Seeing that the scenery of Victoria Harbour was still the same, Qi Siyue couldn't help but sigh.

The last time she came here, she came to a meeting on behalf of the company, as a representative of the champion of the Asia-Pacific marketing team, she was full of energy, the more she saw, the more she felt that she had broader prospects to open up and struggle.

However, in the blink of an eye, it was only a few months later, and when she came here again, it was like a world away.

Qi's father and mother have participated in several sunset red Hong Kong and Macao tour groups, for them, most of the time they used to come to play was to buy and buy, and the mood was completely different from this time when they accompanied their daughter and grandson's family to see the doctor, but they didn't expect that on the first day of their arrival at the place, Qi Siyue came to them with a ticket to Ocean Park to take Lin Anran to play.

Father Qi was puzzled, "Didn't you come to see a doctor for your child?" Do you still have the heart to play? ”

"It's not playing," Qi Siyue handed him a booklet and said, "There are activities organized by the Hong Kong autism group over there, since we came in advance, we might as well go and see it first." Taking An An out to contact people more may also be good for his condition. ”

Dad Qi flipped through a few pages and couldn't help but be taken aback, "The tour guide didn't take us here last time, it turns out that there is the largest aquarium in the world!" What's that...... They are doing activities here, are people in the park happy? ”

Qi Siyue nodded and said, "The event itself is sponsored by Ocean Park. Some children refuse to communicate with people, but prefer to get close to animals and marine life, so some activities are organized here every year to get children close to nature and creatures. ”

Qi's mother hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Those parents who take their children to participate in activities outside are not afraid of being seen by others and talking about their children?" ”

"Say what?" Qi Siyue snorted lightly, "Are you afraid that others will say that their children are stupid and sick?" Before the child receives information from the outside world, it is the parents themselves who care more about the opinions of others. Mom, An An is indeed sick, and we can't lock him in the house and not go out, we have to take him out to play and take him to have more contact with the outside world, so that we can find what he is interested in and guide him to accept us. ”

Qi's father pulled Qi's mother, "You don't have to worry so much!" As far as the seven aunts and eight aunts you know, can you still come here to watch the excitement? If you don't know anyone in this place, who cares who likes to say anything! ”

"I'm not worried about the child!" Qi's mother muttered a few words, but still followed Qi's father to pack her things and go out.

Lin Xiangyu had already taken Lin Anran to wait for the car outside, he made an appointment for a business car in advance, the driver was a very enthusiastic tour guide guy, speaking half-baked Mandarin, without waiting for them to get in the car, he began to enthusiastically introduce them to the attractions and shopping routes in Hong Kong, but the father and son were colder and quieter than the other, and they didn't even say a word, and the young man was dry-mouthed, and when he was complaining, he saw Qi Siyue leading Qi's father and mother down to greet them, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your whole family is really neat and beautiful! When you come back from Ocean Park, I'll take you around our most fashionable neighborhood and make sure you're in a new fit from head to toe! ”

"Thank you, I'll talk about it when I come back, please send us to Ocean Park first." Qi Siyue did not refuse him directly, after letting his parents get in the car first, he took Lin Anran to sit in the middle row, and let Lin Xiangyu follow the way in the passenger seat.

She had a hunch that this visit to Hong Kong was just the beginning.

Ocean Park was full of people, and Dad Qi was smacking his tongue at the sight of the towering roller coaster and Ferris wheel, and he felt that he was already scared just by looking at it, and those young people were really bold and not afraid of excitement.

Qi's mother kept staring at Lin Anran, constantly asking him what he wanted to eat and play, but Lin Anran kept fiddling with a few boards in his hand, with no expression on his face, as if he hadn't heard what she said at all.

This is still a puzzle specially found for him by Lin Xiangyu who was worried that he would lose his temper when he went out without his beloved building blocks, but he couldn't put it down as soon as he got it, and completely ignored all the chattering "others" around him.

Qi Siyue had to stop Qi's mother and let her go shopping with Qi's father casually, and make an appointment to meet at the aquarium, but Qi's mother refused to leave, and Qi's father insisted on accompanying them, even if his eyes drifted towards those thrilling amusement facilities from time to time, he still insisted on being a family.

The group had to speed up their pace, ignoring the wonderful amusement facilities along the way, Lin Anran only looked up a few times when passing through the wildlife park, and quickly focused on the puzzle in his hand, Lin Xiangyu reluctantly exchanged glances with Qi Siyue, although he regretted giving him this thing, but he didn't dare to really take it back.

It wasn't until he entered the aquarium that the puzzle in Lin Anran's hand really "fell out of favor".

As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by the clear blue waters and the various sea creatures that roam in them, from colorful clownfish chasing and frolicking, flower-like anemones shaking their tentacles, and translucent jellyfish dancing in the water...... Not to mention the children, even Qi's parents can't look at it.

The reef-lined aquarium is a reef-lined walkway that makes you feel like you're in the middle of the ocean, with a sea of water overhead and on both sides, one moment you feel like you can touch the lazy giant turtle as soon as you stretch out your hand, and the next moment, a huge shark swims towards you, with its bloody mouth wide open and seems to swallow you in one gulp.

