“I just asked your name, no need to be so serious!” Yue Xiye helplessly pulled out a tissue.
“You’re such a good person!” Yu Yelan tried to wipe the “ugly” traces from her face, “My name is Yu Yelan. Dad always called me little Lan.”
I’ll be seventeen in October. I have no home, no relatives, but now I know you, and you’re a good person who will help me, right?”
Looking at the girl’s innocent smile, Yue Xiye was speechless. “I’m Yue Xiye, nineteen, studying at Liufeng High School. I’ll be a senior this year. I don’t have much time to take care of you. You’ll need to learn to take care of yourself!”
“Thank you, big brother Yue!” Yu Yelan finally felt relieved, her smile blooming, tears still hanging on her cheeks. “Thank you. Little Lan will be the most obedient child!”
“Okay, I’ll go organize the room. You can stay. There’s food in the refrigerator you can eat.” Yue Xiye looked at the hand gripping his clothes, signaling her to let go, and stood up resignedly to become the little girl’s caretaker. Seventeen years old, looking not even sixteen, thin and seemingly abused, always hanging her head and constantly apologizing!
Ugh—” Yue Xiye groaned, patting his forehead as he sat down after tidying half the room. What madness had gotten into him? He was exhausted from working all day, yet here he was helping a little girl clean up her room. And despite looking skinny, she was a big eater who devoured two people’s worth of food, completely emptying his refrigerator!
Good heavens! He had picked up such a big trouble. If Qin Poxiao found out about this, who knows what kind of storm he would stir up!
Could he send her away now before it was too late?
Yu Yelan was curled up on the sofa, biting into bread from the refrigerator. She didn’t notice that the bread was nearly expired and was eating happily. Meeting Brother Yue, such a kind person, was truly a lucky thing.
Yue Xiye looked at the guilty Yu Yelan, knowing there must be more to the story.
