Chapter 4: The Story of Ye Qingmeng

Dingdang is a robot with a doll-like face, dressed in children's clothing, which is indeed very cute and quite well put together. Dingdang is currently observing him, with crystal eyes blinking playfully.

They want to do bad things to you. So they intend to bully you. Zhou Tianyu felt a bit of a headache; it turned out that the troubles girls cause are not limited to what is written in books about accompanying them shopping and dealing with their little tempers at any time, but also include their tendency to dig deep into matters.

Last Sunday, Zhou Tianyu took Qingmeng's ID card to the community to handle some related procedures. Upon learning that he was taking care of the special needs individual Ye Qingmeng, the community referred to him as a good comrade. After the community center, Zhou Tianyu hired a relocation engineering team and paid the fees. In just one hour, they established a foundation and merged it into Zhou Tianyu's building, completing the task efficiently. They even organized a small balcony, transforming it into a flower shed, moving all the flowers from the rooftop into it. Zhou Tianyu also invited workers to install a small elevator inside the house for Qingmeng's convenience, addressing issues with the water pipes and electrical supply. By 1 PM, they finally enjoyed a delicious meal. Zhou Tianyu was pleasantly surprised by how tasty Qingmeng's cooking was, praising her as a great chef, and he looked forward to enjoying good food in the future.

However, recently that girl has been coming less and less often, her complexion growing increasingly pale, yet her smile becomes ever more sacred. It has been two years, and I have only dared to observe her from a distance, never daring to disturb her, unwilling to tarnish her sanctity with my rudeness. Will she still come? Why hasn't she come yet? Perhaps she won't come today either. I glanced at the sun, which was already revealing more than half of its face, and couldn't help but light a cigarette in my hand. I made a decision in my heart: if she comes again, I will definitely take the initiative to greet her.

"... ... Good." Zhou Tianyu agreed to her, but could she see it? Yet could she refuse herself?

Dingdang is very cute, and the children around us all praise Dingdang for being beautiful

Wandering aimlessly, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't seen her for a few days and thought I should go take a look, perhaps I might catch a glimpse of her. I strolled to Chaoyang Park and arrived at the usual spot, where I found her sitting by the lake in the pavilion as always. My attention was drawn to a small grove in the corner, where there often sat a girl in a wheelchair who would come to greet the morning sun. Although she could not be considered particularly beautiful, she exuded an extraordinary tranquility. Whenever the sunlight illuminated her face and the book she was reading, it created a sense of sanctity. In that moment, the girl would smile in the morning light, and that smile was particularly enchanting, captivating those who beheld it. In that instant, I felt a sense of pilgrimage; as long as I could see her smile each day, I would feel invigorated throughout the day. Perhaps what I was seeking was that feeling, a home for my heart.

She, bathed in the morning sun, was disturbed. Turning her head to look around, she began to listen attentively, hearing the sound of scattered footsteps approaching from this direction, her face revealing a hint of surprise

Ah... what a kind and innocent girl

Oh? ... ... Damn it, brothers, let's go over there

Damn it, these bastards. Zhou Tianyu cursed and quickly stood up to rush over.

"Are you trying to do something bad to me? Do you think you can bully me because I can't see?" Her gentle voice seemed to carry a hint of surprise. It appears that in her definition of a bad person, an adult bad person should engage in much worse deeds, rather than these trivial mischiefs that even children today no longer play with.

The sound of sobbing has become barely audible, indicating that her attention has shifted.

Zhou Tianyu turned around and looked at the pale face of the frightened girl, whose delicate features were marred by two streaks where tears had rolled down. Overwhelmed with self-reproach, he hurriedly took out a tissue and offered it to her, only to startle her once again.

Get lost! Zhou Tianyu suppressed his temper and uttered a cold word. At another time, these few guys would definitely not know how to die when they encountered Zhou Tianyu

He gradually opened up and told her that his name was Zhou Tianyu, that he was eighteen years old, one year older than her, and that she should call him brother. He had seen her in the park two years ago and had been quietly watching over her ever since. He wanted to take care of her and would treat her like a dear younger sister, ensuring that no bad people would bully her again

"Qing Ge, should we leave two people to keep an eye on them?" asked a slender young man

I can't believe it, what a slippery hand, I didn't expect this girl to be so charming... Haha, the boss burst into laughter.

They... made Zhou Tianyu unsure of how to respond, "They are bad people," was the only vague answer he could give her

The several young men, as if granted a great pardon, fled far away with their people, looking dejected.

