Chapter 191 The Butterfly Effect
Yu Xia followed Maomao to the messy residential area.

Along the way, she learned from Maomao that this medium-sized city was full of heavy industries that manufactured various mechas and equipment. Except for the central area where the rich and powerful upper class people lived, other areas were messy and dirty.

The buildings were mostly grey and black, the ground was greasy, I don't know if it was motor oil or something else, garbage was piled up everywhere, and all kinds of scrapped machines could be seen everywhere.

Maomao pulled Yu Xia through the narrow and dirty streets to where he lived.

An old building without an elevator.

Except for the central area, other places are basically filled with such low and dense buildings.

"Maomao, you're back!"

As soon as Yu Xia and he got downstairs, several children sitting at the door surrounded them.

She recognized them as the children who had just gone to the river with him.

When the children saw the beautiful big sister next to Maomao, their eyes widened.

Most of them had lived in this gray area for as long as they could remember. They had seen beautiful people before, but none as beautiful as this one.

I've never seen such bright colors on her. Her pink hair and blue eyes were so bright and out of place in their dirty and messy residential area.

The children who were about to approach Maomao stopped in their tracks, not daring to get too close. They all looked at Yu Xia with amazement and curiosity.

"Hey, you caught a fish!" A boy who was a head taller than Maomao was braver. He ran to Maomao, glanced at Yu Xia out of the corner of his eye, and reached out to take the fish from Maomao's bucket.

Maomao kicked him away and said, "Don't touch my things."

"You!" The boy covered his chest and rushed forward angrily. Yu Xia raised his hand and used his mental power to stop his movements.

It was this boy who pushed Maomao out and ran away with the other children.

"Let's go." Maomao pulled Yu Xia upstairs.

Yu Xia looked back and saw the group of children staring at them eagerly.

Yu Xia retracted his gaze and asked Maomao, "Maomao, they just abandoned you. Will you hate them?"

Maomao shook his head. "I don't like them, but I don't hate them. They are just afraid. I will settle accounts with whoever bullies me."

Yu Xia sighed in her heart and looked at him tenderly, "Maomao, you are a very good child."

"Can it be like this in the future?" Maomao said silently.

Yu Xia: "Later?"

Maomao: "Like just now by the river, you are awesome."

Even though he felt like he was dreaming, he was afraid that the girl would leave soon. He didn't want the girl to protect him, but he could feel that she wanted to protect him, so he hoped to use this reason to keep her.

Yu Xia thought about it and quickly understood what he meant. She said, "As long as I'm here, it's fine. When I'm not here, if you meet someone you can't beat, just run away. First of all, protect yourself and don't act tough."

This was just one of Huo Lin's memories. It was impossible for her to grow up with him, but now she had interfered with his memory, which was equivalent to him knowing her when he was six years old.

She didn't know whether this interference would have a butterfly effect, affecting his other memories without her, or even affecting his personality.

She was a little worried.

"Are you leaving?" Maomao clenched her hand nervously.

Yu Xia smiled and touched his head, "Don't leave now."

Maomao looked up at her and stopped talking about leaving, fearing that it was just a dream and she would disappear as soon as he mentioned the relevant keywords.

Maomao lived on the top floor, the ninth floor. He was afraid that Yu Xia would get tired from climbing the stairs, so he walked very slowly and even wanted to carry her on his back.

Yu Xia refused him with a helpless look. Although Maomao was as tall as her chest at the age of six, she would not let a six-year-old child carry her upstairs.

"arrive."

Maomao entered the password into the iron door, and it opened. "Did you set the password yourself?" Yu Xia asked after looking at the complicated password lock on his door.

"Well, this will be safer." Maomao waited for her to enter the room and close the door, then put down the bucket and ran to tidy up his room like the wind.

Yu Xia stood in the messy living room and looked around at the environment he lived in. There was no furniture in the living room, the walls were a little dirty and covered with messy posters, and various machine parts were scattered on the ground.

But the ground is clean.

This was thanks to the sweeping robot that had been working as soon as she came in. Judging from its appearance, she guessed that Maomao had made it himself.

Seeing Maomao picking up the parts on the ground skillfully, she called him, "No need to clean up, just live your normal life."

After hearing this, Maomao paused, dropped the parts in his hand, and climbed upstairs from the stairs in the corner.

Yu Xia looked up and found that there were several compartments above. The stairs were also spiral, dividing the upper floors into several levels.

The house is a bit small, only about 40 to 50 square meters, but it is enough for a six-year-old child.

But Yu Xia soon found out that he was wrong.

"click"

The iron gate opened, Yu Xia turned around and met several pairs of cautious and curious eyes.

They were the kids I just met downstairs.

The children entered the house one after another. Although it was their own place, they felt extremely cramped and stood at the door, not daring to take another step closer.

Maomao peeked out from upstairs and then ran down quickly.

He spread the blanket in the middle of the living room, put a cushion there, took Yu Xia's hand and asked her to sit down, "I'm going to cook the fish, you eat this first."

Maomao opened an iron can and placed it in front of Yu Xia. Inside was all the precious snacks he had saved up, including some candies.

"You are not allowed to eat it." After warning the children at the door, Maomao took the bucket and went to the small kitchen to cook the fish.

As soon as he left, Yu Xia waved to the children at the door, "Come, come to me."

As soon as she called out, several children immediately ran to her side, but they all stopped one meter in front of her, scratching their heads while finger-clasping, and looking at her nervously.

"Do you live with Maomao?" Yu Xia asked them.

The children nodded repeatedly.

Yu Xia asked again: "Who usually takes care of you?"

One boy said, "Jenny and Willy."

Yu Xia: "Who are they? Your adoptive parents?"

The boy shook his head: "They are the directors of the orphanage."

Yu Xia reacted: "Is this an orphanage?"

The boy nodded.

Yu Xia looked at their gray cheeks and thought that there were probably too many children here and she couldn't take care of them much. It would be good enough if she could give them food to eat and a place to live.

The boy asked, "Sister, who are you to Maomao?"

"Me?" Yu Xia thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I am the guide he picked up. I have nowhere to go, so I can only live here from now on."

Maomao, who was cooking fish in the kitchen, moved his ears. Will she live with him in the future?
Is she going to stay with me forever?

Maomao turned his head and looked at a mirror between the kitchen and the bathroom. The man in the mirror was tall, with a black shadow on his body, as if he would merge with the darkness behind him at any time.

He placed his hand on the mirror, and the figure in the mirror made the same movement as him, "Let her stay with us forever, don't let her leave us."
