"Because I am disabled, and probably always will be."
Pei Yushen said.
"Disabled" was the most common comment he heard after the accident, ranging from malicious mockery to sighs of regret and pity.
When his parents looked at him, although they were smiling, there was always a deep and unyielding sorrow in their eyes.
Chaochao tilted her head, first struggling to process the meaning of "disabled," and then looking at Pei Yushen with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Pei Yushen's rapidly beating heart gradually cooled down.
Chaochao glanced at the expressionless young man and sighed sadly.
She knew what was wrong with Yu Shen, based on what she had learned from Lingling today.
My brother is calling this "late-night emo".
As the effects of the peach wine gradually took hold, Chaochao swayed as she stood up and climbed onto the low stool at the foot of the bed.
Pei Yushen, who was keeping his lips tightly pressed together and unwilling to speak, caught a glimpse of the little girl's movements out of the corner of his eye. His brows furrowed, but he was still worried that she might accidentally fall, so he pushed the wheelchair a little closer.
Then Chaochao, who was standing on the stool, grabbed his head and hugged him.
Pei Yushen, who was suddenly choked, was unusually bewildered.
Chaochao, mimicking Grandma Zhou's posture from her memory, adjusted her position, resting Pei Yushen's head on her small shoulder. Her head nestled in the boy's still-damp black hair, and the effect was remarkable; she instantly found her rhythm. The little dumpling stroked his thin back with her other hand, her childish voice slowly saying:
"Brother Yushen is such a good boy. He's not only good-looking, but also so smart... He can not only fix robots, but also knows the Rabbit Theorem. He can teach Chaochao math, play with Chaochao, and even let Chaochao ride in his little car... Grandma, Chaochao could only find such a wonderful child with a lantern..."
The sleepy little dumpling knew Pei Yushen's strengths like the back of her hand, but when it came to his weaknesses, she paused for a moment before finally coming up with one.
"Um...it's just that you're not eating enough food, which isn't good...but this way I can help my brother eat more. Let's change it up, change it up, is there anything else..."
The boy, nestled in the arms of the little dumpling, had tears still clinging to the corners of his eyes, and his dark, water-washed eyes revealed a look of astonishment. His lips parted several times, but he could not utter a word.
Things did indeed develop in a way that exceeded his expectations.
"If I really had to name one... I've got it!" The little dumpling forced herself to perk up and pointed out quite seriously, "Brother Yu Shen, you weren't very enthusiastic towards my little lamb today. You need to change that, okay? Otherwise, it will hurt the lamb's feelings..."
Ah, she really is a fair child.
Feeling perfectly objective, Chaochao hugged Pei Yushen's head and grinned foolishly.
She racked her brains for a long time to think of his shortcomings, but didn't consider his most obvious flaws at all.
For Chaochao, physical disability was never a flaw. In her heart, Pei Yushen was no different from her other brothers, and she was even happy to be able to hitch a ride in her brother's little car from time to time.
Pei Yushen blinked twice, his wet eyelashes casting a dark shadow on Chaochao's puffy sleeves. As he listened to the little dumpling praising and lecturing him in an unusually mature tone, his cooled heart gradually warmed up.
He twitched the corner of his lips and gave a soft sneer.
So it seems he does have some redeeming qualities.
"You mustn't forget what you said."
The boy murmured softly.
The system, which had been watching the drama unfold, noticed that the target's corruption value had suddenly dropped by 30%. It rubbed its eyes in disbelief, and after confirming it several times, it blurted out a phrase from the Chinese national treasure.
Please, this is Pei Yushen, who's incredibly difficult to deal with!
Upon seeing Pei Yushen's withdrawn and gloomy demeanor at the start, the system had already given up hope. In any case, the current level of darkness in the world no longer posed a threat of destruction, and the main villain was providing energy continuously every day.
Surprisingly, it actually got chewed up.
It has to be because it was drunk that it drove so fast every day!
Is this considered a blessing in disguise?
Hearing Pei Yushen's barely perceptible low chuckle, the system mimicked Huo Qin's disdainful sneer.
What are you laughing at? If you're so capable, get out of Chaochao's arms!
"Little baby~ Go to sleep quickly~ This song will lull you to sleep~~"
"Ah...ah...ah...a once in a thousand years..."
Intoxicated, Chaochao hugged Pei Yushen's head and swayed it from side to side, treating him like a child who needed to be lulled to sleep and lovingly performing a medley of lullabies.
The singing made Pei Yushen's eardrums buzz, "..."
The little dumpling's warm breath sprayed on his head, and details that he had previously overlooked due to his intense emotions gradually surfaced, such as the faint smell of alcohol that lingered in the room when Chaochao came in.
Considering Chaochao's noticeably slow reaction time since she entered the room, although her reaction time had always been long—
"Why...it stopped..." Chaochao, her eyes still blurry, stood on a low stool, wondering why the rocking horse had stopped moving. She also ruthlessly pressed down on Pei Yushen's head, which he was trying to lift.
A piece of candy was stuffed into his hand. After inserting the game coin, Chaochao hugged the boy's head again and shook it back and forth, muttering indistinctly, "Shake it again, I want to hear my little baby fall asleep quickly..."
Pei Yushen doubted that he had misheard: "...You want me to sing?"
Chaochao replied matter-of-factly, "Because I already paid for it."
"I……"
Pei Yu felt a warm glow rise from the roots of his ears. Urged on by the little dumpling's soft, sweet voice, he opened and closed his mouth several times. Finally, his fingers gripped the wheelchair tightly as if he had seized a bit of courage, overcoming his inner shame, and he slowly opened his mouth: "Little..."
There was a shadowy figure moving outside the half-open door. Pei Yushen quickly shut his mouth, annoyed that he had actually thought of singing. Had his brain gone mad?
