NOVEL NEXT Chapter 656 Mirage 16
It's a pity that before he could say a word to the man, his eyes darkened and he passed out.
He was awakened by the aroma of barbecue and could hear the sizzling sound.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw four or five people sitting together two meters away. There was a long barbecue rack in the middle with many skewers on it.
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, it was so delicious.
He had only smelled this kind of fragrance in the dean's room. Every time the dean ate the leftover barbecue, his aunt would share it with the children in the orphanage. However, his meat would always be snatched away and left behind. His was just a bunch of green peppers and cabbage.
"Hey, you're awake?"
A voice full of laughter came, interrupting his thoughts.
He looked up and immediately saw the girl sitting among the people.
She had a smile on her face and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. That person's facial features were not the kind that could surprise everyone at a glance, but she could attract people's attention for a long time. She had a very unique temperament.
He heard the girl say again: "Kid, are you hungry? Do you want to eat barbecue?"
He opened his eyes slightly, probably because he was unsure of what he heard, and he froze in place without moving.
Will he also have meat to eat?
Thinking like this, a skewer of meat that was not too hot was directly handed to his mouth.
"Don't be so formal. Try it?"
He slowly lowered his eyes, glanced at the skewers of roasted meat covered in cumin and chili powder, and then opened his mouth to bite it without hesitation.
There is no reason not to eat the meat that reaches your mouth!
The girl in front of me was amused.
"You are so cute!" She asked with a smile, "Did you come in alone?"
He nodded and just focused on eating, his cheeks full and there was a mouth full of oil.
The girl's eyes lit up, "Is the meat delicious?"
He nodded anyway.
The girl immediately turned to her companion and said, "Did you see it? My baked food is not so delicious. Aren't all the children eating it with gusto?"
Someone couldn't help but laugh, "He must be starving."
They did not pester the strange child with questions, but treated him like a guest, putting all the delicious food and drink at his mouth. This is the first time he has enjoyed this kind of treatment.
So after eating and drinking, he sincerely asked: "Am I going to heaven? I always thought I could only go to hell."
They were all amused.
"It turns out that not all children are so annoying, he is really cute!"
The girl smiled and said with crooked eyes: "Kid, you are only ten years old. It is indeed difficult to explain to you what you are encountering now."
He retorted sternly: "It's not ten years old, I'm fourteen years old this year!"
The girl reached out and pinched his thin arm, "Then you have to eat more in the future, otherwise you won't survive long."
Hearing this, he couldn't help but lower his head and pursed his lips, "It just so happens that they all want me to die, and no one wants me to live."
"Did you have a quarrel with your family?"
"I'm an orphan with no family."
The girl was slightly stunned, and the voices of the people around her also became quieter.
"Then you can make friends with us. That way you won't be alone."
He suddenly raised his head and met the man's eyes, his beautiful round eyes full of shock.
"No one has ever wanted to be my friend."
Someone came up and said with a smile: "We are all willing! We will become friends after exchanging names. My name is Lin Yuan, what is your name?"
He shook his head slowly, "I don't have a name."
The girl said: "I'll give you a name, Shen. It's called Shen Wei. It's the only meaning."
"Shen...Wei?"
"Well, my name is Shen Wanwan. Your name can be regarded as a gift from me when I invite you to be a friend!"
From that moment on, he had a name and was no longer alone. (End of chapter)
