"Here, you get off here."

"Thank you."

A fifteen-year-old got out of the truck and looked back at the truck driver, who smiled at him, closed the door and left.

This is an unknown place for a teenager, and the boy never knew about it before he came here, but it doesn't matter to him, just leave, the location doesn't matter.

The boy was carrying a bulging bag, wearing a washed white shirt and jeans, short black hair, and a strong body, looking less like fifteen and more like seventeen or eighteen.

Coming down from the highway, the teenager walked a long way and finally found a cheap restaurant. The boy walked in, carefully selected the food inside, combined with his current situation, he ordered a bowl of beef noodles, he can't eat too well or not enough nutrients, he still has a long way to go.

After lunch, the boy asked the owner of the restaurant if he could work here, but was denied.

He had no choice but to leave and continue to look for a place to live.

At the same time, in the same city, above the teenager's head, a pair of eyes were watching him. It was a gray-haired old man, thin and wrinkled, wearing a black coat and a black round hat. His eyes were cloudy, his mouth was shriveled and dull, but he was not hunched over, and his waist was straight. It's a strange combination from any angle.

The old man looked at the boy through the window in a room, and watched the boy leave this street and move to the next, and the old man's figure disappeared from the room.

……

"Can I come here again tomorrow?" The boy asked the man in front of him.

The man stood behind the front desk with a sharpened pencil in his hand. Young, fair-skinned, with a shallow smile on his face, the man leaned forward, his elbows rested on the table, and asked the boy with a smile, "What do you mean?" Is it literal or meaningful? If it's literal, of course, you can come, no one will stop you. It doesn't matter if it's natural or unnatural. ”

"But I don't know if I'll survive today."

"Listen to your tone, it seems like you're in trouble?"

"Yes."

"Would you like to tell me?"

"Nothing is necessary." The boy pondered his words for a moment, then continued, "I'm in a very troublesome situation right now, and I don't know if I'm safe, so I've had to flee. Coming here, I have left the danger zone - I don't know if I really left - but I am in another crisis. I don't have enough money to continue living, and if I can't find a place to sleep tonight, tomorrow I may be in an even bigger crisis for my own reasons. ”

After listening to the young man's words, the man propped up his body, closed his eyes and pondered, his fingers lightly and regularly lit the wooden tabletop, and there was a slight change between his eyebrows, and after a while, he opened his eyes and looked directly at the young man, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"For some reason, I'd love to help you. There is a danger in your words, I think, not only for you, but also for me. It just so happens that I have a place where you can stay for a while, absolutely no danger, absolutely safe, but also absolutely lonely. Can you accept it? ”

"I have no other way out." The boy nodded, the maturity that was extremely inconsistent with his age made people feel reassured, and sighed. "There's no other way, after all, I'm just ......"

"A fifteen-year-old boy. Is that right? ”

"Yes."

"Okay then." The man came out from behind the front desk and walked up to the boy. He is dressed like a teenager, with the same white shirt and white slacks. "We'll have time to get along carefully. Kindness...... So what's your name? ”

"My name?" The young man looked stunned, and then replied affirmatively, "Corot, just call me Corot." ”
