Chapter 1

Ye Chengfeng's business is growing increasingly prosperous, and the time he spends with his daughter is becoming less and less. Most of the time, Ye Qiaolu is accompanied by Aunt Zhen, the nanny. Over time, Ye Qiaolu feels wronged. Not only does she not have a mother, but she can hardly see her father either

Speaking of home, Ye Qiaolv pouted her lips. She did not want to go home. There was no mother at home, nor father, and no one to play with her.

Only upon arriving at the school did she suddenly realize that she was about to run away from home. She looked at the familiar road ahead, frowned her little face, and turned to walk down the side path she had never taken before

"Er Gou." The fourth boy finally spoke, "You go find my mom and have her lend a small truck, I will carry this person over to Xiangshan Street entrance."

Seeing the look of surprise and doubt on her small face, Shi Yu Mei gently brushed her bangs aside and comforted her, saying, "It doesn't matter if you can't remember. Auntie will help you find your daddy and mommy"

The other three boys were taken aback and cried out in panic

Ye Qiaolu could not help but swallow her saliva

Ye Qiao was chewing rice with her green lips, her round eyes turning towards the boy.

Shiyu Mei continued to ask, "What is the child's name?"

Passing by a small area, there are several elementary school students playing in the sandpit

Ye Qiaolu gazed at Shi Yumei, hesitating and wavering

Another boy exclaimed: "He was killed by the ball!"

With a "thud," she fell to the side. The area struck by the ball ached intensely. She saw stars and felt as if a dazzling white light was flashing all around her

The first boy is named Er Gou. Upon hearing this, he immediately ran back.

Shi Yu Mei smiled, stepped forward and blew gently at the bandaged wound, then gently lifted Ye Qiao Lu's head, finding her the best angle to avoid the injury before placing it back down. "Uncle Doctor said that you need to rest well these days. You must not move around; if you touch it, it will hurt again"

Shi Yu Mei reached out to pull up the boy and said with a smile, "This is Auntie's son, Ye Jing"

The boy continues to walk forward

Ye Qiaolu was panting and intended to take a rest. She bent down and lowered her head

She asked the child, "How old are you?"

The backpack struck against her back as she ran

Not long after the New Year, the spring chill was palpable, and the temperature dropped by ten degrees

It hurt when she hit it, and she stopped in her tracks

A boy shouted: "Dead!"

Do you not remember

"Good, very polite." Shi Yumei said kindly, "Little friend, do you remember the phone number at home?"

The boy glanced at her somewhat indifferently and sat down on the stool at the foot of the bed

At that moment, a soccer ball flew over and struck her on the back of the head

He turned to Shi Yumei and shook the large lunch box, saying: "A feast of fish and meat"

Ye Qiaolu subconsciously replied, "It's fine." Only after saying this did she remember that her head was still hurting, so how could it be fine

A boy is standing there, holding a large lunchbox in his hand

Hearing the noise, Ye Qiaolv bit her lip and glanced over. Then she continued to walk straight ahead

Ye Qiaolu remained silent, yet she was still quite dizzy. She rested her head on his shoulder

Ye Jing stood up as instructed, walked to the bedside, and stared directly at Ye Qiao Lu, saying: "I am sorry"

In the next moment, the two boys looked at each other and said in unison, "What a strange name"

Thus, Ye Qiaolu imitated the tantrums from the television series and ran away from home

Therefore, Ye Chengfeng has never celebrated his daughter's birthday. Aside from this, he has provided a very affluent life for her, ensuring she has always had good food and clothing since childhood

Ye Qiaolu's mind was somewhat hazy, yet she heard the boy carrying her mumble, "The little chubby ball is so heavy"

Ye Qiaolu feels very happy. However, whenever she sees children with their mothers, she cannot help but feel a twinge of envy

She had not mentioned these to Ye Chengfeng. At her young age, she vaguely understood that her father did not want to talk about her mother

Ye Qiaolv accepted it and politely expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Auntie." This beautiful auntie is indeed a good person

Ye Qiaolu took a couple of bites of rice, chewing as she replied, "I am nine years old"

Ye Qiao-lu nodded and quickly got up. Her round body, in conjunction with her movements, was somewhat sluggish

The fourth boy still did not speak; he crouched down and touched his fingers through the green hair of Ye Qiao.

"Oh?" Shi Yu Mei was astonished, "It shares the same surname as my family's path."

The city D in 1997 experienced a mild winter

The decision has changed again at the last minute

Ye Qiaolu's round green eyes slipped past the doorway

Shi Yu Mei opened the lunchbox, and the steaming hot dishes emitted a mouthwatering aroma

In her foggy mind, she still remembered silently refuting his words. She was just a bit overweight, not round like a ball. She was not a little fat ball

Ye Qiao's voice was crisp and clear

Glimpsing his ear, she recalled the previous scene. The profile of the boy carrying her overlapped with the path of leaves before her

She no longer spoke, silently finishing the meal in that large box. Not a single grain of rice was left.

