Leng Xiao took his chopsticks and said, "Grab it with your hands."
The little beggar was startled for a moment, but when he saw that she didn't look angry, he grabbed a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
He didn't even chew much, so he swallowed it all, and then devoured it hungrily.
Leng Xiao ordered another plate of dumplings, let him eat the staple food, and poured him a glass of water.
Looking at the little beggar, she suddenly had an idea in her mind.
After he finished eating, Leng Xiao said: "I will take you to a place where you will have food every day and will not be beaten. There is only one condition. You must treat me as your mother. If anyone asks you If you say anything, just hide and don’t say anything.”
There is food to eat every day, which is a huge attraction for a child who has been hungry for a long time.
He knew that the greatest dangers in life were hunger and being beaten.
He agreed without thinking.
As long as he has enough to eat, it doesn't matter if he is beaten, he is willing to die.
Leng Xiao took him to buy clothes and went to the bathhouse to take a bath.
He was very thin. After taking off his clothes, his ribs were exposed one by one. He was short, sallow and thin, and severely malnourished.
Leng Xiao felt a little uncomfortable.
After bathing, I briefly treated his wounds, put on new clothes and shoes, and trimmed his hair, which was okay.
Just too thin.
He had never worn such good clothes or such good shoes, and he was very frightened. Leng Xiao held his hand, and he did not dare to move or breathe.
"Listen, your name is Leng Tianen. This is your name. When someone asks you what your name is, just say it." Leng Xiao said.
"Oh." He still looked embarrassed and wanted to withdraw his hand.
But he was obviously a little greedy for warmth. He didn't know it felt like someone holding hands before.
Leng Xiao knelt down and looked at him, "Call me mother and come listen."
The little beggar didn't dare to look at her or call out. At this moment, he was wearing new clothes and his stomach was full, just like in a dream.
"You have to learn to bark, otherwise you won't have food to eat in the future." Leng Xiao threatened him.
He was a little anxious and blurted out, "Mom!"
This cry made Leng Xiao burst into tears on the spot.
She had actually been waiting for the little turtle egg to call her mother, but she knew that there might not be a chance.
She wasn't sure whether this fake show was a redemption for Leng Tianen, but for her, at this moment, it definitely was.
She held Leng Tianen's hand and walked back. The road was bustling with people, and Leng Xiao felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart. She thought that as long as she was still in this time and space, she would probably never let go of Leng Tianen's hand again.
A black horse ran towards them, and the crowd moved out of the way to make way. Leng Xiao pulled Leng Tianen and walked to the side. When he looked up, he saw that the person sitting on the black horse was Nangong Yitian.
He was tall and dressed in brocade clothes. He was cold but could not hide his extraordinary handsome appearance. His black dragon-embroidered cloak was lifted up and he rode past her. His cold eyes fell on her face, and there was a flash of light. And passed.
Leng Xiao looked at his retreating back and couldn't look away for a long time. Only when he couldn't see her did she dare to look at him so boldly.
She didn't know if she would still be as excited for a man as she was now, but losing him would definitely be the most regretful thing in her life.
The people on the roadside recognized Nangong Yitian and said ecstatically, "The Crown Prince is really majestic."
There are also girls who stare blankly at their retreating figures, as if their peace of mind has been lost.
She took Leng Tianen back to the East Palace. The door was heavily guarded. Leng Tianen shrank several times before entering. Finally, Leng Xiao told him, no matter what happens, I will definitely protect you.
With this guarantee, Leng Tianen followed her through the door.
