System [I am in a horror dungeon]

Chapter 228 Finding the Right Room and Making Final Preparations

Xiaoji hesitated for a long time without moving. Then a few children became dissatisfied and urged to start the next round. Xiaoji heard it and tears appeared in his eyes.

Xiaoji cursed herself in her heart for being useless. She wanted to give the red flower to the next person and start the game over again. But she wished she could be less timid and step forward to tell the story of herself and the dean clearly. But she was so scared. What if she said it wrong? What if she didn't say it well? What if they didn't like it? What if...

"She's so slow, let's start over."

There were more and more such sounds, and Xiaoji became more and more panicked. He stood there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.

Zhu An clapped his hands to quiet the other children, looked at Xiao Ji gently, and said, "Listening carefully to someone is a sign of respect for her. Be quiet and give Xiao Ji some time."

The children quieted down. Although a few of them were still dissatisfied, they remembered that the dean seemed to have said the same thing, so they stopped talking.

Xiao Ji looked at Zhu An who was speaking for him, took the red flower, slowly stood up, walked to her side and stood still, holding the red flower tightly in his hand.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "The dean is a very good person. She...she brought me here, fed me, gave me medicine, and told me stories. I have never experienced these before. My parents don't like me. They only like my older brother who was born in a normal environment, and my younger brother who will be born soon."

Xiaoji originally wanted to talk about the dean, but the topic always came back to her biological parents. She had no logic and just said whatever came to her mind.

"I have never had enough to eat. It was only here that I learned that it is okay to complain if there is not enough food, that you won't feel cold if you cover yourself with a blanket, that you can say whatever you want, and that you can play any game you want. No one will blame you. Even if you do something wrong, the dean will only care about you first. He won't care if you drop a few bowls, break a few plates, or dirty the floor."

As Xiaoji spoke, tears began to flow, but she was very happy and not so scared anymore. These were the words she had always wanted to say, but before, the dean was the only one who listened to her. Now, she could say them in front of so many people. She was pretty awesome, right?

In the next few rounds of the game, Zheng Jie went to the third floor, looking for the door that belonged to Xiaoji, the room that belonged to Xiaoji.

This smell, no, it’s not this; the style of the door, it’s not this; the exterior decoration, um… what is it, it seems not this, nor this…

Finally, Zheng Jie found two very similar doors. Except for the different decorative paintings, everything else was the same. He couldn't make up his mind, but he was also glad that the search was almost over when he came out. He looked at the door carefully and narrowed it down to two. Otherwise, the accuracy rate would be too low if he had to choose one out of twenty-five.

Just as he was going downstairs, he saw a familiar car in the yard outside. It was the dean who had returned. He hurried downstairs, stood next to Lu Nanyin, and signaled her with his eyes to look outside.

Seeing the familiar car, Lu Nanyin understood. After she put the last outline flower on Xiao Ai, the dean just opened the door.

The dean naturally knew what they had done, but the children were very happy. Even Xiaoji talked a lot in front of everyone, and she was very happy too.

In the dean's heart, children are the most important. As for these new teachers, it's up to her. If they treat the children well, she can help them appropriately. But as for those four who are not nice to the children and speak wildly, she has to deal with them.

And the one who wants to stay, since you want to stay, then... stay.

The three looked at the person following behind the dean with complicated expressions. Then the dean began to introduce her, "Children, this is Sister Xiao Fang. She will stay and play with everyone from now on."

The children all cheered and circled around Fang Huizhi. Fang Huizhi smiled back, but her smile was so stiff and fake that it was impossible to tell that it was voluntary.

The three of them looked at each other. How should they get the person to that room in this situation?

I don’t know if there will be that game again tonight. This is the last night and it should be the most difficult.

Time passed minute by minute, and the dean talked to them separately. Zhu An was the first to go. Half an hour later, when she came out, she looked a little dazed. It was unknown what the dean said to her. When Lu Nanyin asked her, she just told her to be careful.

Next Zheng Jie, looking at the clock, Lu Nanyin's anxiety grew deeper and deeper. She imagined what questions the dean would ask? Would he find out something and stop their actions? ...

Half an hour later, when Zheng Jie came out, he was in the same situation, with fear in his eyes and a dazed look. He looked at Lu Nanyin and just told her to be more careful.

Finally, Lu Nanyin went to the dean's office, a room they had tried every means to enter but failed. This was the first time they had ever entered the room.

The dean's office was very simple, with a double-door cabinet for documents against the wall and a desk next to it. The dean sat at the desk, smiled and pointed to the chair on the other side in front of him, asking Lu Nanyin to sit down and talk.

Lu Nanyin felt like she was called to the office by her head teacher for tea, and this feeling became even stronger when the dean started the conversation.

"Lu Ying, do you feel okay in the courtyard these days? It's simple here and it's really not as good as your own home. Please bear with me."

Lu Nanyin smiled and said, "How could that be? These children have gone through so much hardship, and we should let them know that there is still love in this world."

The dean's smile deepened. "Yes, no matter how these children came here, they are all children. The world of children is simple. What can they know?"

"Dean, the oldest of these children is at least 11 or 12 years old. They will soon be puberty, so they won't be ignorant of everything."

The dean restrained his smile and said, "So, what you mean is that such children are bad."

Lu Nanyin shook her head. "That's not what I meant. I think that everything that children encounter during their growth is their memory. If you just keep criticizing them, then their memory will only contain doubts and abuse. But if you keep praising them, then if they go astray in the future, they won't listen to others' corrections, which is not a good thing either. So, Dean, you should let go and let them experience and learn how to live on their own."

The dean didn't say anything, so Lu Nanyin continued, "Just like when Xiaoji got the flowers today, a few children were very dissatisfied with her behavior. If it were you, what would you do? Tell them that what they did was wrong and ask them to be quiet, or go along with them, take the flowers from Xiaoji, and start the next round?"
