"Han Xiao, what are you guys doing? You're bullying the new kid again.”The little girl's large amber eyes glared at Han Xiao and the others as she approached Bai Zhenyu step by step.
Han Xiao looked at the little girl who was walking towards him with a nonchalant expression. The corners of her mouth twitched in disdain." Tang Ran, it's you again, you wretched girl. Why do you have to interfere in everything?"”
"That's right, that's right. You brat, this has nothing to do with you. Don't cause trouble for yourself.”The little boy on Bai Zhenyu's right side seemed to have Han Xiao backing him up and said indifferently.
"Don't bully me too much. If you don't leave, I'll tell the dean that you're bullying a newcomer again.”
"Hmph, you wretched girl, you're good. You'd better not offend me next time. Brothers, let's go." After Han Xiao finished speaking, he left with hatred, and the others followed suit. When he passed by Tang Ran, he didn't forget to give her a warning glare. After Han Xiao and the others left, only Bai Zhenyu and Tang Ran were left.
Bai Zhenyu had just seen the little girl who had helped him out of his predicament. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and her amber eyes were crystal clear without a trace of impurity. She had a tall nose and pink lips. Coupled with a light blue floral dress, she was extremely cute.
While Bai Zhenyu was looking at Tang Ran, Tang Ran was also looking at Bai Zhenyu curiously. Bai Zhenyu's eyes were glazed and he was much taller than her. Although he looked a little disheveled, it didn't affect his handsome appearance at all. Tang Ran's eyes were fixed on Bai Zhenyu, and for a moment, she was in a daze. When she reacted, she met Bai Zhenyu's vigilant and guarded eyes.
"Um. That…uh. Actually, Han Xiao and the others just love to bully the new orphans. They won't do anything too bad. You'll get used to it in the future…Mm, you'll get used to it.”She had just looked at Bai Zhenyu for such a long time, and now she was a little embarrassed. She even stuttered when she spoke, and her red face was really cute.
Tang Ran said as she walked forward and was about to reach out to help Bai Zhenyu up. Unexpectedly, Bai Zhenyu reached out and waved his hand away. He slowly used his right hand to support himself on the ground and stood up bit by bit.
Bai Zhenyu wiped the dirt off his face and glared at Tang Ran.""I'm not an orphan!" The hatred in her eyes intensified.
"Uh, alright. I said something wrong. I'm sorry. Are you alright?" When Tang Ran met his stubborn and clear eyes, she could tell that there must be a secret hidden under those sparkling eyes. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why he was so excited.
Bai Zhenyu looked at Tang Ran and didn't say anything...
Tang Ran stood there and fiddled with the butterfly knot on her waist. She didn't know what to say. He didn't know whether to stay or leave. He looked very uncomfortable.
Bai Zhenyu's eyes were fixed on the front door of the orphanage. He didn't know what he was waiting for, what he was hoping for, or perhaps he still had some hope in his heart. He imagined that if his father really appeared at the entrance of the orphanage, or if he appeared and couldn't find him, what would he do? These many ifs and what-ifs were still tying down the last trace of hope in Bai Zhenyu's heart...
Tang Ran noticed that Bai Zhenyu was staring at the orphanage's entrance, so she followed his line of sight curiously. However, there was nothing there. The tightly shut iron gate separated the outside world from all the contacts inside.
It pressed down on him, and he felt that his breathing was so tight that he could not breathe…
"It's nothing." Tang Ran looked at the entrance of the orphanage and muttered to herself. He retracted his gaze again and turned to look at Bai Zhenyu, who was still staring at the door." Hey, what are you looking at? There's nothing there." What's there to see?"
Bai Zhenyu looked at Tang Ran, who was still standing beside him, with a distant and unfamiliar gaze. He didn't say anything and continued to look at the door...
"Everyone, quiet down, quiet down.”The director's loving voice filled the entire courtyard.
The orphanage's director held a loudspeaker and called out to the nearly 100 children in the courtyard.
The courtyard that had been in an uproar just a moment ago suddenly quieted down. It was so quiet that no one spoke. From this, it seemed that this principal was still very respected in the hearts of these children.
The children's eyes instantly turned to where the director was standing. There was a little boy standing next to the director. The children were all curious about the little boy, except for Tang Ran, Han Xiao, and the others. And the person standing beside the dean was really Bai Zhenyu.
After the dean saw the silence, a kind smile appeared on his face." Hehe, children, we have a new partner joining you today. Let me introduce him to you.”
"The child beside me is called Bai Zhenyu. He's eleven years old this year. From now on, he's your new partner. Children, don't bully him in the future.”The dean patted Bai Zhenyu's head lovingly and looked at the children in the courtyard.
From the beginning to the end, Bai Zhenyu didn't say a word. He just stood there quietly, his eyes distant and cold...
"Wow, that's great, that's great."
"Welcome, welcome!"
The children's innocent voices instantly erupted, and it became lively all of a sudden.
"Tsk, so this blockhead is called Bai Zhenyu.”Han Xiao muttered disdainfully. In the blink of an eye, it was drowned out by the cheerful voices that rose and fell one after another.
"So you're called Bai Zhenyu." Tang Ran only found out that the boy's name was Bai Zhenyu after hearing the dean's introduction. She raised her eyes and secretly glanced in Bai Zhenyu's direction. Her eyes rolled and a smile appeared on her face as she walked towards the dean and Bai Zhenyu.
"Hello, so your name is Bai Zhenyu. You can play with us in the future. Don't be afraid. They are all very obedient.”Tang Ran walked to Bai Zhenyu's side and raised her head to look at Bai Zhenyu, who was a head taller than her. Then, she reached out and pulled Bai Zhenyu toward the group of children.
Tang Ran hadn't even walked a distance with Bai Zhenyu when she felt her hand being pushed away. She turned around and looked at Bai Zhenyu in confusion.
" Uh…" When she met that distant and cold gaze, she suddenly understood…
Day after day, time passed day by day. It had been almost a month since Bai Zhenyu had moved into the orphanage. Up until now, Bai Zhenyu was still unwilling to talk to other children and play with them. Most of the time, he would either sit quietly alone or sleep all day.
This forced the people who wanted to get close to him to not know what to do. They wanted to play with him but did not know how to get close to him. Slowly, the children would forget about this person.
During this month, there had always been someone who was very curious about Bai Zhenyu's matters and had been secretly paying attention to Bai Zhenyu's actions.
This person was Tang Ran. Ever since their first meeting under the tree, Tang Ran had been curious about Bai Zhenyu. She didn't know what caused Bai Zhenyu's strange temper, so she was still secretly paying attention to Bai Zhenyu's matters.
From the first time they met until now, Tang Ran could see Bai Zhenyu standing straight at the entrance of the orphanage and looking out almost every day. He would return dejectedly every sunset. It had been more than a month since the cycle started, and the expression on his face was getting colder and colder.
Tang Ran had always been curious about this reason. She didn't know what Bai Zhenyu was standing at the entrance of the orphanage every day, looking out at it, or what she had guessed. He was waiting for her parents to come and pick her up. But this was obviously impossible.
This was an orphanage, a place to take in orphans. The people who came here were all here for adoption, and she had never seen anyone who recognized their family. From her observation over the past month, Tang Ran could tell that Bai Zhenyu was very quiet and gentle every time he returned home in disappointment. He never lost his temper, and sometimes, he was so quiet that it was scary...
