When Lin Qiye opened his eyes again, Yurina had already written a line on the paper and held it up before him.
The Japanese that had previously made no sense to Lin Qiye was now easy for him to understand.
—Are you unable to hear?
Lin Qiye was not particularly surprised when he saw the question. Given how he had behaved before, it was hardly strange for the little girl to misunderstand.
Lin Qiye nodded.
Yurina wore an expression of knowing it. She bent down, wrote something else on the paper, and held it up.
—What is your name?
Lin Qiye froze for a moment when he saw the question, then shook his head.
He took the pen from Yurina and wrote a line on the paper.
—I don't remember.
Although Lin Qiye had mastered Japanese, he knew nothing about Japanese names. Rather than forcing himself to come up with some ridiculous name, he might as well play dumb. That would spare him some questioning and make it easier to ask common-sense questions later.
The pity in Yurina's gaze toward Lin Qiye deepened.
Not only was he deaf, but had he smashed his brain too when he tried to kill himself... How pitiful.
After hesitating for a moment, she still wrote a sentence on the paper and firmly held it up before Lin Qiye.
—As you can see, my family's situation is very bad. I can't even support myself and Grandma Crane, much less take care of you. If you really have nowhere to go, you can stay here for one night. Leave by yourself tomorrow. But don't tell anyone that you've seen me after you go out. The police are still tracking me.
Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow and wrote:
—Why are those police tracking you?
Yurina fell silent
