Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words

"Is she worried about something?"

Children would normally feel tired after playing all day so late at night, but looking at the little girl in his eyes, that didn't seem to be the case.

"Xuan Li, can you go and take a look?"

Nicole also noticed Pesci and spoke to Xuanli.

"Although I'm not very good at coaxing children, I should still understand the situation."

Xuan Li nodded, left the small room and walked towards the activity room. Although he tried to slow down his pace, the sound of footsteps could still be heard.

When they arrived outside the activity room, Nicole did not go in, but watched Xuan Li walk in.

Peschi seemed to be staring out the window in a daze and did not notice Xuanli's arrival until he walked up to her, then she came to her senses.

"Brother Xuanli? Didn't you get any rest?"

Blinking her eyes, Peixi first became concerned about Xuanli's situation.

"I'm fine. What is little Pesci doing here?"

Xuan Li maintained the demeanor of a caring older brother, with his hands on the window, and asked slowly and calmly.

"I don't know...it's just...very uncomfortable."

Peschi shook her head. How could she explain her emotions at the moment?

"Does little Pesci miss her parents?"

Xuan Li didn't beat around the bush, but spoke directly with a gentle expression on his face as he spoke in a low voice.

"Father and mother...are both gone."

"Pexi has been alone for a long time. What can we do if we miss them? They won't come back."

Peschi shook her head and said some cold and cruel words in a childish tone.

Strangely, she didn't seem very sad. She was just stating a fact, and her own heart seemed to be frozen.

Xuan Li looked up at the yard outside the window, then looked up at the starry sky and smiled slightly.

"Little Pesci, do you like looking at the stars?"

Peschi nodded. She often couldn't sleep at night. There was nothing in the orphanage, and it seemed like there was nothing else to do except looking at the stars.

"The starry sky will always be there, even if it is occasionally obscured by clouds and fog, it will always be there."

Xuan Li spoke softly, lowered his eyes to look at Pei Xi, squatted down and smiled, and said softly

"Actually, little Pesci is not alone. You and I are both children of the stars."

"Not just you and me, but everyone in the orphanage is considered a star child."

"Children of the stars?"

Pei Xi was puzzled and looked up at Xuan Li. Xuan Li did not explain immediately, but instead said

“The stars are always watching us. Even when the sun rises, they are still there, but their light is obscured.”

"In other words, Pesci grew up under the watchful eyes of the stars."

Xuan Li knew that no matter how precocious the little girl in front of him was, she was just a child.

And the heart of a child...

Pesci blinked, thought of something, and whispered

"But...but, the stars in the sky are in groups. Aren't we dispensable to them?"

Xuan Li shook his head slightly and said softly

"Although the stars appear very close to each other, they are actually very far apart. So they are very lonely in the dark universe."

"universe?"

Peixi didn't understand the concept of the universe, but since these words came from Xuanli's mouth, she chose to believe it.

"What can I do? I always feel so small compared to the stars. I guess I'm insignificant..."

Xuan Li smiled slightly, not caring about logic and rigor. He was weaving a dream embroidery for Peschi.

"Actually, the children of the stars all have a heavy responsibility. That is, we have to shoulder the responsibility of caring for the stars since we were young."

Xuan Li picked up Peixi and placed her on the windowsill. It was dark and cloudless at this time. Facing the vast starry sky, he pointed his finger at the night sky.

"They watched us grow up, and we have to take care of them. Lonely stars don't want to be alone."

"And there are so many stars, more than the water drops in the ocean, more than the grains of sand in the desert. People can't take care of them all. To the lonely stars, little Pesci is unique."

Looking at the sky, the stars in Peschi's eyes seemed to be reflected, but she was still very confused at this moment.

"What can I do... I can't give them food or chat with them, so is it enough to just watch them..."

Now beside Peixi, Xuanli supported her with one hand and placed the other hand on his chest.

"We have a heart."

“The thoughts of the mind can connect both parties across billions of miles. The stars cannot respond, but they can listen.”

"Everything Pesci wants to say can be heard."

His eyes flickered slightly, and Xuan Li stated the purpose of his preparations up to now.

"Perhaps your parents, Pesci, are like stars in the sky, watching over you right now."

"They are guarding you because they hope that little Peixi will shine like a star. Little Peixi, you can't let this light go out on your own."

As soon as she finished speaking, the starlight in Peschi's eyes quickly dimmed, and she lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look at the stars in the sky.

"I shouldn't have survived... If it weren't for me, my mother wouldn't have come home. She could have just run away, and my father wouldn't have turned into a corpse..."

It seemed that it was because Xuan Li himself made people feel at ease, or perhaps it was because of his gentle attitude. In short, this little girl who had closed her heart gradually opened up...

"I'm just a jinx, I only hurt those around me. If it weren't for me, if it weren't for me..."

Tears as big as beans fell one by one. Peschi tried her best to hold them back, but these emotions that had been suppressed for so long were not easy to control.

"This isn't your fault. It has nothing to do with you. Little Pesci, don't take the blame on yourself. It was clearly the accident caused by the void explosion, and it's not something you can prevent."

Xuan Li reached out and touched the head of little Peixi in his arms, held her in his arms, and spoke softly and gently.

He finally understood why Peschi deliberately avoided other children, even though she longed to play with them.

If he hadn't forcibly pulled her over before, I'm afraid she would still choose to refuse in the end...

After hearing these words, Peschi cried even harder.

Xuan Li knew that this was not a bad thing.

It will be much easier if you cry it out.

"Pessy cried so much. If the stars in the sky saw it, they would probably feel the same way..."

"If you keep crying, the stars will be sad too."
