Stay In Memories

LianHua Orphanage

"A-Ying!! MianMian!! What happened to the both of you?? Why are you all dirty MianMian?? And why are you all bruised up A-Ying?? Who did this?"

"It's Wen Chao and the gang again ShiJie!!"

"You're a guy A-Ying., you're supposed to protect MianMian. How can you let yourself get beaten up like this?"

"But he's not being fair!! He has a whole gang to himself while I'm alone!! Not to mention I have to protect MianMian while they got nothing to lose!!"

"I-I'm sorry A-Ying, it was my fault that I made them mad..."

"Don't worry MianMian, they must have said something that offend you right?"

"I-It's-!"

"It's fine MianMian. Now let's get you cleaned up while you tell me the truth okay?"

"U-Un..."

"*sigh* Let's treat your wounds first, then I'll punish those brats."

"It has no effect on them. They would come back for trouble again and again. Why would they target me anyways?! And it's unfair how they outnumber me whenever they pick a fight with me! They have absolute victory!!"

"It's not always about the amount. But nonetheless, it's not a good choice to fight. Just stay away from them, both MianMian and you, I'm sure some good family will adopt you both one day, until then...." Peacock Jin Zixuan flicks Wei Ying's head. "...Hold on." *smiles*.

"B-But ShiXiong! Who is going to adopt us if there are bruises all over our body because of Wen Chao!! He always beat us up twice the amount whenever he knows a family is visiting!"

"*sigh* There's nothing we can do about him. Those kind of people will do everything as they like just to get what they want."

"What to do then??"

"Just be patience, I'm sure a good family will come and adopt you and MianMian despite how bad your condition is after the beating from Wen Chao..."

"Why don't ShiXiong and ShiJie lock them in their room instead??"

"...We thought of that before... But just then the government came to check every orphanage and sue us for child abuse when they saw Wen Chao's locked up room... It was chaotic and they put the blame to us...'

"Well it was kind of our fault that we can't discipline him properly in place of his parents."

"A-Li... He just became that way ever since he knew that he came from a wealthy family and he believes that he will make his way back to the top of his family when he gets older. Little does he know that..."

"..."

"He was thrown away by his only father huh..."

"A-Ying! How did you know that?! Anyway, promise me you won't tell him that!!"

"Don't worry, I won't."

"I'll make sure of that ShiJie, no worries."

"Thank you MianMian."

"Remember to always look after each other, MianMian.. A-ying.."

"We will."

"Mh-Hm."

"Are you sure about this Wangji?"

"Mnn."

"An older brother?"

"Mnn."

"What if they have no older ones?"
