People have different fates. Even though some children have parents, they are worse off than having no parents. Some parents are not even worthy of being called parents.

There are several children in the orphanage who were abandoned by their parents, perhaps for various unknown reasons, but it also brought heavy shackles to the young children.

He once saw a child talking about the day he was abandoned by his parents, and he remembered it as if it were yesterday.

Even so, there was still relief in his tone, as if he had reconciled with his parents' actions. However, the tears he wiped away quietly still revealed the child's reluctance.

They grow up early because of setbacks and can understand their parents' hard work and helplessness, but they are not saints and cannot completely forget all the troubles.

Bai Menggui pulled Lin Shengpu aside. His slightly long eyelashes drooped, and the teardrop mole at the right corner of his eye further highlighted his handsomeness and elegance with an ancient temperament.

Even after so many years of getting along, Lin Shengpu couldn't help but be shocked by his stunning looks every time, and sighed that he had been filming for many years but was still not very popular.

Seeing that Bai Menggui had not spoken for a long time and seemed to be hesitant, he asked Bai Menggui questioningly.

Bai Menggui blinked his eyes, looking somewhat uneasy. He pursed his lips before uttering the words that had been lingering in his heart for a long time.

"I want to adopt a child."

His pupils flickered slightly. Although he was not famous, he was still somewhat well-known. Now he was on the most popular live broadcast room, and the smooth road ahead was obvious to the naked eye.

However, if you adopt a child, even if it is not your biological child, the paparazzi will probably spread all kinds of unsightly gossip.

This will definitely have an impact on his career, and he understands this very well.

But when he thought of that strange yet familiar little face, he couldn't let go of his worry.

Lin Shengpu frowned when he heard what Bai Menggui said. As his agent, the first thing he thought of was his career.

However, after spending many years together, I know Bai Menggui's character and I know that he is not the kind of person who would attack without reason.

"Can you tell me why?"

Bai Menggui looked up and saw Lin Shengpu's clear eyes full of concern for him, which swept away the depression in his heart.

"You know my family background, right?"

Bai Menggui turned around and looked into the distance absentmindedly, his eyes full of melancholy.

Lin Shengpu walked slightly closer to him and leaned towards him to make his position clear.

But even so, he didn't want Bai Menggui to hide anything from him, so that he could clarify it as soon as possible when others slandered him.

"Maybe I was not born to have a family. I lived in an orphanage since I was a child, and then I was adopted. When I was an adult, both my parents died, and in the end, I was left alone."

Perhaps because of his childhood experiences, he has no aspirations for love. Even at the age of 35, there are still very few people of the opposite sex around him.

Lin Shengpu's children are old enough to help with cooking, but he still shows no signs of getting married.

"There was a deaf-mute child in the orphanage I visited today who looked a bit like my first love."

Lin Shengpu was still thinking about comforting her when he heard the first sentence, but when he heard the second sentence, a black question mark appeared on his face. (o'w'o)?

He hurriedly interrupted Bai Menggui's words with an urgent tone.

"I know you're anxious, but don't worry. Don't you want to do as in the novels and raise a substitute from childhood? If that's the case, don't blame me for killing my own relatives for the sake of justice."

Lin Shengpu raised his cell phone and looked at Bai Menggui with vigilance, as if if Bai Menggui really said yes next, he would really call 110.

After Lin Shengpu's disturbance, Bai Menggui's original sadness disappeared completely, and what followed was speechlessness towards Lin Shengpu.

He also knew that Lin Shengpu did this on purpose to help him get out of his bad mood.

"Fuck you! Am I that kind of person?"

Bai Menggui said with a gruff smile, then he became serious.

"I asked the director and confirmed the name. He is the child of my first love and another brother I know in the orphanage. But the hemp rope always breaks at the thinnest part, and misfortune only favors the unfortunate."

He sighed softly, and recalled the voices and smiles of the two people, as if they were still vivid in his mind. It was a pity that the people were gone and the living were like this.

"First love in the orphanage?"

Lin Shengpu couldn't help but ask. He had Bai Menggui's detailed information in his hand. He remembered that he was only eight or nine years old when he was adopted from the orphanage? Did he go back afterwards?

Bai Menggui finally couldn't stand Lin Shengpu's interruption anymore and rolled her eyes at him, the filter of the handsome man in ancient costume shattered.

