Things about spending money on games (3)
Seeing that the little followers were still trying to bully and lie, the girl who came to report the news quickly pulled them apart and said, "Okay, everyone is here, don't leave a bad impression on the adopted couple."
After saying this, the girl glanced at Yan Lin with some guilt. The boy's delicate features, cold white face and peach blossom eyes did attract many adoptive families, but without exception they were blocked by the dean and these child kings. She didn't know the reason and could only watch him being tortured by these people every day.
Despite this, the boy's figure was never bent, and he always maintained the unyielding spirit of a strong bamboo.
As the footsteps approached, the children in the yard gradually gathered in one place and stood in the usual formation. The one standing in the front center was the overbearing fat boy, and the ones standing around him were all guys who had a good relationship with him.
Yan Lin just raised his eyelids coldly, with a strong sense of disgust leaking from his eyes, but he still pursed his lower lip and walked to the back of the crowd alone.
"Mr. Gu, please take a look at these children and see which one catches your eye." The dean bent over and looked at the couple in elegant clothes in front of him with a big smile on his face.
"What do you recommend, Director?" The handsome middle-aged man looked thoughtfully at the children and asked. The director immediately came to his senses and pointed at the fat man and others in the crowd. "These are the most obedient children in my hospital. Look, they are healthy and strong. You can tell they are blessed children..."
The woman still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the middle-aged man, "Okay, we will consider it."
The man turned his head and looked at his wife: "Madam, do you have a satisfactory candidate?"
The woman also walked back and forth among the children with a tangled look on her face. In the end, she decided to let her little daughter choose. "Let Rourou choose for herself. If we pick someone she doesn't like, our relationship will easily become strained in the future."
The couple discussed for a while and finally reached a consensus on having someone bring their daughter over to make the choice.
"Xiao Lin, bring the young lady over from the car and ask the bodyguards to follow her, so that nothing happens," Mrs. Gu made the call. Her tone was not impatient because the other party was a servant, but was full of tenderness and politeness.
The reason was simple. Her daughter had accidentally run into a car that ran out of control. If it hadn't been for the girl named Lin Tang who happened to be at the scene and pulled her daughter back to a safe place in front of the truck at the critical moment, she really didn't know whether she could see her daughter again today.
This little girl brought a strong sense of intimacy to her and her husband, so after learning about Xiaolin's family background, the couple hired her to work at home. Xiaolin happened to be a few years older than Rourou and was sensible. Rourou was also willing to listen to her, so it was a good thing to hire this girl.
Just as Mrs. Gu was thinking, a person surrounded by bodyguards appeared in front of everyone. Shen Tang held Gu Rou's hand and smiled at the Gu couple, then let go of her hand and stood behind Gu Rou.
"Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu, the young lady is here," Shen Tang smiled, and his whole person exuded a quiet and well-behaved aura, which made the Gu couple feel quite pleasing to the eye.
Gu Rou is the heroine in the game. To be more precise, the one who manipulates this character is the real heroine of the plot. As an indispensable part of the development of the small world, the world will definitely let the hero and heroine meet in some way. I believe that the girl's shell at this moment is the consciousness of the heroine of the plot. Although it is not clear how the other party's consciousness entered the world, but there is a plot, I believe that the person that Gu Jia will take away in a while will be Yan Lin.
Yan Lin stood there unmoved, looking at the scene ahead, his dark eyes showing no emotion. He had long been accustomed to it. From the moment he entered this orphanage, the director had never thought of letting him be adopted smoothly. No matter which couple wanted to adopt him, the director would pick out the other children and would never leave him any chance.
He had originally planned to leave the orphanage after the adoption issue was over, but when his eyes met Gu Rou, he froze in place like a rock.
"What's wrong with you?" The girl who was standing next to Yan Lin asked worriedly, but was frightened by the sudden look of shock in the other person's eyes and took a few steps back.
"Heh," the boy pressed his fingers heavily on his chest, talking to himself, "It really hurts."
I didn't expect to meet this person here again. Could it be a new gift from God to him?
"Rou Rou, which kid do you want to play with?" Mrs. Gu rubbed Gu Rou's head gently and pulled her past a group of children until they came in front of Yan Lin. The boy's cry of pain attracted the attention of both mother and daughter.
The wounds on the pale-skinned boy's face were particularly obvious. He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips as if he was enduring great pain. Even Mrs. Gu felt sorry for the boy. Gu Rou also stared at the boy in front of her blankly for a long time. At this time, countless thoughts flashed through her mind. This person... is he too handsome?
Gu Rou stretched out her hand and pointed at the boy in front of her: "I want to play with him."
Shen Tang, who was watching from afar, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the heroine had indeed chosen the hero. She could also breathe a sigh of relief that the Gu family had taken the hero along, otherwise it would have been bad if the hero in this game didn't have a good foundation and developed some obsessions.
Seeing that the Gu family couple discussed with the dean after Gu Rou made the decision, they still shamelessly slandered the male protagonist's character, with an attitude that they would not stop until they persuaded him to back down. However, the Gu family couple has never been easy to mess with, and empty words alone cannot convince people. In addition, the injuries on Yan Lin's body were at least caused by several people, so it is impossible that he caused them by himself. The Gu family couple felt even more distressed for Yan Lin.
Seeing that this couple was different from the ordinary couples he had met before and was determined to adopt Yan Lin, the dean could only grit his teeth and say, "You can take him away, but if this child accidentally burns something in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you in the first place."
"Watch your mouth," Mr. Gu frowned, "If you want to live a good life at this age, don't cause trouble!"
