Rebirth Miyin

Chapter 96

Ling Chen has been staying in the orphanage since he could remember.The small white building, the red wall, the old toys, and the nagging of the dean's mother again and again.In such an environment, he had to learn to compete with those older children for the only snacks or candies, in order to find a way to satisfy his yearning for those who were nothing in the eyes of ordinary children.That was all his childhood was, not exactly happy, but free.

When he was in class with the children, he fantasized about the world outside the wall more than once, searching for the memory of the outside world that he might have left before he entered the orphanage, but it became more and more blurred.

Ever since he knew that he was completely abandoned by his mother at the gate of the orphanage, he never asked when his mother would pick him up, nor why he was sent here.These are untouchable places in his young mind. He clearly mentioned that he would feel sad, so he never asked, or even thought about it.The accumulation of too many hollows made him look much quieter and precocious than ordinary children.

In the orphanage, Ling Chen was the prettiest child among them. When he was young, many parents who came to adopt their children wanted to take him home, but he avoided them all.He knows that he has no home, and he doesn't need to have a home. At this time, the only concept of home for him is abandonment.

The dean's mother once stroked his head and smiled gently: "Xiaochen, believe in the dean's mother, you will be very happy in the future."

Ling Chen just nodded slightly. At the age of seven, he didn't know much about the word "happiness", it was just a subconscious nod and fantasy.

This kind of life is like 15 years.When he had to leave the orphanage as an adult, he didn't feel much regret.More is the loss of living alone in the future, but he knows that he must live well.

And Ling Chen's understanding of family, affection, and love in the past 18 years was completely overturned the night he met Xiao Shengyang.Many years later, he even thought more than once that maybe the "happiness" that the Dean's mother said at that time was not just to comfort him.

After leaving the orphanage, Ling Chen's life was not good, he could only support himself by doing odd jobs desperately, but even so, he held his own little pride and was unwilling to bow his head to pray for anything, because this In his opinion, it is the only thing he owns now. Maybe this kind of thing is a useless burden in the eyes of many poor children.

That night, he didn't know why he rushed over to help Xiao Shengyang. Before that, he always felt that it was because he couldn't understand this kind of drama of bullying the few with the more. After all, he would inevitably experience this kind of thing in the orphanage.But thinking about it later, maybe I was shocked by Xiao Shengyang's fierce aura at that time. It was something he had always yearned for, but it was also the last thing an orphan should have.So he helped Xiao Shengyang recklessly, forgetting the fact that he basically didn't have much skill.

Although they beat someone and were beaten, fortunately, they won in the end.And the last impression left on him by the "battle" of two people side by side was the darkness after the pain in the back of his neck.Of course, at that time he didn't think he was going to die, there was no reason, it was just that certain.

When he woke up, it seemed that everything was different, and it even made him a little unacceptable - the kind and generous housekeeper, the Xiao couple who asked about his health, and Xiao Shengyang who came back to bring him cakes every day.All these concerns made him feel overwhelmed.And it wasn't until half a month later that he knew who he had helped.

Ling Chen didn't know why the Xiao family treated him so well. In his opinion, such insignificant help could not be exchanged for these things.He also tried to leave Xiao's house quietly, but within two days of leaving, he was picked up by Xiao Baicheng.

Afterwards, probably to appease his anxiety, Xiao Shengyang took two hours to talk to him every night.Gradually, the two talked more and more. Although Xiao Shengyang looked a little arrogant, he never hesitated to share some new and interesting things with him.Not long after, Chen Yun recognized him as a godson, and Ling Chen also changed from a helpless child to the second young master of the Xiao family.

He once asked Chen Yun why he wanted him to stay.

Chen Yun smiled and helped him tidy up the collar of his pajamas, and said softly: "I have always hoped to have another child, so that the house can be more lively. You helped Sheng Yang, and he was willing to take you home. This is the fate of our mother and son." Don't be unhappy after I told you, your father checked your previous affairs, you are a good boy, we all like you, so I hope you can stay. You see, with Shengyang's temperament, if he is willing to bring you back It means that he likes you very much. Xiaochen, there are some things you couldn’t change before, but it doesn’t mean you can’t have them in the future. Of course, we don’t force you, you can think about it slowly, but you can’t just run away from home.”

