Chapter Three:

"What?" You want to adopt him. "Mom, you're not joking with me, right?"

As Aunt Cheng expected, Cheng Hanlong could not accept this suggestion no matter what. He stared at Aunt Cheng and said angrily, "I'm not happy enough that you let him stay here for so long!" Let a beggar become a member of our family, no matter what, I will not agree. "Mom, there are so many that look like your brother. Do you want to bring them home one by one?"

Aunt Cheng looked at Cheng Hanlong, who was beyond angry, and waited a long time before she slowly said, "Hanlong, Mom has actually been wanting to find you a partner for a long time. Even if I don't adopt him, I might be able to learn a brother or sister for you from somewhere. Adopting a child is an idea I've had for a long time. "

Cheng Hanlong asked in confusion, "Why? You didn't even find a partner for me when I was young, and now that you think about it, what do you think happened when I was young? "Besides, I'm already this old, so what if I have a partner or not?"

Aunt Cheng calmly said to him, "Hanlong, it's not good to have you as an only child. Having someone to share with can teach you how to get along with others. You've been with your father less since you were a child, not to mention his education of you. "You look like you've grown up to be no different from other people. In fact, in some ways, only your father is able to play this role. It would be a little lacking if you didn't accept it as much."

Seeing that Cheng Hanlong's face did not change at all, Aunt Cheng sighed and continued:

"And then …" I can't spend a lifetime with you. After all, a brother has help. Your father's relatives at your grandmother's side all saw your father as a bandit, and they all died a long time ago. I am afraid that you will be left without someone to rely on in the future. If you are by yourself, kinship can never be a substitute for anything else.

"Mom, it's good for me to be alone. One extra person is a burden. "Besides, don't you still have you?" When Cheng Hanlong finished speaking, Aunt Cheng did not reply. Cheng Hanlong noticed that Aunt Cheng's eyes were a bit red, and a bad premonition overcame him. He always felt that there was something he was hiding from his mom, but he was not sure what it was.

Aunt Cheng wiped the corner of her eyes when Cheng Hanlong wasn't paying attention and asked, "What do you want to agree to?"

Cheng Hanlong didn't know how to reply to that question. He thought for a long time, but still couldn't say anything.

Aunt Cheng stood up and said to Cheng Hanlong, "I've said what I wanted to say. Think about it carefully!" Then he headed for the bedroom.

Cheng Hanlong sat alone on the sofa for a while and seriously considered this question. He did not have much of an opinion on the matter of adopting a child, but at the very least, he should be a decent child! No matter what, it was better than begging! After thinking for a long time, Cheng Hanlong still couldn't think of how those begging people would pick up food beside the trash can. They didn't take a bath for a year, and some even pretended to be disabled to trick people. There are too many of them on the streets... No, I still can't accept it. I have to talk to my mother. Thinking about that, Cheng Hanlong walked towards the bedroom.

Just as he was about to enter the room, he felt something was wrong with the atmosphere, as if someone was crying. He looked through the crack in the door and saw Aunt Cheng's head lying on the blanket beside the child. Standing at the door, Cheng Hanlong felt as if his heart had been knocked over and the taste was very unpleasant.

He knew that Aunt Cheng couldn't possibly have done it just for this child. There had to be some other reason, but he simply couldn't share the burden with her. He didn't even know her at all. He was afraid that his rejection today would be a trigger for him! No matter what, it was still caused by him. Although he couldn't completely remove her mental state, he could still do more!

Once he made a decision, Cheng Hanlong would go find Aunt Cheng. He was afraid that he would regret it later.

"Mom …" Cheng Hanlong knocked on the door. Aunt Cheng turned her back on him and did not turn around, "Is something the matter?"

"That... If you really like this child, then keep it! I don't have to worry about that. "It's no big deal." Cheng Hanlong stood at the door and said with a smile.

"Really? Didn't you just say that you wouldn't accept him? Will he be happy to stay with us in the future? "

"What's wrong with me? Don't you like it? Let him stay in my house and have a look! If you really can't stand it, we can talk about it in the future. "Can you?"

