Prologue, from now on, we are good friends.

The cabin is located in a remote corner of the Xu family, with a small area and quite rudimentary. Even the servants are too lazy to clean it regularly. It is a quiet little haven.

For him, this is such a unfamiliar term.

Do not! The boy's agate-like dark and bright eyes flashed a hint of panic, and he immediately shook his head to refuse without thinking.

In the next few days.

With a slight tremble of her thick eyelashes, a strange light flashed through her clear pupils. She seemed to have remembered something and muttered to herself in distress, "Oh no! I forgot to check on the injured bird today. It's snowing, I don't know if it's frozen to death!"

Under the dense eyelashes, a pair of black pearl-like pupils reflect patches of pure white snowflakes. The delicate cherry lips slowly bloom into a smile as pure and beautiful as snowflakes.

The panicked expression immediately spread across his face!

Where is Mingzhe gege? Xu Wanda's heart was in her throat, and she anxiously asked, "Have Mom and Dad treated him well?"

Speaking of this, she paused, raised her eyes to look at him, and in her eyes as dark as pearls, there seemed to be a layer of mist, "But fortunately, I have Little Doo Doo, it accompanies me through every unhappy time!"

The girl, after getting everything ready, slowly walked up to him with a nervous look on her face and said in a low voice, "It will hurt a lot...".

Did you all know?

She looked at him with an expression of unbearable concern and said, "At this rate, you won't be able to hold on..."

The pain coming from her buttocks made her round little face wrinkle up, but she pressed her lips and didn't let herself cry out.

At this moment, she had already forgotten the pain on her buttocks. Without saying a word, she grabbed his hand and ran quickly towards her home. Before the imposing Guan Qiuyao could catch up, they had already entered the yard of the Xu family.

The little boy, with a look of panic on his face, paused for a moment. Then he quickly walked to her side, clasped her arms with both hands, and tried to help her up.

The girl hurriedly grabbed his hand and said solemnly, "Follow me!"

The boy hesitantly repeated, "Friend?"

The girl did not notice his change of expression, and continued to say softly, "Later, my father finally found a new mother for me, and I also gained a new sister. At first, I was really happy. The originally quiet home finally became lively. But it seemed that the new mother only had eyes for my sister and never paid any attention to me. Moreover, the new sister didn't like me. No matter what I did, she would always oppose me..."

At this moment, a familiar piano piece faintly came from the next room, the unremarkable piano sound seemed out of place with the beautiful snow scene.

She was determined to bring the little bird back home as soon as possible. Therefore, under the hazy orange light, she kept accelerating her pace and ran forward in the snow.

The girl finally breathed a sigh of relief. She acted quickly and methodically to stop his bleeding and then bandage the wound. The series of actions were completed very efficiently.

Sorry ... ...

The girl's nose felt sour for a moment, and she suppressed the urge to cry. After a moment of contemplation, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, so she immediately jumped off the chair, "Wait for me."

The snow outside the window dances gracefully, and the beautiful snowflakes seem to come from the depths of the night as if they were elves, falling lively and making this cold winter night look like a fairy tale world.

It's okay... He lowered his face slightly, biting his lip and trying hard to endure it. The beads of sweat on his forehead became more and more dense.

The boy looked at her with a bewildered expression, but the alertness in his eyes had dissipated, and his expression softened quietly under the candlelight.

She took out a small wooden doll from her pocket that she never parted with, caressed it with some reluctance, and then, with a heavy heart, handed it over.

The girl looked straight at him with a pair of watery eyes, her sweet smile like falling snow, clean without any impurities.

The girl noticed his hesitation and considerately said, "That is the only memento your mother left for you. It's too precious. Choose something else to give me, anything will do."

She placed the cardboard box on the small coffee table and, as she sorted out the items inside the box, she said, "In the past, there would always be injured little birds falling to the ground in the woods. I would pick them up, bandage them, and when I saw them able to fly again, I was truly happy..."

A girl of about seven or eight years old couldn't resist the temptation. She gently pushed open the window in the bedroom. Immediately, a strong cold wind blew in, blowing on her tender face.

A cold snowy night.

The girl stood up with difficulty while enduring the pain, holding her sore buttocks and pouting her pink and tender lips, murmuring, "It hurts so much...".

Xu Wanda suddenly became flustered, her thoughts in disarray. She was both worried and sad as she hurriedly walked past Xu Yunxi, muttering to herself as she went downstairs, "No, he can't just leave like that. We agreed to play chess together today..."

He stared at her intently, his face devoid of any expression, fine beads of sweat quietly trickling down his pale face.

The girl smiled brightly at her, revealing two cute dimples on her pink and tender cheeks. Her beauty was both bright and sweet. She blinked her clear eyes and looked at him with a sparkling gaze. "Hmm, my name is Xu Wanda. From now on, we are friends. We should care for each other, never leave or abandon each other..."

