Ning Zhi said softly, “You don’t like Big Sister, but you like Big Brother Lu Jue, right?”

Little Song Song knew who Lu Jue was. He heard someone calling his name during the fire. 

His black eyes suddenly became focused. He looked at Ning Zhi as though he was asking her where the Big Brother was. 

Ning Zhi was right. She reached her hand out, wanting to stroke little Song Song on his head, but he avoided her hand. 

Ning Zhi did not get upset. Candies in her hand, she gave a piece to Grandma Yu right in front of little Song Song. With a sweet smile, she said, “Have some candies, Grandma.”

Grandma Yu smiled so much that her eyes turned into slits. “I’m old. I don’t need candies. Just give them to Xiao Song.”

“I have many more.” Ning Zhi opened up her palm and showed them to Grandma Yu.

There were a few orange-flavored candies on the girl’s fair and soft palm. There were little drawings of oranges on the candy wrappers. They were delicate and cute. 

It was the first time Grandma Yu was offered candies by someone younger than her. She smiled and accepted the candy. 

Ning Zhi turned to look at little Song Song and also handed him a piece of candy. “I will tell you where Big Brother is after you have a piece of candy.”

Little Song Song reached his hand out slowly. He grabbed a piece of candy from Ning Zhi’s plam and held it in his. 

Ning Zhi’s eyes curved. Smiling, she said, “Go ahead and eat it. Do you need me to unwrap it for you?”

Little Song Song lowered his head and unwrapped the piece of candy clumsily. An orange-yellow piece of translucent candy appeared in his little hand. 

He slowly put it inside his little mouth, and he tasted sweetness. 

Ning Zhi’s smile brightened. She told Little Song Song, “Big Brother is at work right now. He is working hard to make money to support Big Sister.”

Little Song Song looked at her quietly with the piece of candy in his mouth. 

Ning Zhi lowered her voice. “If at all possible, Big Sister and Big Brother will help you find your mom.”

Suddenly, the sound of slippers smacking against the ground came from inside the black metal door. 

Ning Zhi looked more serious. She knew that Song Dahai had exited his place. 

She shoved the few remaining pieces of candies into the pocket of Little Song Song’s dirty, beat-up shirt and put them away for him. “Big Sister has to go. Don’t let your father find the candies.”

When Ning Zhi got up onto her feet, she quickly stroked him on his head before the little boy could react. The little boy’s hair was fine and soft. 

“Bye for now, Little Song Song.”

Ning Zhi also said goodbye to Grandma Yu, who was still there with them. “Bye, Grandma.”

Grandma Yu saw the girl walking away quickly before she could react. 

The black door opened. 

Song Dahai still smelled like alcohol. Burping, he kicked little Song Song with his foot. “Why are you standing there like a piece of wood? Are you coming in or not?” Having said that, he reached out to grab the child. 

With Little Song Song’s little body, there was no way he could match Song Dahai’s strength. 

When he turned, Song Dahai happened to spot a skinny body in a pink dress in front of him. She was so pretty that he reflexively paid her some attention. 

Grandma Yu did not mention anything and watched as Song Dahai brought Little Song Song back home.

Ning Zhi went over to pick up Lu Jue as usual after she left the alleyway. 

Lu Jue had already been waiting for her, and standing next to him was Wei Xing. 

Lu Jue’s eyes lit up when he saw Ning Zhi there. He quickly got inside the car. 

After something occurred to him, Wei Xing called out to Ning Zhi from outside of the car and said, “Miss Ning, Young Master Lu Jue had successfully completed the machine learning codes today.”

If it was their team, it would probably take them over three months to complete the project. Lu Jue, however, was able to complete it alone in half the time. The remaining data collection and mainframe were someone else’s work. 

Not one person on their team did not look up to him. 

They must admit that when one door was closed for Lu Jue, another one was opened for him. 

“Young Master Lu Jue is truly amazing,” said Wei Xing sincerely. 

Ning Zhi was very proud when she heard someone complimenting Lu Jue. Smiling, she said, “He has always been amazing.”

Lu Jue had no feelings toward what Wei Xing had said about him, but when he heard that Zhizhi was complimenting him, his pitch-black eyes lit up instantly. “Amazing me.”

Ning Zhi smiled and pulled out the last piece of candy from her purse, unwrapped it, and put it inside Lu Jue’s mouth. “Here is a reward for you.”

Lu Jue did not like candies, but he liked the one that was fed to him by Zhizhi. 

That night, after Lu Jue was sound asleep, Ning Zhi handed 1,000 little suns to Overlord.

When she opened up her eyes again, she noticed that she was somewhere unfamiliar. 

She knew that Lu Jue would be somewhere around there. She studied her surroundings carefully and noticed that it actually looked somewhat familiar. 

Ning Zhi was about to go look for Lu Jue when she suddenly saw Song Dahai. He looked drunk, and he had Little Song Song in one hand and a rod in another. He was dragging Little Song Song toward a trash can toward the end of the block.
