Chapter 212 You Are My SisterThe six-year-old Gungun doesnât clearly know about the concept of having a little sister at home.
âShe doesnât have a home? Why does she want to live in our house?â
âBecause we will be her father and mother in the future, and Gungun will be her younger brother. Your grandparents, uncle and great-grandma are also your sisterâs relatives.â Yan Hua tries to make her son understand.
âYou will have one more sister, that is, one more relative to play with and to protect you.â
Gungun seriously thinks for a while and says solemnly, âMom, although I want a sister, you canât take other peopleâs children. Her parents will miss her.â
Yan Hua smiles and kisses her sonâs small face.
She thinks that even if her son canât do anything in the future, he will be a good boy as long as he is kind and has the right values.
âGungun, your sister has no parents. She is alone and has no place to live. No one loves her, gives her fruits to eat, bathes her or buys toys for her.â
Gungunâs eyes open wide and he says, âThen we want her! Let her come to our house!â
âMom is telling you about this. If you agree, we shall let her come next week, and then you can play and go to school together later.â
Gungun curls his lips. He still doesnât want to go to school.
Yan Hua doesnât correct his mood, for he has to go to school when the time comes, anyway. When he sees other children, he will know that this is a necessary experience in life.
âThatâs it.â In the sitting room, Lang Ruoxian also explains the situation. âHua gave her a name Lang Wuyou.â
âJoy without worry.â Chang Peiâe nods. âItâs a pleasant name.â
This is a great event. Tang Yao and Tang Cao, the two have no voice also keep silent, looking at Bai Susu and waiting for her to make a decision.
âSince you and Hua agree, of course we have no objection.â Bai Susu says, âWe can afford to bring her up, but we have to discipline her attentively. In case she is really like what you say, to manage the company in the futureâ¦â
âI understand what you mean.â Lang Ruoxian answers, âIf the child had not been in the wolves, I might not think so. Wolves are very loyal animals. As long as she is tamed, she will never betray us.â
Chang Peiâe exclaims, âDonât talk so severely. Itâs just a child!â
So Lang Ruoxian goes to arrange it. Everyone is looking forward to it, especially Gungun. He has no friends in Yanjing and follows Tang Cao to play all day long. But the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and Tang Cao also starts to go out every day.
In his words, everything has recovered and it is time for loafing about.
On April 1, April Foolâs Day, Tang Family ushers in a new member. Shu Sheng goes to pick her up in person, but the first meeting is obviously different from what they imaginedâ¦
âHow thin she is! She is 8 years old?â Chang Peiâe looks at the little girl in the middle of the sitting room. The senior always love kids. âSheâs too small. She looks not so strong as our Gungun.â
The little girlâs hair is short, and her face looks smaller when hair covers her face. She looks emaciated, but her eyes are flashing cold light. She stares at each of them warily.
âDoes she still not accept human beings?â Yan Hua asks in a low voice.
Lang Ruoxian stands up, and with his actions the little girl obviously wants to bow up, but she thinks of something and quiets down again. Her eyes look straight at Lang Ruoxian, her hands on both sides, very nervous.
âYou understand what I say, donât you?â Lang Ruoxian walks up to the little girl and looks at her from a commanding position. âAfter several months of training, if you still cannot integrate into human society, then I have to throw you back into the mountains and let you continue to live a life without food.â
When she hears the word âfoodâ again, the little girlâs ears move obviously. She slowly raises her head and looks at Lang Ruoxian. âWuyou, obedient, give meat.â
âHer ears can move!â The key point of Tang Cao is this. âIs it really the habit of animals?â
Lang Ruoxian reaches out to put his hand on the little girlâs head, and everyone sees her body freeze again, apparently enduring.
âVery good, Wuyou. This is your home from today on. All present are your relatives. You must remember not to hurt them, or you will be put in a cage and have no meat to eat.â
Yan Hua pulls Lang Ruoxianâs sleeve, and Lang Ruoxian grabs her hand. âHer brutish nature hasnât been tamed. She will easily attack people without severe warning.â
âDonât be so fierce, letâs take it slowly.â Yan Hua crouches down and waves to Gungun. âCome on, come and say hello to your little sister.â
Gungun has long wanted to run over, but Bai Susu has been holding him.
âIs it all right?â Bai Susu is not quite at ease.
Yan Hua nods. âFirst of all, we have to trust her. She is my daughter.â
Then she slowly stretches out her hand to touch Wuyouâs face. Wuyou looks at Yan Hua blankly and suddenly rubs her hand.
âGood girl!â Yan Hua smiles, âI am your mom.â
âI also want it! I want it, too!â Gungun runs over. âIâm your younger brother!â As he speaks, he also reaches out his hand to Wuyouâs face. Wuyouâs eyes slowly focus on Gungun, but she doesnât rub him.
Gungun is unhappy and is about to ask why not rubbing Gungun. Then he sees Wuyou open mouth, and then a low voice comes.
âGun, Gun.â
Yan Hua is surprised. She looks at Lang Ruoxian.
