A 10-year-old child who is starving on the streets, unable to find a home or without a home, does not understand why it can be kept so bright and clean.

It even evokes a hint of warmth in his heart.

"Brother, can I take this dress with me?" Shui Er got up from the ground, subconsciously patted the dust of the hospital gown on his body, and asked with a hint of caution.

The boy stared at her for a long time, and suddenly made up his mind.

He wanted to see if she could get out of a completely different life at the age of ten with the same starting point.

"Shui'er, how will you live in the future?" The boy asked calmly.

Shui'er seemed to have thought about this question, looked up at the person in front of her, and replied without hesitation: "I know how to get to Uncle Police's place, and if I can't find my sister, I'll go to Uncle Police." ”

The boy laughed, laughing at his innocence.

The darkness of this world is less than a thousandth of what she imagined, did she think she could get there if she wanted to?

Shui'er didn't understand why he was laughing, but she understood that this brother was a good person, and he looked better when he laughed than when he didn't.

*

A month later.

The boy took Shui'er by the hand and led him into the police station she was familiar with.

"Lu Shao." One by one, people in police uniforms greeted the teenagers, standing in danger, not daring to make a sound, and even a few people with independent offices in the innermost part came out one after another, waiting aside.

Shui Er looked at this scene, her big eyes flickering.

The boy ignored anyone, sat down with Shui'er, and clicked on his phone.

After a while, 2 men in black uniforms, a big brother wearing a police uniform, and a big sister with high heels walked over.

"Young Master." The man in police uniform bowed his head slightly and said respectfully: "Sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"Young Master, you have a look." The tall woman addressed the boy, then handed over a document and a pen.

The young man took it lazily, crossed the text one by one with a heavy gaze, signed the last page in a dashing manner, and handed it back.

The tall woman took it, glanced at the water beside the young man, and then walked into the back room with the man in the police uniform next to her.

Shui'er was next to him, and although he was only ten years old, he also understood the path he was coming, and could only shout uneasily: "Brother." ”

The young man replied slowly, "Well, Shui'er, you know what? You first have to grow up yourself before you have the opportunity to find your sister, only when you are strong, can you have a chance not to be hungry and frozen, and only when you learn to live alone can you be qualified to say thank you to me. ”

“... Shui'er, understood. Shui'er looked into his eyes and nodded heavily.

The young man smiled and touched her face, his expression was a little complicated, deep and gloomy, and he couldn't see a trace of light, "Shui'er, promise me, you can be weak or strong, but in my bones, my brother hopes that you will always keep your bright cleanliness and clarity." ”

Shui Er listened, her mother had also said similar words, her clean eyes reflected the cold and handsome face of the young man, and smiled slightly, "I remember, brother." ”

Shui'er was finally taken out of Star City by her eldest sister to City A, and fostered in an old grandmother's house, who was very nice, but her grandmother died when she was fifteen years old, and she lived alone from that day on.

The eldest sister next to her brother would come to visit her once a month, ask a lot of questions, and occasionally care about her life and grades, and she looked forward to that day every day in those years.

On the day the college entrance examination results came out, the eldest sister handed her a card and told her that this was the tuition fee for her four years of college admission, and it has not appeared since......

Shui Youyou's face pale as he struggled to wake up from his sleep, looking at the already slightly white sky.

She has seen the darkness in the world, and she has retained the whiteness in her heart, but she must also admit that it is very tiring and hard to live without heart and lungs for all these years.

Suddenly, at this moment, I clearly remembered the scene of separation with my brother.

"Shui'er, from today onwards you are Shui Youyou, remember not to come back, and don't look for me, otherwise I will let you truly see the darkness and have nothing."

The young man was dressed in a high school uniform, and under the background of the sun, Shui Er saw the playfulness at the corner of his mouth and the indifference in black and white in his eyes, "These words are engraved in his mind." ”

"What if I'm big, big? Can you come back? Shui'er simply looked at him and asked, but when he didn't answer, he said, "Why did my brother save me?" ”

"Secret. Just like me, I'm a secret that you can't tell anyone in your heart from now on. The boy's tone was unhurried, and he couldn't hear the emotion.

Shui'er tugged at the corners of his clothes and asked the last sentence of leaving: "Brother, what is your name?" ”。

"Lu Jue."
