"It's alright. You can tidy up here, and I'll take him to the orphanage."
"The orphanage!"
Upon hearing this, the boy's expression changed drastically. He, who was usually timid and cowardly, suddenly found the courage to step forward and hug Jun Feijue tightly. He looked up and pleaded, "Lord jailer, Xiao Qi... Xiao Qi's younger brother is dead. Xiao Qi feels that he is very much like her brother. Could you let Xiao Qi raise him?"
The orphanage was a place where the Wuya Dynasty took in orphans, but in reality, that was just a nice-sounding facade; most of the children who went there did not have a good life.
Hunger, hard labor, and being beaten and scolded were common occurrences for him. He had been there before, so he didn't want the child who had helped him to be sent to such a place.
It was only at this moment that Jun Feijue saw the boy's face clearly.
Although the boy was thin, he was delicate and graceful, with almond-shaped eyes and willow-leaf eyebrows. He was clearly a boy, but he gave people a feeling that was more refined and gentle than a girl.
Feeling the slightly trembling, thin arms encircling him, Jun Feijue was moved.
She could tell that the boy was helping her; he was clearly terrified, yet he was still protecting her.
Although she could easily slap this so-called jailer away, she was a newcomer, and everyone around her was gone. Even the heavens and earth were asleep. She wisely chose to observe the situation and did not act rashly.
Even if you want to leave, you should first figure out exactly where you are before you go.
Are you sure?
Facing the boy's gaze, the female jailer seemed to recall something, and after a moment of distraction, she said, "If you want to keep him, you will be responsible for his meals."
“Okay, I… I will make more embroidery, and I will take care of supporting him.”
Upon hearing this, the boy was overjoyed and knelt down before the jailer, kowtowing repeatedly, "Thank you, Jailer Chen."
"Well, since you're going to take care of him, then do your best."
After saying that, the jailer turned to look at Jun Feijue and said, "Consider yourself lucky, kid. You'd better grow up well, understand?"
Kid?
Upon hearing this, Jun Feijue frowned slightly. This form of address…
It seems like they don't respect people very much.
"Little... you should quickly thank Jailer Chen."
After glancing at Jun Feijue, who was standing there like a wooden statue, the boy quickly tugged at Jun Feijue's sleeve and said something.
Thanks?
However, Jun Feijue looked completely bewildered. Had this person ever helped her in any way?
Why did she thank him?
"This child looks a bit slow, could it be that his brain..."
Seeing this, Chen, the jailer, frowned slightly, then sighed and looked at the boy, saying, "No need for formalities, just take good care of him in the future."
After saying that, he shook his head and walked out.
She knew, of course, that the boy had been bullied in prison. However, Li Guihua was the prison leader she had chosen, specifically to suppress the other prisoners.
Therefore, she could only turn a blind eye to his behavior.
"Hey, an ugly duckling and a black idiot, they're a perfect match."
As soon as Chen the jailer left, the fat man immediately stepped forward with a strange grin and mocked, "Ugly freak, you can't skimp on the embroidery you give me every day. Don't think that just because you've raised such a dark-skinned idiot, I'll be lenient with you."
"kindness."
Faced with the fat man's threat, the boy simply held Jun Feijue in his arms, bowed his head, and nodded obediently.
He knew that if he disobeyed, he would get another beating.
"What are you standing there for? Pack your things!"
