<p>37 – Love of Parents</p>
<p>In the past year and a half, Qin Yuan Yuan often saw her sister surrounded by various girls, most of whom were gentle and beautiful, and would buy her delicious food. But for some reason, even though these people seemed nice in her eyes, her sister kept changing them.</p>
<p>In the end, she ended up with the person she disliked the most. She thought her sister would switch partners quickly, but to her surprise, this person was still around…</p>
<p>This bad guy must have some kind of charm to have her sister so infatuated.</p>
<p>Yes, it has to be that way!</p>
<p>“I think Miss Xiaoyun’s parents must be kind people, but I don’t know where she lives,” Qin Xue said, not bothering to check if her sister was responding.</p>
<p>Thinking about how cute Su Yun looked when she was shy brought a feeling that was hard to describe.</p>
<p>It should be something fun and exciting, but Qin Xue felt a heavy heart, as if there was a secret being hidden.</p>
<p>She didn’t understand.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>At 3 PM, Su Yun put on black contact lenses and hurried through the bustling street.</p>
<p>To avoid certain situations, she specifically asked her parents to get off at the previous stop before the school gate.</p>
<p>Because this road was in the opposite direction of the one to school, she wouldn’t be surrounded by students, but rather by people from society.</p>
<p>People from society had never seen such a distinctive female student with snowy white hair, and from time to time, someone would cast a glance her way.</p>
<p>Internally, some admired her, while others looked down on her.</p>
<p>Soon, Su Yun spotted her parents standing under the bus stop sign in the distance, still deep in discussion, with her mother’s voice carrying loudly.</p>
<p>“Um…” She swallowed hard and steeled herself to approach slowly.</p>
<p>On her phone, Su Yun had told her parents that a girl with white hair was coming to pick them up, calling her a girlfriend.</p>
<p>“Uncle, Aunt, I’m here,” Su Yun said as she walked up to them.</p>
<p>“Sweetheart, we didn’t even know you had a girlfriend! Hehe,” Wang Hai-yan (her mother) was laughing, completely unaware that Su Yun had arrived.</p>
<p>“White-haired… Ah, you must be Su Yun’s friend!” Su Fulin (her father) said gently upon seeing a delicate-looking girl, worried about scaring her.</p>
<p>“Um, I am Su Yun’s friend,” Su Yun felt her body go rigid.</p>
<p>“Ah, you really are, and you’re quite pretty,” Wang Hai-yan assessed the slender girl before excitedly patting her husband’s shoulder.</p>
<p>“Look, she’s much prettier than the daughter of that woman at the factory who keeps bragging.”</p>
<p>“Hey, this child Su Yun is really kind, and we will treat you well. From now on, we are family,” Wang Hai-yan said loudly at the crowded station, clearly more excited than her husband.</p>
<p>Su Yun held her mother’s hand, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.</p>
<p>She didn’t dare to speak.</p>
<p>In the end, it was her father who told her mother to tone it down, and their conversation on the way home became much quieter.</p>
<p>But even her usually calm father couldn’t help but talk to her a lot at that moment.</p>
<p>Before long, they arrived home.</p>
<p>At the moment she stepped inside, Su Yun felt her body trembling uncontrolably, but the next second, thinking of that girl who had been taken away by an ambulance made her calm down significantly.</p>
<p>Her parents quickly entered the room, but they soon realized a fact: their child was not in the room.</p>
<p>“Did Su Yun go out to buy something?” Su Fulin turned to look at the white-haired girl, only to see her eyes darting away.</p>
<p>He quickly sensed something was wrong.</p>
<p>“With such a big house, the rent must be expensive, but that’s okay. You can live here, I’ll pay for it, just work hard,” he said.</p>
<p>Her mother was still lost in the joy of Su Yun finding a girlfriend, happily moving around the room.</p>
<p>“Uh…” Su Yun looked up and realized her father was staring at her.</p>
<p>Seeing that the girl didn’t answer his question made Su Fulin alert.</p>
<p>“Where did Su Yun go? Don’t be shy, tell me.”</p>
<p>Su Yun hesitated, preparing to speak.</p>
