******
A joyful song rang in his ears. The childish voice sounded in the House of Irishmen.
The " House of Irishman " was the largest orphanage in Jin 'an. The youngest orphans were still swaddling babies, and the oldest was only 16 years old. The children who were able to stand on their own feet at 16 years old had already left the orphanage to find a place of their own.
The sound of singing kept coming from the House of Irishman. The children inside were happily singing the songs they had just learned.
Yesterday, when I hit your door, you splashed a bucket of water outside.
Splash on my leather shoes, pedestrians on the road giggle
You didn't say anything to me, you just squinted at me
Lulalululalalala
A song is coming
The singing in the orphanage slowly faded away.
At this moment, a girl's voice rang out in the House of Irishmen.
"Children, we've finished singing the water splashing song. What are we going to sing next?" the girl asked gently.？？”
Singing Pigsy...
We sing two tigers and still sing
Many children's voices rang out in the courtyard. Many children had different thoughts, so the songs they were going to sing were different.
In the end, the girl had no choice but to stop them."Children, let's not sing anymore. We've already sung a lot. Why don't we play a game?？？”
Many children clapped happily.
The children's smiles caused ripples in the girl's heart, and the smile on the girl's face became even brighter.
It's been a long time since I've smiled like this, she thought.
"Xiao 'ai."
She raised her feet and was about to walk towards the group of children who were only a few years old. At this moment, a voice called out to her and stopped her from moving forward.
A middle-aged woman walked out from the other door of the courtyard and called out to her softly.
Yan Ai turned around and looked at the woman walking towards her. She smiled and said,"Principal, why are you here?"
"I have something to say to you." The orphanage's director looked at her.”
" Anything???" Yan Ai was a little hesitant, but in the end, she smiled and asked,"" What's the matter???"
"You've been doing volunteer work here for a long time. We're really embarrassed to continue doing this."
"No, don't say that." She looked at the group of children who were playing happily, then turned her head to look at the director and said seriously,"They are such a cute group of children. I want to stay and take care of them. I want to look at their cute faces.”
"Yes, I know you like them very much. I'm very happy too.”The dean said with a smile.
However, Xiao 'ai thought that the dean was going to chase her away, so she hurriedly said,""Director, can you not chase me away?？？”
When the group of children heard that the director might chase her away, they all ran over and hugged the director's leg, crying and saying,"Mother Director, don't chase Sister Xiao 'ai away. Don't chase Sister Xiao' ai away.”
"I... I didn't say I was going to chase Sister Xiao 'ai away!”The director comforted the adorable children and smiled at Xiao 'ai.""I just want to pay her to be our official employee and stay by our little one's side forever.”
" Director, you..." Yan Ai was stunned when she heard her words. She looked at the director gratefully.
"Xiao 'ai, you'll be our official employee from now on. You have to work hard.”
"Yes." Yan Ai nodded her head, a smile on her face.
Hearing the director's words, the children did not seem to want to chase Yan Ai away. They circled around Xiao 'ai happily and shouted.
"Sister Xiao 'ai won't leave. Oh, Sister Xiao' ai won't leave.”
Yan Ai was also happily walking in circles with them. She smiled happily. That kind of smile was not found in the Bai family or in school. It was the most beautiful smile that was hard to see at any time.
afternoon
In a villa in the suburbs, Yan Ai carefully watered the flowers and plants in front of her. Slowly, her thoughts turned to the morning at the House of Irishmen, where she played with the group of children.
She smiled faintly.
She snapped back to her senses and looked at the plants that she had watered too much. She quickly took away the water bottle in her hand. She was really careless. She looked at the plants that had drunk too much water and smiled helplessly.
After watering the plants, she turned around and walked into the house.
She made some noise in the kitchen for a while and finally woke up the person who was still sleeping.
An old man slowly came down from upstairs.
The old man had a head full of silver hair, and his hair was very sparse. His eyes were kind, but his eyes were a little swollen. His thin face looked haggard, and his wrinkled face looked at a corner of the house in confusion.
The old man walked to the source of the voice and looked at Yan Ai, who was busy. He said slowly,"Xiao 'ai, what are you doing?？？It's so loud."
The old man's old and weak voice sounded behind her. Yan Ai turned around and looked at the confused old man,""Granny, you're awake. I'm busy cooking. The other maids might not be able to come today, so I have to cook. But I'm not good at cooking, so I made a lot of noise. I'm sorry to disturb you.”
Yan Ai walked to the old man and wanted to help her upstairs, but the old man refused.
Yan Ai slowly helped the old man to sit down at the table in the living room. She looked up at Yan Ai and asked curiously,"Why aren't they here? Are you alone?"
"Yes, I am." Yan Ai nodded.
The old man smiled bitterly." Hehe, I knew it. Those maids are unreliable. Maybe they didn't even know that I died that day. They're not attentive at all. They only know that it's fine as long as they get paid. You're still more considerate."”
The old man gently patted her hand that was massaging him on his shoulder and said sadly.
