Heartbreaker

"First of all, I completely understand this matter. We've all been through this age, so those who understand will understand. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"Secondly, although this makes me feel that you might be a little naive, don't worry, I won't treat you differently because of this."

"Thirdly, school will be over soon, and I have to go to my part-time job, so we can talk about it later."

Goodbye!

Before Chun could even respond, Wuling had already made a hasty retreat; otherwise, why would he stay here and eat for nothing?

Chun wanted to raise her hand to say something, but the other person ran too fast. She only managed to utter the word "wait" before all she could see was his back.

"Abu, you really should practice your handwriting. You write so slowly and so badly, I almost didn't recognize you."

As Wuling ran, he talked to himself in the air beside him.

"I've never been to school, so I've already done my part by answering your question. Don't be so picky."

That's right. Actually, everything Wuling said before was written down by Abu in front of him, and he only needed to read it aloud.

But because I write so slowly, I have to pause for a few minutes before each answer, and because my writing is so ugly, I have to look at it for a few minutes before each answer.

But having something is better than having nothing, right?

Otherwise, given his own limited conversational skills, he'd probably kill the conversation in just a few sentences.

Wuling glanced down at the time and realized it was almost 4 o'clock.

We need to hurry, go back and gather everyone, then we're off! Sigh, I really envy those rich kids, they don't have to do anything and they still have more money than they can spend.

Do I really have to go back to the assembly point now? Never mind, I'll ask later. I'll go back today.

Wuling hadn't run very far and returned in just a few minutes. To his surprise, Calcharo hadn't gotten lost.

After saying a few simple words, the school was officially dismissed.

At Wuling, he rushed off the campus without stopping.

Holy crap, why do I feel like a beast of burden? All I do every day is run around to different places.

Fortunately, there were no guests yet when they arrived, so Wuling was able to rest in the warehouse for a while.

I wasn't physically tired, but mentally exhausted. Taking a break was pointless; I just wanted to take the opportunity to go to the warehouse and tease Bozai.

"What? Is it cute? You've been holding it the whole time."

A voice came from behind. Wuling turned around and saw a girl he didn't recognize.

No, perhaps it should be called a loli? But it doesn't quite feel like one. Her body is a little bigger than a loli, but her face is a little younger than a teenage girl's. It's kind of a quantum superposition state.

Is it as cute as me?

When the unknown white-haired girl saw Wuling looking at her, she put her index fingers to the corners of her mouth and made a smiling expression.

Wuling:?

No? Who are you? Do I know you?

Wuling went through his memories of the first half of his life and confirmed that he did not know her, and that this should not even be the first time they had met.

Judging from the looks of it, perhaps someone's child has wandered here? It certainly seems like that's a possibility.

Thinking of this, Wuling put Bozai in the nest, turned around, squatted down, and patted the head of the white-haired little girl.

"Little friend, did you run here by yourself? Where is your mother? Shall I take you to find her?"

But to his surprise, the little girl showed a resentful expression when she heard Wuling's words.

"Faithless man."

Wuling:?

Wuling even wondered if there was something wrong with his hearing system.

No, I've never even been in a relationship, how could I be a heartless man?

And do I know you? Why are you calling me that?

In that instant, Wuling thought about many things and finally came to a conclusion: it was because he was playing on his phone.

Before Wuling, when I was in Huanglong, this kind of thing often happened. A group of elementary school students would either shout that they were suffering or that something was wrong. And it wasn't just online; it happened quite often in real life as well.

It's hard to imagine that a child would treat the poor not with pity, but with ridicule.

I Wuling thought this was just an isolated incident, but it turns out it's the same overseas.

He looked at the child in front of him; the child didn't seem very old. With a little effort, he thought, the child could probably still be saved.

"You really don't recognize me?"

Seeing his reaction, the white-haired loli gently clenched her sleeve, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Wuling stared at her youthful yet unfamiliar face, his mind racing. He was certain he had never seen her before.

"Have I... seen you somewhere before?"

Wuling stood up, took a half-step back, and created some distance.

"Little friend, if you're looking for your parents, I can help you contact the shop owner or notify the school. You can't just label someone a heartless man like that."

The white-haired loli gave a soft hum, took a step forward, and approached him. Although she didn't look very big, her aura was nothing like that of a child.

"Is it wrong to call you a heartless man? Just half an hour ago you were begging him for help, and now you've already forgotten about him."

The white-haired loli became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, as if Wuling in front of her was truly a heartless man who toyed with a young girl's feelings.

Half an hour ago?

Wuling thought about it carefully. She had been at school half an hour ago, but she hadn't seen her there at all. She had just said she needed help, but who was she supposed to ask for help from?

Wait a minute, I think I actually did ask someone for help.

Wuling looked up and carefully examined the white-haired loli in front of her, trying to find common ground between her and what she had guessed.

But no matter how you look at them, they seem to be completely different except that they are both alive.

Finally, Wuling shifted his gaze to her head.

That thing is...

A French fry-shaped hair clip was pinned to the girl's head. Wuling was absolutely certain that it was the same shape that Abu had insisted on having him buy for her.

Looking at the little girl in front of him again, Wuling suddenly noticed that her eyes were the same as Abu's, with a blue left eye and an orange right eye.

If one coincidence is a coincidence, then when two coincidences are combined, the answer becomes obvious.

"You are... Abu?"

Wuling hesitated before uttering this name; he really couldn't think of anything else.

As soon as she finished speaking, the white-haired girl's eyes lit up, and her previous aggrieved demeanor vanished instantly. As if a switch had been flipped, she straightened up on the spot and put her hands on her hips.

"Finally recognized you! I acted for so long, I almost thought you were really too stupid to notice."

She shook her head, causing the single strand of hair on her head to bob, and her heterochromatic eyes stared brightly at Wuling.

... No way.
