Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qu Meng’er wanted to see where she was now. What happened just now? However, before Qu Meng’er could sort out what had happened, she heard a boy’s voice. “I clearly heard the sound of a baby crying just now. Why isn’t it there now?”

“Little Xuan, could it be that you misheard? Why would there be the sound of a baby crying in this place?” As he spoke, the boy reached out and pulled his younger brother who was beside him. “Little Xuan, let’s go. Stop looking. Mom and dad are still waiting for us to go back home for dinner.”

Qu Meng’er heard the movements of the two boys and seemed to be about to leave. When Qu Meng’er felt that the two brothers were about to leave, her mind immediately reacted. She could not let them leave. If they left, her small body might not be able to survive for the rest of the night.

Therefore, when the two brothers turned around and left, Qu Meng’er started to cry at the top of her lungs. Initially, Qu Meng’er wanted to use the sound of crying to lure the two brothers over. However, when she started to cry, she really could not stop.

She was completely immersed in the emotions of her previous life. The grievance, sadness, and the repeated injuries of her parents in her previous life were all channeled into her tears. They flowed out of Qu Meng’er’s eyes.

“Did I hear wrong? There’s the sound of a baby crying.” The boy called Little Xuan broke free from his brother’s hand and walked over to the crying sound.

The older boy did not stop his brother this time. He followed in his brother’s footsteps and came over. He was quite surprised. He did not expect that there would really be a baby in this place.

After all, this place was the most desolate place in their village. Usually, no one would come here. Today, his brother dragged him here because they heard the sound of a baby crying.

“Come here quickly. There really is a baby here,” the boy named Little Xuan shouted excitedly to his brother behind him when he saw the figure covered in a red blanket lying on the pile of weeds.

Qu Meng’er, who was immersed in her emotions from her previous life, stopped crying when she heard the boy’s voice. She had achieved her goal of attracting people over, and the sadness and grievances from her previous life had mostly been vented out.

However, Qu Meng’er had been crying too hard and too energetically just now, so it was a little difficult for her to stop crying all of a sudden. Although she was no longer crying at the top of her lungs, there was still some sobbing.

The person called Little Xuan waited for his brother to walk over to his side. He held his brother’s hand and ran excitedly to the pile of weeds where Qu Meng’er was. Then, he tiptoed and moved forward with all his strength. Only then did he clearly see the face of the baby wrapped in the little blanket. When he saw it, the smile on his face became even more brilliant. “It’s a girl.”

When this person called Little Xuan leaned his head forward, Qu Meng’er, who had stopped crying, also saw Little Xuan’s appearance clearly. His face was dirty, but he was not ugly at all. What Qu Meng’er liked was little Xuan’s eyes, pure and bright. This was a gaze that Qu Meng’er had never seen before.

When Qu Meng’er saw Little Xuan’s pure and bright eyes, she unconsciously revealed a toothless smile to Little Xuan.

And this smile of Qu Meng’er’s happened to be seen by Little Xuan and his brother. “She’s smiling at me. She was crying just now, but now she’s smiling when she sees us. Does she like us very much? Let’s carry her back and make her our sister.”

Qu Meng’er saw that when Little Xuan said this, a trace of surprise flashed across his brother’s face. Then, he said, “Little Xuan, didn’t you say that you don’t like your younger sister?” Whenever adults usually joked with him that their mother was going to give birth to a younger brother or sister for them, Little Xuan’s violent appearance… was not a joke.

Little Xuan obviously also remembered what he had said and done previously, immediately, he said a little embarrassedly, “That’s because Little Mu’s younger brother and sister are both so ugly, and they even cry all day long. It’s so annoying. But she is different. Look at her, she’s so cute.”

Following Little Xuan’s words, Little Xuan’s brother looked at the little baby wrapped in a red blanket. It was really just as his brother had said. She was soft and chubby, and so cute that he wanted to reach out and poke her little face. “She’s quite cute.” Little Xuan’s brother had to admit that this little baby really looked different from the other little babies in their village.

“Then, brother, can we take her back and treat her as our sister?” Little Xuan heard his brother agree with him, and he immediately smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits.

Qu Meng’er, who was lying under the red blanket, opened her big eyes and rolled them around. She kept her ears perked up as she listened to the brothers’ conversation. When she heard that the most important part of the brothers’ conversation was the question of where she would go…

Qu Meng’er’s two small hands, which were hidden under the small quilt, unconsciously clenched together. She was nervous. How could she not be nervous? She was a real baby now, a baby who could not take care of herself at all. No matter how powerful she was in her previous life, she could only rely on others to survive now. If the two boys did not take her away from this pile of weeds, she would definitely not live past tonight.

Because her stomach had long been empty.

Little Xuan’s brother hesitated for a moment and said, “We can carry her home first, but I can’t guarantee that she will be our sister.”

“Then brother, you carry her. Let’s go back.” Little Xuan wanted to reach out to carry her, but he was small and had never carried a child before, so he handed this difficult task to his brother.

When Qu Meng’er heard Little Xuan’s brother’s answer, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether Little Xuan’s family would adopt her or not, the matter of her being able to continue living could be considered settled.

Ever since Qu Meng’er woke up, her tense nerves could finally relax at this time. Qu Meng’er, who had relaxed, was held in Little Xuan’s brother’s arms.. She swayed and her eyelids gradually grew heavier. In the end, she could not bear it anymore and fell asleep
