Chapter 602 The Blessing of the Thousand Paper Cranes
Recalling that period of the past, her voice gradually became low.

The fists, kicks and bad words from that time seem to have returned. They laughed at her as a pig, shameless, unruly and competing with older children for meat buns, called her trash, and told her not to die...

Words stamp the heart.

Suddenly, she only felt a slight heat on her shoulders, and a man hugged her into a warm embrace. "Xiao Ling," Li Lei kissed the top of her hair and said pitifully, "You have suffered."

Her eyes were red, and she turned her head sideways to look at the blooming flowers in the garden.

Back then, it was here, on this road, that they forced her to kneel down and eat the dirt on the ground.Children were more cruel than adults. They pulled her hair, slapped her face, and what was even more extreme, a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, asked her to strip naked for everyone to see when she was only seven or eight years old.

Fortunately, she fought desperately, as fierce as a wolf cub.

Although they never really stripped her naked, beatings, eating dirt, and throwing stones were commonplace.

Whenever she escorted the meat buns to her younger sister's ward with scars, she would pause at the door to arrange her clothes and long hair, and wipe off the blood on her face indiscriminately to cover the palm marks.

Then, with a nonchalant smile, he gave the meat bun to his younger sister Xiaoyu.

Sometimes Xia Yu would be puzzled, staring at her sister's face or somewhere on her body: "Sister, did you get into a fight with someone?"

"No," Xia Ling always said, "I'm so powerful, who dares to bully me?... You mean the scratch on my wrist? It's okay, I accidentally fell down the steps."

Then Xia Yu would nod: "That's right, my sister is so good." She smiled happily, "I like meat buns the most, sister, can you bring me meat buns every day?"

Looking at her sister who had been bedridden for a long time and was rarely happy, the little Xia Ling also nodded heavily.

Until later, the two sisters were adopted by Pei Ziheng, and Xia Ling fell out with that man and was imprisoned.

Xia Yu came to see her, with viciousness and pleasure in her eyes: "Sister, do you know..."

In the small garden of the orphanage.

under the porch.

Xia Ling raised her head from Li Lei's embrace, and pointed to the building not far away: "Li Lei, have you seen that building...is that window..."

Li Lei looked towards where she pointed, it was an old small building with a closed window, it was so dark that it was impossible to see what was inside.

"That room is Xia Yu's ward." Xia Ling said, "She could lie down by the window and see the group of older children beating me. In fact, she could see it every day. This is her favorite entertainment every morning. One." Recalling what her younger sister said to her with vicious eyes flashing in the year of imprisonment, she is still heartbroken, "Xia Yu doesn't like meat buns at all, she begged me to get buns every morning because... …she……"

Her voice was a little choked up, and she couldn't continue.

However, Li Lei already understood what she didn't say, that Xiao Ling worked so hard to grab the buns for her younger sister, and that vicious younger sister was looking forward to seeing her get beaten!

How terrible.

Li Lei's expression tensed, he hated that he didn't know Xiao Ling at that time, and couldn't shelter her from the wind and rain. "Just wait," he said to Xia Ling, "Those who have harmed you, those debts, I will pay them back one by one."

Xia Ling shook her head and took his hand, "It's enough that you are by my side."

She once doubted life, wondered if she treated others with all her heart and soul, only to get scars in the end?Xia Yu is, so is Pei Ziheng...

She didn't understand what she had done wrong.

Just when she was desperate for life, fortunately, she met Li Lei.

He is her salvation.

"It's good that you're by my side," she murmured repeatedly.

"I will always be here." Li Lei's voice was gentle and reassuring.He held her hand tightly, really wanted to hold her like this, and never let go for the rest of his life.

The orphanage is sunny, and the midsummer cicadas and flowers are in the air.

The two walked slowly along the corridor and came to the dormitory where she used to live when she was a child.The bricks and tiles inside are still the same, and there is a water cup on the table with the old number "17" on it, which is her cup.It can be seen that there are people cleaning here every day, and it is spotless.

There are two more things-

A booklet recording her life, which contains a lot of stories and photos of her in the orphanage.

A very large glass jar with many colorful origami cranes in it.

Li Lei took out the pamphlet and flipped through it, saying, "It says that many fans will throw a paper crane into the jar when they come over, and their blessings and wishes are written on the paper crane."

Hearing what he said, Xia Ling took out a blue paper crane and carefully opened it to look at it.Sure enough, there was a line of words written in black pen on the inside of the paper: Xiaoling in heaven, be happy.

She dismantled a few more, some were for prayers, and some were folded by children in the same courtyard, asking her spirit in heaven to bless them to be adopted by good families.She looked at the handwriting full of longing, and smiled wryly. Even she herself did not fall into any good family—the Pei family seemed to be beautiful, but only she knew about the turbulent waves and how much suffering and humiliation.

Seeing her staring at those prayers for a long time, Li Lei made a mistake.

"When we get married in the future, let's adopt a few children." He said softly.Xiaoling seems to like children very much. Isn't it painful for her to be barren?
She was slightly startled, and then said: "Okay." Li Lei... likes children very much, right?This is not the first time adoption has been mentioned to her.Xia Ling felt a dull pain in her heart. She couldn't bear children, but she still selfishly stayed with him. After all, she owed him.

Thinking of this, I feel a little heavy, and put down those paper cranes.

Li Lei carefully folded those paper cranes back for her, and put them back into the glass jar.The two stayed in the room for a while, then left, and continued walking forward.

This orphanage is very old. After many repairs, it looks mottled with vicissitudes of life, but it does not have an old-fashioned beauty.Because of the celebrity sisters Xia Ling and Xia Yu, a sightseeing route has been opened up in the courtyard, and signs will be seen from time to time, with signs such as "Xia Ling is on duty", "Xia Ling practices singing." place"...and so on.

They walked to a small garden.

Under a clump of irises, there is a light-colored sign hidden, on which is engraved in beautiful bronzing letters - [The place where Xia Ling and Pei Ziheng first met. ]
She stopped, feeling mixed feelings for a moment.

Li Lei also stopped, suddenly felt like a thorn in his heart.He lowered his eyes slightly to prevent her from seeing the look in them, and after a long while, he asked in a low voice, "That's where it was at the beginning?"
