"Speaking of which, there are no police outside anymore, can we go back to the courtyard house now?" Wu Xie collapsed onto the sofa after finishing washing the dishes.

"Okay, but I have to wait for the child. I'll go back whenever he wants," Xie Yuhua said, her fingers tapping on the keyboard.

"It's like I'm disloyal. Why don't my brothers call to check on us?" Wu Xie picked up his phone and started typing on the keyboard.

"Didn't you always say that Brother Zhang is a silent man? What kind of phone call could a silent man make to you?"

"That fat guy should be beaten up too, and at least Cheng Yu and Hei Xiazi should be beaten up as well, right? You didn't tell them I was poisoned and went to the hospital, did you? I didn't even get a word of comfort from them!"

"Haven't I given you enough comfort?"

The child can't hear, so I texted Chengyu to cancel all recent calls, and it seems to be working well. Xieyuhua was quite satisfied with Chengyu's abilities.

Wu Xie made a gritted-teeth face at Xie Yuhua, who was working on the sofa next to him, and then suddenly noticed Ling Xiao staring straight at him from another sofa.

Wu Xie was startled and felt a little annoyed that Ling Xiao was so frightening, but she still looked away and stopped making any faces at Xie Yuhua, and simply went to watch TV quietly.

Wu Xie's movements were so quick that Xie Yuhua didn't miss it. She walked over to Ling Xiao, sat down next to him, and patted his head. Only then did Ling Xiao obediently close his eyes.

It's naturally boring when no one's talking. And TV isn't something you can watch whenever you want. Ling Xiao's TV is quite strange; it only has a children's channel, and you can't switch to other channels even if you press the remote.

So Wu Xie set his sights on the CDs in the TV cabinet. The vertical TV cabinet had two whole shelves filled with CDs, each labeled with a category and then hidden by a transparent cabinet door.

Wu Xie opened the cabinet door and started rummaging through the contents. Some of the films were ones he had never seen before, and there were also a few blank discs marked with numbers from 1 to 5 in marker.

"Xiaohua, I want to see what this is. There are no categories on it, and there aren't any words on the CD. Can I play it out and take a look? If there's anything scary, could you turn it off for me?" Wuxie handed the remote control to Jieyuhua.

Jieyuhua glanced at the discs on the TV cabinet and nodded.

The television soon displayed a different image, more like a VCR than a film. The picture quality was very clear, but unfortunately, the television could not perfectly display its clarity. Xie Yuhua immediately recognized that the figure sitting on the bridge railing in the shot was a child.

The wind seemed quite strong that day; Ling Xiao's white shirt could barely contain his figure, as if it were about to leave him at any moment.

"Ling Xiao, look here!" A man's voice was clearly recorded in the video.

In the video, Ling Xiao enthusiastically waves to the camera.

"Ling Xiao, you're about to graduate. Do you have any wishes you want to fulfill?" The voice sounded quite cheerful.

In the video, Ling Xiao shook his head shyly, climbed over the bridge railing, and took a few steps to the side, hoping the camera would record less of him.

The camera kept filming him relentlessly, and the male voice urged, "Hurry up and say it, don't be shy, nobody will watch this video."

"I hope... I hope someone can love me." Ling Xiao said this while shyly lowering her head and covering the camera with her hand.

"Oh dear, what?! Don't you already have a lover? Say something nice, hurry up, the power's about to run out... Hey! No... " The voice stopped, and the video on the disc also ended, it seemed the power really was out.

However, the remaining few sheets seem to be re-recorded... Wu Xie thought to himself.
