"If you dislike home so much, aren't you afraid people will worry?" Rong Xu asked, clearly treating Lu Qingyan as a little girl throwing a tantrum.
"Brother, please don't send me back," Lu Qingyan repeated again. Afraid that Rong Xu would really send her back, she briefly told him about her situation.
Rong Xu: (′;︵;`)╮（╯＿╰）╭
"So what do you plan to do?" Rong Xu originally wanted to reach out and pat Lu Qingyan's head, but looking at that dirty head, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.
He could only cough a few times, trying to cover up his actions by pulling his hand back to his mouth.
"Brother, can you take care of me?" Lu Qingyan looked at Rong Xu with bright eyes: "I'm easy to take care of, I don't eat much, and I can help you with chores."
Rong Xu smiled and said, "If I were to do it, you wouldn't be able to help." After saying that, he felt that it was a bit inappropriate for the little girl and might hurt her feelings, so he comforted her by saying, "You can help when you grow up."
"Then, brother, if you raise me, I'll help you." When I grow up, I can get an ID card, and then I can find a job to support myself and my handsome brother.
Rong Xu didn't dislike Lu Qingyan that much; in fact, he even liked the girl a little. However, he wasn't too keen on accepting this trouble.
Lu Qingyan noticed his hesitation. She wanted to reach out and pull him, but then thought she would get her clothes dirty. She looked curiously into Rong Xu's eyes and asked, "Brother, do you have a girlfriend now?"
Rong Xu was taken aback, then shook his head and laughed, "Why are you asking this?" But in the end, he still answered, "Nothing."
"Then, brother, if you raise me, I'll marry you!"
A black line appeared on Rong Xu's forehead: "Little girl, don't watch those messy TV dramas."
However, at this moment, he still decided to raise the little girl. It wasn't because of any talk of repaying him with his body, but rather because of a strange sense of responsibility; he felt he should teach this little girl properly.
"Rong Mu, take her back," Rong Xu instructed. Soon, someone led her to a large house. It was truly huge, much larger than where the Hu family lived. Looking at everything around her, Lu Qingyan felt a sense of unreality.
Lu Qingyan was really dirty now, so it was quite a challenge for Rong Xu to recognize her; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he had a keen eye.
The Rong family had many servants, and they were all quite nice. When they saw their master bring home a dirty little child, they were only slightly surprised before accepting the fact.
Then, they took Lu Qingyan to the bathroom and didn't bring her out until two hours later.
The company matters had long been settled. Rong Xu sat on the balcony, sipping her brewed plum tea and lazily flipping through a book she had read countless times. Suddenly, a shadow fell over her. Rong Xu turned around and saw Lu Qingyan standing beside her.
Lu Qingyan is no longer the same as when she first entered the room. Her skin is flushed from washing, and she is wearing a half-new beige dress. Her delicate eyebrows and eyes are like those of an adorable doll, but her straw-like hair is really an eyesore.
Rong Xu smiled and said, "With a little dressing up, you'll look much prettier."
"Thank you, brother," Lu Qingyan said from the bottom of her heart. Her eyes were slightly red, and tears streamed down her face. If only Rong Xu could always be this gentle; she loved this family.
