Adoption: Promises of Love - Chapter 2

Adoption Chapter 2: Bathing

A day ago Luo Rui Xi had a car accident, his car hit a person, or to be more precise the person hit his car. All the passersby could testify that the woman had intentionally run over to be hit.
“Please ……”
The hand drenched in blood tugged at an envelope and raised it to Luo Rui Xi’s face, the woman’s eyes were full of begging, her tears glistened, she left her last two words and stopped breathing, the relic was an envelope, all the answers were inside.
This is not a fraud, just a woman’s gamble, she used her life as a bet, want to exchange that child a good home.
There were two things in that envelope, the woman’s critical notice for terminal stomach cancer and a document from an orphanage to adopt a child.
The dates of the two documents were only two days apart, apparently another joke from God.
“Take the car to the basement.”
“Yes young master.”
The servant bowed respectfully and trotted off to park the car, Luo Rui Xi looked helplessly at the little thing that kept grabbing his clothes and refused to let go shook his head and carried him forward.
“Young master, welcome back, this is ……”
The old butler greeted him, revealing an expression of surprise when he saw the dirty child in Luo Rui Xi’s arms.
“The child I mentioned to you before is my child from today.”
“This ……”
“Uncle Ming, do you have any objections?”
Luo Ruixi’s eyes glazed over, Uncle Ming hurriedly lowered his head and respectfully said, “Everything is up to the young master, I just don’t know how we should address this little master in the future.”
“Call him little young master, it’s just a name, it’s not in the way.”
“Yes, young master.”
“Go find a clever maid to help Luo Yi take a bath.”
“Yes.”
Uncle Ming retreated, Luo Rui Xi held Luo Yi and made it to the sofa, that child still had a pair of eyes open and only looked at Luo Rui Xi alone.
“Aren’t you tired of looking at me so consistently? You don’t even take a look when you arrive at your new home?”
Luo Ruixi asked with a light smile, being looked at by his glassy eyes for a long time was no longer embarrassing now.
The big eyes finally blinked for a bit, then remained silent as he looked at Luo Rui Xi, as if he wanted to deeply memorize his face, just staring like that.
“If you don’t talk to me again, I’ll treat you as a mute oh.”
Accustomed to the other party’s unresponsive reaction, Luo Ruixi slowly learned to “talk to himself”, “Later there will be a big sister to take you to take a bath, you have to be a good boy, wash your body, and then put on clean clothes, and then accompany me to eat dinner.”
“What do you want to eat for dinner? Any special favorite food?”
Looking at Luo Yi’s eyes Luo Rui Xi gently inquired, having a family member who could accompany him again, that joy made him even bring a smile to his eyebrows.
Grabbing Luo Rui Xi’s front lapel Luo Yi leaned into his arms, still did not open his mouth.
Luo Ruixi wasn’t angry either, and was about to ask for an answer in a different way, when a maid who looked quite smart came over.
“Young master, Uncle Ming asked me to bring young master to take a bath.”
“Well, be careful, don’t hurt him.”
Luo Rui Xi was about to hand Luo Yi over to the maid when he realized that the little thing was gripping his clothes and refusing to let go, staring at him closely, his face full of tension and fear.
“Young master, let Wen Yu take you to take a bath, okay? Once you’re cleaned up, you can immediately return to young master’s side oh.”
Wen Yu smiled sweetly and reached out her hand to Luo Yi, a big sister that no child would refuse, and Luo Yi was clearly a special case.
“Luo Yi, be obedient, let Sister Wen Yu take you to take a bath, okay.”
The silent protesting eyes, the shell teeth biting her lips, looked emotionless, but made people feel aggrieved to the extreme.
Luo Rui Xi immediately lost to this expression and carried the person into his arms, “Go down.”
“Yes, young master.”
“Ai, haven’t seen a young master as hard to serve as you.”
Carrying Luo Yi and getting up, Luo Rui Xi grumbled and walked up to the second floor, Uncle Ming then followed, waiting for orders at any time.
“Prepare Luo Yi’s change of clothes, as well as prepare a room for him, decorate it according to the standard of my room.”
“Yes, young master.”
After instructing Luo Ruixi carried Luo Yi into his room and brought him directly into the bathroom.
“It’s always okay if I help you wash, right?”
Unsurprisingly there was no response.
