With the director’s permission, Cheng Su stayed at the orphanage and played with the children. It made her feel as if she had returned to her own childhood, where she also played wildly with the kids at the orphanage.
Seeing that each of the children was a half-grown kid, Cheng Su consulted the director again and spent money to buy many pastries and candies to distribute to each of the children, making them ecstatic and circling around Cheng Su.
Seeing them happy made Cheng Su happy too. After all, children are really easy to please.
As the sun gradually leaned westward, Cheng Su sat on a bench in the playground, resting and watching the children cheer in the distance. Not far away, a little girl was watching her quietly, biting her finger.
Cheng Su beckoned her over, and after hesitating for a mont, the child happily ran over.
"What’s your na? Why aren’t you playing with the other boys and girls?" Cheng Su asked, letting her sit beside her.
"My na is Yuanyuan. They don’t want to play with ," the little girl said with her head down.
"Why is that?"
"Because I cry a lot."
Cheng Su chuckled and said, "Then you shouldn’t cry. Crying makes your face unpretty!"
Yuanyuan nodded, then looked up and asked, "Auntie, are you here to adopt a child? Can you adopt ?"
"Why do you ask that?" Seeing the child’s eager expression, Cheng Su’s heart ached a little.
"Last month, soone ca and took my roommate, and now they have parents. Yuanyuan wants parents too." Yuanyuan looked at her with hopeful eyes, "Can Auntie be Yuanyuan’s mom?"
Cheng Su hugged her and said, "I’m sorry, Auntie can’t yet. I’ve never been a mother, and I’m afraid I can’t be a good mom to Yuanyuan."
"You can’t?" Yuanyuan’s eyes dimd.
Cheng Su added, "Yuanyuan is so adorable; soone more suitable than Auntie will co to be Yuanyuan’s mom."
"Really?" She tilted her head, but there was no longer any anticipation in her eyes.
Cheng Su’s heart felt sour, she touched her hair and said, "Really."
She can sponsor, but she can’t adopt. She doesn’t even have a child herself. What would happen if she adopted a child and then had her own in the future?
If it weren’t for that, she would have taken Little Cheng Su ho already.
In the evening, after dinner, Cheng Su indeed stayed in the sa room with Little Cheng Su.
The little guy lay on the small bed, her eyes wide open, not sleeping. When she saw Cheng Su looking at her, she also looked back ah-ah.
"Why aren’t you sleeping yet?" Cheng Su glanced at her watch and said, "It’s already ten o’clock."
Little Cheng Su flailed her arms and legs, babbling ah-ah, drooling.
Cheng Su’s heart softened, and she picked her up, placing her on her own bed, then lay on her side and talked to her face-to-face.
"Xiao Susu, you have to grow up healthy and happy, you have to have an open and lively personality. Even if people abandon you, it’s no big deal. They don’t want us, and we don’t want them. In the future, we will definitely make them regret leaving us, right?"
"Ah-ah."
Cheng Su extended a finger, and Xiao Susu grabbed her hand, trying to put it in her mouth.
She quickly drew it back and said, "No biting, there are lots of germs on fingernails."
As if she understood, Xiao Susu stopped trying to bite and just held onto her hand, looking at her.
Realizing that her younger self was so adorable, Cheng Su couldn’t help but poke her cheek, making her giggle, which made her smile as well, "You really are a tough little one."
It’s truly amazing, talking to the younger version of herself, it feels just like making a sci-fi movie.
