Chapter 0010: Yang Yan's Decision

That is because Yan Zi has been working hard to earn money. Throughout his four years in university, apart from the tuition fees of the first year, all his tuition and living expenses have been earned by himself, as he does not want to spend his mother's retirement salary. " Lei Zhentian explained

Finally, I must express my decision. Yang Yan smiled brightly, as if he always brought positive energy to everyone. He gently said: "I was raised under the care and love of others! Now that fate has allowed me to meet Luo Luo, I must take on the task of passing on this love, sharing the affection I received during my growth with her, ensuring that she does not grow up in loneliness and indifference! Therefore, I have decided, I want to adopt Luo Luo!"

Lei Zhentian remained silent, while Jiang Yuan seemed a bit slow to realize the situation, exclaiming in surprise: "Ah?"

"Running to the hospital a few times, do you think you have become a saint who saves lives? Adopting a child, is that something you can just casually say? Do you think it's like adopting a cat or a dog?" Fang Hexu questioned fiercely.

Indeed! So I guessed from the very beginning that he would adopt Luo Luo, just as his mother adopted and cared for him, to nurture the growth of that little girl said Lei Zhentian with a sigh

Lei Zhentian fell silent

"What kind of person is Yan Zi? After all these years, do you still not know?" Lei Zhentian retorted

"You just need to know!" Fang Hexu said irritably, "I originally planned to come back tonight to talk some sense into you, but I didn't expect you to really act foolishly! Adopting a child, do you know how to raise her? Do you understand the responsibilities you have to bear?"

Moreover, I had long anticipated that Yan Zi would eventually adopt that child!" Lei Zhentian sighed and said, "From the very first night, when we returned to the dormitory after dinner and he mentioned wanting to visit Luo Luo in the hospital, I knew.

I understand!" Yang Yan nodded gratefully.

Then... then... Jiang Yuan was hesitating, unsure of what to say

Indeed, Yan Zi's abilities are quite impressive, as she can discuss issues with the engineers over at Sister Xie's side. I also applied for a position with Sister Xie, but she mentioned that I still lack a bit of experience. Jiang Yuan scratched his head a little awkwardly

Forget it, I cannot persuade you either, I have to go for my interview as well. Fang Hexu, feeling indignant, picked up his document bag and walked out in front of Yang Yan.

Lei Zhentian shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Have you forgotten what I just said? Once Yan Zi has made a decision, no amount of persuasion will be of any use! Moreover, do you think that if I could persuade him not to do this, I would remain silent?"

Jiang Yuan was a bit puzzled. After some hesitation, he couldn't help but ask: "Old Lei, why don't you persuade Yan Zi? You have the best relationship with him!"

Jiang Yuan scratched his head and said with difficulty, "Well..."

Because Yan Zi is an orphan himself, the situation he experienced in the past is quite similar to what Luo Luo is going through now

However, in the face of Fang Hexu's questioning, Yang Yan remained calm. He said earnestly, "Lunchbox, the issues you raised have all been considered by me. Rest assured, I am willing to take on this responsibility and am also willing to learn how to take care of a child"

"Orphan?" Jiang Yuan exclaimed, but he quickly furrowed his brows and asked in confusion, "No, Lao Lei, I remember when we first arrived in our freshman year, we even met Yan Zi's mother, didn't we?"

So that's how it is... No wonder Yan Zi usually lives so frugally. Jiang Yuan exclaimed with some admiration, but soon he had another question, "But why doesn't Yan Zi talk about his difficult situation? Families in hardship can apply for poverty assistance and national scholarships! At the very least, we classmates can lend a helping hand!"

Lei Zhentian sighed inwardly and deliberated before saying: "Yanzi, I suggest you take a moment to calm down and not rush into a decision. Give yourself a bit more time to consider."

Lei Zhentian smiled wryly and called out to Yang Yan just as he was about to leave: "Yan Zi, wait a moment!"

"Why do you say that?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously

"Then how do you plan to solve your own problems?" Fang Hexu became somewhat agitated, stood up from the chair, waved his arm, and said, "You, a man in your twenties who has never had a girlfriend and is not married, want to adopt a child. Later, when you want to date or get married, what do you think will happen when other girls see your situation? Won't they all run away? Who would be willing to step in as a stepmother to your child right from the start?"

Yang Yan was taken aback; he had indeed not considered this issue.

"Indeed, Yan Zi, this matter is not a joke; you should consider it seriously," Jiang Yuan said softly behind him.

After a long while, Yang Yan raised his hand to check the time on his watch, stood up from his chair, and said: "I need to go to the police station to inquire with Officer Xia about how to handle the adoption procedures. It is essential to make arrangements as soon as possible and not to cause any more trouble for Dr. Peng and the others."

What does it mean? Jiang Yuan is confused.

"Fart! I just can't believe there are such foolish girls in the world!" Fang Hexu scoffed.

