Chapter 11

The clause was awakened by hunger. It lay there blinking twice before lazily sitting up to look at the room he was in. I don't know why I feel so warm inside. This place is so big but not lonely.

" General Ruan is probably at the company."

He got up and dragged his heavy steps to the window, grabbed the left side of the curtain, and pushed it aside. Suddenly realized that it was already late afternoon! Today he slept for a long time...

"Little Master."

"You don't have to call me that." Clause heard the voice behind him reflexively cowered and stepped back.

"Don't be afraid, I won't harm you. Young master, please allow me to introduce myself as the housekeeper An and take care of you."

Clause looked at the man in front of him and bowed respectfully to him and hurriedly did the same. He's not used to being treated like that remember before he didn't even get the slightest bit of attention from others...

"Please…please help me."

"Young master, are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry, thank you." Clause smiled shyly and took two steps back, tilting his head in thanks. General Ruan once said that people who meet them for the first time, must keep their distance from them, and also have to follow the opponent's every move.

" General Ruan told me when you wake up to have a meal or the naughty child will be spanked."

"But... but I'm not hungry... my head hurts so bad I can't eat."

Clause's pitiful twinkling eyes didn't look at the butler. Now, as long as Len the butler firmly forces him to eat, tears will immediately fall. It doesn't like it and doesn't like it at all.

The manager saw that and didn't know what to do. As an employee myself, I can't help but listen to my boss's instructions, but I also can't make the young master cry for the first time. The housekeeper feels his job is not easy.

"Young master, don't cry! Then I'll bring rice in about an hour, okay?"

"Ah! Len the butler is the best."

Clause happily and obediently bowed to thank him, but he did not expect that the other party would not respect its filth and filth, but slowly reached out and gently patted his head. Because for him, only Ruan General is like that.

"Young Master, you must eat it in an hour or you will be punished by General Ruan ."

"I know! Len the housekeeper can rest assured." They grabbed the corner of the man's shirt and nodded in confirmation. Clause knows that General Ruan is not an easy person to get along with.

"Young master is so good! You need to rest, I'll leave first."

Clause looked at the butler Len's figure in the distance before he let out a breath, but his mouth involuntarily twisted up maliciously.

"It's so big! It's fun not to explore."

He happily rummaged through the closet looking for a black coat. You two are so extravagant! Every item still has a stamp on its price, and it faints in the sky, making it weak every time it touches it.

"Ah! It's this one." Clause happily took his coat and went out. If I remember correctly, this style and my brother's shirt are a pair!!

Little Clause mixed himself into the darkness and quietly walked down the long corridor, but there was no sign of anyone, it was so cold and so lonely. The Ruan family was so large it was difficult to find a few figures. Perhaps the most luxurious place is also the dullest place.

"This Thursday." It reached out and touched the carved seal on the wall, giving it a very familiar feeling. Is this and the scar on my body the same thing?

Clause painfully clutched his head. Broken memories returned, but he didn't want to remember, he didn't want to remember anymore. Because it asked itself many times "What is the real you?" But perhaps it will forever be the most difficult question to answer!

...... Are you a pitiful weak person who needs someone to protect and love you?

...... Are you a cold, cruel person who can't be saved by death?

But in the end, no matter how human it is, it is still a Little Clause. That's right, just a Clause  Is an illegitimate child of the perishing Chen family. Also, a lucky child that Ruan took care of and lovingly gave her a new identity and a new life.

"Ha! You're a child no one needs."

It cries! Take all the suffering out. Because in the dark no one can see, no one can know how hurtful it is.

If when he was a child, he wouldn't cry even if he was beaten to death, but now he is so weak that just a little pain can cry. Maybe the older we get, the faster we cry...

"Where is its hope?"

Little Clause hugged the trembling body, it was like a wind that drifted everywhere without stopping. Where is the place of peace? Where is home called? Maybe those things are too luxurious for him so God can't give him five times seven times.

"I'm dead, will anyone cry?"

Clause smiled, but that smile could not be so beautiful and radiant that it appeared just to hide something that was most painful in man. And it shouldn't have appeared with a child-like it, but inherently human beings are not allowed to choose where they were born... choose the hurt and the loss.
