At dawn, on the beach, a tiny figure sat atop a rock, gazing into the depths of the ocean. At this time of year, the weather was already cold, and the wind over the sea was strong—too much for adults to bear, let alone a child.
Auntie Xiao Mo hadn't slept all night. She had risen early, wanting to clear her mind with a walk on the beach, but she hadn't expected to see someone up earlier than she was.
"Kimi..."
The waves were too loud, and after calling out three times, Kimi still hadn't heard her. Auntie Xiao Mo simply climbed onto the rock herself and sat down next to Kimi. When he turned his face towards her, his eyes bore a touch of melancholy and maturity that seemed beyond his years.
"Kimi, what's wrong? It's very dangerous for you to be out here alone so early in the morning!"
"Auntie Xiao Mo, I'm feeling troubled!"
"Oh, what's bothering you? Tell Auntie Xiao Mo, and I'll help you solve it, okay?"
