Mebius is slurping noodles.

The bowl is so big that it takes two hands to hold it.

She ate very quickly, rolling the noodles around her chopsticks one by one, then putting the whole lump into her mouth, chewing it a few times before swallowing, and then rolling up the next chopstick.

The entire process was conducted without making a sound.

After finishing her noodles, she simply picked up the bowl, tilted her head back, and drank the soup clean.

Finally, he put down the bowl, revealing a satisfied expression.

Lu Ze sat on the edge of the bed next to her, watching the little girl finish the whole bowl of noodles.

A few strands of green hair slipped down from behind her ears, landing on her cheeks, stained with a little soup.

Lu Ze subconsciously reached out and used his fingers to gather those few strands of hair back and tuck them behind her ears.

He has a bunch of kids at home, and he's done this kind of thing countless times; it's just a habit.

But Mebius didn't think that way. She suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open, and looked at Lu Ze warily.

That expression was like a wildcat that had its belly rubbed and was panting.

Lu Ze quickly withdrew his hand.

"Sorry, it's just a habitual action."

Mebius put down his chopsticks and picked up the utility knife again.

Lu Ze's eye twitched slightly, but he decided to pretend he didn't see it.

"Little girl."

What are your plans for the future?

Lu Ze casually tore off a tissue and handed it to her.

Mebius took it and wiped his mouth.

As she wiped her mouth, her sleeve slipped down further, completely covering her slender arm.

"I want to leave here."

"Leave this home."

She spoke very decisively, without a trace of reluctance in her tone.

"If you hadn't come, I'd probably be out by now." Mebius glanced at Luze, it's all that guy's fault.

But the ramen was delicious.

Lu Ze raised an eyebrow. A nine-year-old girl actually had the courage to run away from home.

This surprised him greatly.

Where are you planning to go?

"I don't know. We'll just have to see how things go."

Mebius looked up at him.

"I can go south. I won't freeze to death going south this time of year. There's a freight railway on the outskirts of the city, and a slow train passes by at 2:40 a.m. It doesn't go fast, so I can hop on."

She paused, then continued.

"Or you can follow the national highway, where there is a service area every 30 kilometers or so. The service areas have hot water and trash cans."

Lu Ze: "..."

He remained silent for three seconds.

A nine-year-old child not only had the courage to run away from home, but also knew in advance the time when freight trains would pass and the distance between supply points on the national highway.

This can no longer be summed up by the word "precocious".

This is a monster.

"This house..." Möbius pushed the bowl aside, "There's nothing left for me to cherish."

Lu Ze remained silent for a moment.

"Don't you have any other relatives?" he asked.

Mebius shook his head.

"Well... why don't you come to my house?"

Mebius looked up in surprise.

"My house is quite big," Lu Ze said. "There's enough room for everyone."

"And there are also many little girls your age."

After hearing this, Mebius gave him a disgusted look for two seconds, as if he were looking at a pile of non-combustible garbage.

Are you sure you're not a human trafficker?

"..."

Lu Ze took a deep breath.

He reached out, ready to ruffle her green hair, but she anticipated his move and dodged.

"Why are you still bringing this up, you little brat?" Lu Ze said irritably.

"I already said I'm not like that."

"Verbal promises are not verifiable."

"……What?"

"You can't even prove what you're saying."

Lu Ze was speechless for a long time after being choked by her.

He took another deep breath.

Don't be angry, don't be angry.

She was still a child.

Do not fall into the self-proving trap.

"OK."

Lu Ze slapped his thigh and stood up.

"Didn't you want me to prove that I'm a time traveler?"

"I'll take you through time directly."
