Chapter 51: Brother Has a Really Sharp Tongue
Xiao Ying snorted in laughter.
Cheng Yang looked at her helplessly. “Are you that happy?”
Xiao Ying smiled and nodded. “Everyone says that you have a bad temper and a sharp tongue. I didn’t expect it to be true.”
Cheng Yang recalled his public reputation and his expression froze. He rapped Xiao Ying’s head and said gruffly, “Who am I helping to get revenge? You little ungrateful thing.”
When Xiao Ying got into Cheng Yang’s car, she still felt like everything that happened was a little unreal.
“Brother, are you really going to adopt me?” she asked.
Cheng Yang smiled evilly and said, “What, you don’t agree to it? It’s too late for you to disagree. You’ll be part of my family soon.”
Xiao Ying also smiled and said, “Okay, then you must treat me well. When you’re old, I’ll take care of all your needs.”
Cheng Yang couldn’t help but laugh again.
Xiao Ying was not in a daze this time. “Brother, you look better when you smile. Otherwise, you look like an old man.”
Cheng Yang scoffed and stroked Xiao Ying’s head without looking back. “You too.”
Xiao Ying was stunned.
By the time she reacted, the topic of conversation was already over. Neither of them brought it up again.
Arriving at Cheng Yang’s house again, Xiao Ying entered her room with familiarity.
She realized that the style of the room had changed dramatically.
The original monochrome design had turned into a pink princess theme, and there were cute dolls arranged on the bed.
Xiao Ying opened the wardrobe. There were all kinds of clothes inside, and half of them were dresses.
Cheng Yang leaned against the door and said, “Do you like it? I heard children like things like this. If you don’t, I’ll help you change it.”
Xiao Ying’s eyes were a little wet, but she spoke teasingly. “Brother, did you plan to abduct me home a long time ago?”
“I was just worried that a certain little kid who’s always lost wouldn’t be able to find their way home again,” Cheng Yang retorted, not backing down.
Xiao Ying laughed and chased him out.
An unknown emotion surged in her heart.
Xiao Ying hung the seven-colored lamp she had been carrying like a treasure the entire time on the headboard of the bed.
With Cheng Yang to compare to, Xiao Ying was realizing more and more that the love she had received in her previous life was cheap and superficial.
Xiao Ying lay on the bed and hugged a doll tightly. “Amulet,” she chanted in her heart.
“I’m here, Master.”
“I think I like the feeling of having Cheng Yang as my brother.”
“He is indeed very good to you.”
“But I’m a little afraid.”
“What are you afraid of, Master?”
Xiao Ying did not reply.
Ssss—A noise sounded in her mind. Clearly, the amulet could not understand Xiao Ying’s complicated thoughts.
Xiao Ying closed her eyes and said, “Open the learning panel.”
The amulet immediately said, “Yes.”
Various courses appeared in front of Xiao Ying. She did not dare to look at the intermediate courses but chose a beginner medical course.
The amulet: “Do you want to learn it immediately?”
‘Yes.’
Xiao Ying’s soul left her body again and came to her sea of consciousness with familiarity. She looked at the distant ball of light and a wave of heat surged forth.
After a while, a cool feeling filled her entire body as layers of text flashed around her in a circle.
When the light disappeared, Xiao Ying opened her eyes.
Only two hours had passed. It seemed like the time she needed to study the elementary classes was getting shorter and shorter.
Sensing Xiao Ying’s thoughts, the amulet said, “Master, it must be because your body directly absorbed his aura, so your soul has become stronger.”
Xiao Ying nodded. The container had gotten stronger, so the things inside had also become stronger.
Xiao Ying sorted through the things in her mind and then went to sleep with ease.
The next day, when Cheng Yang brought Xiao Ying’s school uniform over, she remembered just then that she was a primary school student who had to go to school.
She slowly put on her clothes, her eyes blurry as her little head bobbed sleepily.
