A Disabled Alpha’S Guide To Being Loved Chapter 45
byChapter 45 It would be great if brother Cheng Cheng were the mother Qiu Yao
Ji Ziheng sent Wei Zhi and Cheng Cheng to Omega House, answered the phone and left in a hurry.
The housekeeper mother of Omega House received Wei Zhi warmly because Wei Zhi donated a lot of materials to them and even funded the construction of a double-story library for the children to read.
To ensure the safety of Omega, the country has clear regulations.
Omega children who are abandoned or have no direct relatives are not allowed to be taken in by ordinary orphanages like Beta and Alpha, but can only be taken care of by the Omega Home affiliated with the local Omega Protection Association.
However, the current protection system is not perfect yet, and the association has always been troubled by two major problems. One is the excessive number of children, and the other is the charity allocation is far lower than that of ordinary welfare homes.
Today, both in the political arena and in society, there are still many straight-A cancers and anti-A elements.In their eyes, only Alpha is worthy of important positions, and Omega is born to give birth to Alpha.
Because of this, Wei Zhi, a generous donor who does not seek fame or fortune, has become the association’s most scarce “sweet potato.”
The dean’s mother is a plump, middle-aged Beta. She first led Wei Zhi and Cheng Cheng to visit the first floor.
The older children are taking interest classes.Walking through every corridor, the dean can accurately name the creator of every painting on the wall. When talking about the children, her face is filled with a happy and gentle smile, as if she is telling her own treasures.
“Next, let’s go up to the second floor. The younger children will gather together to play games in the afternoon. It may be a bit noisy. Mr. Wei and Mr. Cheng, please forgive me.”
Following the elevator upstairs, as soon as the door opened, the sound of children playing and playing hit us. The walls of each room facing the corridor are single-sided visual glass, making it easier for housekeepers and mothers to pay attention to their children in time.
Standing in the corridor and looking into the room on the left, several children are sitting on the floor playing a bead-piercing game. Their eyes look more or less a little crooked.
The mother of the dean explained softly: “These children are born with visual disabilities. Playing more delicate games such as stringing beads can help them delay the deterioration of their eyesight.”
Walking further inside, in the next activity room, the children were throwing sandbags under the leadership of the teacher, sweating profusely and having a great time.
Cheng Cheng asked curiously: “Mom, dean, the weather is so nice today, why don’t you take the children to play on the playground?”
The dean shook his head helplessly: “No, it will make other children jealous.”
She paused and spoke in a darker tone, “Some children are born with disabled legs and feet. They will never be able to run, jump or do strenuous exercise in their lives, and their mental development is not yet mature. If they watch children with good legs and feet playing, they will feel unwilling to do so, and they may do something unexpected.”
After saying that, the dean subconsciously looked at Wei Zhi, but saw that his expression was indifferent, as if he was not touched at all.
“I want to go see Qiu Yao.” Wei Zhi suddenly said.
“Oh, okay, please come this way.” The dean hurriedly led the way, feeling secretly worried for fear that he would say something he shouldn’t have said and offend this distinguished guest.
Qiu Yao inherited bow legs from her father. When she walks, her thighs to knees are turned outwards, and her calves are pulled in. The middle of her legs cannot be brought together. When she walks, she will draw a shallow oval in the air, which looks a bit funny to normal people.
He was among a group of disabled children, silently practicing walking with the physical teacher.
No one here would laugh at his legs, but Qiu Yao’s heart was full of resistance.He was unwilling to be trapped in a mutilated body like these “similar people”, trapped in this small place.
Wei Zhi watched Qiu Yao quietly at the door, memories flooding back to him.
When he first found Qiu Xinyu, little Qiu Yao was always following his father, busy in front of the braised food stall, with a carefree and happy smile on his face.
At that time, even though his legs were disabled, he still had light in his eyes, light steps, and never felt such heavy silence.
As if aware of the gaze across the wall, Qiu Yao frowned alertly and glanced around quickly, his eyes filled with vigilance that was inappropriate for his age.
He has long been accustomed to vigilance. Here, only by being careful enough can he not be ignored or hurt.
“This child has been here for a long time, but he is not very gregarious.” The dean sighed softly, his voice was very low, “Sometimes he will pester the teachers and ask questions, but he is never willing to play with other children. If no one adopts him by next year, he will have to study with our class.”
Wei Zhi raised his eyes: “Hasn’t there any potential adopter who has come to see him yet?”
The dean thought about it carefully: “There was a family whose Alpha child grew up and went to study abroad, so they wanted to adopt an Omega child. But Qiu Yao was not willing, but this is normal. The couple is not young and will have a grandson in a few years. I am afraid they don’t have much energy to take care of him.”
The dean did not know that Wei Zhi’s adoption procedures had been obstructed by Jiang Lingfei, and the relevant information had not been transmitted to the association.
