Chapter 1199 - 803: Cheng Taotao_2

Liu Liu nodded quickly, "Very handsome! Especially good-looking, even better than Brother Hongyu!"

"Haha, I actually think your Brother Hongyu is much more handsome than this little guy!" Elder Zhou said loudly, then turned to Qin Huai, "What do you think, Little Huai?"

"Ah?"

Qin Huai pursed his lips, seeming a bit embarrassed, his cheeks flushed red. His big, lively eyes glanced at Yin Huaiyu and he said softly, "This little guy is better-looking..."

"Tsk tsk, what kind of taste do girls have these days? This little guy doesn’t even have any expression on his face, what’s so good-looking?"

Qin Huai giggled, "Grandpa Zhou, but he is really good-looking after all..."

After saying this, he didn’t forget to take another look at Yin Huaiyu.

Yin Huaiyu indeed had no expression on his face and had no interest in participating in this boring topic. His gaze was fixed elsewhere, but pretending not to react doesn’t mean he didn’t have ears to hear the constant verbal jabs from a certain impertinent old man!

"But... this little guy does look a bit... scary though..." Liu Liu was simply telling the truth. By now, Yin Huaiyu had been sitting there listening to the adults chat for over half an hour, and now some kids jumped out to critique his appearance...

Yin Huaiyu was already extremely displeased, with no expression to begin with, yet burning inside. His eyes occasionally flashed with impatience and agitation.

Plus, he didn’t say a word, making it really hard for people to feel close to him.

At this moment...

Qin Huai strolled over to Yin Huaiyu, slightly tilting his head to look up at him, "Little brother, what’s your name... why aren’t you talking...?"

Yin Huaiyu lifted his eyes to meet this girl who could be considered pretty and somewhat spirited. Taking a deep breath, he really didn’t want to speak.

Elder Zhou at the side still had a face full of watching-the-show expression, lifting his tea to see how Yin Huaiyu and the little girl would interact...

"Yin Huaiyu."

To Elder Zhou’s surprise, he actually spoke.

Qin Huai was overjoyed, hurriedly saying to Yin Huaiyu, "My name is Qin Huai, my name is a bit difficult to write, I’ll write it down for you later."

"No need. I didn’t plan to remember your name."

Yin Huaiyu, feeling a bit irritated, regretted a bit after he spoke, realizing he had transferred his anger towards Elder Zhou onto this little girl... Qin Huai’s expression changed slightly, momentarily awkward and unsure how to respond.

"I misspoke... I know how to write your name."

After saying that, Yin Huaiyu dipped his finger in some water from a nearby cup and wrote "Qin Huai" on the table, then asked the little girl, "Did I write it correctly?"

Qin Huai was delighted after seeing it, nodding quickly, "Correct, correct, little brother, you’re so smart!"

Yin Huaiyu pursed his lips, not saying anything further.

Qin Huai was truly overjoyed in his heart, likening pure-hearted children to be easily thrilled when they encounter something or someone they believe is beautiful.

Except... children like Yin Huaiyu, who are naturally calm and rational.

"Little brother, where are you from? What are you doing here? Your clothes are really nice..."

Qin Huai asked softly, his testing tone almost detectable, observing Yin Huaiyu’s expression as he asked, perhaps afraid too many questions would annoy him...

The way this little girl discerned the words and looks indeed made both the principal and Mr. Zhou’s heartache.

Qin Huai only entered the orphanage last year, originally from a fairly good family. While not extremely wealthy, they never worried about food or clothing, with both parents working, and a harmonious household. Yet a car accident took away Qin Huai’s parents and grandparents.

In an instant, Qin Huai had only one relative left, his grandmother, who was elderly and had an eye disease that made it difficult for her to take care of herself, let alone a five-year-old girl.

After the accident, Qin Huai was temporarily sent to stay with his aunt, but his aunt and uncle argued frequently about Qin Huai’s issue. This habit of observing people’s words and faces started developing then...

After living with his aunt for over half a year, they could not reach an agreement, and finally decided to send Qin Huai to the orphanage.

"Little brother... will you come to the orphanage often in the future?"

Qin Huai murmured another question, while Yin Huaiyu continued pursing his lips, meeting Qin Huai’s large eyes...
