However, some have eccentric personalities and don't like living with children. But the majority are elderly retirees.

The school is collaborating with the nursing home, and the nursing home is very cooperative. As early as yesterday, we had already made all the necessary preparations according to the school's instructions.

"Welcome, lovely students, to the nursing home to visit and comfort us elderly folks. Today, four students will be responsible for caring for one elderly person. Each elderly person will reward our children with a little red flower for each activity throughout the day. Now, Teacher Yue Liang will announce the list." After finishing her speech, the director handed the list to Teacher Yue Liang, who was holding it.

Many of the elderly people in the nursing home are in wheelchairs, which contrasts sharply with the young children next to them.

Mengmeng watched as one of the elderly people, wearing sunglasses, stood alone on one side, not interacting with the others.

For some reason, after taking a few more glances, she felt that the old man wearing sunglasses in front of her was familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

"Mengmeng, it seems we're in charge of that old man," Tangtang said uncertainly.

Looking over, Mengmeng looked surprised.

The elderly man she had been observing was the one they were supposed to take care of today.

Led by the staff of the nursing home, Mengmeng and her group came to an elderly man wearing sunglasses and sitting in a wheelchair.

"This is Grandpa Lu. You must listen to Grandpa Lu and not be naughty." The staff member turned to introduce the children in front of Lu Shengyan, "Grandpa Lu, these four are Mengmeng, Tangtang, Tiantian, and Pangpang. If anything happens, you can contact us anytime."

"Hmm." Lu Shengyan nodded, without much enthusiasm.

The staff weren't surprised by his reaction. They turned around, patted the children on the head, and said with a smile, "You guys have to do your best today!"

"We will!"

"Yes, we want to get lots of little red flowers."

"Yes, yes."

Apart from Sweetie, the other three responded very excitedly.

After giving the instructions, the staff left with peace of mind.

Mengmeng, Tangtang, and Pangpang all looked at Lu Shengyan. Pangpang took the lead and walked forward, stopping behind Lu Shengyan's wheelchair.

"Grandpa Lu, where are we going now?"

"back yard."

Hearing Lu Shengyan's response, Mengmeng and Tangtang couldn't help but look at Pangpang with new respect.

Knowing that he was on the same team as them, they were worried that he would cause trouble and hold them back, but they didn't expect him to be so useful at the crucial moment.

Fatty pushed the wheelchair, while Mengmeng and Tangtang stood on either side of it.

To get from the front yard to the back garden, you need to go through a path paved with stones. The wheelchair became unsteady on it, unlike walking smoothly on a flat road.

"Ouch~"

Before they had even pushed the cart a short distance, Fatty started shouting.

Lu Shengyan reached out and pressed the button on the armrest next to him, and the wheelchair started moving on its own.

"Grandpa Lu, your wheelchair is automatic, why didn't you start it just now?" Fatty asked in dissatisfaction.

He was a large, chubby man. Just walking a short distance would make him sweat profusely, let alone pushing his wheelchair forward.

Looking at the chubby guy, who was covered in sweat and looked angry, Mengmeng found him rather cute.

"Mengmeng, what are you laughing at?" Fatty turned around, staring at Mengmeng with a dark face.

Her smile froze instantly, and she explained with an embarrassed look, "I wasn't making fun of you, I just thought you were cute."

"Hmph, only girls are cute, I'm not a girl." Fatty said angrily and walked away.

Judging by his voice, Lu Shengyan, who had been silent all along, spoke up and teased, "You're not that old, but you have quite a temper."

"Grandpa Lu, are you thirsty?" Mengmeng asked carefully.

It's been a long time since they entered the nursing home. They've just been under the sun, being bathed in sunlight.

Following the sound, Lu Shengyan moved his face, his perked-up ears tilting towards Mengmeng's direction.

Such a familiar voice!

"Tangtang, Sweetie, let's take Grandpa Lu to the back garden as soon as possible." Receiving no response, Mengmeng spoke to the two people beside her.

"Okay," Tangtang replied cooperatively.

In contrast, Sweetie didn't respond, her eyes darting around.

Doesn't Sweetie like this kind of activity?

Mengmeng looked at Tiantian with a puzzled expression.

Sweetie noticed the intense gaze and turned her head to see Mengmeng staring intently at her.

Hmph, always acting like a sycophant wherever he goes!

Sweetie rolled her eyes and strode forward.

Upon arriving at the back garden, we found several teams already there.

Mengmeng watched as the others massaged the legs and shoulders of the elderly people they were responsible for. Some even performed for the seniors, making them laugh heartily. Looking down at their side, Pangpang was still angry, sitting on the ground playing with his Transformers toys, while Tiantian's gaze remained unfocused, looking around everywhere.

Will they get the most red flowers today?

Mengmeng's gaze fell on Lu Shengyan, who was unwilling to communicate with them, and the last bit of hope in her heart vanished.

"Grandpa Lu, there's no sun here anymore, would you like to take off your sunglasses?" Mengmeng asked.

Lu Shengyan touched his glasses and shook his head aloofly.

When she asked questions, there was always no response, and Mengmeng didn't know what to do.

Similarly, they never sensed that Tangtang liked them, and they didn't dare to go up and ask Lu Shengyan.

"Grandpa Lu, are you unhappy?" Mengmeng asked, forcing herself to speak.

I hope what I just said wasn't offensive? After all, their purpose in coming here is to help the elderly people in the nursing home.

With these thoughts in mind, Mengmeng's gaze hardened.

Lu Shengyan placed his hands, which were on the armrest of his wheelchair, on his lap.

He doesn't live in the nursing home; he comes to stay for a day or two every now and then. He happened to come yesterday, and today the orphanage had an activity in conjunction with the school. He didn't want to participate, but the nursing home director begged him. When the school bus arrived at the nursing home gate, looking at the chattering children, he only felt noise and regretted agreeing to the director's request.

Now that the children in front of him are constantly asking him if he has any needs, he can't just ignore and refuse their kindness.

Just as he was thinking about how to end all of this, a gust of wind suddenly rushed towards him from the front.

"Be careful~"

Tangtang and Mengmeng spoke almost at the same time.

The ball spun rapidly through the air, heading straight towards Lu Shengyan.

Tangtang was frozen in shock, but Mengmeng, who was on the side, reacted quickly. Tangtang immediately pushed Mengmeng away and then went to pull Lu Shengyan's wheelchair.

Unfortunately, she wasn't strong enough, and the wheelchair wasn't spinning fast enough. The ball hit Lu Shengyan's glasses frame squarely, causing the glasses to break and fall to the ground.
