Xiao Zhimiao didn't know how long she had been falling. The surrounding area was dark. Her body was getting lighter and lighter, and there was a sound of wind coming from her ears.
"Xiao Yun, go back soon. If you don't go back, the dean will investigate you."
Several children who ran out of the orphanage saw that it was getting dark and ran back in a hurry.
Xiao Zhimiao looked at Xiao Yun, who was only about ten years old in front of him, and stretched out his hand to him, but it passed through his body.
She looked at her hands, which were translucent.
Xiao Zhimiao looked at the surrounding environment. It was evening, winter had just entered, and it was snowing lightly in the sky.
There is a river in front of me, already frozen.
This is a wasteland outside the orphanage, and she often came here like this in the past.
Is this her memory?
If it's her memory, even if the system can project all her memories, she still needs to be present.
At this time, she probably hadn't met Xiao Yun yet.
She turned her attention to Xiao Yun. He was walking slowly towards the orphanage. The other children had already disappeared.
Looking at the handsome and fair little boy in front of him, Xiao Zhimiao smiled unconsciously.
My brother has always had a gentle personality since he was a child, and he never panics no matter what happens.
It was just an accusation from the director of the orphanage, so he definitely wasn't afraid of it.
It gets dark early in the winter, and by this time it is getting dark and getting colder. There is a cold wind blowing in this large wasteland, and there is no place to take shelter from the wind.
Xiao Yun gathered up the clothes that were not thick on his body and quickened his pace a little.
Xiao Zhimiao was walking behind him. Suddenly, he turned around and stared in her direction.
Xiao Zhimiao was startled, watching him walking in her direction. She thought Xiao Yun had seen him, but he penetrated straight through her body and continued walking back.
She turned around and saw a burst of golden light not far away, mixed with a faint red light.
It looks like a magic circle.
Xiao Yun quickly ran towards the shining place, and Xiao Zhimiao also caught up with him.
Taking a closer look, Xiao Zhimiao saw a little baby lying in the magic circle.
Xiao Yun knelt down, took off his coat, wrapped the baby and hugged him.
He held her and looked around. Apart from the cold wind blowing, there was nothing else or anyone.
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Yun held the baby in his arms and rocked it twice, then smiled and poked her fleshy cheek with his finger: "You look like a girl at first sight."
Xiao Zhimiao went up to take a look, and saw that the baby, who was only a few months old, was looking at Xiao Yun with a pair of big round eyes.
This was her when she was a child. Xiao Yun said that he picked her up at the entrance of the orphanage. It seemed that he knew from the beginning that she was not an ordinary child.
She looked at herself as a baby, her eyes were still a little red and her hair was red.
Xiao Yun saw that the child in his arms was neither crying nor fussing, but just looking at him with his eyes open, feeling a feeling of affection in his heart.
"The baby is so good."
Xiao Yun's finger moved to her lips, and she immediately opened her mouth and took a bite of Xiao Yun's finger. She did not let go, biting hard with her baby teeth.
Xiao Zhimiao looked at herself as a baby speechlessly. Has she been so fierce since she was a baby?
Xiao Yun let her bite him, watching the sky getting darker and darker, he hugged her and walked quickly to the orphanage.
When he returned to the orphanage with the child in his arms, the director was already guarding the courtyard at the entrance, holding a long ruler in his hand.
"Where have you gone?"
The dean is a middle-aged woman in her forties who looks very capable and energetic.
Xiao Yun did not explain, and directly handed the baby in his arms to her.
"I found it at the door."
Looking at Xiao Yun's slightly red face from the cold, the dean sighed and hugged the child in his hands.
come over.
"Another injustice. These parents will be reincarnated as pigs and dogs in their next lives."
The dean ignored Xiao Yun and carried the child into the room. Xiao Yun was afraid that the baby's red hair and red eyes would frighten the dean, so he followed him in.
"There was food left in the cafeteria, but it was only cold."
The dean put Zai Zai on his bed and said to Xiao Yun who was following him: "There will be another time, there will be no cold rice."
Xiao Yun went up to see the child, and the dean was unwrapping her swaddling clothes and putting her naked aside.
"It's a girl, no wonder..."
The dean looked at Xiao Yun and pushed him forward: "You're not going to eat yet. After eating, wash up and go to bed."
"Then can I sleep with my sister?" Xiao Yun said.
At this time, the baby's hair and eyes in front of him were black, instead of the red ones he had seen before.
But Xiao Yun didn't think he was being blinded. She must be a special girl.
The dean shook the swaddling clothes and said with a smile, "What, can you take care of her?"
Xiao Yun nodded seriously: "I can."
The dean shook the baby there for a long time, but nothing came out of the swaddling clothes.
"What a damn piggy parent. They won't even leave a dime for their baby."
Xiao Yun immediately said: "I have money."
As he spoke, he took out all his pocket money from his pocket and gave it to the dean.
