"Xiao Le, would you like to go home with Auntie?"
"What?"
Just when Lin Le felt like he was about to die of embarrassment and anger, Ye Yin suddenly spoke up and asked him. Lin Le was shocked, staring blankly at Ye Yin, as if he were a child who had brought home a failing exam paper and miraculously wasn't punished by their parents. Incredibly, at the same time as being unable to believe it, he also couldn't understand why he wasn't being beaten.
In Lin Le's mind, he thought, "He wants me to go home with him? Is he asking me to live with them, or just to visit? These two meanings are different."
Lin Yue's conflicted expression made Ye Yin and Ou Zetai feel heartbroken.
"Could you please take the child out first? My wife and I would like to talk to you about this matter," Ou Ze spoke up as Lin Le was led away".
As Lin Le watched the door close, he looked up and said to Grandma, "Grandma, why can't I listen?"
"Because Xiaole doesn't understand," Auntie said, "Mrs. Ye is your mother's good friend, and she wants to adopt you."
"Then what about my mom? Haven't you been saying that you're looking for her?" Lin Le feigned a childlike and innocent tone as he asked, feeling deep down that either his mom truly didn't want him anymore or that she had passed away. Lin Le would rather believe it was the latter case.
Auntie should be very skilled at handling these issues. As the child grows up, they face these questions every day, like "Why don't we have a mom and dad?" and "Why are we in an orphanage instead of at home?"
"Xiao Le, you saw it just now too. Aunt Ye is beautiful, and Uncle Ou is also very kind. If you go to their house, they will treat you as their own child. It's better than being in an orphanage."
"What about my other family members?"
Lin Le still had a heap of questions, such as "What if they adopt me for a while and then don't want me anymore?" "What if they mistreat me when I get home?" "What if they are not really Mom's friends?"
These questions made him panic. After all, he had just started to adapt to life in the orphanage, and now a couple wanted to adopt him. Putting aside other concerns, the idea of going to a new environment, coupled with memories from his previous life, made Lin Le feel like a drifting duckweed, floating aimlessly, with nowhere feeling like home.
No one will accompany me, no relatives. When I am sad, no one comforts me. When I am happy, no one shares it with me. When I am being bullied, no one stands up for me. Even worse, I could quietly leave this world at any time.
Duo Duo...
Lin Le was overthinking things.
Although Duo Duo is just a dog, it finds so much joy in its own life.
Lin Le once again felt heartache for the fate of this child, and also felt uneasy about his own future. Since being reborn, he had never relaxed his mind, and today's events, coupled with everything else, left him unable to pretend to be calm anymore.
Lin Lexin's heart tightened, and Auntie saw his lips turning purple and his face pale. She exclaimed in surprise and quickly took out medicine from her pocket while calling for the people inside the house.
Ye Yin and Ou Ze came out of the house when they heard the commotion, but they didn't know where to start when they saw Lin Le's distressed appearance. Although they were aware of Xiaole's situation, seeing it with their own eyes brought about a different feeling.
Fortunately, Lin Le quickly recovered after taking the medication. When Lin Le's lips returned to their normal color and his face regained some color, Ye Yin and Ou Ze also expressed their hope to complete the adoption procedures as soon as possible and bring Lin Le back home to arrange for him to receive medical treatment at the hospital.
Lin Le was being held in Ou Ze's arms. Although the man's posture was a bit awkward, he still felt the other's cautiousness. Ye Yin held Lin Le's hand, just moments ago it was icy cold and trembling, but now it had warmed up.
Maybe, this time I'll be happy.
If rebirth represents a new beginning, does that mean there is a chance for happiness for oneself as well?

Xiao Le: Are you really that gullible or just plain stupid?
Set sail: Haha. (We'll settle the accounts together from now on)
