I'm mentally retarded, who asked me to join Rules Monster Talk?

Chapter 304 Becoming Family
"..." Xiao Yi didn't say anything after all, got up and ran away from there.

"Ah, wait……"

Xiao Yi's biological mother stretched out her hand... but quickly took it back.

She is a kind person, so she will care about the child in front of her, but to her, it is just a strange child after all.

Of course she didn't chase him, she just muttered "What a strange child", then took her favorite daughter's hand and left.

Then, Xiao Yi, who was alone, used his strength to push aside the walls of people squeezed together one after another.

Those people are not alone, there are people accompanying each other, and they all have happy smiles on their faces.

And that made Xiao Yi feel pain.

Among so many people, he was alone and conspicuous.

Therefore, he wanted to escape from here and escape to a deserted place, so that his loneliness would not be so conspicuous.

Xiao Yi was startled and looked at the source of the sound in shock, and then... he saw the sister who had been by his side.

This time, Eve finally gave a positive answer.

"Sister..." So Xiao Yi said.

In other words, it is another self questioning myself.

"……Really?"

However, a question made Xiao Yi stand there in shock.

"That's right...how can I feel at ease just because I'm alone?"

"........."

Finally, Xiao Yi escaped from the crowd and came to a dark, deserted place, breathing heavily.

"Well..." Eve smiled softly and stretched out her hand to Xiao Yi, "Okay, let's go together and go back together."

"Not now?" Xiao Yi was slightly startled, "Then, will it be possible in the future?"

The thing that Xiao Yi fears most is actually loneliness, and now, Xiao Yi is alone again.

Xiao Yi, who has been chasing his mother for so many years, doesn't it just mean that he doesn't want to be alone?

"...I'm sorry." Eve finally caught up with Xiao Yi. She couldn't help but hugged Xiao Yi tightly and sobbed, "I...failed to do a good job and let you encounter this kind of thing again." Sad thing, I'm really sorry! I won't say anything to reject you! Let's go back together, I... won't let you be alone."

However, a familiar voice reached Xiao Yi's ears.

"Really? In the future?" Xiao Yi took a deep breath, "Then, I must also grow up well. When I grow up, I can become a family with you, sister, right?"

"what happened?"

Only then did Xiao Yi realize that this question was coming from him.

"Well..." Xiao Yi knew in his heart that they had no home now and no place to go back to.

Xiao Yi understood this. Thinking about it this way, there is nothing to be afraid of in loneliness. Since it is destined to be like this, doesn't it mean that we can only accept this?

"Well... from now on, it will definitely be fine."

"..." However, the expression on Eve's face froze slightly.

Looking at the dark, terrifyingly silent surroundings, Xiao Yi felt extreme fear in his heart, and his breathing became rapid.

"No, that's not right..."

The second thing is that he is not alone, there is always someone by his side.

However, he could understand where Eve was going to return to.

"I..." Xiao Yi looked at her and said, "I... want to be a family member with you."

"..."

She took a few steps back, with a complicated expression on her face, and said to Xiao Yi:
"I'm sorry, we... can't be a family, at least not now."

One thing is... I am still really afraid of being alone.

"……Got you."

"I...may have found what I want to achieve."

Perhaps to comfort himself, Xiao Yi said:

"But... think about it carefully, don't people have to be alone in this life? They come into this world alone, and finally leave alone. People... are destined to be lonely when they are born."

So, he also held Eve's hand, and the two held each other's hands and left here together.

Feeling the warm feeling that was constantly coming from her body, Xiao Yi finally understood two things.

"Really?" Eve released her hands that were holding him tightly, looked at him, and asked in surprise, "What is your wish?"

He raised his head and looked around, only to find that there was no one around him and he was alone.

However, he felt relieved in his heart, and felt relieved that he was alone.

"Ha ha……"

My mother-in-law is right, family members are not connected by blood.

That night, Eve hugged Xiao Yi tightly and fell asleep.

Even just a little bit, she wanted to make up for the gap in Xiao Yi's heart.

Then, that night was one of the rare nights when Xiao Yi slept peacefully.

……

A cool breeze blew outside the car window. The cold winter had left. The breeze carried a slight fragrance of flowers, plants and trees.

There is no doubt that it is the smell of spring.

Xiao Yi and Eve once again set foot on the car leaving the current city.

They didn't know where they were going after that, but they just hit the road and hit the road first.

Xiao Yi looked at his right hand. There was nothing in it, and he had no idea what kind of life he would lead in the future.

However, he looked at his left hand, which was holding her hand.

Therefore, Xiao Yi is not confused or worried about his future because he is not alone.

"Um……"

Eve was sleeping lightly with her eyes closed.

This was a rare occasion for Xiao Yi to see Eve sleeping, and he found it very strange.

"……Um?"

Perhaps sensing Xiao Yi's gaze, Eve woke up and turned around.

"It's okay, don't worry..."

In the haze, she slowly said to Xiao Yi:

"I... won't let you be alone. Although you have experienced a lot of sadness and pain so far, your future will definitely be happiness. I... promise you. So, sleep peacefully. "

"..." However, Xiao Yi just stared at her silently and said nothing.

"...Huh?" Eve gradually regained consciousness and asked slowly: "Can't you sleep?"

"Well..." Xiao Yi nodded, "I don't feel like sleeping very much tonight." "Really?" Eve said, "Because I'm going to a strange city, my mind started thinking wildly and I was very excited, so I couldn't sleep. Right?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yi nodded, "My brain doesn't listen to me, so I can't help him."

