Yun Zhao was so excited that he was at a loss for words, because from today on, he had an adoptive father, he had family, he was no longer drifting rootlessly, no longer wandering without support!
Zhenzhen rushed over to join the excitent, wrapping an arm around Yun Zhao’s shoulder, his eyes crinkling with a smile, "Hehe, I’m not the youngest anymore, I’m a big brother now! Zhaozhao, co on, call ’Big Brother’ and let hear it!"
Who knew, Yun Zhao gave a sly smile, shook his head, and said, "I forgot to tell Zhenzhen, I was born in January, two months older than Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen should be calling ’Big Brother’ instead."
"You’re lying!" Zhenzhen’s eyes widened, pointing at him and huffing, "You clearly said before that you were born in April, how could you be older than ?"
"This, this..."
Yun Zhao scratched his head, not sure how to explain himself. Originally, he had purposely understated his age by a few months to gain Zhenzhen’s sympathy. Now, if he told the truth, Zhenzhen might be upset with him for a long ti.
Seeing that he was lost for words, Zhenzhen raised a grin again, patting his shoulder and saying, "Just be honest and be the younger brother, don’t worry, from now on your big brother will have your back!"
Yun Zhao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, looking eagerly at his adoptive father, hoping his adoptive father would say sothing. But his adoptive father was just smilingly watching the two brothers, showing no intention of intervening.
He shook his head helplessly, looking at the beaming Zhenzhen, he finally compromised and satisfied his wish to be the big brother, "Alright, from now on you’re the big brother, and I’ll be the little brother!"
"Haha, I’m the big brother, I can finally be a big brother!" Zhenzhen was overjoyed, the corners of his mouth stretching wider and wider. Just thinking that he was now a big brother and had to act mature, he reined in his silly smile, and, imitating Mo Yan’s tone when speaking to him, he touched Yun Zhao’s head and said, "Zhaozhao is so good!"
Suppressing the impulse to brush away the hand on his head, Yun Zhao kept a straight face and turned his head away, not wanting to speak to this clearly silly "big brother."
Mo Qingze couldn’t help but laugh as he watched the affectionate pair of youngsters, his heart relieved. He had feared Zhenzhen would be unhappy and embarrass Zhaozhao on the spot because he hadn’t consulted with Zhenzhen in advance. As it turned out, he had been overthinking.
Having adopted Yun Zhao as his son, he naturally couldn’t leave Yun Zhao’s sister Yun Sheng behind. Once Yun Zhao found Yun Sheng, he told her about it and sought her opinion.
Because of their biological father’s indifference, Yun Sheng had no fondness for the word "father," but seeing the warm interactions between the Mo Family father and son deep inside stirred her longing for such closeness.
Now that her brother had recognized an adoptive father, she was surprised and filled with a small hope, and without much thought, she agreed. So she followed her brother to Mo Qingze, kowtowed to him three tis with proper respect, and called out sweetly, "Adoptive father."
Yun Sheng was only five years old, still a tiny, soft bundle. Her adorable and pleasing deanor couldn’t help but remind Mo Qingze of Mo Yan as a child, making him grin broadly as he picked her up and playfully tossed her into the air.
Yun Sheng felt a little scared inside, but each ti she was caught securely by a pair of strong hands, she delightedly laughed out, an experience she had never had before, giggling joyfully.
Watching his sister’s incessant laughter, Yun Zhao felt fortunate ti and again for encountering the Mo Family. He clenched his fists tightly, silently vowing to beco strong, not to seek revenge against those who had wronged him but to protect this ho that truly ant everything to him and his sister.
Mo Yan hadn’t expected that in just the ti it took for one al, she had gained a brother and sister. She wasn’t averse to it, though. For one thing, this must have been a decision her father had carefully contemplated. Secondly, the Yun Family’s siblings had no fault in their character, so she wasn’t worried about any trouble.
