[Brain Storage] [Thank you everyone] [Highlighting again: Not a perfect character setting / Don’t make assumptions about the plot] [Not an entertainment industry novel / Mostly warm daily sweet treats / Slow-paced / Everyone who has read it says it’s cute (●”●) (A little self-praise, hehe)]
[Patch: The female lead’s aunt and the male lead’s uncle have no blood relation and can get married. The male and female leads and the cub are not perfect characters; the male lead is not your typical domineering CEO, and the female lead is not a perfect heroine—she can curse and hit people. If you mind this, enter with caution.]
Wen Shuqiao never expected that the trend of book transmigration would actually happen to her.
Rewinding to five minutes ago, she clearly remembered walking down the street when she saw a child falling from the fifth floor. At that moment, her mind went blank, and her body had already rushed forward to catch the child.
Five minutes later, she opened her eyes to find herself in a different world.
With mixed emotions, she looked at the child who barely reached her knees. He looked like he was about to cry. Finally, her heart softened, and she asked, “Tell me, what is your name?”
The child mumbled, “Auntie, I… I’m Can Can…”
Wen Shuqiao took a deep breath. “Your full name.”
Can Can inhaled sharply. “Shen… Shen Shiyue.”
Great.
A boom went off in Wen Shuqiao’s brain as if she had been struck by lightning.
That’s right, she had really transmigrated. She had transmigrated into the healing-oriented Long Aotian novel she had been reading last night! She had become the villainous aunt who didn’t even have much of a description!
In the novel, the male lead Shen Shiyue had a miserable childhood. When he was three years old, his mother passed away from illness.
He then spent over half a year in an orphanage, where he suffered greatly. He was bullied, had his food stolen, and became incredibly thin and weak.
He finally waited for a blood-related aunt to pick him up and take him home, but he never expected that what awaited him was an endless abyss. It wasn’t until he was later rescued by his uncle that his life gradually improved.
However, his dark childhood still left a significant shadow on the male lead’s mind. After meeting the female lead, she was like a little sun who warmed him, led him out of the gloom, and helped him find peace.
Now, trying hard to recall the ending of this aunt in the book—she was first locked in a mental hospital by the male lead’s uncle for a full fifteen years, suffering a mental breakdown from the psychological torture. Finally, in an extra chapter, she was further triggered upon seeing the male lead; she went completely mad and fell into the water while wandering the streets, and even her body was never recovered.
Remembering everything, Wen Shuqiao felt a lump in her throat.
Can Can looked at his aunt, his heart filled with endless panic. It had been a week since Wen Shuqiao picked him up. For this entire week, he had been locked in the house, eating nothing but the snacks Wen Shuqiao had left behind.
However, he had finished them all yesterday at noon. When his aunt came back last night, she had fallen asleep immediately. He had resisted the hunger by drinking a lot of water, but he really couldn’t hold out any longer.
After his stint in the orphanage, Can Can had learned how to read people’s expressions. Although this person was his aunt and his only living relative, she didn’t like him.
Thinking of this, Can Can wanted to cry again.
He… he really missed his mommy! And he also missed… the daddy he had never met!
But he… he would work hard to please the aunt in front of him! The people at the orphanage said he was good-looking… even though he was skinny and haggard now.
He was really so hungry!
Can Can tentatively hugged Wen Shuqiao’s leg, looking up and saying cautiously, “Auntie, I… I’m hungry…”
Wen Shuqiao snapped back to reality and looked down again at the child hugging her leg.
Can Can was currently wearing a T-shirt, but it was obviously the original owner’s. It was huge on him, hanging like a dress, and the neckline was so wide that half his shoulder was exposed.
If she remembered correctly, he should be a child of over three, nearly four years old. How could he be as thin and weak as a two-year-old?
Well, in the novel, the male lead’s life only improved after he was taken back by his uncle, but the psychological trauma was deeply buried.
Recalling the original owner’s fate, Wen Shuqiao pursed her lips. She felt that she could still save herself!
She originally wanted to pick up the little male lead, but when she leaned over, she realized she was dressed very formally in a silver-white halter mermaid dress.
At this moment, other aftereffects seemed to hit her as well. Her head felt dizzy, and her whole body reeked of overnight alcohol, the smell making her feel a bit nauseous.
She thought for a moment and said, “Can you hold on a bit longer? I’ll order some takeout.”
Can Can hurriedly nodded. “I can!”
Only then did Wen Shuqiao give an “en.” She took Can Can’s hand, only to find that it was as cold as a block of ice. She frowned. “Where are your clothes?”
As soon as she spoke, memories that didn’t belong to her surfaced in her mind.
On the day she picked him up, the original owner had thrown away all the little male lead’s clothes, calling them rags and trash. But in the end, she didn’t buy him any new ones either, just tossing him a couple of T-shirts to make do.
Wen Shuqiao felt her headache worsening. She didn’t know how she got here, nor did she know how the original owner left, but right now, a mountain of mess was laid out before her.
Can Can watched his aunt’s expression shift back and forth, and his tiny heart clenched again. “Auntie… please… please don’t be angry. I… I’ll give the clothes back to you…”
Wen Shuqiao smiled helplessly. “If you give them back to me, what will you wear?”
