Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

"Come on, look over here!"

"Wow, this outfit is amazing, it would be perfect if you changed the shoes."

"Sister, quickly change her into this!"

By the time Lu Chengzhou had prepared bathwater for her, the little girl had already changed into four or five outfits and taken several sets of photos.

Tonight was truly delightful.

"Come on, Katie, your sisters will take you to take a bath, okay?"

Katie nodded and picked up her rabbit doll again.

Can we go together?

Meng Wanyu nodded.

After entering the bathroom, Meng Wanyu was in charge of washing the rabbit doll, while her older sister was in charge of washing the children.

Katie sat obediently on the small stool, not making a fuss at all.

"Sisters, you're all so kind to me. Can I stay here with you forever?"

Katie suddenly said this:

“My parents probably won’t come back to pick me up. I think I should find myself a new home.”

Upon hearing this, the Meng sisters exchanged a glance.

They exchanged surprised glances.

How could such a young child say such a thing?

019. Why do I smell such a strong vinegar odor?

The child's words naturally caught the attention of the Meng sisters.

However, considering that we shouldn't take what the child says too seriously, we decided to observe for a while before making a decision.

So……

After giving the child a bath and drying her hair, we moved on to the next part of the evening: deciding who would stay with her to sleep and tell her a bedtime story.

Lu Chengzhou raised his hand first, disclaiming any involvement.

"Men and women should not touch each other; I must avoid suspicion."

Meng Wanyu snorted and deliberately said, "You're a smart scumbag, so you know what's good for you."

Sister Meng's tone was as gentle as ever: "Well then, since Boss Lu isn't going to bring the child, the two of us will accompany him."

At this moment, Katie sat on the sofa, swinging her short legs, hugging a pillow, and watching them.

She's the kind of person who basically has no opinions of her own.

No matter what Lu Chengzhou and the others said, she would sweetly reply with "Okay."

Then there's no problem.

What an easy little darling.

Lu Chengzhou chose a room opposite theirs. Before entering, he said, "If you need anything, you can just knock on the door."

Meng Wanyu nodded and deliberately said, "Then don't lock the door. If you're sleeping too soundly and I can't wake you up by knocking, I can go and wake you up myself."

The key point of this sentence is very clear.

That means don't lock the door!

Lu Chengzhou was fully aware of her little scheme.

As long as he doesn't lock the door, she will definitely sneak up on him at night, whether she has something to do or not.

Moreover, judging from their recent interactions, there is a high probability that Meng Wanyu will flirt with him and then run away.

He would most likely be completely aroused by her, and then lie there stiffly and alone until dawn.

That must be so painful!

"Miss Meng, don't worry, I don't sleep very well, you can wake me up anytime."

He took a small step back and closed the door.

"I'm locking the door. Goodnight."

Hearing the sound of the door lock clicking shut, Meng Wanyu scoffed and turned around to look at her sister, clearly annoyed.

"Sister, look, this guy doesn't trust us at all! He acts like I'd go and ambush him."

Sister Meng covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Yes, how can we trust someone as quirky and unpredictable as you too much?

People who trust you too much are very likely to be tricked into selling themselves.

Seeing her sister's sly smile, Meng Wanyu became even angrier.

"Sister! You're helping that scumbag Lu Chengzhou bully other people too."

"No, you're overthinking it... *chuckle*"

"Still laughing at me! Fine, you brat, tonight I'm going to teach you a lesson and show you what I'm capable of!"

As she spoke, Meng Wanyu pounced over and began tickling her sister's ticklish spot.

Sister Meng is really afraid of this, so she quickly begged for mercy.

While the two were playfully bickering, Katie stood to the side, looking somewhat helpless.

She took a few steps forward.

He tugged at Meng Wanyu's sleeve and said, "Sister Ayu, shall we go to sleep? I'm getting sleepy."

As he spoke, he yawned.

His eyelids were drooping, and he looked like he could fall asleep standing up.

"I haven't slept for several days, and I'm really sleepy now."

Haven't slept for days?!

This statement surprised the Meng sisters once again.

You should know that children in this age group sleep a lot and it's impossible for them to stay up for several days in a row, unless...

Unless someone forces her to stay awake.

Meng Wanyu reached out and gently tidied her hair.

Then he crouched down to her height and asked carefully, "Katie, why do you say you haven't slept for several days? Is someone preventing you from sleeping?"

Katie thought for a moment and shook her head: "It's because I can't sleep."

Sister Meng then asked, "Why do you feel sleepy again today?"

The child frowned, pondering the problem, but couldn't come up with any useful answers.

After all, he's just a kindergarten kid and doesn't really understand much.

It wasn't until the three of them were lying together on that large bed that Katie muttered, "We didn't have mushroom soup tonight."

Mushroom soup...

Meng Wanyu keenly sensed the strangeness in this situation.

"Sister, do you think there might be something wrong with this mushroom soup?"

"That's hard to say."

Katie mumbled again, half asleep, "Mommy and Daddy don't want me anymore. It must be because I spilled the mushroom soup that day. If I hadn't spilled that soup, I would still have Mommy and Daddy now..."

As she spoke, she drifted off to sleep.

Looking at the thin, small creature, Meng Wanyu felt a surge of pity.

She thought about the things she had experienced when she was a child.

Sister Meng gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Meng Wanyu sighed: "I'll try to find out who owns that house tomorrow and see if I can find any clues."

Sister Meng hummed in agreement and said, "Be careful. This isn't our world after all. Our Meng family's privileges don't apply here."

"Even without special privileges, you still have money. You can get a lot done with money."

Meng Wanyu smiled.

Seemingly excited by this matter, she lost her sleepiness.

After arriving in this world, she spent all her time playing petty domestic power struggles. When she finally encountered something interesting, she naturally wanted to seize it.

……

In the middle of the night, Katie woke up screaming from a nightmare.

Her cries also woke up the Meng sisters.

Meng Wanyu, who was not sleeping very soundly to begin with, subconsciously reached out and hugged the child, bringing her into her arms.

"Sister, that's scary, sister..."

Katie sobbed, repeating "scary" over and over again.

Sister Meng said helplessly, "It seems I'll have to contact the psychologist again tomorrow."

This child may have suffered inhuman abuse at home.

Although she had no obvious scars, her words and actions were different from those of normal children.

This is definitely not a child who grew up in a loving family.

If we don't help her in time...

Perhaps, this is the end of her life.

"Katie, don't worry, I'm here to help you."
