What about trust between people!
After leaving the stall, Qiao Yuan quickly disappeared in the market.
Soon after, a figure quietly crawled towards the roof, finally hid by the windowsill, and listened carefully with its ears stretched out.
A lonely man entered the small dark room and closed the door tightly, saying that there was no dirty deal. Qiao Yuan did not believe it.
Since I can't suppress my curiosity, I can just eavesdrop with peace of mind.
"Let's start." said the spirit stall owner.
"Yeah." A heavy nasal voice responded to the other party.
…
"My name is... My name is..."
"If you can't express it, you can learn from the previous ones."
“…”
"I have a friend, let's call him Xiaowei. He never knew who his parents were. He was an abandoned sick baby. It was snowing heavily that day, and he was left in a trash can... Even an adult couldn't survive in such an environment, let alone a baby. But God was kind to him. On the night he was about to freeze to death, an elderly couple found him."
"The elderly couple adopted Wei and gave him a complete childhood. However, as time passed, the abandoned baby's physical illnesses gradually became apparent as he grew up, and he couldn't bear to see the light of day!"
"Once exposed to the sun, the skin will blister, erode, scab, ulcerate, and become extremely painful..."
"While his peers were playing outside in the sunshine, he could only hide in the house with the curtains drawn. He felt very lonely and envied those people outside."
"Because he's a freak, he has no friends at all. Night is his home turf. Only at night can he come out and play where the other kids played during the day, imagining himself as one of them and playing with them."
"Xiaowei has become very withdrawn and unwilling to talk to others."
"Finally... one day, something happened. Xiaowei, who was hiding at home, welcomed his friends. It was the first time he saw people his age come to his house to find him. They wanted to play with him."
"Xiaowei, who had been a loner since childhood, was at a loss for a moment, until his adoptive parents smiled and gestured for him to go out. Then, seeing the sincere expressions on the faces of his peers, he agreed... That day they played in the dark all night long. It was the happiest day he had ever had."
"Later, almost every weekend night, his friends came to hang out with him, and slowly... Xiaowei's heart knots began to unravel. He no longer dwelled on the past, and his inferiority complex faded..."
"The good times didn't last long. His adoptive parents lost their jobs due to their age, and life became tight. At the same time, his friends gradually distanced themselves from him. Xiaowei didn't know what was going on, so he decided to secretly go find his friends with his toys."
"It was a dark night. He arrived early at the place where he used to play and heard his friends talking."
“…”
"Are we still going to play with that monster today? I don't want to play with him anymore. I feel sick every time I'm with him!" A good friend of his said this.
Xiaowei hid aside and was stunned.
He couldn't understand why this happened.
Did I do something wrong?
"Just be patient. His adoptive parents promised to give us a few hundred dollars a week. For the sake of the money, we should continue acting." said a boy.
At this time, another girl looked a little disgusted and kept wiping her arms with a scarf.
"Every time I play with him for a whole night, I feel like my body stinks. If it weren't for the money, who would want to play with that freak? I want to vomit just by looking at him!"
"Now that you mention it, I'm a little scared too. That freak won't infect us, right?"
"No, you have to pay more!"
“…”
Xiaowei, hiding in the corner, silently listened to the ridicule, insults, and greed for money of his friends.
The previous fantasy was completely shattered!
The friendships that they care about are all monetary transactions in their eyes.
They hate themselves so much.
They wish they were dead.
“…”
A few days later, a fire broke out in the area and many people died.
The old couple were probably afraid that this would affect Xiaowei, so they suggested moving.
After all, Xiaowei's playmates, including the adults, died in the fire.
“…”
The new environment brought no changes.
Xiaowei is still a freak in the eyes of his peers.
They teased, bullied, and insulted Xiaowei...
As time passed, Xiaowei's adoptive parents also died of illness.
On the day of the burial, Xiaowei made a decision.
He decided to do some more things and then go downstairs to be with his foster parents.
On the same day, he was about to start the second fire in his life when an unexpected person broke into his life.
Claiming to be his biological parents.
“…”
Hazy and was taken away.
Xiaowei's life changed. His biological parents were well-known local bosses with abundant assets.
He lived a life completely different from when he was a child!
Everyone looked at him not with disgust or disdain... but with respect.
Xiaowei's biological parents cried and told him how much they had missed him over the years.
Back then, because of ignorance and poverty, I had no other choice but to abandon it.
Every day is torture for them.
From now on, they will fulfill their responsibilities as parents.
In the following days, Xiaowei also felt the love of his biological parents, and doctors checked his body every day.
Eat the best food, spend endless money, live in the most luxurious villa...
Whatever he wants to do, he will achieve.
“…”
The only thing that made Xiaowei very strange was that after each examination, the doctor would discuss something with his parents in another room.
