Chapter 135 – 1992-2020

The elevator was running quietly and smoothly, and then suddenly it shook slightly.

This was something that happened every time. Lian Qiao was already used to it. But RenDong couldn’t seem to get used to it, because every time the elevator vibrated, he would gasp in shock.

It was the same this time.

Lian Qiao looked at RenDong, meeting his dazed eyes. Lian Qiao was about to comfort him, but RenDong spoke first.

“Lian Qiao.” His breath was a little unsteady and his eyes were extremely complicated and unpredictable. As if he had to say something extremely seriously next.

Lian Qiao’s heart trembled and he said seriously: “I’m here.”

Xu RenDong stared at him, and asked very deeply: “If we have a child, what will you do?”

Lian Qiao: “…???”

What, what? A child? Can we still have kids?!

Could it be that you…

No, no, he has already experienced it and RenDong definitely did not have a magical double-X physique {errr female? Or maybe intersex? Could be referring Klinefelter syndrome, ie XXY}.

Could it be… that RenDong had an illegitimate child?! And wanted him to accept it and take over as a father?!

No, no, no, it’s not right, this can’t be called “our child”… this is called a “bastard”! {Hopefully this is not triggering for people! Chinese people are a bit backwards lol and I think this is from the perspective of LQ thinking that XRD has been with someone other than him. Obviously illegitimate kids are not bastards!!}

Lian Qiao was dumbfounded and creatively imagined countless possibilities. When he came back to his senses, RenDong had disappeared. In its place was a wrinkled baby crying in a pile of laundry.

Lian Qiao: “…Huh?!!!”

Where the hell did this come from? What happened to RenDong?!

Lian Qiao’s brain shut down in an instant and he stood there for a while before finally realizing that this wrinkled baby seemed to be RenDong…

He picked up the little purple sweet potato essence from the pile of clothes and felt that the world was so wonderful.

He had imagined 10,000 stories about urban ethics but he never expected that it would be a science fiction or fantasy story that would turn into a reality.

Once again, as he walked out of the elevator with the baby in his arms, his hands were suddenly empty. He was dazed in the open snow.

After a moment, he walked towards the yellow halo in a trance. He thought to himself, forget it, my brain is no longer enough, let’s act according to instinct.

This time, Lian Qiao also didn’t waste much time on the road. He quickly picked up RenDong at the gate of the orphanage and hurriedly handed him over to the principal. The principal said that the unlucky child was frozen, so they needed to hurry up and warm him up. So she boiled water for cooking, prepared a change of clothes for both the older and younger person, and then closed the door to let the two of them have a good rest.

Sitting in the warm bedroom of the orphanage, Lian Qiao hadn’t calmed down from his trance. He looked at the little RenDong in the cradle and the little RenDong looked at him with burning eyes. After a long time, Lian Qiao couldn’t help asking:

“What on earth did you mean?”

Little RenDong: “… ah?”

Lian Qiao was sullen: “Do you… want a child?”

Little RenDong: “???”

Lian Qiao: “But you and I will never have children.”

Little RenDong: “Woo… ah…” What the hell are you thinking??

Lian Qiao looked melancholy and gently pushed the little cradle, with sadness written all over his face: “Didn’t you think about this when you decided to be with me? We won’t have offspring if we are gay!”

Little RenDong: ” …” It’s over, Lian Qiao seems to have misunderstood something…

RenDong was shaken dizzily by him and opened his mouth wide to try to explain to him, but no matter how hard he tried, what he uttered was always a single syllable with unclear meaning.

Lian Qiao stared at RenDong for a while and asked suspiciously: “You are working so hard, are you trying to tell me something?”

Little RenDong: “Ah… ah…!” some!

Lian Qiao thought about it for a while and suddenly his expression changed drastically, and he dared not say anything: “Could it be that you already have one outside?!”

Little RenDong: “???” What the hell are you thinking?!

Lian Qiao was so angry with his own brain that he paced back and forth in the room with his hips akimbo, unable to calm down for a long time.

The little RenDong in the cradle was already speechless. He stared at Lian Qiao with hatred, hoping that Lian Qiao could understand the anger in his eyes.

Lian Qiao: “What’s the use of apologizing to me now. Forget it, it’s done. You can bring it back… is it male or female?”

RenDong: “…” I’m afraid you have problems not only with your brain, but I also question your eyesight.

In the end, Little RenDong gave up the idea of ​​communicating with him and chose the simplest and rudest way.

“Waaaaaa—” He opened his toothless mouth and cried out at the highest volume.

“Hey, why are you crying?” After all, Lian Qiao still felt sorry for him and hurriedly took the little RenDong out of the cradle, shaking him gently like a child, while complaining, “I didn’t cry when the top of my head was so green, why don’t you cry?” I’m supposed to cry first!

Little RenDong: “…Wow! Whoa whoah!”

After tossing for a long time, Lian Qiao didn’t understand what Little RenDong was doing. RenDong completely despaired of him. Fuck tacit understanding! It’s all shit when it came to people with holes in their brain!

How much did Lian Qiao want to be green-ed?! He had almost even picked out the name of illegitimate child already!

The lights in the room were yellow. When the two were messing around, the door suddenly opened slightly.

Lian Qiao closed his mouth vigilantly and took a step back holding RenDong. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the door, only to see a kind and gentle face peeking through the crack of the door.

“I heard the cry of the child, so I guessed that you were still awake. Sure enough.”

It turned out to be the principal.

To RenDong, the principal is almost like a mother. As soon as Little RenDong heard the headmaster’s voice, he immediately stopped crying. A pair of small red and swollen eyes looked at the principal without blinking and there seemed to be nostalgia in his eyes.

