"I don't know if it was just luck, or if A-Yu's words ignited my potential, but anyway, after a brutal fight, I managed to snatch a shivering, bloodied chick from the wolf's mouth. But at the same time, I fainted and developed a high fever. When I woke up, I was already in A-Yu's main house. A-Yu's main house was never for us dirty kids. But from then on, A-Yu stopped letting me fight with the other kids for food, and he stopped letting me sleep with them. Instead, he let me live with him, eat and sleep with him."
At this point, the fifth brother gave her a special look and asked, "If you were someone else, what would you think?"
"Hmm..." Yi thought for a moment, "They might feel it's unfair. Why can you eat and live well with the boss, while I have to compete with others for food?"
The fifth brother smiled helplessly. "Yeah, that's probably what they all think. So, although I don't have to fight with others for food like before, and I have a big, comfortable bed to sleep in, I've also lost those friends. Ayu told me not to pay attention to them, and I really stopped. If life just continued like this, I wouldn't be any different from them, until one day..."
Although Yi Yi didn't know what happened that day, she thought it must have been an unusual day for him.
“Until one day, after I fell asleep, Ayu hugged me from behind.”
The fifth brother didn't go into details about what happened next. But even without him saying it, Yi Yi could guess a thing or two.
She initially thought that what Ah Bin said was a deliberate insult to Lao Wu, but she didn't expect that it was actually true.
“Once you do it once, you do it again and again… I gradually got used to it and started to think it was all natural. Maybe it was because of this relationship that Ayu taught me his illusion magic. The fight you just saw between Abin and the others was because of the illusion magic.”
Fifth Brother thought he would be embarrassed to admit these things. But after saying them, he felt a sense of relief. Perhaps it was because Yi Yi was truly listening to him, without showing any disrespect or contempt.
For a long time, the two remained silent, neither of them speaking again.
Yi Yi didn't know what to say. She wanted to comfort him, but she also felt that he had chosen this kind of life himself and didn't need her comfort.
Why...why are you telling me all this?
"If you keep something in your heart for too long, it will inevitably become damp and infested with insects. You need to put it in the sun to air it out."
A lock of hair was hanging on Yi Yi's forehead, and Lao Wu subconsciously reached out to remove it for her. But his hand froze in mid-air.
What is he doing? If Ayu finds out, it will cause her trouble.
After thinking for a moment, the fifth brother clenched his fist, slowly lowered it from the air, and lifted his foot to walk out.
"Wait a minute." Yi called out to him, "For saving me from that Ah Bin today and telling me your secret, I'll consider you a friend. I won't hold it against you for drugging me before."
"Drug you?" The fifth brother turned around, glanced at her, and said as he walked out, "If I really drugged you, you would have been unconscious by now."
Yiyi: "..."
