Chapter 815: Chapter 815: Mu Shen Side Story (41)

Mu Shen had never seen his parents.

In his memory, he had always lived with his grandmother.

When he was little, they lived in a courtyard.

The courtyard wasn’t very big, but it housed many people.

For a living, his grandma would leave early and return late, so Mu Shen could only stay in the courtyard by himself.

There were many children in the courtyard, but none of them would play with him.

”You’re a child without parents; we won’t play with you.”

”Your mom is a whore, disgusting.”

”Nobody even knows who your dad is, keep away from us, you’re not allowed to play with us.”

These were the words he heard most often.

As a child, Mu Shen didn’t really understand the words these children were saying.

Of course, the children only half-understood themselves; they were parroting what they heard from adults.

Mu Shen didn’t feel much when he heard them, as he had never met his parents.

Until one day.

A little girl in a princess dress came pitifully to the corner where he usually sat, disregarding the dirty ground, and plopped down.

The little girl cupped her plump cheeks and softly asked him, ”Why do you always sit here?”

Mu Shen had some impression of this little girl.

Although she lived in such an environment, she always seemed cleaner than the other children.

She would have new dresses and clothes every now and then.

Her dad stood out as well, every time he came back, he would bring her along to lecture those children who had bullied her.

That was the paternal love Mu Shen had never experienced...

Little Mu Shen hugged himself, shrinking into the corner, unwilling to talk to her.

The little girl talked to herself, seeing he wasn’t responding, and fell quiet for a while.

Outside, the sky gradually darkened, and she might have grown tired, as she leaned on her knees, dozing off.

Boom—

A thunderclap exploded in the sky.

The little girl woke up with a start, first glancing up at the sky before patting her chest.

Heavy rain poured down, and sitting outside, the drifting rain would wet her clothes.

She looked at him, a bit timid, ”Brother, may I come in a bit?”

Little Mu Shen said nothing but scooted further inside.

The little girl gleefully settled in, taking a candy from her pocket to offer him, ”Brother, have some candy.”

Her hand was also white and tender, still chubby from baby fat.

He looked at the candy lying in her clean, pale palm.

Other kids always had candy, but he didn’t.

Because it was hard for his grandma to sustain their living, there wasn’t spare money for these indulgences.

Little Mu Shen hesitated for a long time before carefully taking the candy.

That day, before the rain had stopped, the little girl’s grandma came back, and she waved at him from the rain.

Little Mu Shen watched indifferently.

That was the first time he spoke to her.

The second time he talked to her was when someone was bullying him, and he was being pushed, shoved, and scolded by those children.

Suddenly, she stood up for him, confronting those children.

She had a quite fierce dad, and all the children in the courtyard knew not to mess with her; they scattered one by one.

”Does it hurt?” The little girl pulled him up, looking at his abrasions with concern.

Little Mu Shen shook his head.

”It must hurt.”

The little girl fumbled on herself, then produced another candy.

”Eat the candy, it’s sweet.”

The little girl smiled softly and sweetly, her smile seeming to freeze in the glow of the setting sun.

That day, Little Mu Shen learned her name.

Later...

Many times after that.

She would always appear by his side, occasionally offering him candy. Her candy was always unusual and of many brands, supposedly brought back by her dad.

Sometimes Little Mu Shen couldn’t understand.

Her family situation seemed to be good, so why did they live in such a place without moving away?

”Because my grandma has lived here all her life,” the little girl stated crisply: ”My dad has to work, so I can only live with grandma.”

”What about your mom?”

”...” The little girl pouted, blowing out a soft puff of air, ”I don’t know, yeah.”

After she had spoken, she laughed again.

”You see.”

Little Mu Shen followed the direction of her hand, and the beautiful candy wrapper glistened in the sunlight, its colors shone like stars fallen into a river.

Little Chuzheng had a thick notebook, filled with beautiful candy wrappers.

Little Chuzheng showed it to him, and it was indeed very pretty.

”Dad says candy is sweet and can chase away all the bad moods.”

After they got to know each other, nothing particularly important happened, just like the lives of others.

Later, her father passed away.

She lived with her grandmother but still wasn’t short of money. Her grandmother doted on her, and she remained the enviable Little Princess.

Years passed by just like that.

On that rainy day, when Mu Shen came back from school, he sensed that something was amiss in the courtyard.

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

The weather was hot, her skin reddened by the sun, and tears silently streamed down her face.

”What... what happened?”

Mu Shen walked up to her and asked.

She looked up, the little girl’s voice choked with sobs: ”Grandma is gone.”

Mu Shen didn’t know what to say, he could only silently stand beside her under the blazing sun.

When her grandmother passed, she left some money behind. The people in the yard arranged for someone, and they held a funeral.

Once again, her fate became an issue.

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

On the day of her departure, she came to find him.

”We may not meet again in the future, keep this with you.” She left him the notebook, and with it, a few pieces of candy.

”Goodbye, brother.”

Mu Shen watched her get into the car parked outside the courtyard. It was a type of car that no one had seen before, different from the ones on the street, it looked much more grand and luxurious.

Mu Shen clenched the notebook in his hand.

No matter when, she was the bright moon in the sky.

Mu Shen’s feelings for her were probably just those of playmates. After she left, Mu Shen gradually forgot about her.

However, the habit of eating candy and collecting candy wrappers remained, for reasons he didn’t understand.

Perhaps it was because of what she said—the candy is sweet and can chase away all the bad moods.

Life is full of hardship.

Candy can offer solace.

Mu Shen never thought they would meet again.

It was under such circumstances, amidst so many people, she handled them all by herself.

He didn’t know why, when someone came chasing after, he found himself pulling her to run.

Latter he heard her name.

Gradually, he began to overlap the person in front of him with the memory of that soft and delicate little girl.

Similar...

Yet not similar.

Their reunion was in that little alley.

His situation at that time was not good...

Mu Shen couldn’t explain what state he was in, as if someone controlled his actions, leaving him able to watch but unable to stop.

Rage made him lose his reason.

Then she appeared.

She said—killing people is bad for you, don’t kill people.

Mu Shen didn’t know if she remembered their past as playmates.

He wanted to ask multiple times, but he never got the words out.

Until she took the initiative to bring it up.

From her reaction, Mu Shen knew she wasn’t interested in the past, she even seemed reluctant to talk about it.

Loving her, was something Mu Shen couldn’t control.

He always felt she was different from when she was young...

Until that night, when she said she wanted to be loved as she was now.

Although Mu Shen felt that the things from their childhood influenced him, his love for her began from the moment they met again.

The one he loved was... the grown-up Chuzheng.
