I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 334 Stop it, Ayu
Jinguji Hiiragi Jing took a few looks and found that there was something wrong with these children. Some had strange expressions, some behaved abnormally, and he fell silent.

Asumi saw Sanae leaning close to Higashino Yu's ear and whispering, "Are they not feeling well?"

Higashino Yu nodded, "Rina suffers from a congenital mental retardation disease."

Most of the children who remain in the orphanage today have congenital diseases, such as Kenta who has ALS and Mitsuha who has Down syndrome.
Because of these defects, basically no family would be willing to accept them, and their final fate would probably be to grow up carefree in an orphanage and attend some special schools during this period.

If they are ultimately unable to integrate into society, they will be accepted by some adult social welfare agencies.

Although there is a clear route, no one knows what kind of life will await them in the future.

Therefore, Dong Yeyu felt very sympathetic towards them and always thought well of them.

It’s a pity that Jiaoli is helpless against these diseases.

It can only provide pure Yi wood essence and the spiritual essence of the five elements, which can help people practice and prolong their lifespan, but it cannot treat at the genetic level.

To cure these diseases, one must have a magic elixir that can transform a person completely.

Of course, even so, Dong Ye Yu still planned to cut some for the children to share.

A small amount cannot extend their lifespan much, but it can keep them healthy and free from disease.

Several people were surrounded by a group of children and walked towards the main building of Sunshine Garden. When passing by the scaffolding, Dong Yeyu also directed the workers and reminded them of some small details that were missed, showing a strong sense of ownership.

The main building had only one double door, which was now open. The copper door knocker on the wooden door had been polished to its original brass color, and the nameplate "Sunshine Garden" on the door panel was glowing with a hazy light under the scorching midsummer sun.

Pushing open the oak door that was replaced in the first year of the Heisei era, the door hinges made a long groan like an old record. It was not harsh, but made Higashino Yu feel at ease.

This is the sound I have been listening to for more than ten years.

Passing through the cypress entrance that has faded to light brown, the wall with donor nameplates stands quietly on the left.

The bronze nameplates are arranged from the first year of the Taisho era to the end of the Heisei era, and the Reiwa nameplates on the top layer are obviously much sparser.

In front of the shrine dedicated to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the corner, three bright cosmos chrysanthemums are placed in a vase made from a Coke bottle.

The sunlight shines through the glass windows of the lobby, casting square spots of light on the wooden floor. There is no draft, and the dust seems to be stuck by sticky sweat. Time seems to have frozen here. It is a quiet place forgotten by the world.

Now is the hottest time of the day, and the other children should squeeze into the only air-conditioned room upstairs to rest - there is no other way, the summer in this island country is so hot that people can get heatstroke, and it is impossible to survive without turning on the air conditioner.

"Your names will be hung here soon, and will be immortalized along with the existence of Sunshine Garden!" Dong Ye Yu said in an exaggerated tone.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami glanced at him and said in a cold voice: "Eternal immortality is used to describe the dead."

Dong Yeyu showed an ashamed expression: "Really? I'm not very good at Chinese studies. I'm really sorry for making a fool of myself."

Mingri saw Sanae looking at him lying with an expressionless face. He had the highest attainment in Chinese studies among the people present, even he himself who could speak Chinese fluently could not compare to him.

Hanafuse Ogino watched their conversation with a smile, and she felt in her heart that these two girls were indeed different from other girls she had seen before.

"Where are the others?" Imagawa Kashiwagi felt strange that the lobby was empty.

"We're all staying in Mr. Miyazaki's office to cool off. The weather is too hot." Hanafuse Ogino wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead.

Arima Norimune nodded and walked into the lobby of Sunshine Garden, which was covered with fresh and cute stickers but had an ancient background. He pressed the old piano in the corner of the lobby and crisp music came out, but it was chaotic and disorderly, without any aesthetic appeal.

"If you break it, you pay for it."

Higashino Yu reminded him mercilessly, and Arima Norimune quickly withdrew his hand - although some pianos may not look good, the price can scare people to death.

Then he saw Dong Ye Yu's expression change again and he burst into laughter, and he smacked his lips speechlessly.

The group did not stay in the lobby for too long and went up to the second floor. They could faintly hear the sound of children singing in the corridor.
"The Curl of the Light Serpent Man"

"Well, it's the Star Parade Song!"

Arima Norimune listened to the melody, hummed it, turned around and said with a smile to Imagawa, Higashino Yu and others: "My mother sang this song to put me to sleep when I was a child."

