It was a girl not much older than him.

She begged, screamed, and even cried and knelt down, but the other party refused to give up and insisted on sending her to the police station.

He didn't know what would happen next.

I just saw expressions of sympathy or relief from the onlookers.

and heard-

"Who knows if it's just an act?"

"You don't learn well at a young age."

"I wonder how her parents taught her?"

"I'm just a child. Since nothing has been lost, I just want to say a few words. Isn't this... a bit too much?"

"I just need to teach you a profound lesson, otherwise I might do it again in the future."

"Maybe he is a habitual criminal."

...

That time, he became deeply aware of people's deep hatred for stealing.

If he hadn't really had no way to go, if he hadn't been obsessed with seeing the corner of the banknote, he thought, he would never have the courage to steal on the street.

So, when his hand was grabbed, at that moment, he felt that his heartbeat had stopped.

He began to struggle wildly.

He wants to escape!

...

But the strength of the person in front of him was beyond his expectation.

You know your own situation.

Although he is thin and not very tall, he is quite strong.

Even though he struggled so hard, the other person didn't move at all, and he even had time to discipline him not to say bad words.

Even his subsequent sneak attacks were dodged by the opponent.

His escape naturally failed in front of this man.

...

Maybe it's just because I'm so comfortable -

However, for him, the other party's consistent non-irritable attitude, the patience and good temper shown by him in the face of being irritable and uncooperative, gave him the illusion.

Some courage suddenly emerged in his heart.

The courage to ask for help.

...

The situation at home is very bad.

The accident of his only relative, whom he depended on for life, left him at a loss as a child.

He doesn't know what to do?

The more anxious you are, the more at a loss you will feel.

He knows what he needs to do?

But what can he do?

...

He's like a little beast trapped in a box.

Even though I was confused and suffered a bloody head injury, I still couldn't find a bright way out.

...

He probably went to the doctor because of a sudden illness.

Maybe I have endured it alone for too long.

After the other party just asked a question, he couldn't control himself and couldn't wait to tell everything.

He expressed his fear and helplessness.

He is asking for help.

He wanted someone to help him.

At least, he wanted someone to tell him what he should do?

What can he do to resolve this desperate situation?

What can he do to save his mother?

...

After saying everything, the young man seemed to have lost all courage and lowered his head.

"please......"

The muffled voice stopped abruptly.

Her thin shoulders seemed to sag under the weight.

I don’t know when my back became a little rickety.

The cowered posture made the young man look more decadent and helpless.

Like a plant that is about to wither.

...

"you-"

The other person's words made the boy's heartbeat stop.

He held his breath and listened to the man's next words.

"What is your name?"

"You can tell me now, right?"

The man's unexpected question made the young man stunned for a moment, and then he felt a spasm-like pain coming from his heart.

Because I was too nervous before.

Now that I relax slightly, a slight pain spreads.

However, a faint light gradually lit up in the young man's eyes.

Faintly visible.

The boy's obscure eyes had an emotion called hope.

"Han Rui."

"My name is Han Rui."

...

"Han Rui, I'll take you home."

Seeing the young man's expression suddenly dimming, Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand and patted the young man's head gently, "Tell me the details on the way."

"If you don't go back, your mother should be worried."

...

The young man suddenly looked up, his face full of complex emotions of disbelief and surprise.

"you-"

"My name is Xiao Xiao."

"Is your home far from here?"

"No, not far."

"It's in the community in front."

The young man replied with some stumbling.

"Well, let's go then."

...

Xiao Xiao took the lead and took the step forward.

After taking a step, he turned back and said, "Aren't you going?"

"Oh, um."
