Chapter 54
The moment she entered the cafeteria, the little kid in her arms obviously breathed a sigh of relief. After struggling to climb down from her arms, he hid under the table and glared at her fiercely.
The moment it left, the chill that lingered around me also dissipated a lot.
Yunmian stood there blankly for a few seconds. She did not touch the little ghost again. Instead, she walked to the aunt who was serving the food and looked up at her as she scooped some leftover rice and vegetables into a small bowl for her.
Many children had finished their meal, and she was the last one to arrive.
Yun Mian tiptoed to take the small bowl, then walked to the table where the little ghost was hiding and sat down.
She scooped up a piece of tofu with a spoon and asked the little ghost who had just crawled out from under the table and secretly observed her, "Do you want to eat it?"
She held the spoon up to its mouth.
The kid opened his mouth subconsciously, but bit nothing.
Yunmian was stunned for a moment, then tried to put the spoon towards its mouth.
This time the little ghost didn't eat. He glared at her fiercely, turned and ran to the door, quickly chasing after Li Shuang's departing back.
But it could not touch the sun, as it would be burned if it did. It could only whimper and shrink back, staring at Li Shuang's back, tears of blood slowly flowing from its eyes.
The little ghost was full of viciousness, but he was caught off guard by being poked lightly by a finger.
Its body stiffened and it turned around and stared at Yunmian defensively.
Yunmian picked it up again, and brought it back to the dining table as easily as picking up a rag doll, placed it upright on the stool, and finally patted its head with satisfaction.
Little Ghost: “…”
system:"……"
Under the little ghost's stare, Yunmian slowly finished her lunch in small bites.
She had just come into this world and didn't know what the children in the orphanage needed to do. The little kid couldn't be exposed to the sun, so after thinking about it, she simply held the two-year-old kid in her arms and sat in the cafeteria, continuing to be in a daze.
The little ghost was imprisoned in her arms. He couldn't run away, and his bite didn't hurt him. After a long time of torment, he was so angry that his whole body became more ferocious.
Yun Mian seemed unaware. She started coughing while sitting there, and then fell asleep on the dining table in a daze.
system:"……"
So who gave her the courage to embrace a ghost when she was obviously weak and sick? !
Even when he fell asleep, he still held the little ghost like a puppet and refused to let go. The little ghost was so angry that he puffed up his cheeks and kept biting Yunmian's wrist.
It's no use at all...
The system couldn't help but sigh. Just as it was about to wake up Yunmian and coax the little girl out to continue sleeping in the sun, a little girl stood timidly in the corner, staring at this side with wide eyes.
The system stopped and after scanning, recognized that the other person was the protagonist of this world, Yu Anan.
Yu Anan has the ability to see ghosts and can also see the little ghost in Yun Mian's arms.
Realizing this, the system suddenly gave up on waking Yunmian up and wanted to observe what the protagonist of this world would do after seeing the little ghost in Yunmian's arms.
Under the silent attention of the system, Yu Anan first took two steps forward tentatively. When the little ghost heard the noise and looked over fiercely, she hid back timidly like a rabbit.
I don’t know how long it took Yu Anan to prepare herself mentally before she took a deep breath and moved closer to Yun Mian.
The little ghost's eyes began to bleed, and he stared grimly at Yu Anan's every move.
Yu Anan was obviously frightened to the point of tears falling from her eyes, but she still pushed Yun Mian slightly with shaking hands.
Yunmian didn't wake up. The little ghost struggled for a while, and suddenly began to sob towards Yu Anan. Big scarlet tears fell on Yunmian, and disappeared in an instant.
Yu Anan was frightened so much that her whole body was shaking. She also shrank back while sobbing. Only the little hand that she had stretched out to poke Yun Mian remained strong and continued to poke her while shaking.
system:"……"
What kind of weird scene is this?
Fortunately, Yun Mian was finally awakened by the persistent protagonist, but the moment she opened her eyes, Yu Anan was frightened so much that she shrank into a ball.
Yunmian's eyes are black, pure black.
It was different from anyone Yu Anan had ever seen. It looked more like a ghost.
She stumbled back several steps, huddled into a small ball and looked at Yunmian in horror. Her tearful face looked particularly pitiful.
Yun Mian rubbed her eyes, looked down at the little kid in her arms who was shedding tears of blood, then looked at Yu Anan who was also shedding tears not far away. She was a little confused and didn't react to what was happening.
