Although, in this world, Mu Qingnian and his parents were only separated for a few days, but for Mu Qingnian, it was a long-awaited reunion after many years. After hugging his parents and crying for a long time, Mu Qingnian finally sobbed and calmed down his emotions. Mu Qingnian's parents also finally calmed down and kept thanking the police next to them.

Since they had just found their relatives, they still needed to go back to the Public Security Bureau to make some records, so the police proposed to send them back now. At this moment, Mu Qingnian suddenly grabbed her parents' sleeves, and her big eyes, which were moist from crying just now, looked at her parents without blinking, full of requests...

Mu Fengting and Lin Wanru, who had just recovered their baby, could not bear this. They quickly squatted down and asked her what was wrong. The girl whispered, "Dad, Mom, during the days when I was kidnapped, a little brother saved my life, and it was he who took me to the police station. Without him, I would not be able to come back... and... he hasn't found his parents yet, so... so I... can I take him home?"

Mu Fengting and Lin Wanru were stunned. They knew their daughter was kind, but because they didn't know the situation, they didn't agree immediately. Lin Wanru asked, "Did you just meet this little brother? Was he also abducted?"

Mu Qingnian nodded quickly, "Yes, mom, I've been kidnapped for seven years. It's so pitiful. If it weren't for him, I would have been beaten to death by the bad guys..."

Mu Qingnian recounted what happened that night in detail, and emphasized how pitiful Gu Min was that night, fearing that his parents would not agree. Although Mu Qingnian knew that his parents were kind, after all, he was bringing a person home, and his parents were so cautious that they would probably hesitate.

Lin Wanru looked at her daughter's eager explanation and felt a little shaken. She looked at her husband and asked what he meant. Mu Fengting turned to the police and asked, "Excuse me, in this case, can we adopt this child?"

The police shook his head and said, "The adoption procedures cannot be completed for the time being because we are still confirming his parents' information. If his parents are deceased or have special difficulties and cannot raise him, you can legally adopt him. Now you can send him to an orphanage for temporary residence."

Hearing about the orphanage, Mu Qingnian suddenly remembered the uncontrollable resentment in the boy's eyes when he faced the choice of the orphanage when the two of them escaped. Although she didn't know what happened to him before, it was obvious that the orphanage might not be a good choice for him...

Mu Qingnian thought for a moment and said, "Auntie Police, can we let Gu Mingge stay at our house until his parents are found? Just temporarily, and without occupying the welfare home's public resources, is that okay?"

The female police officer was a little embarrassed, "This... Logically speaking... it's not possible..."

Before she could finish, Mu Qingnian once again acted like a spoiled brat, "Please, police aunt! We are only letting Gu Ming stay temporarily. If we find his parents, we will let him leave, okay?"

The policewoman sighed and turned to report to her superior. After she left, Mu Fengting and Lin Wanru squatted down again. This time, Mu Fengting asked his daughter very seriously, "Niannian, I understand that you want to take your savior home, but if the police don't allow it, we can't. We can't cause trouble for them, understand?"

Mu Qingnian lowered his head and muttered, "I know..."

Lin Wanru advised, "Okay, Qingnian is also grateful, don't scold her." Then, she turned to Mu Qingnian and said, "Niannian, can I go with you to see the little brother?"

Mu Qingnian suddenly looked up, her eyes full of hope. Lin Wanru didn't want to see her daughter unhappy, so she put on a gentle smile and said, "I have to see what kind of little brother he is. He saved our daughter's life. We have to thank him in person, right?"

"Okay, Mom!" Mu Qingnian thought that when her mother saw Gu Min's current appearance, she would definitely feel distressed, and then she would agree to let him go home with her.

When the three of them walked to the door of the ward, Gu Min was still in the same state as when the girl left, sitting there blankly, looking out the window, not knowing what he was thinking. Mu Qingnian glanced through the glass door, knocked on the door gently, and caught the boy's thoughts back from his wandering state...

"Brother Gu Min! My parents are here and want to see you. Is it convenient?" The girl did not push the door open immediately, but asked politely. She knew that he was different from the familiar Gu Min who disguised himself very well. He was sensitive and fragile now...

Gu Min heard the girl's sweet voice and was about to respond when he heard her say that her parents were coming to see him. He immediately panicked... Thinking of the girl's proposal, he couldn't control his emotions. Would her parents hate him? Would they think that he was wishful thinking when he wanted to go home with her? Would they... leave him here alone?

A lot of thoughts were running through his mind, but he still responded quickly, "Okay, come in."

After years of living in a low position, he had already developed the habit of reading people's expressions. So when the three people came in, he saw the couple's undisguised doting and love for the girl. The small ward was instantly divided into two spaces. He was out of tune with them...

"Hello, is this Gu Min? I'm Mu Qingnian's mother, hello." Lin Wanru saw that the boy was a little uncomfortable and took the initiative to greet him. Mu Fengting beside him also said, "Hello, I'm Mu Qingnian's father."

Gu Min quickly sat up straight, bowed slightly, and replied, "Hello, I'm Gu Min. I'm really sorry, I'm injured and can't get out of bed."

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "It's okay, just lie down. We are here to thank you for saving our Qingnian. She said that if it weren't for you, she would have been beaten by the bad guys that night... You are really amazing at such a young age."

Gu Min turned his gaze to Mu Qingnian, who was tugging at her mother's sleeve and looking at him with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness, "Uncle and aunt, I don't deserve this thank you. If it weren't for Qingnian, I might not have survived that night. I should thank her."

After just a few words, Lin Wanru and Mu Fengting had seen the boy's character. He was a good kid who was calm and sensible. He was only ten years old. Thinking of what Qingnian had just mentioned, that he had been kidnapped and lived in darkness for seven years, they couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in their hearts...

When the two were about to say something, the nurse came in to change the gauze for Gu Min's wound. Gu Min gestured to the two and cooperated with the dressing change. Mu Fengting and Lin Wanru also saw for the first time how terrible the wound on this thin-looking boy was...

Each one... showed the inhumane torture the boy had suffered...

The balance in my heart has already tilted, slowly heading in the direction Qingnian expects...