After Yan Ai quit her job in the bakery and restaurant, she found a part-time job as a maid in the mother-in-law's house. The salary was very good.
However, she found it very strange. There were many maids in this house. She had been working here for more than a month, but she had never seen anyone else in this house. It seemed that this old mother-in-law was the only one in this house. If this mother-in-law could not work, how could she hire a maid? Moreover, the salary was very high.
Yan Ai couldn't figure it out, but maybe he had some relatives who couldn't stay by her side because of work.
Looking at the old man's back, Yan Ai's heart ached unconsciously. An old man must be very lonely in such a big villa. Why weren't her children by her side to protect her?？？？To let such an old man stay here alone.
She was a very curious person. She knew that curiosity killed the cat, but she could not help but ask.
"Auntie, where are your family members? Why haven't I seen them in this house?？？”
Hearing her words, the old man's body was obviously startled, but he asked her in relief,"" Why are you asking this?"
Yan Ai knew that she was being rude, so she quickly changed her words."I'm sorry. Should I not have asked?？？I'm really sorry, I…"
"It's fine, it's fine."
The old man interrupted her and said leisurely,"How many years has it been? It's already been so many years. I can't even remember how many days have passed.”
The old man spoke slowly, as if he was talking to her, but also as if he was not talking to her, as if he was immersed in his own world.
"Hey!" The old man sighed deeply and prepared to walk upstairs.
Yan Ai wanted to help her up, but the old man brushed her hand away and walked upstairs slowly.
Yan Ai looked at the old man's back and felt sad. She did not know why.？？She was fated to meet this old man, and it was the same for the first time. If not for this old man, she might not have stayed here today.
Yan Ai watched as the old man walked up the stairs and disappeared around the corner. She turned around in a daze and walked towards the kitchen.
After she finished cooking and waited for the old man to eat, she helped out with some other things in the villa.
She waited for the other maids to return before starting to go home.
When she reached the hillside
She turned around to look at the villa not far away, and the sadness in her heart could not help but deepen.
She didn't know where the old woman's family was, nor did she know what her family looked like. She only knew that her face was filled with disappointment and sadness. The old woman must miss her family very much, right?？？？
Just as she was feeling sad, she suddenly realized that her shoelaces were untied. She bent down to tie them carefully.
The moment she bent down, a silver-white sports car sped past her. After she tied her shoelaces, she stood up and looked at the sports car before turning her gaze to the villa on the hill.
She sighed and turned to walk home.
When she returned to the Bai family home, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. She lay on the bed tiredly.
Because the girls had splashed water on her body two days ago, she had caught a slight cold these few days. After taking the cold medicine, she fell into a deep sleep.
the next day
She woke up very early today because the restaurant where she used to work was very busy on weekends. She had no choice but to call her to help out today.
Yan Ai also agreed and happily prepared.
Bai Family's dining room
The walls of the dining room were bronze in color. The crystal beads on the chandelier on the ceiling reflected a translucent shadow under the light. The shadow reflected on the table and kept jumping.
The light shone through the crystal lampshade, giving off a yellow glow that made people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts. On the sandalwood table was an expensive blue-and-white porcelain bottle.
In the middle of the long sandalwood table that was four to five meters long, there was a large bouquet of roses that were all expensive in color and texture.
Only the two young masters of the Bai family were sitting at the sandalwood table, but Shangguan Yue and Bai Sen were nowhere to be seen.
Yan Ai looked at Second Young Master Bai and asked curiously,""Why? Didn't Uncle and Auntie come down?？？”
The maid kept adding food to the table, but the second young master of the Bai family ignored her. It was the maid next to her who explained the problem to her.
"Master went to Japan on a business trip, and Madam happened to go to Japan to visit her relatives, so the two of them went together. It might take more than a week for Master and Madam to come back.”
"Business trip, visiting relatives. So that's why.”Yan Ai was enlightened. She lowered her head and prepared to eat.
However, she suddenly reacted. She looked at the maid beside her and shouted in surprise,"They're on a business trip to visit their relatives and will only be back in more than a week.”
"Yes." The maid nodded in confusion. She did not understand why she was so agitated when she saw her overreacting.
If she was doomed, she would have to spend more than a week alone with the Second Young Master of the Bai family. What a joke! During this period of time, Bai Yuxi would definitely eat her up. Three black lines immediately appeared on her head.
She raised her head and looked at Bai Yuxi, who was smiling evilly. She was very unhappy. Usually, when Uncle and Auntie were at home, he wouldn't be impudent. Now that Uncle and Auntie weren't at home, he was going to make things difficult for her.
However, there was no need for her to be afraid of him. It was not the first time she had been pranked by him. What was there to be afraid of?
Yan Ai glared at him and pretended not to see Bai Yuxi's provocative gaze. She continued to eat.
Bai Ye had been sitting there, quietly eating his breakfast. However, even if he was sitting there quietly, the king's aura and icy cold face he emitted made it difficult for people to look away.
The awkward atmosphere quickly spread between them.
