It's not what was inherited from whom, it's ...... The name he chose for himself.

In this world, there are certainly not a few people with this name, and he is just one of them.

It's just that this name has a different meaning for him than others.

So, starting today, boy...... became Xiao Yi.

"Huh......" Xiao Yi took a deep breath, picked up his mother-in-law, and was about to leave here.

Then, he found that Eve was standing not far away, silently waiting for her.

This sister of unknown origin and mystery, for some reason, has been by her side.

No matter where she goes or who she meets, she is always by her side and never leaves.

Unconsciously, Xiao Yi suddenly noticed that if he didn't have her by his side, his heart would feel empty.

But...... She never left herself, even now.

“…… Let's go, sister. Xiao Yi walked up to her and said to her slowly, "We'...... Let's go back. ”

“…… Well. Eve just nodded silently, and then accompanied Xiao Yi, watching his pace adjust his pace.

"And ......," Xiao Yi said again, "I now have a name." I took it myself, and it was called Xiao Yi. ”

“…… Xiao Yi. Eve smiled softly at him, "What a name." ”

There is no need for too many words, and the outpouring of emotions, just that, it is the best way for them to get along with each other.

However, Eve is actually a little entangled in her heart.

Witnessing the boy's growth all the way, seeing him grow into what he is now, he is taller than himself, and finally got the name that belongs to him. What's more...... He was finally willing to speak to others.

That's right, Xiao Yi has been able to speak since he was a child, but he ...... Such a depressing environment made him afraid to talk to others and not dare to connect with others.

Now, he has finally changed, and he, by his side, has witnessed his change.

Eve was now experiencing what she had ever admired the most, and her heart was undoubtedly very happy and content.

However, Xiao has also grown, and the price is that he must lose something.

This made Eve's heart feel sad, and she didn't know what kind of expression she should use to face Xiao Yi.

"By the way......" At this time, Xiao Yi asked again: "Speaking of which, sister, what is your name?" I didn't know it for a long time. ”

"Me? My name is ...... Yes. Eve was about to say it, but then she was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then squeezed out a reluctant smile, and replied:

"One day after that, let's talk about it."

I can't have any more contact with Xiao Yi, and I can't let him know his name.

He just needs to know that he once had an older sister by his side, so that he can continue with the future.

“…… That's right. ”

Xiao Yi didn't ask much, since Eve didn't want to tell him, then it would explain why she couldn't tell herself.

"............" and Eve, who also rarely lowered her head.

Because she finally remembered something, it won't be long before she will leave Xiao Yi's side.

That's right, parting is doomed, she will inevitably leave Xiao Yi one day in the future, this is inevitable and necessary. As long as Eve accompanies Xiao Yi and accompanies him to a certain moment, it is enough to ensure that Xiao Yi's existence can continue.

For Eve, after leaving here, when she returns, she will be able to see the same Xiao Yi again.

But that's just for her. For Xiao Yi, it is ...... The sister who grew up with him left him forever.

There is no doubt that Xiao Yi, this child, is extremely afraid of loneliness and loneliness, he knows the pain of loneliness better than anyone else, and naturally he is more afraid than anyone else.

And once he leaves him, then ...... What will happen to him?

Eve couldn't help but start worrying, perhaps...... It would be better to keep a certain distance from him.

It should be better to slowly disconnect than to tear hard.

……

Then, with the help of Eve, Xiao also dealt with the aftermath of his mother-in-law, and they returned to their previous wandering life, a life where they only accompanied each other.

They are still wandering around the city, looking for Xiao Yi's biological mother, and they have not stopped for a day.

Gradually, the oncoming wind became colder and colder, and winter arrived.

At this moment, feeling the icy cold wind, Eve felt more and more calm.

After thinking about it carefully, she finally mentioned something to Xiao Yi, something she wanted to bring up before, but she never had the courage to bring it up.

Xiao Yi ...... Your mom may no longer be in the city. She said.

"......" Xiao Yi looked at her silently, waiting for her next words.

"I've been looking for so long, but I haven't found a trace, perhaps, your mother is no longer in this city, we ......" Eve hesitated, but she still mustered up the courage to say: "I'm afraid we can't find your mother anymore, no matter how hard we try, it's already unachievable, so let's stop here." I'm sorry...... Obviously you worked so hard, it was obviously an agreed thing, but I said I was going to give up. ”

"............" Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Sister, are you...... Think it's better? ”

"Me?" Eve was a little afraid to look directly into Xiao Yi's eyes.

"That's right." Xiao Yi said: "I want to know, sister, what you think." ”

"Let me decide? I ......" Eve didn't know how to answer this question for a moment.

However, at this moment, she suddenly remembered a sentence, something that her uncle had said to her...... Children can't make decisions, so make your own decisions.

So, Eve gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously.

"Well, I think that's better for you."

“…… Is it? Xiao Yi lowered his head slightly, "Then if I don't go to my mother, what should I do next?" ”

He is confused if he gives up the goal of life that he has always insisted on.

"......" Eve took a deep breath and asked, "Xiao Yiling...... Any wishes? ”

"Wish?" Xiao Yi looked at Eve, looked at it for a moment, shook his head, and replied, "I don't know. ”

"In that case, let's go and find it together. Find what you want to do, what you want, what you want, and then go for it...... I will also be by your side and help you find it. ”

The words "......" made Xiao Yi feel relieved in his heart, "Really? That's good...... I'm going to look for what I want to do. ”

“…… Well! Eve smiled happily: "Let's look for it slowly, let's go." ”

As she spoke, Eve subconsciously stretched out her hand to Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi quickly held her hand.

