Chapter 566 The Dream of the Four Little Ones (You can review chapters 171 and 203) The spring sunlight filtered through the branches of the camphor trees, casting dappled light and shadow on the lawn outside the orphanage. The grass blades were still covered with morning dew, reflecting a delicate shimmer.
Gu Feng scratched the back of his head shyly, revealing a set of white teeth: "A Liang... you... are good."
I don't know why, but the two sisters look almost exactly alike, like two flowers blooming side by side.
He could act naturally when facing the lively Luo Ya, who was as lively as a sparrow, but when facing the quiet Luo Liang, his heart would beat exceptionally fast, and he would even stutter when he spoke.
This feeling is strange and wonderful.
"Pfft—"
Upon seeing this, Luo Ya burst out laughing. She took a big step back, covered her face with her hands, and let out a teasing laugh through her fingers: "Sister, look at A-Feng! He blushed and got shy when he saw you! Isn't this what they call love at first sight? Hehe."
Although she is not very old, as the eldest daughter of the Luo family, she is much more mature than children of the same age, and has long been skilled at reading people's expressions.
Gu Feng's face flushed bright red instantly, and even his neck turned a strange color.
He awkwardly shrank back, wishing he could disappear into the ground and turn around and run away.
Luo Liang was teased by her younger sister, but she wasn't embarrassed at all. She just slightly curved the corners of her mouth, her smile as gentle as the sunshine on the lawn, capable of melting away the chill of early spring.
She took a half step forward, her voice soft yet steady: "Ah Feng, Xiao Ya is young and doesn't know any better. She just said things offhand. Don't take it to heart."
Despite her petite stature, she exudes a reassuring aura when she stands there.
Gu Feng secretly admired him. As expected of a child raised by a wealthy family, he was indeed different from the older brothers, sisters, and younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage.
Luo Liang skillfully defused his embarrassment with a few words and smoothly steered the conversation back to the orphanage.
The three of them found a patch of grass under the shade of a tree and sat down, the fragrance of the grass filling their nostrils.
Luo Ya chattered on about the interesting things happening at home, from imported candies to the newly bought piano; Luo Liang would occasionally add a few words, asking about the daily expenses of the orphanage and the children's lives.
Gu Feng was deeply moved, a hint of undisguised envy in his eyes. He had never experienced such a life before, and even though he deeply loved everything about the orphanage, he couldn't help but yearn for it.
Just then, a delicate voice, trembling with tears, came from not far away: "Sister Xiaoya, Sister Xiaoya, where are you? I can't find you!"
The sound grew closer, accompanied by the faint sound of footsteps.
Luo Ya immediately pouted and rolled her eyes helplessly: "Seriously, Tian Lei is such a clingy snot-nosed brat."
"You always tease him." Luo Liang's smile remained gentle. She stood up, waved in the direction of the voice, and softened her voice even more: "Leilei, we're over here."
On a path not far away, a little boy in a white suit, who looked a bit simple-minded, stopped. When he saw Luo Liang and the other two, his eyes lit up instantly, and he took off running towards them, his little leather shoes making a "clack-clack" sound on the grass.
He stopped when he reached Luo Ya, looked up at her with a silly grin, and offered her a small, slightly wilted blue flower with his chubby little hand: "Sister Xiao Ya, this is a flower I picked for you by the roadside, it's really pretty."
Luo Ya complained irritably, "If you run off again next time, I'll leave you here and make sure you can't find your way home."
But his hands honestly accepted the flower, his fingertips twirling the petals, happily turning them over and over, the smile on his lips impossible to hide.
Luo Liang then introduced the two: "A-Feng, this is my younger brother Luo Tianlei; Leilei, this is Gu Feng, you can call him Brother A-Feng."
Just as Gu Feng was about to greet him, Luo Tianlei quickly looked up and revealed a simple and honest smile: "Hello, Brother Feng! My name is Luo Tianlei. Sister Xiaoya picked me up on the road!"
"Hey! Luo Tianlei! Don't add these to every introduction!" Luo Ya said irritably, hitting his head with her hand.
Luo Tianlei just covered his head and chuckled, not angry at all.
He was two years younger than Luo Liang and Luo Ya. He used to live with his grandmother by scavenging for garbage. After his grandmother passed away unexpectedly, he became a child without anyone to care for him.
That day, he was squatting by the roadside crying when Luo Ya happened to see him and was "picked up" and taken back to the Luo family.
He wasn't originally surnamed Luo; he changed his surname after being adopted by the Luo family, signifying bidding farewell to the past and starting a new life.
Looking at the three people joking around in front of him, Gu Feng suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart. The sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on his face, making even his previous shyness fade a little.
He greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Lei."
Luo Tianlei's arrival doubled the liveliness on the lawn, making the already chattering atmosphere even more vibrant.
Gu Feng's laughter was particularly cheerful, mixed with Luo Tianlei's pleas for mercy as Luo Ya twisted his ear, "Sister Xiao Ya! Sister Xiao Ya, I was wrong!", and Luo Liang's occasional soft admonitions, like a string of dancing notes, spreading in the spring air.
There is no poverty of an orphanage here, no rules of a wealthy family, only the pure joy of young boys and girls. Even the rustling of the wind through the grass seems to be laughing along with them.
