The girl hesitated for a moment, put down the teapot, walked to the opposite side of the woman, and sat on the chair where Dean Maya had just sat.

"Xiaoyin? Can I call you that?" the woman said gently.

"Yeah." The girl nodded slightly and did not object. In fact, everyone older than her in the welfare home called her that.

"How are you living here?" The woman reached out and touched the girl's hand. "Don't be restrained. Say whatever you want to say."

"Are you doing well?" The girl looked at the woman in confusion: "The director's mother takes good care of me, and Brother Ayi likes me very much, too. I feel very happy here."

"No... that's not what I meant..." The woman smiled and shook her head: "Xiaoyin, what I meant is, do you want to have a beautiful family?"

"You have a father and a mother who love you, and a sister who loves you." The woman said as she raised her hand and touched the girl's face, which was a very soft little ball.

"I..." The girl was stunned after hearing the woman's words. She had never seen her parents and didn't know if she had any brothers or sisters. To be precise, almost all the children in the welfare home were like this.

And now, the woman asked her if she wanted a home.

"Auntie... do you want to adopt me?" The girl pursed her lips and looked at the woman, asking with a little expectation.

"Adoption..." The woman was slightly stunned when she heard the word, and then she regained her composure: "Well, auntie wants to adopt you."

"Really? Auntie, are you really going to adopt me?" The girl's eyes sparkled with excitement. She had seen many couples come to the welfare home to adopt children, and she heard from the director that those brothers and sisters are now living happily.

The girl has never seen her parents since she was a child, and she longs for family affection and love.

"Well... actually, this is what happened." Perhaps because the girl was too innocent and cute, the woman suddenly felt a little sorry for her and she was ready to tell the truth to the girl in front of her.

"Auntie actually has a daughter. She is about your age, or should be said to be one year younger than you. She is a very cute girl." The woman said with a sad look on her face.

"pity……"

"What a pity?" The girl looked at the beautiful aunt in front of her curiously. She was wondering if the aunt's daughter was as beautiful as her?

"Unfortunately, my daughter has had a serious heart disease since she was young. I am very sad." The woman forced a smile.

"Actually, Auntie is looking for you... because my daughter's heart is a perfect match for yours."

Seeing the puzzled look on the little girl's face, the woman thought for a moment and said in a more popular way: "Auntie wants to exchange your heart with that of my daughter. Is that okay?"

"Replace...the heart?" A frightened expression appeared on the girl's face, and she reached out and covered her chest with her hands.

Replacing the heart... does that mean replacing the flesh in my body? That would be very painful...

"No... maybe the auntie didn't explain it clearly." The woman was a little amused when she saw the little girl's performance.

She pulled two figures from her bag and held them up for the girl to see.

"Look... if you replace your heart with my daughter's, it's like this," the woman said, removing the arms of the two puppets, and then attaching their respective arms to each other: "Look, it's just like this, just replaced."

"After the replacement, my daughter will no longer worry about heartache! And you will only feel chest pain very rarely, how is it?" The woman said as she stuffed both dolls into the girl's hand: "I'll give them to you."

"I..." The girl looked confused: "Why should I exchange my heart with my aunt's daughter?"

"I don't even know her name..."

The woman's expression froze when she heard this: "Yes, indeed, her name is Nanxi. You will get to know her later."

"You like the orphanage very much, right?" the woman said, looking out the window, where children were playing outside.

"I like it. The dean's mother and Brother Ayi are here..." The girl nodded slightly.

"But you know this place will be demolished in three months?" the woman sighed softly.

"By then, your mother, the director, will retire and go home, and your brother Ayi will be sent to another welfare home."

"The dean is leaving... ? Brother Ayi..." As expected, she was still a young girl. When the girl heard that she was about to be separated from her close ones, the word "anxiety" was almost written on her little face, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

"Then I...I will go with Brother Ayi..."

"But you may not be assigned to the same welfare home?" the woman said in a coaxing manner.

"Um... Woohoo..." The girl finally began to sob.

"But there is a solution..." The woman said, and sure enough, she saw the little girl raised her head, looking at her with a pair of red eyes.

"Auntie really loves my daughter... As long as you and my daughter exchange hearts, I can find a way to keep the orphanage here."

"Really...really?" The girl wiped her tears and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, Auntie will not only stop those people from demolishing the welfare home, but will also donate a large sum of money to the welfare home. By then, your brothers and sisters, your brother Ayi will be able to live a better life, and the welfare home can be built better and bigger..."

"A large sum of money? Will Auntie give a large sum of money to the welfare home?" The girl raised her head and looked at the woman pitifully: "Then... can Brother Ayi's illness be cured? Brother Ayi has a large piece of meat growing in his brain..."

