Chapter 721 She Wants to Thank Herself

But Ye Kong had already looked away.

She looked at Mother Qu again with red eyes and smiled slightly.

This time he smiled and said, "Auntie, are you free today? I want to talk to you."

Mother Qu's eyes widened immediately, and she nodded hurriedly as if she was afraid that she would regret it: "Yes! Yes, yes, yes! I have plenty of time. No matter when Xiaokong comes to find me, I will have time!"

She served Ye Kong a bowl of porridge and spread jam on her with her own hands: "You don't know how long I have been looking forward to this day. I have wanted to meet you formally for a long time. I even wanted you to live in my house, but Awu said you would definitely not be happy... Come and try it. The jam is also made by me."

The two of them started eating first.

Qu Wu stood there alone with her eyes wide open for a long time before she slowly came to her senses. She almost didn't hold the chopsticks steadily, making a crackling sound. From time to time, she looked at Ye Kong as if he were an alien.

After finishing breakfast almost in a daze.

Mother Qu quickly stuffed the dishes into the dishwasher, obviously anxious to "talk to Ye Kong."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qu Wu stared at Ye Kong, hesitant to speak.

Ye Kong didn't even look up, flipping through the newspaper and saying, "Who sewed your mouth shut?"

"..." Qu Wu was speechless for a moment, "What do you want to talk to her about? You're not really going to tell her how I lived in the past, are you? What's the need... and I didn't agree to you saying this."

The last mutter was very light.

Ye Kong raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Do I need your consent?"

"..."

Ye Kong seemed to think for a few seconds, then sat up a little straighter, staring at her and asked politely: "Then I will formally seek your consent. No matter what I want to say, imagine what you least want me to say. That's what I want to say... Miss Qu Wu, do you agree with me?"

"..."

Qu Wu stared at her in a daze, goose bumps all over his body.

"You, you don't have a fever, do you?"

Ye Kong shrugged and leaned back with his shoulders drooped.

As the dishwasher started, Mother Qu walked over quickly: "Xiao Kong, can we just chat at home?"

Ye Kong sat up again: "I can do anything."

After saying that, she looked at Qu Wu: "But you have to go out."

Qu Wu: ...

Two minutes later, the door slammed shut. Qu Wu stood under the eaves with a hood on, looking at the flowers and plants in the yard. His mind was blank for a while, and he still couldn't recover from the shock.

From the shock that came over me the first second I saw Ye Kong at home, to seeing her stay for breakfast and say those words to her mother... the shock turned into a hallucinatory trance.

She even doubted whether she was dreaming.

That Ye Kong… the last time he sent her home, he was standing at the door but he was too lazy to come in and sit with her. But today he actually came on his own initiative. Not only did he not inform her, but it even seemed that the purpose of his coming was… for her?

And what did she just say?

Out of selfish motives?

Whose selfishness? What selfishness?

Ye Kong's selfishness? His selfishness for Qu Wu?

……

Qu Wu shuddered slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up in the same ridiculous and stiff way as Ye Kong's.

Trembling uncontrollably, she raised her hands and grabbed her face fiercely, turning it a bit, then grimaced in pain and almost cried out.

"It's not a dream?"

She murmured to herself, "I thought I was dreaming about what I thought about during the day, and I really became abnormal in my dreams."

Raindrops were falling outside the eaves, drifting onto her face intermittently.

Her pupils reflected the gray-blue sky, and she stared blankly, not knowing what she was thinking. After a moment, she suddenly turned around and laid her whole body on the door like a big lizard, with her ear pressed against the door, even her expression showing an effort to try to hear the sound inside.

"Let me hear what you have to say..."

·

inside the door.

The boiling water was bubbling.

The tea leaves were dropped into beautiful china.

While Mother Qu was making tea, Ye Kong turned his head and looked towards the door.