This is an old song, but it is well-known to everyone and was even sung collectively at the Tokyo Olympics.

The author was an unknown lyricist in the early 20th century. He had almost no fame during his lifetime, but became famous after his lyrics were compiled into music.

Higashino Yu also likes this song very much. It makes people feel very warm when listening to it, although there is always a hint of sadness hidden in it.

Walk through the central lounge and arrive at the dark brown door of the dean's office.

Knock knock knock, Dong Yeyu went forward and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A kind voice came from inside, and the tone sounded very happy.

Dong Yeyu then turned the brass handle, pushed the door open, and the cool air from the air conditioner hit him in the face.

There are some changes in the layout of the dean's office.

The dean's office, which was originally decorated with some exquisite antiques, is now much simpler. Except for some necessary furniture such as desks and chairs, all other decorations are gone.

There are wild flowers in the vase on the table and sachets made of dried violets hanging on the bookshelf.

This was probably done by Yotsuba.

She is Sanye's younger sister, but compared to her sister who has Down syndrome, she is a completely normal and healthy child. She is cute, smart and likes to do handicrafts.

Many adoptive families were interested in adopting her, but gave up after hearing that she wanted to take her sister with her.

So she stayed in the orphanage.

Hearing the noise of someone coming in, the children and teachers sitting in the room subconsciously looked over.

"Onisan!"

A girl with twin ponytails and wearing a dark blue sailor junior high school uniform was stunned at first, then her eyes lit up, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she stood up and ran a few steps.

But perhaps he felt the many gazes around him, so he quickly slowed down his pace, and finally stood half a meter away from him, bowing somewhat stiffly.

"Welcome back."

Dong Yeyu noticed her reservedness and reached out to stroke her bangs that looked a bit rustic. "Yoshiye has grown up. When she was little, she would jump into my arms directly."

Yotsuba's cute little round face suddenly turned red, "Little, it's childhood, it will definitely change when you grow up."

"What a pity, Onii-san, I haven't changed at all."

Dong Yeyu smiled and took out an exquisite gift bag from his back: "Clang clang, a gift!"

Siye subconsciously reached out to take it, but before she could say anything, the big hand touched her and messed up her hair that she had carefully combed for a long time today. "Ouni-san!!!" She pouted, but saw that Dongye Yu had turned his head to greet other people, and also introduced the classmates who came back with him, including two very beautiful sisters.

Siye felt a little disappointed and lowered her head to open the gift bag.

Seeing the brand new carving knives, scissors, needles and threads and other tools needed for handicrafts, as well as some raw materials of high quality, small squares of cloth and the like, his eyes lit up again.

After delivering the gifts to everyone one by one, the atmosphere in the room became more cheerful. Higashino Yu went out and brought in some chairs for Asumi Sanae and the others to sit down.

Then they came to Dean Miyazaki, took out the envelope of their donation and handed it to him.

"This is a gift from my classmates Ming Jian. After hearing that the orphanage is having a hard time running, they insisted on donating it. I couldn't refuse. Please accept it."

Dong Yeyu said with emotion: "I am so lucky to meet such a kind-hearted classmate."

This kid.
Junpei Miyazaki had heard these words countless times, so naturally he didn't believe them. He touched the envelope and figured it out, and it was at least 600,000 or 700,000 yen.

Why so many?
The old man was stunned at the time, but with so many people around, he didn't want to be rude, so he greeted Asumi Sanae and the others with a kind smile.

Asumi saw Sanae and the others responding politely, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Junpei Miyazaki then waved to Higashino Yu to come closer and asked in a low voice.

"You didn't deceive them? What if the parents come to find you? Will it affect your studies? You will be arrested if you cheat for donations."

Dong Yeyu answered seriously: "Don't worry, we are all acquaintances, we are like brothers, and our families are all very rich. What's more, the situation of our orphanage can't be considered as a donation scam, right?"

"When did you not mention someone you know?"

"It's different this time. See? It's not the short-haired one, it's the yellow-haired one, the eldest daughter of the Mingjian family. I feel sorry for not meeting her earlier. Yes, that Mingjian."

"Ah?" Junpei Miyazaki was stunned. Why haven't I heard you mention it before?

"The one that looks like an ice cube is not simple either. She is the eldest daughter of the Jinguji family. Oh, you haven't heard of her. Her family is relatively low-key. Anyway, she is also very powerful."

