Chapter 24 Cake

This is... Familiar scent.

In a haze, Yan Qi felt as if something was rubbing in front of his nose, and he slowly opened his eyes, and he was lying on the damp floor.

It seemed to be some dark alleyway, and there was a constant stench all around, and it seemed as if he was rummaging through the bins to see if there was anything to eat.

But unfortunately, all I found was some inedible garbage.

Despair and cold instantly invaded his body, his eyes felt blurry, his body was heavy, so he slowly, leaning against the wall, closed his eyes.

Maybe wake up...

And all of that will go away...

Maybe wake up, parents and sisters, and still be by their side...

But I don't know how long it took... His body gradually regained consciousness, but the cold, damp ground told him that he was still in reality.

The reality is that his family has all left him.

That... This one is rubbing his nose right now... What is the scent of it...

He opened his eyes slightly, and what greeted him was a soft, yellow thing...

It's the cake...

Behind the cake was a dirty but delicate little face, whose owner was crouching beside her with an expressionless face, rubbing his nose against the cake.

β€œ... If you're going to feed me..."Yan Qi said weakly.

"That's where humans eatβ€”" he pointed to his mouth.

The girl didn't seem to understand, and it wasn't until Yan Qi took the initiative to put her mouth on the cake and took a bite that she seemed to understand.

The softness and sweetness of the cake filled Yan Qi's entire mouth, and he felt that he couldn't help but close his eyes to enjoy this moment quietly, as if he was trying to write down the feeling of the cake in his mouth.

Perhaps, this is what adults often call happiness.

"Where did you get it?" Swallowing the cake very reluctantly, Yan Qi asked the girl in front of him.

The girl tilted her head, and continued to rub Yan Qi's face, nose, and mouth with the cake, as if she still hadn't figured out where to eat.

β€œ... Won't you eat it?" Yan Qi took another bite, then looked at the girl.

The girl seemed to understand this, she looked at the bread in her hand, and then at Yan Qi, as if she was hesitating.

"I can't finish it. Yan Qi lied, let alone such a small piece of cake, even if it was a whole engagement cake, he could gobble it up and stuff it into his mouth.

The girl swallowed softly, and then slowly, learning from Yan Qi, put her mouth on the cake, she opened her mouth slightly, tried a few times, and finally took a small bite of the soft and glutinous cake in her mouth.

But then, there was no movement.

"Chew. Yan Qi said, as he looked like he was biting.

"You... It really doesn't look like a human. ”

The girl followed his example, chewing the cake in her mouth, and the originally indifferent face suddenly changed slightly, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and then, those eyes seemed to be about to glow, and instantly became very energetic.

She whined and screamed excitedly towards Yan Qi, as if she wanted to express her mood at the moment.

Yan Qi looked at her and suddenly felt a little funny...

But just as the girl was about to put the cake in her mouth and take a bite again, Yan Qi suddenly noticed that something was wrong...

When he suddenly knew what was going to happen and wanted to be reminded, it was too late.

The little girl with a happy face was suddenly kicked in the head, and the whole person almost flew out and fell on the cold and damp ground.

She was stunned, overwhelmed, but still trying to protect the dirty piece of cake in her hands.

She struggled to look up, and all she saw was a tall figure and a gruff voice.

"Little brute, I stole Lao Tzu's cake, it turned out that I came here to feed your little boyfriend!?" The tall and burly middle-aged man approached the girl while twisting his neck.

"Wait, wait...!" Yan Qi struggled, trying to move his body, but felt weak.

"You little cub can't escape, I'll clean you up later, but now, I'll teach this little girl first, what are the rules!" After speaking, he directly bypassed Yan Qi and came straight to the girl's side.

"......" The girl stared at the man with a muddy face, and her expression had returned to flatness at this time.

"Lao Tzu made you stare at you!" the voice came with a fist and landed on the girl's face.

"Ahh The girl let out a miserable scream, her body instantly leaned back, and her body, which had managed to sit up, fell to the ground again, and blood began to flow from her nose, mixed with dirt, and she looked particularly miserable.

"Little brute, you dare to steal Lao Tzu's shop, it's just tired of being crooked, let me tell you, Lao Tzu killed you today, and no one will ask about you as a little bastard that no one wants. With that, his leather shoes stepped directly on the girl's wrist.

And those slender hands were holding the sludge-stained cake.

"Still don't let it go!?Still want to eat!?" the man raised his foot and kicked it, kicking the cake directly and flying out.