At that time, Ling Chen just stared at Chen Yun in a daze, until she said good night to him, but didn't say a word.

If the acquaintance of Ling Chen and Xiao Shengyang was a turning point in life, then getting to know Song Yan is the continuation of this turning point.It was also an incident at the beginning of this continuation line that made Ling Chen formally recognize the Xiao couple as parents.

The year he brought Ling Chen home, Xiao Shengyang had just entered his first year of freshman year. Although he was not particularly busy with his studies, the requirements of living on campus still prevented him from going back at will.After Chen recuperated for a period of time, Xiao Baicheng found a few good tutors and began to teach Ling Chen alone, planning to let him go to college in a year.After all, in the living environment of the Xiao family, it doesn't matter if you don't have a diploma, but you have to learn how to behave.

Ling Chen also met Song Yan in the winter of this year.This day Xiao Shengyang had no class in the afternoon, so he called Ling Chen who was in class at home to eat hot pot at the school.Ling Chen checked the time, and agreed to come down, and the two scheduled to meet at the door of the hotpot restaurant.He knew that since Xiao Shengyang went to college, his pocket money was almost zero, and he would take him out for a meal once in a while if he earned some money. He didn't need to be particular about it, and Ling Chen was very satisfied.

Not wanting to make Xiao Shengyang spend too much money, after class, Ling Chen took the bank card given by Xiao Baicheng and asked the driver to drive him to the agreed place.Because the seats were reserved in advance, the two of them quickly ate the steaming hot pot under the arrangement of the waiter.

"Is the class going well?" Xiao Shengyang asked while pouring mutton into the pot.

"It's okay, you can ask if you don't understand." Ling Chen helped him stir the soup, after getting along these days, he also understood Xiao Shengyang's temperament.Although he looks cold, he is very easy-going with his own people.

"Well, if you don't teach well, I'll ask Dad to replace you." Xiao Shengyang has more experience in private tutoring than Ling Chen, and he also knows that sometimes it's not that he doesn't teach well, it's just that the teaching method is not suitable.

"It's okay now." Ling Chen scooped up a piece of tofu and put it in the bowl.The teachers the Xiao family hired for him were very strict and taught complicated things, but he found them very interesting, and they were all areas he had never been exposed to.

Xiao Shengyang looked at him and refilled his drinks, "What do you think about the future?"

Ling Chen shook his head, "I didn't expect to be able to study again, so what are my thoughts?" He didn't shy away from talking to Xiao Shengyang, not to mention that he was so old, Xiao Shengyang was the first friend he could talk to.

"You can think about it slowly. Mom means to send you abroad. Although the study there is a little harder, the environment is very free. Dad wants to see what you mean. If you want to stay in China, you can go to the same school as me. A few days ago, Chen Yun called his son to see if he knew what Ling Chen was thinking, but Xiao Shengyang didn't know anything, so he just took the opportunity to ask today.

"Anything is good." In his opinion, as long as he can still read, that's good.

While the two were talking, a person suddenly sat in the seat next to Xiao Shengyang.This was the first time Ling Chen and Song Yan met. No one had any comments or thoughts. To him, Song Yan was just a stranger.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Shengyang was not surprised when he saw Song Yan, he just asked a casual question, and asked the waiter to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks.

"This class was so boring, I ran away. I thought I'd book a seat first and then find you, but I didn't expect that you wouldn't bring me with you." Song Yan took the new tableware and added some hot dishes to the menu .

Xiao Shengyang ignored him, picked up the cooked meat slices and put them on Ling Chen's plate, "Eat more."

