Today, a different guest arrived at the orphanage in City A. All the children had been instructed by the director that the person coming today was the richest man in City A, the chairman of the Xia Group. He was there to adopt children to... serve as playmates for his only daughter.
In the world of children, they don't understand the concept of scheming and backstabbing. They only know that if they behave well, they can leave this crowded orphanage, live in a big house, and wear beautiful clothes.
At least, that's what the dean told them.
A black car arrived at the orphanage gate on time. All the children were lined up according to their height, looking somewhat like merchandise waiting to be chosen by customers.
A tall man got out of the car. He looked to be in his thirties. The years had made his handsome features more composed. His sharp eyes seemed to see right through you. He didn't leave the car immediately. Instead, he walked to the back door and pulled out a girl in a red dress.
The girl looked to be six or seven years old. She had her hair tied in a simple and neat ponytail with a red ribbon. She was holding a teddy bear in her hand, and her ponytail swayed behind her head as she walked, which was incredibly cute. In fact, she was indeed very pretty and had a delicate, exquisite appearance.
This little girl is different from the children in the orphanage. She is a pampered little princess, exquisite and lovely, yet possessing a haughty beauty.
Xia Chao took the girl's hand and walked to the children, asking softly, "Feng Guang, all the children are here. Do you want a little sister or brother, or an older brother or sister?"
"I want a brother!" Feng Guang answered loudly.
Xia Chao glanced at the dean, who immediately picked out several boys who were older than Feng Guang and said with a fawning smile, "Miss Xia, please look, these children can all be your older brothers."
The little girl walked around the row of children, seemingly undecided. After a while, she went back to the first boy and saw him suddenly clutching his clothes nervously. She looked up in confusion and asked, "Don't you want to be my brother?"
The boy paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."
Now, Xia Chao frowned and looked at him.
The dean quickly smiled apologetically, "Mr. Xia, Ji Mian has always been the most obedient person in our department. I don't know what's wrong with him today. I'll have someone take him away and give him a good talking to."
The dean gave a signal, and the security guard standing nearby was about to come over and pull the boy away.
Fengguang stood in front of the boy and shouted, "You're not allowed to touch him! I still have questions to ask him!"
The dean looked at the composed Xia Chao and smiled kindly, "What would Miss Xia like to ask?"
"Why don't you want to be my older brother?" Feng Guang ignored the dean and tugged at Ji Mian's sleeve, asking him curiously, "If you're willing to be my older brother, then you can come home with me, go to school with me, and play with me. Wouldn't that be better?"
The thirteen-year-old boy lowered his head and smiled gently, "Because I don't want to abandon my younger sister."
"Brother!" The five-year-old girl ran out from the group of children, hugging the boy's arm. She looked at Feng Guang timidly, looking rather pitiful.
Feng Guang asked, "Is she your sister?"
"yes."
"Hmm... then your relationship must be very good. I can't be the bad guy and separate you."
The dean quickly smiled and leaned closer, "Miss Xia, look, there are many handsome young men here..."
“Dad!” Feng Guang, as always, didn’t look at the dean, but called out to his father, “Let’s take them all back.”
Ji Mian's composed expression faltered.
Xia Chao laughed and said, "Before I came out, I only promised you that I would only adopt one child."
"Oh right... that's our promise."
The little girl was distressed; it seemed that her fate was sealed here. But Ji Mian showed no sign of disappointment.
"That's settled!" Feng Guang walked over and hugged Ji Mian's other arm, grinning, "Dad doesn't need to adopt him, I'll take care of him, that way it won't break our promise!"
Ji Mian lowered his head and could only see the top of the little girl's head. He suddenly realized that Xia Fengguang was a little girl who would keep her promises, but also an innocent and naive silly girl.
Hmm... This was thirteen-year-old Ji Mian's first impression of the scenery.
