Chapter 147 I Can't Adopt Him
"Hello, my name is KK." The little boy clung tightly to the windowsill, looking timidly at Yunzhi.
A single tuft of hair sticking up on his head swayed in the breeze, looking incredibly cute.
Yunzhi's heart softened, and she moved closer, only to be surprised to find that the little boy's eyes were a beautiful blue, sparkling in the sunlight like pure sapphires, clean and dazzling.
It turns out he's of mixed race.
His eyelashes were thick and long, fluttering like a small fan.
Because she was shy, KK gently bit her lip, her little face filled with unease.
Yunzhi tried her best to appear approachable.
"KK, is this your candy?"
KK nodded slightly and gave a soft "hmm".
His voice was so faint that Yunzhi probably couldn't hear it unless she listened carefully.
"Thank you. Is this a gift for your aunt?"
"Hmm." KK clenched her hands and nodded slightly.
His little face flushed pink.
She lowered her head shyly.
He's so well-behaved it's heartbreaking.
Yunzhi thought of what Qin Ran had said about the children in the Little Red Mansion, who were either physically weak or born with various problems. Her voice softened, as if afraid of frightening the children in front of her.
"Thank you for the gift, Auntie likes it very much. Auntie also brought you a gift."
Yunzhi took out a small dragon plush keychain from her pocket, held it up, and carefully handed it to KK.
I bought this yesterday when I went to the amusement park with Amy and Cheng Shuyan.
Yunzhi was glad that she had accidentally brought the little pendant with her when she left today, otherwise she really wouldn't know how to respond to the child's overall gift.
The little dragon looks adorable.
The vibrant colors instantly caught KK's eye.
KK's eyes were sparkling; she couldn't hide her love for the little dragon.
He fidgeted with his fingers, wanting to take the bait but unsure if he could.
"It's okay, this is a gift from your auntie just for you. I'll tell the caregiver about it in a bit, so don't be afraid."
Only then did kk cautiously reach out to take the little dragon.
He stood on tiptoe, stretched out his hand, and finally managed to grab the little dragon.
KK held the little dragon tightly. The little dragon's face, which had been pale just moments before, was now flushed, and the bangs on its forehead were stuck to its scalp because of sweat.
He smiled shyly, "Thank you, Auntie, KK likes it very much."
The little guy's voice was soft and sweet, like a fragrant little sugar cake.
"You're welcome. Auntie will bring KK even more gifts in the future."
"No need, no need, KK really likes this little dragon."
KK pinched the little dragon, her head bowed, her joy practically radiating from her eyes.
So easily satisfied.
Yunzhi squatted under the windowsill, watching KK laugh, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.
For a moment, Yunzhi even had the idea of adopting KK.
KK and Ye Ze are two extremes.
Although it was only for a short while, she experienced the joy of raising a child through KK.
"Miss Yun." At this moment, a voice broke the silence between them.
KK was so frightened that she shuddered.
Yunzhi frowned, and just as she was about to comfort KK, she saw KK shrink back.
Then she heard hurried footsteps coming from the other side.
The footsteps quickly faded into the distance.
Yunzhi knew that KK had already left. A hint of regret flashed in her eyes. She had been planning to play with KK a little longer.
At this moment, Qin Ran came around from the other side of the wall.
When he saw Yunzhi, his eyes lit up, and he jogged over.
"Miss Yun, I've been looking for you for a while. If the security guard at the gate hadn't said he hadn't seen you leave, I would have thought you had already left."
Yunzhi doesn't want to see Qin Ran for the time being.
Seeing Qin Ran reminded her of Yu Baisu and Tongtong, who died tragically in her previous life.
Her feelings towards Qin Ran are now very complicated.
Looking at the sincerity and concern on Qin Ran's face, Yunzhi sighed softly, suppressing her irritation, "I just took a walk and ended up here. Have you finished your work?"
"Now that I'm done with my work, Miss Yun, would you like to stroll around with me for a while longer?"
Yunzhi glanced at the time. Although she had nothing to do in the afternoon, she didn't plan to stay any longer.
"No need, I've seen everything I wanted to see. Maybe next time. It's getting late, I'm about to leave."
Qin Ran felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.
"I see. Miss Yun, then I'll see you out."
Yunzhi did not refuse this time.
The two walked side by side towards the outside. At this moment, Yunzhi noticed that gaze again. She turned around and met KK's gaze, who was standing by the window.
KK seemed startled, but still mustered up the courage to hold the little dragon and wave at Yunzhi, looking both cute and obedient.
Yunzhi's smile unconsciously widened.
But the next second, KK disappeared again.
"Miss Yun, what are you looking at?" Qin Ran noticed Yun Zhi staring intently at one spot and smiling. Curious, she looked over, but saw nothing except for a blurry window and a dilapidated building.
Yunzhi was about to say it was nothing, but then she changed her mind.
"Dr. Qin, what illness does KK have?"
Qin Ran's smile faltered. He turned his head to look towards the door, not answering Yun Zhi's question, but instead asking a question in return.
"Miss Yun just ran into KK?"
"Yes, he's very well-behaved. How old is KK this year? Actually, I want to adopt KK, I..."
Before Yunzhi could finish speaking, Qin Ran exclaimed excitedly, "No way!"
No?
What doesn't work?
Can't we adopt KK?
Yunzhi looked puzzled, not understanding why it wouldn't work.
If Qin Ran truly cared for KK's well-being, she should know that KK would be better off being adopted by her than staying in an orphanage.
Qin Ran quickly realized that her reaction was somewhat impulsive.
He gave a wry smile and tried to salvage the situation.
“KK, KK has congenital heart disease and needs a heart transplant. Also, as you just saw, Miss Yun, he is very sensitive and timid. So… if Miss Yun wants to adopt other children, I would absolutely welcome them. It’s just that KK is very special.”
No wonder KK's lips looked purple just now; it turns out it's because she has a congenital heart condition.
Is this really the only reason Qin Ran doesn't want her to adopt KK?
There must be other children in the orphanage whose conditions are even more serious than KK's, right?
Yunzhi felt that something was wrong.
She glanced at Qin Ran's hand, which was clenched into a fist and hanging limply to her side.
Yunzhi looked away, her smile not reaching her eyes as she looked at Qin Ran.
“I just feel a connection with KK. KK needs a heart transplant for her illness, right? Can the orphanage afford such a large sum of money for KK's surgery? Even if they can, can the orphanage take care of KK in all aspects of her recovery afterward?”
Of course it is impossible.
With so many children in the welfare home, it's inevitable that there will be times when things are overlooked.
Qin Ran opened her mouth, but couldn't find a reason to refute it.
He wanted to say that he was already saving money for KK's medical treatment, and there was more...
But he knew that KK was sensitive and needed companionship even more.
