Being a bug in a survival game

The snow was falling heavily and the wind was biting.

In the community park that used to be bustling, only bare tree trunks and cold leisure equipment remained, without any trace of activity by adults or children.

Occasionally, there are adults and children passing by. As soon as the children want to go in, they are pulled away by the adults.

While pulling him away, he scolded: "It's winter...what else are you playing with? Go home quickly and warm up..."

"Mom, there are people there too..." The child who was taken away was unconvinced, squinting his neck and pointing to a corner in the snow.

The woman glanced in the direction the child pointed and looked slightly stunned.

She actually saw a chubby little figure, which seemed to be squatting...Whose child was this? Why don't adults take care of it?

Many thoughts of the woman flashed through her mind, and then she turned her head and stopped paying attention to the child on the snow.

...It’s not from her family.

"..."

In the corner of the park, a little boy wearing a white children's down jacket squatted on the snow, curled up his hands and feet, and hugged himself into a ball to keep warm.

"Da da da……"

A series of footsteps sounded, and the little boy looked up again -

I saw a little girl wearing a pink children's down jacket walking towards me.

The little boy stood up quickly.

"Hello... hello." The little boy finally came to see his long-awaited friend. His face, which was a bit cold due to the cold wind, had a slight blush. As always, he greeted him politely.

But the little girl who had just arrived was not as energetic as before, and instead was hesitant to speak.

After the two sat on the swing together for a while, the little girl gently bit her pink lips and said four words with difficulty: "I'm leaving."

"Are you going home so early? But it's cold today, so you might as well go home early..."

Hearing this, the little boy simply thought that the little girl was saying goodbye to him as usual, and then would appear here again the next day.

The little girl shook her head: "No... I moved. The new home is a bit far away. I don't know it yet. I... I might..." I couldn't find the way here.

The little boy's face was stunned, and he let out a dull "Ah", then lowered his head and looked at his new shoes: "Then, where is your home? I...I..." Can I go and play with you? ?

"Let's do this!" The little girl seemed to have made up her mind and suddenly became energetic. "When I grow taller and a few years older and can recognize my way around, I will come back to play with you, okay?"

"Yeah!" As soon as the little boy heard that he would come back to find him, he felt less uncomfortable, and his tone was so excited that he stuttered: "Then, then I, too! When I grow up, my mother can let me go out without worry. Now, I’ll go and play with you.”

"That's a deal!"

"Well! No one is allowed to lie to others!"

"Anyone who lies is a puppy~"

"Pull the hook~"

"..."

The two children, who were still young and ignorant, had a beautiful agreement in their hearts when they parted.

That year, he was 8 years old and she was 6 years old.
