Summer Lemon Hearts

Chapter 22 Pie from the Sky (3)
"Of course, my Dean." I slipped into the dean's mother's arms and said coquettishly, "Don't worry, Mom. Our life will get better and better. When I grow up, I will Take your class. I will make the Sunshine Orphanage a place where there is only laughter and no pain. I will let all the abandoned children find the warmth of home here! When you are old, I will accompany you every day. Accompany You bask in the sun, and accompany you to the park to watch those old men and women dancing in the square. If you despise me, I will help you find a kind-hearted little old man to accompany you every day, how about it?"

"Okay, you stinky girl. How dare you even make fun of my mother!" The dean's mother smiled and twisted my face, the sadness in her eyes was gradually replaced by a smile.

"My lord, I was wrong." I ran away with a smile, and raised my hands in surrender, "If mom doesn't want the little old man, then Suisui will stay with mom for the rest of her life, okay?"

"Silly girl, how can there be a reason for a girl not to marry for a lifetime?" The dean's mother glared at me, and said dumbfoundedly, "Besides, my mother can't kill you for the rest of my life. Some things are not as simple as you imagined. Then Suffering is like drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or not. Mom doesn’t want you to repeat my old ways.”

"Mom, Sui Sui is not suffering! Sui Sui is not afraid of hardship! Sui Sui is voluntary." No matter how hard these years have been, the dean's mother has never complained a word.

Someone once asked her if she regretted it.

But she shook her head, showing a simple and pure smile on her face that was engraved with traces of time.

She said that no matter how hard it is, seeing the smiling faces of these children makes her feel no pain!
At that time I thought she was just talking casually.It wasn't until this moment that I realized how difficult the life of the dean's mother these years...

"Sui girl..." The dean's mother sighed softly, and seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by me.

"Okay, my lord dean, let's stop wasting our precious time on silly questions. Shall we discuss our bright future?"

"Girl Sui, do you have any good ideas?" Hearing this, I successfully diverted the dean's mother's attention.

"Mom, have you ever thought about... moving the orphanage to another place?" After a long silence, I smiled.

Only I know how hard it is for me to say those words.

"I want to, why don't I want to? I even dream about it!" With a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth, the dean's mother sighed, "But I didn't have money before, so I didn't dare to think about it. Now I have money, but I don't know if I can think about it. Girl Sui , although you don't say it, but mother knows that you don't want to part with this courtyard house. In fact, why is mother willing? But we all know that the conditions here are too bad and not suitable for children's growth. But, girl Sui, do you think we Can we consider these now? It is not an easy task to build a new orphanage. Apart from other things, the bare land is a huge problem."

"Everything depends on human effort." I knew that the dean's mother was right, but I thought things too simply.

But when I thought about what He Tu said today and Xiao An Ning's imminent departure, I felt that no matter how difficult it was, I couldn't give up easily.

"We always have to try hard to know if it works!" I looked at the dean's mother and said firmly.

"It sounds like you guys have encountered some kind of problem? Can you tell me? See if there is anything I can help with?" As soon as I finished speaking, there was a burst of crisp footsteps in the yard.

A woman in her thirties, with beautiful makeup and elegant posture, walked in front of us stepping on high heels.

"Aunt Sun." I nodded respectfully to the woman and said with a smile, "You are here again."

"I haven't seen you for some days, Sui Sui grows more and more beautiful."

Aunt Sun is a frequent visitor to our orphanage, and she has been funding our Sunshine Orphanage for several years without interruption.The dean's mother always praised her not only for her beauty, but also for her kind heart.No wonder you will marry a rich and powerful husband, the husband and wife are loving and harmonious.

"Aunt Sun made fun of Sui Sui again." I gave up my seat to Aunt Sun and said impatiently, "That's right, Aunt Sun, I was just planning with the dean's mother to find a place to rebuild the orphanage. Funding Well-meaning people have already solved the problem for us, but the land issue..."

I blinked my eyes, smiled playfully, and made a naive and endearing gesture: "Auntie Sun, what can I do?"

