Chapter 7

I found out at dinner.

Mom and Dad were afraid I wouldn’t be comfortable staying at their house alone.

They heard that Miao Miao and I were good friends, so they specially requested permission from the director to have her come visit me in a couple of days.

Remembering what the bullet comments said, my hand trembled.

My chopsticks almost fell onto the table.

Mom and Dad looked at each other, seeming to notice something was wrong.

“What’s wrong, Yan Yan? Are you not feeling well?”

“Or do you not want Miao Miao to come over?”

“It’s my fault for making the decision so hastily without asking for your opinion.”

The bullet comments started arguing.

[The supporting character will definitely take this chance to refuse and prevent the female lead from coming.]

[As long as the female lead doesn’t meet the adoptive parents, her position won’t be replaced.]

[The supporting character is so selfish. Our poor female lead took such good care of her at the orphanage, yet she’s stealing the life that was meant for the female lead out of her own selfishness.]

[Hey, you upstairs, do you hear yourself? The supporting character is just a ten-year-old child. Isn’t it normal for her not to want to be abandoned?]

[Besides, the adoptive parents fell for her at first sight. She earned the family’s love through her own efforts. What do you mean she’s stealing the female lead’s life?]

I glanced at my kind Mom and Dad, then at the delicious and plentiful food on the table, and then at my scary brother.

Hiding the reluctance in my heart, I put on a smile and nodded firmly at Mom and Dad.

I wrote a sentence on a piece of paper and handed it to them.

“That’s great! Miao Miao can come and keep me company.”

Mom and Dad were relieved, and the peaceful atmosphere returned to our home.

The bullet comments were quiet for a few seconds.

[Aww, my baby is so naive. What’s wrong with being a little selfish? She just wants a family.]

[The baby must be heartbroken too. She loves her Mom and Dad so much.]

[She’s so scared of her brother that she sleeps with her head under the covers.]

[To stay with her Mom and Dad, she brainwashes herself every day into thinking her brother is the White Snake maiden and she is the monk Fahai, even carrying a golden bowl for Korean bibimbap in her pocket for protection.]

[Baby, don’t be afraid. If your Mom and Dad don’t want you, I’ll force the author to write you into my life.]

[No! Write her for me! I have a 5-acre villa!]

[Her place has a big forest with lots of snakes! Write her for me! I have cats and dogs and offer comprehensive anti-snake services!]
