But why would Ling Haoyu appear in his memory...

Moreover... moreover...

Without time to ponder further, the scene in her mind suddenly changed to a standalone house, a tall ginkgo tree in front, and a woman watering flowers.

Exactly like her previous dream...

"Grandma..."

A tender child’s voice sounded, turning her head, she saw a little girl in a pink princess dress emerge from the house, running towards the woman.

The woman embraced her lovingly, speaking indulgently, "Linlin’s awake, are you hungry? Grandma will make you food right away, okay? What does Linlin want to eat?"

"Grandma’s dumplings."

"Alright, Grandma will make dumplings for you..."

The scene shifted once more, the sky illuminated by a fiery red light as bright as daylight, but now the same house was engulfed in flames.

By the water tank a few meters from the house, the little girl holding a doll and a lollipop stared tearfully towards the gate.

"Grandma, please come out. Linlin is scared, Grandma..."

Perhaps the fire was too intense, after several attempts failing to go inside, she finally braced herself, tossingly threw away the things in her hands into the nearby water tank, and staggered, crying, towards the house.

Ye Xinluo watched as the house collapsed in flames, before the girl reached the door, a burning beam fell towards her, striking her head, throwing her several meters away...

And then, she lost consciousness.

The scene flipped once again, this time without a young Ling Haoyu and without the house that caught fire, just the little girl lying on a simple hospital bed, her forehead wrapped in thick bandages.

Medical staff entered to examine her body...

The little girl shrank into a ball as if facing an enemy, her eyes fixated on the things in their hands, unable to utter a sound.

After the checkup, someone stood beside her and said, "What’s your name, where do you live, do you have any family contact we can have agree your relatives to come over..."

The girl stared blankly at her for a while before replying, "I don’t know..."

Later, at the familiar orphanage entrance that Ye Xinluo knew, a man squatted beside her, sighed slightly, and said, "You go in here, tell them you have no home, they’ll take you in..."

After speaking, he turned to leave, but the girl fearfully clung to his arm, not letting go, "Where are you going? Are you leaving me here alone?"

The man seemed a bit troubled but soon composed himself, "We’ve tried many ways but couldn’t reach your family, so the hospital decided to send you here, be good, go inside..."

It turned out that the person was from that hospital, maybe because nobody came looking for a long time, the staff felt sorry for the girl, discussed among themselves, and decided to pay her medical bills out of their own pockets, but couldn’t keep her by their side, so they decided to send her here...

The girl watched him leave in a daze, neither crying nor fussing, just standing there quietly, until a crystal drop slipped from her face after he disappeared from view.

The girl initially wanted to follow, but since she didn’t know him or who he was, she could only crouch shivering in the corner by the wall...

"Xinluo, Xinluo!! What’s wrong, say something, don’t scare me!"

A hurried male voice came to her ears.
