…… The sky was covered with dark clouds, obscuring the sun, and it was raining lightly, and the atmosphere was almost overwhelming.

Xiao Xuan, who is only in her early tens, is holding her sister in one hand and holding a small umbrella in the other, standing in the rain.

Xiaoxuan and her sister are waiting for their father, who has just finished work today, and promises to bring a new cake to the siblings because it is her sister's birthday.

Although it seems to be just a very small thing in daily life, this kind of happiness is already precious enough for the Mo family who have experienced those previous changes.

The brother and sister waited like this, and I don't know how long it took, and finally saw their father at the end of the path.

With the cake in his hand, he saw the brother and sister at the door, and then waved happily as well.

But a moment later, a black van suddenly stopped beside Xiaoxuan's father. A group of black-clothed men rushed down from inside and quickly surrounded him.

The man in black in sunglasses at the head said in a deep voice:

"Mo Sheng, you haven't paid off the loan company's arrears before, and you have incurred a lot of interest, and you no longer have enough ability to repay these interests.

But our boss is a good person, help you pay it off, now you come to work under our boss, when to pay back this favor, when to let you go back. ”

Xiao Xuan's father, a man named Mo Sheng, pointed at the other party and said angrily: "You and that loan company are originally the same thing, and the money is just changed from the left hand to the right hand, don't want to use such despicable means to kidnap me to work as a coolie for you!" ”

"And when are you going to pay it back?" The man in black in sunglasses raised his eyebrows.

"Give me a few more months, and I'll have enough money left in no time."

The man in black took out the calculator from his arms, nodded a few times, and said, "In a few months, you won't be the same as now, according to compound interest, you need to pay back three times as much as you are now." ”

"You guys! Don't deceive people too much! ”

"It is natural to repay debts, and you were the guarantor at that time, but you volunteered, and you pressed your handprints in black and white.

Our boss values your business ability, lifts you up, and lets you be a salesman, you don't want to toast anymore, don't eat and drink, take it away! ”

The man in black didn't give him any more room to negotiate, and with a wave of his hand, several people rushed up and put Mo Sheng in the van, and the cake in Mo Sheng's hand also fell to the ground and was trampled back and forth by those men in black.

When the brother and sister at the door of the house saw this scene, they stood on the spot. For teenagers, this is the first time they realize the horror of the adult world.

After a short period of daze, Kaoru shouted, "Bad guy, let go of my dad!" ”

Xiao Xuan didn't hold her sister for a while, let her break free, she ran to the group of people in black and waved her small fist at them.

"Imp, get out of the way!" One of the men in black impatiently kicked Kaoru to the ground, and Kaoru was covered with sewage from the ground, and she got up again, continued to hit the group of men in black, and then was kicked to the ground again.

"Stop, you brutes!" Mo Sheng's eyes were red as he struggled.

"Mo Sheng, if you get in the car honestly, we will naturally not embarrass this little ghost." The man in black smiled evilly.

Mo Sheng was silent for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

"That's right, the one who knows the times is Junjie, take people in the car, and let's go."

Many men in black stuffed Mo Sheng into the car, closed the door, and started the engine.

At this time, Xiao Kaoru, who fell to the ground, began to cry: "Woo woo, you return my father, these bad people, return my father!" ”

Xiao Xuan, who was standing in place, came back to her senses and ran towards her sister.

At only ten years old, he was terrified, but now he knew that he had to protect his sister.

When Xiao Xuan just started to move, Xiao Kaoru on the other side wiped her face, stood up, and ran to the starting car.

Xiaoxuan was shocked and hurriedly shouted at her sister.

The sky was full of wind and thunder, and the rain was falling more violently, and the heavy rain and fog made everything unrecognizable.

In the haze, Xiao Xuan vaguely saw that her sister was standing in front of the speeding van, with her arms outstretched, trying to stop the car from taking her father away.

There was a thud, and a dull thud came.

……

"Boss, did you hit something just now?"

"It's raining so heavily, you're wrong, hurry up and drive, we have to hurry back to make a difference."

……

The car was gone.

When Xiao Xuan came back to her senses again, she found that Xiao Kaoru had fallen to the ground.

He stood still, his mouth wide open, but he couldn't say anything.

The figure of my sister lying on the ground was motionless, only the rain kept beating on her, splashing layer after layer.

