The adults were taken aback, becoming even more displeased. “Hey, what do you mean? We genuinely have your best interests at heart. How can you ask us to leave?”

She remained calm and resolute. “I don’t want to be adopted right now! I don’t want any of you to adopt me either!”

The adults widened their eyes in disbelief. “What right do you have to choose not to be adopted by us? Aren’t you just an orphan?”

“That’s right! Nowadays, can orphans choose their own parents? It’s already good that someone wants to adopt you. Do you think you’re all that just because

you’re all that just because you have some popularity? What’s

wrong with you,

Laura widened her you who lack manners!”

Frustration made her chest rise and fall, and she tried to stand up to move away from them.

But the adults aggressively blocked her path. “Wait, you haven’t heard us out yet! We genuinely want what’s best for you!”

As Laura tried to stand, she lost her balance and ended up falling onto the ground. A dull ache spread from her buttocks.

Grace exclaimed, “Laura, did you hurt yourself from that fall?”

Laura endured the pain and patted her own buttocks. She was about to get up when several pairs of hands reached out toward her.

“Come, take

my hand!”

“Hold onto mine! Hold onto mine!”

She wrinkled her nose in further aversion.

She didn’t want them touching her.

She hated these people!

In that instant, a dark figure suddenly darted forward, prying their hands open

An angry and strong voice followed. “Get lost, you bunch of monsters!”

Laura raised her head in astonishment, locking eyes with the smoothly defined jawline of Zayn.

He held her tightly, like a wolfling, and stared at the adults menacingly.

The tone in the live–streaming channel shifted abruptly. [Oh my gosh; her childhood sweetheart

descends out of nowhere!]

[The handsome young man is so charming, I like him!]

[Ah, I was really angry at first, but how did I suddenly fall for him? It’s so strangel]

[The young man is so good–looking! He is such boyfriend material!]

Laura looked at Zayn in shock

“Zayn, what are you doing here?”

The live streamers quickly reacted and scrutinized Zayn from head to toe. “Who are you, kid? What right do you have to interfere? We can do whatever we want. We’ll decide what we want to do with her. You can step aside!

Without hesitation, Zayn turned to the door and shouted, “Get something to hit them and kick

them out!”

The live streamers were taken aback, and then they saw a few boys standing behind them, eyeing them like wolves. The boys grabbed books and started throwing them at the live streamers.

“Get out of here!”

“Don’t come near us!”

“Go away!”

The adults were caught off guard, stumbling back and finally creating a path.

They panicked even more. “What are you kids doing? Have you lost your mind? We’re here to adopt a child. How can you treat us adults like this without any manners?”

Zayn reprimanded angrily, “Manners? You’re looking for manners at an orphanage? What about you? You barged in out of nowhere, ignoring the rules and getting too close to Laura. Where are

your manners?”

He held onto Laura’s hand tightly like a steadfast mountain, not even trembling.

Laura’s eyes gleamed.

Zayn…

He really was the coolest!

One female live streamer shouted as she approached, “You’re such an impolite child. Let me tell you; I’ve recorded all of this. I can see your face.”

[Madam, are you really in a position to talk about manners? How could you have the nerve?] [Idiot!]