Lian Qiao did not relax his vigilance. After all, this is inside the instance, not the real world outside. On the outside, the principal is his half-mother, but in the instance, who knows what the hell she is.

So he replied in a manner that was neither rude nor humble: “I haven’t slept yet. What do you need?” 

The principal came over and stretched out her hand to him very naturally: “The child keeps crying, maybe it’s time to change the diaper. Let me see.”

Lian Qiao: “…” When is it your turn to change my partner’s diaper!

He frowned and rejected the principal’s kindness, and said that he had already checked right now and he hadn’t peed. The headmaster said again: “That he may be sick.” Then she raised his hand to touch the forehead of little RenDong.

Instinctively, Lian Qiao didn’t want her to touch RenDong, so he took a step ahead and reached out to cover RenDong’s forehead. He was terrified when he touched it.

—RenDong’s forehead was actually scorching hot!

Just now he thought that RenDong was crying because he lost his temper, but he didn’t notice that RenDong had a fever!

At this time, Lian Qiao lowered his precautions and hurriedly asked the principal for help: “He has a fever! What should I do?!”

Fortunately, the principal didn’t mind his previous rudeness, but frowned and said: “This is terrible. He caught a cold when he was born and he might develop pneumonia!”

Lian Qiao blurted out, “Is there a hospital nearby?” 

The principal shook her head. Lian Qiao suddenly remembered that this was in the instance, there would only be ghosts outside, how could there be a hospital?

He felt suddenly suffocated: worry and regret welling up in his heart at the same time.

It’s all his fault! If only he had found out sooner… No, if he had arrived earlier, RenDong wouldn’t have been lying alone in the snow for so long!

Seeing him blaming himself, the principal comforted him, “Don’t worry. I have medicine here, give him some medicine first.”

Lian Qiao bit his lips: “Can such a small infant take medicine?” 

The principal sighed: “We can only try it.”

The principal fetched the medical kit from the room and fed the little RenDong the medicine. Little RenDong was unexpectedly very cooperative and swallowed the pills as soon as they were crushed into his mouth. He even opened his mouth full of anticipation, with a look of “I want more”.

Lian Qiao: “…” He cried for a long time, turns out he was begging for medicine!

What a quirk!

Lian Qiao stayed by RenDong’s side in fear, fearing that RenDong would get pneumonia or feel uncomfortable after taking the medicine. Fortunately, the medicine was very effective, and little RenDong’s body temperature gradually dropped, and his breathing became very even.

Little RenDong closed his eyes and slept very peacefully. Lian Qiao finally calmed down and was about to rest when the principal knocked on the door again.

“Some people came from outside one after another. They lost their way in the snow like you. I wonder if you know any of them.”

Lian Qiao was taken aback and immediately realized that these were probably his teammates this time.

He subconsciously glanced at RenDong. RenDong slept soundly.

He was reluctant to disturb RenDong’s rest but he was even more unwilling to leave him. He picked up the little RenDong from the cradle and said to the principal: “Then I’ll go down and have a look.” 

The three of them came to the living room on the first floor. There were already more than a dozen men and women sitting or standing in front of the stove. Everyone was vigilant and they all carried some equipment on their bodies.

There were also people who were injured, with blood all over their faces and bodies. It was unknown what happened to them.

Seeing Lian Qiao coming down from the second floor with Little RenDong in his arms, everyone stared at him with different expressions. The principal introduced RenDong to everyone and asked everyone: “Do you know each other?”

No one spoke.

The principal frowned slightly and glanced upstairs. Lian Qiao followed her gaze, and saw other children in the orphanage running out of the room one after another, peeping over the fence. The children’s eyes were curious and clear. In contrast, the adults in the living room who were guarding each other looked particularly gloomy.

There was a little worry in the principal’s eyes: “What the hell are you guys…”

Lian Qiao hurriedly said: “Actually, we know each other.”

Everyone was stunned and the principal was also stunned: “Then…”

Lian Qiao: “We…we are in the same expedition team, and we got separated halfway because of disagreements. Fortunately, everyone found this place.” After finishing speaking, he looked around and winked at everyone quietly, “Isn’t that so?”

Someone quickly responded and continued: “Yes, yes. Fortunately, we found this place. Otherwise we won’t be able to meet up!”

The remaining few people looked at each other with suspicion flashing in their eyes. But since everyone started to cooperate with Lian Qiao in acting, these people also nodded along with everyone.

Only then did the principal heave a sigh of relief: “So that’s the case, I thought you guys were some kind of strange gang.” She dispelled her suspicions and a gentle expression appeared on her face again, “In this orphanage, except for me, the rest of the people are all children.  I am really afraid of meeting bad people.” 

The principal apologized to everyone, because she almost wanted to call the police just now. Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, everyone can stay here for the time being and wait for the wind and snow to pass.

“Fortunately, there are many rooms here.” The principal smiled softly and even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were full of kindness. She allocated rooms for everyone and then went to work in the kitchen, saying that she wanted to get everyone something to eat.

So everyone unloaded their equipment, changed into clean clothes, and regrouped in the living room.

Taking advantage of the principal’s busy time in the kitchen, everyone finally opened their mouths to speak honestly.

“What’s the matter with this baby?” A muscular man with a scar on his face stared at Little RenDong with an unfriendly expression.

Lian Qiao said frankly: “It’s my partner.”

Everyone looked at Lian Qiao in shock and then at the child in his arms who was obviously not even a month old. “What are you doing, you pervert?” was written all over their faces.

Lian Qiao: “You may not believe it but he is already 28 years old.”

Everyone: “We really don’t believe it. You beast.”

Lian Qiao: “…” I’m wronged.
