This huge contrast made White feel a sense of inferiority that was out of place. It was as if the siblings were a source of pollution, and just standing there could taint this place.

Thinking of this, White’s toes almost curled up. However, just as his toes moved, they pierced through the socks that were full of holes.

After White realized this, his body stiffened for a moment before he lowered his head in embarrassment. Behind him, Gegar was oblivious to his emotions. She only shrank behind him in fear, drooling and curiously looking around.

Mama Le had always been very sensitive to people’s emotions, so when she saw White’s red ears and lowered head, she could roughly guess what was going on.

However, she didn’t expose the two children. Instead, she took out two sets of clothes from the sofa as if they were chatting casually.

“I’m sorry. It was too sudden, so I couldn’t prepare a new set. I could only find the old clothes that my children used to wear. I’ll force you to wear them first and see if they fit. If they don’t, I’ll change into a new set for you later.”

White didn’t expect that the first thing they did was take a shower. Looking at the so-called old clothes, which were good clothes that they couldn’t touch on a daily basis, White felt even more embarrassed and ashamed.

The child who had lived his life by looking at people’s expressions naturally could tell that this gentle and kind lady didn’t dislike them for being dirty. She really wanted them to bathe and change into clean clothes.

However, it was this realization that made White feel even more embarrassed. He stopped her and said,

“I’m sorry, Madam. I know we’re dirty and might dirty your place. If you don’t like it, we can stay outside the courtyard.”

When Mama Le heard this, her eyes turned red. She ignored White’s resistance and touched his head.

“What are you talking about, you silly child? Why would I despise you? You’re all good children, but I like to see the children clean, fragrant, and soft as they sit at the table and eat. Therefore, I’m not targeting you and your sister. I’m just asking all of you to do the same.”

Mama Le smiled. “Don’t look at me as a gentle person. I’m a very domineering person.”

The touch on his head was very light, and the warmth of her palm was transmitted to White’s heart through his hair. The tips of his ears turned red. This was something he had never experienced since he was eleven years old.

His birth was an accident. If it weren’t for the fact that they could receive government subsidies for having an extra child, he did not doubt that his parents would have gone to an illegal clinic to abort him after finding out that his mother was pregnant.

After he was born, they saw that he was a healthy child. With the example of Gaegar, his mother managed to arouse a little maternal love and didn’t abandon him, so he barely lived to two or three years old.

Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long. His mother began to grow rich again, immersed in the illusion of alcohol, and couldn’t extricate herself. Then, whenever the couple had trouble, she would hit them.

If not for Gegar, who was ignorant and instinctively protected him, he would have died at the hands of this couple.

This was also why White was so obsessed with Gegar. She was the only person in the world who would protect him and trust him without reservation. In the end, the eleven-year-old White felt a motherly love from a stranger that he had never felt before.

Such warmth made him feel a little afraid, but also a little nostalgic. White was stunned on the spot. His hands were spread out, and his tongue seemed to be tied. He didn’t know what to do or say.

Seeing his stunned expression, Mama Le shook her head and patted him on the shoulder.

“I’m sorry, I forgot. A boy of this age probably doesn’t like being patted on the head.”

White wanted to defend himself. He didn’t mind this, but if it was any other time, he would have used his eloquent mouth to say a long string of words to

make people happy. However, in the face of Mrs. Le’s sincere kindness, he couldn’t say a word.

After Mama Le comforted him, she turned around and looked at Little Brother Le, who was smiling foolishly.

“You too. Since they are your friends, you will be responsible for bringing them up. All three of you must be clean..”
