Chapter 155.3 - Extra
Chapter 155.3 - Extra
Now that the Gu family has taken over the orphanage, there naturally would not be any more of these things happening. With the orphanage incident settled, this worlds missioin was already considered to be half completed. Qing Yun finally recalled that he came to this world to spend a honeymoon with Ming Fan, yet he had not detected the mans scent from the start.
Could it be that the man had done something again to block his perception?
Qing Yun was thinking about how to find the man when he suddenly received a call from the hospital: Hello, is this Mr. Gu? One of the children you sent here has gone missing, can you come over to assist in the search?
Missing?
Qing Yun frowned, immediately thinking of the boy who had flipped over the tall fence.
Yan Linhao took the opportunity when no one in the hospital was paying attention to escape. He was not a random orphan, and he was not unaware of his parents identities. He was the only son of the Yan familys current head. He was kidnapped from the capital to N City and escaped after knocking out a kidnapper with a trick. However, he did not dare to go to the police.
This was because he knew that the one who kidnapped him this time was no other than his second uncle. His parents had died from an accident, and the position of the Yan family head was empty. His second uncle naturally would try to eliminate by all means.
Initially, Yan Linhao wanted to go to the police, but once he heard the news that his grandfather also passed away from illness, he dismissed the idea of going back to the Yan family. Since all the people who were protecting him were gone, going back would only mean placing himself in the palm of his second uncles hand.
This child who was little but had many big crafty ideas took the initiative to admit himself into an orphanage. Originally, he was worried that once his orphan status was reported, it would attract the attention of the Yan family, but he never thought that he would enter such a dark orphanage. He might as well have gone back to the Yan family.
In just a few months, Yan Linhao, a 9 year old child, had endured the pain of his familys deaths one after another, experienced the cruelty of the kidnappers, and even encountered the rolling eyes of the passerbys he met when asking for help on the road. The orphanage, which was only place he used as a shelter, was also a vicious beast that ate people up without sparing their bones.
Hence, despite this big upheaval at the orphanage, Yan Linhao, who had completely lost faith in the people around him, did not dare to stay any longer at the hospital. He took advantage of the chaos at the hospital to escape.
But he never imagined that he would run into the group who kidnapped him outside the hospital.
Not surprisingly, Yan Linhao once again fell into the hands of his kidnappers.
Escaping again, kid? Didnt you still have to come back so obediently? The kidnapper tied Yan Linhao up securely, pushed him into a room, then the only door that let in light slammed close, darkening the entire room.
Following the dimming of the light, Yan Linhao visibly stiffened.
He had night blindness since young. To others, maybe this was just a slightly darker than usual room, but to him, this was endless darkness.
Both of Yan Linhaos bound hands started to tremble. He forced himself to calm down, concentrating on listening to the conversation between two of the kidnappers outside, but the conversation topic made Yan Linhao even more anxious.
Word came from that side, saying that the kid is useless now, get it done then.
Youre nimble, you do it
Yan Linhao gritted his teeth. He knew that his second uncle would certainly have him killed.
Very soon, there was no sound from outside, and the complete silence made Yan Linhao, who was plunged into darkness, even more uneasy. He laid on the floor and wiggled around, and once he felt a somewhat hard object, he started to use it to grind against the rope around his wrists with all his might.
He had to get out of here, he cant die like this!
In the dark, time seemed unusually long. Yan Linhao used all of this strength, and later leaned on a concrete wall to resolutely grind the rope against until both his arms were scratched and dripping with blood. Only then did the rope finally snap at one location.
However, at this moment, Yan Linhao did not feel any sort of relief. All of his energy was expended, and the terror brought by the darkness was firmly engraved into his heart, a constant torment to the mental state of the child who was only 9 years old.
Even though the rope was worn off, he was like a drowning person in the darkness, with nothing to cling onto.
Yan Linhao could only sense the same amount of darkness from all directions, he walked in one direction for a very long time and still could not feel for another wall in this tiny room.
Slowly, a wave of despair rose in Yan Linhaos heart. All the aggravation he had suffered since being kidnapped and all of the danger he had faced surfaced again and again in Yan Linhaos heart, causing his eyes to burn. Yet he still held back and did not allow his tears to fall.
Right now, he immensely missed
Missed the embrace that had carried him to the ambulance, although it was aloof and cold, it was unsusually reassuring. That was The only warmth he had encountered since he was kidnapped.
If there was a next time, he would never doubt it again. He would hold onto his warmth tightly and never let go of it.
Just as Yan Linhao was about to collapse, he heard a bang and the door was kicked open.
The sudden spill of sunlight into the room made Yan Linhao unable to see anything, but his heart trembled. Could it be that the kidnappers were finally coming to kill him?
But the next second Yan Linhao detected a familiar scent. A scent that was cold, yet it made one feel homely.
At that instant, Yan Linhao could no longer hold back and lunged at the blurry figure in front of him with all his strength, and he used his blood-soaked arms to wrap tightly around the youths waist. A small face covered in dirt and sweat also buried itself into the youths embrace.
Qing Yun was taken aback by the childs lunge. But after seeing Yan Linhaos appearance, even though he was aloof in nature, he could not help but raise a hand to pat the boys hair: You did very well, youre alright now.
Yan Linhao collapsed entirely in Qing Yuns embrace, but his arms were still stubbornly wrapped around Qing Yuns waist and remained so the whole way.