The system briefly told her Yu Anan's identity and what had just happened, and reminded her: "Mianmian, your health is not good. You can't keep in contact with ghosts, otherwise the yang energy in your body will be lost faster, and you may become more seriously ill."
Yun Mian, who was afraid of getting sick, did not let go of the little ghost immediately, but held it and walked towards Yu Anan step by step.
Yu Anan was so frightened by her that she didn't even dare to cry. She could only sob and shrink herself into a smaller size.
"Don't cry." Yun Mian looked down at her, thought for a moment, and reluctantly handed the little kid in his arms to her for comfort.
Yu Anan was so scared that she hiccupped, and finally couldn't hold back her fear anymore and burst into tears.
Yun Mian was a little dazed by her crying, and the little kid who was not taken away was frightened by the sudden loud crying and burrowed into her arms.
The crying broke the silence of the cafeteria and soon attracted the caregivers from the welfare home.
Yunmian and Yu Anan were quickly taken to a classroom. Yu Anan cried breathlessly, while Yunmian remained quiet.
Yu Anan has lived in an orphanage since she was a child, and Yunmian was just sent there two days ago. The caregiver was not very familiar with her, so she first helped Yu Anan wipe her tears and coaxed her to slowly stop crying before asking her why she was crying and whether she was bullied.
Yu Anan sobbed and looked at Yunmian with tears in her eyes.
Yunmian held the little ghost in her arms, rubbing its braids with her paws from time to time, with her head down and not participating in the communication between the two.
The nurse didn't get anything out of Yu An'an. Seeing that Yun Mian was also refusing to communicate, the nurse could only pat Yu An'an on the head and gently warned the two girls, "You can't quarrel or hit others. You have to behave yourself, okay?"
Yunmian hugged the little devil who pounced on the caregiver and bit him fiercely. Yu Anan shrank his shoulders and looked at Yunmian timidly, with awe in his eyes that he himself did not notice.
After the nurse left, Yu Anan sniffed, carefully moved closer, and asked softly, "Are you, aren't you afraid of it?"
She pointed at the bloody and hideous-looking little ghost in Yunmian's arms.
Yunmian was a little slow to react. She was stunned for two seconds after hearing this, and then asked back: "You don't like it?"
"……"like? ?
Yu Anan took a step back in fear, pursed her lips and looked at Yun Mian with tears in her eyes, already raising the level of danger she was in in her mind.
"It's very scary." Yu Anan answered with courage: "I saw it lying on Aunt Li's back before, biting Aunt Li's head, and kept biting... I secretly told Aunt Li about it, and she slapped my palm."
As she spoke, she clenched her right hand in grievance, obviously traumatized by the beating.
Yunmian blinked slowly and lowered her head. The little ghost was burying his head and chewing on her wrist as if it were a teething stick.
Yu Anan was frightened again, and asked her in a tearful and trembling voice if it hurt.
It doesn't hurt.
A little itchy.
Yun Mian thought about it, grabbed the little ghost’s pale hand, put it into her mouth, and bit it hard.
Little Ghost: “……?!”
system:"!!!"
Yu Anan: “Woo…”
The little ghost cried when he was bitten, and he covered his bitten hand and cried with blood and tears all over his face like a real two-year-old child.
Yu Anan was frightened and started crying. As soon as her tears started to fall, she was frightened by the crying of the little ghost and held them back. Her face was pale and she looked at Yun Mian with eyes that were more terrifying than looking at a ghost.
The system couldn't think of what to say for a long time. It remained silent and then quietly lit candles for the two little guys.
It's a bit miserable, and I can't tell who is more miserable between the little ghost and the protagonist, but after all, it won't be his own host.
Yunmian smacked her lips and then pouted.
Soft and not tasty.
“…Mianmian, hurry up and go out to bask in the sun!” The system finally found its own language system and said helplessly: “Do you know how much Yin Qi you consumed with this bite? Don’t be so willful just because you have merits and spiritual pupils that can contact ghost entities, kid, get rid of the ghosts quickly!”
Yunmian doesn't want to lose it.
The little ghost feels soft and cool when you hold it in your arms. It can move by itself and you can rub it from time to time. It is much more fun than those stiff and motionless rag dolls.