The obviously threatening words finally made the dean shut up, and he could only stare at Yan Lin with resentment as he was taken away by Mrs. Gu.
"What's your name?" Mrs. Gu patted the boy's shoulder gently with a faint smile on her face.
However, Yan Lin's eyes fell on Gu Rou for a long time. After a while, he realized what Mrs. Gu was asking and spoke seriously, "My name is Yan Lin, Yan means language, and Lin means majestic and majestic."
Shen Tang, who had retrieved the disinfectant wipes from the car, was walking towards Yan Lin when he heard the other party's voice and paused for a moment.
Unexpectedly, after returning to this world, the male protagonist's self-introduction has not changed. She thought that the other party would have some new introduction when he met the female protagonist. Shen Tang secretly twitched the corners of her mouth, but did not stop holding the medicine in her hand.
"Is your last name Yan?" Madam Gu looked at the young man in front of her thoughtfully. There was indeed a big family with the last name Yan in the capital, but the difference between the two places was more than just a few kilometers, so there was probably no relationship between them.
"In that case, you can take our last name from now on, and be called Gu Yanlin, how about that?"
Yan Lin didn't say anything. It was just a surname. Whether it was Yan or Gu, it made no difference to him. After all, this was never what he wanted.
Seeing that Yan Lin remained silent, Madam Gu thought that he was shy and didn't speak, so she didn't force him. Instead, she pulled her daughter in front of him and said, "Rou Rou is your sister from now on. You must protect her well."
Sister? Yan Lin looked at this familiar face, but for a moment he felt a sense of strangeness.
"Rou Rou?" Yan Lin uttered the word hesitantly. Wasn't that person called...
"Xiao Lin, you should come over and meet me too."
As soon as Mrs. Gu finished speaking, Yan Lin's gaze instantly fell on Shen Tang, but when his gaze touched that face, he became a little confused again.
"This little girl is called Lin Tang. She has been helping out at home. If you have any questions in the future, just ask her." Mrs. Gu smiled and rubbed her forehead. "I am old now. I really can't remember some things. Young people still remember them better."
Shen Tang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mrs. Gu is really joking." Perhaps it was because she had once lived with Mrs. Gu as the heroine, she had always treated the Gu couple as her own parents and knew a lot about their habits. This was why she was able to come to the Gu family this time with a new identity.
"Your name is Lin Tang?" The boy's eyes were dark, and Shen Tang felt uneasy for some reason.
She smiled awkwardly: "Yes, Master, is this name ugly?"
Yan Lin stood there staring at her for a long while, until she picked up the medicine in her hand, bent down and wiped the wound on his face. Only then did Yan Lin come back to his senses, and his charming peach blossom eyes met the gaze of the girl in front of him who was a few years older than him.
"Don't move, I'm helping you disinfect and apply medicine." Shen Tang was still not used to the title of "Young Master" for a while. It was a long time after he finished speaking that he added the title of "Young Master" dryly.
She took the cotton swab in her hand and carefully applied the medicine to the corners of Yan Lin's eyes. She couldn't help but mutter in her heart, I clearly paid in advance before entering the game, how come this kid still got injured.
The person in front of him was very close to him. Yan Lin could even clearly see his clear eyes and long eyelashes like butterflies. The person who applied medicine to him so carefully could not be that person.
That person will not be soft-hearted towards him.
Yan Lin suddenly bit her lip hard and her eyelids drooped. Maybe it was just because of the same name.
"Don't bite your lips randomly. I can see that you haven't had water for a few days. If I bite your lips again, they will become bald." Shen Tang was a little helpless. He put down his hands and patted Yan Lin's face slightly unceremoniously, "Be happy."
Yan Lin:......
Shen Tang patiently applied some medicine to the wounds on Yan Lin's face before nodding with satisfaction. "Let's just do this for now. When we get back to Gu's house, we'll have the doctor at home apply some more medicine on you."
Having said that, Shen Tang packed up the medicine in his hand, turned around and was about to leave, but a hand grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Yan Lin didn't expect that he would subconsciously grab the corner of the girl's clothes. After a moment of regret, he opened his lips, "Well, thank you."
"Don't be polite, if you have any problems at home just come and ask me", so when will you let go of my hand?
Shen Tang, with a smile on her face, focused her eyes on Yan Lin's hand that was grabbing the corner of her clothes. Perhaps her gaze was too strong, Yan Lin realized that it was not good for him to grab someone else's clothes with his hand.
"Xiao Lin, A Lin, it's time to go back," Mrs. Gu's gentle voice sounded in the distance. When Shen Tang turned his head, he saw the Gu couple waving at them.
Yan Lin was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "I forgot to take some important things. I will be back soon."
Having said that, the young man started running towards the place where he used to live, but his expression suddenly became gloomy after he turned his back to the Gu couple and others.
Some accounts still need to be settled.
"Madam, Sir, I'll go over and take a look. It would be terrible if Young Master Yan... got into danger." Shen Tangke still remembered the wounds on the male protagonist's face. Needless to say, they were all caused by those brats in the welfare home. Why did this kid go back now? She didn't think those brats' attitude towards him would change.
Thinking of the same thing, Mr. Gu called two bodyguards and shouted, "You two and Xiaolin go over and check the situation. If anyone dares to bully our Gu family, we will teach them a lesson!"
So Shen Tang and the two big men walked towards the residence of these naughty kids in a domineering manner, but before they got close, they heard a sharp scream.
The two bodyguards looked at each other in horror. Could it be that something had happened to the young master?
