Chapter 39 (1/2)

Chapter 39 To Adopt the Young LadAlthough the trip to Burma has been scheduled on Lin Luoran’s timetable, the most impending thing is to adopt the young lad and to persuade her parents into moving to the city.

Traumas and internal injuries of the young lad are healed so there is no reason for him to live in the hospital. An adoption is in impending need.

Before that, Lin Luoran has paid 20 million yuan to buy the house of Master Jia. The owners.h.i.+p is transferred under her name instantly. Now, as the house-owner, Lin Luoran sometimes feels unreal.

After replenis.h.i.+ng the house with more furniture and new bedding sets and doing a thorough clean-up, Lin Luoran can move in anytime.

To Lin Luoran’s regret, Master Jia asked her to transfer the money for the house directly to Sister w.a.n.g, and she didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to Master Jia before he left. It has been less than a month since Lin Luoran and Master Jia knew each other. So it may be a little hypocritical to say that their relations.h.i.+p is deep. Besides, Lin Luoran only has learnt the breathing method and a basic fist technique of Tai Chi. Master Jia didn’t teach her any other aggressive kung fu.

Perhaps she will not see Master Jia in a long time. Though it is ominous to say this, Lin Luoran has a faint feeling that Master Jia seems to be planning for things after his death.

Lin Luoran has a clear understanding of her status. Master Jia owns a house like that and knows breathing method, also, he and Sister w.a.n.g are old family friends. If Master Jia actually runs into some trouble, Lin Luoran will not be able to help him out in her current status.

While being helpless, Lin Luoran turns all her regret into motivation for cultivation. She steps up efforts to absorb Reiki and tries to refine it.

One day, she will be no longer like her current self who has no ability to help friends out. One day…

“Kid, do you remember your name?” Officer Li bends down and asks the little boy who is playing with his fingers. Although he knows that the boy may not answer, Officer Li hopes the boy can say his name with a fluke mind.

A terrified and panic look appears on the boy’s face after he hears Officer Li’s question.

“I don’t have a name. No name… Don’t beat me, don’t beat me… Please.”

The boy cries in fright. “Don’t beat me” is what he is always saying after being rescued, and he has never responded to any other question.

Lin Luoran holds the boy in her arms and gently pats him on the back, “Good boy, would you like to go home with me and be my brother? I swear no one will ever beat you again.”

The little boy hugs Lin Luoran back, like he finally finds something warm in this cold winter.

Baojia tries to hide the tears in her eyes with casualness, “It’s time to pick up your parents to R City. After all, the adoption process has to be done by themselves. You have already bought the house. Won’t it be nice to live with your entire family?”

Officer Li agrees, “You also have to give him a name, or else he can’t be registered.”

Lin Luoran thinks for a minute and asks the boy, “We meet in winter, and there is a “Luo” in the name of every family member of my generation. Do you like the name Lin Luodong?”

Lin Luoran didn’t expect a response. However, the boy blinks timidly and nods!

Baojia and Officer Li are glad, too.
