Her blood boiled up for a moment before, but now after she calmed down, she still didn't want to see her mother, who had taken care of her for many years, look disappointed.

"Daohua, don't worry about the orphanage. I will take good care of these children after you leave. You must become a hero that makes everyone proud before you come back. The children and I will look forward to your performance."

The words of the dean’s mother still echoed in my ears.

Now that the things entrusted by the other party have not been completed, can we really go back like this?

The location of the orphanage is relatively remote, and only a few flickering street lights can be seen on the road.

Dongdang Daohua stood in the dark night, looking at the brightly lit orphanage, he didn't dare to take a step.

She was a little afraid that the dean would ask her if she had become the children's hero after entering, and she was also afraid that the children would look disappointed in her.

The closer she got to the orphanage, the more terrified she felt.

She somewhat understood why those incompetent children on TV clearly wanted to see their relatives but still dared not go home.

Standing in the night wind, Dongtang Daohua's little face turned red from the cold. She rubbed the corners of her clothes and said hesitantly to Nanxiang Yun: "Um...Yun, why don't we go back? I'll put the puppet on here." Just tell them at the door that it was sent by a courier."

"Huh? You are still saying stupid things now. How can you go back now after you have come this far?"

At this time, the trams and the like have long been out of service, and here, people under the age of [-] staying in hotels must be accompanied by at least one adult to receive them.

If they don't go into the orphanage or find an adult to help them get a room, they will have to sleep outside in the open all night.

His health was okay, but a girl of Tōdō Touka's age obviously couldn't stay out in the cold all night, otherwise she would be sure to catch a cold when she woke up tomorrow.

"But..."

"There's nothing wrong with that. Daohua has to learn to be willful occasionally. You have to know that only children who can cry can get candy."

"No... I still can't do it..."

The laughter of children kept coming from the yard on the other side of the wall. Nanxiang Yun looked at Todou Touka, who had his head lowered as if someone had cast a body-holding spell, and sighed.

"I understand, as long as we don't get discovered by that dean, right?"

"Eh? Wait, what do you want to do?"

Under the surprised gaze of Touka Todo, he placed the puppets that the other party had worked so hard to make at the door of the orphanage, then ran over and rang the doorbell.

ding dong~

The laughter in the yard stopped suddenly as if someone pressed the pause button.

"Mom! It seems like a guest is coming!"

One child was the first to speak out, hoping to show his intelligence so that he could gain more favor from the dean in the future.

"I heard you~ You guys play here for a while and I'll open the door."

Like a breeze blowing over the water, a gentle female voice came from the courtyard of the orphanage.

But at this moment, Nanxiang Yun still didn't move. He listened carefully to the movements in the yard.

Until a certain moment, when the sound of playing came from the yard again, he understood that the opportunity had come.

Just like a noisy class, it will always become quiet when the class teacher announces something, and then wait for the other person to leave, and then the noise will resume again.

He seized the gap where the dean opened the door and stepped on the wall. Like a nimble monkey, he turned over in the air and stood firmly on it.

"Come up quickly."

Stepping on the not-so-wide wall, Nanxiang Yun stretched out his hand to Dongtang Daohua.

She was startled by Nanxiang Yun's series of smooth movements, but she quickly grabbed his hand and turned it over.

When Todo Touka stood firm and looked down, he discovered that familiar faces were playing right below the two of them. As long as one of the children looked up, he would find the location of the two of them.

"Wait a minute, this location is too dangerous...!"

She lowered her voice and spoke to Nan Xiangyun, glancing at the soles of her feet from time to time, for fear that any child would hear her words and look up at them.

"I know, so my target is not this wall, but there."

Dongtang Daohua looked at where Nanxiang Yun's finger pointed. It was a landscape tree about five meters long. She used to hide on the trunk of that tree when she played hide-and-seek with her friends in the orphanage. It was indeed A pretty good hiding spot.

but.

"No, with my current physical condition, I can't jump up."

Dongtang Daohua shook his head and said, he was just recovering from a serious illness. He didn't have much energy to run all the way, let alone jump to such a far distance.

"I know, so come up here before the dean comes back."

Nanxiang Yun squatted down on the wall with his back to Dongtang Daohua.

"Is it really okay?"

She worriedly looked at the distance between the wall and the tree. If Nanxiang Yun was alone, Todou Touka believed that the other party would definitely be able to jump up. But now there is another one of her. At this height, if she fails to fall down, The other person may also have broken bones.

"Hurry up, you have to ask me to say something and you don't want the dean to know that you've been back, so you're willing to come up?"

"Why does Yun always like to say such weird things?"

Dongdang Daohua complained, then put his hands around Nanxiang Yun's neck, and pressed her delicate body tightly against her. Her current posture looked like a little koala, hugging her tightly. Mother.

The girl's breath hit Nanxiang Yun's ears, making him feel itchy.

"Got to go."

Dragging Dongtang Daoka's white thighs with both hands, Nanxiang Yun bent his knees and kicked his feet hard, showing unparalleled explosive power and leaping far away from the wall in one fell swoop.

