The boy paused, then spoke in a muted tone. "I saw him in my dreams when I fell asleep at night. He was standing alone, covered in wounds."
"Gong Fan?"
"Well, back then, he didn't have a name. He didn't seem to notice me, but I could see him, standing in the dark world, there was loneliness in his eyes." The boy continued, "He has no friends."
Alice continued to fix her gaze on him. "Have you ever thought of being friends with him?" she asked suddenly, gently.
"No." The boy frowned uneasily. "I'm afraid he'll fight me for it."
"Fight you for what?"
"Mommy…" The boy gradually looked tired. "I have nothing but Mommy. I don't have any friends or any family. I only have Mommy. What if he tries to take her from me?"
"So, at that time …"
"I wanted him to die." His tone was suddenly icy. "I was hoping that he would never come into my world again."
Frowning, Alice turned to Yun Shishi, who was holding back her tears.