Not far from her, the cake that Mo Sheng originally brought to the brothers and sisters had been trampled beyond recognition.

……

Later, my sister was taken to the hospital for rescue, and although her life was saved, she has been in a coma in the hospital bed until now.

The doctor said that in medicine, this should be a vegetative state. ”

Xiao Xuan said, her eyes gradually dimming.

Lu Fan and the others also fell silent when they heard Mo Xiaoxuan say these things, and they wanted to comfort Xiaoxuan, but they didn't know what to say.

Later, my mother couldn't accept the blows one after another, and gradually began to become a little mentally abnormal, and she was chanting Kaoru's name every day.

By chance, she recognized me as Kaoru...... Then I noticed that her symptoms were a little lesser. After that, I began to live in front of her as Kaoru-chan......"

She said softly, and before she knew it, tears were rolling in her eyes again.

Lu Fan suddenly realized, no wonder just now, Xiao Xuan's mother's eyes were a little erratic, and she was still taking that kind of small white pills, it seemed that she did have mental problems.

Chen Guangyao asked apprehensively, "In other words, the reason why you wear women's clothes is because you want your mother to treat you as a little Kaoru?" ”

Mo Xiaoxuan nodded silently.

She has always blamed herself for not holding her sister at a critical moment, so, in order to live smoothly as Kaoru Xiao, she began to dress up as a woman, because she and Kaoru were originally twin brothers and sisters, so their appearance is not much different, enough to be fake and real.

Every time a woman dresses up as Xiao Xun, the number of episodes of her mother will decrease, which also strengthens Xiao Xuan's confidence in women's clothing.

For this reason, she began to grow her long hair, put on a girl's uniform, and endured all kinds of cold eyes and criticism, and persevered.

Later, Xiaoxuan entered puberty, her vocal cords began to develop, and her voice gradually became more like that of a boy.

Now this slightly neutral gentle voice is practiced in this way.

Lu Fan and the three of them were embarrassed when they heard it, they thought at first that Xiaoxuan wore women's clothes at school, just out of hobby, but they didn't expect that there was such a story behind it.

"But ......" Lu Fan spoke: "Even if this is the case, I'm afraid it can only temporarily alleviate the symptoms and treat the symptoms but not the root cause." If you want to get completely better, I'm afraid you still have to let her accept the reality.

Otherwise, no matter how many small white pills you take, it won't help. After all, heart disease still needs heart medicine. ”

Ilya nodded: "Yes, Xiaoxuan, I'm afraid she still needs to receive professional treatment, and besides, take her to the hospital to see Kaoru once, right?" ”

"Kaoru has bought insurance, and now she can barely survive in the hospital with insurance money.

But what she looks like...... The psychiatrist told me it was best not to let my mom see that. ”

Xiao Xuan lowered her head and rubbed her hands, revealing a look of embarrassment.

"Moreover, the cost of professional psychiatric treatment is not a small amount. Now, I can't afford to use even those little white pills that maintain sedation. ”

Lu Fan suddenly: That's what I said, if Xiaoxuan can really afford the cost, she doesn't have to sneak around the corner of the city to pick up expired bread.

"Compared to that." Chen Guangyao took out a tissue and wiped his face,

"What about those bastards? Your sister's matter, they are also responsible, find them to apologize and compensate! I also arrested your father, it's unreasonable! ”

Speaking of anger, Chen Guangyao couldn't help but hammer the table hard, and the water glass on the table shook from side to side.

Xiao Xuan shook her head: "I just saw them driving a van and wearing a black suit. Their specific identities are not clear, and they did not find out when they found a special search department, and the methods of those people seem to be very secretive. ”

"Then, Xiaoxuan, do you plan to stay in women's clothes like this and live as Xiao Xun?" Ilya asked.

"I ...... I do not know. Xiaoxuan lowered her head and kept swinging the water glass on the table, her bangs hung low, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

"At least, until I find a way to cure my mom, that's what I'm going to do."

At this time, a system prompt suddenly sounded in Lu Fan's mind: "[Second Milestone] progress update, the current progress is 50%. ”

He was stunned, why did the progress update become so fast?

Ilya replied on the system channel: "Because you have found the right milestone person, the closer you get to the right clue, the faster the milestone progress will be updated." ”
