Chapter 1 Prologue
Wedge
In the luxurious ballroom, guests were walking elegantly, a little girl was squeezed among the crowd, she raised her head, her big watery eyes helplessly looking at the surrounding people, where's mom? She didn't dare to speak, nobody noticed her, maybe because she was too small.
She weaved through the crowd, with everyone's face wearing a smile. The ladies smiled elegantly and graciously, with their demeanor impeccable. She suddenly grabbed onto a woman's dress, her small hands pulling the hem tightly.
The woman's smile gradually faded away, and she slightly furrowed her brow. "What is it?"
"Auntie, I want to find Mommy." The little girl looked at her timidly, her eyes sparkling.
"What's your mother's name?" The woman looked at the little girl with a glance, seeing that she was wearing quite expensive clothes, and continued to ask.
"I...I don't know." The little girl said fearfully.
"You don't know how to find your mom? Go, go play on the side, where did this wild kid come from?" The woman's attitude suddenly changed, her gaze turning from gentle to disgusted. Her good mood was ruined by this child. Coming to a dance party to find his mom? Isn't that ridiculous?
"Auntie, can you help me find Mommy?" The little girl pulled on the woman's skirt and wouldn't let go.
"Get out of my sight." The woman's face was ferocious as she pushed her, and the little girl fell to the ground.
"Waaahhh..." The little girl sobbed, her crying attracting everyone's attention. Many people looked over and whispered to each other, blaming the woman. The woman felt embarrassed and angrily stormed off.
The little girl sat on the ground and cried for a while, suddenly realizing that there was a strange face in front of her staring at herself. The boy's age was about the same as hers, only around five years old. "Don't cry, what's your name?" The boy's voice was soft and gentle.
"I... I'm called..." The little girl blinked her eyes and suddenly stared at the unknown flying object behind the little boy.
The little boy seemed to see the fear in the little girl's eyes, he suddenly turned his head, like a red wine glass, he quickly stood up. The little girl was so scared that she lowered her head, closed her eyes tightly, and her feet felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, unable to lift them up at that moment. Just when the 'unidentified flying object' was falling down at a speed of 50 meters per second, time seemed to stand still, and the wine glass miraculously stopped in mid-air. Immediately afterwards, a pair of small hands tightly grasped the little girl's soft hand, and the little girl only felt her body being pulled by an inexplicable force.
"Bang." The wine glass shattered on the ground, and the crisp sound instantly awakened the little girl. At this time, she felt warmth in her palms, and with sparkling eyes, she saw an angelic face smiling at her, a warm and simple smile...
The light shone through the little boy's face, like scattered gold on his face. The little girl clearly saw the dust in the air dancing under the lamp, and his warm smile made her feel even more at ease. A kind of inexplicable sense of security also made her laugh unconsciously...
Suddenly, a beautiful waltz echoed around, the symphony orchestra was already ready, with the cello slowly entering, each musician played their violin, and everyone danced. The little girl looked at the little boy, his eyes had a few points of expectation, his warm and jade-like face hung with a shallow smile, the two silently looked at each other, having a feeling of being old friends at first sight.
