This time, Jun was the one who looked shocked after hearing Mo Lan's question. Even Zhang Hei slightly widened his eyes after hearing what the old man had just asked.
"Why... why do you suddenly want to adopt him, Old Mo?" The usually calm Zhang Hei even looked flustered when he asked that question.
"This is indeed sudden," Mo Lan muttered an answer to the long-haired man's question. "Before today, my thinking has been too narrow. I thought my wife and I could only adopt a child or even a newborn, but we could actually be guardians for teenagers or young adults, right? It is easier to care for adults, anyway. At least, we will be less physically tired when caring for an adult than if we insist on caring for a child. Therefore, it will not be a burden on my sick wife. That's a good idea, isn't it?"
