Chapter Sixteen: Iris
"Don't worry, father, I have my own plans for this matter. Your daughter has grown up and can handle her own affairs." Ruan Wanwan said coquettishly towards General Chen.
Ruan Wanwan really didn't want to do anything to a little girl, as that violated her principles, and besides, she hadn't felt any malice from any little girl yet.
As long as there is no malice, it can be called goodwill, right?
"She was born as a killer. The mind of a person like this is not so easy to be influenced." General Chen still disagreed. Although he wanted to train Ruan Wanwan, he would never use this method to put trouble around Ruan Wanwan.
"If there is a shortage of available manpower, my father can just shoot it for you, but she is really too dangerous."
At first General Chen refused to agree to anything, but in the end it was Ruan Wanwan who persuaded General Chen to let him go.
But there is a time limit. After three months, General Chen will accompany his men to contact the girl. If the girl fails to pass the test of becoming General Chen, then General Chen will kill her no matter what Ruan Wanwan says.
Drop this girl.
Of course Ruan Wanwan agreed wholeheartedly.
The next day, Ruan Wanwan took Luan Xing to the courtyard outside Beijing as soon as she got up in the morning.
The children I bought yesterday still looked a little timid, but that was understandable.
When Ruan Wanwan went there, it happened to be when the captain of the second team was giving them a demonstration. Ruan Wanwan saw the girl standing aside, her face still looking careless, but her movements were the most standard among all the children, even harmonious.
The captain of the second team is not much different.
This is not surprising.
"Jing Xian and I go in." Ruan Wanwan waited until the captain of the second team stopped, then walked over and handed the pastries in her hand to Luan Xing and asked her to wait and distribute them to the children, while she took Jing away.
Xian, that’s the little girl.
"You don't like this name?" Once inside, Ruan Wanwan slowly poured a cup of tea for each of them before starting to chat.
There was a slight difference in the little girl's eyes, as if she didn't expect Ruan Wanwan to ask this question, "It's too bright and not suitable for me."
The little girl's voice was not as clear and crisp as that of girls his age. Instead, it was a little hoarse and quite neutral.
Ruan Wanwan thought for a while, it seemed like this was the first time the little girl had spoken in front of her.
"I think it's good. Jing means sunshine, and Xian is a very suitable word for a girl. You don't like it." Ruan Wanwan chuckled twice, and the little girl opposite did not answer or touch her.
Poured tea.
"Well, if you don't like it, you can change it later. How are the wounds on your body?" Since yesterday, Ruan Wanwan has discovered that this little girl has countless large and small wounds on her body, as well as other children.
The same, but not as many as hers.
"It's okay." He seemed to be quite taciturn with the little girl. She would answer whatever Ruan Wanwan asked. If she didn't want to answer, she wouldn't say anything at all. However, after such a morning conversation, the atmosphere between the two was not as good as before.
It's freezing.
"It's time for me to leave. When I come next time, I will bring you a new name. If you don't like it, just choose one yourself." Ruan Wanwan suddenly turned around and said this when she left.
"Wait a minute." The little girl stopped Ruan Wanwan with a hoarse voice, "If I were you, I would have killed you long ago."
It sounded a bit nonsensical, but Ruan Wanwan understood what the little girl said, "But you are not me, and it goes against my principles to attack a child who has no ill intentions towards me."
"I'm not a child." The little girl sneered, "If you don't want to cause trouble, it's better to just throw me out and find a place with no one, or a place with the most people, and then
, act like you don’t care.”
This is the longest sentence this little girl has said today.
"What a coincidence, the thing that I am least afraid of is really trouble." Ruan Wanwan smiled, knowing that this little girl had begun to let down her guard.
"Are you the Crown Princess?" Now it was the little girl's turn to be stunned, "You are the Crown Princess of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Beiliangye?"
"Yes, she is the crown prince of His Royal Highness Prince Beiliangye, the daughter of General Chen, the unique crown princess in this dynasty. So, I am not afraid of trouble, what else can I say?" Ruan Wanwan did not hide her pride at all,
She should be proud, her dignity is unique.
"Can I have another cup of tea?" It's another nonsense, but Ruan Wanwan has already had the habit of figuring out what this little girl says first. She always likes to hide her words, both her good intentions and her malice.
If the other party understands it, then it's just right. If not, she will only say one sentence to deserve it.
This little girl is indifferent from the bottom of her heart.
"Of course you can, as long as you have enough."
The two of them sat back in the room again, but what was different from last time was that this time it was not Ruan Wanwan who spoke first, but this taciturn little girl.
"I was trained by the killer organization."
Expected words.
"But now he is just a defector being hunted." This was a bit unexpected.
"And he's a defector with a blood feud." Ruan Wanwan nodded thoughtfully, "How about I call you Iris? If you don't like Jing Xian, you should like this one."
Once again, to the little girl's surprise, she was a little surprised to find that Ruan Wanwan always seemed to be able to say things he didn't expect.
The circuitry of the brain is always strange and surprising.
"It's just a name, you can call it anything." The little girl, no, it should be Iris now, seemed unconcerned, but the slightly clasped hand still revealed her true thoughts.
She has never had a name. In the organization, she is a tool or a machine. In the hands of human traffickers, she is an animal or a commodity that can bring in money. There is no need for a name.
But she wants to be a person, a living person, a person with a name that is unique to her.
It was precisely because Ruan Wanwan kept focusing on such a "trivial" thing again and again that she finally had the idea of trusting someone again.
Even if they are being used, they should be used by people who are pleasing to their eyes.
Iris thought indifferently, deliberately ignoring the desire in her heart. As long as it is used, it proves that it still has the value of existence.
Ruan Wanwan felt that Yi Li's mood was quite unstable, so he reached out his hand and rubbed her head.
