I don't like this name very much.

But I like the smile on her face and crescent-like eyes when she called me, so in the years that I accompanied her and her father, we wandered away from this world.

Or to be precise, this is just a part of the world. According to the little girl, this is a star, and beyond the stars is the universe. The name of this universe is called Taihao.

As for why she was called Taihao, the little girl’s answer to me was... She thought that Taihao might be a painter, so she came here to find materials for writing books.

This reply made me feel that the logic seemed to be a little problem, but it didn't matter. As long as she was happy, we walked through mountains and seas, watching the sunrise and sunset, and watching the day and night alternating.

She talked to me about her dream.

"Baby, I want to be a painter!"

I looked at her in surprise. In my memory, she seemed to say a long time ago that she wanted to write a book...

"I want to draw the entire universe, and everything in it is painted by me, so I want to travel every corner of the world to remember all the scenery."

"Baby, what do you think of my dream? Doesn't it sound particularly beautiful?" The little girl hugged my neck and heard a bell-like laughter. Chuyang in the distance was slowly rising. I looked at Chuyang, then at the little girl, and listening to her words, and suddenly I felt that this scene was beautiful.

I think it would be wonderful if I could draw all this.

So I nodded in agreement and continued to accompany her and her father, traveling all corners of the planet. We saw war, ugliness, and good beauty...

Until one day, she took me away from this star. Before leaving... I made a small request, and I wanted to take a look at my former friends.

So, we returned to the original city, but unfortunately... here, I did not see the old ape, nor the little tiger, and even the fox was gone.

Because the city has become ruins, it was razed to the ground by a war many years ago.

I was a little sad, I thought... I might never see the little tiger again, I would never see the old ape again, or I might have seen my sadness. The little girl turned her head and looked at her father, the white-haired middle-aged man who had always been a little scared.

He seemed to think about it and then took us to a nearby forest. I clearly remember that this forest, which was originally the place where I was born, had disappeared a long time ago, but at this moment, I didn't think too much, because in the forest, I saw my friends.

I saw the little tiger. It has become the king of all beasts in the forest, occupying the largest pool and waterfall in the forest, sitting cross-legged like a human, very majestic.

I also saw Ahu. What made me feel relieved was that it was not bald, but its hair was more colorful. It seemed that it had fulfilled its dream. Although all beasts respected the little tiger as king, each of them had hair belonging to Ahu.

Finally, I saw the old ape. It was in the deepest part of the forest, where there was a volcano. It sat cross-legged in the crater, with a large number of blurry figures around it, as if it was paying its birthday.

Without disturbing their lives, I greeted them silently from afar, happily followed the little girl and left the star and went to the starry sky.

The days afterwards were like a trip to me, with the little girl and her father, we walked in the stars, walking into different customs and different groups, and we could be said to be strange and strange stars.

On every star, I left my footprints, the little girl's happy laughter, and our memories, as if time has become eternal in us. She is still the little girl, and her personality is the same, and I am the same.

Sometimes, in the night sky, she would talk to me about her dream, which was changing every time...

"I don't want to be a painter anymore, I want to be a performer!"

"The performer is not good either. Baby, I decided that I want to become a doctor and I want to save lives and heal the wounded!"

"Doctor is too tired. Let's do this. Let's change it. I want to become a scholar, an omniscient scholar. What do you think?"

In this way, in her constantly changing dream, time has passed, and we have traveled all over this universe, almost ninety-nine percent of the area. It seems that in her eyes, there is no secret, her dream has changed again.

"Baby, I really decided this time!"

"I want to pursue my original intention, I still want to become a writer and write a book... You are the protagonist of the book!"

"Me?" I stared at the little girl blankly.

"Yes, even you, the name of this universe needs to be changed. You can't call it Taihao. This name doesn't sound nice, it should be called... Baby, Baby World, Baby Universe." Speaking of this, the little girl obviously excitedly hugged my neck, and a happy laugh came from.

"That's it. This is the baby's world and my daughter's rhyme!"

I licked her cheek with my tongue, not caring about her statement. In my opinion, maybe in a few years, her dream will change again.

But I didn't expect that in the years that followed, until we had freed the last area of ​​this universe, her dreams still did not change, but told me the story she wanted to create.

The story is very simple. It is everything I saw when I met her and I traveled. Perhaps because I was the protagonist inside, I listened with relish.

And every time at this time, her father, the white-haired middle-aged man, would always stand gently beside him, gently touching the little girl's head, with deep indulgence in his eyes and expression, as if as long as his daughter is happy, he can do anything.

I thought that such a life would always accompany my life to the end, but until one day... she lay on my back and as I walked forward in the starry sky, I suddenly noticed that her young body began to gradually become cold.

This coldness made me a little panicked because I felt the similar coldness in other strange beasts in my early years. According to the old ape's explanation back then, I knew that this was called departure, also called Guixu, and even more called death.

So I stopped in horror, and her body seemed to have lost its strength and slid down.

I turned around in fear and looked at the pale little girl. I licked her cheeks with my tongue again and again, trying to wake her up, but it didn't work. When I looked up anxiously at her father, the gray-haired middle-aged man's eyes were filled with sadness.

This sadness made me tremble all over.

Fortunately... as he raised his hand and gently stroked the little girl's head, she gradually opened her eyes, as if she had just woken up, and seemed to be a little sleepy, and a whisper sound came out.

"Baby, I'm a little sleepy. When I wake up, I'll play with you again. Let me... sleep and sleep."

Her voice became lower and lower until the cold feeling appeared again, her father gently picked her up and walked step by step towards the distance.

Looking at his back, looking at the figure of the little girl who was integrated into his back, an indescribable feeling appeared in my heart, as if... I had lost something.

"Are you sick..." I murmured blankly, and after looking down at my chest, my eyes became brighter again. I remembered... One of the reasons why my ethnic group was massacred seemed to be that our hearts could cure diseases.

"Yes, my hard work can cure the disease!" Thinking of this, I quickly raised my head and looked at the figure gradually moving away. I ran hard, wanting to catch up with it...

However, his pace was not big and his speed was not fast, but I couldn't catch up with him. I could only watch him go further and further, which made me anxious. I ran hard. I thought of the scenes when I was born and the tribe abandoned me. At that time, I didn't dare to run with all my might, because I was afraid that the sound of running would attract the attention of hunters.

But at this time, I am no longer cowardly, at this time, I am no longer timid, at this time, I am no longer afraid, because my hard work can cure diseases, because I don’t want to lose... the laughter that accompanied me throughout my life.

So, my speed is getting faster and faster, my mind is getting blanker, and there is only one thought in it, I want to catch up!

I flew over the stars, and I flew across the galaxy rivers, running towards my back in the distance. I don’t know how long I ran until there were no stars around, and the universe seemed to have begun to blur, until there seemed to be an end in front of me!

I didn't hesitate. Although I was exhausted, even though my consciousness was about to separate, and even though my body had begun to dissipate, I still... headed towards the end and directly rushed!

A sound that I don't know how to describe, echoed in my ears, my body collapsed, my consciousness shattered, but at a certain moment, I seemed to penetrate some barriers, I seemed to have entered a strange world, I seemed to... above the three feet of my head, I saw something...
Chapter completed!