The two held each other's hands, no longer eagerly searching for something on the road as before, but for the first time, slowly, not for any purpose, but just like this, simply experiencing the road they had walked together.

At this time, Eve looked at the people coming and going on the street, and asked suspiciously:

"Speaking of which, it's so cold now, why are so many people willing to wander outside?"

Xiao also replied: "Probably ...... It's because it's going to be the Spring Festival. ”

"Spring Festival?"

It was a special and very important festival in this country, and Eve didn't know much about it, and they really didn't care much about it before.

For others, though, it's different.

"It's a festival." Eve nodded, "No wonder it's so lively everywhere, speaking of which, we haven't cared much about this festival before, this should be a very important festival in your place, right?" ”

"Probably." Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, then looked at Eve, and suddenly said, "By the way, sister......"

"Huh? Can I help you? ”

"On the day of the Spring Festival, let's go out for a walk together."

“………… Huh? ”

Eve was stunned, this was the first time she was invited by Xiao Yi, which was in the past, but Eve couldn't think of it!

Her heart was immediately overjoyed, and she almost jumped on the spot, of course, she subconsciously wanted to nod her head and agree.

"Hmmm! I...... Belch! ”

However, in the next moment, Eve's face was full of joy and disappeared completely.

Yourself, promise to come down, is it really good?

Didn't you already decide to slowly disconnect from him?

"......" So, Eve clenched her little fists, holding back the emotions that were about to gush out of her heart, almost squeezing out a voice from between her teeth: "No...... I'm not going. ”

“…… Is it? ”

And Xiao Yi's reaction was also very bland.

……

On the night of the Spring Festival, Xiao Yi wandered the streets alone, while Eve followed him not far behind.

Although Eve rejected him, she was still by his side, but at a distance from before.

Although Eve is still by Xiao Yi's side, the attitude of refusal is very important.

How much Eve wanted to be by his side, but she knew...... She couldn't do that.

Although Xiao Yi didn't say anything, he had never gone out except for necessary things in the past, but now he was wandering outside without any purpose.

Perhaps, he just wanted to spend the day with Eve in this way.

Although she kept a certain distance, she was still by his side, and that alone was enough.

Suddenly, the people around began to count down.

"Five! Four! Three! Two! One!!! ”

At the end of the countdown, the night sky burst into brilliant fireworks.

Xiao Yi was immediately attracted by the brilliant fireworks, he looked up at the night sky, looking at the colorful fireworks that were constantly blooming in the night sky, and he was fascinated.

“……”

Eve, on the other hand, did not look up at the night sky, but kept looking at Xiao Yi.

She felt that compared to fireworks, Xiao Yi's face and eyes illuminated by fireworks were more beautiful.

The corners of Eve's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Great, he looks happy............ Huh? ”

However, at this moment, Eve inadvertently saw a figure she didn't want to see.

“…… Why? Why is she here? ”

Not far from Xiao Yi, his ...... The biological mother, right there.

She is still in the city, and then, on today's special day, she also came out to spend the festival here.

Xiao Yi searched for his biological mother who he hadn't found for so many years, but after he was about to give up, he met him!

As long as Xiao Yi tilted his head slightly, he could see her. As long as Xiao Yi sees her, he will definitely find that she is the mother he has been looking for for many years!

“…… Is that! At the same time, Eve found the petite figure beside Xiao Yi's mother.

At this moment, Xiao Yi was also planning to look in that direction!

Eve's pupils contracted suddenly, and she hurriedly rushed to Xiao Yi's side, anxious to pull him away.

"Xiao Yi! Let's go over there! ”

“……？” Xiao Yi looked at her suspiciously, and quickly noticed something, subconsciously looked in that direction, and then ......

“……！”

Xiao Yi really recognized his mother, and he hurriedly rushed over!

"Wait!" Eve knew what would happen next, and wanted to hold him, but she couldn't catch up after all, so she could only look at Xiao Yina's still slightly petite back and leave her.

"Don't go!" She was weak and made a pleading voice, "I will be by your side and will not refuse you, so ......"

And Xiao Yi, squeezing through the crowd, finally ...... Once again, he came to his mother.

"Mom......"

Xiao Yizheng was about to call out, but he was tripped and fell to the ground, falling in front of his mother.

His mother was also shocked when she saw him, and hurriedly helped Xiao Yi up.

"You! Are you okay? ”

She gently patted the dust on Xiao Yi's body, and showed Xiao Yi a somewhat unfamiliar gentle smile.

"......" Xiao Yizheng was about to say something, but his mother's words made him stunned.

She asked, "Little friend, where are your parents?" ”

Then, a petite little girl came to his mother and asked her, "Mother, who is this brother?" ”

"I don't know." She said, "I don't know whose child it is, but it's ......."

Xiao Yi's mother looked at Xiao Yi again, and said with a gentle smile: "You are injured, can you go with me to deal with the wound first?" Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, and after taking care of the wounds, I promise to send you to your parents. ”

Just as Xiao Yi thinks, his mother is really a gentle and kind person.

However, her gentleness and kindness made Xiao Yi feel extremely painful.

She was smiling happily now, presumably she had been happy since then.

And that happiness was obtained by giving up Xiao Yicai.

She also took it for granted that she had a child.
