After waiting for a while, the food was ready. Everyone gathered together to eat. The atmosphere was much better than before.

When Zhu An was looking at the children, he inadvertently talked about himself. No one expected that Zhu An was actually an orphan. Just like the children here, he had been in the welfare home for many years. He had a familiar feeling here these days.

However, the dean at that time...was not very good.

When Zhu An brought up this topic, Fang Huizhi also talked about herself. Infected by this atmosphere, Zheng Jie also talked about a lot of things.

Lu Nanyin thought about herself and wondered whether she should talk about her current identity or the world she was supposed to be in.

Besides, why did I start reminiscing about the past today?

The dean came over with a tray with teacups on it, smiling, and sat down with the four people. He chatted with them while pouring tea.

The director also talked about some things that happened in the past, where the children here came from, where they went, how long they stayed in the welfare home, and what they did...

Because Zhu An had stayed in the welfare home for a long time, he had a lot to talk about with the director and talked a lot about himself.

When the dean learned that Zhu An had suffered a lot, he held her hand and comforted her in a gentle voice. Every word he said touched Zhu An's heart, making her feel more and more favorable towards the dean.

Zheng Jie was also very emotional after hearing this. He had never seen his parents in his own world, but it was because the disease took away their lives, so he couldn't blame anyone.

Fang Huizhi's eyes were already blurred with tears. It turned out that Zhu An had such a hard time over the years. No wonder she was always so cold. It was just a way for her to protect herself.

Lu Nanyin didn't say anything, so the dean turned the topic to her and asked her about her past in various ways.

Lu Nanyin smiled bitterly, "I was supposed to live my life like this. The biggest change was probably knowing that my original destiny was not supposed to be like this. It's like you've been living an ordinary life, and then suddenly someone comes and tells you that you should live a life many times better than now. When your parents are sick, they will have money to treat them and won't die. Your little sister will grow up safely and won't have to struggle to survive in a low-quality ward with no medicine to cure her. And you shouldn't live... so hard."

When Lu Nanyin was speaking, whether they listened carefully or not, and whether they believed what others said, only they themselves knew. As for whether what they said about themselves was true or false, naturally only they themselves knew.

Everyone drank some tea, and the children finished their meal one after another. Then the dean found an excuse to leave.

The four of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold, no longer the same as before.

The children were playing in various activity areas, and the dean asked them to help and watch the children in each activity area to make sure nothing happened.

Fang Huizhi found a few naughty children in the activity area full of ocean balls, and had fun playing in the ocean balls with them, as if she was fulfilling her own unfulfilled childhood wishes.

Zhu An saw two children hiding under the slide in the activity area nearby. He teased them and chased them, and they were having fun together.

Lu Nanyin went to the yard and saw a few children talking under a tree. She went over curiously and listened to their conversation. They were arguing over who should take the kite stuck on a branch. Looking up, she saw a swallow kite stuck on the branch. Lu Nanyin planned a route to get up and asked the children to stay away while she helped take the kite down.

Zheng Jie looked at the little girls in front of him, feeling a little helpless. He coaxed them in a soft voice and let them stick stickers on themselves, braid their hair with rubber bands, and paint freely on his hands.

The dean stood in his office, watching them through the surveillance camera, with a smile on his face, and unconsciously murmured, "It's almost there, it's almost there, it will be there very soon."

……

When Lu Nanyin climbed up the tree, she turned around and saw the dean standing in his office, looking at something, but the distance was a bit far and she couldn't see clearly what the dean was doing.

The dean saw Lu Nanyin in the video looking over here, but he didn't turn around. He just took some documents from the drawer and pretended to organize them.

Lu Nanyin took the kite and while she was looking at it, the dean had already sat down, flipping through a pile of documents, and every once in a while he would write something on them with a pen.

She wanted to climb down, but thinking about the dean's matter, she threw the kite down, asked the children to pick it up, and went to play aside.

She stood on the tree, looking at the dean's office, and searched everywhere she could see. She found several cameras. This was nothing, but now, these cameras were facing the tree where she was, not the children on the other side.

Knowing that she couldn't escape for the time being, Lu Nanyin climbed down from the tree, as if she couldn't see the camera following her. She walked to the children, talked and laughed with them, and played with them.

The dean put down what he was holding, enlarged the camera screens that were filming Lu Nanyin, and looked at her carefully. The dean was also testing them with words. Now, except for Lu Nanyin's matter, which the dean didn't know, the other three knew almost everything.

As for the sufferings and life-saving stories she talked about, the dean wasn't sure whether they were true or not, so he had to test her again.

The children were tired of playing and went to rest. Finally, a few of them gathered at the door of the children's room. Their eyes were on Zheng Jie and they were smiling secretly.

Zheng Jie had all kinds of stickers on his body, and his ten fingernails were all painted in bright colors. There were also a few weird cats and dogs painted on his hands, and there were four or five crooked braids on his head.

Zhu An smiled and asked her, "Are you living the life of having a daughter in advance?"

Zheng Jie peeled off the stickers on his body and replied with a smile: "It's okay, the little girl is so cute!"

Fang Huizhi also said: "Yes, ever since they turned into normal children, things here are different, which is good."

Lu Nanyin just smiled and didn't express any opinion.

After the children fell asleep, they were bored and felt sleepy after sitting for a while, so they went back to their rooms to rest.

Zhu An said he had something to ask Lu Nanyin, so he took her to a blind spot of the surveillance camera and asked, "Do you find it strange too?"

Lu Nanyin nodded.

Zhu An asked what was in the box that the dean gave her, and took out her own box. It was also a book, but different from Lu Nanyin's. There were words on one of the pages, which were about some things about herself that she had experienced in the past.
