New Year's Eve.
The Qi family's reunion dinner was always lunch, which gave Qi Yun time to go to the orphanage at night.
When they arrived at the orphanage, it was already very lively.
It was Qi Yun's first time here, so she couldn't help but be curious.
Red lanterns were hung under the eaves of the small building.
A few children who looked to be three or four years old were playing in the courtyard.
The older children were all huddled in the kitchen.
The cafeteria on the first floor was bustling with people.
They were all preparing for New Year's Eve dinner.
Qi Yun searched for a while before she found Lian Qingxue in the kitchen.
Lian Qingxue was wearing an apron and was still holding a dumpling in her hand. She couldn't help but smile at Qi Yun.
Qi Yun saw a piece of white flour beside her nose.
He couldn't help but reach out to wipe it off for her.
Lian Qingxue's body immediately stiffened when Qi Yun touched her.
Although he was very close to Qi Yun.
But this was where she grew up.
They were all people she was most familiar with.
Qi Yun being so close to her made her feel extremely shy.
When Qi Yun withdrew her hand, Lian Qingxue immediately looked around carefully.
Sure enough, he saw a familiar figure looking at him with a smile.
" Dean…" Lian Qingxue did not dare to look at Dean Li's smiling eyes."This is our Director Li. We all treat her as our mother.”
Qi Yun understood. This was a "parent", right?
Dean Li looked to be in his fifties. His hair was white, and his face seemed to always be smiling.
It was obvious that Lian Qingxue respected her very much.
Perhaps to Lian Qingxue, this person was indeed like a mother.
No wonder Lian Qingxue was so shy.
"You must be Qi Yun?" Dean Li seemed to know Qi Yun.
"You know me?"
"Someone told me a lot about you. They say how good you are every day.”
Hearing this, Lian Qingxue lowered her head again.
"Actually, I have to thank you. Qingxue has been much happier these past few days. I hope you can treat her well in the future.”
Dean Li understood Lian Qingxue's change the best.
She had a good impression of Qi Yun.
Qi Yun looked at Lian Qingxue, who was standing next to her, not daring to raise her head.
Did he pass?
Dean Li was very busy today, so he left after saying a few words to Qi Yun.
At this moment, a person who was about the same age as them jumped out.
"You're Qi Yun!"
Qi Yun looked at the girl with twin ponytails in front of her and was a little stunned."And you are?"
"Xiao Yu, what are you doing?" said Lian Qingxue.
Who else could it be but Lian Qingxue's best friend, Xiao Yu?
"Of course I have to help you!”"It's not that easy to take Qingxue away from us!" Xiao Yu said confidently.”
"That's right!"
"Sister Qingxue is ours!"
"No one can snatch it!"
The voices of a group of little ones came from behind Xiao Yu.
Qi Yun saw that half of the children in the courtyard had followed her.
"Qingxue, do you see this? This is the will of the people!”Xiao Yu waved her hand and said to Lian Qingxue.
"Xiao Yu, stop fooling around!"
Finally, Lian Qingxue managed to appease the group of children.
"I couldn't tell that you're quite popular here. If I wanted to take you away, wouldn't they risk their lives?”
Qi Yun said to Lian Qingxue with a smile.
"It's not…It's not that difficult…"
Lian Qingxue weakly defended herself.
……
When the dumplings were ready, it was time for lunch in the canteen.
There was a long wooden table in the canteen, and everyone was gathered around the table.
Qi Yun counted. There were not many children in the courtyard, probably only a dozen or so.
Qi Yun found a seat with Xiao Yu beside her.
Lian Qingxue seemed to be in charge of distributing the dumplings. When she saw Qi Yun, she smiled and gave him a spoonful of dumplings.
After the dumplings were distributed, even Qingxue ran over to Qi Yun and sat down.
"Are there any dumplings you made here?”Qi Yun asked curiously.
"Maybe." Lian Qingxue smiled and nodded.
When Qi Yun heard this, she picked up a dumpling and put it into her mouth.
With a crack, Qi Yun felt as if he had bitten something hard.
He spat it out and saw that there was a coin wrapped inside the dumpling.
"Good luck next year! There's only one coin in so many dumplings. Qi Yun, you'll definitely have a smooth next year!”Lian Qingxue said.
This was a custom in many places. If a coin was placed in a dumpling during the New Year, the person who ate it would have a good omen for the coming year.
She did not expect Qi Yun to eat the first dumpling.
It was a bit of a coincidence.
At this moment, Xiao Yu, who was at the side, spoke.
"This is cheating!"
"Hmm?" Qi Yun tilted her head and looked at Xiao Yu.
"Qingxue, you're the one who's responsible for the coins every year!" Xiao Yu said angrily. You must have marked it! She had deliberately given him the dumplings just now!”
Qi Yun looked at Lian Qingxue again. She tilted her head and giggled, not daring to look at him.
It was as if she had lied to Qi Yun.
"Qingxue, you don't love me anymore! I was the one who ate it in the past! The newlyweds were laughing, but the old ones weren't crying!”
Xiao Yu broke down.
She was so biased.
He was too brazen!
