[Master, you can’t.]

The hamster crawled out from behind the dialog box and looked at Zhou Miao with its cheeks puffed up.

[You can only collect other people’s smiley faces once, and you can only do this by touching Cheng Heng.]

Zhou Miao cursed the profiteer hamster in her heart, but she still retrieved the smiley face.

“Cheng Heng, say thank you.” She said as she helped Cheng Heng wipe his face.

Cheng Heng looked at her, his eyes sparkling with tiny stars.

His eyes were usually bright, but they were unfocused as he cast his gaze around in confusion. However, Zhou Miao could feel that when Cheng Heng was looking at her, his eyes were focused fixedly on her.

Cheng Heng licked his lips. The tips of his ears had long been dyed a faint pink because of Zhou Miao’s actions of wiping his face. The evening light cast its rays gently on his face, and the fine and tiny hairs on his face blurred his face profile.

Zhou Miao was waiting for him to speak. He looked at Zhou Miao, and the room fell into silence.

After waiting a long time, Cheng Heng slowly said, “Thank you.”

A flock of birds suddenly flew past the window, their huge wings brushing past the floor-to-ceiling window as they shrieked loudly.

In the next second, the raised easel smashed a large hole through the floor-to-ceiling window in front of them, and the glass shards flew in all directions.

Zhou Miao’s first reaction was to protect the two of them behind her so that they wouldn’t be hit by the flying glass shards.

Fortunately, Zhou Miao’s reaction was quick, and Lu Yan wasn’t injured. However, her arm suffered a long cut by the glass shards.

On the other hand, Cheng Heng seemed to feel nothing at all. He picked up the glass shards and held them in his hand. His hand was quickly cut by the glass shards, and the red blood smeared on the blue glass made it look like a red carp.

His eyes were blank, and the expression above his head was one of fear and anger.

Mother Cheng and Su Shu heard the noise and rushed over. Su Shu held Lu Yan up to check if he was injured. Mother Cheng tried to snatch the glass shards from Cheng Heng’s hands, but Cheng Heng simply held on to them as if he found them fascinating.

Zhou Miao walked over and pried his fingers away one by one, cleaning out the glass shards.

Cheng Heng wanted to grab those fragments again, but he suddenly stopped when he saw Zhou Miao.

“You’ll get hurt.” Zhou Miao said, “Look, it’s bleeding… It’s very painful to bleed or get injured. It’s not a good thing.”

Zhou Miao raised the wound on her arm in front of Cheng Heng. She wanted to get Cheng Heng to understand that it was wrong to hurt himself like this.

Cheng Heng’s eyes were still blank, but he didn’t touch the glass shards again.

“It’s not a good thing…” he muttered to himself. “It’s not a good thing.”

After calming Cheng Heng down and applying medicine for him, Zhou Miao went to the living room to look for Mother Cheng.

“How is it?” Mother Cheng was very anxious.

“I’ve applied medicine on his wounds. He’s resting now.” Zhou Miao looked at Mother Cheng, whose eyes were red, and sighed in her heart.

“This is the first time I’ve seen him so unafraid of pain.” Zhou Miao shook her head. “He’s even clutching the glass shards in his hands.”

Mother Cheng sighed. “All these years, our family didn’t dare to use anything that contained glass. It’s because of him. He’s not afraid of pain, and he doesn’t even cry. Even when he gets beaten up, he doesn’t scream or cry, like he does not feel anything.”

“Has he been like this since he was young?” Zhou Miao was a little puzzled.

“Yes. He was bullied by a kid in the same class on one Sports Day. Some kid tripped him up deliberately, and he fell down a few times. When he came home to shower, I realized his leg was bruised.”

“At that time, I thought he was not good at sports, but later, I realized why he kept tripping. But it’s too late. He had an unhappy childhood just like that. This child…”

Mother Cheng took out a photo from the photo album. In the photo, Cheng Heng was covered in mud, standing among a group of bright and beautiful children. His face was covered in gray blotches as if he had just rolled in the dirt.

There was a faint light at the edge of the photo, and Zhou Miao thought she was seeing things.

[Ding! Master, you have found two tokens. You can exchange your smiley faces with me anytime to start the mission.]

The system hamster’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

[How many smiley faces do I need for the two tokens I found?]

[The photo token needs 2 smiley faces in exchange. Token X needs more than 500 in exchange, so it will not be displayed for now. Master’s current smiley face balance: 2]

It seemed that she could only make one exchange first.

[I’m doing the photo mission.]

[Okay. The mission will be carried out when Master is sleeping. Please be prepared.]

After chatting with Mother Cheng for a while, Zhou Miao also planned to go upstairs to rest.

There was a small balcony in the bedroom of this house, with a small swing for two people.
