He drank the red liquid in big gulps, a long-lost light flashing in his eyes. He really wanted to cure the disease and survive.
Xiao Youzi woke up slowly, looking a little weak.
"Your name is Xiao Youzi, uncle would like to ask you for a small favor."
Xiao Youzi was still immersed in the pain of the injection and didn't hear what he was saying at all.
"Yuko-chan... could you bring the kids in the photo over to me?"
The man with glasses took out a photo from his pocket and threw it to Xiao Youzi. After Xiao Youzi saw the person in the photo clearly, her eyes widened and she didn't react for a long time. It was Hua... Jinyue.
"Why are you looking for Xiao Yueyue?"
"She was actually my uncle's daughter. When the car accident happened, I thought she had died."
"Unexpectedly, she was rescued and has been living in an orphanage ever since. I feel guilty and have been looking for her for many years, so I'd like to ask you to bring her here so I can meet her."
"She has no relatives."
The man with glasses was glaring when he heard Yuko's words, but he didn't get angry. He just said calmly, "Little friend, what I said just now was just a test of your intelligence. Don't you want to leave here?"
This sentence was like a bomb that exploded in Xiao Youzi's heart. She didn't like the orphanage at all. She couldn't eat enough or wear warm clothes there.
She was often bullied by the children there, but the director simply ignored her complaints. If she made a mistake, he would punish her by making her kneel in front of the statue for an entire afternoon.
At this moment, Xiao Youzi's heart was shaken.
She longed to escape from this cage. Even though she was not sure whether the person in front of her was a god who came to save her or a devil who would lead her to hell, she still wanted to try hard to grasp a glimmer of hope.
With the interests put in the open, she forgot that she was once a suffering child.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course! Bring her over tomorrow night."
The man with glasses smiled faintly and said.
When Hua Jinyue saw her back, she was as happy as if she had gotten a handful of candy.
"Yuuko, so you were really adopted by that gentleman."
Xiao Youzi showed a happy smile on her face and just said "hmm" softly.
"This is some candy I secretly hid today. It's for you, Yuuko."
"Thank you, Xiao Yueyue."
"elder brother!"
The sharp-eyed Hua Jinyue shouted at Ye Qingliu when she saw him coming from not far away, then jumped out of the candy, peeled it, and put it into his mouth.
"Brother, how is it?"
"Mm, very sweet."
"Brother, what have you been doing standing there?"
“Look at the scenery.”
(night)
Everyone in the dormitory is sleeping...
"Xiao Yueyue, can you accompany me to the bathroom?"
Xiao Youzi came to Hua Jinyue's bed and called softly but no one responded.
"If you don't get up, I'll pull off your blanket, Xiao Yueyue."
She said as she pulled back the covers and found the bed was empty.
"Yuuko-chan..."
She heard a voice, and she couldn't be mistaken, the person calling her was Hua Jinyue.
She followed the sound to its source, and found a figure standing quietly in the darkness. Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew away the heavy clouds, and the bright moonlight fell on the figure, making his features even colder.
When Xiao Youzi saw the man's face clearly in the moonlight, her heart unconsciously rose to her throat.
“It’s you…”
She looked at the person in front of her in surprise and spoke out loud.
"Xiao Youzi, I didn't expect you to be so interested in my sister... Why didn't you come and tell me, your brother?" Ye Qingliu smiled helplessly.
"What nonsense are you talking about... Hehe."
Xiao Youzi deliberately pretended to be "I know nothing" in an attempt to get away with it.
"Oh~" The smile on Ye Qingliu's face gradually disappeared, and his expression returned to his usual calmness.
"Can you tell me about it?" Ye Qingliu said, and he came in front of Xiao Youzi without knowing when.
Xiao Youzi looked into those sharp gray-blue eyes, as if they could see through all the truth and reach deep into her heart.
Cold sweat gradually climbed up Xiao Youzi's forehead. Hua Jinyue walked over from a corner, just looking at Xiao Youzi quietly without saying a word.
"Xiao Yueyue..."
The moment Xiao Youzi saw Hua Jinyue coming out, she panicked.
"Tell me what you know, and I'll consider giving you an easy death."
The other party's voice was very soft, but Xiao Youzi heard every word very clearly. Would this boy really kill himself...
Xiao Youzi tried to calm herself down, "I said." Xiao Youzi finally compromised and told Ye Qingliu roughly what happened in the room.
After she finished speaking, Xiao Youzi's fingers were still trembling because of fear. Hua Jinyue gently held Xiao Youzi's trembling hand and spoke to comfort her.
At this moment, the dean appeared in the corridor, and the light from the flashlight in his hand suddenly shone on their faces.
"Are you having a tea party outside?"
"us……"
The three children were silent.
"I've made a rule that you're not allowed to leave the dormitory after lights out at 10 o'clock. Can you explain to me why you're outside?"
"I asked them to come out. The moon outside is so beautiful~"
Ye Qingliu said with an innocent smile.
