The wall clock on the wall ticked until eight o'clock, but there was still no sign of He Yang coming back.
In the empty living room, it seemed that even the sound of shallow breathing echoed. The dazzling lights rendered the room as bright as day, and Lin Mu's thin figure was reflected on the window, embellishing the dense night.
The sentence I try to come back before dinner quietly became a barb in his heart.
Every time he met Xia Wenke, he suffered a disastrous defeat, but why did he give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?As long as he gets Xia Wenke's address, he can completely get rid of Shen Yuan's control, and he doesn't have to worry about who is better in Brother Shen's heart...
Pain came from the palm, Lin Mu gritted his teeth and lowered his head, his shoulders trembled slightly.
He was ashamed of himself for having such vicious thoughts, his reason tore his emotions into pieces, and his soul suffered from overwhelming pain.
Suddenly, the cell phone rang from the sofa, Lin Mu's eyes were red, and he turned the wheelchair to the living room from the window.
Picking up the phone, the incoming call interface displays: Green Welfare Institute.
The nun's voice was tinged with dignity, and through the receiver he could even imagine the nun's frowning face with two nasolabial folds as deep as a moat.
"Lin, there is something I need to discuss with you, is it convenient for you now?"
"...Convenient." Lin Mu's throat tightened, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down: "You say."
"When Xiaonian was playing with other children in the orphanage, he accidentally fell off the slide and got a cut on his forehead."
"What's going on, is it serious? Where are you now, did you go to the hospital?" Lin Mu asked anxiously with flustered eyes.
"Lin, calm down first." The nun's voice was steady, and she spoke clearly: "We have arrived at the central hospital, and Xiaonian is out of danger. The wound is not deep, but..."
"Just what?" Lin Mu's nerves tensed, and his palms were sweating.
"It's just that Xiaonian has a special constitution and a severe coagulation disorder. The doctor suggested to help him contact an adoptive family as soon as possible. His condition is not suitable for continuing to live in an orphanage."
Lin Mu's mind went blank, his lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.
"Lin, are you listening?"
"I'm listening," Lin Mu suddenly came back to his senses, pursing his lips with a serious expression: "Your idea is to let me adopt Xiaonian?"
The nun sighed, her voice was a little tired: "You know the situation in the orphanage very well. It is very difficult for a child like Xiaonian who can remember things at the age of eight or nine to find a suitable home."
"En." Lin Mu responded lightly, and after a long silence, he said, "I'm going to the Central Hospital now, and we'll discuss it in detail after we meet."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mu found a black windbreaker from the closet. After putting it on, he wanted to call his assistant, but he glanced down at the time on the phone screen. After hesitating for a moment, he clicked on the car-hailing app.
It's really not safe to trouble the girl to run at this time.
The taxi driver stepped on the accelerator, and He Yang stopped under the apartment building.
After meeting Wu En, he deliberately delayed outside for a few hours in order to pretend to be looking for Xia Wenke.
As the elevator slowly ascended, He Yang suddenly felt an inexplicable anxiety. He couldn't wait to see Lin Mu's expression, joyful, wronged, sad, coquettish...
He didn't know when it started, but he became obsessed with the feeling that when a light was turned on at home, someone was waiting under the light.
"Di-"
The fingerprint was unlocked successfully, He Yang adjusted his expression and pushed open the door. In the next second, the fantasy scene was shattered.
The light in the living room was still on, but Lin Mu's cotton slippers were placed at the entrance, silently indicating the fact that the house was empty.
He Yang frowned, held the doorknob and turned to go out, the system reminded in due course:
[You are now looking for the target of the strategy, what is the point of coming back late? 】
He Yang paused, pursed his lips and remained silent.
It is undeniable that what the system said is very reasonable. Everything he has done so far is to lower Lin Mu's expectations of him. If he catches up now, it will not be conducive to the advancement of the mission.
[The system can sense whether the life safety of the target is threatened, you can rest assured. 】
He Yang closed the door calmly, changed his shoes and walked into the living room with an unkind expression: "I'll open the door to ventilate the room, can't I?"
【……Row. 】
It was almost early morning when Lin Mu completed the hospital procedures. Xiao Nian, with a thick gauze wrapped around his forehead, took Lin Mu's hand and walked along the quiet corridor of the hospital.
The daily affairs of the Green Welfare Institute are heavy. As the dean, the nun had to rush back before dawn. The doctor originally suggested that Xiao Nian be hospitalized for a night of observation, but he seemed to be extremely resistant to the hospital and refused to stay. In the end, Lin Mu could only temporarily Take care of him for a few days.
"Let me push the wheelchair for you." Xiaonian stared at Lin Mu with dark eyes, and his tone was exceptionally calm.
After only a few days of seeing each other, he seemed to be a different person. His stubborn temper was restrained, sharp edges and corners were smoothed out, and his attitude towards Lin Mu was also quite different.
"No need." Lin Mu pinched his cheek and said with a smile, "Want to go home with me?"
Xiao Nian nodded, a trace of imperceptible joy appeared in his eyes.
He Yang sat on the sofa in the living room with his laptop in his arms, and ignored the sound of the door opening from the entrance.
It wasn't until Xiaonian's childish laughter reached his ears that he raised his head with a frown, and looked at the two figures, one big and one small, in front of him without saying a word.
After a while, He Yang narrowed his eyes, and said in an unbelievable tone, "It's fine if you ran out without even saying hello, and now you brought a child home in the middle of the night?"
Lin Mu lowered his eyelashes, and explained in a low voice with guilt: "Brother Shen, the incident happened suddenly, and I didn't have time..."
"Brother Lin Mu came back so late, and you didn't even call him, why are you attacking him now?"
"..."
"..."
The unique tone of a child is very clear in the middle of the night, and He Yang's temples are throbbing. In his cognition, an eight or nine-year-old child is equivalent to five hundred noisy ducks.
"You plan to let him live at home?" He Yang closed his notebook, frowning.
"Well...he is injured now, and the orphanage is not suitable for living in, so I want to let him stay for a few days first, and then think of other ways."
After Lin Mu finished speaking hesitantly, he didn't dare to look up at He Yang's expression, let alone mention the matter of adoption.
He Yang stared at the two of them. After a long while, he stood up without saying a word, and brushed shoulders with Lin Mu with his coat: "The company will be busy these days, I asked the housekeeping company to send someone to take care of you." Diet and daily life, the driver will pick you up on the date of follow-up consultation."
Lin Mu's fingertips trembled, his eyes raised his head in a panic, but he only had time to catch He Yang's leaving back.
"Did I say something wrong..." Xiaonian lowered his head, rubbing the hem of his clothes anxiously.
Lin Mu withdrew his gaze, sighed softly, and said bitterly, "No, I overestimated myself."
He clearly knew how disgusted Shen Du was towards children, but he still couldn't help testing his bottom line.It's ridiculous to say that when a person has longed for something for too long, even if he really gets it, he will worry about gains and losses, and repeatedly confirm whether he is favored.
The result is predictable.
In the empty living room, it seemed that even the sound of shallow breathing echoed. The dazzling lights rendered the room as bright as day, and Lin Mu's thin figure was reflected on the window, embellishing the dense night.