Who are they? ... ... Why are they bullying me? ... ... " The voice was low, carrying a sob, yet there was no hatred in it.

Those youths emitted incomprehensible strange laughter

Suddenly, fragmented footsteps and voices entered Zhou Tianyu's ears. Zhou Tianyu cast an annoyed sidelong glance at a group of youths, likely a bunch of delinquents who had been wandering all night. They were walking along the lakeside towards the small grove, with faint voices audible.

She appeared, still with her eyes closed, basking in the morning sun, wearing that familiar smile. Zhou Tianyu was left in a daze, entranced...

"May I see what you look like? I want to remember you." Her voice was soft and low, somewhat timid

Perhaps... maybe it is like this. Zhou Tianyu's voice was somewhat faint, as if he himself did not believe these words.

Damn it, take him down

In the distance

The chilling and mournful scream of the leader as he was struck down sent shockwaves through them. The ignorant were fearless; they had not witnessed how the leader had been sent flying and were convinced that it was this suddenly appearing young man who had employed some underhanded ambush.

Seeing her surrounded by those young men, Zhou Tianyu felt a sense of foreboding and, disregarding the impact, jumped up in a fit of anxiety, soaring seven to eight meters into the air, astonishing! "Continuous movement!" With a light roar, he swayed a few times in mid-air and transformed into a blur, rushing towards the leader.

"Well, then I will follow brother's lead." The voice, however, was almost inaudible.

The boss has passed out, it seems like his sternum is completely shattered. Da Mao and Er Mao also seem to be incapacitated, and there is bleeding below. This kid is truly ruthless!" said someone named Qing Ge.

Without even looking at the fist that was about to hit him, Zhou Tianyu kicked out. At the moment the fist was almost touching Zhou Tianyu's face, both of them screamed and flew out, as Zhou Tianyu had used a short burst of power. One of them received a kick below, and it is estimated that their lower body was rendered useless.

Yes, follow me

"Elder brother is an adult and doesn't mind, what is the little girl thinking? In the future, elder brother can take care of you every day and protect you." Zhou Tianyu gently rubbed Qingmeng's nose and continued, "When my little sister wants to get married in the future, elder brother will send you off and even provide a dowry." His words carried a hint of bitterness.

Finally finished reading, a blush appeared on her face, and she looked very satisfied, with a smile reappearing on her radiant and charming face

Yes, Monkey, you and Huang Mao be clever with the library and the machine. Go ahead, we will first take the boss to the hospital; if we delay, he might not be saved.

Ding Dong, please open the door, brother is here to see us

Haha ... ...

A pair of hands caressed and moved upward, reaching Zhou Tianyu's chin, still striving to stretch higher. Zhou Tianyu hurriedly bent down. It turned out she could also see, using touch, using the "heart" to perceive.

What are you doing... Get out of the way!! Ah...

Upon a cursory glance, it appears to be somewhat smaller than the place where I reside, likely consisting of a living room, one bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom layout

However, she suddenly answered for him

The burning sensation of the cigarette reaching its end jolted Zhou Tianyu out of his contemplation. He flicked the cigarette butt and accurately shot it into the trash can. Habitually glancing over there, his eyes could no longer look away.

Her ordinary and unremarkable appearance, surprisingly, is considered beautiful in her eyes, reflecting a peculiar sense of aesthetics

"Brother, this isn't appropriate." Generally, it is only those adult couples who live together, and she felt a bit embarrassed.

Zhou Tianyu entered the room and looked around. The room was very clean and tidy, without a trace of the mess she mentioned. It is likely that the rooms of ordinary girls are not as neat as hers.

A small hand reached out, groping for the tissue in front of her. Her eyes, filled with tears, stared blankly ahead, yet there was no focus. It turned out she had always been unable to see. Zhou Tianyu felt a pang in his heart and hurriedly stuffed the tissue into her hand.

Arranging for Daitou to take care of Qingmeng, Zhou Tianyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, as the long-held burden on his heart was lifted. He felt an indescribable lightness, and with a chuckle, he declared, "Here I come, Genesis."

She provided a definition

Zhou Tianyu is no longer experiencing a headache; instead, he feels somewhat dizzy

He occasionally wanted to find something to say, but found himself at a loss for words; instead, she often shared amusing anecdotes from her childhood or funny stories she had heard.

Are you alright? I have already chased those bad people away. Here are some tissues, you can wipe yourself. Zhou Tianyu tried to make his voice sound gentler.

Sister, let us live together. My room is larger than this one, and it is not far from here. I am already an adult and have a job, so I can fully take on the responsibility of raising and taking care of you.

