"oops!"

The staff members who were standing by immediately rushed over nervously.

The light shone directly into his eyes, and Lu Shengyan looked up to shield his face.

"very scary!"

"Devil, he is a devil!"

"I want my mommy~ Waaah~ I want to go home..."

The children around Lu Shengyan burst into tears the moment they saw him.

Within seconds, the peaceful nursing home was filled with a burst of crying.

Lu Shengyan quickly lowered his head and closed his eyes to avoid exposing his flaws.

"Grandpa Lu, let Mengmeng take you away from here first." Mengmeng picked up the glasses from the ground, handed them to Lu Shengyan, and then pushed his wheelchair back the way they came.

Like the other children, Fatty showed fear and dared not follow Lu Shengyan any longer. He turned around and ran towards Teacher Yue Liang.

"He's blind!" Sweetie looked at Mengmeng, who was busy running around, with disdain.

Of the four-person team, only Mengmeng and Tangtang remained by Lu Shengyan's side.

The dean learned of the situation and rushed over.

Seeing that Lu Shengyan no longer wore his usual glasses, she stepped forward apologetically, "Mr. Lu, I'm so sorry. You see, my good intention was to have these children keep you company, but I didn't expect this to happen."

Mengmeng and Tangtang stared blankly at the dean.

Lu Shengyan opened his eyes and waved his hand calmly, "It's nothing. Dean, there's no need to feel sorry."

"I have arranged for the nursing home staff to bring over new sunglasses as soon as possible," the director said with a somber expression.

The nursing home has always received care from Lu Shengyan, especially in terms of finances. He regularly sends money to the nursing home to cover its normal expenses and to help some elderly people who are unable to care for themselves.

Given this situation, the director feels more than just apologetic; he is also worried that Lu Shengyan will stop funding the nursing home.

Touching his hands and his damaged eyes, Lu Shengyan said, "It's bad, but the children were frightened by my appearance."

After saying that, he gave a self-deprecating laugh.

It's true he has no eyeballs, and his appearance is indeed frightening. Because of his status, the people he interacts with daily, eager to curry favor with him, all lied and praised his defect as handsome and cool. It was these children who saw him reveal his true, human appearance.

However, the two children beside him were quite surprising. They weren't afraid of him at all and even pushed him away immediately.

"What are your names?" Lu Shengyan asked curiously.

The dean's anxiety subsided when he saw Lu Shengyan asking about the children around him.

"These two children are really good. They reacted quickly and deserve praise."

Tangtang listened to the dean's words, took a step forward, and cautiously asked, "Can we get a little red flower?"

"Pfft~" The dean chuckled, "You're such a cute kid!"

With her hair being stroked, Tangtang didn't get an answer, so she looked at Lu Shengyan again and asked, "Grandpa Lu, will you give us little red flowers?"

Mengmeng also looked on with anticipation.

Although they didn't do anything, the dean praised them, so they should receive the little red flower that Teacher Moon mentioned.

Lu Shengyan took out the small red flowers that the nursing home had distributed to the elderly people in advance from his pocket.

"You two, come here."

Drawn to the little red flower, Mengmeng and Tangtang walked forward hand in hand.

"Take it yourself," Lu Shengyan said, spreading his hands.

Mengmeng and Tangtang looked delighted and reached out to each take a small red flower from it.

Feeling the weight lessen in his hands, Lu Shengyan clasped his hands together and silently counted the remaining little red flowers in his palms.

Only two were taken?

What an interesting child.

Faced with temptation, both children and adults mostly reveal their true nature. They could have taken more, or even all of them, but they didn't; they simply took one flower.

Lu Shengyan couldn't help but ask, "Why did you only take one?"

"Hmm?" Mengmeng asked in confusion. "Uncle Lu, we made you happy once, so we can only get one little red flower. But we will make you happier and happier in the future, and you can get all the little red flowers you have."

"Such a boastful tone, but I like it." Lu Shengyan reached out his hand, wanting to stroke Mengmeng, but because he couldn't see her, his outstretched hand could only hang in the air.

Mengmeng realized this and proactively moved her head towards his palm.

Feeling the soft strands of the child's hair against his skin, a smile involuntarily spread across his face. "Why don't you call me Grandpa anymore?"

“Uncle Lu isn’t old at all,” Mengmeng replied earnestly.

They initially called him Grandpa Lu because the staff at the nursing home taught them to call him that. Now, seeing Lu Shengyan without his glasses, Mengmeng feels they shouldn't call him Grandpa anymore.

"Haha~" Lu Shengyan laughed, tilting his head back. "Do I look young?"

"Yes, Uncle Lu looks about the same age as my dad. So he's my uncle, not my grandpa."

"Her little mouth is as sweet as honey."

Lu Shengyan really wanted to see what Mengmeng in front of him looked like; her little mouth was so sweet.

"Uncle Lu, did your eyes become like this because of an injury?" Mengmeng stared at Lu Shengyan's face.

The previously lively atmosphere instantly became tense because of those words.

The dean reached out and pulled Mengmeng along, quickly apologizing to Lu Shengyan, "Mr. Lu, I'm so sorry. The child was just curious and didn't know what she should or shouldn't say."

Lu Shengyan waved his hand, not minding at all, "Dean, I don't have anything to do here. You have a lot to do, so you don't need to stay here all the time."

"Well..." The dean was a little worried.

Children come up with all sorts of ideas, and if they anger Lu Shengyan, the nursing home will be the one to suffer.

"Dean, don't worry, I'm fine here." Lu Shengyan issued the expulsion order again.

Despite his unease, the dean followed Lu Shengyan's advice and left.

"Uncle Lu, don't be angry. Mengmeng just wants to know why you were injured and see if she can heal your eyes."

"Cure my eyes?"

Lu Shengyan burst out laughing.

He had the world's best doctors, yet they couldn't cure his eyes. And you expect a three- or four-year-old child to become a normal person?

However, he wasn't surprised to hear this from a child, since children's thoughts are often wildly imaginative. They lack logic and simply say whatever comes to mind.

“Uncle Lu, Mengmeng is amazing. She really can help you cure your eyes,” Tangtang said, vouching for Mengmeng.

One child's idea is boundless, but the fact that both children are so certain aroused Lu Shengyan's curiosity.
