It took him several days to digest the fact that he had been reborn. At first, he even felt like he was already dead and simply living in another illusionary world similar to Earth. However, later on, he realized he was thinking too much.
I'm still on Earth, just not in the place where I used to live. And now, it has been half a month since my death.
With a blink of his eyes, half a month had passed. Where did all the lost time go? He didn't want to know. His heart was too weak to withstand any stimulation. He had to adapt to the fact of being reborn and even more so to the life of a child.
According to the rules of the welfare home, everyone must take an afternoon nap. However, Lin Le refused to do so. He moved a small stool and sat in the courtyard, propping his chin up with his two hands, watching the ants crawl back and forth on the ground. The elderly lady nearby shook her head as she watched him, thinking that this child was not very sociable and had a somewhat introverted personality.
After being reborn as a child, Lin Le checked his body. Fortunately, besides having a slightly weak heart, there were no other health issues. He also looked in the mirror and saw that he was thin but not ugly. However, he had the appearance of someone who didn't grow well due to long-term malnutrition. He couldn't help but feel a slight sense of disdain since his face used to be quite good before...
But since he had been given a chance to start over, he shouldn't worry about these details. Moreover, he remembered the old man saying that when he was young, he was very good-looking, but as he grew up, he became less attractive.
Looking at those disabled infants, Lin Le felt extremely fortunate that his body was intact. After all, he was accustomed to occasional discomfort in his heart. This minor ailment had become a part of his body and was nothing significant to him.
The child's nickname is the same as his original one, both called Xiao Le. According to Mrs. Da's words, he was sent here by his mother half a year ago. His mother used to come and visit him, bringing medicine for him. However, she hasn't shown up in the past two months. Lin Le didn't feel too sad about it, as he had already gotten used to it in his previous life. However, he felt sorry for this child. He had an old person who had always taken care of him until he grew up. This child is only five years old now.
Thinking about how the child disappeared in the middle of the night, Lin Le felt a pang of sadness.
Xiao Le, go to sleep and behave.
Lin Le looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "I'm not tired."
How can you grow taller if you don't sleep?
"Slowly, he grew taller..."
"Boys need to be taller for girls to like them. Little Yue, be good and you'll grow to be two meters tall after a good night's sleep."
……
"Xiaole, you should be a little happier."
"But I can't be happy..." Lin Le spoke the truth, although he had been given a chance to start anew, he truly didn't know what to do in his current state. His voice came out weakly, so Lin Le decided to stay silent.
"We are also helping you look for your mother, don't worry."
Lin Le raised his head and glanced at the old lady. After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Call me grandma."
"...Grandmother."
After the children woke up in the afternoon, each of them was given a yogurt. It was donated by someone yesterday, and they received several large boxes of them. The kids were all very happy, and Lin Le also got one.
If the orphanage were to provide yogurt for the children every day, it would be a significant expense. Therefore, the supply of yogurt at the orphanage is intermittent, not available every day. This time, someone donated yogurt, and the children were delighted to drink it for several consecutive days.
So the children were happily drinking yogurt, Lin Le biting on the straw as he watched everyone. He thought to himself, children are really easily satisfied.
After finishing the yogurt, some people took the children to play games in the yard. Lin Le didn't join them because he needed to take medicine. Most people take medicine for their whole lives, but Lin Le will take it for two lifetimes. This is something that ordinary people will never encounter.
So when he took a sip of the oral solution, his mind was thinking: by gathering the circumstances of two lifetimes, would he be able to obtain a healthy heart?
He touched his slightly chaotic heart that had just been beating rapidly. Sighing, he didn't possess any of those reincarnation skills, spatial abilities, or the miraculous healing powers commonly found in novels. Therefore, he was just a young kid with the soul of a twenty-one-year-old.
However, Lin Le watched the little sparrow hopping around on the ground in search of food. He may be unfortunate himself, but he could live well on behalf of Xiao Le. Living, how simple and blissful it is.
Do you know Aunt Ye, Xiaole?" another caretaker from the welfare home asked him.
Lin Le's heart nearly skipped a beat again. He didn't know anyone, let alone anyone surnamed Ye. But he was also afraid of giving himself away. What if it was discovered that he was not who he claimed to be? Luckily, he was just a child, so he should be able to fool them easily.
"I... I can't remember."
"Tomorrow, that auntie is coming to see you. Take a look and see if you remember her."
"Okay." Lin Le obediently nodded.
I'm sorry, but without any text provided in Chinese to translate, I am unable to assist you. Could you please provide the Chinese novel paragraph that you would like me to translate into English?
"Xiao Le, there will be an aunt coming to see you tomorrow, so you need to behave."
"Will there be an older brother?"
"I can't do it for the time being."
"Great."
"Do you not like your older brother?"
"...Hehe." I refuse to answer that question.