When Yang Yan returned, he appeared to be burdened with worries, but now he has suddenly become at ease, wearing a positive smile. How could Lei Zhentian, who knows him best, be unaware of the change in his thoughts

"Lunchbox!" Lei Zhentian felt that Fang Hexu's words were a bit too harsh, and quickly called out.

After Yang Yan left, Dormitory 506 became half empty, with only Jiang Yuan, who sat in a chair looking distressed, and Lei Zhentian, who stood there in a daze, remaining.

This is also why, despite experiencing misfortune in his childhood, Yang Yan was able to grow up to be very bright and cheerful, possessing a laid-back and optimistic personality

Yang Yan sat down in his chair and then said: "In fact, even if Dr. Peng hadn't told me these things today, I would still know that Luo Luo cannot stay in the hospital forever. I had been avoiding this issue because I hoped to have a little more time to find her parents."

On the other side, Fang Hexu, dressed in a suit and preparing for an interview, furrowed his brows and could no longer help but raise his voice, scolding, "Yanzi, have you lost your mind?"

"Old Lei, it’s alright, I know that the lunchbox is also his way of caring for me," Yang Yan said, waving his hand and smiling nonchalantly.

Oh, I understand now! This is why Yan Zi just said that he himself was a child who grew up under the care, love, and protection of others, and that he wants to pass on love to Luo Luo! Jiang Yuan's memory is still quite good, and he suddenly realized, saying, "Just now I thought Yan Zi had read too many inspirational articles and was talking about things I couldn't comprehend at all. It turns out there is a deep connection to it!"

Do you remember that Yan Zi almost went to Sister Xie Ziyun's company for an internship every week?" Lei Zhentian said to Jiang Yuan

Yang Yan looked over, however, Lei Zhentian was not prepared to persuade him. He simply stood up from his chair, lightly patted Yang Yan's shoulder with his fist, and said solemnly: "Yan Zi, if there is anything you need my help with, just let me know! Although we brothers sometimes speak a bit harshly, it is all for your own good. As long as you make a decision, we will fully support you! We will provide you with all the help within our capabilities!"

It turns out that Yang Yan's parents passed away in a car accident when he was very young, and he was adopted by Lu Xiuli, also known as Mama Lu, who was a colleague at the elementary school where Yang Yan's father taught, and a distant cousin of Yang Yan's mother

It can be said that although Yang Yan is an orphan, he has not lost the love of family. The Lu Xiuli family treats him as one of their own, and even several older brothers and sisters, who had already grown up at that time, are very fond of Yang Yan, their little brother

Yang Yan was momentarily taken aback, but soon regained his earlier resolve. He smiled firmly and said, "Lunch boxes, Jiang Yuan, it doesn't matter. With so many girls across China, I believe there will still be kind-hearted young women who can understand and empathize with me"

There is a fact that we all know too well: since Luoluo's parents abandoned her, it means they are unlikely to be easily found by us. Therefore, what ultimately lies before us is still the question of Luoluo's fate. Yang Yan's expression is clear and logical, and it is evident that he is very calm

However, Yang Yan merely nodded gratefully at Lei Zhentian, still holding to his own stance, and calmly said: "Old Lei, I understand your point. In fact, I have been considering this matter calmly for more than half a month. But regardless of the circumstances, I will not allow Luo Luo to go to the welfare institution"

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment before nodding with a bitter smile: "Indeed... if Zhang Luo were to speak out loudly, it would no longer be his own words!"

Lei Zhentian has kept the secret for a year, but he just let it slip out, and now he feels a bit regretful

By the way, regarding today's matter, let's just have a chat between the two of us, and you shouldn't mention it outside. Even Shi Yun is not suitable!" At this moment, Lei Zhentian suddenly remembered that he hadn't kept it confidential and quickly reminded Jiang Yuan, "If you let it slip, I will be very upset with you!"

Jiang Yuan glanced at Yang Yan and then at Lei Zhentian, feeling somewhat confused: What kind of riddle are these two playing?

"That is not Yan Zi's mother!" As soon as Lei Zhen Tian finished saying this, he quickly shook his head and smiled, saying, "No, no, what I mean is, she is Yan Zi's mother, but she is not his biological mother"

This is something I only learned last summer when I went to Yan Zi's house to play. However, since you haven't been to Yan Zi's home, you wouldn't know. Let me briefly tell you about it! But you mustn't tell anyone else!" Lei Zhen Tian hesitated for a moment and slowly began to recount Yang Yan's story

Yang Yan's expression shifted slightly, but he had no intention of persuading Fang Hexu, who was currently a bit stuck in his own stubbornness. He simply smiled calmly and said: "Lunch box, I apologize, but on this matter, please allow me to be stubborn just this once"

There was nothing more to discuss, and for a moment, Dormitory 506 fell into silence