"En." Ling Chen lowered his eyes, eating what Xiao Shengyang gave him.During this period of time, the words he heard the most were "eat more". Perhaps because of the lack of nutrition in the orphanage, Ling Chen appeared to be much thinner than his peers, and Steward Liang and Chen Yun also changed their ways to give him food. , but the effect is not obvious.

Song Yan looked at Ling Chen, who was sitting across from him with his head bowed and silent, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, and nudged Xiao Shengyang next to him with his elbow, "Who is this? Don't introduce me either."

Xiao Shengyang put down his chopsticks, and said lightly, "My brother, Ling Chen." Then he said to Ling Chen, "He is Song Yan."

Ling Chen raised his eyes and nodded slightly, as a greeting.He didn't know to what extent Song Yan and Xiao Shengyang were friends, and he didn't want to say anything more. Anyone who could have a relationship with Xiao Shengyang must be rich and powerful.He has a psychological rejection of this kind of person.

Seeing that Ling Chen didn't talk much, Song Yan threw the conversation to Xiao Shengyang, "Cousin?"

Xiao Shengyang glanced at him, "My dear."

"You're kidding, who doesn't know, you are the only child in your Xiao family." Song Yan didn't know Ling Chen's situation, and just teased as usual.

"There will be in the future." Xiao Shengyang didn't want to get entangled in this topic, "Eat yours quickly."

Letting Song Yan say this, Ling Chen also lost his appetite, but he didn't want to spoil Xiao Shengyang's happiness, so the three of them finished their dinner one after another.

Later, under Song Yan's constant questioning, Xiao Shengyang explained Ling Chen's background to him.Of course, some parts are still omitted, such as why Ling Chen was left at the gate of the orphanage.

After hearing what he said, Song Yan frowned, "Are you sure he didn't approach you on purpose?"

Children from a family like theirs are more alert to many things than ordinary people, and their minds are naturally heavier than ordinary children.Song Yan didn't have any malicious intentions when he asked this question, but just reminded his friends in a timely manner.

Xiao Shengyang raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "Do you think I'm nine years old? God knows those people will tie me up to the construction site, and Xiaochen just happened to pass by. Besides, my dad nodded, so what's the problem?"

Song Yan shrugged and said nothing.But his first impression of Ling Chen was indeed not good, and Ling Chen didn't like him very much from his intuition.

If Ling Chen and Xiao Shengyang belonged to brothers who hit it off, then he and Song Yan were enemies of horoscope.

Ling Chen didn't like Song Yan's seemingly casual but actually superior demeanor.As the "child of a rich family" in Ling Chen's eyes, unlike Xiao Shengyang, he has always been unwilling to get closer to Song Yan.It seems that no matter how reconciled between the two, the gap cannot be crossed.

And Song Yan also didn't like Ling Chen's proud attitude, something that a child who came out of the orphanage shouldn't have, but it showed in Ling Chen as if it had grown in his bones.Some people say that if you feel inferior for too long, you will become arrogant, and Song Yan concluded that Ling Chen belongs to this kind of person.At the same time, he also found that Ling Chen was not like this at all in front of Xiao Shengyang, and he would only show it when he was dealing with "outsiders".

Therefore, every time two people meet, it ends in unhappiness.It was okay at the beginning, they didn't talk much to each other, Xiao Shengyang didn't care about them, most of them left after eating.

Later, Song Yan always spoke with a bit of insinuation intentionally or unintentionally. He was not usually that kind of person, but when he saw Ling Chen, he felt a little out of control.At first, even if Ling Chen understood what he meant, he wouldn't argue with him.But later, Song Yan also became anxious, and would refute a few words.In the end, the two simply quarreled on the street. Sometimes Xiao Shengyang got annoyed and would call a car to leave, no matter when they quarreled.

Song Yan thought he was reasonable at first, but as time went on, he didn't know why he was arguing with Ling Chen, but he couldn't help but want to provoke him.Ling Chen wasn't a person who liked to quarrel, but he couldn't care about those when he was pushed.

This kind of quarrel lasted for a whole year, until what happened later, the flames of war between the two were completely extinguished overnight.