Aunt Cheng turned around as soon as she heard this. Although her eyes were still a little red, the expression on her face had clearly softened a lot. Aunt Cheng tucked her child in and walked over to Cheng Hanlong.

"Good son!" Aunt Cheng patted Cheng Hanlong's head. Originally, she wanted to have a good talk with him again, but if it really didn't work out, then she would take it head on. Aunt Cheng didn't expect Cheng Hanlong to have figured it out himself, which made her feel gratified.

Aunt Cheng washed Cheng Cheng in the evening and carried him out. She placed him on the sofa and held his small hand as she said,

"Mom will apply tomorrow. From today onwards, you will be called Cheng Cheng, nickname: Cheng Cheng. Come, this is your brother, Cheng Hanlong!" "Call me brother!" Aunt Cheng held Cheng Cheng in her lap, pointed at Cheng Hanlong and said to Cheng Cheng. Cheng Cheng looked at Cheng Hanlong. Cheng Hanlong shot him a vicious gaze. Cheng Cheng quickly lowered his head and shouted towards the floor, "Brother!" "Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"Tch!" Who cares! " Cheng Hanlong snorted and walked towards his bedroom.

"From now on, you will sleep with big brother on the big bed in that room." Aunt Cheng pointed to Cheng Hanlong's bedroom. When Cheng Hanlong heard this, he immediately stopped and turned around to protest loudly, "Let him sleep with me? I don't think that bed is wide enough for me to sleep in alone! Isn't there an empty house there? Go to sleep there! Don't spoil my bed. "

"That room doesn't even have a bed, where are you letting him sleep?"

"Sleep wherever you like!" Didn't he sleep soundly beside the trash bin in the past!? The floor is too cheap for him. "

"Got it!" Good son! He doesn't want your mother to have you, so from now on, you can sleep with her every day. " Aunt Cheng comforted Cheng Cheng, who kept his head down.

Cheng Hanlong became jealous when he heard this. He had never slept beside his mother a few times since he was young, so this little beggar actually took advantage of him. I don't care. If I see you, I'll lift you up and throw you down from the fifth floor. for you to say goodbye to your tragic fate. "

At night, after Cheng Hanlong had taken a shower and was about to go to bed, Cheng Cheng had already fallen asleep on the bed. Seeing that he was sleeping so naturally, Cheng Hanlong got angry, he took off his clothes and squeezed towards Cheng Cheng.

"Go, go over there. Such a small thing takes up so much space." Cheng Cheng immediately woke up. He quickly moved to the side and moved to the edge of the bed. Only then did Cheng Hanlong lie down with relief.

"Let me tell you, you are a beggar. It's the same no matter where you sleep!" Cheng Hanlong cursed again before he calmed down a little. He turned around and prepared to sleep with his back to Cheng Cheng.

Cheng Cheng's chest heaved as his breathing quickened. Obviously, he had just awakened from his shock. Cheng Hanlong didn't care, he turned off the lights and slept by himself.

Cheng Hanlong closed his eyes and could clearly hear the breathing beside him. He recalled what happened during the day and felt like he was in a dream. A beggar was sleeping in the same bed with him and he had become his brother. He even agreed to it himself. He really hoped that this was just a dream. When he woke up in the morning, he wouldn't be able to see the little beggar anymore.

At night, Cheng Hanlong seemed to hear something. He turned over and went back to sleep. When he got up the next morning, he opened his eyes and looked quickly to the side. He was alone in the bed, and he was happy for a second. Was it really a dream? When he stood up and put on his clothes, he suddenly found that there was still someone on the ground. He did not know when this beggar fell to the ground. He was sleeping on the floor, wrapped in a blanket, with only his head exposed. All of Cheng Hanlong's fantasies were shattered at this moment. He still had to face it.

"Serves you right!" Cheng Hanlong lowered his head and scolded Cheng Cheng who was lying on the ground. Then, he directly put on his clothes, brushed his teeth and prepared to go to school.
