This little devil.
Lin Su narrowed his eyes.
Pei Shu felt a little embarrassed when he heard such a title. In fact, Mr. Lin was only two years older than him, but his maturity was not only in his appearance, but also in his demeanor. Such demeanor sometimes made people subconsciously ignore his age.
But it's really awkward to call one brother and the other uncle.
"Xiao Tang, this is also my brother." Pei Shu said.
Lu Tang held the Transformer and tried to call out reluctantly, but Lin Su stopped him, saying, "It's okay. At this age, it's okay to call him uncle. Xiao Tang, your Uncle Pei and I are here to see you. Are you happy? If not, I'll confiscate your Transformer."
Suddenly, Uncle Pei's thoughts started to rise: "..."
Why did Mr. Lin suddenly become so petty?
Lu Tang originally planned to do something naughty, but he had been looking forward to the Transformers for a very, very long time. If he confiscated them, he didn't know when he would be able to get them again in the future.
Although he was clever, he was still a little kid of seven or eight years old. Facing a thousand-year-old demon like Lin Su, he could only silently lower his head and say, "I'm happy, especially happy. Uncle, come often."
"Okay, uncle must come often." Lin Su pressed his head and said.
"Xiaoyun, this is for you, take it." Pei Shu took out another car and gave it to Zou Lingyun.
"Thank you, Uncle Pei... Thank you, Uncle." Zou Lingyun said softly.
As he was distributing toys, the children who were playing in the dirt dropped their things and gathered around him. In the past, if it was just Pei Shu who came, they would have all gathered around him. But now with Lin Su standing nearby, they all looked a little timid.
Pei Shu laughed and walked over: "Okay, come over here, one by one. If you can't get the one you like, you can share it with your friends. Don't fight over it, okay?"
"Okay." The children lined up in a row, whispering and looking around. Lu Tang volunteered to maintain order, looking like a little adult.
Lin Su was sitting on the stone corridor nearby and watching the scene. The sunlight was not so strong at this time, and it shone warmly on people's bodies. A bunch of dirty little kids lined up, took the toys from the person who lowered his eyes slightly and smiled, and then said thank you obediently.
Perhaps it was because of the sunshine, but from Lin Su's perspective, the man's whole body was covered with a halo of sunlight, and his fair skin seemed to be completely transparent. Lin Su's gaze unconsciously stopped.
Maybe I don't know from
Since when did his eyes always seem to be fixed on this person, until today when he was jealous.
Lin Su was sure that the unpleasant feeling he felt when he saw him with other girls was jealousy.
It is an indisputable fact that he likes Pei Shu.
But he had seen many people like Pei Shu in countless worlds and among countless people. His previous kindness would not allow him to shift his feelings towards the little guy. His heart was pounding. That kind of unconscious attention was a sense of familiarity engraved in his soul. His soul recognized this person who had completely changed his appearance, name and identity before his mind.
After being reminded for more than a dozen lifetimes, even he would be confused by the situation. Very good, you actually dare to tease him like this, well done.
Pei Shu felt that the sunshine, weather and mood were just right today, but for a moment he felt a chill on his back. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Lin Su, but met the gaze he had just missed.
Maybe it was the wind, an illusion.
Although Lu Tang over there was maintaining order, he was holding Zou Lingyun, who was holding a car, and they were inseparable.
Although he recognized the person, he still had a mission. Lu Tang was obviously not easy to approach as he was very alert. If he wanted to take action, he could only start with Zou Lingyun.
Pei Shu finished distributing the toys, and the children scattered around the yard laughing. He folded the bag and walked over to Lin Su and asked, "Will Mr. Lin get bored?"
"No, it's also enjoyable to watch them laughing and talking." Lin Su looked at Zou Lingyun who was playing with a toy car on the ground not far away and said, "What is the process for adopting children here?"
"Couples come here to see if they're compatible, and then we review their qualifications and conditions. Orphanages usually choose children without children, which is better for both children and adults." Pei Shu followed his gaze and said, "Usually, couples choose younger children. That way, when they grow up, they won't remember their childhood memories and their family ties will be deeper. Older children often have a harder time integrating into a family."
"You're such a good kid, why weren't you adopted?" Lin Su turned his head and looked at him. "If you mind, you don't have to tell me."
Good? Pei Shu's heart skipped a beat, and he felt his palms getting slightly warm.
In fact, he used to feel sad about that past, but not anymore.
"There's nothing to hide. I was adopted." Pei Shu looked at the children playing.
They smiled slightly and said, "My parents at that time were just an ordinary working-class family, but they were very gentle and considerate. However, in the second year after I went there, they had a child. My younger brother didn't like me and we always had arguments. Later, I was sent back."
Comparing a biological child with a non-biological one, even if the biological one is the one who made the mistake, it will only be the non-biological one who will be sent away. This is not cruel, but human nature. It just hurts a little more when it happens to you.
Pei Shu thought that he would never be able to talk about that past, but now he found that when he spoke about it, the waves in his heart were no longer big, only a slightly cold feeling remained.
Lin Su raised his hand and pressed his head and said, "Were you looking forward to having a new brother at that time?"
Pei Shu felt the dry, warm hand on his head, feeling as if he had been suddenly pulled out of that chilly situation. He lowered his eyes and sighed softly, saying, "At the time, I just felt happy that I would have another family member."
At that time, he would sleep in his crib and look forward to the birth of his new brother. He would feel happy when he saw his mother happy, and would even tell stories to his brother. That was probably the time filled with laughter and joy, but dreams always end, and people ultimately have to rely on themselves. Only the orphanage is his eternal home.
He is such a well-behaved and docile person, who usually tolerates small things. How could he compete for favor with a little kid who has been waiting for a long time?
However, it is natural for children to compete for favor. Although the crying child gets candy, adults will still prefer the obedient one when they are very tired. In contrast, the noisy one will be scolded and told that he is not as obedient as his brother. The scolded child will develop a rebellious mentality, just like other children.
Conflicts arise, and the one who is abandoned is the one in front of you. After being taken away and sent back again, it is indeed difficult for the child to be adopted by a new family.
"The past is over. You will have a lover, family, children, and everything in the future." Lin Su patted his head and said.
"Yeah." Pei Shu responded softly, his eyes slightly lost in thought as he looked at the man's cheek.
He thought that he probably wouldn't have it anymore. It is important for people to be content with what they have and not to desire things that they cannot get. But he seemed to have something that he couldn't get and couldn't let go of.
