Rui let go of her hand on the corner of the table, looked at the back of Aoi Si playing in the courtyard with melancholy eyes, and seemed to be in a better mood:
"No, the three of us just lean on each other for warmth... According to the cabinet, the three of us are so-called war orphans."
When Rui said the last sentence, her expression became abnormally calm, she glanced at the distant tower lightly, and she had no intention of continuing.
Lu Chuan froze for a moment, followed Ruyi's gaze to look at the tall cabinet tower outside the courtyard, and remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he uttered in a low voice:
"Feel sorry."
Ruyi was stunned for a moment, then turned her head away, gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand, then stood up, and walked towards Jiang Ying's room:
"No, it's me who should be sorry."
creak-
Rui pushed open the door, walked in, and then closed it tightly.
Leaning against the door, she shook her head.
In the conversation just now, Ruyi unknowingly confided in Lu Chuan as someone of the same age, and said so many things that shouldn't be said.
Talking so much with a child will cause him a lot of trouble.
Ruyi helplessly covered her forehead, then looked at Takumi Eiichi who was sitting on the edge of the window sill in the room, looking outside.
There were no tears in Jiang Ying's eyes, he stared at the outside of the wall with piercing eyes, as if even the thick wind and sand couldn't stop his gaze.
The hot breath came through the window, and the bright orange sunlight shone on Jiang Yingyi's face.
He thought of Lu Chuan in his mind, the man from outside, the magic clothes he had never seen before, and the trick of making flowers at random.
The previous sadness and hatred seemed to be temporarily suppressed by the yearning for the outside world.
But if you observe carefully, you will find that the hatred between Jiang Ying and the war has not disappeared.
He suddenly turned his head to look at his sister, and then said in his usual happy tone:
"Sister! I want to go outside to see..."
when!
Ruyi slashed at the center of Jiang Ying's head with a hand knife.
"no!"
……
Jiang Yingyi covered the big bag on her head, carefully looked at Rui who had closed her eyes and rested beside her, and sat down on the floor.
Sister, scarier than war!

夜晚
The clear light of the moonlight spilled in through the window sill by the bed, bringing a cold breath after another.
Lu Chuan lay on the bed, looking sideways out the window.
He wrapped himself tightly in the blanket covering his body. Loulan, surrounded by the desert, was really hot during the day and cold at night.
Although he has a dirty body, it stands to reason that he would not feel uncomfortable due to the cold.But the habit of turning on the air conditioner and covering the quilt for many years made him unable to wrap himself in a blanket.
Lu Chuan recalled what Ruyi had said during the day in his mind.
It was only then that he truly felt the pain that the existence of war would bring to people. What happened to Jiang Yingyi reminded him of his parents when he was in Blue Star.
The almost identical experience seemed to make Lu Chuan understand Jiang Yingyi's behavior of rushing to the front line.
Lu Chuan lay on the bed, put his arms under his head, sighed, and slowly closed his eyes.
Silent all night.
……
the next day.
morning.
"Hey——!! Hey!! Lu Chuan!! Wake up!!!"
As soon as Jiang Ying stood beside Lu Chuan, he pushed and pushed the sleeping Lu Chuan vigorously, but the other party remained indifferent.
He put his hands on his hips helplessly, panting and recovering the energy consumed by running up the stairs, and then glanced at Lu Chuan, whose back was turned to him.
Suddenly, Jiang Yingyi's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of a good way to wake up Lu Chuan.
……
Lu Chuan opened his eyes helplessly.
Looking at Jiang Yingyi who was trying to open his eyelids with his hands, he felt a burst of helplessness in his heart.
"Ah, you're awake!"
Carpenter Yingyi, who was riding on Lu Chuan, also noticed Lu Chuan's helpless eyes, let out a cry of surprise, rolled off the bed, and stood on the ground.
