Chapter 513 Memories 12
She didn't cry or scream and hide like other children.
Instead, he grabbed the snake that was pouncing on him and then pinched its vital points.
The wet, cold and slippery feeling spread across the palm of her hand, and Ling Ruo felt inexplicably nauseous and wanted to vomit.
Just at this time, the teacher came over, looked at the snake in Lingruo's hand with horror, and then took a sack and dealt with the snake.
The adults in the orphanage came over and tried to comfort the child who was still sobbing. Lingruo refused the teacher's comfort and walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, and the water flowed down, washing away the stickiness left by the snake.
After shaking off the remaining water on her hands, Lingruo noticed someone approaching. She looked in the direction of the person and saw it was Bai Yu.
"Aren't you scared? Why aren't you crying?"
Ling Ruo felt a little strange, "Why are you crying?"
She was neither dead nor injured, and her body was not in any pain, so why was she crying?
"Aren't you afraid of snakes?" Bai Yu asked.
Lingruo nodded, walked to the chair and sat down. In the distance, the teacher took the little snake away from the orphanage. There was a forest a few hundred meters away from the orphanage, and they probably took the snake there to release it.
Bai Yu tilted her head, as if she didn't understand why she was scared, but she didn't cry.
Like other kids.
If she was not afraid of snakes, then she would have a reason not to cry. After all, there were people in the laboratory who were like Lingruo, who were not afraid of experiments and were not as scared as other children.
That person didn't cry like the others because he wasn't afraid. What about Ling Ruo? She was obviously afraid, but why did she dare to touch something that frightened her?
"Crying won't solve the problem. If I cry, scream and get scared, will the snake let me go?"
Lingruo just felt that Bai Yu was a little strange. He actually asked her such a simple question.
At dinner time, Bai Yu sat next to Ling Ruo with a plate in his hand. Ling Ruo subconsciously thought that Bai Yu came here to beg for food. She sighed helplessly and was about to take the steamed bun in the bowl to give it to Bai Yu, but when she took it, she saw it was full of food.
"Here, eat." Bai Yu pushed his plate in front of Ling Ruo.
"Where did you get so much food?" Ling Ruo was a little curious. Usually Bai Yu's food would be taken away by those kids, so why was it different today?
"They gave it to me."
Where Lingruo couldn't see, several boys were hiding in the corner and shivering. After being beaten up by Bai Yu, they didn't dare to take the food and ran away quickly.
No, if he could beat them, why did he allow them to take his food in the first place?
"Eat it yourself." Ling Ruo shook her head and did not touch the food that Bai Yu brought.
"I don't eat this." He was telling the truth. In fact, he didn't really need to eat.
"Is it true or not..." Ling Ruo wanted to say whether it was true or not, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Bai Yu's plate had always been empty. Even if there was some food she gave him, his body would never be fine. He would not attend classes normally as if nothing had happened.
Does he really not need to eat?
After realizing this, Lingruo paid close attention to Bai Yu over the next few days and discovered that he really did not eat. Every time she left her seat to wash the dishes, Bai Yu would leave as well, and the food would be secretly shared and eaten by other hungry children.
White elm seems different from them.
She seemed to know Bai Yu's secret.
Bai Yu would climb out the window every night to look at the stars and would not come back until dawn.
At first Lingruo thought it was just Bai Yu's little habit. She liked to sleep outside and didn't like to stay in a house full of children. But one time, she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and she looked out the window and found Bai Yu with his eyes open.
Has he never slept?
In order to verify this hypothesis, Ling Ruo deliberately resisted the urge to sleep and did not sleep all night, squatting under the window to observe Bai Yu. Sure enough, he kept that posture until the sun was about to rise, then he climbed back out the window.
Lingruo's heart was pounding wildly. Bai Yu was indeed not a normal person.
An indescribable feeling filled her heart; she knew Bai Yu's secret.
Maybe he is not human.
Ling Ruo usually treated Bai Yu like other children in the orphanage. Even though he was a little withdrawn, he was just a child.
But now it’s different. She began to approach him actively and make friends with him.
Bai Yu seemed a little puzzled as to why Lingruo suddenly became so warm towards her, but she did not reject Lingruo's approach.
Lingruo pushed the meal to Baiyu and said, "Eat it."
Although she knew that Bai Yu didn't need to eat, Ling Ruo still shared her food with her because she found that Bai Yu would not refuse the food she gave her.
Very interesting.
She looked at him expressionlessly, ate the sweet and sour pork ribs she gave him in one gulp, and then swallowed it.
"Where are the bones? Bones need to be spit out."
Bai Yu's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, with a little sweet and sour sauce on the corners of her moist lips, and her black gemstone-like pupils were filled with a conflicted look.
He had already swallowed it.
Can't I swallow it whole?
After noticing that something was wrong with Bai Yu, Ling Ruo comforted him, "Okay, it's okay. Don't do this again next time."
She picked up the tissue and wiped Bai Yu's lips, "Good boy."
It was also during their daily interactions that Ling Ruo gradually discovered Bai Yu's inhumanity. He could not feel any pain, had no concept of time, and did not have any joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.
He even doesn't know that he should spit out the fish bones after eating fish, and that he shouldn't eat the banana peel.
Fortunately, Lingruo was watching, so his abnormality was not discovered by the adults.
There were no rich and varied activities or many toys in the orphanage.
Playing with children is indeed a great entertainment activity, but they cry too much and have childish tempers, with envy, jealousy and love all shown on their faces.
When she was with them, Lingruo felt more like an adult. When she played with them, she was always the first and the one who took charge.
There are only a few ways to play, and Lingruo has long been tired of it.
But Bai Yu is different. He has no joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, and he doesn't feel pain.
Lingruo taught him step by step how to laugh, get angry, be sad, or be happy when encountering any situation.
He was like her puppet. Under her instruction, his temperament gradually became normal and he would no longer swallow the ribs whole.
White elm was her toy and her joy in the orphanage.
Lingruo knew that Bai Yu's abnormality must not be known to the adults, so she had been disguising it very well.
She told and taught Bai Yu that he should eat well at mealtimes and sleep well at night. Even if he couldn't sleep, he should not stay in the yard all night.
Sometimes when she saw Bai Yu caught in the rain, she would hold an umbrella, bring him back, wipe the water off Bai Yu's body, and then tell him, "You've been caught in the rain for so long, you should be sick."
So the white elm became "sick".
Ling Ruo was slowly teaching Bai Yu to become a normal human being, and it was proven that she succeeded. Bai Yu was inseparable from her and became more and more like a normal person.
Ling Ruo thought that this was much more interesting than playing with children.
The days passed one by one, until one morning, Teacher Huahua woke her up.
"Lingruo, your parents are here."
