"What’s your name?" Seeing the heartfelt smiles on these children’s faces, Xue An’s mood also brightened, and he asked with a light laugh.

The little girl shook her head. "I don’t have a name, my mother calls me Rui’er!"

"Rui’er..."

The little girl nodded, "Mmm, big brother, thank you for the candies you gave us, they’re the tastiest thing we’ve ever eaten!"

Xue An smiled, then bent down and pointed to a small basket set aside, "You exchanged these candies with this, so no need to say thank you! And..."

Xue An said with a smile: "We are friends now, so there’s even less need to say thanks!"

"Friends..." Xiao Rui murmured softly, then eagerly nodded her head, "Mmm!"

Just then, a commotion was heard outside the courtyard, and then a crowd of people burst in.

Leading them was the youth Xing Yushu, followed by a group of villagers.

These people came in angrily, their faces full of rage, originally intending to lash out.

But when they saw the group of children in the yard, indulging in the taste of candy, they couldn’t help but stand frozen in place.

Xiao Rui also saw the newcomers and couldn’t help but cry out.

"Mother, why are you here?"

The middle-aged woman in the crowd, dressed in tattered clothes, was Xiao Rui’s mother. Relieved to see her daughter safe and sound, she let out a sigh of relief, but when she heard her daughter’s question,

A look of shame appeared on the middle-aged woman’s face and without explanation, she yanked Xiao Rui’s arm and started to leave.

Xiao Rui didn’t dare to resist, and could only turn her head and shout with a young voice, "Goodbye, big brother!"

Xue An nodded with a smile, "Goodbye!"

Then, the people who had burst in led their children away one by one.

In an instant, the previously lively courtyard became quiet, leaving only Xue An and Xing Yushu.

Xue An stood on the stairs, quietly observing Xing Yushu, and smiled slightly. "Would you like to come in and sit?"

Xing Yushu’s expression was already uncertain, and it darkened even further when he heard Xue An’s invitation, he said coldly, "No need!"

Then, he glanced at the few candy wrappers left on the ground, his gaze briefly lingering before he took a deep breath and said slowly, "Did you give them the sugar?"

Xue An nodded, "Yes! To be precise, it’s not a giveaway, but an exchange!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

He said, pointing to the small basket filled with dry cakes and steamed buns.

Xing Yushu’s face showed an odd expression, he looked deeply at Xue An, then with a slightly mocking tone, said,

"Do you think you’re being very noble doing this?"

Xue An raised his eyebrows slightly, "Hmm?"

Xing Yushu continued, "Whether you gave it or exchanged for it! But once these children have tasted the sweetness of sugar, how will they face their bleak and painful lives after this? Have you ever thought about that?"

Saying that, Xing Yushu looked coldly at Xue An, his tone scornful, "Of course, you wouldn’t think about that, because you’re just passing by, then showing a bit of kindness, and in a few days after you leave, you won’t even remember what happened here! Am I right?"

In the face of such "aggressive" words from Xing Yushu, Xue An didn’t get angry; instead, he laughed, then looked with interest at this young man who seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life despite his young age.

"From what you’re saying, it seems I shouldn’t have given them sugar?"

"Of course!"

Xue An nodded, then suddenly said: "But have you considered that no matter how bleak and sad life is, there needs to be some hope, right? Otherwise, isn’t that truly a path toward despair and death?"
