Mengyao's home is actually not that far from Li Hao's apartment.
In other words, students who choose to study in this special senior high school class will find a temporary residence locally even if their homes are far away.
Accompany you when you study, take exams, stay with you...
This seems to be a perfectly normal choice for parents of high school seniors.
On the contrary, Li Hao, who lives alone in the apartment, is the other one.
Of course, when it comes to being different, Mengyao's situation is not far behind.
As mentioned before, Mengyao is a top student.
But because of her identity as a girl, she was not taken seriously by her parents.
It was Mengyao's grandmother who insisted on letting Mengyao continue to study, and that's how she became who she is now.
However, even with her grandma's firm support, Mengyao still dropped out of school and repeated grades several times before barely finishing high school.
Otherwise, with Mengyao's academic attributes, she should have been admitted to a top university in advance when she was fourteen or five years old.

"So, is that why you live here?"
Standing at the entrance of the street, Li Hao looked at the gloomy and low-rise bungalows, feeling as if he had entered another side of the city.
Here, there are no high-rise buildings or exquisite streets, only the endless darkness and dampness.
Faintly, Li Hao could even smell the stench coming from the sewer.
To be honest, Li Hao thought that the apartment he rented was already very simple.
But it wasn't until he saw this residential alley consisting entirely of short bungalows that he realized that he was still a little "above the world" after all.
Even in the 21st century...
Even if it is a second-tier city ranked first in this province...
There is still a dark side here that I have never seen before, a back side of the city that should have disappeared with the tide of the times.
"Surprised, right?"
With a faint smile on her face that wasn't quite sad, Mengyao said in a very calm tone.
"When I first came here, I was actually surprised."
"It turns out that even in the big cities that everyone thinks of, there are also hidden corners like these that the sun doesn't shine through!"
The voice paused briefly, and Mengyao's feigned surprise made it completely impossible to see clearly what she was really thinking.
"However, for outsiders like us who can't integrate into this city..."
"This is the perfect place to settle down."
"The rent is cheap, food is convenient, and there won't be too much interaction between neighbors..."
Before Mengyao could continue her words, Li Hao took the initiative to interrupt him.
"You don't need to make these unnecessary disguises in front of me."
"Because if you really thought this place was good, you wouldn't have come to see me last night."
Looking at Mengyao who seemed to be in a trance, Li Hao sighed in a slightly deep tone.
“Is it really a good thing that neighbors don’t have much interaction with each other?”
"If your grandma had been discovered in time yesterday, maybe she wouldn't have died at home, right?"
Slowly turning his eyes, Li Hao's eyes finally stopped in front of a slightly noisy residential building not far away.
"That should be your family!"
It was obviously a question sentence, but Li Hao used an affirmative tone when he said this sentence.
Because in this alley where almost everyone goes out to work or study during the day, the sad and crying crowd of that family stood out so clearly.
"..."
Following Li Hao's gaze, Mengyao suddenly fell into speechless silence.
"Go! Go back to your family!"
"Your grandma just passed away, and you disappeared inexplicably all night. I think your family should be very worried about you."
Li Hao could understand Mengyao's hatred for her parents, but he knew better that Mengyao still did not have the ability to live alone.
Whether the other party wants it or not, she must return to her family now.
This is not a question of life, but a question of survival.
"Your parents may indeed favor sons over daughters, but your brother cares about you very much."
When he said this, Li Hao kept his eyes on the little boy opposite.
Judging from his age, he must be Mengyao's younger brother.
Unlike the adults who had been crying and arguing, the ignorant little boy seemed to have no idea what was happening.
Perhaps because of this, the little boy was the first to discover Mengyao and Li Hao.
The moment he saw Mengyao, the little boy immediately grinned and waved his arms towards her happily.
"Next time you feel you have nowhere to go, think of your brother."
"Apart from your grandma, he may be the only person in the world who cares about you."
Turning around slowly, Li Hao had no intention of getting involved in Mengyao's family affairs, so he planned to leave here.
"Thank you!"
At this moment, Mengyao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Thanks?"
The steps walking out couldn't help but pause for a moment, and Li Hao laughed from an angle that Mengyao couldn't see.
"no need thank me?"
"Thank you for taking you in?"
"Why don't you thank me for skipping class with you today?"
The voice paused again, and Li Hao immediately spoke again.
"Also, please don't misunderstand me. I paid a 'price' for helping you."
"Maybe you won't feel that way today."
"But believe me, one day you will realize how heavy this 'price' is."
He raised his right hand with his back to Mengyao.
A card with golden light suddenly appeared in Li Hao's hand.
"I just hope that when that day comes, you won't regret asking me for help."
Due to the angle, Mengyao could not clearly see the true appearance of the golden card.
But the moment I saw the golden card.
Mengyao suddenly felt as if a piece of her heart was missing, and she had an inexplicable feeling that she had lost something important.
Mengyao's intuition told her that she had lost something more precious than her own life at this moment.
"regret?"
Staring at the golden card blankly, Mengyao came back to her senses after a long time.
"Haha, is there anything in this world that I should regret?"
"No matter why you chose to help me, or what you took from me."
"I, Mengyao, will never regret what happened yesterday, let alone ask you for help."
"Because... you are the only person besides grandma who is willing to listen to my heart!"
