Let’s Lose A Billion Today First

Mu Shen has never seen his parents.

In his memory, he has been living with his grandma.

When they were young, they lived in a courtyard.

The courtyard is not big, but many people live there.

To make ends meet, his grandma goes out early and returns late every day, and Mu Shen can only be alone in the yard.

There are many children in the yard, but they don't play with him.

"You are a child without parents, we won't play with you."

"Your mother is a torn shoe, disgusting."

"Your dad doesn't know who it is, stay away from us and don't play with us."

These words are what he hears most.

When he was a child, Mu Shen didn't quite understand the words these children said.

Of course, those children seem to understand, they all heard it from adults.

Mu Shen didn't feel much when he heard them say, because he had never seen his parents.

until one day.

A little girl in a princess dress walked patheticly to the corner where he usually sits. Regardless of the dirt on the floor, she sat down.

The little girl held her round face and asked him softly: "Why are you sitting here all the time?"

Mu Shen had some impressions of this little girl.

Although she lives in such an environment, she always seems to be cleaner than the children here.

She changed into new skirts and new clothes every so often.

Her father is also very provocative, and every time he comes back, he will take her to teach those and bully her children.

That is the fatherly love that Mu Shen has never had...

Xiao Mu Shen hugged herself tightly and shrank herself in a corner, unwilling to talk to her.

The little girl muttered to herself, seeing him ignore herself, and be quiet for a while.

It was getting dark outside, and she might be tired, lying on her knees and sleepy.

Boom

The sky exploded with a loud thunder.

The little girl woke up, first glanced at the sky, then patted her chest.

The heavy rain is pouring down, and the little girl sits outside, and the floating rain will wet her clothes.

She looked at him, somewhat cautiously: "Brother, can I come in a little bit?"

Xiao Mu Shen didn't say a word, just moved inside.

The little girl sat in happily and took out a candy from her pocket to give him: "Brother, please eat candy."

Her hands are white and tender, with baby fat.

He looked at the candy lying in his white palm.

Other children always have candy, but he doesn't.

Because it is very difficult for grandma to maintain their lives, there is no extra money to buy them for him.

Xiao Mu Shen hesitated for a long time, and carefully took the sugar away.

The rain hadn't stopped that day, and the little girl's grandma came back. She stood in the rain and waved at him.

Xiao Mu looked indifferently.

That was the first time he spoke to her.

When talking to her the second time, someone bullied him, and he was pushed, beaten and scolded by those children.

She suddenly stood up and confronted the children.

She has a super fierce father, and the children in the yard know that they don't dare to provoke her, so they dispersed.

"Does it hurt?" The little girl pulled him up and looked at the bruises on his body with distress.

Xiao Mu Shen shook his head.

"It must be painful."

The little girl fumbled on her body, and then took out another candy.

"Eat sugar, sugar is sweet."

The little girl smiled softly, her smile seemed to freeze in the afterglow of the setting sun.

That day, Xiao Mu Shen knew her name.

later……

Many times later.

She always appeared next to him and occasionally invited him to eat sweets. Her sweets were always weird. Many brands were said to be brought back by her father.

Sometimes Xiao Mu Shen couldn't figure it out.

The condition of her family should be very good. Why should she live in such a place and not move?

"Because grandma has lived here for a lifetime." The little girl said crisply: "My father wants to work, so I can only live with grandma."

"where is your mom?"

"..." The little girl pursed her lips and breathed softly: "I don't know."

After speaking, she smiled again.

"look."

Xiao Mu Shen followed her hand and looked at the beautiful sugar paper in the sun, the color as beautiful as stars falling into the river.

Xiao Chuzheng has a thick notebook with beautiful candy paper inside.

Xiao Chuzheng showed him that it was really beautiful.

"Dad said that sugar is sweet and can dispel all bad moods."

-

After they met, nothing particularly important happened, just like other people's lives.

Later, her father died.

She lives with her grandma, but she is still not short of money. Her grandma also spoils her. She is still an enviable little princess.

Just a few years later.

It was raining that day, Mu Shen came back from school and found that the atmosphere in the yard was not right.

Mu Shen saw her sitting alone under the big withered tree in the yard.

The weather was very hot, her skin was red from the sun, and tears flowed down silently.

"What...what's wrong?"

Mu Shen walked up to her and asked her.

She raised her head, the little girl choked up: "Grandma is gone."

Mu Shen didn't know what to say, and could only stand silently with her under the blazing sun.

Grandma left a sum of money when she left, and the people in the yard arranged the funeral for her.

Her fate became a problem again.

However, just when everyone was worried, a woman appeared, claiming to be her mother, and came to take her away.

On the day she left, she came to him.

"We may not be able to meet in the future, leave this to you." She left him the notebook, and at the same time gave him a few candies.

"Goodbye, brother."

Mu Shen watched her get into the car parked outside the yard. It was a car that no one had seen before. It was different from the ones on the road and looked more luxurious.

Mu Shen squeezed the notebook in his hand.

No matter when, she is a bright moon in the sky.

-

Mu Shen probably only had a little affection for her as a playmate. After she left, Mu Shen gradually forgot about her.

However, he did not know why the habit of eating sugar and preserving sugar paper was retained.

Maybe it was because of what she said-sugar is sweet and can dispel all bad moods.

Life is miserable.

Can be solved by eating sugar.

-

Mu Shen did not expect that they would meet again.

Still in that situation, with so many people, she managed it all alone.

He didn't know why, when someone came after him, he would drag her away.

Later I heard her name.

He gradually overlapped the person in front of him with the soft little girl in his memory.

similar……

But they are not similar.

I met again, just in that small alley.

His condition was not good...

Mu Shen couldn't tell what his state was, like being controlled by someone, he could only watch, but couldn't stop it.

The anger made him lose his mind.

Then she appeared.

She said-killing is not good for you, don't kill.

Mu Shen didn't know whether she remembered that playmate.

He wanted to ask several times, but he didn't ask.

Until she asked.

From her reaction, Mu Shen knew that she was not interested in the past, or even reluctant to mention it.

Like her, Mu Shen can't control it.

He always felt that she was different from when she was a child...

Until that night, she said she wanted to like her now.

Although Mu Shen felt that what happened when he was a child had some influence on him, he liked her, but he started to meet her again.

What he likes is...Chuzheng when he grows up.
