Quick Wear: Oh no, the lady is running away with the ball again

Yun Qian quietly walked into the orphanage, gently closing the door behind her. She looked around. Everything here felt unfamiliar, yet somehow familiar and warm. Sunlight streamed in through the windows, illuminating the neatly arranged children's toys. The air was filled with the aroma of time. This once lonely haven now seemed to hold even more stories.

She took a deep breath, walked lightly to the front desk, and greeted the receptionist with a smile: "Hello, I used to stay here, and I wanted to come and see what things are like here today."

The receptionist looked at her and seemed a little surprised, but nodded. "I see. Who are you looking for?"

Yun Qian had already made preparations and said casually, "I heard there's a child here named Yun Nongying. I haven't visited her for a long time."

The receptionist was stunned for a moment, then a little confused. "Yun Nongying? She... is one of our children. But she's become very quiet lately and doesn't interact much with other children. Are you... sure it's her?"

Yun Qian's heart trembled slightly, and he nodded gently: "Yes, I know her."

The receptionist seemed to be moved by Yun Qian's gentle and mature temperament. She relaxed her guard slightly and nodded: "Okay, please follow me."

She led Yun Qian into a room deep within the courtyard. After pushing open the door, Yun Qian's gaze fell on a girl sitting in the corner. She was wearing a simple school uniform, her head lowered, her gaze somewhat unfocused, as if she didn't want to be disturbed. Her skin was fair, her hair long, yet her eyes held a coldness and isolation, as if she had long since grown accustomed to solitude.

"Yun Nongying, how have you been lately?"

"Do I...know you?"

The fair-faced girl with two braids looked up at the strange woman in confusion.

Yun Qian chuckled, sat down across from her, and said slowly, "I used to live here too. Although it was only for a short time, I remember every corner of it. How are you doing here?"

Yun Nongying was silent for a moment, lowered his head, and unconsciously scratched the table with his fingertips. "It's okay. Most of the time, I stayed in my room. The other children were taken away one by one. As for the rest... there's nothing much to say."

A small table separated the two of them, upon which lay a few simple picture books, paper, and pens. Initially, the atmosphere was somewhat silent. Yun Nongying lowered his head, concentrating on playing with the toys in his hands, occasionally glancing at Yun Qian with a look of curiosity and vigilance.

"Do you like painting very much?" Yun Qian broke the silence and asked softly.

Yun Nongying was stunned for a moment, then looked up at her, a flicker of surprise in her eyes, as if she hadn't expected someone to bring up this topic. She nodded and said softly, "Well, when I was a kid, there was an auntie here who taught us how to draw. Although they were just simple drawings, I found them very interesting."

Yun Qian smiled faintly, feeling indescribably moved. She couldn't help but think of her own childhood. In those years, she, too, had longed for understanding and attention, but her world was different from Yun Nongying's. Yun Qian's life was filled with love and family, while Yun Nongying had been abandoned in this lonely land since childhood.

"I remember I also liked painting when I was a child," Yun Qian said softly, "but later on, I found that I liked performing more. I think everyone has their own talents and passions. Although you look quiet now, I believe that you must have many beautiful things hidden in your heart."

Yun Nongying was slightly stunned, a flicker of indescribable emotion in her eyes. She lowered her head silently, as if pondering Yun Qian's words.

Seeing her silence, Yun Qian stopped talking. She gently reached out, picked up a pencil from the table, and sketched a simple flower on the paper. Yun Nongying's gaze involuntarily fell on the paper, and her eyes softened. She had never seen anyone draw so quietly for her, nor had she ever seen anyone so concerned about her world.

Yun Qian looked at her and smiled. "You know what? Sometimes, the most beautiful things are not necessarily what we see, but what we yearn for in our hearts. Everyone has a garden of their own in their heart, or a blank canvas to fill with everything you want."

Yun Nongying was silent for a moment, then finally spoke in a low voice: "Are you saying that I can also have something that belongs to me like others?"

Yun Qian nodded, her eyes softening. "Of course. You just need to believe in yourself and don't be afraid of what others think of you. You are much stronger than you think."

These words seemed to strike a chord deep within Yun Nongying. She gently raised her head and looked into Yun Qian's eyes, her gaze gradually brightening. She whispered, "I've always felt so lonely. Although there are many children around me, they all have their own families, and I never have. Just like you said, my world has always been lonely."

Yun Qian nodded gently. She understood Yun Nongying's feelings at the moment. She looked at the little girl, her eyes filled with tenderness and pity. "I understand how you feel. Loneliness is terrifying, but it doesn't have to last forever. You will definitely meet someone who understands you, who truly sees you, and who will lead you out of this lonely world."

Yun Nongying's eyes began to waver, as if she had never thought she would have a chance to be understood. She took a deep breath, as if she couldn't believe it. "Are you telling the truth?"

Yun Qian smiled slightly, reached out and gently patted Yun Nongying's shoulder: "Of course. You just haven't met the right person yet. You and I are both worthy of being loved."

Yun Qian asked softly, "Do you want to go out and see the world outside?"

Yun Nongying lowered her head, her eyes a bit lost, as if she were hesitating. Her fingers gently stroked the paintbrush on the table. She was silent for a long moment, then slowly raised her head, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes. "I... I want to go, but I'm a little scared. The aunties here always say you can't go far... On weekdays, besides going to school, I can only stay here."

Yun Qian smiled slightly, her eyes gentle: "What are you afraid of? If you don't dare to go, let's stay here. I won't force you. But I think you should see the outside world and see the things you have never seen before."

Yun Nongying lowered her head again. She seemed eager to go, but her inner fear kept her from taking the next step. Her life had always been confined to this orphanage, her world never expanding much. Whenever she tried to reach out to the outside world, she always felt restricted.

Yun Qian noticed her hesitation and spoke in a gentler tone:
