Master of Pretenders

?Ah Cheng was standing in the room on the second floor of the Ming mansion. It was the young master who asked him to stay here.The windows of this room looked out over the courtyard gate.He saw Aunt Gui, the devil in his life, gone.When he was young, he called her mother, but it had been a long time since he called her that way. The woman herself said that she was not his mother.

Ah Cheng grabbed the curtains and watched the evil figure go away, feeling empty in his heart.In the past, his heart was full of fear, hatred, and a little confusion.Now these things are gone, but he doesn't know what he will put in in the future.Anxiety about the future made him feel tense, and the thick curtains were crumpled.

"Ah Cheng" Ming Lou entered the door with a cup of hot water. "Drink some water when you're thirsty. If it's not enough, there's still in the kettle, pour it yourself. Ah Cheng just shook his head. Minglou smiled and said, "What does shaking your head mean? Is it because you're not thirsty, or you won't pour it, or you don't want to drink? Ah Cheng lowered his head, not knowing what to say. The eldest brother took his hand and sat down, and asked him softly, "Where did you want to go when you ran away from home?" A gleam of light flashed in Ah Cheng's eyes, maybe the kind-hearted young master will send him where he wants to go. He raised his head and said seriously, "I want to go back to the orphanage.Maybe the Mother Superior will find me something to do, so I can support myself. "

"Do you know how to read?" Minglou asked.Ash shook his head. "Then can you understand it with a map?" The map was stolen when Aunt Gui asked him to clean the young master's study during the Spring Festival.Ah Cheng panicked, "I want someone to help me mark where the orphanage is on the map. I don't know the way. I'm not a thief." Thief?Minglou didn't know why. "Young Master, I took the map out of your study, I, I—" Ah Cheng didn't know what to say, and wanted to take his hand back from Minglou, but Minglou held it even tighter. .Ah Cheng felt the strength in his hands, and once again plucked up the courage to ask, "Eldest young master, can you send me to the orphanage?" The orphanage can't do much, isn't it causing trouble for others? Mingtai will be back from school in a while, you can play with him for a while. This room is for you, so live here first."

Aunt Gui left, Ming Jing's nanny, Mother Yao, was a little busy.Ming Jing arranged for her to prepare dinner, and went to rummage through the cabinets by herself, looking for some Minglou's old clothes to bring to Ah Cheng.Minglou stood behind his sister, feeling a little guilty. "Sister, I didn't think carefully. I brought Ah Cheng back and drove away Aunt Gui, which caused you a lot of trouble." Ming Jing didn't stop what he was doing, and said without raising his head, "What trouble do I have to say? We The family can't keep such a bad-hearted person. Even if you don't drive her away, I have to find a way to get rid of her. Ah Cheng is only so old, and I can still add his pair of chopsticks. Yao's mother said that her daughter Ah Xiang I'm 12 years old, so I can help." "What can a 12-year-old girl do?" Ming Jing laughed, "The children of the poor are already in charge of the family, and there are young masters like you everywhere, who don't touch the spring water with their ten fingers. "Minglou remembered what Ah Cheng had just said that he was going to work in an orphanage.He somewhat admired the child, who had suffered such cruel abuse and still had hope in life.At such a young age, he has the courage to support himself, and even has such a set of action plans.

Mingtai got out of school and made a fuss about Ah Cheng playing with him.Ah Cheng was not familiar with him, so he felt a little shy.Mingtai went to Cheng's room with his toy box in his arms, and showed him his tin car and imported toy guns.Ah Cheng didn't speak, and while watching him toss around the room, he played with the Jiulianhuan in his hand.After a while, Mingtai was taken to the study by his elder brother to do his homework.Ah Cheng silently helped him put away the scattered toys, and continued to play with the Nine Rings.

Mingtai managed to finish all the school homework and the tasks assigned by his elder brother, and immediately rushed to the study to check for his elder brother.Minglou glared at him, "I know how to play, and doing homework would be a pain in the ass, right? Ah Cheng won't leave, why are you in a hurry? There's plenty of time to play." Mingtai was frightened to death. Don't think about anything at night.Unexpectedly, the elder brother threw the book to him and said, "Go." He ran away as if he had been pardoned.Knocked on Ah Cheng's door, but no one answered, opened the door and saw Ah Cheng curled up on the sofa, already asleep.Next to it is the chain that has been untied.Mingtai shook Ah Cheng awake, and said to him, "Do you want to go to bed and sleep? The elder sister said that if you don't cover the quilt, you will get sick. I will come to play with you tomorrow." Ah Cheng nodded, planning to make the bed and sleep. Tai couldn't help asking, "Did you unravel this Nine Links yourself? I haven't been able to do it for a long time, and my eldest brother won't tell me."

"Mingtai, Mingtai, come down to drink milk and go to bed early." The eldest sister's voice sounded in the corridor.Mingtai agreed and opened the door to go out, then came back and asked, "Brother Ah Cheng, do you drink milk?" Ah Cheng shook his head and smiled at him.

A glass of milk for each person before going to bed, and Ah Cheng’s.Mingtai volunteered to give Ah Cheng a room.Minglou laughed at him for being courteous for nothing.He proudly said, Brother Ah Cheng knows how to solve Nine Links, I will learn from Brother Ah Cheng in the future, and I will soon be able to defeat Big Brother.
