"Hua Hua, my childhood sweetheart isn’t soone else, that little sister, it’s you!"
"Do you have no recollection of this little alley at all?"
"Do you also not rember that there was once a Brother Ling in your life?"
"That Brother Ling who was your companion for life, you grew up together, faced family upheavals together, struggled to survive under human traffickers together, tried to escape together... Do you have not even a flicker of mory about these things?"
"I know you were very young back then, only three years old when the family disaster struck, only three or four when we were begging in City T for those two years, and only five the year we lost each other. Yes, we were both very small, small enough to possibly not rember clearly, but is there not even a vague shadow?"
Hua Hua looked at Ling Yin, eyes filled with disbelief, wide-eyed.
He saw Ling Yin’s mouth opening and closing, eyes brimming with anticipation.
In shock and bewildernt, he stared back at Ling Yin, his mind full of question marks.
Finally, he pushed him away hard and shouted angrily, "What nonsense and absurd words are you saying?"
"I don’t understand a word, no mory of it at all, OK?" Hua Hua stepped back two paces, heart inexplicably aching, as if countless tiny webs were wrapping around his heart, tighter and tighter, making it hard to breathe.
His head was burning hot, and he couldn’t help but step back two more paces, laughing wildly twice, saying, "I really think you take for a fool, making up any lie you can, and now I’m your sister? Keep making things up, keep going, let’s see what more absurd and laughable things you can co up with!"
Ling Yin looked at Hua Hua, trying hard to suppress his churning emotions.
"Little Chu, I’m not making it up, you are my long-lost Little Chu!"
"When we were little, your dad always raised you as a girl, and you were dressed in girls’ clothes, so I always thought you were a girl, and for all these years I continued to think you were a girl until we t again. I seriously investigated, compared, and then I realized you were actually a boy, otherwise I might have found you long ago!"
"Rember the year we parted, I was only a seven-year-old boy, and you had just turned five. I still rember that birthday, no cake, no candles, not even a full al. Actually, your birthday isn’t October 30th; your real birthday is May 21st. And your na isn’t Hua Chu, it’s Yuan Chu, but I liked calling you Little Chu."
"Enough!" Hua Hua interrupted him hysterically, eyes coldly staring at Ling Yin. "I won’t believe any of your crap, liar!"
Hua Hua forcefully shoved Ling Yin, turned around, and ran out of the alley in large strides.
"Little Chu!" Ling Yin chased after him.
Hua Hua ran even faster, Ling Yin stretched out his arm, trying to grab him several tis, and finally caught his right arm at the very mont he was about to run out of the alley.
With a strong pull, Hua Hua lifted his leg and kicked him, shouting angrily, "Ling Yin, I’m warning you, don’t pester ! I am not the childhood sweetheart, nor the Little Chu girl you talk about, I’m called Hua Chu, not Yuan Chu, rember that!"
"Hua Hua, you are Little Chu."
"No!!!!" Hua Hua’s emotions were extrely intense, "No, no, my na is Hua Chu, a na I gave myself; originally, I nad myself Hua Hua, but my brother added a Chu to it, that’s why it’s Hua Chu. Go ask my brother if you don’t believe —it’s got nothing to do with this Little Chu you’re talking about!"