At this moment, the fists of the several young men behind Zhou Tianyu could no longer strike down. Zhou Tianyu slowly turned around, disdainfully staring at them, causing these young men to retreat a few steps in horror.

You drove away the bad person, and the one who fights against the bad person is a good person

"Damn, who is this kid? When did such a fierce character appear in this area?" a young man with a few strands of green hair on his forehead asked the others

The group of young people had surrounded the wheelchair, and the one standing directly in front was likely the so-called leader of this group. He reached out to touch the girl's face, startling her. Instinctively, she leaned back, turning the wheels of the chair to retreat. However, despite her efforts to move back half a step, she found herself unable to do so, as one of the young men behind had already grasped the handles of the wheelchair.

Brother, please go in. I will get you something to drink. The room is quite messy, so feel free to sit anywhere

Oh... they really are very bad people. Her naive voice added another definition to the concept of bad people: very bad people do things that even children would do, or things that even children are unwilling to do. Because the children who used to bully her are no longer around, and those who once bullied her have grown up, developed a conscience, awakened, and become good people. They voluntarily protect her in her environment, advising the current children that she is a kind girl, that she treats you well, and that you should also treat her well.

Staying by her side, he felt that he was constantly harboring malicious thoughts, on the verge of becoming a bad person. He was extremely anxious, not daring to even breathe.

"So are you a good person or a bad person?" Her sudden question startled him and left him at a loss for how to respond. Am I a good person? Probably not. Am I a bad person? Have I done anything bad? It seems that when I think about it, everything I've done counts as bad. Oh, then am I not a very bad person? Zhou Tianyu felt extremely guilty, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.

She did not take a tissue but grasped Zhou Tianyu's hand tightly, like a drowning person clutching a lifeline, holding on with all her strength. Crystal-clear tears, like pearls on a broken string, cascaded down in a continuous stream, glistening on her pale face, as suppressed sobs escaped her lips.

Where do you live? I will take you back

She is in the front, and Zhou Tianyu is at the back

Have a glass of juice, I just squeezed it. You've walked such a long way, you must be tired, brother

Zhou Tianyu extended his other hand, gently wiping her tears with a handkerchief. However, the tears only increased. She suddenly pulled Zhou Tianyu close and embraced him tightly, crying out loud. Zhou Tianyu's body stiffened for a moment, then softened again. He placed his hands on her frail shoulders, gently comforting her. After a long while, her cries gradually subsided, and her tear-streaked face lifted up, yet she did not release her hold on Zhou Tianyu.

Looking at the cozy little house, Zhou Tianyu made a bold decision

Boss, there is a woman over there, quite beautiful... heh heh

The girl, feeling uneasy, screamed as the boss touched her face and even pinched it.

What cold hands they are! Zhou Tianyu couldn't help but cover those icy hands with his own. He decided to give her warmth

Two fists swung towards Zhou Tianyu, while the others circled around the wheelchair, preparing to launch an attack on Zhou Tianyu from behind

"Bad person?" It seems she is recalling the definition of a bad person. "Then why do they come to bully me?" It appears she still hasn't thought of an answer to why bad people would bully her, and she asked again.

Stepping outside, I held a cigarette in my mouth, yet did not light it. Standing at the door, I glanced around; most were people out for morning exercises, along with hurried office workers heading to early shifts and students rushing to school. There were also some workers delivering newspapers and milk. In the slums, these tasks were performed by the local residents, which seemed quite antiquated, as hiring a milk delivery worker in the slums was cheaper than employing a machine.

The several young men around still did not know what had happened; they only felt a gust of wind blow by, and their leader was sent flying out.

"Yes, I remember... you are very good-looking." It seemed as if she was encouraging herself, thinking that if she recalled this good person a few more times each day, she would surely remember him.

It turns out that Dingdang is a small robot, dressed in adorable girls' clothing, but it has only one metallic arm and walks rather unsteadily, likely due to the lack of warranty

It turns out that my sister's home is not far from mine; I have always thought that she could see me and therefore did not dare to follow her

It was then that she realized someone had been silently caring for her all along. She suddenly burst into tears, calling out to him as "brother" in a very affectionate manner, which brought him a sense of pain.

Bang! The boss was thrown out, and someone else has already taken the boss's position, Zhou Tianyu

I don't know. They all shook their heads

He gradually came to understand her; her name is Ye Qingmeng, she is seventeen years old, and also an orphan. She was able to see when she was younger, but her legs were affected by a car accident two years ago
