Little World continued, "In the backyard of the villa, behind the pile of weeds, there is a small hole that a five- or six-year-old child can crawl into. You can go in through there."

"The villa door was locked. Lu Jingci only discovered the hole through which he could escape later, and he still doesn't know it."

As he spoke, the scene before him was reflected in mid-air—

The entrance to the basement.

There were moldy bread and two expired cookies on the ground nearby.

Xiao Lu Jingci lay curled up there, tears streaming down her face. She hadn't eaten in a long time and was so hungry that she had no strength. Her stomach was rumbling.

He knocked weakly on the basement door, his scalded arm red and his hands red from knocking.

"Mom and Dad, Aci is so hungry, and my arm hurts so much... Don't you really want Aci anymore?"

Tears streamed uncontrollably down his face, and his whole body trembled.

"It's been so many days, please don't throw Aci away, please..."

"Every night, Aci would lie down obediently by the door with a blanket and sleep... As soon as Mom and Dad opened the door, they could see me; I was always there."

"A-Ci will really be good from now on... Why don't you want A-Ci anymore? Did A-Ci do something wrong? I'm sorry, A-Ci will definitely change, I really will be obedient, please don't abandon me..."

"Aci will never eat so much again. She'll work hard and really be a good, obedient child. Aci can eat less, doesn't need pocket money, and doesn't even need to sleep in the bed. She won't take up much space in the house. Please don't throw Aci away... okay?"

Large tears fell from his eyes, and he sobbed uncontrollably.

She kept murmuring, "Aci can curl up in a corner to sleep, eat less, she really can..."

"Please, Mom and Dad...please."

The little child didn't understand why his parents didn't want him. He thought he was a burden and useless at home, so he kept crying and apologizing.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

But it was no use; no matter how much I apologized, it was useless.

His parents still didn't want him and didn't come out.

He didn't know how long he cried, or how long he waited. He lay there, tears streaming down his face, his eyes vacant, shaking his head in despair.

"There's nothing left, no more paper airplane models..."

"There's no father anymore, and no mother anymore."

"No one wants Aci anymore... there's no one left."

Just lie here. He's too hungry and too weak. Even if he dies, no one will know.

-

Outside the villa, the scene in mid-air dissipated.

Xiao Shijie observed Xu Wuning's expression.

Hehe, it's so smart. Xu Wuning is all bark and no bite. Five-year-old Lu Jingci is so miserable that he can't even get enough to eat. She definitely can't bear to see him suffer.

But it was wrong. At this moment, Xu Wuning showed no sign of calming down.

While the little world's light was distracted, she picked up another stone and threw it at it.

A bloodcurdling scream rang out.

This time, it was the sound of Xiao Shijie clutching his head as he was hit.

Taking advantage of the moment when it covered its head, Xu Wuning pressed her advantage and threw another stone at it.

"what!"

This time, Little World cried out even more pitifully, frantically trying to hide, "My head!"

She had a cute bun hairstyle and big, watery eyes, but her actions were incredibly irritable.

Demon Child.

The first demon child to dare attack the small world!

Xu Wuning threw another one, and this time, the little world finally trembled and dodged it, letting out a sigh of relief.

Seeing that it had dodged, Xu Wuning said coldly, "Hitting you was already showing mercy. Don't think that Lu Jingci's feigned amnesia has nothing to do with you."

"Let me tell you, no matter how miserable five-year-old Lu Jingci is, when I return to the correct timeline, I will never forgive old Lu Jingci."

"Children are children, and adults are adults."

"No matter who the child in the video is, if it's a child in such a miserable state, no matter what the child's name is, and he has gone without food for several days, I will give him a meal."

"I'll go in and find him now."

Little World, clutching his head where he'd been hit and gotten a big bump, couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. "Great!"

Xu Wuning poured cold water on it again: "What are you laughing at? Don't be too happy yet. Let me tell you, when I get back, I will still kill old Lu Jingci. This amnesia thing is not over."

"You better pray I go back later, so that old Lu Jingci will die later."

She narrowed her eyes. "And besides, you know in your heart whether you're lying or not. Is it really because there's a time loophole that I got here, or did you do it on purpose?"

"Don't think that just because I'm in this timeline now and Lu Jingci isn't by my side, my anger will dissipate and I'll forget about it over time. No, my anger will only accumulate more and more."

"The day I return will be the day I settle accounts with you all!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shijie was terrified, his voice trembling as he said, "How could this be... I wasn't lying, there really is a loophole."

"I'll go fix it now... I'll hurry and get it fixed so you can go home sooner."

"I'm going, I have to go right now..."

Seeing that it had been poked, it panicked and quickly ran away.

It dared not linger any longer, and couldn't care less about anything else, otherwise it would be all over if it were exposed.

The small world of light disappeared.

Xu Wu lowered her gaze and quickly ran to the back of the villa to find the hole.

Then, pushing aside the weeds, and not caring whether it was a dog hole or not, she climbed straight in, wearing a pretty dress.

Even if it were now, if it were the child of her enemy's family, about to starve to death, she would still do it.

Moreover, this child is Lu Jingci.

Five-year-old Lu Jingci is both adorable and pitiful. Young Lu Jingci got into a car accident while trying to buy her ice cream.

Only Lao Lu Jingci did nothing good. He either imprisoned her or lied to her. In bed, he was always so shameless, saying "I don't want it anymore" but never stopping. He was despicable.

She will never let him go once she gets back.

The most urgent task now is to save five-year-old Lu Jingci.

Xu Wuning crawled out of the hole, ran into the courtyard, pushed open the villa door, and rushed towards the basement.

……

The entrance to the basement.

Lu Jingci's face was covered in dirt, and he was filthy. His fingers trembled as he tried to pick up the expired cookies and moldy bread from the ground, but he was too weak to reach them and gave up.

Even if you eat it because you're too hungry, you'll still get sick, like yesterday when you had a stomachache.

Tears streamed down his face. It felt like he hadn't left the villa or seen the sun in ages. The villa door was locked; he couldn't escape.

The pain from the burns on his arm had numbed him.

His parents didn't want him anymore; they threw him away.

Nobody liked him, nobody cared about him...

He lay there in despair, clutching his stomach with both hands, looking like he was waiting to die.

Sudden--

Footsteps were heard, and a little girl ran down the stairs toward the basement.

Was he dreaming? The villa door was closed, how did she get in? Or was he dying and hallucinating?

A beam of light shone down and into his gray eyes.

The person in front of him walked up to him. She was wearing an expensive dress, her hair was tied in a cute and pretty bun, and she had two dimples when she smiled. She reached out her hand to him.

He heard her say that.

Hello, my name is Xu Wuning.

"Would you like some small bread?"
