Chapter 131 She Came Too
Chapter 131 She Came Too
accompany……
These two words carry immense weight for us orphans.
The reason I've endured my marriage with Song Yafei all these years is largely because of her companionship.
Even though there were many people with me in the orphanage, I still didn't have the company of my family.
Only after starting a family did I feel grounded and secure, and only then did I experience the warmth of family.
That's what I've longed for.
Perhaps fearing I would refuse again, Song Yafei quickly explained.
"This was a gift from a friend who is going abroad. I knew you liked it, so I kept it."
“If you don’t want it, I’ll have to throw it away. You know I can’t keep a dog.”
It's a fact that she can't keep a dog. Whether it was specially given to me or given by someone else, it doesn't matter.
I really liked this little Border Collie, so I kept it in the end.
This time, Song Yafei unusually didn't pester her.
When I decided to leave it behind, Song Yafei turned around and left without saying a word.
As I watched her frail figure disappear into the distance, I felt an overwhelming sense of desolation.
I held back from asking her to stay.
After we brought the Border Collie in, it took off running around the room and explored the entire house.
Border Collie puppies are very intelligent dogs. Suddenly, a small figure appeared in the empty room.
The house seemed to suddenly be filled with so much, and my heart felt much fuller too.
The little Border Collie wandered around the house for a bit and then came back to my feet. I sat on the sofa, and it struggled to jump onto the sofa and rubbed against my legs.
I'm thinking, what should I name it?
66.
The name that came to mind was this simple one: Liu Liu, a lucky number that I like.
Before going to bed, I put Liu Liu into its little nest.
On the third day after Liu Liu came to our home, the director called and asked us to come back when we had time.
I immediately contacted Xu Hu and Hu Mei to ask if they had time.
Xu Hu needed to drive, but Hu Mei had plenty of free time and readily agreed.
Just as I was preparing my things, Lin Qiuran suddenly arrived.
I was puzzled by his appearance, and he explained.
"Today, my parents-in-law took Xiaoqian out for a stroll and insisted that I rest properly by myself, so they kicked me out."
"You should be grateful to have such loving parents-in-law."
Lin Qiuran nodded happily, a blissful smile on her face. "That's right, I'm so lucky to have married Xiaoqian."
When Lin Qiuran saw Liu Liu, she went over and picked her up.
"My God, when did you get a dog?"
As I packed my things, I replied, "Its name is Liu Liu. Song Yafei brought it over a couple of days ago."
Who sent it?
Upon hearing Song Yafei's name, Lin Qiuran excitedly jumped up from the sofa.
"What's going on? She's bothering you again? I knew she wouldn't give you a break for more than two days."
"No, they just came to give me a gift, an anniversary gift," I explained.
Lin Qiuran frowned deeply. "What's wrong with her? Why is she doing these things that are easy to misunderstand, now that we're about to break up?"
Yes, that's definitely misleading!
However, belated affection is more precious than grass, and I have already made up my mind and will not change it.
No matter what she does, it won't change my mind.
I told Lin Qiuran that I was going back to the orphanage, and since he was free, he drove us back to the orphanage.
We arrived just as Hu Mei arrived.
When I arrived at the orphanage, I found out it was a big clean-up, and I was there to lead a group of children in cleaning.
We rolled up our sleeves, ready to get to work, but then the headmistress called us back.
"Come and sit down, not everyone's here yet!"
Hu Mei and I exchanged glances, unsure of who they were referring to. After all, quite a few people had left the orphanage, and we didn't know who they were talking about.
When we asked the director, she was unwilling to reveal anything. Instead, she led us to sit on the grass, basking in the sun and chatting.
Lin Qiuran was the only child among us who didn't grow up in an orphanage. She put her hands behind her back, looked up at the sky.
The sky was very blue and white today, stretching as far as the eye could see, and the sun was shining brightly.
Lin Qiuran suggested, "The weather is really nice today. Since we're already here, how about we have a barbecue here tonight? It'll be a nice change of pace for the kids."
Everyone present readily agreed, but the headmistress didn't want him to spend money.
"Okay, after I finish cleaning, I'll go buy some groceries from nearby."
Hu Mei raised both hands in agreement and was in high spirits, "Great! Let's have a competition tonight and see who has the best skills."
The headmistress looked at us but didn't say much, just smiled with satisfaction.
"It's wonderful to see you kids grow up, get married, and establish your careers. That makes me content."
The dean genuinely wants the best for us, and we feel very content being able to visit her occasionally like this.
Hu Mei suddenly exclaimed with emotion, "I never thought that after so many years, I would be able to come back here and see you all again. It's so good!"
The dean suddenly asked Hu Mei, "After all these years away, do you have a boyfriend?"
After she said that, we all looked at Hu Mei.
Hu Mei didn't take it seriously. "Hey, there are plenty of men, you can have them whenever you want. It's just that meeting the right person at the right time is very difficult!"
We all agree with what she said.
The dean's mother, however, found it difficult to persuade her, saying, "What is the right time? What is the right person? If you can meet someone and get along with them, that's the right person."
Perhaps it's a generational gap, but we still have a generational divide.
"Xiao Tian, how about you? How are things going with President Song lately?"
Suddenly it was directed at me, and I was stunned for a moment before I could even react.
Not wanting to cause my mother, the hospital director, any worry, I didn't tell her I wanted a divorce.
"We're doing fine, but recently... she's changed a lot."
I don't know if the headmistress noticed that I was lying. She didn't say anything, but just looked up into the distance.
But she gave me the feeling that she knew something.
Unexpectedly, Song Yafei suddenly arrived, carrying quite a few things.
This time, they didn't bring Assistant Luo along.
Why would she come?
I couldn't help but frown.
People who were previously impossible to invite actually came on their own this time.
My subconscious thought was that she came to get close to me, and I instantly felt a bit disgusted.
Soon, the dean also saw Song Yafei and waved to her, "Little Song, we're here."
People who are used to being cold will definitely smile more when they suddenly want to laugh, but in the end they can only manage a faint smile.
She nodded to the headmistress, but her eyes were on me.
The headmistress suddenly nudged me, "They're carrying so much stuff, hurry up and go help them."
