Chapter 1: An Identity That Cannot Adapt

When Yu Mu woke up, she felt something was wrong. In the darkness, something wet was sucking her fingers. The air was filled with the scent of milk, which inexplicably made her feel at ease.

This relieved some of her anxiety.

I failed the most recent subject.

She felt extremely stressed. She hadn't slept well for several days. She had been studying all night yesterday, which made it even harder for her to get enough rest. Yu Mu wanted to go on strike, but it was just a thought. She had to pass the make-up exam, otherwise the consequences would be dire.

"Woo wow."

As I was thinking about it, the force of sucking on my fingers began to increase and it started to hurt.

Only then did Yu Mu remember that something was wrong.

She didn't have a cat or a dog at home, so how could something suddenly suck her hand? Although she was puzzled, she didn't panic. A strange sense of warmth made her realize that she was safe and there was no need to worry.

but……

What on earth was sucking her finger?

Click.

When Yu Mu turned on the light, he saw a chubby little baby lying on the bed with his big wet eyes open. As if he couldn't adapt to the sudden bright light, he couldn't help but frown and close his eyes, but soon opened them again.

At this time, the baby had not let go of her hand and was sucking her fingers, "eating" them sweetly.

"Oh my god, where did the baby come from?"

Yu Mu was directly frightened.

Without taking a closer look at the baby, she pulled her fingers out of the baby's mouth, jumped off the bed, and rushed out of the house. She wanted to ask her mother what was going on and why she stuffed a child into her room without her consent!

With her departure, the baby lost its sweet toy and started crying loudly.

Yu Mu didn't care about these things and rushed out of the door and was stunned.

She saw a mess outside the door, all kinds of garbage filled the corridor, and moss grew on the broken walls. When she raised her eyes, she saw a frog jumping out from the gap in the wall not far away and then jumping into the hole next to it.

What the hell is this place?

It's not her home anymore!

This realization made her feel at a loss. She looked back into the house and saw that it was bare. Among the old and dilapidated furniture, the legs of the wooden bed she had just slept on were rotten and uneven in thickness. The only wooden table in the middle of the room was missing a leg and was supported by something made of unknown material. It looked shaky and could fall down at any time.

The baby is still crying.

Oh my god!

Yu Mu held her head up, thinking that this must be a joke someone played on her, to punish her for the decline in her grades during this period. They deliberately threw her into a poor place so that she would recall the good times and work hard to make progress.

right!

It must be like this!

Thinking this, Yu Mu prepared to close the door and go back to find his phone to call his roommate to ask about the situation.

"Hey, can you please keep your child in check? He's nagging us in the middle of the night. How are we supposed to complete our mission tomorrow?"

at this time.

The door next to her was opened, and a woman with messy hair came out and spoke to her in an impatient tone.

"I'm not her mother."

Yu Mu was worried, but he didn't have the patience to coax the child, so he said it immediately.

"What did you say?"

The woman's tone turned harsh. She raised her head and shook off her messy bangs, revealing a sharp face. Her eyes were light blue, and her face was neat and clean. She looked at Yu Mu angrily and said, "You want to quarrel, right? That baby is not your child, whose child is it?"

"How would I know?"

Overwhelmed by her aura, Yu Mu's voice weakened and he spoke in a low voice.

"I have a mission tomorrow. Tonight, you must make sure the child doesn't disturb me, otherwise I will complain to you."

The woman said that and slammed the door.

Yu Mu had a vague feeling that complaining should be a serious matter.

"Hey, little girl, you want to die, right? Take care of your child."

Just as the woman entered the house, another door opened not far away, and a man in his forties shouted at Yu Mu.

The man was only wearing a sweatshirt, revealing his sturdy arms. His dark face was covered by a thick beard. His voice was rough and sounded aggressive.

"Okay, I understand."

Yu Mu answered and immediately closed the door.

She has provoked public outrage, and no matter how right she is, she can't explain herself. Besides, these neighbors are so fierce!

No matter what, let’s coax that strange baby first.

What puzzled her was that she was clearly not an adult, only 18 years old, still a student, and had a natural baby face. Why did these people say that she was a mother? Didn't she have eyes?

ridiculous!

Yu Mu complained inwardly, went to the bedside and looked at the baby crying loudly, worrying about how to stop her from crying.

Well, should I continue sucking her fingers?

She stretched out her index finger and saw a red mark on it from being sucked.

"whee."

At this time, the baby stopped crying and began to smile at her, with tears on his face and two little white teeth showing.

"Um."

Yu Mu blinked twice and looked at the baby in surprise, feeling that the baby was not so annoying at this time.

"What are you going to do?"

"Where's your mother?"

Yu Mu asked her.

“Ah, ah…”

The baby waved his two chubby hands happily and answered her, but unfortunately Yu Mu didn't understand what she was saying.

"What should I do?"

Yu Mu sighed and looked around, trying to find some clues to see where the child's mother was.

"Hmm, wow."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, the baby started crying.

"Ah, little ancestor."

Seeing this, Yu Mu immediately jumped onto the bed and hugged her, saying, "Please don't cry, I can't bear it."

The baby didn't cry in the end when she held him. He just hummed and burrowed into her arms. She didn't know what she wanted to do, but as long as he didn't cry, it was fine.

Yu Mu felt relieved, held the baby in his arms, and began to wander around the room, taking the opportunity to look for his cell phone.

There were only a few pieces of cloth on the headboard, but I had no idea what they were for. On the broken table in the middle was a cup, a milk bottle, and a kettle. Not far away, on the ground, was a basket with some things in it.

Yu Mu looked around but couldn't find the phone.

"Ahhh, ahhh."

The little baby suddenly pointed at the bottle on the table and cried.

Maybe he's hungry, Yu Mu guessed. There was still a full bottle of milk in the bottle, so she handed it to the baby. The little baby held the bottle tightly and wouldn't let go, gulping down the milk quickly and sweetly.

It seems that he is hungry!

Yu Mu was curious and saw that the baby quickly drank up the whole bottle of milk. Finally, she burped, smiled at Yu Mu, closed her eyes and fell asleep on Yu Mu's shoulder.

"Looks like he's well taken care of!"

Yu Mu was very pleased. He put the baby on the bed and felt very powerful.

After putting the baby down, she started looking for her cell phone in other places in the house. She happened to walk into the bathroom. It was very small, but it had everything she needed. In the small mirror, Yu Mu saw herself in the mirror. She had long yellow hair, a haggard face, and dark circles under her eyes.
