One summer vacation, the chirping of cicadas could be heard one after another, and the breeze brought a hint of coolness, dispelling the summer heat.
In the courtyard of the Caixin County Welfare Home, the leaves rustled in the wind.
A little boy, much taller than his age, was standing in the middle of the courtyard with his head held high and his chest puffed out as punishment.
Gu Guodong, with a slightly hunched back, looked at him and said unhappily:
"Afeng, you're making trouble again!"
"Hold out your hand."
Hearing this, Gu Feng obediently stretched out his little hand and said with a playful smile:
"Grandpa Dean, please be gentle."
"Gentle? You still have the nerve to ask me to be gentler?" Gu Guodong hit Gu Feng's hand twice fiercely, suppressing his anger and questioning:
"How many times has this happened? A couple is so kind and wants to adopt you, and not only are you ungrateful, you're also pouring water on their heads?!"
Having said this, he glanced around, and after making sure that no one was around, he lowered his voice and said with regret:
"Among all the children of your age who are not missing any limbs, you are the only one still staying in an orphanage. Aren't you stupid?"
"The couple just now are from a well-off family. Why are you so ignorant?"
"Do I have to stay in the orphanage until I reach adulthood?"
"Tsk... I don't think they are good people." Gu Feng muttered softly, with no sign of admitting his mistake on his face.
“You…you! Sigh…”
Gu Guodong sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly.
"Forget it, let's leave it at that for now. Someone from a company wants to donate today, so don't run around."
"Stand here for two hours as punishment."
"oh."
Gu Feng nodded perfunctorily, appearing to be obedient.
But as soon as Gu Guodong turned around and walked away, he ran away like a bird escaping from a cage.
Only a fool would stay behind to stand as punishment.
If you get caught, the worst that can happen is a slap on the hand. It won’t hurt anyway.
With this thought in mind, Gu Feng sneaked all the way to the breeding room, wanting to visit his younger brothers and sisters.
However, as soon as I arrived at the incubation room, I saw a little girl in a white dress, as cute as a doll, asking a young staff member:
"Sister, there's a baby crying inside, why don't you comfort him?"
Upon hearing this, the staff member just glanced down at the little girl and continued to browse his phone with a cold attitude.
The little girl looked at the baby crying inside with a distressed look, and spoke again, her voice tinged with anxiety:
"Sister, this is wrong. There's a crying baby inside. How can you be playing with your phone here?"
However, the staff member just sighed slightly, as if he was used to it, and then turned to the other side, indifferent to the little girl's words.
Just as the little girl was about to catch up with him to argue, Gu Feng hurried forward, stopped her, and then said softly:
"Come with me."
Having said that, he walked towards the other side of the corridor.
The little girl hesitated for a moment and then followed him.
After arriving at the corridor, Gu Feng stopped, turned around, and patiently explained:
"Children in our orphanage usually learn not to cry or make a fuss by three months old...and staff are prohibited from holding children. This will only make them dependent and cause greater harm."
"So...if you treat them even slightly well, they'll follow you around and call you mom."
"That's how I got here anyway."
Hearing this, the little girl was stunned and fell into deep thought.
Gu Feng then continued:
"We have many children in our orphanage, but few staff. If we had to comfort them the moment they cried, they would probably cry from morning till night. Even if the staff could hold them the whole time, their bodies wouldn't be able to handle it, and then no one would come to work at the orphanage..."
“The kind-hearted people in society only come for a few hours and cannot devote their entire lives…”
"Is that so..." The little girl digested these words carefully, then nodded heavily.
"It's my fault. I'll go apologize to that sister later."
“No.”
Gu Feng waved his hand, not wanting to talk about this heavy topic any more, and then asked with a smile: "Are you here with the company?"
"I came with my mother." The little girl replied.
"Then your family must be very rich."
"Well, I am indeed very rich..." the little girl admitted generously.
After receiving a positive answer, Gu Feng couldn't help but sigh: "It's great to be rich. I want to be a rich man when I grow up."
"Having money isn't that good..." The little girl tilted her head, thought carefully, and offered some advice:
"You can choose a rich mom or dad."
"Then forget it."
"Why?" the little girl was puzzled.
Why... Hearing this question, Gu Feng scratched his head, and every detail of the welfare home emerged in his mind. He answered casually: "Because this is my home."
"I see..."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Gu Feng changed the subject and introduced himself with a smile:
"Hello, my name is Gu Feng, you can call me Afeng."
Hearing this, the little girl smiled sweetly:
"My name is Luoya."
"Then you can also call me Aya."
