But I, along with Qian Fan, have reached this point. When I found him, he was crouching under the bridge. His back looked utterly dejected. I walked up and was about to ask him, "What are you doing?" when Qian Fan suddenly looked up, our eyes meeting. "Nothing, just eating garbage." I stood there in shock. Qian Fan got up and asked, "Why did you come here?" I didn't know how to respond. He didn't give me a chance to answer and walked away. I crouched down in the spot where he had just been, looking at the bridge's archway. I reached out and slowly touched the wall of the arch. There were a few loose bricks below. Curious, I knocked on them and pulled one out. A small wooden house suddenly appeared before me. I stared at it blankly, unable to regain my senses for a long time. When I was young, my home was also a wooden house. Later, it was completely burned down in a big fire. Carefully, I took out the wooden house and looked inside at the green plants; my hands were trembling. I recognized this wooden house. It had accompanied me through countless joyful childhood moments. But now that it appeared here, it could only mean one thing: Qian Fan knows my story. 0
 
 
I held the wooden house in confusion, watching the flowing water in the cave. Suddenly, I remembered what Chen Siqi had said to me before. 0
 
"He knows you are with him for the money." 0
"He is currently under the bridge." 0
"If you want to know, just go see for yourself." 0
"I only know that he goes there whenever he is in a bad mood." 0
 
That day, I hugged the wooden house, my face filled with bewilderment. Chen Siqi looked at me and sighed lightly, "Actually, I know everything." 0
"He knows about you, which is why he often goes there." 0
"But he doesn't know that you also know about him." 0
"You two really are..." 0
 
I didn't respond because I realized I didn't know what to say. Why was Qian Fan doing this? Was it merely out of pity for me? 0
 
I held the wooden house and gazed at the stream before me, lost in thought. When I was a child, my home was also a wooden house. My mother was a teacher at the school. Every day, she would teach her students while I obediently listened nearby. After the students left, my mother would prepare delicious food for me. 0
 
One day, I took a small wooden sign and hung it at our front door. I asked my mother, "Do you think this door looks nice?" 0
 
 
Mom smiled lightly, "It's beautiful." 0
"When Xiaoxuan grows up, I can make a door and hang it on Mom's door." 0
"Then, Xiaoxuan will be able to protect Mom." 0
That night, our house caught fire. 0
The flames were intense. 0
The raging fire consumed my home and took Mom with it. 0
I stood outside, crying helplessly. 0
Mom walked out from inside, holding her diary, tears streaming down her face. 0
She touched my cheek and said, "Xiaoxuan, remember what Mom said." 0
"If one day you miss me, let the wind carry you back." 0
"Mom will always be here waiting for you." 0
That day, Mom's house burned down. 0
She was killed in the fire. 0
I was taken away and forced to call another woman "Mom." 0
But I knew she was not my mom. 0
My mom is the best mom in the world. 0
No one can compare to her. 0
I trembled as I reached out and picked up a transparent umbrella from the stream. 0
Inside the umbrella was a wooden plaque. 0
It read, "Reach for the Stars." 0
It was decorated with flowers and stars. 0
I picked up the umbrella and stared blankly at it. 0
