There is no system for the anime, so I have to work hard on my own.

In the evening, the sun changed color and became golden. The thick clouds were no longer white under the setting sun.

The light that shines through the clouds is as gentle as a mother's hand, covering this green space with a warm halo.

The park also appears quiet and peaceful, full of brilliance under the caress of the setting sun.

The old people strolled slowly, enjoying the afterglow of the sunset and the comfort of the breeze.

The children ran and played happily on the lawn, releasing their nature to the fullest.

Their laughter echoed in the park, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

On the benches, couples sit together, feeling each other's presence and appreciating the sunset.

The gentle breeze and the fragrance of flowers and plants give people the illusion of being in a paradise. And the sweet scent that emanates from the lovers from time to time makes people yearn for them and wish them a long-lasting love.

However, all this had nothing to do with Ye Yusheng. He just sat quietly on the swing, his eyes blank, thinking about what happened today -

When he woke up, what he saw was not the familiar walls, but an unfamiliar alley. Looking into the distance, he saw buildings he had never seen before.

The foul smell that came from his nose from time to time instantly cleared his still groggy brain.

Following the direction of the smell, he turned his head and saw the mountain of garbage.

You can also see swarms of mosquitoes flying around, which is disgusting.

The surroundings were abnormally quiet, with no other sounds except the buzzing of mosquitoes. Logically, both pedestrians and speeding vehicles should have made noise.

Thinking of this, Ye Yusheng knew that the place where he woke up must be very remote.

At the same time, he couldn't help rubbing his eyes, hoping that everything in front of him was just an illusion.

However, he was disappointed.

This is reality, not an illusion.

Moreover, he discovered something that made him even more desperate—

His body shrank from about 1.7 meters to 1.2 meters, and his face became chubby and so tender that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

Look at the hands and feet again, hmm, short arms and legs, like a five or six-year-old child.

The pajamas he was wearing were hanging loosely and were so big that they could almost be used as a cape. The long sleeves and trouser legs were in the way.

Just as he was about to stand up, he tripped and nearly fell.

So he rolled up his long sleeves and trouser legs to make himself less uncomfortable.

Then, using the tall buildings as a guide, he began to take steps. His white, tender feet hurt as they stepped on the hard concrete road.

grass! ! !

Why are there no shoes!!!

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally reached the high-rise building and saw people coming and going. He was excited at the moment, especially since the clothes on those people were not much different from what he remembered.

But when he got closer, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of loneliness in his eyes, because those people were no longer speaking the Chinese language he was familiar with, but Japanese.

In other words, overnight, not only did his body shrink back to the size of a five or six-year-old, but he also came to Japan, a place he was not familiar with.

But at least I didn't travel to another world.

He thought with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a newspaper on the ground, and then he collapsed mentally -

If I had not seen the light, I could have endured the darkness.

Similarly, if he knew from the beginning that it was a different world, he could still comfort himself by saying that he could never go back.

Then live well.

However, reality played a joke on him.

He has just arrived in Japan now and just needs to wait. He still has the possibility of returning home.

If the time in the newspaper was still 2024, he could still deceive himself by saying that in this world, his family and friends might still be waiting for him on that continent.

However, what separates him from his relatives, friends, teachers, classmates and the familiar motherland now is no longer the vast ocean that can be easily crossed by ships, nor the distance that can be easily crossed by planes, but time, time that cannot be crossed.

If there is anything that is the cruelest in the world, it is undoubtedly giving people hope and then cutting off that hope.

As for Ye Yusheng, he now experienced this kind of despair.

His mentality did not collapse when he woke up from a strange place.

He didn't collapse when he found his body getting smaller.

When he found himself in Japan, he still didn't break down.

However, when he saw the date the newspaper was printed, his mentality collapsed instantly, and the hope in his eyes was completely cut off, leaving only emptiness and numbness.

He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

He wanted to cry loudly, but he couldn't.

He could only take stiff steps, wandering aimlessly and tirelessly, trying to vent his emotions.

It was not until he reached the park that his legs became extremely heavy and he could no longer move. He stopped and sat on the swing, motionless, like a doll, in a daze.

Gradually, the sky darkened and the streetlights in the park lit up one by one, adding a touch of warmth to this quiet space. People left reluctantly, leaving behind a peaceful and quiet scene.

The park under the setting sun heralds the end of one day and the dawn of a new one. It is a place of rest in the city, where people can feel the warmth and beauty of life.

But Ye Yusheng still did not leave, maintaining his original posture, sitting on the swing, swinging with the wind.

Suddenly, a dazzling light shone from a distance, and as time passed, the light became brighter and brighter.

Then came the sound of footsteps.

Ye Yusheng, who was originally in a daze, turned his head.

Soon, he knew the identity of the visitor from his clothes - a patrolman.

The patrolman naturally also saw the lonely figure sitting on the swing.

The outfit he was wearing looked ill-fitting and was obviously an adult's pajamas.

He looks about five or six years old, with a cute chubby face.

What surprised him was that this child did not have a childish smile at all. Instead, his whole face was filled with bitterness that did not belong to his age.

The little nose was covered with dirt and sweat.

The feet that should have been white were not only covered in dust, but also covered with scars, and even dark brown blood clots could be seen.

The eyes looking at him were completely devoid of any color, empty and numb. Looking at this child, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed by something, and it hurt so much.

Those slightly hunched shoulders seemed to be bearing an unimaginable weight.