The dean was just teasing him, so how could he really let a ten-year-old child take care of another child.
She drove Xiao Yun to eat and rummaged through the closet for old clothes for the baby. The most indispensable thing in the orphanage was children's old clothes, especially for babies.
Xiao Zhimiao stood next to her and watched her busy there. He gave her a hot bath and kept chattering.
Half of it was about cursing her non-existent parents.
The remaining half is another mouth to eat in the orphanage.
It would be fine if the children were older, and they could be managed in a unified manner and let the older children play with them. It would not be that troublesome, but babies are a lot more troublesome. They have to drink milk powder, take care of their feces and urine, and the most important thing is the crying of the baby.
"Find you a good family with a conscience."
The dean said while dressing her.
Babies are difficult to take care of, but they are easy to find adoptive homes, as long as there are no major defects.
However, since the establishment of this orphanage, not many families have actually found adoption homes for the children. First, the procedures are complicated and the conditions are high, and second, the adopters are also very picky.
In the days that followed, Xiao Zhimiao began to live in an orphanage.
There were many babies in the orphanage. She listened to the cries of those babies every day, and her eyes and hair turned red and black. Fortunately, she had never been exposed in front of the director and other caregivers.
This is the only orphanage in Beihe City. There are too many children, and it is already strenuous enough to take care of them every day besides taking care of them.
Xiao Yun came to see Xiao Zhimiao every day, watching how the caregivers and aunties fed her and changed her diapers.
"You don't like it here, do you?"
Xiao Yun took little Zhi Miao out of the baby room and went to the yard to bask in the sun.
He put a hat on her head to hide her hair, which occasionally turned red.
But as long as she was with Xiao Yundai, her mood was very stable and her hair never turned red.
"I will be your brother from now on. My name is Xiao Yun. If you follow my surname, I have already given you a name. It is Xiao Zhimiao. You know, my little cicada will be barking in the trees non-stop in the summer. You are too It is quite now."
As he said that, Xiao Yun laughed and imitated Zhizhi's voice to tease her.
But the little baby in his arms still looked at him with an indifferent expression.
Xiao Zhimiao squatted next to her and watched Xiao Yun keep talking to her, but she seemed to be paralyzed. Except for her eyes turning twice when looking at Xiao Yun, she could not even move.
Xiao Yun hugged her and sat on a small stool, looking at her
Xiao Zhi Miao, who was neither crying nor fussing, lowered her voice and said, "Miaomiao, let me tell you a secret. In fact, Xiao Yun is the name I chose myself. My surname is not Xiao."
Xiao Yun said, glancing at the dean who was doing activities with other children in the yard, and said: "I was thrown into the orphanage when I was five years old. I told the dean that my name was Xiao Yun. My parents were very rich, but They don’t want me.”
"When I grow up, I will take you out of here and I will take good care of you."
At a young age, Xiao Yun is more responsible than many adults. He does what he says and really takes good care of little Zhi Miao.
The dean saw that he would prepare milk powder for little Zhi Miao, wash diapers, and wash her dirty clothes. Although his movements were not as nimble as those of the nursing staff, there was a reason for everything, and he was very serious.
After Xiao Zhi Miao could hobble and walk, the dean no longer cared about him and left Xiao Zhi Miao completely under his care.
During this period, several people wanted to adopt Xiao Yun, but Xiao Yun did not go. Even if he was forcibly sent out, he would still find a way to come back.
Xiao Zhimiao also waited until she was three years old before anyone wanted to adopt her.
"Miaomiao is the most well-behaved and quiet child among us. She never cries or makes trouble."
The dean did his best to praise every child adopted by Xiangzhong and wanted to find a home for the children.
Xiao Zhi Miao is the most eye-catching among the children waiting for adoption. Apart from being cute, she is really too quiet. But unlike those silent and timid children, she always has an expressionless face and automatically exudes Air conditioning.
How could a little child have such a temperament?
In this way, little Zhi Miao was adopted back and forth several times without success.
The dean looked at the child who had not cried once since he picked it up, and just shook his head and sighed. Xiao Yun's child was saying in her ears every day that he would raise Miaomiao in the future, and Miaomiao didn't like to go to his new home. , he can take good care of her.
Seeing that these two children had the chance to be adopted, but could only stay here, the dean no longer cared about them.
Xiao Zhimiao stood in the courtyard of the orphanage, watching time passing quickly and the seasons changing.
Almost every scene shows Xiao Zhimiao and Xiao Yun together, and he patiently teaches her to start talking and walk.
In fact, she would have left a long time ago. When she was pushed off the bed by a girl, she got up on her own, but in the end she lay back on the ground. As soon as she lay down, Xiao Yun came in.
Xiao Yun hurriedly picked her up from the ground and coaxed her distressedly.
She has been so thoughtful since she was a child. Perhaps, in her subconscious, she still has the intelligence and perception of an adult.
She often wanted to see Xiao Yun coaxing her so gently and feeling sorry for her.
