“…………”

The boy looked at his sister who had suddenly appeared in him, and tilted his head in confusion.

He didn't know why his sister in front of him was crying or why...... Want to appear in front of yourself?

"I'm sorry...... I'm scared of you......" She wiped her tears, her smile still so gentle.

She saw the person she was seeking, the person she was looking for, the first life.

It was something she didn't know, his past.

"So the two of us may be a little similar...... she said with a smile, "So, I want to bring the happiness I get from you, gentle...... Return to you. ”

“…………”

The boy still just looked at her suspiciously, completely unable to understand what she was saying.

"I'm sorry, I'm just talking about my own business."

Eve took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions that welled up in her heart.

At this moment, there is more important things to do.

"You...... Alone? Standing here all the time, you must be tired, thirsty, and cold, right? Want...... Come with me? Eve asked.

"............" The boy just shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to go.

"Why?" Eve crouched down and asked him softly, "Why do you want to stay here?" ”

The boy ............ still did not speak, but looked around, as if he wanted to see someone, but he could not find it, and once again hung his head weakly.

"Really? That's ......."

Eve quickly understood what the boy meant, and it was impossible for her not to understand.

It is precisely because she understands that there is a little more bitterness in her smile.

"Are you ......," Eve asked softly, "are you waiting here for your mother...... Right? Because Mom said she would come to you, you have to wait for her here, right? ”

"............" This time, the boy finally nodded.

"Really? I know. So Eve held out her hand to him, "That'...... I'll take you with me to find your mother. ”

The boy tilted his head and looked at Eve's outstretched hand, but did not react to take her outstretched hand.

Eve continued: "I know, you...... Been waiting here for a long time, right? I've been waiting here, I've been waiting here, just because of my mother's words, I've been waiting here with conviction...... Since you can't wait for your parents, you can go to your own mother. ”

"......" The boy winked at her, still not holding her hand.

It was clear that there was distrustful emotion in his eyes.

For this strange sister who suddenly appeared in front of him, even him, it is difficult to have a sense of trust in him.

Eve naturally knew what he was thinking, but it was precisely because she knew that she also knew how to convince the boy in front of her.

"Your mother, she hasn't been here for so long, something must have happened, right? Generally speaking, a mother can't let her child wait so long for her, right? ”

"......" The boy's eyes were a little less guarded, and he was attracted by what Eve said.

Eve continued, "Your mother, it must be ...... Lost, right? She didn't know where she was now, she didn't know where she was going, she was sure to be confused and scared now, holding her head alone, feeling the pain of immenseness. So, this time, it's time for you to look for your lost mother......"

"......" It was clear that the boy believed this, and at the same time, he believed Eve, who told him this. He looked at Eve with anxiety and determination in his eyes.

"Come with me and save your mother......" Eve, once again holding out her hand to him, "It's okay, I'm not a bad person, I will never hurt you, so, trust me." ”

“…………”

This time, the boy finally nodded, reached out and gently took Eve's hand.

Feeling the small, familiar, warm little hand in her hand, Eve felt relieved inside.

But at the same time, she also felt sorrow in her heart.

Eve is well aware that the boy's mother, no doubt...... He was forsaken.

As a mother, she chose to abandon her children, the children she believed to be a burden to her, the source of all her misfortunes.

For her, she left the past behind and stepped into the future.

So, Eve is worried, is she really going to bring this child back to his mother?

In that case, it's not a good thing for him.

However, there may be another possibility, that is, if the mother and son meet again, they can get back together.

Unlike herself, the child's mother really loves him, but ...... She really couldn't bear the pressure of life, so after persevering for so many years, she finally collapsed, so she made this choice.

Perhaps, she regrets it now, as long as she can see her child again, she can change her mind.

This possibility is very small, but Eve hopes for this possibility in her heart.

Although he taught Eve to abandon her parents, Eve also knew in her heart that it was an incurable wound in her life, and it was an almost insurmountable nightmare except to face it with a strong heart.

The wounds caused by parents can only be healed by parents.

What Eve didn't want to happen to her, happened to him again. In such a life, it is enough to carry it alone.

So, Eve is now very entangled, she doesn't know whether she should take this boy and really look for his mother.

Either way, Eve knew that she had to take him out of here now, and if she stayed here any longer, his body would not be able to support him.

Then Eve asked, "Where is your home?" If you go there, you can always find some clues about your mother. ”

"............" When the boy heard this, he immediately looked in one direction.

It was a more remote suburban location directly opposite the center of the city.

"Really? Over there, well, it's better to have a destination than to walk around. Well...... However, if you are hungry, you don't have the strength to go to your mother, so let's go eat something first. I'll look for it after you've eaten, okay? ”

"............" The boy nodded, not refusing.

"That'...... Let's go. ”

With that, Eve took the boy's hand, and the two of them left the place and walked around the city.

At this moment, it is already late autumn, and the wind blowing is getting colder and colder, making this already cold city even colder.

The boy could stand there and wait, his body was already weak, so he had to be given warmth as soon as possible.