"You're disobedient..." Eve smiled softly, "Then, just use your brain a little to tire it out. Then your brain won't have random thoughts and you can fall asleep obediently."

"Use your brain...?"

"Yes! For example... let me ask you a question." Eve asked: "Question! If sister and I are trapped in a burning room with other sisters at the same time, would you save me first or the others first? Where’s my sister?”

"...?" Xiao Yi only felt that this question was very strange, because there was no need to ask this question at all. He had only one choice from the beginning.

"Do you still have to ask?" Xiao Yi replied: "I must save you, sister, first."

"Unfortunately, the answer is wrong." Eve burst into laughter. "The correct answer is to put out the fire first! How about that, you didn't expect it, did you?"

"..."

"Uh... don't look at me like you're mentally retarded! This problem is just like this...! It's not my fault!"

Regardless of the specifics, in short, after playing with Eve, Xiao Yi may have felt tired, or perhaps felt relieved, and fell asleep deeply.

"..." Eve smiled softly at him and said in a soft, lullaby-like voice: "May you have a good dream, and... I hope your tomorrow will be a beautiful and happy day..."

……

After that, time flew by and several years passed.

Xiao Yi has completely shed his immaturity and is already a somewhat mature boy.

However, with growth, some troubles also come.

"Um……"

In a park somewhere, Xiao Yi looked at the volumes of documents in his hand, feeling a little worried.

"As expected, it didn't work out, but that's right. Few people would be willing to hire someone with as many problems as me."

Xiao Yi touched his pocket, but it was empty.

"Alas..." He sighed: "The weather is great today, the air is very fresh, and I don't have any money."

At this time, his stomach also made a protest sound to him.

"Shut up." Xiao Yi said: "The situation of a child who can scream and drink milk does not apply to me."

Having said that, the feeling of being hungry is also very unpleasant.

Xiao Yi rubbed his belly and sighed:

"Speaking of which, today is a special day. I wonder...if I will be able to see her today."

Xiao Yi has been in this city for a long time. At first, Eve and him still accompanied each other through the most difficult period.

Then, Xiao Yi relied on his own strength to survive in this city. He also made so-called friends here and saw things he had never known before.

Everything should have gone smoothly, but when Xiao Yi accidentally talked about Eve with that friend, he was told by the friend that it was just Xiao Yi's childhood fantasy.

After all, no one can see anyone except Xiao Yi himself, except for the character he imagined to comfort his childhood full of shortcomings.

However, Xiao Yi didn't think so. No, to be more precise, he was afraid of it. He actually said that Eve didn't actually exist, it was just his imagination or something. Just thinking about that kind of thing made Xiao Yi find it hard to breathe.

So the two had a big fight and eventually broke up.

This friendship also dissipated.

Xiao Yi didn't care about this. He thought it would be fine as long as the sister was still by his side.

However...after that, Eve no longer stayed with him as before, but always appeared in front of him after a period of time.

"..."

Xiao Yi could only respond silently. He cherishes the opportunity to meet her, and he doesn't want her to have fewer opportunities to meet him by mentioning this matter.

"Before...when I was little, Mingming was always by my side and always accompanying me."

Xiao Yi looked up at the sky. At this moment, he felt all kinds of pressure coming towards him. However, unlike before, he could bear it now.

"Is it because... I can bear the pain alone, so she feels that there is no need for her to appear again? Childhood... fantasy, imaginary... friend?"

Xiao Yi suddenly shook his head vigorously, trying to get these thoughts out of his mind.

Then, his stomach made another protest sound.

"Oh... no, I have to find something to eat."

Just when Xiao Yi was about to get up, he suddenly found a few pieces of bread appearing next to the seat where he was sitting.

"...!" Xiao Yi knew immediately that it was her who was coming.

So Xiao Yi hurriedly raised his head and looked around, and sure enough, he saw her figure at a tree not far away.

Eve was hiding behind the tree, sticking out half of her head and looking at Xiao Yi.

"You're here." Xiao Yi couldn't help but chuckle and called: "...sister."

Even though the figure that was once taller than herself has now become so petite, Xiao Yi is still willing to call her sister.

"Well! Long time no see, Xiao Yi..."

She was still smiling as gently as she remembered.

"I'm sorry." She said, "Today was originally a special day... Next time, the next time we meet again, I will bring you a better birthday gift."

That's right, the special day refers to Xiao Yi's birthday.

In fact, Xiao Yi had long forgotten when he was born. He only remembered the day he met Eve. Therefore, he regarded that day as his birthday.

"It's okay. Thank you..." Xiao Yi said, picked up the bread and started to eat it, "...it's delicious."

"Really? That's good..."

The two still didn't close the distance and just communicated at a distance. This is also the distance between them now.

"Xiao Yi..." Eve asked, "How are you...?"

"How about it?"

"Well, do you feel lonely? I'm... worried about you."

Eve's face was full of worry and helplessness, and she said as if sighing:
"Although people like me are not qualified to say this, I am really, really, really worried."

"..." In order not to worry her, Xiao Yi replied with a smile: "Don't worry, thanks to you being here, I'm not alone."

"Really? That's good..."

Eve hid behind the tree when she said this, and Xiao Yi could not see the expression on her face.

Then, Eve said: "Xiao Yi... I hope that next year... you can also welcome this day safely."

"……elder sister?"

Xiao Yi looked at her and wanted to say something, but... Eve's figure had disappeared.

After that, Xiao Yi never saw the sister in his memory whose name he still didn't know.

When he realized it, he realized that the days of separation had passed.