Although I asked the words, I was somewhat apprehensive in my heart.After all, this is a big event, and ordinary people are absolutely incapable of doing it.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Sun agreed without even thinking about it: "Well, I'll go back and find a way, it shouldn't be a big problem."

After all, before the dean's mother and I could express our gratitude, Aunt Sun changed the subject and said, "Hey, why is it so quiet in the yard today? Where are the children?"

"Aunt Sun is looking for Xiao An Ning, he was taken to get a haircut by Aunt Chen in the neighborhood." Aunt Sun has always been kind to the children in the orphanage, especially to Xiao An Ning.

In the past few years, she has come to the orphanage as a volunteer almost every month, and she spends the longest time with Xiao An Ning every time, and her love for him is beyond words.Several times, the dean's mother and I thought she would ask to adopt Xiao An Ning, but for some reason, every time the words came to her lips, she flinched again.

The dean's mother and I speculated privately whether Aunt Sun had any scruples, so we didn't mention it again.However, this does not affect her love for Xiao An Ning!
Every time she looked at Xiao An Ning, she was so loving.I know that that kind of love comes from the bottom of my heart, and it can never be faked!

I don't know how Auntie Sun will react if she knows that Xiao Anning is about to be adopted and may go to settle abroad?
She must be very sad, right?

Looking at the undisguised disappointment in Aunt Sun's eyes at this moment, I suddenly couldn't bear to tell her the news.

"Aunt Sun..." After thinking about it, I still decided that short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, "There is something I must tell you."

Seeing my serious face, Aunt Sun put away her smile and asked, "What's the matter, Suisui? Tell Auntie, what happened?"

"Aunt Sun..." I had just opened my mouth when the gate of the courtyard was suddenly pushed open with a "bang".

"Ye, Ye Suisui..." Under the slanting winter sun, the young man Ruyu appeared in front of us with thin sweat stains on his face.

Because he was running so fast, he was still panting heavily at this moment.Anxiety and tension were written on that handsome and incomparably handsome face, but his gaze changed slightly after seeing Aunt Sun in the yard.

"Aunt Sun..." he shouted in surprise.

"Xiao Tu, why did you come here?" Aunt Sun's complexion changed drastically after seeing who was coming.That beautiful and elegant face was full of apprehension, uneasiness, panic and fear at the moment.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I seem to feel that there is an inexplicable and weird undercurrent surging between these two people.

"Hey, so Auntie Sun also knows Hetu?" I pretended to be ignorant and asked with a calm smile.

"Yes, of course I do." Aunt Sun seemed to be jealous of something, she suddenly stood up and said with a smile, "I just remembered, I have something else to do. Xiaotu, since you are here, please stay a little longer. Sun Auntie is leaving first!"

Aunt Sun's movements are still as graceful as before, but I can see from her hasty steps that she is flustered at the moment.

what is happening?
When Aunt Sun saw Hetu, why was it like seeing a ghost?
Moreover, judging from their appearance, it seems that they are not a little familiar...

"Aunt Sun, go slowly." I looked at Hetu in some confusion, and saw him nodding his head, his obsidian eyes shining with complicated light.

Watching Aunt Sun's back disappear at the gate of the courtyard, I looked away and waved my hand in front of Hetu.

"Hey, hey, classmate Hetu, everyone is far away, you should come back to your senses!"

He Tu smiled, looked away a little anxiously, and unexpectedly did not quarrel with me.

"Hey, do you have something on your mind?" I bumped the map of the river with my elbow and asked with raised eyebrows.

"Where's Xiao An Ning?" He Tu didn't answer my question, but lowered his long black eyelashes, covering up the flickering light in his eyes.

This stingy guy, don't say it, don't say it!This girl is not rare to know.

I rolled his eyes at him and said angrily. "He went to get a haircut and hasn't come back yet."

"Oh." Hetu responded in a low voice, turned around and walked out the door.Under the afterglow of the setting sun, that slender figure seemed a bit lost.

What the hell is this guy doing?

Did he come all the way to the orphanage just to ask if An Ning was there?
Or was the news that Xiao An Ning was about to be adopted a blow to him too much?