Can Can was stunned.
That was true. If he gave them back to his aunt, what would he wear?
Wen Shuqiao squatted down. She carefully observed the little male lead. Although his body was very thin and small now, one could still tell he had the potential to be quite handsome.
Wen Shuqiao still remembered the novel’s description of Can Can; the girls who liked him for his looks could hold hands and circle a playground three times.
She gently pinched Can Can’s face. “Go wait outside for Auntie first. The food will be here soon.”
Can Can’s eyes blinked. Looking into his aunt’s gentle eyes, he wondered with some confusion: Did Auntie start liking him again?
This was wonderful!
Can Can nodded hurriedly. “Okay.”
He turned around, holding up the overly long hem of his shirt with both hands as he walked out. Only then did Wen Shuqiao notice he was barefoot, without even a pair of slippers.
It was quite cold today, too.
Wen Shuqiao wanted to call him back, but Can Can was afraid of making her unhappy, so he walked exceptionally fast and disappeared in an instant.
Wen Shuqiao had no choice but to swallow her words. She quickly ordered breakfast, then took her home clothes and went for a shower.
By the time she finished and walked out of the bedroom, Can Can was curled up on the sofa, covered with another T-shirt. However, the temperature in the living room was clearly lower than in the bedroom.
Wen Shuqiao saw that his lips were turning a bit purple from the cold, but the child’s eyes were still bright as he looked at her.
Why was her sense of guilt skyrocketing?
Wen Shuqiao turned back to find a thicker piece of clothing. After putting it on Can Can, the doorbell rang.
Fearing Can Can was starving, she had ordered two bowls of porridge and some baozi. When Can Can saw the food, he kept swallowing, his eyes wide.
But his body didn’t move.
Wen Shuqiao said, “Hurry up and eat.”
Can Can impatiently grabbed a spoon and began eating ravenously. Even though the heat brought tears to his eyes, he was unwilling to spit it out and swallowed it directly.
Wen Shuqiao sighed. “Eat slowly, no one is going to steal it from you.”
After hearing this, Can Can slowed his pace slightly, though it still seemed very fast to Wen Shuqiao.
She would have to teach him slowly later.
Wen Shuqiao also took a sip of porridge, and her stomach finally felt a bit better.
As she ate, she sorted through the memories that didn’t belong to her.
The original owner’s background was also quite dramatic. To summarize in one sentence, it was a “True and False Daughter” case. She was the false daughter. It was only during the time Can Can was in the orphanage that the truth about the original owner being the false daughter was revealed.
The original owner had known she was a fake for a long time, but for the sake of wealth and glory, she had hidden it and even sent people to harm the true daughter. Consequently, she was eventually kicked out by the Su family.
During this period, the original owner had been mired in a whirlpool of public controversy. That was why the orphanage only managed to contact her half a year later, and she only picked up Can Can under pressure.
She checked the original owner’s phone. When she was kicked out, the true daughter’s parents had still given her a sum of money to live her life.
However, the original owner had developed a habit of spending money lavishly since childhood. Now, adding all her balances together, she only had thirty thousand yuan.
The monthly rent for this apartment was fifteen thousand, and it was paid quarterly. The new rent was due at the end of this month; this bit of money wasn’t even enough for the rent.
Ah.
Her head hurt even more!
Just then, Wen Shuqiao’s phone rang. she took a look; the caller ID was “agent.”
The original owner was a small online celebrity, so having an agent wasn’t surprising.
But as Wen Shuqiao thought of the agent’s appearance in her memory, she didn’t want to answer. It certainly wouldn’t be anything good.
However, her finger answered the call a step ahead of her thoughts.
She had no choice but to put the phone to her ear. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the male voice on the other end say furiously, “Wen Shuqiao! How did you manage to offend Young Master Zhao last night? Do you know he wants to blacklist you now?”
“Do you think you’re still that Miss of the Su family from before? Offending Young Master Zhao won’t end well for you!”
“I’ll give you one more chance! Come and apologize to Young Master Zhao tonight! Otherwise, just wait to terminate contract!”
The person on the other end was still fuming, and Wen Shuqiao remembered why the original owner was drunk last night.
It was for a resource to get on a variety show. After all, without the backing of a wealthy family, the original owner had to find a way out. So she had sought out Young Master Zhao, who had always had feelings for her. But she didn’t expect the other party to want to play dirty. He had forced the original owner to drink a lot of alcohol. The original owner had always been quick-tempered and had never suffered such an insult, so she had simply walked out.
“Are you finished?” Wen Shuqiao asked calmly.
The person on the other end frowned, then said, “What are you trying to pull now! I’m telling you—”
“Help me pass a message to Young Master Zhao. I have no interest in men’s assholes. If he really wants to act flirtatiously, tell him to go find a one.” Wen Shuqiao’s tone didn’t change at all, remaining as calm as if she were saying the porridge today tasted quite good.
The person on the other end of the line, however, sounded as if their throat had been seized, letting out a startled cry. “Gah?”
