How could this be?
Without Ye Qingrou's knowledge, Xiao Ye had silently taken punishment for her.
Ye Qingrou's mind was flooded with memories. No wonder she was never bullied again at the orphanage.
If Xiao Ye were lying, why would she never have known about this?
Facing the gazes of the entire populace, Ye Qingrou's expression grew complicated. "Xiao Ye can't possibly be sincere towards me because, later, he almost killed me to snatch my adoption qualification."
At such a young age, Xiao Ye could be so malicious.
He had almost killed Ye Qingrou to be adopted.
This time, it was Hao Duoyu who spoke, "Whether on our Blue Star or in the Samsara World, Xiao Ye is a scumbag. He hurt several female War Gods. Don't be fooled by his outward appearance!"
The people found his words reasonable; they couldn't sympathize with a death row inmate.
Xiao Ye would surely reveal his true colors in the Samsara World.
Mission: Whitewash the Villain.
Ye Qingrou: Whitewash degree completed, 10%.
...
Samsara World.
Xiao Ye was confined to the 'little black room' for half a month before being released by order of the orphanage director.
When he was let out, the sun was shining brightly outside.
A rich man was visiting the orphanage to see the children, and countless children rushed forward to actively perform. Kuaishu Pavilion.
Xiao Ye found Little Qingrou sitting on a stone bench, her little face dejected.
"Brother Xiao?!"
Seeing Xiao Ye, Little Qingrou cried out joyfully, "Rourou looked for you for so long! Where on earth have you been!"
Xiao Ye saw Little Qingrou pounce towards him, her hair messy and looking pitiful.
"Someone is choosing children for adoption over there. Why aren't you going?"
Xiao Ye gestured towards the lively area where the rich man was. Little Qingrou sat apart, looking out of place.
Little Qingrou tilted her small face up. "Will that uncle like Rourou?"
"He will."
Xiao Ye saw the longing in Little Qingrou's eyes. As children in an orphanage, everyone wanted to escape.
He took out a hair tie from his pocket and gently tied Little Qingrou's messy hair into small buns.
"It's a bit ugly."
Xiao Ye wiped Little Qingrou's face with his sleeve. "You go over first."
Exquisite and beautiful.
Little Qingrou went to the rich man's side and was immediately favored by him.
Who could refuse a well-behaved little cutie?
That evening, the orphanage celebrated Little Qingrou. It seemed she would soon be taken away to a better life.
In the following two months.
The rich man visited Ye Qingrou every few days.
Xiao Ye's skill in tying Little Qingrou's hair into buns became more and more proficient.
Under the cover of night.
Little Qingrou came bouncing to find Xiao Ye. He heard her say, "Brother Xiao, will we be adopted together?"
Xiao Ye sat on the eaves of the roof, his expression calm.
"You want us to be adopted together?"
"Yes, Rourou likes Brother Xiao..."
Little Qingrou sat beside Xiao Ye, her innocent smile beaming. "Brother Xiao is the kindest person to Rourou here."
Evidently, the loneliness on Xiao Ye's body lessened considerably.
"Let me secretly tell Brother Xiao a secret."
Little Qingrou looked at Xiao Ye mysteriously. "Today is Rourou's birthday."
A flicker of emotion appeared in Xiao Ye's eyes, and he reached out to stroke Little Qingrou's head.
"Happy birthday."
"Rourou really wants to eat a big birthday cake!"
Little Qingrou spread her small hands, looking troubled.
"But Rourou only has one candy now."
This candy was given by the rich man who liked Little Qingrou.
Xiao Ye suddenly said seriously, "I will buy you cake to eat in the future."
"Really? Let's pinky promise."
Little Qingrou, her face full of surprise, took Xiao Ye's hand.
"We'll hang ourselves for a hundred years, no taking it back."
Xiao Ye and Little Qingrou made a pinky promise, the moonlight casting onto their thin bodies.
A hint of warmth permeated the air.
"Then Rourou will give this candy to Brother Xiao."
She looked at Xiao Ye with great trust, regarding him as the person she trusted most.
Xiao Ye saw Ye Qingrou, bright like a little flower.
...
After watching the reincarnation footage, Xiao Ye carried Little Qingrou down from the roof when she fell asleep.
"Goddess Ye smiles too cutely. She seems to only smile at Xiao Ye!"
"Children's emotions look so pure and beautiful. Why is Xiao Ye like a gentle elder brother?"
"Xiao Ye is so young, yet he's so good at flirting..."
Many women among the populace, seeing the beautiful scene, felt their girlish hearts flutter.
Silently protecting Little Qingrou.
Silently caring for Little Qingrou.
Little Qingrou regarded Xiao Ye as her reliance, and he was willing to dote on her like a sister.
Ye Qingrou's breathing trembled and quickened, as she was watching herself in the Samsara World and could not help but empathize with Xiao Ye's kindness towards her.
She hadn't forgotten everything. She remembered how dependent she was on Xiao Ye at the orphanage.
But Xiao Ye had personally pushed her into hell.
Even if Xiao Ye was genuinely good to her, it couldn't outweigh the temptation of adoption.
"Xiao Ye, in order to compete for my adoption qualification, he didn't hesitate to kill me, who relied on him!"
She needed a focal point for her resentment, or her heart would ache.
Hearing Ye Qingrou's words, the entire populace suddenly understood.
"I knew Xiao Ye must have some ulterior motive for the Goddess Li to hate him so much."
Seeing Ye Qingrou clearly moved, sorrow reflected in her eyes.
Hao Duoyu quickly comforted her, "Qingrou, don't worry, we won't be fooled by Xiao Ye..."
Ye Qingrou's expression remained cold; her nose felt a little sore.
She couldn't help but rummage in her pocket and find a candy.
This was a candy that Ye Qingrou had unconsciously carried with her.
She tore open the wrapper and put it in her mouth. It was sour and slightly bitter.
Ye Qingrou's tears fell.
This candy...
Was not sweet at all.
...
Reincarnation footage.
During this period, the rich man visited Little Qingrou most frequently.
The director and others told Little Qingrou to actively perform in front of the rich man to make herself more likable.
Little Qingrou hugged her rabbit doll and mustered the courage to look at the rich man.
"Uncle, when will you take Rourou home?"
The rich man's gaze fell on Little Qingrou's face, and he smiled kindly. "Little Rourou, you want to go home with me so badly?"
Little Qingrou nodded at the rich man.
His hand suddenly lifted her chin.
"Our Rourou is so beautiful. Uncle will handle the adoption procedures in the next few days and will definitely take you home."
Little Qingrou looked into the rich man's eyes, a hint of strangeness in them.
Little Qingrou smiled happily. "Okay!"
At that moment, the figure of a young boy suddenly appeared.
Little Qingrou's eyes lit up seeing him, and she eagerly wanted to share, "Brother Xiao, Uncle promised to take me..."
He yanked Little Qingrou aside, his face cold and impatient. "Go play on the side."
"Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"
Little Qingrou seemed startled by Xiao Ye, looking wronged.
"Go quickly."
Xiao Ye urged again, appearing even colder.
Little Qingrou could only walk away aggrieved.
She personally witnessed the desire that appeared on Xiao Ye's face when facing the rich man.
"Sir, could you adopt me?"
