Tao Yao stood in the yard of the orphanage, the sunlight shining on her body, giving her a warm halo.

Her smile was gentle and kind, and there was a loving light in her eyes.

The children around her were laughing and talking happily.

"Sister Taoyao, let's play hide and seek!"

a little boy suggested excitedly.

Tao Yao shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "Let's play something different today. How about guessing a riddle? I'll give you a question and if you guess it correctly, you'll get a reward."

The children nodded one after another, their eyes full of anticipation.

Taoyao looked around and said gently, "Okay, let's get started. The first riddle is, I have a mouth, but I can't speak; I have four legs, but I can't walk; I have a back, but I don't feel pain. Who am I? Guess a common object."

The children started discussing at once, some frowned as they thought, and some exchanged opinions with each other.

Just then, a little girl noticed Feiying standing not far away.

"Sister Taoyao," the little girl gently pulled the corner of Taoyao's clothes, "that strange red-haired sister over there seems to be looking for you?"

Tao Yao looked in the direction the little girl pointed, and her eyes met Feiying's.

She smiled and said to the little girl:

"It seems like she's here to see me. Do you want to go over and invite her to come play with you?"

The little girl nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes!"

After saying that, the little girl skipped over to Feiying, raised her head and smiled brightly:

"Red-haired sister, do you want to play with us? Sister Taoyao is giving us riddles!"

Feiying was a little surprised. She obviously didn't expect this situation...

After a brief hesitation.

She nodded and agreed.

"it is good……"

The little girl took Feiying's hand and brought her to Taoyao and the other children.

Taoyao smiled and nodded to Feiying, "Welcome to join us. Since you are here, I just gave you a riddle. Would you like to guess it?"

Feiying nodded and listened carefully to Taoyao repeating the riddle.

She thought for a moment, then tentatively replied, "Is it the chair?"

Taoyao smiled and clapped: "Correct! It seems that our new friend is very smart."

The children clapped along.

"Red-haired sister is so awesome!"

Then, Taoyao continued to ask questions:

"Then, the next riddle: I have teeth but I can't bite, I have feet but I can't walk, and people often grab my hair. Who am I?"

This time, a little boy answered first: "I know! It's a comb!"

"Nonsense, this is obviously a brush!"

"No, no, this should be more like a toothbrush, right?"

Several children began to argue.

Seeing this scene, Tao Yao interrupted with a smile:

"Well, there are many answers, and you are all very smart. You answered them all correctly."

She took out a few small candies from her pocket and handed them to the children who answered correctly.

The game continued, and Taoyao kept coming up with various interesting riddles.

The children and Feiying all participated enthusiastically.

Sometimes the children answered first, and sometimes it was Feiying who gave the correct answer.

Every time someone answers correctly, Taoyao will give some small rewards to make the game more interesting.

"The next riddle is a bit difficult." Tao Yao looked at everyone with a smile, "I have traveled thousands of miles, but I always stay in the same place. So... who am I?"

The children all frowned and talked about it.

Especially Feiying, she was also lost in deep thought.

do not know why.

She always felt that Tao Yao was hinting at something.

But she couldn't tell what it was exactly...

Just then, a little girl timidly raised her hand:

"Sister Taoyao, is the answer the map? The map shows all kinds of places in the world, but the map itself has never been anywhere."

Tao Yao squatted down and hugged the little girl gently, "You are so smart, you got it right!"

The game continued with laughter and joy.

Taoyao looked at Feiying from time to time and found that she was also completely immersed in the game, with a happy smile on her face.

At this moment, the director of the orphanage came out and shouted:

"Children, it's time for dinner!"

When the children heard the news of dinner, they cheered excitedly.

Taoyao smiled and turned to the maid beside her, Xiluo: "Xiluo, please take the children over."

Shiloh nodded in response and began to lead the children towards the dining room.

The children said goodbye to Taoyao reluctantly.

Some even looked back several times.

Soon, Taoyao and Feiying were the only ones left in the yard.

The sun is still warm, and the breeze blows gently, bringing a faint scent of flowers.

The two stood facing each other, and no one spoke for a while.

Tao Yao looked at Feiying with a smile, a faint light flickering in her eyes.

She seemed to be waiting for Feiying to speak first, or maybe she was just enjoying this moment of tranquility.

Feiying seemed a little embarrassed.

Her eyes moved between Taoyao and the surrounding environment, as if she was organizing her words.

She opened her mouth, but closed it again, as if she had a lot to say but didn't know where to start.

Feiying took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to break the silence.

Her voice was trembling, but she looked at Tao Yao firmly: "I...I have a lot of questions to ask you."

Tao Yao smiled gently, with understanding and tolerance shining in her eyes.

"Sure." She said softly, "I'm happy to answer questions from beautiful girls. Ask whatever you want. I can answer you as long as I know the answer."

Her tone was gentle and kind, as if she was soothing a frightened animal.

Taoyao's voice was like a spring breeze, gently caressing Feiying's nervous heartstrings.

Feiying was infected by Taoyao's attitude, and her tense shoulders relaxed a little.

However, her heart was still full of doubts and anxieties.

She lowered her head and her eyes fell on the grass at her feet, as if looking for courage there.

Silence fell upon the two again.

The only sound in the yard was the rustling of leaves in the breeze and the vague laughter of children in the distance.

Feiying's fingers twisted together unconsciously, her thoughts were like a small boat in a storm, drifting in various problems.

Finally, after a long silence, Feiying raised her head and looked directly into Taoyao's eyes.

Although her voice was low, it was full of determination:

"Who are you anyway? What do you want to do?"

This question is like a stone, falling heavily into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Tao Yao's smile was still gentle, but there was an elusive light in her eyes.

She shook her head slightly, with a hint of mischief in her tone:

"You should have known my identity from your companions, right? I am Tao Yao, the fairy apostle and a member of the apostle cult. I am carrying out fairy-related activities in order to awaken the sleeping fairies."

Having said that.

She paused, a sly light flashed in her eyes, and continued:

"As for whether I have any other unknown purpose... the answer is yes. However, this is a girl's secret! I don't want you to know."

"Most importantly, I like the way you remain curious about me."

"Of course, if you are willing to help me do one thing, I would be happy to share a secret with you, a girl's secret."
