You Ye did not go to get the can, but disappeared into the darkness under the confused gaze of 'Su Yao'. Then he came back not long after.
But this time there was a big squeaking rat in her hand. When the rat saw 'Su Yao', it struggled even more fiercely.
"Crack-"
"squeak--"
Youye pinched the mouse's little head and turned it, and the guy screamed and stopped screaming.
"...Do you want to exchange it with me?"
'Su Yao' swallowed hard and raised his face to see You Ye nodding seriously.
"Pfft haha."
After staring at that serious look for a while, 'Su Yao' suddenly couldn't help laughing.
"Give."
Then he took the mouse and pushed all the cans in front of her.
After that, You Ye sat a little far away from 'Su Yao' and observed the cans.
"That's how it opens."
‘Su Yao’ picked up a canned fish and demonstrated how to open it with her own hands.
“···”
The latter opened another can in the same manner, then showed a happy look and looked at 'Su Yao' warily.
"This is what you exchanged. It's already yours."
'Su Yao' raised the mouse that was still twitching slightly on his hand.
In addition, holding the mouse that was warm to the touch, 'Su Yao' thought for a moment and put the mouse into her bag. Now, I just hope she thinks it is an equal exchange. Perhaps, for her, the best thing to do is to get the mouse.
The one I had to get rid of was this fat mouse that looked quite clean.
“···”
"What a lovely child."
Watching her desperately eating canned fish, 'Su Yao' couldn't help but sigh.
"Hi?"
You Ye looked at Su Yao doubtfully and spoke out in a childish voice.
"It's a child, say after me, child... son, a good child."
"Haizhi? Good boy?"
"Haha, you are very smart."
"Cong Ming?"
"... Do you want to start teaching from this level?"
Su Yao can feel his own feelings.
It's a feeling of finding simple things interesting, and at the same time really wanting to help them.
The scene lasted for several days, meeting each other at the same place after dark every day.
Slowly, Su Yao understood that Youye didn't understand anything, but he just couldn't express it well in words. Or maybe there was no one to talk to, so his pronunciation was very vague.
By the third day, I could basically chat with her normally.
"Don't you have a name?"
'Su Yao' was a little surprised after knowing this. It looked like Youye was over ten years old. After all, even a homeless person should have a name.
"What's the name...?"
Those innocent eyes stared at Su Yao doubtfully.
"A name is a code name. For example, my name is Su Yao. Yao from Jin Yaori."
"Su Yao?"
"right."
"There is no such thing."
"I'm not a thing. Ah, I know you mean you don't have a name, right?"
"yes."
“···”
'Su Yao' smiled bitterly, and then said, "How about I give you a name."
"?"
"Hmm... what should I pick? I haven't picked it for anyone before. I want something nicer."
"That's it, Yu Ye. Excellent Yu, Ye Ye. What do you think?"
"...Youye?"
There was confusion in her small eyes, "Thank you?"
"It's not thank you, it's your name. From now on, you will be Youye."
"Youye, it's me. What are you?"
"Me? I'm Su...ah, how about you call me big brother?"
"Big brother?"
“···”
From this time on, the monster becomes Yu Ye.
It may sound quite meaningful, but only Su Yao knows that it is just a name that 'himself' chose from the abbreviation of meeting an outstanding child at night.
As for the eldest brother, that is purely selfish and will not be mentioned.
"By the way, it's not okay for You Ye to wander outside like this, right?"
"Youye thinks it's okay."
"Have you considered going to an orphanage?"
"Welfare home? What is that? Is there anything to eat?"
"No, it's just an institution that takes in children who have been abandoned by their parents."
‘Su Yao’ explained this word carefully.
"Youye doesn't like it."
Youye must have shaken his head.
"Why?"
"Youye likes big brother, but hates humans."
"ah."
I really don’t know how to answer this.
"Then... do you want to stay at eldest brother's house?"
"May I?"
"sure."
You Ye went to ‘Su Yao’s’ house.
Only on this night, Su Yao felt a sense of satisfaction in "himself". It was as if some vacancy had been filled in an illusory way.
But Youye only stayed for one night and then disappeared.
It means that 'Su Yao' hasn't seen You Ye for several days since then, either at home or on the hillside. It's like she suddenly disappeared.
My mood returned to its original point again.
No matter how you look at it, sending Youye to an orphanage is the best choice. But Youye doesn't want to go, after knowing exactly where the orphanage is.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Can't know.
All I know is that everything is back to square one.
The house was empty except for myself. No one was there.
The kind of death that was gradually hidden with the appearance of You Ye began to surface again. Well, 'Su Yao' planned to commit suicide that night when he met You Ye.
It was raining lightly that morning.
'Su Yao' was walking outside. She didn't want to die at first, she just wanted to survive day after day.
I just saw the red light on when crossing a zebra crossing, and then I thought it was time to die?
Just like that, suddenly, I took a step forward.
It was knocked away with a 'bang'.
Watching 'self' lying in the warm muddy water, staring blankly at the sky.
"Quick, quick, quick, pacemaker again!"
Who sent him to the hospital? I don’t know.
"No way..."
