“Chapter 230: Previous Life (Five Changes)
A blue planet.
It’s our eternal watch.
In Lu Ye’s eyes, a planet appeared, the view rapidly getting closer.
Lu Ye’s thoughts came to a halt.
Turns out, the first life was actually on Earth.
Heavy rain!
Overpasses!
The sound of rain was urgent, thunder roared, the heavens and earth were dim.
Little Lu Ye crawled out of the car, his tiny mind still echoing his parents’ accusations from moments ago.
They were hurling the most vicious words at their closest ones.
The woman said the man was useless, a pathetic loser, that being with him was the biggest mistake of her life.
The man said the woman was lazier than a pig, that even if he raised a dog, giving it food would make it wag its tail at him.
The two argued, cursing, their expressions twisted.
Little Lu Ye sat in the backseat, clutching his toy, with little thought about the scene.
Or rather, he had grown used to it.
Finally, the woman snapped.
She went for the man’s steering wheel, and in an instant, everything spun out of control.
It hurt a bit.
Lu Ye crawled out of the car, sitting in the downpour, as big vehicles zoomed past, honking wildly.
Lu Ye finally came to his senses; he stood up, walked to the front, and saw his parents turned over, covered in blood.
But in this moment, they looked so calm, no longer their frightening selves.
Thick smoke billowed.
Around, car lights were flashing.
Someone rushed over, hugging Lu Ye and carrying him away.
Lu Ye watched the flames that began to rise from the car, and an idea popped into his mind, “How can metal catch fire?”
He saw people rushing toward where his parents were, trying to open the car doors, but couldn’t.
The flames grew bigger.
The heavy rain couldn’t put it out.
Urgent voices rang out.
In Lu Ye’s dark eyes, only that fire burned.
In the end, everyone evacuated.
He could only helplessly watch as the vehicle turned to ruins, with the people inside burning alongside it.
Lu Ye thought to himself, “Now, my parents definitely won’t be arguing anymore!”
He was placed onto an ambulance.
“What’s your name?”
A woman in a green nurse’s uniform asked Lu Ye.
“Lu Ye.”
“How old are you?”
“Four years old.”
“It’s okay, sister will take you to a safe place first.”
“Okay.”
In that moment, Lu Ye didn’t cry or throw a fit; he seemed already used to finding himself in strange environments.
He was taken to the hospital.
After various checks, the results were good.
Maybe because Lu Ye was sitting in the backseat, hugging his doll, he hadn’t sustained much injury.
“Patient Lu Ye, four years old, parents deceased due to a car accident, contacted his grandparents, but both maternal and paternal grandparents have passed, and no other relatives are willing to adopt.”
“What about his parents’ inheritance?”
“According to the investigation, both parents are in substantial debt, insolvent.”
“So that means, he has nothing left, just these ragged clothes?”
“Strictly speaking, yes!”
“Contact the rescue agency.”
Lu Ye didn’t understand what they were talking about, just felt that in the absence of his parents, he was really quiet, really relaxed.
Later, a middle-aged man appeared before Lu Ye.
“Lu Ye, right?”
The man wore a gentle smile.
Lu Ye nodded.
“I’m the director of the Welfare Institute, my name is Li Kaoshan. Would you like to come live with me at the Welfare Institute?”
Lu Ye nodded.
“Good boy!”
“Then I’ll take this child away, all procedures are handled. If there are any follow-up matters, just contact me, what a poor little guy.”
Li Kaoshan picked up Lu Ye and climbed into a beat-up van.
In the van, Li Kaoshan smiled warmly.
“Lu Ye, before we reach the Welfare Institute, I need to tell you something very important.”
Lu Ye looked at Li Kaoshan.
“This very important thing is, you must be obedient, very, very, very obedient. The director grandpa dislikes disobedient children the most. If you’re not obedient, you might be punished, understand?” Li Kaoshan smiled naturally and kindly.
Lu Ye felt a chill run down his spine.
He shrank his body, his little face tense and serious.
“I’ve always been obedient.”
“That’s great! Remember what you said; you must always be obedient!”
They arrived at the Welfare Institute.
“Let’s welcome our new member, Lu Ye, to Sunshine Welfare Institute!”
“Clap clap clap…”
Suddenly, a storm of applause erupted.
Each child, also an orphan, looked at Lu Ye with curiosity, some bigger, some smaller.
Among them, two gazes stood out.
“Is this my husband’s previous life? Doesn’t seem dangerous at all,” Yin Qingcheng muttered to herself.
Since there’s no danger, that makes it easier to operate!
“Ding, is this the host’s previous life? The system wasn’t following back then, but now it’s here. With Shen Xitang protecting him, who would dare bully the host!”
“Now, who’s willing to temporarily take care of Lu Ye, implementing the ‘little hands hold little hands’ mutual help service?” Li Kaoshan asked with a smile.
“I!”
“I!”
In a flash, two people raised their hands.
These two, of course, were Shen Xitang and Yin Qingcheng.
But in an instant, the surrounding children all looked very surprised.
Shen Xitang was the first to react.
“I… want to go to the bathroom!”
“Lazy donkey on a grind, hurry up and come back!” a caregiver scolded dissatisfiedly.
“Then I won’t go…” Shen Xitang softly whimpered, full of terror.
Li Kaoshan then looked kindly at Yin Qingcheng.
“Qingcheng is a good child, since she’s willing to help Lu Ye, from today onward, whatever Lu Ye needs to do will be done by Qingcheng!”
Yin Qingcheng???
“For now, Lu Ye will temporarily follow… follow Xitang, let Xitang lead Lu Ye for a month, teaching him basic skills.”
“Alright, disperse now. Caregiver Chen, take them to do their tasks.”
“Understood, Director!”
A group of children neatly walked into the depths of the Welfare Institute.
Yin Qingcheng???
She was confused, but the situation was still unknown. She could observe while drafting plans.
A group of children entered the deepest warehouse, and the door opened.
Inside were countless piles of garbage.
“Hurry up and sort, everyone sort your share of garbage. Also, Yin Qingcheng, you sort the bottles, two portions!”
“Remember, don’t get your clothes dirty! If anyone does, don’t blame me!”
A group of children rushed towards the stink of the garbage.
Yin Qingcheng’s face turned green.
Sort garbage?
They actually wanted her to sort garbage? Where did this garbage come from, it stinks to high heaven!
“Shen Xitang, take Lu Ye to room 401 and teach him the rules. If you don’t teach him well, you’ll be in for a treat!”
“Understood, Lu Ye, let’s go!”
Shen Xitang took Lu Ye’s little hand and left.
Yin Qingcheng didn’t move, with caregiver Chen’s figure looming over her.
Her fingers were already pinching Yin Qingcheng’s flesh.
“Why aren’t you moving!”
