King’s Landing

I am Mizuki, also known as Kiko.

My mother said that I was a child born with her hope, so I was called Xizi, the child of hope.

I was born on a small tertiary planet, living in the most chaotic and filthy ghetto.

Although life is always so unsatisfactory, but I live every day very full and happy. The daily schedule is probably to go to the garbage dump to pick up the garbage, and then take it back to the garbage recycling station and sell it for a small sum of money.

It would be even better if a small piece of candy could be found in the rubbish. It is the cheapest crystal candy that is usually used as a gift. The small round piece is wrapped in colorful plastic paper. I don't want to eat it so I just throw it away.

But for me, that's a rare luxury. Every time I open the wrapping paper and put the candy in my mouth, the candy slowly melts in my mouth, and the sweetness seems to penetrate into my heart. So I will happily show a big smile, and then carefully fold the colorful plastic wrapping paper, hum a song and go home and put it in an old iron box I picked up before. Picking up such a candy can make me happy all day.

That's how my brother Ayuan and I got to know each other.

That day I saw another shining candy, so I was surprised and tried to rush over to pick it up, but when I was only one step away from it, the candy was grabbed by one hand! go! !

I looked up angrily and wanted to make a theory. This candy was the first thing I saw...

Wow, good-looking little brother~ The boy in front of him has a gloomy complexion, but his skin is rare in the slums. Ahem, if you ignore the gray handprints that are smeared horizontally and vertically. The facial features are also very delicate, and it can be seen that he must be a rare and beautiful man when he grows up.

When I was young at the time, I was fascinated by beauty, so I just stared at him for a long time, completely forgetting the big responsibility of robbing candy.

Later, brother A Yuan used this to laugh at me for a long time, hum ╭(╯^╰)╮.

Until he got impatient after being stared at by me, he threatened with a sullen face and a milky voice in a very young voice: "What are you doing? Be careful I hit you!"

I just smiled and said, "No, I just think you look good~"

However, when he heard this, he seemed to be even more angry, and he was about to leave with a dark face. I scratched my head, not knowing where I had offended him, so I had to carry the things I picked up before and followed him.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and grinned fiercely and said, "What are you doing with me?"

I blinked innocently: "No, I'm going to the recycle bin to sell things too~"

He choked, turned his head expressionlessly and continued to walk away, carrying a bag of things he had picked up.

I followed up happily, and while walking, I said to please: "My name is Shui Xizi, everyone calls me Xizi, you can call me that too. What's your name? You look good~ There must be A nice name, right? I really want to know. Saying…”

He frowned, and finally couldn't help interrupting my ramble: "Zhai Yiyuan."

My eyes lit up and I continued: "Wow, listen well! Zhai Yiyuan, can I call you brother Ayuan?"

The boy said indifferently, "Whatever."

"Brother Ayuan! Brother Ayuan! Hehehe~" I smiled happily, then walked beside him and couldn't help but start to tell what I saw today: "Brother Ayuan, let me tell you, today I saw a big yellow dog and guess what..."

Later I found out that his house is a few floors upstairs from my house, but we went out and came back at different times, so we always staggered.

The mothers of the two of us know each other, but the relationship doesn't seem to be very good. At least after I told my mother about today's events, she frowned and said: "The things in their family are too messy, our mother and daughter It's not easy to live alone in this messy place, you'd better not have too much contact with him and be careful to get yourself on fire."

Brother A Yuan is in a single-parent family like me, but unlike me, his father died of illness many years ago, and the family had a huge high-interest debt in order to treat his father's illness. After all the things were sold to be able to pay back some, the mother and son had to go to the slums, struggling to maintain a living, and often panic to deal with those ferocious people who came to collect debts.

I didn't know who my father was since I was a child. Every time I asked my mother, she kept a secret expression on her face, and if I asked too many questions, my mother, who had always been gentle and kind, would get angry at me. Too many times, I dare not ask again.