It was hard for the patrolman to imagine what had happened to cause a child who should have been laughing and playing to lose his innocence and become what he saw before him.

He wanted to ask, but found that his mouth had become extremely dry and he couldn't make a sound. His eyes also felt sore.

In the end, he said nothing, but walked forward quietly, gently picked up the child on the swing, and walked towards the police car.

I don’t know if it was because he walked too much today and was physically tired, or because he saw the patrolman and felt relaxed, but in any case, Ye Yusheng fell asleep.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying on a clean and tidy bed. Next to him was a policewoman with her arms folded and her head nodding, as if she would fall asleep at any moment.

And his ill-fitting pajamas disappeared, replaced by a set of children's pajamas, and his little feet were wrapped in bandages.

As if sensing something, the policewoman next to her suddenly raised her head and opened her eyes.

When she saw Ye Yusheng looking around from time to time, her face unconsciously showed a little more joy: "Little brother, you are finally awake!"

However, Ye Yusheng couldn't understand what she was saying at all, and his chubby little face was full of confusion.

In an instant, the policewoman felt like she was poured with a bucket of cold water, and the joy in her heart was wiped out.

But she still forced a smile and continued to ask questions, wanting to find out some basic information.

Finally, she finally realized that the child seemed to not understand what she was saying at all.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but panic and ran out in a hurry, still shouting: "Fujino-senpai, it's not good."

The police officer known as Senior Fujino looked at the reckless policewoman in front of him and could not help but scold her: "Kanako, calm down. It's unbecoming of you to be so reckless."

Kanako couldn't help but shrink when she heard Officer Fujino's scolding. It was obvious that she was a little afraid of this serious senior.

After taking a few deep breaths, Kanako finally spoke: "Senior, the child you brought back last night has woken up, but he seems to have lost his memory and can't understand what I say at all."

Officer Fujino couldn't help but frown. "That's really troublesome. I was thinking of asking the child's parents and relatives, but it seems that won't work!"

"Forget it, I'd better go in and take a look!" As he said that, Officer Fujino walked towards the room where Ye Yusheng was.

After a while, Officer Fujino came out, his already frown deepening.

After pinching his brows, Officer Fujino spoke: "Looks like I'll be busy."

Suddenly, a cell phone rang, and I picked up the phone: "Hello, this is Fujino."

"I'm sorry, Fujino-senpai, I haven't found any useful leads on the child you asked me to investigate." A voice full of apology came over the microphone. "Your request was so difficult, but I didn't follow through. I'm truly sorry."

It's impossible not to be disappointed. However, after hearing the other party's self-blaming words, Fujino still forced himself to cheer up and said a few words of comfort: "Ono-kun, you've done a good job! Besides, isn't the lack of clues also a clue? So, stand up straight!"

"Ah? Really? I'm glad I could help you, Senior!"

"Okay, I'm hanging up now. If you have any clues, remember to contact me in time!"

"Yes, Senior!!!"

……

Five days later, there were still no useful clues.

Sitting in the chair and looking at various reports, Fujino couldn't help but frown again.

After a long investigation, he found that the child seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and everything in his past was blank.

Not to mention helping the other person find family and relatives.

"Does this mean that we can only send her to an orphanage?"

However, when he recalled the dead and empty eyes he saw that night, Officer Fujino felt heartbroken again.

He really didn't feel comfortable sending the other person to an orphanage.

……

And Ye Yusheng, in the past few days, has gradually accepted the reality—

He is no longer that college graduate!

I am no longer that kid who likes to read novels and cartoons!

Or rather, now, he has no one to rely on except himself!

So, he must be strong!

Even without the time traveler's golden finger, he must be strong.

So, the first step is to relearn.

So, when Officer Fujino saw Ye Yusheng again, he saw him sitting on the bed with a book in his hand.

In the book, there are common pictures, and below them are words marked with romanization.

And his eyes were no longer empty.

Some are expectations for the future, as well as imperceptible loneliness and confusion.

However, when he saw Officer Fujino, a smile broke out on his cute little face, and he uttered his first words since coming into this world: "Ari ga to u, Fujino Patrolman (Thank you, Officer Fujino)!"

Hearing Ye Yusheng's stammering words of thanks, Officer Fujino's frown relaxed and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

That’s really, really great.

His eyes couldn't help but look at Kanako beside him, full of admiration.

It was also from that day that Ye Yusheng discovered that his learning ability seemed to have become extremely powerful.

If he could only speak haltingly on the fifth day, then on the sixth day, he was able to communicate normally with Officer Fujino.

"Officer Fujino, thank you so much." Ye Yusheng couldn't help but bow to Officer Fujino from the bottom of his heart.

"Xiaoye, you're too polite. Helping those in need—isn't that what police officers do?" Officer Fujino patted Ye Yusheng on the shoulder. "Alright, go say goodbye to your sister Kanako. Don't keep Dean Yakushi waiting."

Hearing Officer Fujino's reminder, Ye Yusheng ran to Kanako and bowed as well: "Sister Kanako, thank you for taking care of me these days!"

The sentimental Kanako reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Xiaoye, listen carefully to the director of the orphanage. If you have any difficulties, remember to come to me!"

"I will be obedient, Kanako-sister!"

……

"Cry if you want!"

"I'm not crying, Fujino-senpai is a bully!"

However, the tears in the corners of my eyes could no longer be controlled and flowed down.

"Don't worry, Xiaoye will be fine."

"I know."

Kanako wiped her eyes.

"Okay, time to work!"

"Yes! Senior!!"