"Okay, okay, I'm precocious, okay? And I'm secretly in love with someone, and no one else knows."

Bai Menggui said angrily.

"Oh~"

Lin Shengpu's simple words are particularly meaningful.

"Just tell me if it's okay."

He has completely given up on image management, he said helplessly to Lin Shengpu.

His face was full of fearlessness. After all, he had no background and it was all due to his own hard work that he got to where he is today.

He has been acting in the entertainment industry for many years. Although he has never played the leading male role, his best role is no better than the second male lead.

I have some savings, so whether I quit or continue, I'll just see what happens.

The two turned off the radio while chatting, and the camera could only see two people hiding in the corner and talking about something intensely.

There were also many fans of Bai Menggui in the live broadcast room, and they were curious about what the two were discussing.

They were so curious that they naturally typed it out in the barrage.

Mo Hepu glanced at the comments in the live broadcast room and curled his lips.

Although he was called a profiteer by his own old employees, he was not that cunning.

And he was also very considerate. Both of them turned off their radios, which clearly showed that they didn't want the broadcast to be made public. Why did he specifically ask the cameraman to come forward? Didn't he think he was annoying enough?

However, after the recording ended that day, Mo Hepu also knew the root cause of the argument between Bai Menggui and the others.

"You want to raise Xiao Xue?"

Since he was going to tell Mo Hepu, Bai Menggui naturally explained the whole cause and effect in detail. Mo Hepu's surprised voice rang out in the empty villa.

He didn't expect that fate was so coincidental that Bai Menggui happened to meet the child of an acquaintance.

He thought about it for a few minutes and nodded.

"You are famous for your acting skills anyway, not for the traffic fans, so you don't have to worry about your reputation being ruined."

Mo Hepu believes in relaxation in moderation. He should relax where necessary in terms of management and control, and be strict where necessary.

Mo Hepu said that he could accept his artists adopting children.

"But, if you get married in the future, what will happen to Xiao Xue?"

As a sponsor of the orphanage, Mo Hepu is very concerned about the children's situation. He would rather the children not be adopted than be abandoned after adoption, as such harm would be even more painful.

"I can't guarantee that I will change my mind and get married in the future, but I don't have this idea at the moment. Even if I really get married, I will definitely find someone who can accept Xiao Xue."

He said this righteously, and the certainty between his brows made people believe it.

"Okay, then you can go and handle the formalities while you are free during the recording, and you can take Xiao Xue home after it's over."

After hearing what his boss said, Bai Menggui finally let go of the stone in his heart. Thinking of the word "home", the muscles in his body that had been tense due to tension relaxed, and he even felt a slight soreness and numbness.

Lin Shengpu originally brought Bai Meng back to participate in the recording only because he thought that the changes in the program rules would allow for role-playing.

Bai Menggui's acting skills were revealed to the audience, but who would have thought that Bai Menggui brought back a child during this recording.

In another sense, this is also beneficial to him.

Xiao Xue’s full name is Xue Jiajie, and he is an eight-year-old deaf-mute boy.

I heard from the director that Xue Jiajie's parents are both orphans, without a father or a mother.

Both of his parents were medical workers, and unfortunately they died in the "storm". The weak child went to handle the follow-up procedures for his parents himself, and then came to this orphanage with his own luggage.

He is very sensible and can take care of himself. He never causes the director or volunteers to worry about him, and sometimes he even helps take care of other children.

Bai Menggui dealt with everything and came to Nanmo Orphanage again.

The dean was still dressed the same as before, with a look of understanding in her gentle eyes.

"From the first time I came here and saw your attitude towards Xiao Xue, I knew you were going to take him back. Please take good care of him, he is a sensible child."

Bai Menggui came in front of Xue Jiajie, his eyes were uneasy. He squatted down and spoke to Xue Jiajie clearly.

"I want to adopt and take care of you. Will you come home with me?"

During their previous interactions, he knew that Xue Jiajie could read lips, but he was not very proficient in sign language and was afraid of making vocabulary mistakes.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, he wanted to let the child know his attitude in person.

In order to make Xue Jiajie understand, he spoke very slowly, and made full use of the clear and melodious pronunciation that was a result of an actor's practice of delivering lines.

