Fu Weidong was like a little animal, afraid of being disliked by the fairy sister, and dared not meet her eyes.
However, this was already the best place he could find to settle down.
He was kicked out by the Tian family that day, and had nothing but the tattered clothes he was wearing that could no longer be mended.
Fortunately, he had some good things left behind by the fairy sister, which kept him from starving to death these past few days.
He didn't want to lie because the fairy sister was so kind.
He hesitated for a long time before stammering, "I live here..."
Fan Xiaofan's eyebrows furrowed: "Don't you have a home? How come you live alone, living in a place like this..."
The place was drafty and offered no shelter from the wind or rain; it was so cramped that one could only huddle up inside.
"I, I..."
Fu Weidong bit his lower lip. The little boy was thin and small. He was only five years old this year. He was raised by the Tian family and never had a good meal. He was inevitably malnourished, which made him even more pitiful to look at.
“I am not a child of the Tian family. The Tian family has been taking things sent from my family, but they only give me a little to eat. Now it seems that something happened to my family and they can no longer send things, so they kicked me out.”
"This really is the best place I've found to stay..."
Fu Weidong's voice sounded extremely aggrieved.
This instantly softened Fan Xiaofan's heart completely. Children are the most adorable creatures, and women are most prone to developing maternal feelings towards children.
The dog hole was narrow, and the two were very close together. Fan Xiaofan's stomach rumbled loudly, which was quite noticeable in the quiet environment.
"I remember leaving you some food. Have you finished eating?"
Fan Xiaofan slapped his forehead. A pack of compressed biscuits contained six pieces, which would only last for a day or two. They were definitely all gone by now.
But who would have thought that Fu Weidong would carefully rummage through a hidden hole, pull out something, and present it to Fan Xiaofan like a treasure, saying, "I'm eating it very carefully..."
When Fan Xiaofan looked at the box, he saw that five of the six cookies were still left, and he felt an overwhelming pang of sadness.
Fu Weidong pouted and said, "I originally wanted to save some money, but before I knew it, I had eaten a piece."
He would only take a small bite with his millet teeth when he was so hungry that he couldn't bear it anymore, grinding it slowly in his mouth, as if that would make him feel less hungry.
In Fan Xiaofan's view, the food was only enough to last for one or two days, but Fu Weidong treated it as his last and only food source, which he could use to survive for several months.
"Sister, are you hungry? Here, have some to eat."
It was something so precious, yet he presented it to Fan Xiaofan with utmost care.
Fan Xiaofan took a deep breath and made a decision: "Do you want to come back with me? Since something happened to your family, it seems we won't be able to contact them for a long time. Can you temporarily settle down with me?"
She asked in a consultative tone, indicating that she wouldn't force him if he was unwilling.
Fu Weidong's eyes lit up instantly.
Living with a fairy sister?
Is it really possible?
God knows how scared he's been these past few days. He's just a little kid, and all his food comes from the compressed biscuits left by Fan Xiaofan. If he were stupid, he would have just starved to death without even realizing it. But he's too smart; he knows that even adults can starve to death at this time.
"Can I really do it?"
He asked, his heart pounding in his throat.
