Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain

Huo Chengming asked suddenly, Are you upset that Li Jinyuan and I interfere with your relationships?

Zhong Yuhuan shook her head a little blankly, No, I wont get upset over that. As I have said before, I truly see you two as my family. So, this falls under the category of special rights of families. You are my brother, of course you care about me and would meddle in my businesses.

Huo Chengming replied in a low voice, Mmm.

Huo Chengming had thought about this previously back when they were opening up the Christmas cards.

No, even earlier than that. Shortly after they had arrived at the Zhongs and found out that her mother had already betrothed her to another boy verbally before she passed away. He had a very strong sense of resentment when that so-called Young Master Nan showed up in front of them. That was possessiveness.

Huo Chengming didnt want to be like that, but he couldnt control the way he felt.

Back when he was at the Welfare Service, he already learned this one thing.

Whatever you need, you must fight for it on your own and hang on to it. Let it be clothing, food, or an opportunity to be adopted. You would not get any sympathy if you couldnt hold on to it on your own. Everybody there was equally pitiful, and nobody has the extra compassion to share with others.

What he could hang on too was too little.

But at the very minimum, he wanted to hang onto Zhong Yuhuan.

Even though he could hang onto more and more things as time went on, this possessiveness was carved into his bones, into his instinct.

He still wanted to keep her within his circle. It would provide him with the greatest amount of satisfaction and peacefulness.

Huo Chengming recollected himself, looked back, and asked in a low voice, Are you going to sleep some more?

Zhong Yuhuan shook her head, No. Ive slept too much already and couldnt sleep anymore. You should get some more sleep. You have been too tired.

I am not tired. Huo Chengming turned his cellphone back on and said, Ill play games with you.

Zhong Yuhuan rolled off her seat and sort of squatted behind Huo Chengmings seat. She reached out, covered his eyes with her hands, and said, Okay, from this point forward, classmate Huo can only keep his eyes closed. He is not allowed to open his eyes anymore.

Having said that, she pulled the little blanket off of herself and placed it over Huo Chengming, Ill let you borrow it for the time being. You wrap yourself up with it.

Resigned, Huo Chengming wrapped himself up in the blanket and said, Okay, Ive closed my eyes. You can let go now.

It was a little bit of an awkward position so Zhong Yuhuan obediently took her arms back.

Sleep.

Mmm.

The inside of the car returned to its original silence.

Zhong Yuhuan finally collapsed back onto the seat and started playing single-player games on her cellphone.

In the left seat of the second row, Li Jinyuan slowly opened his eyes. But he merely took at look at the ceiling of the car before he closed his eyes again.

He also wanted to know whether Zhong Yuhuan would get upset when Huo Chengming and him meddled with her relationships.

But he didnt ask out loud.

It was his personality to hide all questions and truth deep down inside.

He would not dare say it out loud unless he has 100% confident in it.

The Li Jinyuan in the past was the Li Jinyuan who had nothing.

But the Li Jinyuan who had left the Welfare Services was a Li Jinyuan who had regained something that he could rely on, which made him became even more cautious.

He wanted to be nice to her. And he also wanted to keep her close for longer with the niceness that he has to offer. As for how long he could do that for? He couldnt answer that question either.

Li Jinyuan blankly thought; at the very minimum, he would be able to keep this home going on for longer, and nobody would be able to come and take Zhong Yuhuan away from him.