<p>“I…”</p>
<p>“Ding-ling-ling~” But the next second, Su Fulin directly dialed his son’s phone, and a lovely ringtone rang from Su Yun’s pocket.</p>
<p>“…”</p>
<p>“Dad, it’s me, Su Yun,” Su Yun mustered her courage and said to her father.</p>
<p>“Thud.” Su Fulin dropped his phone to the floor in shock.</p>
<p>How could he believe that his stout son suddenly turned into this frail girl?</p>
<p>Su Fulin thought his son must have been tricked by this girl, just like in the news, using girls as bait, only to jump out a few men in the room, overpower him, harvest his organs, and kill him.</p>
<p>“Tell me, where did Su Yun go?” Su Fulin’s tone became low and somewhat terrifying, his voice trembling.</p>
<p>He clenched his fists tightly, looking at the seemingly unaffected girl before him, his heart sinking further into despair.</p>
<p>This despair far exceeded his fear of death; he would rather die than let his child encounter such a fate.</p>
<p>In the next moment, Su Fulin swung his fist heavily. Even though he was getting older, as a man and the head of the family, he had to avenge his son.</p>
<p>“Don’t… Dad, calm down, it’s really me! Let me explain!” Su Yun began to swiftly dodge her father’s attacks in the hall.</p>
<p>But her father was also old; the strength of his swings made his body sway awkwardly, clearly struggling, which pained Su Yun.</p>
<p>She reached out, grasping his hand, making him stop.</p>
<p>“I also feel it’s very strange, but I really just woke up like this. You can ask me anything, Dad…”</p>
<p>“…” Su Fulin’s eyes widened. He never expected that his full strength could be easily caught by such a fragile girl.</p>
<p>He didn’t back down but shifted his gaze to the bedroom. The child’s mother had just gone in and hadn’t noticed anything amiss.</p>
<p>“Hey, what are you doing? What’s going on? Don’t move! What are you doing, old man?” When the mother came out, the first thing she did was push Su Fulin aside.</p>
<p>“Um, actually, I’m not Su Yun’s girlfriend. I am Su Yun, Mom…”</p>
<p>“What are you saying? Little girl, don’t talk nonsense.”</p>
<p>Su Fulin pulled his wife, who hadn’t reacted, and whispered to her, forcing her to believe him.</p>
<p>“…” Soon, their mother was frozen in place.</p>
<p>Su Yun had seen this situation before—when her dad was moving things and got hit on the back by heavy cargo from the truck, ending up in the hospital.</p>
<p>That middle-aged woman who usually wouldn’t stop talking, back then stood still beside her, without saying a word, quietly wiping her reddened eyes.</p>
<p>“Hey, give me back my Su Yun!” The mother’s voice choked, pushing against Su Yun’s chest.</p>
<p>Su Yun did not resist and was pushed onto the sofa just like that.</p>
<p>“My baby…”</p>
<p>The mother knelt in front of Su Yun, talking to herself.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>It was unclear how much time had passed, but finally, her parents were willing to listen to Su Yun speak, and it was time for explanations.</p>
<p>As for the mother, she was still crying on the side while the father spoke with Su Yun.</p>
<p>“What is Su Yun’s nickname?” Su Fulin simply asked without much preamble.</p>
<p>“Xiao Yun,” Su Yun answered directly without hesitation.</p>
<p>In fact, she was called Xiao Yun before primary school; it was just a mistake by her grandfather when naming her, dropping a syllable, turning it into Su Yun.</p>
<p>Afterward, no matter how many questions Su Fulin asked, Su Yun was able to respond.</p>
<p>After her father was starting to believe that she was indeed Su Yun, she narrated the entire situation.</p>
<p>“How could it be like this…” Su Fulin supported himself with his hands on his legs, looking serious.</p>
<p>“Should we go to the hospital for a check-up? We have the bank card, let’s go to the best hospital.”</p>
<p>“That won’t work…”</p>
<p>If they found out something was off with her body temperature, wouldn’t that expose her?</p>
<p>Su Yun fell silent.</p>
<p>In the past year and a half, Qin Yuan Yuan often saw her sister surrounded by various girls, most of whom were gentle and beautiful, and would buy her delicious food. But for some reason, even though these people seemed nice in her eyes, her sister kept changing them.</p>
