Ye Ning xue

The girl subconsciously took a step back, but she didn't run away like usual. In the dim light, she could see his face clearly, and she could see his eyes clearly. He's very good-looking … The girl couldn't help but think in her heart. His eyes were full of vicissitudes and melancholy that didn't match his age, but not the slightest bit of disgust. Instead, they had a kind of enchanting charm that would make people deeply immersed in them and unable to extricate themselves.

She stared at him blankly for a long time as if she was possessed. Then she looked at him and then at the fruit in her hand. She secretly swallowed a small mouthful of saliva. Then she gently picked up the fruit and said timidly, "Big brother, do you want to eat?"

Ye Wuchen couldn't help but laugh. He squatted down, smiled and shook his head. Then he reached out his hand and slowly approached her face. He gently brushed the two terrible scars on her face, and a weak colorless light lit up on his fingertips. The girl was completely stunned, her eyes widened, and her mouth opened wide. She was motionless as if she was frozen, completely forgetting to dodge.

After a few seconds, Ye Wuchen retracted his hands and frowned slightly. He softly asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"

The girl continued to be stunned for a long time, then weakly said, "I … I don't have a name."

"No name? Then where's your home? Why did you appear in this place? "

"I don't have a home … I was here when I woke up, I don't know anything." The girl shook her head. His voice was very gentle, and it slowly calmed her pounding heart.

"You don't remember anything from before, right?"

The girl was startled, then looked at him and gently nodded, her eyes filled with helplessness. She didn't have a home, a past, and even her own name. Almost everyone here hated her. Every time they saw her, they would hit her with sticks, stones, and chase her. She could only desperately run away, then hide in a corner and secretly cry. She just instinctively wanted to live. She had no companions, no goals, nothing at all.

"So that's how it is …" Ye Wuchen smiled again. He also inexplicably appeared here, and also had no past. Perhaps this was the mysterious fate. He felt a deep sense of pity in his heart and said softly, "Don't you want to have a big brother? A big brother who won't let you go hungry, let alone let others bully you."

The girl looked at him in surprise. She was at a loss and didn't know how to answer.

"Can I be your brother? I won't let you starve, nor will I let anyone bully you. "

The girl's eyes widened as she held the fruit that was even bigger than her palm, not knowing what to do. Her heart and the corner of her eyes were sore, as if something was about to surge up. She said timidly, "Can I …? They all hate me and beat me because I … "

Ye Wuchen stood up and gently held her little hand. "Come with me. From now on, you are my sister. No one can bully you anymore. "

The young girl stared at him in a daze. An unfamiliar warmth came from the hand that was gently holding her left hand. Unknowingly, her eyes were filled with tears.

The young girl's world was blank. When everyone hated her and the world abandoned her, he held her hand and made a vow to protect her for the rest of her life. From then on, his shadow was deeply imprinted in her heart and could never be erased. Her attachment to him was like taking the most poisonous opium in the world, and she could never quit it.

It was also from this moment that the two paths of life that could never intersect merged together.

Ye Wuchen didn't explain to Chu Jingtian and the old man why he brought her back. The two of them didn't ask much, nor did they object. That night, the wooden bed that he had slept on for ten years became the girl's first bed. Ye Wuchen stood outside the room and silently looked at the vast night sky. No one knew what he was thinking.

In the silence, he stretched out his left arm and used the nail of his right hand to lightly scratch his arm. Suddenly, a short wound appeared on his arm, and beads of blood began to gush out. He used the finger of his right hand to touch the wound again. The wound immediately disappeared, not even leaving a trace.

He put down his hands and frowned in confusion. In his memories, he did have this kind of ability, but why didn't he get rid of the wound on her face?

Was it really a wound?

"Big brother."

A sweet voice sounded from behind him. Ye Wuchen turned around and looked at the young girl with half her face exposed. "It's late, why aren't you sleeping?"

The young girl hesitated for a moment, and then said with an expectant expression, "I want to sleep with big brother, is that okay?"

"Oh? Sure. " Ye Wuchen smiled and agreed. He didn't want her to reveal a disappointed expression, and he didn't want her to feel inferior because of her hair color and wound. At the very least, he wanted her to know that he would never hate her or reject her.

"Really?" The young girl cried out in excitement. Then, her body was picked up by Ye Wuchen and laid on the simple wooden bed.

"Alright, little girl, go to sleep." Ye Wuchen held her against his chest, his gentle voice like he was coaxing a cute baby.

"En!" She happily answered, and leaned her body tightly against his warm chest. Then, she found the most comfortable position and lazily closed her eyes. Her smiling face was continuously flushed with tears. She was so happy that she wanted to cry.

"What should I call you?" Caressing her long white hair, Ye Wuchen muttered to himself. The young girl raised her head and looked at him in confusion. Her skin was exceptionally white, and in the dark night, it still released a glow that was whiter than snow. Ye Wuchen's eyebrows jumped, and he softly said, "Ningxue is skin, Ningxue is hair. You'll be called Ye Ningxue, okay? Do you like this name? "

"Ye … Ning … Xue …" She softly repeated it, and then nodded her head heavily. "I really like this name, because big brother gave it to me."

That night. She slept peacefully like never before. There was no misery, no cold, no fear, because she had a big brother who would always protect her.

Ye Wuchen's body did not move, and he waited until she fell into a light sleep. He finally let out a soft sigh, and his eyes blurred as he looked at the sky, until he unknowingly fell asleep.

Who am I …

… … …

The next morning, when Ye Wuchen opened his eyes, Ningxue was still curled up in his arms like a lazy kitten, sleeping sweetly and peacefully. Ye Wuchen's mouth couldn't help but reveal a slight smile. He didn't have the heart to disturb her, so he laid there motionlessly, listening to the movements outside. As expected, it was much more noisy during the day than at night. Right now, it seemed to be breakfast time, and there was a slight commotion outside. From his conversation with Chu Jingtian yesterday, he found out that this sealed area had already had hundreds of people after many years of reproduction. They were divided into several small areas, and usually, they didn't interact much. And in this small area, there were more than thirty adults and children, and they usually gathered together to eat.

The noise made Ningxue slowly wake up. She opened her hazy eyes, and then frantically looked for Wuchen's figure, only to discover that he was looking at her with a funny expression. She also laughed softly, and then once again curled up in his arms, comfortably closing her eyes.
