Hospital examination, police records, psychological evaluation...
After completing a series of processes, it was already late at night.
Because Sui Sui showed a strong dependence on Wen Chi, at the suggestion of a child psychologist, the police finally agreed to let Wen Chi take Sui Sui with him temporarily.
Sui Sui was so sleepy at this time that she had already fallen asleep in Wen Chi's arms.
With her brother around, she slept soundly.
I wasn't worried about waking up in some strange place.
This shows her 100% trust in Wen Chi.
but.
For Wen Chi, where to take Suisui became an important issue.
A hotel? That doesn't seem appropriate.
Go back to my father's house? Never mind. They always quarrel when they meet. It's not good to see each other every year.
Go to grandpa and grandma's place? I heard that my second sister lives there recently, and grandpa and grandma are there too. When they see Sui Sui, they will definitely ask about it. How should he deal with it?
For a moment, Wen Chi was in a dilemma.
In the end, I began to regret my decision to not have a fixed residence and to live in a hotel for a long time.
So now I am like a stray dog, homeless and suffering for years.
Chu Yan: "Come to my place."
Wen Chi then remembered that he had an older brother by his side.
"Where do you live?"
Chu Yan fell silent.
After a long time, he finally uttered:
"I've been living alone for a long time now, and it seems like there's still a lack of understanding between us brothers."
Wen Chi coughed awkwardly.
Then the final word:
"Okay! Let's go to your house, big brother!"
There is no better choice!
Chu Yan calmed down, remembered something, and nodded:
"That's right, there's something I want to talk to you about."
Wen Chi didn't understand what was going on, so he nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, he carried Sui Sui in his arms, got into his eldest brother’s car, and came to Chu Yan’s large flat in a bustling area.
Before coming over, Chu Yan temporarily instructed his assistant to prepare new clothes for Suisui, as well as children's toiletries, etc.
Even though Sui Sui has fallen asleep, it is not needed for the time being.
There will always be a time when it is useful.
As for Wen Chi...
Just wear his old clothes, no need to be so particular.
The quilt covers in the guest rooms are newly changed and have a soft and fragrant smell.
Sui Sui was put on it without making a sound. She was sleeping very soundly, but she turned over spontaneously to find a comfortable position and lay quiet and still again.
The brothers Wen Chi and Chu Yan stayed by her side for a long time before they felt relieved and closed the door and left.
Chu Yan walked towards the kitchen refrigerator:
"What would you like to drink?"
"Beer bar."
Fatigue from several days in a row, and the emotions that were released in one day...
Wen Chi felt that alcohol was most suitable for his current mood.
Chu Yan, who had just opened the refrigerator door, was stunned.
It feels like the little brat has grown up overnight and will ask him for a drink.
I glanced at the beer in the refrigerator, then decided to skip it and grab a bottle of orange juice.
"No wine."
Wen Chi silently turned his gaze to the temperature-controlled wine cabinet on the side.
There are hundreds of collectible red wines, whiskeys and other items on display.
...This is called 'no wine'?
Chu Yan, worthy of being Mr. Chu, remained calm:
"Well, no."
It means not to give.
Under the pressure of his brother's gaze, Wen Chi slowly lowered his eyes and picked up the orange juice:
"If there is no one, then there is no one."
After a pause, he felt a little indignant.
"I've been an adult for a long time, okay..."
Chu Yan pretended not to hear.
——The two brothers are getting along more harmoniously, unlike when they first talked about reconciliation, when they were so awkward that they didn’t know how to get along with each other.
Wen Chi sat down on the sofa in the living room, not forgetting Chu Yan's words:
"What did you want to say?"
As he said that, he unscrewed the bottle cap and tilted his head back to drink the fresh orange juice.
Chu Yan took a bottle of soda water and poured it into the glass.
Then, he spoke casually, as if he was saying something very ordinary:
"Let's adopt Sui Sui."
Pick up the glass and drink it all in one gulp.
Wen Chi was startled, and the orange juice choked his throat, causing him to cough uncontrollably:
"Ahem...what did you say?"
clang.
The glass was placed back on the marble table.
Chu Yan's expression remained calm as usual, and he repeated the sentence:
"Wasn't that what you proposed in the beginning?"
Wen Chi opened his mouth wide and couldn't say anything for a long time.
Until his throat started to itch and he coughed twice, he raised his hand to wipe the water stains from the corners of his mouth:
"No, no, of course it was me who suggested it, but... didn't you reject it before? You said the idea was too unreliable and it would be better to find a suitable family to adopt Sui Sui... You..."
It's changing too fast!
Although Wen Chi had heard Chu Yan roughly talk about his relationship with Sui Sui in the past few days.
But Wen Chi never thought that Chu Yan would be so special to Sui Sui!
So much so that he made an exception and changed his original idea and decided to adopt Sui Sui!
Chu Yan put his hands in his pockets and raised his eyebrows:
"Why, you don't agree?"
"Of course not!"
Wen Chi hurriedly raised his voice to deny it.
Then the sound slowly fell,
"I was wondering how the rest of the family would handle it..."
Indeed, if he wanted to adopt Sui Sui as his younger sister, he would have to go through the hurdle of meeting his father Wen Yu.
Chu Yan thought about it and suggested very seriously:
"I adopt Sui Sui as my daughter?"
Wen Chi's eyes widened in shock, his head full of question marks.
Chu Yan had no intention of joking at all:
"Isn't that what you suggested at the beginning? You wanted my help, but isn't adopting her as a daughter the only option?"
Wen Chi was speechless:
"I'm right, but..."
In his heart, Suisui is his sister.
This realization was like a brand, deeply engraved in his heart.
Just thinking about asking him to call Sui Sui his niece seems strange.
But, should we give up on adopting Suisui just because of this little discomfort?
Just as Wen Chi was struggling to waver.
Chu Yanxian said:
"That's not good either."
"What?"
Wen Chi was confused.
Chu Yan analyzed rationally:
"In some ways, it would be difficult for an unmarried, childless man to adopt a three-and-a-half-year-old girl."
There is some truth in this.
But Wen Chi was choked and unable to speak.
as well as--
Is it an illusion?
Why did he always feel that his elder brother was deliberately joking with him when he said this?
Big brother? Are you kidding?
These two words cannot be associated together in any way.
Wen Chi shook his head, shaking off the outrageous thoughts:
"What should we do then?"
Chu Yan said calmly:
"Let's talk to grandpa and grandma first."
Wen Chi thought about it and felt that this was the best solution.
But it’s already late, and it’s not appropriate to call the two old people in a hurry now. It would be better to wait until tomorrow.
Of course, the best thing is to meet in person and talk, which seems more serious and is more likely to convince them.
The two brothers made up their minds and decided to discuss it in detail tomorrow.
After they finished talking, they relaxed and a feeling of fatigue came over them.
Both of them hadn't slept for several days, but now they could finally get a good night's sleep.
