The weather today was a bit chilly, and people couldn't help but tighten their necks.

Qiong was wearing thin clothes, and couldn't help the coldness on her body and hugged herself, which seemed to be warmer.

Her eyes looked at the boy next to her at this time. He was carrying a bag of snacks and drinks, and he was happily holding his mobile phone, looking at something interesting, and he didn't look like he was going to leave at all.

At this time, Qiong's evaluation of Xia Qiu changed from a strange big brother at the beginning, to a strange but kind-hearted big brother, and now... This person is so stubborn...

Why do you care about her? Can't you leave? Or just ignore her like the parents who adopted her.

Qiong's life has never been happy and comfortable. When she was young, her parents died in a car accident. A group of relatives disliked her as a burden and didn't want to take her away. Naturally, Qiong was driven to the welfare home.

But because of her good looks, she was taken away by a childless couple in the welfare home. She thought she would be hungry in the future, but in fact, when the couple knew that Qiong had albinism, their attitude towards her was visibly cold.

Later, the couple had their own children.

From then on, the precocious Qiong knew that she should leave, and there was no need to stay any longer. She became the redundant one in this family.

Qiong didn't want to complain about their cold attitude. It was enough for them to adopt her, but children always couldn't help fantasizing about many beautiful and unrealistic things.

But fantasy can only be fantasy, and it can never defeat the cruelty of reality. In this way, Qiong took away her only rabbit doll and a little money and left that home.

The life of wandering is not easy...

Qiong is already an adult (for audit reasons), so she had to stay in the Internet cafe for a while. The management of Internet cafes in Neon is not like that in China, and there are regulations that minors cannot enter.

Qiong's next days were very difficult, and she lived in the Internet cafe most of the time.

The food there was not that good, but at least she could eat enough and had a place to stay.

Later, Qiong ran out of money and didn't know where to go.

She found a place to sit on the side of the road and planned to live like this for the rest of her life.

Or she found a place where no one was around and died quietly.

Anyway, she was a homeless burden...

Later, Xia Qiu appeared. This strange and kind-hearted big brother asked her why she was here and whether she wanted to go home or call the police.

Qiong was reluctant to go back to that home, and there was no need to call the police... She didn't want to see the contemptuous and disgusted eyes of the parents.

Qiong pretended to be indifferent and didn't want to answer any of Xia Qiu's questions, but the big brother in front of her was very stubborn. If Qiong didn't answer, he would just sit next to her without any intention of leaving.

She ordered two takeouts and ate them with relish.

Damn... Damn big brother!

Touching her hungry stomach, Qiong knew the adults' sinister intentions and had such a trick!

He must want to use food to force Qiong to submit!

But what Qiong didn't expect was that this big brother not only didn't ask Qiong, but directly handed the food to her.

Seeing the delicious food handed to her, Qiong was a little silent.

Don't you want to ask something? Why is Qiong here? Why is she wandering? Why don't you want to go back?

But the only response to her was the boy's warm smile, which made people feel a little sad.

This sudden warmth made Qiong's heart, which had been cold for a long time, have some ripples.

But now the more silent she is, the more restless Qiong is, as if it would be strange if she didn't say something.

"Don't you want to ask me something?"

Finally, Qiong spoke for the first time, and she compromised with this boy.

"Ask what?"

With a smile, Xia Qiu retracted her gaze from the phone and turned to look at Xiao Qiong's profile.

Um...

What a bad adult!

Qiong puffed up her cheeks, snorted and turned her head away, if she didn't want to ask, then she didn't ask!

The night gradually darkened, and the streets were not as lively as they were during the day. It was so cold and deserted that it made people a little scared.

After all, they were still children, and they would always have a fearful side. They would always imagine strange monsters to scare themselves, but...

Looking at Xia Qiu beside him, Qiong felt a little relieved for no reason.

It seemed that as long as he was around, Qiong would no longer be afraid.

Finally, Xia Qiu stopped looking at his phone.

Hmm... it's out of battery.

Pick up the garbage around him and throw it into the trash can.

Patting his neck that was a little sore from looking down for a long time, he said to the little girl beside him.

"Let's go home."

"Okay."

Qiong followed Xia Qiu silently, and the figures of one big and one small gradually stretched and overlapped under the illumination of the street lights."The bathroom is over here. If you want to take a shower, just go in. If you want to change clothes, I'll go to the supermarket later. Are you hungry now? If you are hungry, there are bread and milk in the refrigerator."

Holding her rabbit doll, Qiong listened to Xia Qiu's chattering in silence.

In the end, she didn't know why she followed this big brother. Maybe... maybe because he was trustworthy, or maybe because Qiong felt warmth from him, the kind of feeling of being cared for and cherished.

This was the first time she felt warmth from a stranger since her parents left...

Sitting on the sofa, Xia Qiu put a set of pajamas bought from the convenience store at the door of the bathroom.

He also learned the name of the little girl he brought back.

Kasugano Qiong!

Grass! Qiong sister?

No wonder Xia Qiu had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu when he saw this girl. There is a saying that those who have sisters hate that their sisters are not Qiong, and those who have no sisters hate that Qiong is not a sister.

Unexpectedly, his kind act actually brought Qiong sister back.

He didn't care where Kasugano Yuu went. When Qiong ran away from home, Xia Qiu probably understood some of Qiong's situation.

"Send her back to the Metropolitan Police Department tomorrow."

Xia Qiu thought about it and felt that being able to take Qiong in for one night was the greatest help he could do.

Whether it was a welfare home or foster parents, this was not something Xia Qiu could intervene in.

Qiong, who had just finished taking a bath in the bathroom, wrapped herself in a bath towel and timidly opened the door a little. Then, through the crack in the door, she saw Xia Qiu sitting on the sofa with her head down in deep thought, and then quickly took away the folded clothes at the door.

Qiong, who had finally changed her clothes, took a deep breath, then pushed the door open and walked out.

At night, everything was silent, the moonlight covered the earth like a veil, and the hazy moonlight sprinkled through the clouds.

Qiong lay quietly on the soft and comfortable big bed, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep. Compared to the small and cramped place of the Internet cafe. The bed was not big but it made her feel at ease, as if it could contain all her fatigue and anxiety.

However, there was an inexplicable emotion surging in her heart, which made Qiong unable to really fall asleep. Her heart seemed to be looking for some kind of peace and comfort.

Her eyes could not help but look at Xia Qiu who was sleeping soundly on the floor.

In this small house, the only bed in the room was given to her.