In fact, he didn't have any doubts about whether he could reach the tree while carrying someone on his back, but he had noticed at a certain time that the wishes in his mind were particularly easy to come true, and almost all of them were about to come true. the point.

So, it will definitely work this time.

Whoa—

His feet stepped heavily on the branches of the tree, and the leaves swayed making a noisy sound.

Fortunately, the child below just thought it was the sound of the wind blowing, looked at it in confusion, and then went on to do his own thing.

Not long after, the dean came back from the door, holding a puppet made by Tōdō Touka.

Soon, the sharp-eyed children discovered this thing and gathered around it.

"Hey, this is Sister Daohua. Is this a gift from her?"

"Yes, this is something made by your sister Daohua herself."

"Hey, let me see it too!"

"Don't squeeze, I want to see it too!"

When the children in the orphanage heard Dongtang Daohua's name, they suddenly became excited and quickly pushed away their friends who were playing together just now, rushing to see the little puppet.

Looking at this scene, Dongtang Daohua, who was lying on Nanxiang Yun's back, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a happy smile.

-------------------------------------

It was getting late, and the children were already exhausted after having been noisy for so long. They went back to their rooms to rest. Only the director of the orphanage was left in the yard, silently cleaning with a broom.

"This will satisfy you."

Nanxiang Yun said angrily to Todo Touka on his back.

For a whole hour, there was still someone on his back, and his feet were numb from squatting. He could just press the doorbell and go in, but it still cost him so much effort.

"Hey, hey, I'm sorry."

Dongdang Daohua poked Nanxiang Yun's cheek with her little hand wrapped around Nanxiang Yun's neck. She also knew that she had caused a lot of trouble to the other person, but as she usually took care of others, it was rare for her to experience the feeling of being taken care of. , I can’t help but want to rely on the other person more.

"Forget it, but if we want to leave next, we can only wait until the dean finishes cleaning and leaves."

Nanxiang Yun said helplessly that if he wanted to jump back from the tree, the leaves would definitely make a lot of noise. Children might not care, but as an adult, the dean had to come over and take a look even to prevent thieves.

"Well... we can only wait slowly."

More than half an hour passed.

"Aha..."

Dongdang Daohua covered her mouth and yawned, and Nanxiang Yun's words suddenly reached her ears.

"If you are sleepy, go to sleep first. I will find a hotel where you can stay after the dean leaves."

"How is this possible? You came all the way to help me. How could I be so heartless as to let you wait alone in the tree?"

"Okay, then you can watch it slowly with me."

That's what he said, but Nanxiang Yun knew that children's bodies feel tired more easily, let alone Touka Todou, who was in poor health.

Sure enough, she lay on Nan Xiang Yun's back and quietly felt the body temperature between the two of them. After a while, her breathing calmed down, and she put her face on Nan Xiang Yun's shoulder and fell asleep deeply.

"Daohua? Daohua?"

After shouting twice to confirm that the other party would not wake up for the time being, Nanxiang Yun carefully jumped from the tree and landed directly in front of the director of the orphanage.

The other person is a kind middle-aged woman. It seems that wrinkles appeared on her face early because she was too tired to take care of orphans.

At this moment, she was very surprised when she saw Nanxiang Yun who suddenly jumped down from the tree and the Todo Touka on his back.

"Shh, Dao Hua doesn't want you to know she's here."

Nan Xiangyun put his index finger to his lips to make a hissing gesture, and then slowly explained what happened to the other party.

To put it bluntly, no parent would dislike their children. It's just that Todo Touka was afraid of going home.

"That's it, silly boy."

Sure enough, after hearing what happened, the director of the orphanage showed a gentle smile, put his calloused right hand on Dongtang Daohua's head and stroked it gently. The other person seemed to feel something moving his nose in his dream, He made a coquettish murmur.

"Although this child seems to be very caring on a daily basis, she is actually surprisingly clumsy in some situations."

The dean has always seen Dongtang Daohua's performance over the years. As the oldest among the children, she has been working hard to be a good role model for the children, even if she was cut by a knife while helping to cook. Even if he gets hurt, he won't cry like other children.

But this kind of maturity made the dean worry about the other party's condition. She didn't want the orphanage to become a burden to Dongdang Daohua, so after the other party left, in order to make the other party less worried about the children in the orphanage, she said that she would become The words come back after everyone's heroes.

Because after Tōdō Touka really succeeds, the children in the orphanage will probably grow up and be able to understand how much Tōdō Touka has suffered over the years, and they will be able to let Tōdō Touka be like those children every day. Sleeping until she wakes up naturally, without having to get up at five o'clock to prepare breakfast for them, allows her to say "want" when she sees something she likes, instead of forcing herself to give these things to those who love her. Crying child.

The dean's greatest expectation for Dao Hua is that she can cry when she should cry, laugh when she should laugh, and not keep everything in her heart like an ordinary girl.

Unexpectedly, her expectations for the other party turned into pressure from the other party, making Dongtang Daohua cautious when returning home.

"I will apologize to her properly later. Thank you for taking care of her during this time."

The dean said solemnly to Nanxiang Yun.