"Tumor? Of course!" the woman said with a smile.

"Then I...then I..." The girl covered her chest and hesitated: "Is it really just a change? Ayin's heart is still there, right?"

"Yes, that would be a happy ending for everyone..." Perhaps the woman couldn't bear to see the girl's innocent look, so she turned her face away.

"Well... well then... Nan... Nan and I..."

"Oh, Nanxi."

"Okay then, Nanxi and I will switch..."

"Okay, then please come back with me," the woman smiled and walked forward to hug the girl: "My name is Baixi, and in the days to come... you can also call me mom."

"Mother……"

The girl's timid call hides her innocent expectations.

It's just a matter of changing one's heart... Then, there will be many more big houses here, and the older brothers and sisters can eat meat three times a month. The director's mother can change into a better-looking skirt, and the security guard may be able to change into a non-rusting teacup.

In that case...Brother Ayi wouldn't have gone far away when he was sixteen.

Chapter 087: Waiting for the Flowers to Bloom (Part )

.......................................

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was born without a heart.

The anxious father put on a white coat and installed a cloned, broken heart for the girl.

The girl grew and grew until she was six years old.

Because the heart her father gave her was broken, the girl often felt heartache, but her parents loved her. Her father always liked to draw blood for her, do checkups, and protect her body, and her mother loved her very much too, and would give her any delicious food or drink as soon as possible.

But the girl was lonely, because she was different from others since she was young. She could not run on the grass, she could not chase flying butterflies. In this way, over time, the girl had no friends.

Finally, when she was six years old, her mother brought home a girl. Her mother said that the girl was her sister, and that her sister's heart was a good match for hers, and that in the future her sister's heart would be exchanged with hers.

My father doesn't like my sister. He even said that because my sister speaks with a southern accent, he should name her Nanyin. Naturally, my younger sister objects because she likes this little sister who has the same hair color as her mother. She is so gentle and makes her feel friendship and a different kind of family affection.

Obviously, the name Nanxi has a good meaning. Dad said that Nanxi is the hope of this family, so he named her Nanxi. But why was her sister's name so careless? Nanxi was very confused and angry. She wanted to find her father to argue, but was stopped by her sister.

"It's okay, Xiaoxi. Actually, I was called Xiaoyin before. The name Nanyin suits me very well."

"So don't go and cause trouble for your dad, Nanyin... I like this name."

That moment was the third day since the elder sister came to the younger sister. At that moment, the elder sister hugged the younger sister, which made the younger sister experience the warm embrace other than that of her mother.

From then on, this family underwent a slight change because of the arrival of my sister.

My mother loves my younger sister very much and treats my older sister like her own daughter. Every time she buys something for my younger sister, she will also buy one for my older sister, which are all very nice clothes and delicious food.

But my father really disliked my sister. The most common thing he asked my sister to do was to go to the laboratory with him. When my younger sister asked about this, my sister always comforted her by saying that it was just some blood draws and tests.

The younger sister was finally relieved. It seemed that her father was also protecting her health. He was indeed a father with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Since the elder sister came, the younger sister has a companion every time she goes to school. Due to physical reasons, the younger sister cannot do strenuous exercise, so the elder sister would rather walk to school with her younger sister and be late every time. Occasionally, the elder sister will carry her younger sister on her back, and the sisterly love blooms in the hot summer.

The younger sister likes the older sister.

The elder sister is so nice. The younger sister really likes her elder sister. It’s not because the elder sister will give her her heart in the future, but simply because the younger sister likes her elder sister, that’s all.

The elder sister loves the younger sister.

The younger sister is really sensible, and the older sister really loves her younger sister. The older sister does not have any grudge against her younger sister because of the deal between her and her mother. It’s simply because the older sister loves her younger sister, that’s all.

My younger sister likes to sing. She would always gather mom and dad together when they were around and sing them her favorite songs. I will never forget the smiles on mom and dad’s faces at that time.

The elder sister likes to write novels, but she dare not show her works to mom and dad. Dad would rather she do a few more hours of housework than let her write these meaningless things. The same is true for mom. Every time she says, "There is so much work at home... If it weren't for the capable Xiaoyin, I don't know what I would do." Mom has never said, "What a good novel, Xiaoyin is great." Every time this happens, the younger sister will cheer for her elder sister.

It wasn't until my father discovered what my sister had written that it was the afternoon when my sister had a routine blood test. My sister was writing so fast in her room that she forgot to close the door. When she realized what was happening, my father in a white coat had already torn up her notebook and slapped her hard in the face.

What was the reason? That’s right, it was because my sister lost track of time while writing a novel and forgot the time my father emphasized to go to the laboratory.