Mother Qu also turned her head to take a look. It took only a second for her to understand what she was looking at. She couldn't help but smile and whispered, "Don't worry, she can't hear it - our house is very well soundproofed."

Ye Kong withdrew his gaze and smiled slightly.

"Did Qu Wu tell you about the incident in the flower box?"

"She never told me those things." The woman's smile faded, and her expression turned bitter. "Even if I heard it occasionally, it was always about you... well, the more remarkable parts, such as how great you are at painting, how great you are at chess, how special your personality is, and how the children in the orphanage adore you... She did say a lot of those things, but she never talked about herself."

"She wasn't in the Flower Box from the beginning, you know?"

“…I know.” The woman’s hand trembled, and she paused all movements. She slowly retracted her hands and clenched them, as if she was afraid of revealing more of herself out of control. But her voice had already exposed her fear and pain. “She…she was in that welfare home at the beginning…I really want to know…but I didn’t dare to ask, and she never told me. She always wore a mask, all kinds of masks, and she never took them off in front of others. She only got better recently. She…was she…”

Looking at the woman's red eyes that suddenly looked at him, Ye Kong answered without hesitation: "No."

The woman was stunned, and then relief and tears welled up in her eyes.

Her whole body went limp, and her originally elegant and dignified sitting posture became so weak that she seemed about to fall down.

Ye Kong took over the woman's job and poured the boiled water into the porcelain. As he poured, he said, "She had a bad temper and was very brave. She was one of the oldest children in the orphanage at the time, so she was more lethal than others. She hurt people several times and almost bit off someone's ear."

The teapot gradually filled with water.

"In order to teach her a lesson, the orphanage locked her up in a windowless basement for a long time. As for the other things, I don't know the details, but it was nothing more than starvation, beatings, brainwashing, and intimidation..."

The woman covered her mouth, and her tears soaked her fingers, slid through her fingers, and formed new flowing paths, still flowing continuously.

Ye Kong put down the kettle, and the porcelain made a light sound when it hit the wood. Her voice was even calmer and calmer than that: "The basement of that place has no windows, and it is no different from a confinement room. If you are locked up for too long, you will have mental problems, so she pretended to be docile in exchange for the opportunity to return to the ground."

"Of course, she was still locked in the room after returning to the ground. She was very smart and knew how to delay time by recuperating from her injuries. When she couldn't delay any longer, she went crazy and hurt people again, and was locked back in the basement again... This happened twice before I had the chance to find her on the ground."

"..."

Facing the tearful face opposite him, Ye Kong was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed slightly, as if a little discouraged: "Listen to me, doesn't it feel very simple and short, as if it was a period of time that can be easily endured with perseverance, and even a little lucky - this is because I am really not good at talking about these things. In fact, that period of time was actually very long and very, very difficult to endure."

"She always tells you that I'm awesome and that I saved her, right?" Ye Kong smiled. "But in fact, if she hadn't held on long enough, we wouldn't have met. If she hadn't deceived those people with her words, she wouldn't have appeared on the ground for me to see. Most importantly... if she hadn't had a very strong will, I wouldn't have rescued her immediately..."

The dusty window seemed to reappear before her eyes.

She broke the glass, and among the jagged, sharp fragments, she saw the girl's eyes burning with fire.

"Because I was... well, I have always been a heartless monster without empathy. At that time, I would have preferred not to save her, rather than alert the enemy. It was she who changed my mind and decided that I had to rescue her first even if it meant alerting the enemy. If she had not successfully left, she would have been sent away within a few days and would not have lived to see the case revealed to the world. Because she was really too bold. Faced with a child who had no chance of being tamed, those people would choose to send her to a worse place where she would never be able to escape."

Ye Kong raised his eyes and looked at the woman opposite him who was full of fear: "So, she was saved, and the person she should thank the most is herself, not me."

"She is a..." She paused for a moment, then stuttered to cover up her lack of proficiency, "She is very smart, very determined, and a very remarkable person, since she was a child."
