Chapter 7: To a Colorful World (Part I)
"Everyone is an orphan of the whole world, and the whole world is everyone's loneliness. We wander the world alone, thinking about distant thoughts alone, waiting for the people who love you alone, hoping for the embrace of our hearts alone, and arranging the end of life alone. β
This year, it snowed heavily in the city, and the footprints were like nothing, and in a blink of an eye, they disappeared.
With the accidental death of his parents, Ye Xiaolin was sent to an orphanage by his relatives at this time. That year, he was only five years old.
Ye Xiaolin, who suffers from mild depression, does not have many friends, and after entering the orphanage, it seems that everything has fallen silent.
When his parents died, he didn't dare to provoke his relatives, he was afraid that they would be angry with him. And when he heard the news that his relatives were going to send him to an orphanage, his pupils only widened, and that's it.
A curse rang out, and his mind was forcibly pulled from the painful memory to the painful reality.
In these ten years, he lived more difficult than any of his peers. Because he has no friends, no people to rely on.
Most of the children in the yard have been bullying him in a clique since he was a child. He doesn't seem to know how to resist, and chooses to endure silently every time. When the dean came to inspect, he was the only one who was not assigned.
His world seemed to be forever gray and white.
Until one day, the appearance of a man changed all that.
Until now, Ye Xiaolin will never forget that girl, her name is Su Jing. She is a college student volunteer in the city.
Her smile melted into Ye Xiaolin's heart like a warm current, making his heart beat again as if it had died. Light a lamp for his gray world.
As he gradually got acquainted, Su Jing treated Ye Xiaolin like his own brother. Whenever she has free time, she will bring delicious food to Ye Xiaolin from time to time.
But when Su Jing left, this won the jealousy of those children. They asked him what he wanted to eat, but in the face of their threat, Ye Xiaolin seemed to be a different person. He couldn't get up and beat him, so he crushed the food under him. Let them punch and kick him.
Ye Xiaolin endured the severe pain and lay motionless on the ground. He desperately guarded the food, the only light in his gray world.
Gradually, a friend appeared next to Ye Xiaolin, his name was Yu Yu, who was also an orphan. He couldn't bear to see Ye Xiaolin being bullied. Whenever that group of people left, he would accompany Ye Xiaolin.
Gradually, he also became Ye Xiaolin's indispensable friend. Whenever Su Jing brought him snacks, he always took them out and gave Yu Yu a part.
Those people also found out that Ye Xiaolin actually had a partner by his side, and they couldn't help but say that they surrounded Yu Yu in the room where he stayed one afternoon.
Yu Yu's personality was already relatively timid, and he instinctively closed his eyes. The body did not feel the pain. Open your eyes.
He saw the most unforgettable scene in his lifeββββ Ye Xiaolin carried a strong fist for him.
Yu Yu's eyes immediately turned red, and he never seemed to hate himself so much in his life.
On a moonlit night half a year later, Yu Yu escaped while the management was unprepared. He was twelve years old when he went out.
Ye Xiaolin has not been heard from since then. In the past few years, only Su Jing, who has graduated, has been with him.
The children in the orphanage have decreased considerably in recent years, and it seems that all of them have been adopted. Ye Xiaolin has also grown up, and he lives his life day after day, year after year.
Until one day, Su Jing suddenly brought him good news - Su Jing's family decided to adopt him under her bitter pleading.
This made Ye Xiaolin excited for several nights and did not fall asleep. If there were no accidents, his gray world would seem to be colorful.
However, since this time Su Jing left. For some reason, I never came again.
Ye Xiaolin once asked the dean, but the dean casually told him that Su Jing had cancer and had passed away now.
The bitter pain he had accumulated for many years seemed to turn into terrible anger in an instant. Ye Xiaolin did not believe this fact, and he decided to witness everything in person.
Like Yu Yu, he escaped that night, ready to find out about her in the vast sea of people.
With no money in his pocket, he changed his face and worked in an ordinary restaurant on the street near the orphanage, not for the very low pay. Just to see Su Jing again.
He was obsessively convinced that Su Jing would definitely return to the orphanage to see him again.
Night was falling, and his restaurant was about to close. Suddenly, a young girl enters the store.
Facing the woman in front of him whose back was very similar to Su Jing. He suddenly blushed a little, and in his expectant anticipation, the woman turned around, but it was not Su Jing, but Xiyu.
"Crooked?" Xiyu tilted his head and squinted at Ye Xiaolin in front of him: "You guys are still not open here, why have you been staring at me?"
Ye Xiaolin hurriedly apologized, turned to the kitchen, and got up to cook for Xiyu.
With the help of Mo Yan, Xiyu actually learned how to go to a restaurant to eat alone, but it seems that he only learned this......
Xiyu inadvertently noticed that there were tear stains in the corners of his eyes.
Shioyu's appetite is excellent, and the dishes on the table have long been piled up into a hill. Ye Xiaolin sat aside and watched her eat quietly.
"What's wrong?" Xiyu put down the dishes and chopsticks and wiped his mouth cutely: "Do I have acne on my face?"
"No...... No. Ye Xiaolin hurriedly denied.
But her back has always attracted him, Xiyu was very unhappy by him, she put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, pouted and prepared to leave. Ye Xiaolin stopped Xiyu and unexpectedly revealed his life experience and Su Jing's affairs.
In the face of his emotional narration, Xiyu didn't seem to understand. Seeing that he is a superb cook, Xiyu can help him find it himself.
When Ye Xiaolin heard this, he immediately thanked Xiyu a thousand times.
He had been watching Xiyu's back gradually disappear into the street, but he didn't know that someone was already watching him in the dark.
Xiyu did not hesitate this time, and as soon as he arrived at the villa, he opened the boundary book.
At this point, her hand gradually stopped, pausing on a certain page.
"Sister Yu, you're back, how are you?How did you feel when you went out to eat by yourself for the first time?" Seeing Xiyu coming back, Mo Yan went downstairs while brushing his teeth.
"I have something to do now, don't bother me yet. Shio Yu entered the room and locked the door behind her. In contrast, Mo Yan was very helpless, he went upstairs in embarrassment and prepared to sleep.
Xiyu stared at the boundary book for a long time and couldn't calm down, only to see that page, which marked the cause of Su Jing's death: "He killed." β