But even though my mother told me not to let me have more contact with brother A Yuan, I didn't have any deep awareness, so the activity of picking up garbage by one person before slowly turned into a group activity of two people.

After getting along with brother A Yuan for a long time, I realized that he is actually very dissatisfied with his appearance, and he does not like to hear others compliment his appearance.

Originally, he was a kind of handsome, and when he laughed, he would have two small cute dimples. Such an appearance would not only bring good luck in the slums, but would only lead to endless slander and malice.

If it wasn't for his talent for cultivation since childhood, the mother and son would have been swallowed up by those who were eyeing them.

At one point, those pesky loan sharks came back to collect their debts.

After smashing brother A Yuan's house into a mess, the man with the stubborn eyes and eyes bent down and pinched brother A Yuan's face, smiling slyly to his aunt, who is brother A Yuan's mother, and said: "Look at this handsome and stubborn little appearance. I like this one the most. It must feel good to play. Otherwise, you can sell him to me, and we will write off the previous debt."

For the first time, the always gentle aunt went crazy. She pulled Brother A Yuan behind her to protect her, her eyes were blood red and she even shouted at the man incoherently: "No! You are not allowed to touch him! If you dare to touch him, , I'll kill you! Kill you!"

The man laughed in anger, and after straightening up, he rounded his arms and slapped Auntie fiercely, and slapped Auntie directly to the ground, he said contemptuously: "Bah! Little bitch, don't give your face Face, it's a blessing for Lao Tzu to see him! Come on!"

He beckoned to the little scoundrels behind him, "Take this kid away from me, I will taste him today!"

I hid behind the door and couldn't see the expression of brother A Yuan buried in the shadows. I could only see his stubborn, upright and gloomy back, as well as his palms that dripped blood because of their deep nails when he was molested by men. The aunt's arm fell to the ground, and the aunt's swollen cheeks and crazy eyes reflected the ugly and disgusting faces of these people.

At that moment, I for the first time in anger put my mother's admonitions behind me, and I stopped being an obedient bystander.

I took a deep breath, knowing that it would be useless to rush in with my small arms and calves.

So I took out a small alarm simulator that I had picked up in the **** heap. It was originally broken, but then I begged the uncle downstairs to fix it.

When it is turned on, the alarm will emit a siren sound from small to large, simulating the sound of a police car from far to near.

After the man inside heard the voice, he paused for a while, then frowned and stared at brother A Yuan and auntie fiercely and said, "You actually called the police??"

Before they could answer, the younger brother next to him said in a panic, "Brother, let's go quickly, if you get caught by the cops, you'll have to pay and go to jail again."

The man spat fiercely and slammed a harsh sentence: "You two, wait for me!" Then he greeted the younger brothers and turned away in a hurry.

I hid quietly in the corridor upstairs, and waited until all these people left before rushing down to help Brother A Yuan's house.

Although it was a spur of the moment, and I didn't have a very comprehensive plan, fortunately, the final result was okay. Well, if I ignored it and was scolded by my mother, hehe.

Later, every time I talked about this, I would pat my little chest, raise a smile and proudly say to brother A Yuan: "Don't worry, if there are bad people coming in the future, I will help you scare them away. !"

Brother Ayuan would smile helplessly and dotingly, pat my head, and say, "Okay, then Brother Ayuan's safety will be handed over to you!"

But every time before the high-yield debt came, my aunt would tell A Yuan to hide away, so I didn't have the opportunity to show my wit.

If there is anything that makes me happiest after spending so many years with brother A Yuan, it is probably watching him become cheerful from his gloomy personality before.

Although brother A Yuan always said that he was being irritated by me, what I didn't tell him was that every time I saw his happy smile and cute dimples, I felt it was worth it.

In life, between heaven and earth, it is like a gap between white horses.

In a blink of an eye, I have reached 18 years old, and brother A Yuan is also 19 years old.

And just this year, something happened that turned our life upside down.