My sister wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, flushed the broken notebook into the toilet, and then she put on a faint smile again. Whether in the past, present or future, my sister is very good at smiling.

As long as you smile, no one will bully you, right?

The younger sister never saw her elder sister write novels again. Whenever she asked about this, the younger sister would respond with a gentle pat on the head. Since then, the elder sister has liked doing housework more.

But the elder sister also had a pot of flowers, which was a pot of beautiful chrysanthemums. Every time the elder sister saw the pot of flowers, she seemed very happy, and the look in her eyes seemed to have changed. The younger sister was very puzzled about this, but when she asked about it, the elder sister just said that there was a big fool named Ayi who also had such a pot of chrysanthemums...

My sister said that when all the chrysanthemums bloomed, she would go back and be with the boy named Ayi.

Later, the situation at home became worse and worse, and more and more people came to collect debts. Once, when mom and dad were not at home, the debt collectors broke down the door of the room. In order to protect her younger sister, the elder sister was dragged to the living room and beaten and kicked. The house was smashed to pieces. The elder sister hugged her younger sister and cried silently. The younger sister wanted to comfort her elder sister so much, but she was already crying uncontrollably.

After Mom and Dad came home, Dad scolded Sister for not taking good care of the house. The debt collectors burned a lot of his experimental materials. Because of this, Dad locked Sister in the bedroom and tied Sister to a pillar outside.

Slaps and punches followed one after another. The younger sister's cries could be vaguely heard in the bedroom. In the corner, the mother was crying softly and helplessly. The older sister gritted her teeth and didn't cry out. Until the father was tired of beating the sister, she had fainted.

The white school uniform has turned red.

The younger sister still likes the older sister, and the older sister still loves the younger sister.

Ever since mom and dad often quarreled, the younger sister has been particularly afraid of thunder, but she feels at ease because her elder sister is there.

Every time there was thunder, her sister would hold her in her arms, pat her back gently, and hum a soothing ballad:

"Don't be afraid, beautiful girl. The red sailboat is here to take you to a distant place... You don't have to cry, happy girl. The angel's wings are your raincoat..."

Chapter 088: Waiting for the Flowers to Bloom (End)

"Don't be afraid, beautiful girl. The red sailboat is here to take you to a distant place... You don't have to cry, happy girl. The angel's wings are your raincoat..."

Mom and Dad still love to quarrel. Dad started to abuse my sister more frequently, and he often had a bad face even towards Nanxi.

My sister has dropped out of school, and my mother is sometimes beaten by my father so badly that she can't get out of bed. All the housework has been shared by my sister.

My sister had more and more injuries on her body, some were caused by my father, some were needle marks and inexplicable redness and swelling.

The elder sister would cry occasionally, and the younger sister often saw her hiding in a corner crying silently. Her tears wet her apron and mixed with the blood from the cracked wound at the corner of her mouth, staining the floor.

My sister always loved to laugh...when did she become like this?

Sometimes my parents quarrel so loudly that my sister can hear it clearly even if she hides in the bedroom.

"You can't do this! She is our daughter! If you do this, she will be really ruined!" Mom screamed hysterically.

"She's just a tool! She should feel honored to contribute to the creation of the most miraculous work of art in the world!" Dad's voice was low and hoarse.

"Nanshan...why are you doing this..."

Hearing this, the younger sister was very scared and she hugged her older sister next to her.

"Sister... I'm so scared. Those debt collectors are here again today. Will mom and dad abandon us?"

"No... no, they won't abandon you..." The elder sister hugged her younger sister tightly and comforted her softly.

Mom and Dad will never abandon my sister. She is the only hope of this family and she will not be abandoned.

Later, my sister's heart finally matured.

It was a gloomy and rainy day, and my younger sister and elder sister were given anesthetics.

When she opened her eyes again, what the younger sister saw was her older sister’s pale smiling face.

My sister covered her chest with her hands, and I couldn't tell whether she was smiling or crying.

"Sister, look, our hearts have been switched..."

After this incident, Dad often stayed out all night, Mom often cried, and Mom, who usually treated my sister well, started to treat her coldly. The younger sister didn't know the reason, she just felt sad for her sister.

Because the younger sister still likes the older sister.

That day, Dad came back with an excited expression on his face. He asked Mom to prepare a table full of delicious food. After the meal, Dad asked Mom to take my younger sister to the bedroom, and then he left my older sister alone.

At first, there was no sound in the living room, but in the end, the younger sister heard some unusual sounds...they were her sister's cries and sobs, and her father's roar.

"Dad... I beg you... don't do this..." my sister begged and cried.

"I have already given my heart to my sister as I promised my mother. What else do you want..."