Junpei Miyazaki: "It's not good to take advantage of people's feelings. Donations should come from good intentions. Otherwise, we won't feel at ease with the money."

"Don't worry, this is out of kindness, and they are all very kind people."

"So you admit that you took advantage of their feelings?"

"Friendship lasts forever, why should we be stingy with this little money?"

The old and the young gathered together and whispered things that others could not hear clearly. They really had the temperament of a family.

Junpei Miyazaki glared at him, but he felt relieved when he thought about how Higashino Yu had kidnapped a bunch of girls to the orphanage to donate money since they were young, and there had never been any problems.

But then he thought of something and spoke again.

"Zhongdao talked to me before, and mentioned that you had a good relationship with their family's Miko. I just laughed it off. Also, I reminded the people in the courtyard not to spread the news of your return, otherwise those girls you provoked when you were a child would be in trouble."

Junpei Miyazaki said this, his eyes were complicated behind his retro round glasses: "Stop it, Yu."

Dong Yeyu was silent for a second, thinking of the complicated girlish love entangled in him, and sighed: "I want it too."

"When you need to make a decision, make it now. Don't delay and waste other people's time."

Miyazaki Junpei persuaded helplessly, looked up at Asumi Sanae and others, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"I have heard from Ayu about the good deeds of all the students. Everyone in Sunshine Garden, including me, is very touched. But I still want to remind you that donating is of course a very good thing, but don't donate impulsively and remember to communicate with your family."

Is this old gentleman his elder?
Asumi Sanae glanced at Higashino Yu, and Ruri's advice came to her heart: "The Moon Witch should be ordinary in front of the ordinary, and transcend in front of the transcendent."

"I know what to do, sister, you are only ten years old, why are you nagging like a mother?"

Liuli exclaimed: "I'm sixteen years old!!!"

"Ah."

Sanae didn't argue, she just chuckled.

Then, regardless of how her sister proved her age, she imitated her sister's demeanor when she was at the ancient battlefield, bowed slightly and said softly, "These are all the money I can spend freely. It's not much, but just a token of my appreciation."

Junpei Miyazaki felt a little relieved and looked at Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami.

The girl with the legendary Kaguya-sama's temperament lowered her eyebrows and said, "It's the money I earned from work."

He looked at Imagawa Kashiwagi and Arima Norimune again, and only breathed a sigh of relief after he was basically sure that the money was all earned by himself. Then the old man remembered that Higashino Yu went to study in Tokyo and sent back nearly two million yen in a few months.

I also got first place in my grade in the exam.

I wondered in my heart, is it so easy to make money in Tokyo now?
Thinking of this, Junpei Miyazaki took out a stack of blank certificates of honor from the drawer, wrote messages on each of them with a pen, stamped them with the official seal, and then handed them to Asumi Sanae and others with both hands with great gratitude and bowed deeply.

“Everyone at Sunshine Garden is grateful!”

Afterwards, they discussed the donation plaque hanging at the door and asked Asumi Sanae and others what fonts they liked.

After dealing with the donation matters, Dong Yeyu asked the children to close the doors and windows with a serious expression and looked around at everyone present.

All those who still work in Sunshine Garden are kind-hearted and sincere people - those with bad intentions were scared away by Dongye Yu long ago, and Sunshine Garden also has a legend of a fox monster because of this.

"I hope everyone will keep the following matters confidential and it's best not to spread it out." Dong Ye Yu said in a deep voice.

Sitting back on the bench, Uncle Beidou Xingsi, a chef who has worked at Sunshine Garden for more than 30 years, poked his head out and asked, "What will happen if it gets out?"

Nan Xizi, the resident teacher at Sunshine Garden, pulled helplessly at the back of her husband's collar.

Dong Yeyu glanced at the curious crowd and grinned: "No one will believe it even if it gets out."

Everyone was confused by what was said and just wanted to ask something, but suddenly they saw Dong Yeyu's eyes suddenly brighten up with a white light brighter than the sun.

Then a strange feeling arose in everyone's heart, as if the room they were in was isolated from the outside world.

The children's eyes widened, and Beidou Xingsi opened his mouth and pointed at Dong Yeyu: "Ayu, your eyes are shining!"

Teacher Yuko and Aunt Ogino covered their mouths with their hands in surprise. Junpei Miyazaki's face was tense, and he stared at Higashino Yu, motionless.

"I know, it's okay, don't worry."

Dong Ye Yu nodded without explaining, and the next moment, a green pear appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"This is the best gift I can give you after coming back this time."