Even though the weather was already so cold, the city was full of people, and everyone wanted to squeeze into the center of the city, and Eve and the boy were trying to leave the center of the city.

They were swimming against the crowd and had some difficulty moving forward.

However, if you stay here all the time, it will always be difficult to go wherever you want, so if you go to a relatively remote place, it will not be so crowded.

Even if it is not as prosperous as the city center, the convenience of one's life is more important.

“…………”

At this moment, the boy discovered one thing, that is, the sister in front of him was not always squeezed around like himself.

Unlike herself, others saw herself, but she still didn't mean to let herself, but she ...... The others didn't even look at her, as if they didn't see her, or that she didn't exist.

Moreover, no one else could touch her at all, as if ...... She's a ghost-like.

“…………”

However, the boy didn't say anything, just followed her silently, and finally left the crowded environment.

"I'm sorry to finally leave...... It must be very uncomfortable, but if you stay there all the time, you can only be squeezed all the time, and the long pain is better than the short pain, so I can only take you away first. Okay, let's go eat something first, do you have anything you like to eat? ”

Eve looked at the boy and asked softly.

"......" and the boy shook his head, indicating that he didn't have anything he liked, or that he didn't have anything he wanted to eat.

"Really?" Eve asked again, "What about ...... Do you have anything you hate to eat? ”

"......" the boy shook his head.

"Well, there's nothing you hate to eat...... "Eve smiled at him, "it seems you're a good boy who isn't picky." ”

“……”

"However, this is a bit of a problem......" Eve shook her head a little helplessly, "I can't help you make a decision in my current situation." ”

Eve's situation at the moment is a bit peculiar.

In order not to have more influence on the world and thus create problems like his previous ones, this time, Eve chooses to compress her existence to the extreme.

For this world, she almost does not exist, others cannot see her, and no one can touch her. She can't do much to change the world, either.

It's a ghost-like being.

In this world, there is only one person who can see her and touch her, and that is the boy in front of her.

However, this also leads to the problem that she cannot interact with the world, and she cannot really help the child.

Eve was distressed as she pulled out a stack of money from her body.

"I have money. But...... I don't need to get out. Damn, I wouldn't have compressed my existence so thoroughly if I knew it, but now it's too late to regret it, don't ......"

Eve looked helplessly at the boy and handed him the money.

"I'm sorry, but you're on your own, can you go shopping by yourself? I...... It's not easy to communicate with other people right now. But! Don't worry about money, use as much as you want! Here, it's all for you! ”

"......," the boy nodded, and then, with some hesitation, pulled one out of the pile of coins and ran to a stall by the side of the road.

Then, to Eve's surprise, the boy was able to buy what he wanted with ease.

“…………”

He still didn't speak, but that didn't affect the communication between him and the clerk.

He just pointed to what he wanted and the amount of weight, and the clerk understood it and immediately helped him deal with it.

"Good...... It's amazing! Seeing this, Eve couldn't help but sigh: "When I'm his age, I can't buy things by myself at all, he's very mature, and I don't have to worry too much, but...... Woo! Why is he so mature? In this way, I don't have room for expression, right? ”

Eve's heart, in addition to being happy, there are also unwilling emotions.

“…… Come to think of it, I'm probably older than him. For him, it should be an existence like a sister. But! I always looked like a child in front of him, and I could only give him the impression of being childish!

This time, it was not easy to meet him in an image older than him, and I am now! But he's a full ten centimeters taller! But...... Why, why is it like this again? That's not going to work! ”

Eve shook her head vigorously, and decided in her heart that she must leave him with a mature, stable, and attractive sister!

At this moment, the boy who came back with a pile of food looked at Eve, who was constantly cheering himself up, and tilted his head suspiciously.

"Oh, you're back...... Uh-huh! Eve coughed suddenly, and made a smile that she thought was full of maturity, "Child, you're back." ”

“……”

Looking at the boy full of doubts, as if he was asking himself if he was okay, right? With the look of what happened, Eve still responded with a mature and steady attitude and smile:

"Nothing, it's just...... I'm just back to my old self, don't worry, don't be afraid, that's what I am. ”

“……”

The boy seemed to look at her helplessly, and didn't say anything, just silently returned the change he had found.

"Give it back to me? No, I can't use it anyway, you can take it yourself. ”

......Seeing that she didn't want to take it, the boy handed her the food he had bought.

"Oh? Give it to me? Thank you! Eve immediately opened her mouth with joy to pick it up, but ......

"Uh......h I can't eat it, I can't eat it now, and I regret it even more now......"

"......" looked at Eve's tearless appearance, and although the boy didn't understand what the situation was, he still reached out and touched Eve's head, trying to comfort her.

"Huh? Thank you............ Yes! ”

Seeing the boy's behavior, Eve was a little moved, but she immediately reacted that she was the older character who gave comfort!

"Damn......

Eve gritted her teeth unwillingly, she was now bent on showing her mature and steady side.

At this moment, Eve suddenly saw that a nearby bookstore was blatantly selling books with unhealthy content!

Eve was about to subconsciously look away, but she suddenly thought about it, isn't this just an opportunity!?
