When Wen Yisong first came to the Chen family at the age of three, he slept under the sofa on his first night. The next day, the cleaning lady found him.
The second night, he slept in the kitchen. The cook found him the following day.
On the third night, he curled up in the bathtub, where the woman cleaning the bathroom found him.
Later, everyone jokingly called him Puppy, because only a puppy would look for a place to sleep wherever it happened to be.
Wen Yisong was determined to find another place to sleep. As he lay in the courtyard, a pair of pristine sneakers appeared in front of him.
Then two hands reached under his arms and lifted him up.
The clean-cut, handsome top student had just come home from school. He picked Wen Yisong up as if he were a cat and held him up in front of his face.
"What are you doing, little brat?" Chen Yue said expressionlessly. "Still looking for somewhere to hide?"
Looking at the person in front of him, Wen Yisong heard him say, "You're my little brother, so you can sleep in my room. Taking care of a child is my responsibility. No one else can do it, but I'm not a bad person like that."
As he spoke, he lifted Wen Yisong a little closer.
"So you should trust me."
Chen Yue smiled after saying that, but his smile lasted only a few seconds before fading.
Because he realized the child had just peed on him.
