Chapter 51 Take Me In
"Yangyang, go check if there's any hot water left in the kitchen." Sending Lin Yangyang away, Lin Zhaozhao looked at the child. "What is your purpose?"
"Take me in." The child's innocent voice rang out, and when he looked up, his dark eyes revealed an extreme level of rationality.
"I can take you in, but what will you offer in return?" Lin Zhaozhao recognized the child at first glance. He was the one she had rescued by chance during her escape from famine. Although she didn't know why the child had ended up in this situation, Lin Zhaozhao knew that this kid had a powerful background.
Making enemies for no reason is not worth it.
“Your actions in Huichun are radical. If necessary, I will protect your family.”
"When do you mean 'when is it necessary'? If I'm not mistaken, you're all alone right now." Given the protection that person had given him, they would never have let him starve to this extent. There's only one possibility: you got separated from them by accident on the way to escape the famine.
Lin Zhaozhao pointed directly at the vital point. The child's thin lips tightened and turned slightly pale. Only at this moment did he reveal a little bit of the confusion and helplessness that only a child would have.
"Remember what you said." The child looked up in surprise and was pulled to the well by Lin Zhaozhao.
Lin Yangyang brought out hot water, mixed it with cold water, and then Lin Zhaozhao put the child into the wooden tub.
It wasn't very noticeable when they were dressed, but when the sisters took a bath, their thin ribs were clearly visible, and their bodies were covered with bruises, indicating that they had suffered a lot during this time.
Because the child hadn't bathed in a long time, his hair was tangled and difficult to wash. With the child's consent, Lin Zhaozhao cut off his long, tangled hair, giving him a buzz cut.
I had to change the water five times before I was finally clean.
"This child is strangely fair-skinned, but in terms of tenderness, he can't compare to our Ping An." Lin Yangyang thought with delight, and lightly pinched the child, leaving a bright red mark when she released him.
Lin Zhaozhao & Child: ...
This is why Lin Zhaozhao didn't let Lin Yangyang bathe the child.
After taking a shower, Lin Zhaozhao carried the child into the house. Fortunately, she had stocked up on a lot of clothes in her spatial storage. While looking for clothes, Lin Zhaozhao found a set of clothes that were about the same size as the child.
"What's this?" The child picked up SpongeBob SquarePants briefs, and Lin Zhaozhao casually asked, "Underwear, do you know how to wear it?"
"I know." The child was quite annoyed. Looking in Lin Zhaozhao's direction, you could see the child's ears were bright red.
Once dressed, I finally look like a child.
Just then, Ping An woke up, and Lin Zhaozhao went to hug her, taking out shoes and socks for the child to put on himself.
Ping An was easy to coax, and soon she nestled obediently in Lin Zhaozhao's arms and drank milk.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Yang Yuan, and my courtesy name is Hongyuan." Logically speaking, in ancient times, people would only be given a courtesy name by their elders when they came of age. With this child's build, he was at most six years old. How could he have been given a courtesy name? Moreover, the courtesy name Hongyuan sounded a little familiar.
Ping An finished drinking the milk. As she put the bottle down, Lin Zhaozhao's pupils suddenly contracted. Zi Hongyuan—she knew why the name sounded familiar.
