Eye of Sin

Huo Yan's narration was very plain, and there was no emotion in it. But after hearing this, Ning Shuyi had already expected it. He looked at Huo Yan without saying a word and listened to him carefully, but his heart seemed to be touched by a hand. It felt like I was clenched tightly, trembling a little, and out of breath.

"We have eaten at that wonton shop before. I have always wanted to eat Family Portrait, but because Family Portrait is the most expensive wonton in the store, I know that I am their adopted child, and I must be sensible, so I never Don't dare to order expensive ones.

That day, my adoptive father took the initiative to order a bowl of family portrait for me. I was almost eight years old at the time. I was stupid and didn't realize anything. I just felt very happy and enjoyed eating very happily. "

Huo Yan's eyes were fixed on the lights in front of him, but he seemed to be looking through the tall buildings in front of him into the endless distance, all the way through the tunnel of time and space, and seeing his young self.

"We went back after dinner that day. I slept very well that night, and I felt very happy. I felt that my father was so good to me. They had already accepted me, a foreign child." His voice had a normal tone to it. There was no power in me, "Early the next morning, my adoptive father took me out on a motorcycle.

I didn't know where he was taking me, I just wanted to be obedient, so I followed him. When the car arrived at the entrance of the orphanage, I felt a little uneasy and comforted myself, saying that maybe my father was just back to do something.

My adoptive father let me play in the yard. He went in and talked to the teacher at the orphanage for a while. After a while, he hurried out, got on his motorcycle and left.

I chased after him, but no matter how hard I chased, I couldn't catch him.

The teacher at the orphanage took me back and told me that something had happened to my adoptive parents and they were no longer able to raise me, so they had to send me back. "

Ning Shuyi frowned. She still remembered the woman she saw in the hospital. She was a little haggard, but she seemed to have no problem with her health.

If it was because the adoptive mother was seriously ill at that time that she was unable to continue raising the adopted child, then it is really surprising that she has recovered to this extent now.

"For a long time after that, I was thinking about my adoptive parents, wondering what changes they had encountered, whether the problem had been solved now, and if the problem was solved, would they still come and take me home? go.

But they never showed up.

Until later, a pair of adopters came to the orphanage and named me. The teacher at the orphanage was surprised because I was already over nine years old at that time, almost ten years old.

A boy who was about to be ten years old was definitely not the most suitable age group for adoption, or the most popular age group. The teacher at the orphanage was also surprised, so he took them to the office and wanted to talk to them carefully to avoid Later, I encountered a situation of regret.

I sneaked outside the office to hear what they had to say.

At that time, I didn’t believe that I was so lovable that people would come here to adopt me.

Then I heard the couple talking and talking under the cross-examination of the orphanage teacher, and finally accidentally said something.

They said that my former adoptive parents had always had infertility problems, and medication had no effect. However, after they adopted me back, in less than two years, my former adoptive mother miraculously became pregnant... …”

clang--.A small stone quickly flew out from Ning Shuyi's feet and hit a sound cover disguised as a stone not far in front of the pavilion.

Huo Yan stopped and turned to look at her. Ning Shuyi frowned, with a gloomy face, and waved her hand at him: "You say what you want, don't pay attention to me."

This was the first time that Huo Yan saw Ning Shuyi's face looking so angry and angry. Even the last time he bumped into Fang Zhiyang at home, he didn't look so angry.

But for some reason, Huo Yan felt that his heart suddenly felt lighter when he saw Ning Shuyi's dark expression.

"The new adopter couple thought that I should be the kind of person who could bring 'popularity' to the family, so they asked me which orphanage I was in. When they heard that I had not been adopted yet, they quickly mentioned it.

The teacher at the orphanage was very angry at that time. Although they repeatedly promised not to burn bridges like my former adoptive parents did, even if they got pregnant and gave birth to their own children, they would always be grateful for the blessings I brought to the family and take good care of me. He was raised as an adult, but he was scolded by the teacher in the orphanage and sent back. "

He continued, but his tone began to become calmer unconsciously: "I heard these words at the time, but I couldn't believe them.

At that time, I still clearly remembered where my previous home was, so I skipped half a day of class the next day and followed the path in my memory to find it. In the evening, I returned to the place where I lived before, downstairs. After standing there for a long time, I finally saw my former adoptive parents pushing a stroller. In the stroller was a little baby who looked very much like his adoptive father.

They both looked very happy, talking and laughing while pushing the stroller. The smiles on their faces were something I had never seen before in their home.

The adoptive mother is a little fatter than before. She looks rosy and refreshed.

Only then did I believe it. It turned out that the adoptive mother was not seriously ill, but was trying to protect her pregnancy. They had their own child, and their family conditions were not well-off. If they continued to raise me, they would not be able to give them a biological child. The best conditions for children. "

"Did you go up to confront them?" Ning Shuyi couldn't help but ask.

Huo Yan shook his head: "No, I was about ten years old at that time and was not that brave. I quietly ran back to the orphanage alone, as if nothing had happened. No one knew that I had visited my former adoptive parents. thing.

But from then on, I knew that my former adoptive parents would never come to take me back, and that home never belonged to me from beginning to end.

I no longer want anyone to adopt me. As long as no one adopts me, no one will 'return' me.

For me, being adopted meant counting down the days until the next time I was abandoned.

Since the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so I would rather not leave any hope at all.

So from then on, every time an interested adopter came to the orphanage, I acted very passive and resistant. In addition, as I got older and older, no one wanted to adopt an older boy with a bad temper. , I was completely ignored. "
