“Sui’an?”
Several voices flashed through Lin Suisui’s mind.
“Big sister, do they all hate me?”
“Of course not. Tianci is a treasure given to us by the heavens. Big sister loves our Tianci the most.”
“I don’t want this name. I want to be called Lin Sui’an. I wish big sister peace every year.”
‘Beep! Program error!’
“Peace every year?”
Lin Suisui covered her chest.
A wave of pain spread from her heart.
Why did hearing this name make her heart ache?
But clearly, there were no memories of it in her mind.
“Little cub, don’t cry.”
A rough hand wiped away the tears from her face.
Only then did Lin Suisui realize that she had started crying.
Heiyun and Cheng Fifteen were looking at her with worry.
“I’m fine, Dad.”
The strange feeling in her heart slowly calmed down.
The sour sadness faded away like a tide.
Lin Suisui held Heiyun’s hand.
However, the little cub’s words did not calm the two of them.
A trace of coldness flashed in Heiyun’s eyes.
Sui’an?
How dare he make my little cub sad?
Forget what kind of “An” he is. He’ll pull out that entire tree from its roots.
Lin Suisui suddenly lost interest.
“Dad, I want to go rest.”
“I’ll carry the little cub back to her room.”
Heiyun carried Lin Suisui back.
Lin Suisui lay on her small bed.
There were fluffy toys on the bed that Cheng Fifteen had found for her.
Heiyun gently patted the little cub’s back again and again.
Although he looked like a rough and fierce man, his movements were extremely gentle.
From not daring to touch her at the beginning, to now being able to comfort the little cub to sleep.
Under Heiyun’s soothing touch, Lin Suisui slowly closed her eyes.
…
In the dream, several figures appeared.
Lin Suisui could not see their faces clearly.
She only knew that they were very happy.
One old man shouted loudly:
“Our Lin family finally has a chubby grandson!”
“This is a gift from heaven!”
“This child will be called Lin Tianci.”
But the scene suddenly changed.
The man’s expression quickly turned cold.
“What kind of heavenly gift?”
“He’s just a fool. It’s all because of you, you worthless woman.”
A thick wooden stick hit two children.
The older child tightly protected the younger one underneath.
“Little brother, from now on, only the two of us are left.”
“Don’t be afraid. Big sister will protect you.”
“Tianci, stay at home obediently. Big sister will come back after work.”
……
“Ha…”
Lin Suisui gasped and woke up from her dream.
Who was that little boy in her dream?
Why did seeing him make her heart hurt?
“Lin Tianci…”
The little cub troubledly patted her head.
She still couldn’t remember anything.
“Lin Tianci, Sui’an, Lin Tianci, Sui’an…”
…
Because she didn’t rest well at night, Lin Suisui spent the entire next day feeling sleepy.
She lazily lay on the table.
This was the eighteenth yawn the little cub had made.
The little cub had been strange since yesterday.
Was it because of that tree?
Lin Suisui casually picked up a red fruit and put it into her mouth.
Then she reached to the side for another one.
But her hand touched nothing.
“Huh? The fruits are gone.”
“I’ll go get them.”
Heiyun stood up.
“The fruits you picked are already finished.”
Cheng Fifteen said.
The fruits were already gone?!
Lin Suisui was stunned for a moment.
She touched her little belly.
Did I really eat that much?
The red fruits were sweet and didn’t make her feel too full.
Whenever she had nothing to do, Lin Suisui liked eating one or two as snacks.
Besides, no one stopped her.
The little cub liked eating them.
Heiyun wished he could bring all the red fruits in the world to Lin Suisui.
Without noticing, all the fruits were gone.
Lin Suisui felt a little embarrassed.
Did I eat too much?
But Heiyun didn’t care at all.
“Go pick more.”
The little cub finished them.
He could just go pick more.
Cheng Fifteen helplessly said:
“The red fruits near the cliff are gone. I picked the last one yesterday.”
She actually ate all the red fruits in one area?
Lin Suisui felt even more embarrassed.
“But there is another place that has some.”
Cheng Fifteen continued.
“Location.”
Heiyun answered immediately.
“The tree in the south.”
Although they were both plant-type, that tree’s personality was extremely strange.
It was stubborn to an unbelievable degree.
Once it decided something, even ten beastmen couldn’t change its mind.
Cheng Fifteen had tried communicating with it several times.
It was extremely difficult.
He completely couldn’t follow the tree’s thoughts.
More than once, he suspected that the tree had some intelligence problems.
However, that tree did have many strange and precious things.
The seeds he gave Lin Suisui were exchanged from that place.
Hearing that there was another place with fruits, Heiyun immediately stood up.
“Hmm?”
A small hand grabbed the corner of Heiyun’s clothes.
“Dad, Suisui can eat meat. Meat is delicious too. I don’t have to eat red fruits.”
Heiyun shook his head.
“Like.”
The little cub liked those fruits.
As long as she liked them, he wanted to bring them back for her.
“It’s okay. Suisui can eat other things too.”
“That tree sounds strange. Corn is delicious too. Suisui also likes corn.”
Lin Suisui lowered her head.
Uncle Cheng said that tree was a little strange.
Deep inside, she didn’t want to cause trouble for anyone.
It was just a fruit.
If she didn’t eat it, then it was fine.
She didn’t expect that her casual words would make Lin Suisui worry so much that she even refused to eat.
The little cub was simply too sensible.
Cheng Fifteen crouched down.
“Suisui, look at Uncle.”
Unlike Heiyun’s large palm, Cheng Fifteen’s hand was longer and slimmer.
But it was equally strong and reassuring.
Lin Suisui helplessly raised her head and looked at him.
Cheng Fifteen gently said:
“It’s only a small problem. It won’t cause us much trouble.”
“But…”
Lin Suisui said,
“Suisui can just not eat it.”
“If I don’t eat it, then there won’t be any problems.”
The little cub would rather wrong herself than cause trouble for others.
Although this was a very obedient action, Cheng Fifteen only felt heartache.
She was too obedient.
Since coming here, besides asking him for a bag of seeds, the little cub had not asked for anything else.
Even though this was the harshest place—the slums—he had never heard Lin Suisui complain even once.
She was like a little sun, full of energy every day.
She remembered everyone’s kindness and tried her best to repay them.
She didn’t want to trouble anyone.
Sometimes, Cheng Fifteen wished Lin Suisui would be a little more spoiled and selfish.
He would work hard to fulfill any request the little cub made.
But the little cub was easily satisfied.
“Suisui, it’s okay. It’s just a few fruits.”
“You can make many requests without worry. We will all satisfy you.”
Heiyun strongly nodded beside him.
Lin Suisui looked at Cheng Fifteen in confusion.
“But… Suisui thinks everything is already very good.”
“Suisui is already very happy.”
There were so many people around her who liked her.
She was really happy.
Not enough.
It wasn’t enough at all.
“Suisui, you deserve the best things in the world.”
Heiyun almost nodded so hard that his head touched the ground.
That was right.
His little cub deserved the best of everything.
“Don’t you believe in your Dad?”
“Of course I believe!”
Lin Suisui immediately answered.
“Dad is the strongest.”
Hearing the words “the strongest,” Cheng Fifteen felt a little jealous.
Other than physical strength, he wasn’t worse than that reckless man at all.
Lin Suisui looked at Heiyun.
Heiyun gave her a simple and honest smile.
“Little cub, good.”
Cheng Fifteen gently stroked the little cub’s fluffy head.
The soft feeling made him unable to stop touching it.
“Uncle Cheng will go with you too.”
“Don’t worry. I’m also very strong.”
