It must be said that Gu Min accidentally touched upon the truth of the matter. That night, he leaned on the girl's shoulder, crying silently... The girl patiently coaxed him, calming him down, and slowly fell asleep again...

When she walked out of the room, her eyes were filled with emotions that no one else could understand. The boy had just asked for her promise, which made her feel extremely insecure... She couldn't help but feel a little worried...

After so many years, she thought that his pain had been mostly healed, but she didn't expect that in the middle of the night, it was the same as before...

However, although tears cannot solve the problem, they are enough to vent emotions. After Gu Min cried bitterly late at night, his torn heart was mended again. The next day, he woke up late, which was rare. When he walked out of the room, facing the concerned eyes of the three people, he smiled without any force this time...

Mu Qingnian sat at the table and warmly invited him to have breakfast, as if what happened last night had never happened. Gu Min knew everyone's good intentions and relaxed.

Everyone at the table was talking about holiday arrangements. Since Gu Min came here, the family of four would always have a family trip every summer vacation. If the two adults could take time off, they would go to a farther city. If they couldn't take time off, they would take advantage of the weekend to take a walk around the area. This time, after all, it was a graduation trip after the high school entrance examination. Mu Fengting and Lin Wanru also wanted to plan it well to let the two children relax. It's just that their companies are busy this year, and they are afraid that they can't take time off, so they plan to find a few more places to visit nearby.

Unexpectedly, after the two made this suggestion, Gu Min, who had been eating silently, put down his chopsticks and said, "Uncle, aunt, you don't have to take a special leave. You can take Nian Nian and play around nearby. This holiday, I...I want to volunteer at the welfare home we have been supporting."

Mu Qingnian paused while eating. She had some guesses about his decision, but after just a few seconds, she quickly responded, "I'll go too."

Gu Min turned around and looked at her, with some disapproval on his face, "Niannian, you finally made it through the third year of junior high school, relax a little, you don't have to..."

"Brother, you don't have to persuade me. Even if you don't say it, I still want to do my best. Don't forget, it was your sister who started the sponsorship. Although we go there once every year before the Chinese New Year, I am also very happy to spend more time with those children."

Gu Min raised his lips slightly, "Okay, then we'll go together."

Gu Min did not go there on a whim. When he first went to the orphanage, he was somewhat reluctant because he had been turned away before, which made him unable to trust the orphanage... But after the first visit, he realized that this orphanage was worth it... The children here can truly enjoy their childhood. The joy and innocence on their faces seem to be no different from those children with both parents. The staff inside are gentle and kind, and they are people who really care about the children...

And in the painful dream last night, the children who passed away one by one beside him... made him eager to do something... No matter if it was just a dream, or a so-called past life or parallel world, he wanted to do his best to prevent the children from living like them...

Lin Wanru and Mu Fengting looked at each other, and at the same time recalled the boy's strange behavior last night, but they did not expose the two children's thoughts. "Okay, then we will contact you. Don't be too tired, just do what you can, okay?"

"understood."

--------------

Two days later, the two children dressed in volunteer uniforms came to the welfare home that they had visited many times. Because their family's sponsorship had lasted for seven years, the welfare home staff had known them for a long time. The two children were good-looking and kind, and the staff liked them very much. When they heard that the two were coming to volunteer, they waited at the door early to greet them.

"Aunt Zhou, we're here!" Mu Qingnian's sweet voice had already reached the door before she arrived. The director of the welfare home was a middle-aged woman in her forties, surnamed Zhou. She took two steps forward with a smile on her face and hugged the girl who was walking quickly towards her. "Oh, Qingnian and Xiaomin are finally here! Welcome, welcome!"

The young man who was following beside her also smiled and called out, "Auntie Zhou."

"Hey, hey, after not seeing you for a year, I feel like Xiao Min has grown taller and has become a big boy. Is your schoolwork still so good recently? How did you two do in the high school entrance examination?"

Mu Qingnian looked back at Gu Min, his eyes helpless, conveying an obvious meaning. Sure enough, no matter when, he would be asked about his studies...

Gu Min smiled and politely changed the subject, "Aunt Zhou, the high school entrance exam results haven't come out yet. What do you think you'll arrange for us to do today?"

"Oh, it's great that you're here. It will be time for the children to get up and have breakfast soon. How about you go and get them food first?"

The two immediately responded, "No problem."

So Mu Qingnian and Gu Min came to the kitchen, put on gloves, and started preparing breakfast for the children. They carefully followed the instructions of the staff, busy and orderly.

Soon, a steaming hot breakfast was ready, and the children began to come to the cafeteria one after another. The children here were very well-educated, and they were a little excited to see the beautiful brothers and sisters coming today, revealing innocent smiles.

"Hello, brothers and sisters!" the children said in unison.

Mu Qingnian and Gu Min responded with a smile, put the plates on the table, and began to distribute food to the children. They were both children themselves, but when they saw these children eating with gusto, they unconsciously revealed a touch of satisfaction beyond their age...

Happiness is contagious. It spreads from the children's eyes to the hearts of the two, stirring up an indescribable sense of satisfaction...