Ever since then, Qing Yun had an extra little tail.
No matter when the child spotted Qing Yun, he would always jump into his arms without saying another word, wrapping his own arms tightly around his waist. Even if Yan Linhaos arms were wrapped in thick bandages or had needles stuck in it, he will still do so without missing a single time.
Even Qing Yun was somewhat surprised as he was never the type that was well-liked by children usually.
After the orphanage was tidied up, he had been to the orphanage a few times, but every time he went, the children there looked at him as if they were facing a big enemy. While quietly stretching their heads out to peer at him, they would also hold their breath out of fear that he would notice them; this sort of obvious fear of him was the normal behaviour.
Hence, Qing Yun could not understand why this kid loved to stick to him so much. There was even once when the kid trotted all the way from the hospital to the Gu familys company to find him.
Qing Yun sent Yan Linhao who had already been discharged from the hospital back to the orphanage. He peeled the child off from himself and asked: Say it, whats your name? Being this old already, you should be able to remember your name.
Facing Qing Yuns inquiry, Yan Linhao pursed his lips and did not speak. What ifafter learning of his identity, Qing Yun sends him back?
Thinking like this, Yan Linhao subconsciously grabbed QIng Yuns hand and mumbled to himself for a long time before yelling out: My surname is Gu, Ill take whatever your surname is!
Hearing the boys words, the orphanage aunties watching them from the side all started to joke: Mr. Gu, we didnt expect you to have a son this big?
They were all newly hired staff members who had heard about the previous events of this orphanage. So even though Qing Yun was always aloof, they thought that he was just a cold-faced but warm-hearted youth and made a few jokes every now and then.
No one expected Yan Linhao, who was soft in front of Qing Yun, to glance back at them, and his dark, piercing eyes immediately made these aunties slowly fall silent.
The kid was a completely different person from his usual self in front of Mr. Gu, and it was only when he faced Mr. Gu did he show his childish nature.
Just like this moment, Yan Linhao who was had just been fierce, turned his head to bury himself in Qing Yuns embrace and acted like a spoiled child: Dont chase me away, okay? I want to follow you around, okay? Okay?
The Yan Linhao right now had already washed his face and changed into clean clothes. He was well-norished in these two days at the hospital, causing some baby fat to show itself again, which made him look both handsome and cute. Comparing to the ferocious look back when he bit him, Qing Yun was really unable to restrain a smile.
But the children outside who were used to seeing Yan Linhaos cool and aloof appearance started to make a ruckus: Youre so old already yet you still act spoiled, shame shame shame!
Such words immediately made Yan Linhao a little embarrassed.
Seeing the boys slightly scrunched face, Qing Yun casually glanced towards the door. All at once the children who were gathered outside to watch scattered in all directions like mice that had just seen a cat, there were even a few bold ones who started chanting: The Big Demon King, the Big Demon King!
The children now looked very different from before, and although there are still shadows left in their hearts, at least they finally had a happy appearance.
Qing Yun, who had been dubbed the Big Demon King, withdrew his gaze. Looking back down at the child in his arms he couldnt help but feel a little helpless again.
Alright, get up. Boys dont act spoiled. Qing Yun used a finger to push at Yan Linhaos forehead to put some distance between them, Have you thought through already about following me? If you want to go home, I can hep you find your family members.
Im not, I dont have a home anymore. Yan Linhao muttered, his black pupils fixed on Qing Yun without blinking. Anywhere Qing Yun was would be his home, it was him who saved him and gave him warmth at the time where he had given up all hope. Yan Linhao did not wish to leave this sort of warmth.
Why not just adopt this child, Mr. Gu. One of the aunties to the side piped up.
However, Qing Yun shook his head: I cant, I dont fufill the requirements of an adopter.
Seeing Qing Yuns attitude, Yan Linhaos eyes dulled in an instant, and the fingers that held onto Qing Yuns shirt tightened sharply.
However, this child is also at the age when he should start schooling. I can be his sponsor. If hes willing, he can even stay at the Gu house.
These words instantly made Yan Linhaos cloudy expression turn sunny. He was incredibly stunned for a moment, before he started jumping around happily: Im willing, Im willing, I want to go to the Gu house!
This cheerful and high spirited look also made him finally seem somewhat childish.
Qing Yun looked at Yan Rinhao, and a faint, almost undetectable smile surfaced in his eyes. The kidnappers who had kidnapped the boy were already sent to the police station, but they could not find out who on earth the person behind the kidnappers was.
However, Qing Yun was familiar with the direction this world would head towards, and he managed to find some traces about Yan Linhaos origins.
The head of the Yan family had died in an accident a few years ago, and the little young master of the Yan family was also kidnapped. But looking at the childs appearance, it was very likely that the one who planned his kidnapping was a Yan family member and he also reckoned that it also had some connection to the male lead of this world, Yan Yishen.
Sending him back also wouldnt be a good thing, he might as well let him stay here. If he wanted to return to the Yan family for revenge, he was free to do so, if he didnt want to, he could just be the heir to the Gu family.
It was rare to have a child who was not afraid of him, and it was also not bad to keep him by his side and raise him as a son. All he hoped was for a certain man to not get jealous later on.
While Qing Yun was thinking like this, he didnt realise that although Yan Linhaos gaze on him did not hold any other meaning, along with attachment, there was an extremely deep possessiveness.
