In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the white bungalow, a couple seemed to be talking about something...
"Husband, how do you think Sirou is doing now?"
"I don't know. I hope everything is fine. We were asked to take care of Yueyue and promised to come back to pick her up. It's been six years now. Will something happen to her?"
"Actually, she is really pitiful. When we were children, we were so happy. But when she grew up, she... wu... wu... wu..." The woman said and cried sadly.
"Okay, Huini, don't cry. At least her child is fine now. Let's not be so pessimistic. Maybe Sirou will come back to pick her up." The man said as he took out the tissue and handed it to the woman.
"Well, you're right. Yueyue doesn't know about her biological parents yet. We must keep it secret until Sirou comes back and never let her know." The woman also said while wiping her tears.
"Well, she is our daughter now. Since Sirou gave her to us, we must raise her well before she comes back." The man put his hands on the woman's shoulders and said.
"Hmm..." The woman nodded gently.
Outside the door, a seven or eight-year-old boy was putting his ear to the door, secretly listening to something. At this time, on the other side of the corridor, a cute girl who looked about the same age as him was walking over. "
Brother, what are you doing?" the girl asked curiously. The boy quickly put his index finger to his mouth and made a 'shush' gesture. The girl immediately understood what his brother meant, and tiptoed to the boy's side, imitating his brother's example.
She put her ear to the door and listened secretly.

"Yue Yue is very much like her mother when she was a child, lively, cute, and smart." The woman took a yellowed photo and wiped it gently. The photo showed two girls in school uniforms, hugging each other intimately.
"Yes, how could SiRouJi's child not be cute and smart?" The man also said while looking at the photo.
outside the door
"Brother, what are your parents saying...?" The girl looked at the boy in confusion.
"Shh... let's go..." The boy took the girl's hand and ran towards the other end of the corridor. They ran all the way to the garden and sat on the lawn panting.
"Yi Zi, don't tell anyone what we just heard. It's best to forget it, you know?" The boy gasped and said to the girl.
"Well, Ye Zi knows." The girl nodded, her eyes blinking like twinkling stars in the sky.
"Be good, don't tell anyone." The boy also emphasized his tone to "anyone".
"Well, then this is a secret between me and my brother. Come on, let's pull the hook. Don't tell anyone." After saying this, the girl quickly stretched out her little finger.
The boy nodded, stretched out his little finger, hooked the two fingers together, and smiled at each other...
The two of them lay on the lawn and looked at the sky quietly. The boy seemed to be thinking about something, and then smiled calmly.
