golden sun set in the west, setting a golden edge on the distant mountains and the sky.

Huang Ying sat quietly at the window, watching the light quietly fade.

She remembered that when she was a child in the orphanage, every evening when the sun set, she, Song Yichen and Song Qingfeng would climb over the wall to the small courtyard next door.

There was a child about their age in that courtyard, five or six years old, who was very naughty. He didn't do his homework every day, and he also watched TV and ate snacks secretly.

When his parents came back, they would teach him a lesson, sometimes punishing him to stand in the corner, and sometimes slapping his butt.

At this time, Huang Ying couldn't help but say, "I have finished all the homework assigned by the teacher!"

Song Yichen would also agree, "I didn't watch TV secretly, nor did I eat snacks secretly!"

- Snacks are not always available in the orphanage.

In the end, Song Qingfeng would summarize: "We all behaved very well... much better than this child!"

But no matter how well-behaved and sensible they are, they are abandoned children after all. While other children are still worried about why their parents always restrict themselves and don't let them watch TV or eat snacks, they can only sit alone on the small bench in the orphanage, waiting for the staff to distribute meals. Or they climb over the wall to the small courtyard and look at the children with parents with envy.

It feels so good to have a father and a mother, just like having roots. No matter where you go in the future, you will always have a home to return to.

But Huang Ying and his friends have no home.

The orphanage is not their home. The director adopted the children just to defraud the donations from kind-hearted people, under the pretext of giving the orphans a better growth environment, but the money eventually went into the director's pocket.

When Huang Ying was 12 years old, another great philanthropist came to do charity. Huang Ying heard that this man's surname was Lu, and he was the top rich man in Hai City. He brought his own children to support the orphanage.

It is said that this rich man is very rich and will donate a lot of money. The director used this to fool them, so that everyone would behave well, get more money, and everyone's life would get better.

But Huang Ying knew that the director was lying.

That day, when she and Song Yichen and Song Qingfeng were climbing the wall, they heard that the director had booked a flight ticket to go abroad. He planned to take the money overseas after receiving the donation from the rich man Lu, and would not care about these orphans anymore.

"They are all burdens. I thought I could make some money with them, but I didn't expect that these rich people are more stingy than each other!"

The director said angrily on the phone, "This time I finally met a sucker. Let's use these children to make another fortune. When the money arrives, we will go abroad!"

"What should we do with those children?" The person on the other end of the phone asked.

"What are you afraid of? When the gate is closed, none of them can escape. In two days, the delivery people will come and know that we have left. But by then, it will be useless for them to call the police. Anyway, we have all escaped, hahahaha~"

The delivery people from the orphanage come once every three days.

In other words, the director wants to starve them to death, for three days.
