Senior, don't be afraid, I'll protect you.

That evening, Luo Ye went to a room.

Fan Jian said, "This is my son's room. It's been empty since he went out to work. You can sleep here."

“Okay, Uncle,” Luo Ye said politely.

But Fan Jian frowned.

uncle?

Whom are you calling uncle?

He looked back at the next room, which was Fan Xinya's and Su Baizhou's room.

There are three rooms in their courtyard: his and his wife's room, his son's room, and an empty room.

After he brought Fan Xinya back from Hangzhou, she moved into an empty room. Originally, if Su Baizhou came back, she would stay in Luo Ye's room, but since Luo Ye was there, Su Baizhou could only sleep in the same bed with her mother.

The toilet is in the yard, so you have to go outside to use it.

Luo Ye was still a little unaccustomed to this.

However, when in Rome, do as the Romans do; there's no other way.

But Fan Jian didn't leave. He plopped down on the kang (a heated brick bed) in Luo Ye's room and asked with a serious expression, "Kid, what's on my family's plate that you've got your eye on?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye adopted a serious expression.

He dared not hide anything from his uncle.

He's already at his senior's house. If he still says he doesn't like her, he can guess that his uncle will kick him out of the house in the next second.

Luo Ye was so nervous that he didn't even notice what to call her.

"do not know!"

Luo Ye answered with great confidence. Then, seeing Fan Jian's fierce expression, he shrank back and said seriously, "I can't explain it, but senior is really outstanding. I like everything about senior whenever it's mentioned."

Upon hearing this, Fan Jian nodded in agreement.

That's right, their food is indeed exceptionally good.

However, his sister's marriage was not happy, so as her uncle, he had to be strict about his niece's important life events.

"Kid, what does your family do?"

"Oh? My aunt and uncle own a company; they make game software."

"Who asked about your aunt? I'm asking about your parents."

Fan Jian stared fiercely at Luo Ye.

Answering a question irrelevantly and changing the subject will result in a significant deduction of points.

"Parents? I don't have any."

Luo Ye said this calmly, clearly having grown up without parents, he was used to it.

"What?" Fan Jian frowned and looked at Luo Ye in confusion.

"I have no parents; they died when I was too young to remember anything."

Fan Jian was stunned by the calm expression on the young man's face.

How to make Fan Jian feel guilty in just one sentence.

Luo Ye did it.

Upon hearing this, Fan Jian felt as if he had been pricked by needles, and he was extremely distressed.

He also has children and is a father, so it's easy for him to imagine his own child growing up alone without parents...

But... no.

Fan Jian once again revealed a determined expression.

He couldn't be soft-hearted. Fan Xinya's example was a good example. No matter how pitiful Luo Ye was, he was still an outsider. He had to think about Su Baizhou.

His niece is very outstanding; I heard she got a guaranteed admission to graduate school at Jiangda University. Soon, the Fan family will have its first graduate student. Moreover, she is beautiful, so Fan Jian has high standards for her future boyfriend.

Gaining the consent of these parents isn't something you can achieve by playing the victim.

Moreover, it's not that he discriminates against children without parents. Growing up in a bad family environment, they have very different personalities and are prone to disagreements with others.

He can sympathize with others, but he cannot risk his own family members.

Wait, this kid didn't say "passed away," he said "sacrificed"? What does that mean?

"The sacrifice you're talking about is..." Fan Jian asked in silence.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye recalled his aunt's words.

His parents did not abandon him on purpose; they are the people who love him most in the world.

But their identities destined them to be unable to stay with their loved ones, and they ultimately sacrificed themselves in the process of apprehending criminals.

Upon hearing this story, Fan Jian burst into tears.

"What a despicable criminal!"

He slammed his fist on the headboard, then hugged Luo Ye and solemnly said, "Child, from now on, I am your uncle, your family."

Luo Ye: ...

You're too sentimental.

Luo Ye gained Fan Jian's approval.

But it's actually not very useful.

In this family, Fan Jian's status was only higher than his son's, and even lower than that of the big yellow dog in the yard.

Dahuang is an old yellow dog that I've had for almost ten years. It's a fierce and powerful guard dog, much more useful than Fan Jian.

After Fan Jian left, Luo Ye lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) and looked at the somewhat rough ceiling.

Although it's not as noisy as the city, it gives people a warm feeling.

Luo Ye began to recall his experiences of the day.

The image that flashed through my mind quickly settled on the way my fairy-like senior leaned on my shoulder on the bus.

Thinking of this, Luo Ye rolled around on the kang (a heated brick bed), extremely excited and unable to calm down.

Fortunately, he finished writing the update for the novel this morning; otherwise, readers would have had to make do with this today.

late at night.

Luo Ye was awakened by the urge to urinate.

He sat up groggily in bed, then stared blankly at himself.

The toilet...where is the toilet?

Luo Ye put on his slippers, then opened the door to his room and went out into the yard.

In the countryside, the nights can be described as completely dark without moonlight.

At this point, Luo Ye could see nothing at all.

Luo Ye wandered around the yard, looking for the location of the toilet.

Soon, he arrived at a small, dark room.

He couldn't find the light, so he turned on his phone's flashlight.

Looking at the state of the small, dark room and smelling the pungent odor in the air, Luo Ye confirmed that this was indeed the toilet.

After finishing his business, Luo Ye turned off the flashlight and came out of the toilet.

Just then, a figure walked in and bumped into Luo Ye.

Su Baizhou cried out in pain. Hearing his senior's voice, Luo Ye reacted quickly. He stepped forward and put his arm around Su Baizhou's waist. Just as he was about to show off, his foot suddenly slipped and he fell.

But before he fell to the ground, he pulled Su Baizhou in front of him, making her the one to fall down with him.

"Senior, are you alright?" Luo Ye asked.

"fine."

Su Baizhou looked at the young man who was pressed against her, her tone neither sad nor happy, but in the dark night, Luo Ye could not see her already flushed face.

It was so dark that we couldn't see anything except for a tiny glimmer of light in their eyes.

The two looked at each other instinctively, neither of them saying a word.

The senior's body was very flexible. She usually wore loose clothing, and only when she was close to him like this did Luo Ye realize that her figure was perfect.

He could clearly feel two rabbits being squeezed against his chest, unable to move.

Holding his senior's body, Luo Ye had only one thought in his mind.

happiness……

"Have you hugged enough?"

Although Su Baizhou did not resist, she was afraid she would faint if this continued.

For some reason, her face felt hot, and she was almost losing consciousness.