Hmm. The boy sized her up, curling the corners of his lips. He added in his heart: little chubby ball

Ye Qiaolu did not recall who he was at that moment

The fourth boy remained silent and walked towards Ye Qiaolu.

How to be good, Ye Qiaolv does not know. In fact, she has never even seen a photo of her mother

This year's Spring Festival, Ye Chengfeng promised to accompany Ye Qiaolu to the hot springs.

She is unwell and is struggling.

The boy stopped in his tracks, "Awake?" His voice was somewhat hoarse, sounding strange at first.

"Mom." A voice sounded at the door.

She had been staring at the lunchbox, not even noticing that this boy was also quite handsome. He resembled a beautiful lady.

The fourth boy pulled up Ye Qiaolv, and then asked the other two boys for help to lift her onto his back

Ye Qiaolu blinked again, looking at Shi Yu Mei, "Thank you, Auntie"

"Xiao Jing, come over and apologize." Shi Yu Mei slightly retracted her smile

Shi Yu Mei found the little girl truly adorable, and she smiled as she handed the chopsticks to Ye Qiao Lu

She grasped the shoulder straps of her backpack with both hands and continued to run forward

You need to report to the police

The outcome still did not materialize

She is still fixated, with not a glimmer of attention elsewhere

Ye Qiaolu shook her head. This movement caused her wound to rub against the pillow, and the pain returned. She muttered sullenly, "It hurts."

Shi Yu Mei quickly pulled down Ye Qiao Lu's hand, saying, "Uncle Doctor said not to touch it for now"

Shi Yu Mei lowered her head just in time to meet Ye Qiao's bright green eyes. She smiled gently, "Little one, are you awake? Does your head still hurt?"

He repeatedly deferred, pushing it to yesterday

She recalled the story of their encounter, again and again

She wrinkled her nose

The further she walked, the more anxious she became as she looked back at the path she had taken. The streets were unfamiliar, the buildings strange. The school was long out of sight. With a determined heart, she began to run

Beside the road, there is a patch of vacant land. A group of young boys stands there, staring blankly at the green leaves lying on the ground

The beauty of the smile deepens, "That path has the same age as my home."

Shi Yu Mei asked, "Are you hungry, little friend? It's time to get up and have lunch."

She wrinkled her nose again

At this moment, Ye Qiaolu finally turned her gaze towards the boy

Regarding the description of mother, she only heard Ye Chengfeng say once, "Your mother ... is a very good woman"

Ye Qiaolu is certainly hungry. She had a bowl of century egg and lean meat congee for breakfast, and then she ran away from home. Now she is extremely hungry

Ye Qiaolu stared at the large lunchbox, not blinking her eyes at all

The boy's small back carried her plump body. As he walked, there was a slight bounce.

Ye Qiaolv woke up in the hospital and saw a very beautiful lady. She was so beautiful that Ye Qiaolv blinked in astonishment.

There is blood

Ye Qiaolu's little head pondered over the words taught by the teacher again and again, and in the end, the only word that came to mind was beautiful

The other three boys also followed.

After running a few steps, she felt that her backpack was becoming increasingly heavy

The backpack thudded against her back repeatedly, causing the shoulder straps to sway and slide down.

Nothing else remains

Recalling past events, her left hand involuntarily moved to touch the wound on her head

Murdered.

The cold wind blew in from the side, lifting the boy's slightly long hair

She exclaimed, "Ah! It is you"

The day Ye Qiaolu was born was the anniversary of her mother's death

The third boy leaned in, seriously recalling the pronunciation of the character, and said, "Yao. Ye Yao Yu Lu."

Many years later, Ye Qiaolv still remembers this day. She remembers Ye Jing's words of apology, and she recalls his slightly hoarse voice

Ah. "Shi Yu Mei turned around, stood up, and asked, 'Did you buy the food?'"

Thus, he/she let go.

Four boys surrounded the motionless Ye Qiaolv.

Strands of hair brushed against her cheek, causing a tickling sensation

Ye Qiaolu obediently set it down

The third boy pointed at the fourth boy and said, "You have killed someone!"

Shi Yu Mei looked at Ye Qiao Lu with a smile and said, "Let's get up and eat."

The second boy was holding a green backpack with leaves and looking at the card attached to it. He said, "Her name has four characters, Ye does not know what Yu Lu is."

Ye Qiaolv felt guilty. The phone number was written in her notebook. However, she just did not want to tell this beautiful aunt. This aunt had a strange smell about her, which she could not quite identify, somewhat reminiscent of the fish that Aunt Zhen had brought back. Nevertheless, she thought the aunt's smile was just like that of the good people on television

"Here." The boy glanced at Ye Qiao Lu.

Nine-year-old Ye Qiaolu, dressed in a small cotton jacket and carrying a small backpack, ran away from home

As soon as I took a step, I bumped my head

She only recognizes the way to school in her daily life, and unconsciously walks in the direction of the school. She lowers her head and closely watches the ground, fearing to encounter any neighbors.

What should I do

At this moment, Ye Qiaolu regained her senses and let out a painful groan. As she slightly opened her eyes, she saw four dark figures above her. Then, the pain in her head caused her to close her eyes once more