In her eyes, Wei Zhi was just a generous philanthropist, not just for Qiu Yao.
“Mr. Wei, do you want to chat with Qiu Yao? I’ll call him.” The dean opened the door and waved to Qiu Yao cordially, signaling him to come out.
Qiu Yao couldn’t walk fast, so he slowly walked to the dean in a semi-ellipse step by step.
“Mom, Dean.” He called softly, and immediately lowered his head, his long eyelashes hanging down, covering the emotions in his eyes.
He doesn’t like contact with strangers, and those probing glances always remind him of his legs and that he is a “different” child.
“Qiu Yao, this is Mr. Wei. He wants to see you.” The dean patted his shoulder gently and encouraged him softly, “Raise your head and be confident.”
Qiu Yao timidly raised his head and saw Wei Zhi sitting in a wheelchair. His eyes widened in shock and he subconsciously blurted out: “Mr. Wei, I’ve seen you on TV.”
Not long ago, the teacher took them to watch a movie, in which the man in a wheelchair played an affectionate painter.But in the movie, he was clearly standing, so why is he in a wheelchair now?Could it be that he is sick?
Cheng Cheng put his arm around Wei Zhi’s shoulders and explained for him: “That was a play he performed a few years ago. Now that he is sick, just call him Uncle Wei.”
Qiu Yao’s eyes fell on Cheng Cheng and noticed that he and Wei Zhi were holding hands together. The two looked particularly close.
He couldn’t help but leaned forward and asked in a low voice: “Brother, will Uncle Wei be okay? Can he act again?”
Mr. Wei performed so well that everyone around him cried.
“Well… maybe, his doctors are trying their best to treat him.” Cheng Cheng knelt down, looked level with Qiu Yao, and spoke softly.
Wei Zhi frowned slightly, feeling an inexplicable displeasure passing through his heart.
Why is he the “uncle” and Cheng Cheng becomes the “brother”?
“It won’t get better.” Wei Zhi’s voice was calm, without any waves.
Cheng Cheng glared at him and signaled him not to say such depressing words in front of his children. Moreover, medicine would only become more and more advanced, and it was not certain whether the treatment would be good or not.
Wei Zhi sat up straight and looked down at Qiu Yao: “I can’t stand up anymore, but that doesn’t stop me from being more successful than most mediocre people.”
It turned out that what he wanted to say was this. Cheng Cheng stood aside, feeling like he had received a 10,000-point critical hit.
However, Qiu Yao let go of the hand holding the dean’s mother’s clothes and took a small step forward, her eyes full of expectation: “Really?”
The dean smiled and added: “Of course it’s true! The toys you usually play with and the books you read are all donated by Mr. Wei. He is amazing.”
Qiu Yao screamed in disbelief: “Uncle Wei is even more powerful than dad!”
Wei Zhi’s eyes darkened, thinking of Qiu Xinyu, and then he smiled again: “Your father used to be my employee. He was very good and worked very hard.”
Qiu Yao shook his head vigorously and murmured: “But dad has done irreparable bad things. He is a bad dad.”
Cheng Cheng saw a familiar emotion in Qiu Yao’s eyes.That evolved from deep love and resentment towards parents.
He understands this feeling, this suffering of not being able to love and eventually turning into resentment.
He used to hate his father for leaving everything behind and die like this, he hated his mother for feeling sorry for herself all day long like a madman and not caring about anything, and he even hated the injustice of fate.
Qiu Yao also hated his father for making him a helpless orphan at a young age, with all his disabilities.
“Your dad is not bad, he just made the wrong choice.”
The worst choice he ever made was to commit suicide and abandon his precious son.
Cheng Cheng gently hugged Qiu Yao into his arms, and the next second, he heard slight sobs coming from his arms.
Qiu Yao suppressed it at first, but then he no longer restrained himself. His hands that dropped gradually used strength to hold Cheng Cheng’s waist, and started to cry loudly.
He seemed to understand the emotion in Cheng Cheng’s eyes for a moment, and he seemed to have found his own kind.
He hasn’t cried like this for a long time. Here, he must be sensible and quiet, and cannot cause trouble to anyone. All grievances and sadness can only be kept in his heart.
But now in Cheng Cheng’s arms, he seemed to have found an outlet to vent his anger and found someone who could understand him.
The dean was a little panicked. He didn’t know why Qiu Yao suddenly started crying. He was usually very well-behaved and quiet. He would not actively disturb others, let alone reveal his emotions easily. Only a few of his favorite teachers could say a few words to him.
Cheng Cheng felt sorry for Qiu Yao from the bottom of his heart. He knew very well what it felt like to lose a loved one, not to mention that Qiu Yao was only a ten-year-old child and had to bear so much alone.
Wei Zhi watched this scene in silence, and after a moment he slowly spoke: “Dean, we want to take Qiu Yao out for a meal, what procedures do we need to go through?”