As if stimulated by something, the girl got up and ran towards the place where the cake had fallen, grabbing the cake that was no longer the color of the cake.

"Tsk. When the man saw this scene, he seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, but he has always been a wicked person, even in the face of children, he has never been merciful.

So he walked towards the girl again.

"I'll clean you up first, and then I'll sell you both. Perhaps, that was his ultimate goal.

But the man hadn't taken two steps yet, and he only felt a pain in his back.

Looking back, the little boy who couldn't move just now was actually holding a wooden stick in his hand, which seemed to be a broken chair leg turned over from a trash can, and it was he who smashed himself hard with this thing just now.

"You don't want to fucking live anymore!?"

Yan Qi took advantage of the man's distraction because of the pain in his back, quickly bypassed him, and ran to the girl's side, he looked at the girl's miserable state, did not speak, but directly carried her on his back.

"Let's go. ”

I don't know where the strength comes from, he is carrying a person on his back at the moment, and he can still keep walking, maybe this is the so-called human perseverance...

But at this time, he didn't know at all... The limit of his body, how can it be supported by perseverance, so that he can still persist in action, in addition to the determination to save the girl, and that... Mystical powers.

"Eggs... Suddenly, the girl behind her moved weakly on Yan Qi's shoulder, she seemed to have taken something, and she was still rubbing it against Yan Qi's mouth.

Yan Qi turned his head to see clearly, she was still holding the piece of cake that had become a muddy piece, and his eyes suddenly felt a little moist.

Is this girl so desperate to protect this cake for me to eat...

Suddenly, there was a sound behind him, and Yan Qi suddenly felt bad.

He was not fast on his feet, but at this time, he was carrying a girl on his back, and sure enough, with a burst of angry scolding, there was a huge force.

Yan Qi and the girl were thrown directly against the wall.

The intense pain almost made him faint, but in a trance, he saw the middle-aged man raise his foot again, kick at himself and the girl, and he jerked over, protecting the girl under him.

The man's feet fell heavily on Yan Qi's back all at once, and he felt very heavy... My whole body is very heavy.

The girl was also very weak, and she kept letting out some strange whimperes from her mouth, seeing Yan Qi protecting herself... Her eyes were full of surprise and a... An indescribable look.

Finally, the man seemed to be tired, and he was about to make a break, so he picked up the leg of the chair that Yan Qi had just used to smash himself and aimed it at Yan Qi's head.

Just as he was about to slam down, another figure suddenly burst out and threw the tall man to the ground like a chicken, shouting.

"Sheriff, give Lao Tzu a good stomach!"

Here comes the sheriff...?

But the voice seems familiar...

"Comrade sheriff! I'm a good citizen! Here, these two brutes! Steal my things! They steal my things and beat me!"

But suddenly, there was a bang.

The sheriff actually punched him directly in the face, and the punch was so heavy that the man fell directly to the ground and fainted.

Then, as if he was in a hurry, he squatted beside Yan Qi and the girl, and kept babbling.

"I found you... Kid, I've finally found you... Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, I'm your Uncle Cui... Xiao Yan, I finally found you..."

Uncle Choi... Oh, it seems that there is such a person...

Yan Qi heard the voice calling for him gradually became ethereal, his body became heavier and heavier, his eyes gradually closed, and finally, he lost consciousness.

"Hah!!" As if suddenly recovering from the Death Bell, Yan Qi sat up abruptly and gulped in the air.

Dream... It turned out to be a dream.

Where are you now?

He looked around, and it was no longer the room where he was lying just now.

The room I was in was noticeably more spacious and brighter, and it looked like a living room, with an extremely simple layout and colour palette, and no windows.

The bed I was walking on was in the corner of the room, and next to the bed were several huge monitors and a whole row of buttons.

He didn't know where he had been, his mind was buzzing and confused.

Yan Qi shook his head violently and got out of bed with his body propped up, he found himself barefoot and still wearing that strange tight-fitting suit.

I really want to have a cigarette.

Thinking like this, Yan Qi came to the row of monitors.

There was no picture on the screen, it was pitch black, and it didn't seem to be activated.

He looked at the row of buttons again and saw one of the green buttons that said Star.

"It's a textbook machine, and the start button is always the best thing to find. With that, he reached over and pressed the green button.

Suddenly, with a burst of electronic sound, the screen gradually cooled down.

There are a total of six screens, three on the top and three on the bottom, evenly distributed in a fan-shaped shape.

At this point, the screens appear to be playing live footage of six rooms.