âWhen training, the impression of Gungun is especially deepened.â Lang Ruoxian is very satisfied with Wuyouâs performance. It seems that the training is very successful.
Gungun is her focus. It is not because he is cruel. For now, the childâs purpose is to be a playmate and bodyguard for Gungun. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future.
âSister?â Gungun is so happy that he doesnât mind Wuyou not rubbing his hand. He just grabs the girl and calls her, âWuyou, my sister!â
Wuyou looks at the hand held and endures not to shake off. A voice in her head tells her that this is her younger brother, a very important person, more important than her own life. She cannot scratch him, otherwise she will be locked up and will have no meat to eat.
âCome on, Iâll show you to your room.â Yan Hua has tidied up a room for Wuyou the next door to Gungunâs room. She also satisfies her little princessâs dream and decorates it with pink color.
When they go up, Tang Cao chirps. âOur family is also a werewolfâs family. Weâll show off later.â
âIâm going to take Wuyou to horse racing!â Tang Yao is even more exaggerating. âLet her scare the horse which runs fast.â
Bai Susu squints at the two men. âWuyou is your niece, a child of our family. From today on, no one is allowed to mention that she is a wolf child. Do you hear me? Especially the two of you.â
âI didnât mention it!â Tang Yao betrays his son without any compunction. âXiaocao said it. Beat him!â
Chang Peiâe turns the Buddha beads in her hand. âA predestined relationship, for 100 years, will bring a man and a woman in the same boat; and for 1,000 years, will tie them in wedlock. The fate of previous life makes us become a family. Susu is right. Since Wuyou is already a child of our family, we must forget all about her past and help her start over.â
âWe have formal adoption procedures, and no one will know that she has been raised by wolves for several years. The records from Dian Province show that she was adopted by a welfare institution, and then we take her back to become our adopted daughter.â
Bai Susu takes a sip of fruit tea. âYes, itâs better to be considerate. People like us canât be careless at all, so as not to give people handles in the future.â
âIâll ask the house maid to prepare more meat for dinner.â Bai Susu says and goes to the kitchen. âThe child is too thin, and needs nutrition.â
At dinner time, only Yan Hua and Gungun go downstairs.
âWhy? She wonât come out?â
Yan Hua is somewhat helpless. âShe hides in the cloakroom and doesnât move whatever we say. She still seems to be afraid.â
âAh, poor girl.â Chang Peiâe takes a bowl and puts a chicken leg in it. âWeâll give the child some time until she can accept us.â
Bai Susu puts a bowl of rice and vegetables on the tray, and then puts in chicken legs and a big elbow. âSend her this, Hua!â
âIâll eat with my sister!â Gungun takes up his small bowl.
Yan Hua thinks for a moment and feels it will be fine. âThen you will accompany your sister upstairs for dinner these days. You should take more care of her. Although she is your elder sister, she just comes to our house. She might not be used to the life here.â
âRest assured!â Gungun pats his small chest. âIâll take care of my sister just like Xiaojiu takes care of me.â
So Gungun accompanies Wuyou to eat every day. Not only that, he also stops going out with Tang Cao and stays with Wuyou every day. For a whole month, Wuyou doesnât leave the room, until this dayâ¦
âWuyou, you wait for me to get the ice cream!â When it is time to eat snacks, Gungun is ready to go downstairs to get snacks. But he runs too fast. He just steps down a few steps before he stumbles, so he falls head down.
âGungun!â Yan Hua downstairs runs up with a scream, but it is too late.
At that time, a figure whizzes past behind Gungun. Then Wuyou sits on the steps holding Gungun. Because Gungun is taller and fatter than she is, the little girl flushes with exerting all her strength. She tries her best to hold Gungun without giving up.
âWuyou!â Gungun gets a fright, but when he finds nothing wrong, he says happily, âYou are finally willing to come out!â
Yan Hua runs up at this moment, holding the two children in her arms in terror. âGungun!â She says sternly, âDonât run on the stairs in the future. Youâve scared mom to death.â
âGungun, not afraid, Wuyou, catch.â Wuyou seriously says to Yan Hua, âNo beating, Gungun.â
Yan Hua is stunned, then her heart softens.
âMom wonât beat Gungun. Wuyou is really great. Wuyou can protect your brother.â
Gungun holds Wuyou. âWuyou, come downstairs with me and find Great-grandma. She looks forward to seeing you.â
Yan Hua carefully looks at Wuyou. The little girl hesitates for a while, then nods with the expression of facing death unflinchingly.
Everyone is very happy to know that Wuyou steps out of the room, which means that the little girl begins to accept them. After another month, Yan Hua decides to let the teachers come home to make up lessons for her two children.
âGungun is fine. He just needs make up for pre-school knowledge. But Wuyou didnât go to school before. Iâm afraid two months is not enough.â In the evening, Yan Hua lies in Lang Ruoxianâs arms, worrying. âShould she go to school a year later?â
âNo way.â Lang Ruoxian bows his head and kisses Yan Hua. âShe must be with Gungun. Besides going to school, she must also serve as a bodyguard.â