"You will get sick if you don't throw it away, do you know that? Maybe when your mother comes to find you, you will be so sick that you can't even get out of bed!" For the sake of the host's life, the system had to use its big move to threaten.
Although it was more than one headache, this world must be the most headache-inducing one among its three mission worlds.
This naughty kid is not easy to raise. Neither her autism nor her slowness can change the trouble-making and self-destructive factor in her soul!
Being threatened by the system uncle with her mother, Yun Mian thought about it, walked out with the little ghost in her arms, and then sat down on the ground.
She sat just right, with her upper body in the shadow and her lower body in the sun, and the little ghost was in her arms, not getting any light at all.
System: “…” It began to suspect that the host’s purpose was to anger it to death.
What's the difference between this and drinking wolfberry and staying up late, huh? !
Yun Mian did not hear the voice of the system uncle and thought that what she did was right, so she pursed the corners of her lips into a small arc and lowered her head to wipe the tears of the little ghost.
Yu Anan didn't dare sit with her. She just stood there and watched blankly. Her clear eyes were unconsciously filled with admiration for Yun Mian.
This kid is so amazing, he is not afraid of ghosts, dares to hug ghosts, and can even bite ghosts to make them cry!!
With this awe, Yu Anan rubbed against Yunmian and squatted next to her. She also found the right angle so that she and Yunmian had half of their bodies in the light and half in the shadow, evenly divided.
Although this new kid was holding a super scary little ghost in her arms, Yu Anan felt very safe staying with her!
"My name is Yu An'an." She mustered up the courage to say to Yun Mian, "Can I be your good friend?"
The little girl's eyes were big and bright, as if they had just been washed by tears, so they were extremely clear and clean, and her eyes were full of cautious anxiety and expectation.
When the little ghost heard the name, he stopped crying and continued to stare at her sinisterly with his head tilted.
Yun Mian blinked, then raised the little ghost's claws and waved at her.
Yu Anan's eyes lit up, and she was so happy that she was no longer afraid of the little ghost. She moved closer and asked her softly, "Do you agree to be my good friend? What's your name? You can call me Anan, and I can give you the candies I secretly hid!"
Yunmian tilted her head and slowly read out her name.
"Then can I call you Mianmian?" Yu Anan clenched her fingers nervously and said in a trembling voice, "Then, can we make a pinky promise? Whoever regrets it in the future will be a puppy."
She raised her little finger and waited for Yunmian anxiously and expectantly.
Yunmian hooked her finger, and the two children, witnessed by a little ghost, made a pinky promise and became good friends.
After making the promise of "Not changing for a hundred years, whoever changes is a puppy", Yu Anan's tense emotions relaxed visibly, and the smile on her little face became much more genuine and intimate.
"Mianmian, your hands are so cold, are you cold?"
She also talked a little more.
Yun Mian shook her head, curled her fingers gently, and covered her wrists with her sleeves, which made the little ghost so angry that he kept biting her fingers.
Yu Anan couldn't wait to talk about many things with her new friend. She moved a little closer to Yunmian and whispered, "Mianmian, let me tell you, in a few days new parents will come to take the children home. I will definitely be chosen this time. Do you want to go with me?"
She was adopted many times, but was quickly returned.
Although the director's mother would shake her head after she came back, Yu Anan was able to eat delicious food and wear beautiful clothes and shoes during the days she was adopted, so she especially hoped that she could be adopted, even if it was only for a few days.
"Dad, Mom?" Yun Mian caught the key words.
Yu Anan held her face with her hands and said softly, "Yes, some of those parents are very kind and gentle, while others are very fierce and scary. They will pick the one they like from among the children and take him away as their own baby."
Yunmian pondered this sentence blankly for a long time before saying, "But... I have a mother."
Yu Anan turned to look at her in surprise, and even the little kid in her arms looked up at her, all expressing their confusion with their eyes and expressions.
Yu Anan whispered, "Mianmian...the children in the welfare home don't have parents."
Yunmian hugged the little ghost tightly and said, "I have a mother."
"...But if you had a mother, why did you come to our welfare home?" Yu Anan whispered, exposing her words.
Yun Mian fell silent, and thought of the memory of the police sister covering her eyes and the strong smell of blood lingering in her nose.
There is still one chapter before two o'clock. It's a bit late today. I will try to update earlier tomorrow.
