Qin Jiu lowered his brows, thought for a moment, smiled and thanked Xiao Qing, then walked straight to the stairs.

She is going to find Beibei.

Beibei sat in the corner, tapping the sand castle in front of her with a sand shovel to make it more solid, and then began to carve the windows in the castle.

When Qin Jiu came to the sand pool, the children looked at her with curiosity. It seemed that they had never seen this older sister before.

It was not uncommon for strangers to come to the orphanage, but they had never seen such a young adoptee, so they all sat together and talked in low voices.

These children have only come to Xirang Orphanage in the past six months. The older ones who know Qin Jiu do not play in the sand pool.

Beibei seemed not to notice anything unusual around her. She was focused on her own world and building her own fortress.

Qin Jiu stepped on the soft sand, leaving one footprint after another, and walked out a route leading directly to Beibei.

The shadow of an adult loomed over the sand castle. Beibei then looked up at Qin Jiu with some awareness.

When she saw Qin Jiu, she was not as confused as other children. Instead, she called out crisply, "Sister Xiaojiu."

Qin Jiu raised her eyelids slightly. She was very sure that she had never seen Beibei before. Beibei was definitely a newcomer in the past six months.

They first met last night.

However, all the new children who saw her last night didn't remember her, but Beibei could call out her name accurately.

Beibei is different from other children!

Qin Jiu squatted down beside her and asked softly, "Beibei, do you know my sister?"

Beibei blinked her big eyes and asked instead of answering, "Didn't we meet last night? Is Sister Xiaojiu's memory worse than Beibei's?"

Sure enough, Beibei was the only child who had any memory of last night.

Qin Jiu: "Yes, my sister is old and her memory is not as good as Beibei's. Beibei, do you still remember when and where we met?"

Beibei put down the shovel in her hand and said seriously: "We met once when we were having dinner, and then... I think we met when Beibei was sleepwalking!"

Qin Jiu was surprised: "Beibei can sleepwalk?"

Beibei nodded: "It was the dean who said that Beibei would sleepwalk. But Beibei thinks that Beibei is not sleepwalking! They don't believe me!"

Qin Jiu was silent. Maybe Beibei was not sleepwalking, but her body was controlled by some powerful external force.

Qin Jiu's eyes fell on the teddy bear next to Beibei. She asked, "Beibei, can you lend me the teddy bear?"

Although no one wants to play with Beibei, she is actually a child who is very willing to share.

She picked up the teddy bear with her chubby little hands and handed it to Qin Jiu.

"Let the little bear play with sister!"

Qin Jiu took the teddy bear with a smile and looked at it carefully.

The teddy bear she was holding now looked much more normal compared to the hideous teddy bear she saw last night with half of its head missing.

She stared at the two pitch-black eyes of the teddy bear. They were just two ordinary decorative beads, and Qin Jiu did not notice anything unusual.

The strong gaze from yesterday didn't seem to come from there.

Wasn’t the teddy bear she was holding yesterday the one she was holding in her hand?

Qin Jiu asked: "Beibei, can you tell me where you got this little bear?"

Beibei: "The dean gave it to me. After I came here, she was afraid that I would be lonely, so she gave me a little bear to play with."

Qin Jiu returned the teddy bear to Beibei without changing his expression: "Then Beibei, you must protect it well."

Beibei nodded.

Qin Jiu was about to get up and leave, but Beibei said behind her: "Sister Xiaojiu, can you ask the teacher not to teach me?"

Qin Jiu's intuition told her that the class Beibei was talking about might be different from what she imagined.

Qin Jiu approached Beibei again and asked in a low voice: "Why doesn't Beibei like class?"

Beibei said: "Because it hurts to go to class."

Qin Jiu's eyes became sharp. She was about to ask more questions when Dean Lu came out of the building. Seeing Qin Jiu in the sand pool, Dean Lu walked straight towards her.

Dean Lu: "Xiaojiu, why are you here?"

Qin Jiu knew that now was not a good time to ask further questions, so he had to give up.

She stood up and looked at Dean Lu with a smile: "I haven't been back for a long time. There are many more children in the hospital."

Dean Lu's eyes changed subtly, but she covered it up and said, "Yes, there is nothing we can do. I heard that the beast tides in various places have been serious recently, and many villages and cities have been razed to the ground. These are all poor children. They were all sent here about a month after you started school."

Qin Jiu showed pity on her face as she looked at these children who originally had happy families. She couldn't imagine what they had been through.

Dean Lu: "Fortunately, there are many caring people willing to adopt them. I hope they can get over their pain as soon as possible and have their own home again."

Qin Jiu nodded, and Dean Lu turned around to see the man off.

Qin Jiu found that he now knew very little about the situation in the orphanage. After the last experience, Qin Jiu did not dare to leave the room rashly at night and spent half a month in peace.

During this half month, the children did not act as strange as when they first met.

It was lively when everyone gathered together for dinner in the evening, and everyone was still playing around until bedtime, which was no different from the orphanage Qin Jiu remembered.

The strange situation encountered on the first night was like a distorted memory of Qin Jiu. If Qin Jiu had not still maintained her suspicion of Dean Lu, she would even think that she had remembered the nightmare and reality as one.

After she had been there for half a month, she received an invitation from Lilith.

Lilith was the royal family of Xirang Star and lived in the center of the main city. The orphanage was also in the main city. In fact, the distance between the two was not far. It only took half an hour to get there by suspension train.

Qin Jiu couldn't help laughing when she saw that Lilith sent her a long list of boring emoticons and photos of Qiuqiu being picky about food, and decided to accept the invitation.

She told Dean Lu that she planned to stay in the royal family for a few days. Dean Lu did not show any objection and she also encouraged Qin Jiu to play with friends more.

Qin Jiu knew clearly that Dean Lu was so confident because she was always monitoring her terminal, and Dean Lu would be the first to know where she went.

Qin Jiu talked to Guangming about the direction of the destination and asked Guangming to set off first. Guangming flapped his wings and left.

Qin Jiu watched Guangming's small figure disappear into the skyline. She had no doubt that Guangming would arrive before her.

Except for the inconvenience of its eyes, Guangming is better than ordinary war beasts in every way.

Lilith told Qin Jiu that he just needed to wait at the gate of Xirang Orphanage and she would send someone to pick him up.

Qin Jiu stood at the gate of Xirang Orphanage. A luxurious-looking suspended train slowly descended and stopped in front of Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu didn't know if it was this train. But when she saw the long red carpet rolling out of the train and the butlers in uniform appearing, she instantly confirmed that it was this one.

The royal style - exaggerated!
