The Child I Picked Up Has Two Sides

Gu Mingtang rescued a child from a den of thieves.

He meant to raise the child properly, but the little thing had already been warped by life in the thieves' den.

Not only did the child refuse to dress properly, they also liked crawling around on the floor like a puppy, blinking watery eyes as they asked him cautiously, "Sir, are you still not going to use me?"

Gu Mingtang: ...

Hey, Doctor, I've got a little patient here.

Following the doctor's advice, the dignified Mr. Gu took on the role of both father and mother, and finally managed to gently soothe the broken puppy, little by little.

Seeing that the child was finally acting normally, Mr. Gu got ready to open a bottle of wine to reward himself.

Then he spotted the child, who should have been sound asleep, standing by the kitchen counter.

The little figure spun a fruit knife in one hand and stroked the empty air in front of them with the other, smiling as they spoke in a chilling voice: "I'm the only one who can protect you. He's no different from those people."

"You think he'll love you? Dream on."

"I'll help you cut him up right now."

Gu Mingtang: .

* The kid has psychological disorders, including but not limited to dissociative identity disorder

* Age gap, bare white feet against black leather shoes

* The size difference is pretty big too ()

* Come watch a cold-hearted big shot forced to play a gentle father figure and heal a pitiful little psychopath (?)
