to the attic, then knocked on the door and spoke softly to the inside.
"Honey, do me a favor."
Honey?
The little boy couldn't help but look up.
He heard it all. Aunt Lin said on the way here that there was a monster living in here.
But now, she called this monster - dear?
How strange.
He thought calmly, with no emotion in his eyes.
When the door opened, he was stunned when he saw a little girl of the same age as himself inside.
This girl is a monster?
Aunt Lin pushed him forward and said to the girl, "Help me see if there is anything abnormal about this child."
After meeting the other person's gaze, the boy stared blankly at the girl's smiling fox eyes.
The other party replied briskly: "Okay, Aunt Lin, I'll help you take a look."
Then he came in in a daze.
But the little girl who had obediently agreed to Aunt Lin's request a minute ago, closed the door and lay on the bed, closing her eyes and speaking lazily: "What kind of answer do you want me to give Aunt Lin?"
He stood there stiffly, pursed his lips and said, "Is there any difference?"
"the difference?"
The little girl repeated it, then laughed out loud, sat up from the bed and said with a smile, "Of course there is a difference. If you answer wrong, you might die."
He was stunned at first, then he lowered his eyes and stood there, silent for a while before he said, "I don't want to become anyone's face."
The little girl hummed in confusion: "But when we grow up, we can go out, right?"
He raised his head and questioned, "This is just Aunt Lin's statement. Can we really get out?"
Hearing this, the little girl was stunned at first, then suddenly laughed and exclaimed: "Wow, Aunt Lin said you are very smart, it seems you are really smart!"
She propped her chin up and said with a smile: "Then I know how to answer."
She jumped off the bed, came close to him, and curved her fox eyes:
"You can go out, but you have to live longer and choose a powerful adult carefully."
He was slightly stunned, and before he could react, he saw the little girl open the door.
She smiled and said, "I already know how to answer. You can go now."
The little boy didn't know what the other party said to Aunt Lin, but since then, Aunt Lin never looked for him again.
She seemed to have given up on him.
And why did he choose to become Bai Jingmo...
The little boy raised his head, looked at Yu Li, and said word by word: "You are her when she grows up, am I right?"
Although the other one was very similar, he had painted so many people's faces that he had developed an extraordinary sensitivity to the subtle differences in appearance.
This sister is what that little girl will look like when she grows up.
Hearing this, Yu Li raised her eyebrows slightly, and after a moment she said with emotion: "You really are good at painting..."
She looked at the other person's serious expression and asked with a smile, "So you turned into Bai Jingmo because you think he's powerful and want us to help you escape?"
As soon as the words came out, the little boy's body stiffened noticeably.
Choose the best people...
He just did what the little girl said.
His eyes wandered, and he pursed his lips and replied, "I can feel that you are different from the usual people... I won't hold you back. Most importantly, I want to tell her the true face of Aunt Lin."
He missed the best opportunity to speak because he was distracted that day, and since then, he never saw that girl again.
He didn't dare to go look for her, for fear that Aunt Lin would find out.
He knew that the other party had helped him deceive Aunt Lin, so he could only pretend that he hadn't noticed anything and continue to live his life as usual.
Yu Li had no objection. After all, in this copy, Bai Jingmo had to find his younger self. Rather than letting someone else do it, the boy in front of her was the best choice.
And other people did draw what Bai Jingmo looked like.
She looked at Bai Jingmo, the man hesitated for a moment, then nodded at her.
So she lowered her head and said to the little boy: "I can promise you, but there is a request."
The other party raised his head instantly, his dark eyes opened innocently, and his fair face was extremely serious: "Request? What request? Tell me, and I will promise you."
Yu Li laughed twice and slowly curved her eyes.
"Little boy, please rub your face for me."
Little boy:?
His face instantly turned red.
ah???!
A few minutes later, Yu Li finally touched the child's smooth face with satisfaction, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that it would be great if it were real.
If you meet Bai Jingmo when he was a child, he would definitely be even cuter.
She rubbed it a few times and then took it back. Seeing the little boy covering his face with tears in his eyes, she blinked and said, "I didn't use much force, did I? Does it hurt?"
Why does she look like a decent woman being forced?
The little boy shook his head silently.
It doesn’t hurt, but it’s very embarrassing┭┮﹏┭┮.
Yu Li smiled and said, "Okay, it's late, let's go back quickly. Do you need us to take you back?"
The little boy still shook his head, paused and explained: "You might be discovered if you send it."
Yu Li did not insist and nodded: "Then be careful on the road. Don't worry, the marks on your face will definitely disappear by tomorrow morning."
“…”
Seeing the little carrot head leaving in frustration, she couldn't help but laugh softly. Just when she was about to joke with Bai Jingmo, she turned around and met a pair of resentful eyes.
The man pursed his lips, his jawline tense, and stared at her intently.
"Do you like that boy very much? And you don't like touching him anymore when you grow up?"
Yu Li: “…”
Yes, if you bully the younger ones, you should coax the older ones.