When Lin Anran came in, because of the change in light, he squinted his eyes slightly, and when he opened his eyes again, he couldn't take his eyes off.

He couldn't help but walk over to the aquarium and reach out his little hand, wanting to touch something that made him feel relatable.

Although his hand was blocked by tempered glass, the small fish inside seemed to see him, swam over in groups, and "kissed" his palm through the glass, he was slightly startled, quickly withdrew his hand, and the fish scattered. Then he reached out and put his hand close to the glass, and the fish came closer, took it away, and dispersed......

He seemed to be hooked on this new way of playing the game all of a sudden, repeating the same action over and over again, although there was still no expression on his face, but there was a little more blue light in his eyes that had been empty.

Lin Xiangyu and Qi Siyue have been paying attention to his every move, so naturally they didn't miss this, and when they looked at each other, they couldn't help but feel a little happy.

For children with autism, the most feared thing is not that they are noisy, but that they completely close themselves off, do not react to anything in the outside world, and do not communicate, so that they will not only lose their social survival ability, but also fail to form basic self-care ability.

No matter how much care and support their parents give, they will eventually grow old and leave, and they will eventually have to face the world by themselves.

It has been calculated that the average survival of autistic people who are not able to take care of themselves after the death of their parents is no more than two years.

If you want them to survive safely, you must break their self-enclosed protective shield and let them come out, so that they can learn to be self-reliant and survive, and truly feel the beauty and cruelty of this world.

"Look, that's it—isn't the little jellyfish beautiful?"

"Drifting...... Bright ......"

A crisp and pleasant voice suddenly came from the side, and as soon as the voice fell, there were a few slightly stuttering children's voices, which responded unevenly, and immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Qi Siyue was no exception, following the prestige, she saw a long-haired woman in her twenties standing in front of the jellyfish pillar in the middle of the aquarium, followed by seven or eight children, each with a pair of light easels in front of them, and they were painting on it. The children ranged from four or five years old to seven or eight years old, and it looked like the teacher in the studio brought the students to sketch.

It's just that those children's expressions were blank, their eyes were empty, and even their response to the teacher and their attention to the passers-by around them were extremely cold, Qi Siyue saw it in her eyes, couldn't help but clench Lin Xiangyu's hand, and said in a low voice: "It's them." ”

Lin Xiangyu nodded, took a few steps forward, and sure enough, he saw a blue star and moon sign on the easel in front of the female teacher, which was the destination of their trip, the logo of the Hong Kong Autism Rehabilitation Alliance (the relevant institutions are all fictitious, if there are similarities are purely coincidental).

Qi Siyue walked to the female teacher's side, glanced at the name tag hanging on her chest, which read "Starlight Alliance Fang Yihua", and went up to say hello: "Hello Teacher Fang, are you the teacher of Starlink?" We are here for this ......"

Fang Yihua raised his head, glanced at her, and said lightly: "I am a member of the Star Alliance, just like them. ”

The same? Qi Siyue couldn't help but look at her in shock, if she didn't say it, it would be really difficult for ordinary people to see that she was also one of the autistic people.

She couldn't control her expression in shock, Fang Yihua saw it in her eyes, but her expression was still calm as water, she just glanced at Lin Anran, who was playing happily with the jellyfish in front of the aquarium behind her, and nodded gently, "It's your child?" ”

Even if she didn't finish speaking, Qi Siyue could hear the meaning of her words, after all, Lin Anran had a similar aura to the children she brought, and it might not be easy for others to find out, but she had seen a lot, so she naturally saw the reason why Qi Siyue was close to her at a glance.

"Yes, I'm three years old, and I was diagnosed last month." Qi Siyue nodded without hesitation, after knowing the identity of this teacher, she became more and more warm, if An Ran could recover to her level, even if she was still a little autistic and unsociable, she would be enough to be self-reliant and self-reliant, she would be satisfied.

Fang Yihua put down the paintbrush and walked towards Lin Anran, although she left, those children still stayed in place, each scribbling on the easel in front of her, not caring about her at all.

"Like them?" Fang Yihua's hand was on the wall of the aquarium, and a group of small fish also swam over and made contact with her affectionately, "Do you want to draw them down and take them back as a souvenir?" ”

"Painting?" Lin Anran rarely diverted his attention, looking at Fang Yihua's eyes also had a little brilliance, and nodded solemnly, "I want to paint!" ”

Qi Siyue suddenly felt a sour nose, and she couldn't help crying.

Even if it is not she who guides him out of loneliness, even if it is not her who can communicate with him, as long as she sees him change a little bit and make a little progress, she can be moved from the bottom of her heart, grateful for the opportunity to change, and the opportunity to help him grow.

This sense of accomplishment is even better than the glory of winning the national sales championship at the beginning.

His small step, in her heart, is a big step on the road of life.

Thankfully, this time, she was by his side.
