Chapter 389: Chapter 389: He’s a Severely Neglected Child
Bai Haoxue squatted in front of the boy, her tone gentle, "Did you lead them up here? You’re amazing, thank you for saving us."
The little boy didn’t speak, but Bai Haoxue didn’t mind and continued speaking softly, "When the rain stops, shall we go down together? We still need your help!
You don’t know, they’re terrible with directions, especially this Uncle Lin. Without your help, we couldn’t get down the mountain."
Lin Zhan: "..."
How did he suddenly get blamed for being directionally challenged again?
However, what Miss Haoxue said wasn’t too exaggerated. The way up here was really hidden. Without this little boy, they truly couldn’t have found this place.
Among the people who followed them up, there were some local residents who volunteered to help, but they said they never knew such a place existed in the mountains.
"So, stay with us and let’s go together, okay?"
Looking into Bai Haoxue’s sincere eyes, the little boy remained silent for a long time, then nodded.
During dinner, it was a bit awkward as Bai Haoxue only made fish soup, and there wasn’t much of it, but now there were about ten people here.
Also, the utensils here weren’t enough for ten people, which was quite awkward.
Fortunately, Lin Zhan came to the rescue, "Miss Haoxue, we’ve all eaten before coming up, you just focus on yours, don’t worry about us, but this child hasn’t eaten."
They genuinely had eaten and also brought food with them, offering it to the little boy, but he simply wouldn’t eat their food.
After Lin Zhan spoke, the group sensibly went outside the cabin.
Since they had eaten, Bai Haoxue didn’t bother with them. She first served a bowl of fish soup to the little boy, "Be careful, it’s a bit hot."
Yet, the boy kept staring at Ji Hanyu, leaving Ji Hanyu rather puzzled.
"Why are you staring at me? Jealous that I’m more handsome than you?"
The little boy: "..."
Bai Haoxue: "..."
"Ji Hanyu, seriously, are you that narcissistic?" Bai Haoxue added more pieces of fish for the boy after removing the bones.
After all Bai Haoxue’s attentiveness, the little boy still focused all his attention on Ji Hanyu.
Bai Haoxue: "..."
This doesn’t make sense, Ji Hanyu is actually more popular than her, and Bai Haoxue felt a thousand points of emotional damage.
"Do you have something you want to say to uncle?"
The little boy nodded, paused for a long while, then stood up, walked in front of Ji Hanyu, and bowed deeply, "Thank you!"
Ji Hanyu: "..."
This sudden formality left Ji Hanyu feeling uncomfortable, his expression becoming a bit uneasy.
Ji Hanyu said, "Drink the soup, my wife’s soup is the best in the world, consider yourself lucky."
Bai Haoxue glared at Ji Hanyu, then continued removing fish bones and serving the boy, "You must be starving, eat some more."
This little boy looked physically thin and pale, clearly malnourished.
In stark contrast to their chubby, white and plump Beiting at home.
Their personalities were also sharply different. Little Beiting was chatty, mischievous, and optimistic, a cheerful little sun, obviously raised in a well-off environment.
And this boy, so silent and cautious, like a little adult, mature and strong in a way that was heartbreaking, clearly a child starved of love...
