Lin Yu couldn't help but lower his fingertips slightly, almost imperceptibly touching Hang Suisui's red mole.
That soft touch sent a shiver through him.
At this moment, Hang Suisui suddenly opened her eyes. Their eyes met, and Lin Yu instantly withdrew his hand.
She was even more beautiful than when she was asleep; her glassy eyes sparkled with a golden light, lively and like an elf.
As soon as Hang Suisui opened her eyes, she was met with a pair of dark, emotionless pupils. She propped herself up with her left hand and sat up.
Lin Yu's gaze swept almost imperceptibly over Hang Suisui's right arm, which was wrapped in white gauze, and he pursed his lips.
The two looked at each other, neither of them speaking first.
Hang Suisui, who was discussing life with 001, noticed that her forehead was a little itchy. 001 told her that the child she had saved the night before had woken up.
He was standing in front of her bed, looking at her.
Hang Suisui thought that the little boy looked quite handsome after he was washed.
His features were delicate, especially his eyes, which were long and slender but not effeminate, with upturned corners that were quite beautiful.
His dark, lifeless eyes made him look somewhat gloomy.
Most likely, they were frightened.
Hang Suisui smiled at the thin child in front of her: "Good morning."
There was no response to her greetings, and the child in front of her remained motionless. Hang Suisui was somewhat surprised, but not much.
She wouldn't hold a grudge against a frightened child; instead, she felt she should be gentler.
Lin Yu was dazzled by the smile and was completely captivated by it.
His dark pupils couldn't even leave Hang Suisui's face, involuntarily drawn into it.
The little girl's clear voice rang out again in my ears.
"It's still early, do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Summer days are often bright early. The rising sun shines through the window, casting dappled light on Hang Suisui's face, making her smile even more radiant and captivating, like a flower blooming in spring.
This is the person who descended from the flames and saved him from the inferno.
Lin Yu lowered his head, his eyes shimmering as if they were stained with ink.
He didn't say anything, went back to bed, bent his legs, and gently hugged a corner of the blanket.
The quilts in the clinic were slightly faded from washing. Although they were quite old, they were very clean and still had the scent of sunshine.
It smells wonderful.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Yu's face was partially obscured by the blankets on the bed.
He lowered his head, his face hidden under the blanket, only his forehead, which was covered by his hair, was visible.
Hang Suisui couldn't see Lin Yu's expression.
Hang Suisui felt a moment of worry. Could it be that she was injured in the fire last night?
She learned from the system what happened after she fainted last night, as well as the conversation between the villagers and the doctor at the clinic.
Lin Yu only choked on the cigarette ash and was not physically injured.
Judging from this situation, could this child be autistic?
[Wait, 001, did his parents really perish in the fire?]
Yesterday, Hang Suisui only saw the child lying on the ground; she didn't see anyone else.
In yesterday's situation, whether she was a Taoist priest or an adult, she could not possibly turn a blind eye.
She has been practicing Taoism with her master since she was a child. Her master always told her that no matter what she cultivates, in the end it is all about cultivating goodness.
Although it is said that a fellow Daoist should die rather than a poor one, that is a fellow Daoist, not a child.
[Yes, host. His name is Lin Yu. Yesterday's fire was caused by his mother. Luckily, he escaped, or you would have become roasted ginseng.]
This wild ginseng possesses miraculous healing abilities and powerful vitality.
But it fears fire the most.
Fire overcomes wood, and Hang Sui Sui will truly turn into ginseng ash.
Hang Suisui silently recited Lin Yu's name and glanced at the thin little boy on the opposite bed.
Yesterday, Hang Suisui did gamble, betting that the house wouldn't collapse so quickly, and that the fire barrier 001 provided would last until she could save the child.
Why did his mother cause the fire?
Why didn't they escape immediately? The house wasn't big; it was a brick and tile house built with wood. Even if it caught fire, they could have escaped quickly.
Recalling yesterday's events, Hang Suisui felt, for some reason, that Lin Yu didn't seem to have any desire to escape.
If they wanted to escape, they could have done so before the fire spread too far.
It was as if he had no intention of escaping at all.
001 immediately answered her question.
[Because her mother tried to strangle him, and his father intervened and pulled her away, that night her mother went mad, set the house on fire, and desperately dragged Lin Yu and his father to their deaths.]
What!?
Even tigers don't eat their cubs!
Hang Suisui couldn't understand why Lin Yu's mother would want to strangle him.
No wonder Lin Yu, who had escaped death, was not overjoyed, but rather as still as a stagnant pool.
It's impossible for anyone not to be heartbroken when hurt by someone they love.
001: [He was picked up by Lin's parents from the foot of the mountain. They had no children and were initially very kind to Lin Yu, but...]
However, when Lin Yu was three years old, a time when he was just beginning to remember things and was also at his most confused, Lin Dongcheng and Wei Min gradually noticed Lin Yu's abnormality.
Back then, Lin Yu wasn't as lifeless as she is now.
Lin Dongcheng and Wei Min are thirty-six and thirty-five respectively. In the village, where everyone gets married very young, those who are still childless at this age are either bachelors or widows.
In a village that's only so big, every household knows about any little thing that happens. The two of them wanted to have a child, and also to avoid people gossiping behind their backs.
