In the courtyard.

Lake sat in a chair with a glass of bourbon on his back, watching the snowflakes falling from the sky.

That's right.

Christmas, Christmas, there is no Santa Claus anymore, and if there is not even snow, what else is there?

Skye, wearing a white down jacket and an eddy hat, pushed the door and walked out.

Lake turned his head.

"Hi."

"Hi."

Skye sat on the chair next to her, looking at Lake, as if thinking about something, and after a while, she said, "It seems that you have never mentioned to me that you have been adopted."

Lake frowned and looked at Skye: "No?"

There should be.

Lake remembers that when he asked Skye why she didn't go to a foster home in the hospital, he seemed to mention that he resonated with Skye.

Skye shook her head: "No, you don't."

Lake shrugged: "Well, now you know, how."

“…what is it?”

"Do you feel very glad that I met me?"

"If you mean the glory is that I met you with appendicitis for the first time, and the second time I met you with a craniotomy, if that's the case, I'm really glad."

“…”

Lake laughed and shook his head.

This is probably the most profound memory of the two. After all, meeting once was an accident. If you meet twice in a row, you will have to lie in the hospital bed. Wow, this is no longer something that can be described as an accident.

Skye clapped his hands and looked at Lake: "So, can you tell your story?"

Lake looked at Skye: "The story is the same as you, at most, I am so lucky than you."

There is nothing to tell about that story.

But Skye is willing to listen, and Lake thinks it doesn't matter to tell. His story is not a movie, there are no exciting points, no ups and downs at all.

The story is very simple.

Lake was already three years old when he woke up his memory. He was at a rescue center in Washington, DC. Maybe because he was a little too dementia before he woke up, no foster family was willing to adopt him.

Then, Lake stayed at the rescue center until she was five years old. One day, Karen and Thaddeus came over, hoping to adopt a child from that rescue center.

The social atmosphere at that time was different from the current exaggerated atmosphere. To put it simply, the Federation was in the golden age at that time, and it was not like many low-level garbage white people who liked to adopt children and cheated of relief funds.

The foster care families at that time were undoubtedly paradise for the children in the rescue center.

so……

At that time, the children from the rescue center where Lake was laughing and ran to the conference room, looking at Karen and Thaddeus inside, hoping to choose themselves as if they were choosing numbers.

Lake didn't go at that time.

He had Su Hui, and inexplicably recognized his parents, which felt very strange. So when everyone ran to the conference room, Lake went to the library to continue to recognize ABCDE.

Skye blinked when she heard this: "Then why would you..."

Lake shrugged: "Karen was looking for the bathroom and found the library."

At that time, while Lake was looking at the book with pictures and texts in the library, Karen appeared behind him at some point.

After Lake came to his senses, he pointed at himself and said, "He is not a product, and the ones that can be sold are waiting for you to choose from at the door of the conference room."

Think about it afterwards.

Lake felt that it might be because of this sentence that Karen had kidnapped him back home.

But at that time, Karen was just stunned by this sentence, and then told Lake that she was looking for the bathroom. Lake said oh and led Karen to the bathroom.

Three days later.

The Children's Department informed Lake that he would clean up and prepare to go to his new home.

Lake turned his head to look at Skye: "That's it, I'll come to Karen's house."

Skye blinked: "I think it must be the non-sale product saying that touched Karen."

Lake smiled and said, "You are not a seller, aren't you?"

A smile appeared on Skye's face.

Lake touched his chin: "But... Speaking of this, in fact, Thaddeus wanted to adopt a friend of mine at that time."

Skye was stunned.

Lake recalled and shook her head: "However, I had looked for her at that time. If this is the case, I will definitely not leave. Even if I want to leave, I will take her with me, but she denied it at that time."

"Then what?"

"Not after that."

Lake came back to his senses: "It was probably on the tenth day that I persuaded Karen to go to the ambulance center again, but by that time, she had been adopted."

"she?"

"right."

Lake smiled, looked at Skye, and the corner of her mouth was arced: "Speaking of it, she and I both gave each other their first kiss."

Skye made a disgusting expression: "Hey hey hey, I'm only thirteen."

He lost his first kiss at the age of five.

Have I entered the wolf's den?

A picture suddenly appeared in Skye's mind. She was a little white rabbit eating grass leisurely. Then, the picture turned and she fell into the wolf's den.

Isn't this guy trying to play with some godfather?

This is for a sentence.

Skye looked at Lake with a look of horror in her eyes.

"Bang!"

"Ao!"

Skye covered his head: "It hurts, is this corporal punishment?"

Lake held the badge around his waist in his hand and shook it: "Go and call the police."

“…”

Skye rubbed his head angrily, and changed the subject: "So, is the girl in the rescue center your first love?"

Lake nodded: "Yes, don't tell Karen."

Skye smiled treacherously and looked at Lake: "Then tell me, do you still remember the name of that girl?"

Lake looked up at the heavy snow falling in his eyes.

He remembered that the girl's name was related to snow. After all, their first kiss was not there when they were four years old when they were snowing, and Lake also wrote a poem at that time.

Today I think about it, the snowy night is flying.

"Seff!"

"What?"

Lake looked at Skye, thinking about the clearer and clearer picture under the memory, and said with a smile: "Her name, Sever!"

Skye muttered twice, then looked up at Lake: "Do you have no last name?"

Said.

Skye seemed to think of something and made a sorry gesture to Lake.

What surnames can a group of orphans have? Although many of the orphans know the surnames of their biological mothers, some of them do not know the names of their biological parents.

For example, Skye.

Skye thought that Sever should be the same as hers.

"Didn't you think about finding her?"

"Finished."

Lake said in a faint tone: "I searched for three years, but I couldn't find it, so I didn't find it."

Skye tilted her head: "She was adopted, maybe, she changed her name and surname."

Lake shook her head: "Maybe, but she probably won't change her name."

"Why?"
