“Uncle Gesang, is there something you want to tell me?” Lin Suisui asked.
Gesang’s gaze was simply too obvious.
His conflicted feelings were practically written all over his face. It was impossible for Lin Suisui not to notice.
Gesang cautiously asked, “Suisui, do you want to leave this place?”
The moment he said that, the other two people already understood what he meant.
Tree: “Hey, from the way he’s talking, he wants to send your sister away. Aren’t you worried?”
Lin Sui’an: “It doesn’t matter. Wherever Sister goes, I will go.”
Without hesitation, Lin Suisui answered, “No. This place is very good.”
For the first time, someone said that a slum was a good place, and that person was a little child who should have been loved and cherished by everyone.
Gesang felt terrible inside. Their group of people did not know when they would close their eyes forever. To them, it did not matter where they were.
But the little child was different. She deserved something better.
“Suisui, these past few days, I went to S City,” Gesang said. “I contacted the Child Protection Association in the Central City.”
“Child Protection Association?”
Gesang nodded. “They should send people here soon to find you.”
“Then what about Daddy?” Lin Suisui asked.
Gesang looked at Heiyun. Those eyes that once held no emotion were now filled entirely with the figure of a small child.
He always felt that Heiyun was different from before. He was quieter than he used to be, and there were subtle changes in his eyes.
It was as if he was no longer as simple-minded as before.
Heiyun stared firmly at Lin Suisui.
“Stay with little cub.”
He would always stay by the little cub’s side.
Lin Sui’an followed and said, “I will also always stay by Sister’s side.”
“Then what about Uncle Gesang and Uncle Cheng Fifteen?” Lin Suisui continued asking.
The little child’s clear eyes looked at the two of them, filled with expectation.
Gesang and Cheng Fifteen both looked away one after another. Their answers were destined to disappoint the little child.
After a moment of silence, Cheng Fifteen’s gentle voice sounded first.
“Suisui, your uncles have stayed here for many years and have already gotten used to it. We don’t want to go somewhere else.”
“But Suisui is used to it too,” Lin Suisui replied.
Gesang said, “Suisui, this place is dangerous. It is not suitable for you.”
Lin Suisui said, “Is it because of those impurities? Suisui is very strong. Suisui can destroy them.”
The little child lowered her head deeply.
“Suisui will try her best not to cause trouble for you. Can you not chase Suisui away?”
The careful and timid tone in her voice made everyone’s hearts ache.
Gesang felt pain in his heart.
“Suisui, you have never been our trouble. You are our little angel.”
“Then can Suisui stay?” Lin Suisui asked hopefully.
Gesang closed his eyes.
“No.”
Lin Suisui’s expression became lonely. Her eyes slowly turned red.
“Suisui is angry. Suisui won’t talk to you anymore.”
Lin Suisui ran back to her room alone and closed the door. Her tiny body curled up inside the blanket.
Heiyun immediately followed her.
Gesang let out a deep sigh. The little child’s red eyes at the end almost made him give in.
But he couldn’t.
After learning that Lin Suisui seemed to have awakened the healing-type faith power, he became even more determined to send her away.
He and Cheng Fifteen silently sat on the chairs.
If they could, they wished that Suisui could live forever in peace and happiness.
Heiyun did not enter the room. He stood guard outside the door.
Inside the room—
“Sister, do you want me to tie those two people up and bring them with us?”
As long as Lin Suisui gave the order, he could immediately tie them up.
“Shh!”
Lin Suisui crawled out from under the blanket.
The little child’s eyes were still red, but there was no longer any sadness on her face.
She peeked outside the window.
Uncle Gesang and the others had already left.
She originally wanted to pretend to be sad and make them soften their hearts, but it seemed like it didn’t work.
“Don’t tie them up. I know Uncle Gesang and the others are doing this for my own good.”
“But Sister is sad.”
Lin Sui’an’s world could not understand many things. He only knew sadness, pain, and anger.
When he was sad, he cried.
When he was angry, he would hit or scold.
“Anyone or anything that makes Sister sad, Sui’an can help Sister solve it.”
Lin Sui’an’s gaze was too straightforward.
The slender young man crouched beside Lin Suisui’s bed, staring at her quietly.
Through those eyes, Lin Suisui saw herself.
There was only her in his eyes. Nothing else existed.
Lin Suisui blinked.
An’an seemed a little strange.
The little child lay weakly on the blanket.
“It’s okay. I’m not sad anymore.”
Although she was still a little upset, she could slowly deal with it by herself.
“Suisui knows An’an cares about me.”
The little child gently touched Lin Sui’an’s head.
Wow, it was so soft.
No wonder Daddy and the others always liked touching her head.
“Even if Suisui goes to a new place in the future, Suisui can find a way to come back and visit Uncle Gesang and the others.”
The young man rubbed against Lin Suisui’s palm dependently.
Lin Suisui couldn’t help but touch his head a few more times.
“Okay, Suisui wants to rest now.”
Lin Sui’an helped cover Lin Suisui with the blanket.
“I’ll stay here with Sister.”
Lin Suisui said, “No need. If someone watches me sleep, I won’t be able to fall asleep.”
Afraid that he wouldn’t believe her, Lin Suisui immediately closed her eyes.
The little child yawned.
“Suisui is really sleepy.”
Lin Sui’an lowered his eyes.
“Then Sister, I’ll leave first.”
Lin Suisui waved at him.
Lin Sui’an stood up and walked outside.
The little child, already about to fall asleep under the blanket, still couldn’t help but call out:
“An’an, you also have to be happy every day.”
Lin Sui’an smiled and answered:
“If Sister is happy, An’an will be happy.”
Lin Sui’an closed the door and happened to meet Heiyun, who was still guarding outside.
“You aren’t going inside to see Sister?”
“Isn’t this the person who always wanted to stick close to Sister?”
Heiyun lowered his head.
“No. Little cub wants to be alone for a while.”
Lin Sui’an found an empty spot and sat down.
When Lin Sui’an merged with the tree, he was fifteen years old. After that, throughout the next six hundred years, he had always kept the appearance of a young boy.
His slightly childish face carried a coldness that did not match his age.
“Sometimes, your eyes look a lot like little cub’s.”
Lin Sui’an smiled.
“I am Sister’s younger brother. Of course I look like her.”
“No. Just now, you didn’t.”
Heiyun replied.
“You wanted to kill someone.”
Lin Sui’an looked up.
The man still had the same stiff expression.
The boy’s messy hair covered his gloomy eyes.
He smiled.
“No. An’an only punishes people who bully Sister.”
Heiyun continued.
“I smelled the scent of blood on you.”
Lin Sui’an said casually:
“Occasionally, some people who don’t know better pass by and become fertilizer for the tree.”
Heiyun stopped talking.
Under the sunlight, unlike Lin Suisui’s rosy and fair appearance, Lin Sui’an’s skin was so pale it was almost transparent.
The childlike innocence that only appeared in front of Lin Suisui disappeared completely.
The darkness hidden deep inside him slowly spread out.
“Sometimes, your eyes don’t look like those of a fifteen-year-old boy.”
Lin Sui’an said:
“Don’t worry. You don’t need to test me. I won’t harm Sister.”
“But you, General Yun Yan, after recovering your memories, why are you still staying here?”
Lin Sui’an’s dark eyes stared at Heiyun.
“What exactly are you planning to do with Sister?”
