At night, the lights dimmed, everything was silent, and everyone fell asleep.

Shen Mingji had a dream.

In the dream, he returned to his childhood.

Standing at the top of the building, I saw a figure walking on the road from a distance, her body was very petite, it was inconspicuous compared to the wide road, but the color was so strong that people couldn't ignore it, he was clearly happy, but he suppressed his mood, pretending not to care.

Little by little, he watched the little figure get closer and closer to him, closer and closer.

He ran downstairs and stood behind the door, waiting for the door to knock.

It's just that...... I waited for a long, long time, but there was no movement at the door.

Suddenly...... The environment around him changed, and when he was four years old.

Inside the room was a mess of beer bottles, and the lights in the room were dim and unclear, as if the lights would go out at any moment.

"I'm sorry, Mingji, mom is going out for a while, you just wait for me at home, eat bread when you're hungry, I'll be back soon." Mom stuffed him with two pieces of bread.

He took the bread, nodded obediently, and sat down in the center of the living room, waiting.

Mom said he would be back soon, and he would be obedient.

It's just that he waited for a long time, but he didn't see anyone.

The bread was eaten, and there was no one in the room, and the lights were extinguished, and it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen or touched.

He clung to the door frame and banged desperately, but no one responded.

What was he afraid of?

Maybe I feel like I've been left behind.

No one in this world wants him anymore.

Why no one responded to him, why did everyone abandon him.

"Mingji." A soft voice appeared behind him, and someone responded to him, and he felt a gentle tap on the shoulder.

"Dust?" He spoke.

"Don't be afraid, Mingji, I will always be by your side." The girl with the double ponytail opened her mouth sweetly, her apricot eyes were round, and her dark eyes were like black grapes, and now she gently grasped his hand.

It was warm.

As if he had caught everything, he forgot to even cry, put his hand off the doorknob, and cautiously followed her to the kitchen, which was still the same mess, nothing, but like this person.

He wasn't scared anymore.

"Mingji is waiting for me here, I'll be back soon." She bent down and rubbed his head, speaking softly.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

Reach out and grab the person in front of you.

Don't leave me alone, okay.

Suddenly......

The person in front of him disappeared.

The surrounding scene shattered into pieces of glass.

Everything is gone.

Shen Mingji opened his eyes, his eyes were a little dazed, and his hand was slowly raised.

It's a dream.

He hadn't had a dream like this in a long time.

Shen Mingji curled up and slept in the closet, looking out through the gap in the cabinet, the light in the room had long been extinguished, it was pitch black, he closed his eyes, and habitually began to count silently.

One, two, three...... Ninety-nine, one hundred.

The room was quiet, dark, and there was not the slightest movement.

Shen Mingji lowered his eyes, with a bit of mockery in his eyes.

"Dust, you know, I had a ridiculous delusion today." Shen Mingji rubbed the carrot hairpin in his palm, gently raised the corners of his lips, his voice was very light and light, and he was talking to himself in the dark.

"I ...... Thought you were back. ”

They all told him to wait.

No one will ever come back.

It's all a lie.