Bai Menggui was also staring at Xue Jiajie the whole time, paying attention to his expression, fearing that he would resist. When Bai Menggui finished speaking, the child's small pupils suddenly shrank.

"I came from the same orphanage as your parents. I hope I can continue to take care of you on behalf of your parents."

Bai Menggui opened his phone. The only few photos in the album were photos of him and his adoptive parents, as well as a group photo of him and the orphanage as a child, which included him, Xue Jiajie's parents and a group of friends.

Xue Jiajie touched the portraits of his parents when they were young in his mobile phone album with his little hand, and his eyes suddenly became moist.

The director's aunt was standing by, hoping to help translate with sign language when Xue Jiajie spoke.

But instead, a hoarse and even stuttering voice was heard, slowly coming out from this area.

The voice was childish and unfamiliar.

"...You...know...my parents?"

Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, Xue Jiajie's tone was a little flat, without any ups and downs.

The director was a little shocked. The sound came from Xue Jiajie. Wasn't he a deaf-mute? !

Bai Menggui was also shocked. He was ready to take Xue Jiajie to the hospital for examination, treatment, and even surgery after adopting him.

But he is not mute, so is he really deaf and mute as shown in the records?

When Xue Jiajie saw the gaze of the dean, he lowered his head suddenly, with a look of shame on his face.

The dean was so kind to him, but he cheated on him.

"……sorry."

Xue Jiajie apologized anxiously, and his already unfamiliar speech became even more stuttering.

When the director saw the dark head in front of her, perhaps because of her many years of experience in educating children, her heart was unusually strong and able to tolerate everything.

She knew that Xue Jiajie must have his own difficulties, but she could also understand.

Bai Menggui stood at the side, watching the conversation between Xue Jiajie and the dean's aunt, feeling like an outsider and out of place.

But after all, he and Xue Jiajie had just gotten along for a short time, so it was natural for this situation to happen.

He was mentally prepared that after getting along with each other, he would definitely make Xue Jiajie accept him.

The director gently stroked Xue Jiajie's head. She squatted down, looked at Xue Jiajie at eye level, and asked him gently.

"Can I ask you why?"

Some of the children who come into the orphanage are too young and cannot speak, so they are organized to go for physical examinations.

For those who can speak and are more sensible, we will let them fill in the information themselves.

The deaf-mute information listed in Xue Jiajie's current profile was filled out by himself.

After all, when the kindergarten was not subsidized, the financial resources were limited and it was impossible for every child to have a physical examination.

This is how Xue Jiajie got away with it.

Xue Jiajie lowered his head, his eyes full of sadness. He didn't want to lie to the Dean, who was so kind to them.

His hands insecurely grasped the corners of his clothes, causing them to become wrinkled.

"That's...that's it. I don't want to be adopted. I think as long as I'm deaf and dumb and have a disability...no one will adopt me. I miss my mom and dad."

As soon as he started talking, he spoke more and more fluently, and Xue Jiajie spoke a long string of words in a row.

When he finished speaking, the tears in his eyes burst out.

No matter how precocious and sensible he looks, he is just an eight-year-old child.

"My dear, how come you know sign language?"

The dean patted his head soothingly and then asked further questions.

"When my parents were still alive, they often took me to the orphanage where they grew up. I also saw the photo in Uncle Xiaobai's hand in the orphanage."

While wiping his tears, he raised his finger and pointed at the mobile phone in Bai Menggui's hand. When Bai Menggui heard it, he clenched his hand holding the phone slightly, raised it up, and then put it down weakly.

"The people there are about my age, or some are younger than me. My mother taught me sign language. After I learned it, I can play with the children there and take better care of them."

The director asked all the questions she wanted to know and then slowly held the child, who had experienced so much, in her arms.

In her gentle and soft embrace, Xue Jiajie felt as if he was back in his mother's arms. He suddenly burst into tears, and the voice that had been suppressed for a long time was released by him, attracting many children around to watch.

Xue Jiajie buried himself in the director's arms and cried. Some children used sign language to ask the director what was going on.

The director explained everything to them. The children didn't understand what was being hidden. They only knew that Xue Jiajie was going to have a new family and be adopted. They thought Xue Jiajie couldn't bear to leave them and didn't want to go.
