Looking back, I saw Hawkins.

What are you doing here?

"I came here to pick you up. The colonel wanted to see you and that girl, and then I saw you through the glass on the street. What, are you buying her clothes?"

“Yes,” Lu Ye said, “Let’s go outside to talk; it’s a bit uncomfortable to stay here.”

Inside the changing room.

"You've really found a good person."

The old woman smiled and helped Violet choose underwear by comparing her size with the measurements.

nice guy?

Violet thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"He's not a good person."

"Ok?"

"He's a dog, and he's Violet's best friend."

The old woman's hands stopped moving abruptly.

"Could you tell me about that, about the dog?"

Chapter 66 The Story of the Little Boy and the Dog (Long Chapter)

Do you want to hear it?

"Of course, I'd like to hear more."

The old woman smiled slightly.

She seemed to have a great interest in it.

Before me stood a girl as exquisite as a doll.

Accompanying her was a man with black hair and brown eyes who was not yet a young man.

In this western continent crisscrossed by steel and railroad tracks, such a combination is truly rare, yet surprisingly, it doesn't feel out of place at all.

If we're going to ask why, we should naturally look for the reasons in the boys and girls themselves, right?

She's so young and already dares to do role-playing; I don't even want to think about what she'll do in the future.

Violet silently took a strange little booklet from the small pocket of her clothes.

It's not big, only slightly larger than a pocketbook.

To the old woman, its style seemed quite peculiar; she could roughly make out that the cover depicted a puppy playing with a little boy.

"Shall I see it?" the old woman asked.

The girl nodded solemnly and handed over the booklet with both hands with great care.

If Lu Ye were here, he would have noticed.

That booklet was a comic book I bought for Violet from a "shop" when we were on the island, to keep her entertained.

The girl treasured this comic book very much.

After fastening the girl's bra and dressing her, the old woman curiously flipped through the comic book.

The contents are nothing special.

Although the text is written in Chinese, the overly simple and straightforward visuals make it easy for people to understand.

The story is simple and easy to understand; it's a heartwarming tale about a child who finds a lonely, abandoned puppy and takes good care of it.

The story ends with the puppy's wound healing completely, but the child moves to a far, far away place and never comes back.

The old woman carefully read through it.

Thinking back to the collar that had been around the girl's neck not long ago, she roughly understood what had happened.

—He's over sixty years old, so he certainly has that much experience and insight.

However, what caught her attention was the girl's explanation.

The girl seemed to have been rescued by the boy, and gradually "recovered" under his care.

But why did she position herself as a "little boy"?

The old woman was very curious about this, so she asked Violet about it.

Violet's reasoning was also quite reasonable.

No, to be precise, it was something she came to understand after combining it with the content of the comic.

The little boy is feeding the puppy...

The little boy built a little wooden house for the puppy...

The little boy is giving the puppy a bath...

These are all plot points from comics.

The little boy is the owner who takes care of the puppy.

Puppy—the object of care.

The girl unconsciously identified with the "little boy".

All of this is not unfounded.

While on the island, although she wasn't in charge of cooking, most of the ingredients were prepared by the girls.

For example, being instructed by someone to pick coconuts and breadfruit.

For example, being instructed by someone to collect seafood.

For example, most of the lambs in the sheepfold were actually caught by the young girls with their bare hands...

This scene symbolizes the little boy bringing food to the puppy.

Violet didn't think about the gap between comics and reality; she simply made a comparison.

Therefore, in her view, she was the one who "took care" of others.

Moreover, from some perspectives, this is irrefutable evidence.

Although Lu's archery skills have reached LV3, what good is that?

The original bow and arrow were at their best in terms of power and accuracy at a distance of about ten meters.

But witnessing firsthand the screams of his comrades after being struck in the knee by an arrow, and the scene of them being dragged away by someone drooling and with a devilish smile...

The sheep, accustomed to a leisurely life, were awakened by their survival instincts.

They became so aware of their surroundings that it became difficult for anyone to even approach the flock, let alone shoot.

If you think about it carefully, you'll realize that most of the sheep in the sheepfold don't have any wounds. Why is that?

Even though a sheep has four legs, it cannot match the agility of a young girl's two legs.

Moreover, if you use your fist, you naturally won't leave any external injuries caused by sharp arrows...

Of course, internal injuries are another matter.

Houses are easier to understand.

From cutting down trees to processing them and then building houses, who contributed the most effort...?

It's not just obvious at a glance, it's downright obvious!

While the girl was chopping wood under the sun, someone was comfortably lying in the shade of a coconut tree, eating cookies and drinking coconut juice, while occasionally gesturing and giving orders to the girl...

of course.

From an objective point of view, in a few years, when the girl is more humane, her answer will surely change, right?

It's not about taking care of others, but about being taken care of by others.

Although it has not been detected yet.

But when you finally find yourself nestled in the arms of someone you can trust, whispering their stories to them, that will surely be the most romantic thing in the world.

Because although someone may be lazy when exerting physical effort, they are actually putting in more mental effort.

From Violet's current perspective and with her limited understanding, she naturally cannot comprehend the reasons behind this.

The comic's content was so relatable that she realized she was "taking care" of someone.

But in another sense, it really was Violet who took care of him; otherwise, Lu Ye wouldn't have been living so comfortably on the island and even had a house to live in.

Therefore, from the girl's perspective alone, she is a little boy, and Lu Ye is a puppy being cared for...

Is this reasonable?

That makes perfect sense.

Don't expect a person to easily change their nature just because they've changed their environment.

It can only be said that Lu's momentary laziness led him to shoot himself in the foot, turning him from a human into a dog.

After listening to Violet's words, which were almost a mixture of accusation and statement.

The old woman was speechless.

It is indeed inappropriate to push most of the work onto a frail young girl.

But she sensed that Violet's unusual behavior wasn't related to this.

If that's the only reason, then why?

That doll-like, exquisite face, those eyes that seemed indifferent to everything in the world…

Why did a hint of sadness appear on the girl's almost blank face?

Violet quietly looked at the last page of the comic.

The puppy watched the little boy walk away from the middle of the road.

The old woman seemed to realize she had made a mistake.