“···”
Anyway, I heard someone say this and then lost consciousness.
"...Big brother."
Disembodied sounds.
"If big brother sees Youye's true appearance, will he be afraid of Youye?"
“···”
"Youye will not let my eldest brother die."
After that, 'Su Yao' lost consciousness. Instead, what was saved by You Ye was himself who came to this world to replace him.
Yeah?
Now Su Yao understood.
Why do doctors say they are miracles?
It's not a miracle, but You Ye helped herself and revived herself who had been declared dead.
Why did You Ye wait for him at home and say, "Welcome back, big brother".
Because she has been waiting for herself to accept her identity.
She understands that there is a difference between herself and others. She also cares whether she will be afraid of her true appearance. This is her greatest expectation.
At that time, 'I' said before my death that I would not.
Therefore, at that time, You Ye truly regarded 'himself' as the big brother she was willing to get close to. She saved 'himself'.

But that's not me.
That's the previous article between 'Su Yao' and You Ye. Does it have any necessary relationship with myself, a victim who was only responsible for nothing but who didn't know how many times she was killed?
"Dong dong."
A knock on the door interrupted Su Yao's thoughts.
"How annoying."
Youye got up from the edge.
"...I'll go."
Su Yao patted her shoulder, put on her coat and went out.
The weather outside is nice.
"Well, it's probably a little disturbing so early."
Xia Xianyue still looked cautious with her eyes trembling slightly.
“···”
How should I treat her now?
Su Yao only roughly knew that the original owner probably didn't like her or even disliked her, but she didn't know what exactly happened between the two.
"Xia Xianyue."
"Ah, ugh. Morning?"
"Why is it so early?"
Seeing that she was startled, Su Yao sighed, "Can you find a place to stay for a while? I have something I want to talk to you about later."
"···that."
"If you have something to do, I can do it tomorrow or you can tell me a time."
"No, it's not! I mean, can I just find a milk tea shop nearby and wait?"
"sure."
Su Yao glanced at her, rubbed her temples and said, "Okay, okay, then you go and wait for me. I'll come over as soon as possible."
"Well, Ah Yao, you don't need to be in such a hurry. Anyway... I'm free all day today."
"knew."
Watching her disappear around the corner of the stairs, Su Yao shook his head and closed the door.
Originally, Youye didn't get up and Su Yao didn't want to wake her up to say anything.
"Shuashua——"
But when Su Yao started to wash up, the little figure suddenly ran to the bathroom.
"Big brother."
"Youye also needs to brush up."
She opened her mouth, revealing a row of snow-white teeth.
When Su Yao stuffed the toothbrush into her mouth, she narrowed her eyes and showed a patient look.
"Puff, puff——"
She imitated Su Yao and washed her face again.
"You can't wash your face like this."
Su Yao took a towel and soaked it in the water, then demonstrated the steps of washing his face, "That's it."
"so?"
She also learned to dip a towel in water and then wash her face.
shave.
She also shaved with an electric shaver.
"You are a girl, so you don't need to shave."
"?"
Facing those eyes filled with confusion, Su Yao got a definite sense of reality. Youye was really just a child in a sense.
You Ye can protect herself to the death because of the incomparable trust and closeness.
He could also go berserk and kill himself because he could easily overturn her reason for getting close to him.
She is a monster.
But he was also the benefactor who saved ‘himself’.
He took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and washed them subconsciously before placing the ingredients in front of You Ye for her to eat.
"Big brother, don't you want to eat?"
She raised her face and asked.
"I won't eat it now."
Su Yao shook his head and stared at her quietly.
"Click."
In fact, it was a very elegant, very small eating movement. Maybe it wasn't the case before, but she imitated Su Yao's eating movement.
I want to tell her that she doesn’t need to imitate herself and just eat as much as she wants.
But he didn't say it out loud.
He just looked at that quiet and well-behaved look, and then he suddenly thought of the small, shabby figure standing in front of him.
"Crack."
After You Ye finished eating, Su Yao lit a cigarette and finally said, "You Ye, who are you?"
"Youye is Youye."
Youye smiled and said, "Youye likes the name given by my elder brother very much."
"I mean, your body."
"Which one is you now, you or the original body?"
"···have no idea."
You Ye sat next to Su Yao, "You Ye didn't know that he would become like that at first. He was just thinking about how to avoid human surveillance and get consumables because of hunger, and then his body began to change. It became
That... is completely different from my big brother."
"Yeah?"
Su Yao took a puff of cigarette and continued to ask, "So you really don't remember anything about yourself?"
"As long as you can remember, you stayed around the human garbage dump."
Youye shook his head and said, "When I was hungry, I would catch rats to eat. I kept hiding because I was afraid of humans. Later I found that the rats outside were cleaner, so I moved to that hillside. Although there were a lot fewer rats there,
But it tastes much better.”
"Until I accidentally bumped into you?"
"No, it's because Youye saw his big brother there every day, so he had the idea to try to get close to him."
"That's it."
Um.
If a being like You Ye doesn't want humans to see her, or if she doesn't want to come into contact with her, humans probably won't have the chance to communicate with her.