She gently opened the door of the small wooden house and ran out.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of pain!" The boy's hands clenched tightly, and a stubborn and resolute determination beyond his years could be heard in his tender voice.

Xu Wanda's face turned pale in an instant. She turned around in astonishment and stared at her sister in disbelief, her voice trembling as she asked, "What did you say?"

The dim light of the street lamp gently falls on her body, creating a layer of dreamlike orange glow, and the tears in the corners of her eyes resemble dewdrops on morning flower petals, sparkling and captivating.

He paused for a moment, fell silent, and then a thought flashed through his mind. He put his hand on his neck, tugged at the necklace, but then suddenly stopped, seeming a bit hesitant.

He suddenly cried out in pain, his face instantly turning extremely pale. He subconsciously clenched his teeth, desperately enduring the incredibly intense pain coming from the wound.

The boy's low voice was somewhat hoarse, and his agate-like eyes looked at her with anxiety and apology, revealing a bitterness that did not belong to his age.

Xu Yunxi's mouth curled with a hint of malicious smile. She said calmly, "Ah, there's something I forgot to tell you. That annoying boy had an accident last night and fell into that so-called Wishing River..."

The boy stared at her blankly without saying a word.

Thinking of this, she was extremely anxious, and without time to close the window, she quickly rushed out of the bedroom.

Um?

Although she has not had much contact with her, she often heard people say that Aunt Qiuyao was very dissatisfied with Uncle Ou's illegitimate child. She often picked on him. It is also because he is an illegitimate child that most of the neighbors nearby do not like him. Even her sister often teased him together with his half-brother.

The boy was stunned again.

This...is the birthday gift my mother gave me. It's the only memento she left me. The boy didn't shy away from her touch. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before asking, "Why do you want to help me?"

She was completely stunned, her eyes blinking without pause, as a silent snowflake fell onto her eyelashes, quietly moistening her eye sockets.

The boy looked at the puppet in his hand, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He hesitated and said, "But you gave it to me, what are you going to do?"

Xu Yunxi rolled his eyes and said, "What can my parents do to him? Last night, after you fell asleep, his family took him away!"

The boy nodded gratefully, fumbling around on his body and finally only finding a small key. He bit his lip and handed the key to her, saying somewhat embarrassedly, "This is all I have on me, it's the key to the old house where my mother and I used to live... I'm giving it to you!"

The boy's expression was complex and tense, his thin lips pressed into a stiff curve. Without time to say much to her, he planned to run away from her side.

By the light of the candle, she could clearly see a layer of fine sweat on the boy's forehead. Her gaze couldn't help but fall on the shocking wound on his chest again, and her heart suddenly ached. She looked at him with distress and cautiously suggested, "You have suffered such a serious injury, shall I take you to the hospital first?"

She exclaimed "Ah!" and involuntarily took a few steps back, then suddenly fell to the ground!

This is my home, don't worry, they won't find it!

By the way, the necklace on your neck looks very nice. She reached out and touched the exquisitely designed necklace on the boy's neck. The pendant in the center of the necklace was engraved with the letter "M".

Listening to the piano sound with frequent rhythm errors, she couldn't help but extend a fair little hand. A light snowflake drifted down onto her palm, cool and then slowly melted by the warmth of her palm...

Her voice is very soft and tender, listening to it makes people's hearts irresistibly soft, giving rise to infinite tenderness.

In the clear pupils, a glimmer of compassion immediately appeared. She trembled and said, "How could this be inserted into your body! And so much blood has been shed... It must be very painful, right?"

He opened his mouth, but before he could speak, a string of curses erupted from not far behind him.

The same loneliness, the same weakness that can only be bullied...

As he gazed upon her sweet and lovely face, the boy became somewhat entranced, and an inexplicable warmth spread throughout his heart.

The cabin was very dark, but afraid of attracting attention by turning on the lights, the girl found a candle and lit it, placing it on the ground. The faint candlelight quietly illuminated two young faces.

She told herself to stay calm, but still felt a little uneasy, even the air in the room seemed to freeze instantly.

She sighed softly, sat down beside him, hugged her knees, and looked ahead with a somewhat confused gaze. Unable to control her emotions, she slowly began to speak to him, "My mother passed away during childbirth, and I have never seen her. I have always envied other children who have their mothers by their side since I was young..."

However, she didn't care at all and simply admired the beauty of the night sky.

Snow falls and then stops, stops and then falls.

Why did you save me?

Now everyone knows! Xǔ Yúnxī looked mockingly at his sister, "At such a young age, she learned to hide people at home. I wonder who she learned it from!"

Long eyelashes blink one by one, the girl tilts her head and says: "It's okay, I can talk to the birds. Sometimes they even 'chirp' back to me!"
