She's waiting for me there.

Chen Yun gently took Qingning's delicate body into his arms.

He whispered softly in her ear, "Because I want the real you."

"For a truly happy you, there are some wounds buried deep in your heart that will never fade away."

“Only when you truly accept it will it compromise and not stab you in the back one day.”

Qing Ning hugged Chen Yun tightly and said with a sob: "But, but..."

At this time, more than a dozen children ran out of the building, each holding a piece of colorful drawing paper in their hands.

After seeing Chen Yun, a woman in her 40s trotted up to him.

"Boss Chen, you're here."

When she saw Qingxue, she immediately walked over enthusiastically.

"You, you must be Qingxue who paid for the construction of the orphanage. You are much more beautiful in person than in the photo."

"Huh? Me?"

"Of course, Mr. Chen told us that this place was built by you and a little girl named Qing Ning."

Qingxue pointed at the girl in Chen Yun's arms.

"Are you talking about her?"

Qing Ning quickly wiped the tears from her face and shyly crawled out of Chen Yun's arms.

The dean smiled and said, "That's right."

Then she shouted to the dozen or so children, "Come here."

"Hello, Sister Qingxue, Sister Qingning."

The childish and cheerful voice echoed in the mountains.

At the same time, they raised the drawing paper in their hands, and each of their little faces was filled with happy smiles.

"Is this... a picture of us?"

The leader was a little boy who raised one hand high, afraid that the two sisters couldn't see it.

"Yes, Sister Qingxue."

The picture does not contain those bold colors, nor the so-called lines of those painting masters, and there are even traces of smearing in some places.

But it is such a work that makes people see its seriousness and warmth.

A castle serves as the backdrop, surrounded by blooming flowers, with a pair of sisters standing in the center.

A clear stream gurgled by, the water was light blue, and the two sisters sat by the stream looking into the distance.

There were a few white clouds floating in the sky, and a big smiling face was drawn on the golden sun, smiling at the two sisters.

......

......

Qingxue and Qingning looked carefully at each child's work.

Every time I look at a painting, I ask their names and then remember them carefully.

It's hard to describe this feeling in words.

They looked at the two sisters with fiery eyes, as if they were looking at some kind of belief.

Cheng Wenyin walked up to Chen Yun.

He whispered, "This surprise is a bit too big."

"Haha, it's not that big, they're worth it."

"Thank you."

Cheng Wenyin said this in a serious tone.

She was always thinking about how to make it up to Qing Ning.

Need money?

This option was the first one she ruled out.

In this case, the role of money is minimal.

Now Chen Yun has helped her complete this task. Although he cannot pull out the thorn right away, at least Qingning can face it.

That thank you came from the heart.

Qing Ning looked at the little boy in the lead.

He squatted down and asked softly, "What's your name?"

"Zhang Tian." The girl's eyes were fixed on her empty sleeves.

He smiled and said, "Sister Qingning, it's okay. I'm used to it. Besides, the friends here usually help me. They are all very enthusiastic, more than before..."

The little boy started talking and kept talking happily.

Qing Ning always kept a smile on her face and gently straightened the wrinkles on his collar.

Half an hour later, the dean clapped his hands and said, "Go eat first, and then play with the two sisters after dinner."

"it is good."

Led by the teacher, a group of children waved to a few people and walked towards the cafeteria.

Qingxue smiled and said, "Dean, please show us around here."

"Okay, let's go in."

Led by the dean, several people walked into the building.

When she entered the hall, Qingxue understood why everyone here knew her and Qingning.

There are several portraits hanging on the walls of the hall.

The first one is Qingxue, then Qingning, and finally Chenyun.

There are also photos of the dean and several teachers next to it.

Qingxue took Chen Yun's arm and asked, "When did you start preparing these?"

"It won't take long. These are very simple."

Listening to his nonchalant words, Qingxue hugged his arms even tighter.

This man is always like this. No matter what he has paid, he will just simply pass it by and never say how much he has paid.

But Qingxue knew how much effort this would take.

Money is one thing, but there are also various procedures and documents required to adopt these children.

If there is a loophole, it is possible that some people with ulterior motives will find an opportunity to take advantage of it and make a big fuss about it.

The dean introduced as they walked: "This is a classroom for study. Once the school next door is built, it can be converted into a library."

"This is the dormitory. There aren't many children here, so we only have these two rooms for them to rest."

Qingxue walked in and looked at the neatly arranged bedding and some cute patterns painted on the walls.

“How many children are there now?”

"Nineteen."

"Are they...all orphans?"

"Oh, yes, some of them can't find their parents, and some were abandoned in the hospital. The youngest child here is only 5 years old."

Qing Ning asked with a look of reluctance: "How are their health conditions now?"

"Don't worry, President Chen has brought all the cured children here. There are still a few receiving treatment in the hospital and they will be here in a few days."

"Oh, all right."

After looking around the building, I saw a few children coming out of the cafeteria with trays.

After greeting Chen Yun and the others, he walked towards the bathroom.

"They are..."

The dean smiled and said, "Self-reliance is the rule here. No matter what you do, you have to do it yourself."

"Like cleaning, folding quilts and doing laundry. When they are a little older, I will teach them how to cook and so on."

"There's a special vegetable patch at the back, which is usually taken care of by these children. We won't have to go out to buy vegetables soon."

Qing Ning asked in surprise, "Is it because you don't have enough money to hire someone to do this?"

"No, the money you gave is enough, but it can't be used for daily expenses."

"Only by letting them participate in everything can they have a sense of belonging and feel that this is a home."

"Besides, these kids all have low self-esteem. If we don't let them do something, they'll feel uneasy."

"This is all Mr. Chen's idea."

The dean rubbed the head of a child who ran over and looked at them with tenderness in his eyes.
