The flower shop owner Ma Li wrapped a beautiful bouquet made of orchids and calla lilies and handed it to Su Yang. Su Yang quickly turned around and handed it to Mao Noem, who was still tear-stained behind him.

"Alright, stop crying! This bouquet is much stronger than your fake flower made of paper. ”

Ma Ao twisted his face and muttered in a low voice, "Is it great to be rich......

Although the voice was small, Su Yang still heard it, but did not react.

Walking through the streets where the ruins have been cleared, you can see dusty construction scenes everywhere. The pedestrians on the road also had bitter faces on their faces and hurried by. Su Yang recalled that after the interstellar war, the entire earth's economy did not fully recover, and all industries were slowly developing, with high unemployment rates, reduced incomes, and various riots from time to time, which made the society permeated with a withering atmosphere.

Perhaps, as a commoner, Ma Ao has no power and power, and his natural life may be very miserable.

"If you spend a lot of time in the barracks, you will be disconnected from civilian life." Su Yang pretended to be talking to himself and said, "Even if it is a cheap thing, as long as it is made with care, it will become priceless." It seems that the appearance of those flowers is not often seen in the market. Did you come up with those on your own? ”

Ma Ao glanced at Su Yang, "That's the wildflower on Mayang Island, Elder Nutuk's favorite flower. But Mayang is gone, so I only make it on paper according to memory. ”

Su Yang nodded with a smile, as if he had an understanding.

"Do you know me? Why do you know my name? Mao asked.

Su Yang was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and said, "I also know that your sister's name is Sarah Nome and Kudo Ma, and what happened in July 2008. ”

Mao's eyes suddenly widened, and soon tears welled up in his entire eye socket, "So does the United Army remember these things?" Do you really remember? Didn't you say yes, you want to help me get my sister back? Why haven't you told me anything until now? Why didn't you tell me! ”

Maao, who was a little out of control, slapped Su Yang's chest hard, but Su Yang endured all this silently until Mao was tired.

After Sarah stops the awakened birdman, she flies into the universe. However, with our ability at the time, we could not track her, especially after the fold, and she completely lost her trace. So the matter was put to rest. Later, when the Jetratites attacked and the surface of the earth was destroyed, the matter was even more neglected. ”

Ma Ao cried and slapped Su Yang twice with her last strength, "For you, it's just an ordinary girl who can't be more ordinary." You are only tracking her so that you can get more things that are good for you. But for me, it was my only relative, an irreplaceable relative. ”

After that, Ma Ao ran away in the wind, leaving Su Yang in the cold wind.

Su Yang, who rushed back to the hospital, immediately found the ward where an old man from Nutuk was. Afraid that something would happen to Mao, but he was afraid that he was causing unnecessary trouble, so he quietly glanced in through the window of the door. Seeing that Ma Ao was carrying a lunch box and feeding Elder Nutuke on the paralyzed bed one bite at a time, Su Yang was relieved.

"So why should I care so much about such a girl? Even if the background is miserable, but for the whole earth, there is nothing special? Su Yang leaned on the window at the end of the corridor, looking up at the blue sky.

Suddenly, the idle expression showed a stunned expression.

"Will her granddaughter really become an idol like Miss Akemi? Ah, of course, Miss Akemi is a unique existence, so it can only be regarded as close......" Su Yang muttered to himself, "So what should I do?!" …… What the? Send it to when-"

Before Su Yang finished speaking, he heard the sound of the door opening from the direction of Nutuk's room behind him. He hid and peeked, and noticed that Ma had just stepped out, so he quietly followed.

Strangely, Ma Ao did not rush out to class, but after receiving a cup of hot water from the free drinking place, he came to a secluded place and sat down. After touching her belly, she took out a small bag of bread from her pocket and ate it with hot water.

"Let's have half of it for dinner." After carefully looking at the half of the bread in his hand for a long time, Ma Ao reluctantly took it back.

All this was completely seen by Su Yang.

Mao looked at the watch on her wrist, "Then it's time to go to work." ”

As soon as I got up and didn't take a few steps, I felt dizzy and dizzy, and my body fell forward. Just when she was about to fall, a pair of large hands held her up. Leaning on these warm and powerful arms, a smile of relief appeared on Mao's face, as if his lonely heart had a home.

"Not going to school at the end of the day is one of the sins; Malnutrition during the growth period is the second sin. ”

Ma Ao slowly turned his head to look and found that Su Yang was looking at her with gentle eyes.

"We'll meet again, Miss Mayo Noem."

A bowl of fragrant beef noodles bought from the hospital cafeteria is now an empty bowl. As the opposite of the dining room table, although Mao regained his vitality, his face was still tense.

"It's your money, I don't want to owe anyone more, especially just for a bowl of beef noodles," Ma Ao pulled out a few bills from his worn-out wallet and placed them on the table.

Su Yang sipped coffee while answering in silence. Because he didn't know how to explain why he was helping him, after all, the source of the information was so unreliable. It's one thing for Mao not to believe, but if he does, he may change history and cause a timeline to be distorted.

So he pushed the money back to Mao, "I can still afford to invite a lady to eat a bowl of beef noodles." ”

"If you like to play with a poor girl's jokes in the palm of your hand, then you are the worst man!" Ma Ao suddenly stood up and roared. As a result, the customer and the waiter looked at him strangely, and Ma Ao sat back down.

Su Yang put down the coffee and said slowly, "It should be compensation." In fact, I was a volunteer on the Asuka back then, and I would like to compensate you for the incident on Mayang Island, hoping that you can complete your studies and live a happy life. ”

Silence returned to the restaurant, and the two men bowed their heads and remained silent.

"I'm going to work." Ma Ao got up and was about to leave, but Su Yang grabbed his arm.

"What about studying? You should take the university entrance exam next year, right? Can this be passed? ”

"I have no savings, no other relatives, and I have no choice when I am hospitalized and need government assistance." Ma Ao broke free of Su Yang's hand and hurriedly ran out.

Su Yang didn't know what to do now, so he could only go to Nutuk.

After some introduction, the weakened Elder Nutuk slowly explained what had followed.

"The Maona child, after seeing Sarah disappear into the sky and Shinya disappearing, was depressed for a while, and then after getting on the macross, he was slowly awakened by Akemi's singing. Now my health is getting worse and worse, and I was injured last month, which is why she started to take on the burden of the family so early. ”

Listening to Elder Nutuke's words, Su Yang pondered.

"Obviously, according to Mao's temper, if I were to force a care based on money, it would be tantamount to hurting her self-esteem." Su Yang sighed, "I'm going to be discharged from the hospital soon, and when she comes back, please tell her that I can arrange a job for her in the logistics base." Not only is it safe, but the salary is also guaranteed. ”

Elder Nutuk pondered, "I'm afraid I won't be able to accept your help so easily. Because she was fooled a few times before, she was almost abducted by the underworld. Unless you can make her heart open to you. ”

In fact, as Elder Nutuk said, until Su Yang left the hospital with regret and went to Elmendorf Air Base of the 10th Air Wing, Ma Ao did not look for him.
