Chapter 346 I want to adopt a child
"Zhizhi, I'll have someone prepare some things and send them over." Cheng Shuyan raised his hand to call his assistant to have a batch of daily necessities sent over, but Yunzhi stopped him. "I've already prepared them, and they've arrived. Shuyan, come with me."
Yunzhi took Cheng Shuyan's hand and led her into the welfare home. Her familiarity with the place suggested that this was not her first time there.
Cheng Shuyan's gaze fell on their clasped hands, and her heart felt as sweet as honey. Naturally, she would do whatever Yunzhi said. She explained her purpose to the gatekeeper at the door, and the gatekeeper made a phone call. In less than a minute, two staff members from the welfare home quickly came out.
"Ms. Yun, thank you so much for donating daily necessities and books to our welfare home. The children are very happy. Would you like us to take some photos with them?"
The staff at the welfare home seemed very familiar with this process.
"No need, I'm just wandering around."
"Do you need us to follow you?" The staff member was a little surprised to hear this, but seeing that Yunzhi was not donating money for fame or to put on a show, their attitude became more enthusiastic.
Yunzhi gently shook her head.
The staff members wisely stopped following Yunzhi and Cheng Shuyan.
She hadn't been there for a while, and the orphanage hadn't changed at all. She glanced at the small red building not far away, wondering if the person she was looking for was there. Yunzhi's goal was clear, and she led Cheng Shuyan straight to the bottom of the small red building.
“Zhizhi, I think the children from the orphanage are in another building.” Cheng Shuyan pointed to the newer building next door.
Yunzhi shook her head, walked to the foot of the little red building, and called out to KK in a low voice. Under Cheng Shuyan's puzzled gaze, a timid voice came from above, "You, you're looking for me?"
Cheng Shuyan was stunned for a moment. When she looked up and saw KK, she was momentarily stunned. The little boy in front of her was so beautiful, like a doll displayed in a shop window.
Yunzhi's eyes lit up when she saw KK. KK's hair was a bit longer than when she last met him, making him look androgynous. Such a face was not a good thing in the orphanage. Originally, Yunzhi wanted to adopt KK because of Yu Baisu, but now, she actually felt a little sorry for this child.
When KK saw the two of them look up, he instinctively wanted to shrink back, but soon he recognized Yunzhi. KK's beautiful eyes were full of surprise. "Pretty auntie, you're here! I... I haven't seen you in so long. I thought you weren't coming to see KK anymore."
"KK, why don't you come down and play with the other kids?" Yunzhi pointed to the playground not far away. Because it wasn't too far, Yunzhi could even hear the noise coming from the playground from where she was standing.
KK's eyes darkened instantly. "I... Grandma Dean doesn't let me play with the other children, and my room door is locked. Auntie only opens the door at noon and in the afternoon to let me go out and play for a while."
He slumped over the windowsill, head down, like a bird with broken wings.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shuyan frowned. He had clearly realized the special nature of this little boy, whether it was because Yunzhi had come to the orphanage specifically for him, or because this little boy received different treatment from the other children in the orphanage.
For a moment, Cheng Shuyan wondered if the little boy had some kind of mental problem that was causing him to be treated specially, but after observing him more closely, it didn't seem like it.
"Oh, KK, would you like to come down?" Yunzhi asked softly. Because of her experience in her previous life, she knew how to coax children.
KK's eyes lit up for a moment, then quickly dimmed again. "No, Grandma Dean won't let me come down to play. I was only allowed to come down for a short while when Uncle Qin Ran came. Pretty Auntie, KK is already very happy to see you. If you'd like to come visit KK more often in the future, KK would be more than satisfied."
The little guy is so young, yet so sensible that it breaks your heart.
If KK were her own child… Yunzhi thought of Ye Ze and sneered inwardly. Yu Baisu ignored her own child but desperately tried to please someone else’s child. Some people are really despicable. They don’t want such a sensible and well-behaved child, but insist on having a willful, unreasonable, and impolite one.
It's a pity that such a well-behaved child is Yu Baisu's child.
"Would you like to come home with Auntie?" Yunzhi clapped her hands in the direction of KK, smiling gently. She had made up her mind that after adopting KK, she would raise him regardless of whether his biological father was willing to raise him or not.
Cheng Shuyan suddenly looked at Yunzhi, his expression hesitant, but in the end he stood silently to the side.
“I do! But the headmistress said that KK looks different from the other children, so no one wants to adopt KK. Uncle Qin Ran said that he will adopt KK when KK is a little older in a few years.” KK counted on his fingers, trying to figure out how many years “a little older” meant.
Because he looks different from other children, no one wants to adopt him? That's really audacious. With KK's face, if no one had stopped him, he would have been adopted long ago. However, it is also because of his face that he easily attracts a bunch of devils and monsters. Qin Ran did a good deed by chance.
It's unclear whether Qin Ran's idea to prevent others from adopting KK was her own or Yu Baisu's, but one can't have it all. She's already given her son to Yu Baisu, so Yu Baisu shouldn't be stingy in giving her child to her.
Yunzhi smiled, and in the sunlight, she seemed to glow.
“KK, no, Auntie is willing to adopt you. If you are willing to come with Auntie, Auntie will talk to the director to take you away and complete the adoption procedures for you.”
KK froze. A gentle breeze blew by, making his curly hair sway. He opened his mouth wide, seemingly in disbelief that someone would be willing to adopt him, especially the beautiful aunt he liked so much. He nodded almost without hesitation, "Yes, beautiful aunt, KK is willing to go home with you."
He peered through the small window and saw many children skipping and jumping as they were led away by other adults. He once asked the auntie where those children went, and she said that they had gone home. He also wanted a home, a home of his own, where he could go downstairs whenever he wanted, and play outside for a long time like other children, without being trapped in this little house.
"But pretty auntie, is adopting KK very troublesome? If it is, then forget it," KK said cautiously.
His maturity beyond his years made Cheng Shuyan, who originally disagreed with Yunzhi adopting KK, show a hint of reluctance.