The dean quickly came to his senses: “You need to leave emergency contact information, explain the reason for leaving the hospital, and put a locator on Qiu Yao. These are the regulations of the headquarters!”
“Okay, you take me to do it.” Wei Zhi turned the wheelchair and looked at the children with red eyes, “Xiao Cheng, you and Qiu Yao are waiting for me in the lobby at the entrance.”
Cheng Cheng held Qiu Yao’s little hand and walked slowly to the hall. He took out a tissue from his pocket and carefully wiped the tears on his face: “Qiu Yao, let’s all be happy in the future, okay?”
Qiu Yao looked at him blankly, with wet moisture still in his eyes.
Cheng Cheng looked at his stupid look and couldn’t help but smile: “We must all try to forget those bad things and replace them with happy memories.”
“What are…happy memories?” Qiu Yao asked timidly, quietly hooking Cheng Cheng’s finger with her little hand.
Cheng Cheng’s hand was big and warm, making him feel at ease when holding it.
“Uncle Wei and I will take you to eat hot pot later. There is free ice cream in the hot pot restaurant, and there is also a clown performing for children.” Cheng Cheng said with a smile, “Is this considered a happy thing?”
Qiu Yao shook his head blankly and said in a small voice, “I have never seen a clown show.”
In his childhood, there were only the fireworks of the braised food stall and the busy figure of his father. There had never been such a novel thing.
“You’ll know after a while!” Cheng Cheng squeezed his face, which was as soft and bouncy as jelly.
Qiu Yao stared at Cheng Cheng’s profile. He and this brother had only known each other for a while, but he seemed to have known him for a long time.
He never had a mother, and his father and uncle were very kind to him, but they would not take the initiative to tell him stories, buy nice hairpins, prepare delicious lunches, or gently pinch his face to wipe away his tears.
After coming here, every housekeeper mother has to take care of many, many children. He wants to talk to them, but every time he finds the busy figures of the housekeeper mothers.
He really wants to have his own mother, wants to sit under the quilt and chat with her, wants to be held in her arms and act like a baby, wants her to kiss his forehead before going to bed, and wants to fall asleep smelling her scent.
Mom…but he doesn’t have a mother, and he never will.
Qiu Yao looked at Cheng Cheng infatuatedly, and suddenly a ridiculous idea came to his mind.
It would be great if brother Cheng Cheng was the mother.
As soon as the thought came up, he quickly suppressed it, his cheeks feeling slightly hot.
Wei Zhi quickly arrived at the hall and saw Qiu Yao clinging to Cheng Cheng.
When Cheng Cheng saw Wei Zhi, he gently pulled Qiu Yao up: “We are leaving.”
Qiu Yao followed Cheng Cheng and Wei Zhi out of Omega House. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief until he confirmed that the dean’s mother had disappeared at the door.
He hated the ubiquitous gaze here, hated the feeling of being restrained and being monitored, but he knew clearly that he would eventually come back here.
He has nowhere else to go, this is his only “home”.
A huge feeling of loss enveloped him instantly.
Qiu Yao’s head dropped again and his steps slowed down.
Cheng Cheng immediately noticed that something was wrong with his mood and gently squeezed his palm: “What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”
Qiu Yao blinked: “My legs hurt a little.”
In fact, he didn’t want to walk anymore, and he wanted to be held by brother Cheng Cheng.The feeling of being held was warm and safe, a feeling he had not experienced in a long time.
Cheng Cheng reacted immediately and blamed himself: “I’m sorry, I didn’t think well. We should have taken a taxi.”
The hot pot restaurant was only a few hundred meters away from Omega House. He didn’t ask Qiu Yao how far his legs could walk, and he didn’t know the extent of his disability, so he decided to walk rashly. It was his own negligence.
“It doesn’t matter, then Brother Xiaocheng, please hug me.” Qiu Yao said sweetly.
Wei Zhi originally wanted to say that he could just let Qiu Yao sit on his lap. Anyway, his legs had no feeling and the electric wheelchair could bear the weight of two people.
But before he could say anything, he heard Qiu Yao’s request, and his eyebrows suddenly frowned slightly.
Cheng Cheng immediately agreed: “No problem!”
A ten-year-old skinny kid can carry him for several kilometers without any effort at all, let alone hundreds of meters.
He bumped slightly, and Qiu Yao was held firmly in his arms.
Qiu Yao hugged Cheng Cheng’s neck and seemed to smell the smell of grape-flavored shampoo.
As the sun shone down, his deep index finger touched Cheng Cheng’s lowered eyelashes. The light seemed to stop there for a moment, shining brightly.
“What’s wrong?” Cheng Cheng raised his eyes.
Qiu Yao shook his head, took his hand back and clenched it into a fist, as if to hold the light in his palm.
