Good Man Operation Guide

The teenager, who had been sitting silently beside Zhou Chuchu since he got into the car, slightly leaned his head against the window. His eyes, which had been closed, slightly opened and looked out at the fleeting scenery outside the window, hiding the tears in his eyes.

When he first got into the car, he gestured and said he was carsick.

Mrs. Lin thoughtfully asked him to lean on her shoulder, but Wang Xuan refused and leaned against the car window.

Mr. Lin turned the music off in the car, so as not to disturb him. It was silent inside the car at the moment.

Actually, he lied. He wasn’t carsick. He just didn’t want to hear the truth from Mr. and Mrs. Lin.

This was the first time he lied to someone he wanted to be close to, so Wang Xuan’s heart was filled with guilt and loss.

He felt that he was too shameless and greedy.

Getting help and wanting more.

If it were Mr. and Mrs. Lin, it wouldn’t be like this.

He was unwilling to open his eyes, unwilling to sit up, unwilling to listen to Mr. and Mrs. Lin tell him the truth.

Just this once.

Wang Xuan prayed in his heart.

Just this once, just this once.

Just let him pretend that this was his Mom and Dad, that this was his family.

They loved him in the same way they loved their own child. Protecting him and helping him not out of pity, but rather because they loved him.

He wanted to fantasized just this once. By the time the car reached its destination, he would have a perfect grateful smile on his face.

No loss would be revealed and no sadness would be felt.

He would say thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Lin, instead of secretly calling them Mom and Dad in his heart.

Wang Xuan gazed out the window, at the various landscapes. His eyes blinked repeatedly, struggling to hide the tears that were welling up.

He opened his mouth, in the angle that the other two people in the car couldn’t see, and silently called out.

Dad, Mom...

The satisfaction he got from calling out these two words was much more than Wang Xuan could have imagined. So, he relaxed and smiled, the sourness under his eyes transforming into shyness and joy.

He leaned against the window, his eyes looking out, feeling that inner contentment and praying silently in his heart.

/ hope the journey back is a little longer and slower.

The car slowly stopped and Lin Shiheng, who was sitting in the driver’s seat and concentrating on driving, opened his seat belt and turned to his wife and son with a smile, “Come on, let’s go to dinner. Grandma must have been waiting for a long time.”

Zhou Chuchu was afraid of disturbing her child, who had fallen asleep due to car sickness. Even though she had a lot of things in her heart that she wanted to say to her son, to ask him what he had suffered when he was trafficked and what he wanted when he returned home, she tried to hold back and kept quiet the whole way home.

Although she kept quiet, her beautiful face revealed a smile every now and then, and when she remembered that the boy had suffered so much, that smile turned to heartache.

So she cried and smiled all the way here, and she didn’t even know how many times she wiped the corners of her eyes before they finally arrived home. When she remembered that the child hadn’t rejected them when they first identified each other, Zhou Chuchu’s heart was filled with joy. She couldn’t wait to take Xuan Xuan home and properly protect him.

Hearing her husband’s reminder, Zhou Chuchu first turned sideways to look at her son. When she saw Wang Xuan, who had been leaning against the window, sit up, she smiled and turned sideways to help him unbuckle his seat belt.

“Come on Xuan Xuan. You like to eat fish, right? Your Great Grandma bought some freshly caught fish, she’s very good at cooking fish.”

As Wang Xuan listened to what seemed like a mother’s ordinary words to her son, the tears he had managed to suppress nearly welled up again.

He had suffered a lot since he was a child. He had developed from weeping at the first sign of distress to barely shedding a tear now.

Wang Xuan thought he was already strong enough.

But now he realized that it wasn’t just pain that could make a person cry, but happiness as well.

He pursed his lips, swallowed the sourness in his heart and struggled to show a grateful, gloom-free smile on his face, as he gestured at Zhou Chuchu.

[No need, I am already grateful to you and Uncle Lin today. I am a bit tired today, so I should go back and rest first]

Wang Xuan was alarmed when he saw the smile on Zhou Chuchu’s face fade away and turn into a dazed stare. There was pain in her eyes, as she looked at him, while tears were trickled down her face.

He practically scrambled for tissue paper and tried to hand it over to Zhou Chuchu, to wipe her tears.

Zhou Chuchu didn’t take it. She was still crying, crying so hard that her whole being seemed to be crushed.

Wang Xuan gestured in a panic, [what’s wrong? Did I make you angry?]

“Xuan Xuan, we really didn’t mean to lose you, really..."

Zhou Chuchu’s eyes were already blurred with tears. Her crying was always silent, and even when she made a sound it was a small sob. But this time, she couldn’t control herself.

When Wang Xuan refused to acknowledge them before, a huge stone weighed on her heart. If Lin Shiheng hadn’t made the decision to bring her to Wang Xuan, so that she could be close to the child, she would have collapsed.

For a mother who had persistently searched for her lost child for 10 years, finding him was difficult enough. However, hearing the other party refuse to acknowledge his parents, it wasn’t pain that welled up, but self-blame.

If he hadn’t suffered outside and lost trust in people, how could he, a child living alone outside and only 15 years old, not want to return to his biological parents’ home?

Zhou Chuchu grabbed Wang Xuan’s arm as if she was holding on to the last straw. She was afraid that if she released her grip, her child would disappear.

Under Wang Xuan’s panicked and worried eyes, she desperately begged almost hopelessly, “We’ve been looking for you. We have never not wanted you... I... I’ve searched many places... I’ve seen many children... many human trafficking organizations that have been dismantled by the police... but... but I can’t find you... so many... so many children... but you just weren’t there....”

“Xuan Xuan, don’t hate Mom and Dad, okay? We’ve really, really tried our best...”

Zhou Chuchu cried and leaned her head on Wang Xuan’s shoulder, crying and repeating, “I really tried my best..."

Wang Xuan’s mind went blank.

Lin Shiheng, who was still sitting in front of him, kept his position of looking back. When Wang Xuan looked at him, he noticed that Mr. Lin, who he had always thought was omnipotent, also had red eyes.

He was lowering his hand from wiping the corner of his eyes. When he saw Wang Xuan looking at him, he solemnly spoke in a hoarse voice, “Xuan Xuan, don’t blame your Mom. I lost you, she has been looking for you for the past 10 years and has never given up. I know you must have gone through something to refuse to acknowledge us. Please believe Mom and Dad, we’ll never let anything happen to you again.”

Dad, Mom...?

Wang Xuan was practically bewildered. But at the same time, great joy quickly filled his entire heart once more.

He pinched himself hard in the arm.

It hurts.

But the pain was sweet.

Mr. Lin said that he was his father.

Mrs. Lin said that she was his mother.

They said, he was their child.

Wang Xuan could hear his heart beating loudly.

Thump —

Thump —

It seemed like a joyful soundtrack, announcing that his dream had come true.

Accompanied by the sound, he reached out and lifted Zhou Chuchu, who was crying on his shoulder.

As she sobbed and looked up at him, Wang Xuan held out his hand and gestured to her.

[Mom.]

After that, he turned around and looked at Lin Shiheng.

[Dad.]

Wang Xuan still had tears on his face, but he broke out into a happy smile.

Smiling and crying at the same time.

[Thank you for finding me.]

Thank you for telling me, after treating me so gently, that...

Tm your child.
