Two young men walked side by side, one tall and one short, one big and one small. They held hands, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

But if you zoom in, you will find that the slightly taller boy standing in the front has a look of indifference and irritability on his face, and the delicate-looking blond child behind him has been wiping his tears and crying from beginning to end.

"That's enough, little crybaby. I've already taken you away, why are you still crying?"

"It hurts...my neck hurts..." the little crybaby said aggrievedly.

Xie Shuyi couldn't hold his forehead with his hand. He had never encountered such a speechless thing in his past and present lives combined.

I couldn't help but put my fingertips into my mouth, and I didn't know how many times I had bitten off the nail of my thumb.

Hearing that the child behind him seemed to be still crying, Xie Shuyi really couldn't stand it anymore. He shook off the child's hand, then grabbed the empty collar of the little crybaby and lifted him up.

His face was full of coldness. "If you cry again, I will take out your heart and put it on your head. I have never seen a child's heart before. I am really curious!"

This time the threat did not work. Instead, the little crybaby cried even harder, with tears falling down his face. Several tears fell directly on Li Shuyi's wrist.

Feeling the cold touch on his hands, Xie Shuyi was really confused. He looked at the child's expression which did not seem fake. He was stunned for a long time before he slowly put the child down.

A helpless sigh, and no one knew what he was sighing about.

Xie Shuyi rarely slowed down his tone.

"what's your name?"

The little crybaby was still crying. When he heard his voice, he trembled with fear, and then could only shake his head in panic.

It seems that he was captured before he could remember anything. No, it is possible that he was sold here, so he doesn’t even remember his name.

Xie Shuyi took his hand again.

"Then you should know what your number is."

The little crybaby raised his head blankly, and it was obvious from that silly expression that he didn't pay any attention to what size he was.

"You should know how you escaped."

According to Jie Shuyi's understanding, each experimental subject will have his or her own number and bed. If nothing unexpected happens, each of them will have to stay in that small room for the rest of their lives.

They are used for experiments, for observation, for exploitation, and for trading as commodities.

If you leave the ward, you will either fight your way out like Jie Shuyi, or be sold as a commodity.

The child in front of him obviously did not have Jie Shuyi's ability, but if he was sold as a commodity, there would definitely be many people keeping a close eye on him and they would not allow him to run around.

"I..." The child suddenly let go of Li Shuyi's hand, his face red, looking very shy.

Xie Shuyi tilted his head, looking forward to his next words.

Then, in front of the child, the golden chain, as dazzling as gold, appeared in the little crybaby's hand again. As if it had consciousness, it carefully wrapped around Shuyi's little finger.

Xie Shuyi looked up at the child, whose face flushed instantly. "I...I suddenly was able to conjure this. I used this to open the cage that held me, and then opened the door to the room."

The child introduced himself shyly. He didn't know that he had awakened special abilities. He was just shyly telling his newfound discovery like an older brother he had just met.

There was still turbidity in those clear eyes that had not been tortured and polluted. For a moment, Jie Shuyi really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

The little crybaby must have just awakened his special abilities. Before that, he seemed to be raised like an ordinary child.

"Tsk."

The child looked up blankly, "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"

Xie Shuyi looked at him without saying anything. The torture he had received over the years had long since made him lose his compassion. He shouldn't have felt sorry for this child.

What could he pity him for?

It means nothing more than being unable to experience freedom throughout your life, nothing more than living in torture and pain forever, nothing more than losing everything.

But isn't it too cruel for a child who has just started to learn?

"how old are you?"

The little crybaby realized that Shuyi was not angry, so he carefully took his hand, and then the child's face was full of smiles.

"I don't know. No one has ever told me... How old is Big Brother?"

Xie Shuyi raised his chin, "14."

Ignoring the frustration in the child's tone, he stretched out his hand to compare their heights, "You should eat more, kid, you're too short!"

The little crybaby's face suddenly puffed up, "I will grow very tall in the future! I will definitely be taller than my brother!"

As if he was angry, he skipped forward.

Xie Shuyi smiled and shook his head, with a helpless look on his face, but he didn't say much. He just followed his footsteps and walked leisurely.

The rest of the journey went smoothly and they never encountered the man in black again.

Xie Shuyi was afraid that the child would be scared, so he kept chatting with him. He found that the child seemed to have no common sense other than being able to speak.

The weirdest thing is that as a kid, he didn’t seem to be in these white houses for very long.

From the description it sounded like it was only a week or two.

It was as if the first nine years of his life had been only a week or two.

Although Xie Shuyi felt it was weird, he didn't say much. After all, it was not uncommon for anything to happen in this shabby place.

When the two of them finally reached the intersection that would allow them to escape to freedom, someone had already been waiting there for a long time.

Sebastian turned around and seemed stunned when he saw the child. The smile in his eyes became even wider, and he gracefully performed a gentleman's salute.

Then he looked at Jie Shuyi.

"When you are tired of playing, it's time to go back to the cage."
