Xu You looked at the slightly depressed side face of Nanbei and pursed his lips and smiled.

She knew that Nanbei was concerned about him, but she probably wouldn't tell him some things about them in her life.

They control the current relationship.

People always need to keep some distance between people, and if they cross that line, it will be difficult to end.

It was like she told Nanbei about her own situation. What else could Nanbei do besides comforting her and worrying with her?

………………………………………

Children in orphanages always look forward to someone coming to the orphanage to see them.

Because as long as someone comes, it means that someone may be very lucky to be found by their parents and taken home, or adopted by kind-hearted people. At the worst, kind-hearted people come to see them and give them delicious food, or toys and other things.

So when Nanbei and Ye Weiyin arrived at the orphanage, they felt the warm welcome from the children.

The last time the children were shy and unable to let go when they came with Xu You, but this time they were much more enthusiastic than the last time.

"Brother Nanbei! Sister Xu You!"

"Hey, so good. Brothers and sisters have brought you a storybook this time. Let's go and see if you like it!"

"You play with them for a while, and I'll go in and see the dean's mother first."

"Okay, don't worry."

Xu You greeted Nanbei and took the medicine he brought to the dean's mother and walked inside.

In front of the orphanage is where the children are active, and behind is where the dean’s mother and they live. She has lived here all the time when she was a child.

Xu You first went to the room where the dean's mother lived. It has been as simple as ever for decades, and there is nothing else except daily necessities. The dean's mother devoted her whole life to them and these children.

Xu You put down the medicine in his hand, and saw that there was no one in the room, he changed direction and went to the dean's mother's office.

It is called an office, but it is actually a small house. When someone comes to the orphanage to discuss adoption or donation, he will be in this small house. Although it is a little smaller, everything about the orphanage is in this small house.

Xu You knocked on the door when he entered, but no one responded. Xu You simply pushed the door and walked in. He thought there should be no one here, but he didn't expect that the dean's mother was here. But she seemed to be looking at something and was a little too focused. Xu You had already walked in, but she still had no reaction at all.

Xu You walked over and knocked on the table, and the dean's mother came to her senses.

"Yuyou...when will you come back? It's time to rest on the weekend."

"Well, rest, I just happened to bring you some medicine. The friend who came with me last time brought some story books to the children."

"Oh, you, you're hungry, I'll get you some food."

Xu You frowned and looked at the dean's mother who was a little at a loss.

It was really wrong for her. In the past, the dean's mother was always gentle and calm no matter when it was, but now she speaks a little unscrupulously.

Xu You's eyes flashed, and he picked up the documents on the table. Just a glance at Xu You, he knew why the dean's mother was in a state of dismay.

"Youyou..."

"Someone wants to take over the orphanage?"

Xu You frowned tightly, feeling that this matter seemed too coincidental and too wrong.

It feels like everything has changed since she came back...

"Well, I was not alone in the orphanage. It's good to have professional people coming here, it's good, it's good."

The dean's mother repeated her words, not knowing whether she was convincing Xu You or herself.

"Dean's Mom..."

Xu You wanted to comfort the dean's mother, but she really didn't know what she should say.

She has been with the dean's mother for so many years, and she knows the dean's mother. For her, the children in the orphanage are really the same as her own child. The dean's mother cannot have children due to congenital reasons, and she especially likes children, so she keeps guarding the orphanage, watching the children here grow up bit by bit, and finding a good family as much as possible for them to experience the warmth of the family.

It is really...too cruel to separate her from these children of her now.

"It's okay Youyou, I'm fine. I'm older and it's time to retire. The orphanage has been accepted. The conditions will be better than now, and these children will live better."

"Let's not talk about it, let's go out quickly."

Xu You felt sad when he saw the dean's mother laughing at the children as if she had nothing to give birth, coaxing them and playing with them.

Perhaps the people who accept orphanages can give these children better conditions, but there are really not many people who can selflessly dedicate themselves like the dean's mother. She must know who wants to accept orphanages.

Xu You secretly made up his mind that the orphanage was too important to the dean's mother. This was her spiritual pillar and the thing she had devoted most of her life. It could not be destroyed so easily.

………………………………………

Xu You is actually not the kind of person who is happy, but her recent life has really exhausted her, and she really can't laugh.

So she admires the dean's mother even more. Over the years, no matter what happened to her, her face always has a gentle smile.

But the more she did this, the more distressed Xu You became.

After dinner, Xu You went to the small forest behind the orphanage alone, leaning against the tree trunk, looking at the floating white clouds, and his head was messy.

There seemed to be an invisible hand in her life. This hand kept pushing her away, giving her something, but she was not allowed to refuse. Where would this hand push her?

"Hey! What are you thinking? You've seen you feel that you're in a bad mood these two days. Is there anything wrong with you?"

Nanbei patted Xu You on the shoulder from behind, and then stood shoulder to shoulder with her against the tree trunk.

"No, I just want to go out and walk by myself. The air here is good, but when I come here, I feel like I've been purified."

"...Well, it's true that the air here is really good and fresh. It's not like in the city, it's full of...the smell of car exhaust."

Nanbei took a deep breath, then nodded in agreement.

He has been following Lu Chuheng over the years and has really been working hard. He rarely has the opportunity to come to such a place, so he naturally has very little chance to come into contact with nature. He almost forgot the smell of trees.