“Be good and stand still, I’ll help you put on the bath water.”
Bare feet touched the cold floor, Luo Yi’s small body trembled, looking at Luo Rui Xi did not make a sound, slowly let go of the other’s clothes.
“Be good.”
Stroking Luo Yi’s small head Luo Ruixi complimented, took off his suit and threw it outside, unlocked the golden cuffs and rolled the sleeves up to the elbow position, then started to adjust the water temperature and put the water in.
“Come here, I’ll help you serve.”
After the water was put in place, Luo Rui Xi hooked his finger at Luo Yi, along with a smile with a hint of evil, it was really like a seduction. Bright big eyes looking at Luo Rui Xi, Luo Yi didn’t come over, her little face was permeated with some unhappiness.
“If you don’t come over, I’ll go over.”
Luo Ruixi was very patient, since Luo Yi promised to come back with him, he was like being injected with a shot of “mother’s love”, and was very tolerant of Luo Yi’s willfulness.
He bent down and walked towards Luo Yi, but the distance between the two of them never drew much closer, and that little thing was actually silently retreating!
“Luo Yi, don’t move back!”
The warning was ineffective, the little thing continued to back up, Luo Rui Xi raised her eyebrows, striding forward, catching the little thing with a swift momentum.
“Caught it, see how you still back up ……”
Didn’t get complacent for long, the little thing that caught his hand struggled, the force was actually bigger than before, Luo Rui Xi almost didn’t manage to stabilize him.
“Little brat, I’ve personally given you a bath what are you still dissatisfied with?”
Holding Luo Yi’s both hands and feet down on the ground, Luo Rui Xi was really a bit angry, “I haven’t served anyone like this in my twenty-four years of living!”
Again, the little leopard-like eyes, stubbornly glaring at Luo Rui Xi, the tiger teeth exposed outside flashed like a demonstration.
“Anyway, you have to wash me even if you don’t want to today, if you don’t wash clean you don’t want to leave this door!”
Said Luo Rui Xi began to take off the clothes on Luo Yi, the poor quality fabric was directly torn into pieces under his not so small strength, which helped him save time, directly a few times, Luo Yi stripped down to only a small underwear.
“Don’t ……”
“Hmm?”
Suddenly being picked up by his ears made Luo Rui Xi stop moving, if it wasn’t an illusion, those two words just now came out of the little thing’s mouth, right?
“Did you just speak?”
Luo Ruixi was almost screaming as she asked, most of her previous displeasure swept away, “Yes, right? You said ‘don’t’ just now, didn’t you?”
“Luo Yi!”
As soon as he hugged Luo Yi’s small body, Luo Rui Xi was overjoyed, as if he was a father who heard his baby speak for the first time.
And this joy didn’t last long before it cooled down in the violent trembling of the body in his arms.
“Luo Yi what’s wrong with you? Why are you shaking so badly?”
Luo Ruixi anxiously looked at Luo Yi, still with that expressionless face, those glass bead like eyes staring at him tightly, his somewhat dry and cracked lips were actually bitten out of blood.
Luo Rui Xi panicked and wiped off the blood on Luo Yi’s mouth, his heart panicked, not knowing what to do.
“Is it because I scared you? I’m sorry, I ……”
Words stuck in his throat, Luo Rui Xi’s eyes fell on Luo Yi’s body, just now he only focused on anger he actually did not realize ……
In the end which asshole could do such a cruel thing!
The blood in his body cooled down rapidly, anger and heartache crawled all over his face.
Yu marks, full of Yu marks, new and old countless, on his arms, chest, back, legs ……
“Ah-”
Luo Yi screamed in pain and ruthlessly pushed Luo Rui Xi away, grabbed the broken clothes next to him and shrunk into the corner, his skinny body trembled violently, “Don’t ……”
“Don’t look at me!”
The large eyes that had been open were tightly closed, unable to see the sadness inside, while the mournful sound knocked heavily on Luo Rui Xi’s heart.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to take a bath, he just didn’t want to be seen by others with the scars on his body.
He was defending his self-respect, neglected by the self-righteous adults belonging to him, perhaps the last of it.
It seemed necessary to make a trip to the Deren Orphanage (the orphanage that Luoyi stayed in before he was adopted), wondering what the hell they had done to the boy.
