Chapter 2 Adoption

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the train car, immediately drawing the attention of everyone inside. The middle-aged woman was sweating profusely, her eyes darting around in fear and panic, but she couldn't stop herself from continuing to hit the other woman. Her shouts only grew louder with each blow, and before long, her face was as red as a ripe tomato.

Meanwhile, Gu Dong was holding onto her chubby little arms, laughing uncontrollably. Her eyes were bright and innocent, and her laughter was infectious. It was almost as if she was holding a small squirrel in her hands, so cute and lovable.

To Gu Dong, this scene was even more entertaining than watching the actresses performon stage. If she had more energy, she would have stood up and applauded, her small hands clapping with delight.

However, Red Sister's expression changed. She didn't know why her accomplice was suddenly confessing to their crimes like she was possessed, but the commotion had already attracted the attention of the other passengers. It wouldn't be long before the train police came to investigate, and they would be in big trouble.

With this thought in mind, Red Sister quickly stood up and grabbed the middle-aged woman's hand. She squeezed out a few tears and apologized to the other passengers, explaining that her sister had suffered a head injury when she was young and had some mental issues. They were on their way to Jincheng to see a doctor.As she spoke, Red Sister's voice choked with emotion, and she looked genuinely remorseful.

Her acting was good. At the moment, with red eyes and a hunched body, she was apologizing while holding her child in her arms. This appearance slowly dispelled the suspicions of most of the passengers, and even a little sympathy arose. After all, it was not easy for a woman of her age to go out with a young child and a sister with a mental illness to see a doctor. Therefore, when some of the passengers heard about it, they didn't hold onto the matter and even reminded Red Sister a few words.

"Sister, you have to take care of your sister more after she wakes up. You can't talk nonsense about human trafficking. If the police are here, you will probably be arrested."Red Sister wiped away her tears and nodded.

However, when she lowered her head, she deliberately hooked the corners of her mouth, revealing a triumphant smile in her eyes.

Seeing that Red Sister was trying to cover up the matter, Gu Dong pouted with an unhappy expression on her small round face. She looked like a chubby little bird flapping its wings.

She secretly used the limited spiritual power in her body and pinched the middle-aged woman's decision with her small hands.

The middle-aged woman no longer slapped herself and stared blankly at Red Sister in front of her. Red Sister thought that her companion had calmed down, so she reached out with teary eyes to grab the middle-aged woman's hand and said in a louder voice:

"Sister..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was slapped in the face by the middle-aged woman who had come towards her. After the crisp sound of the slap, Red Sister's head was forced to turn to the other side due to the inertia of the force.

"You! Who are you calling crazy? My brain is normal! And who said anything about sisters? You look like a slut twisting your waist all day long. I feel unlucky just looking at you. If I hadn't received the money for selling this girl, I would have gone back to my hometown by train long ago!"

"You deliberately said that I'm sick, don't you want to keep all the five thousand yuan you got from selling the child for yourself? Let me tell you, noway! You have to give me every penny!" The middle-aged woman's mouth was full of spit.

However, fear and regret were evident in her eyes, as she didn't know how her mouth had suddenly opened up like a floodgate, spilling out all the heartfelt words she had kept hidden deep inside. Red Sister was trembling with anger. She could feel the suspicious, questioning, and wary looks of the passengers in the carriage piercing her like arrows. Before Red Sister could come up with any excuse to explain what was happening, the middle-aged woman pounced on her again, grabbing her hair with force. Red Sister winced in pain, and her anger began to consume her rationality. Seeing the middle-aged woman persistently attacking her, Red Sister lost her cool and threw the child wrapped in a blanket onto the seat. She rolled up her sleeves and began to fighback against the middle-aged woman.

Gu Dong had seen enough of the drama. She raised her little hand and stretched lazily, her dark eyes turning to the child lying on the seat. The child looked a little older than her, with his eyes closed and his face flushed with sweat. He moved his lips helplessly in his sleep, as if calling out for something. Gu Dong jumped off the chair with her short legs and struggled to remove the blanket covering the child's body. She then quietly infused some spiritual energy into his body, and in a moment, the heat on the boy's face dissipated. He fluttered his eyelashes a few times, then half-awake, half-asleep, opened his eyes and saw Gu Dong's face. The coldness on his face melted away, and he smiled weakly, calling out in a soft and indistinct voice, "Sister."Gu Dong's body was drained of spiritual energy, and her short legs felt a little weak. When she heard the child calling her sister, she put on a serious face like an adult and reminded him in a childish voice, "You should call me 'Ancestor'."

She lived for hundreds of years.

Although it takes a dragon to live for a thousand years to be considered an adult, compared to humans with their short lives, she was old enough to be their ancestor. The police arrived quickly.

After the train arrived at the station, they took Red Sister and the middle-aged woman off the train. Gu Dong and the awakened little boy were led by them, holding hands obediently by their side. The little boy was particularly close to Gu Dong, even holding hands while walking. Gu Dong curiously looked around this completely unfamiliar human. world with her big, round eyes, exclaiming "Wow" in a small voice, and didn't notice when the little boy took her hand.

As soon as the two traffickers, Red Sister and the middle-aged woman, arrived at the police station, they spilled the beans like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. Coincidentally, the little boy's parents had reported the incident earlier, so they received the news and arrived at the police station within two hours.

"Xiaoyan."

As soon as the parents entered the police station, they saw their son at a glance. They anxiously looked him up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they found that his body was fine.

"Daddy, Mommy."After seeing his parents, Lou Yan didn't rush into their arms. Instead, he shook the two little short hands that he and Gu Dong were holding, and seriously emphasized, "Sister!"

He had found a little sister. Lou Yan was always reticent, as if nothing in the world could touch his heart. Now, when the couple suddenly heard Lou Yan speak in such a happy and cheerful tone, and even took the initiative to hold Gu Dong's hand, they couldn't help but be stunned.

The two looked at each other in silence.

Is this still their son?

Although Lou's parents were slightly surprised by Lou Yan's behavior, they didn't show it on their faces. They smiled kindly at Gu Dong and said, "The police told us that you are Dong Dong. Weare Lou Yan's parents. Thank you for taking care of our little Yan just now."

Gu Dong waved her little hand.

Her round little face looked cute and obedient, and her voice had a hint of childishness. However, her tone of voice was serious and mature, like a little adult, which created a funny contrast that made people can't help but smile:

"Uncle and aunt don't have to be polite. Lou Yan is very obedient."

"I didn't bother you."

The couple smiled at each other.

How could they not know their son's cold and habitually indifferent personality? When they heardGu Dong say this, their fondness for her increased a little.

This little girl is kind-hearted.

According to the normal procedure, Lou Yan would be taken back to his home by his parents, and Gu Dong, who had no parents to pick her up and couldn't remember her real parents, would be sent to a nearby orphanage. However, when Lou's parents wanted to take Lou Yan away, he held onto Gu Dong's hand tightly and refused to let go no matter what.

The couple talked until their mouths were sore, but they only got a stubborn sentence from Lou Yan:

"Sister, let's go home together."
