“Little cub, come and scratch grandpa’s back!” (1)

Yeya hugged Shen Zhou’s wrinkled school uniform tightly. She recalled the young boy’s name and said, “Big brother Shen Zhou gave this to me.”

Shen Zhou…

Ye Qinghe was surprised.

“Can you tell me why you were with him?”

Yeya responded, “Brother Shen Zhou found me on the streets and bought me something to drink. He’s a very kind person. I will repay his kindness in the future~”

Although she is scared of the black raven as it looked quite intimidating, she knows that Shen Zhou is a good person. Because of that, she’s not that afraid anymore.

If they meet again in the future, she will let him touch her head again~ Her mother told her that the luck that she brings to others is only temporary, so she wants Brother Shen Zhou to touch her head a few more times.

Ye Qinghe stopped asking questions. He fell into deep thought while staring at the jacket.

He and Shen Zhou have been classmates since elementary school and they were the only ones promoted to the honor class. Shen Zhou is a quiet individual that comes from poor family background. As a result, he is often the target of bullying by delinquents from outside the school.

Even though their paths often cross, they had nothing in common until one day, Ye Qinghe ran into trouble and Shen Zhou helped him resolve it. Ye Qinghe didn’t have many friends in school, so he wanted to be friends with Shen Zhou. However, Shen Zhou’s attitude had always been extremely cold whenever he tried to talk with him.

Ye Qinghe couldn’t help but smile slightly as he stared at the uniform.

——As he had expected, Shen Zhou is a kindhearted person. He merely looks cold and indifferent on the outside but deep down has a warm heart.

“Shen Zhou and I are classmates. Do you want me to help you return this when I go to school?”

Little Yeya thought seriously for a while and said, “Okay.” Then, she asked with confusion, “Are you my brother?”

She tilted her head and stared at him. Her big eyes looked both confused and curious.

Ye Qinghe raised his hand and touched her soft messy hair. His eyes were gentle and sincere as he said, “Yes. In the future, big brother will protect you. I won’t let anyone bully you anymore.”

His late mother, who worked as a researcher, told him that cloning was against human morals and humanity.

Even though his mother lectured him about morality and humanity, she still created a clone due to her selfishness. In the end, she abandoned the clone and left this world.

Ye Qinghe didn’t understand the so-called ‘humanity’ and ‘morals’ that she lectured him about. What he did know was that Yeya is a living being. She has a beating heart in her chest that pumps blood and she needs to eat just like them.

This time, he will definitely persuade his father to let Yeya stay.

Dr Li happened to arrive as Yeya finished eating. He gave Yeya a general body examination. He noted that apart from the lack of vitamins and long-term malnutrition, the young girl didn’t have any other serious medical problems. As long as she is properly taken care of, the scars on her body will fade away.

After the examination, Ye Qinghe gave Yeya a tour around the house.

Ye Linchuan owned the entire hill where the house sat. For this reason, the Ye Family’s villa stood alone on the hill. The villa is equipped with a flower-viewing room, a swimming pool, a children’s playground, etc. In the back of the villa, is a horse farm where several expensive horses that Ye Linchuan purchased from overseas.

Ye Qinghe showed Yeya to the children’s playroom first. When he noticed that she wasn’t interested in the toys, Ye Qinghe brought her to the flower-viewing room located at the back of the villa.

The flower-viewing room was built in the shape of a labyrinth. It was as big as a playground with various species of flowers and plants.

Yeya’s eyes immediately lit up when she saw the room that was filled with various types of vibrant flowers and plants. Her eyes shone like two bright lanterns.

“Hello, Little Flower.” She smiled, her dimples appearing as she greeted the flowers with a tender and sweet voice.

The beautiful red roses swayed its branches in response, “Hello, sweetheart.”

Soon, other plants responded.

“おはようございます.”1

“Здравствуйте.”

“It’s so early in the morning, stop blabbering!”

“Little cub, come and scratch grandpa’s back!” ← This is a laceleaf flower.

It had been a peaceful morning, but now it turned into a big mess because Yeya greeted the flowers.

Although She could hear their voices, she couldn’t understand what they were saying. But what she could understand was that they weren’t happy. Yeya held Ye Qinghe’s hand and leaned on him like a little kitten who had just done something wrong. She stared innocently at the plants and flowers as they quarreled.

“Is Yeya greeting the flowers?”

Yeya slowly rubbed her chin.

This piqued Ye Qinghe’s interest, so he asked, “Did the flowers respond to you?”

“Yep.”

“What did they say?”

“I don’t understand.” Yeya felt frustrated due to this, “They speak in different dialects.”

Ye Qinghe, “…”

After the tour of the flower-viewing room, Ye Qinghe led her back into the inner villa. They entered the elevator and headed straight to the second floor.

The second floor was where the guest rooms are located. He and Ye Ziyu had their rooms on the third floor while the entire space on the fourth floor is Ye Linchuan’s private domain. Since there aren’t any vacant rooms on the third floor, Yeya could only temporarily stay in the guest bedroom.

“This is Yaya’s room. You will live here in the future.”

Ye Qinghe had temporarily arranged Yeya’s room last night. The bedroom faced the sun and there were a few stuffed toys that previously belonged to Ye Ziyu on the small bed.
