Chapter 5: His Past

All the words were churning in Wang Mengmeng's heart, she clenched her hands tightly, and tried great hard to restrain the surging feelings in her heart.

Dean Lin looked at Wang Mengmeng, and the relief in his eyes slowly turned into sentimentality.

"I can understand your feelings, but," Dean Lin sighed, "I haven't seen him for a long time, and we haven't been in touch since he left for the United States." ”

No...... Contact?

A flash of disappointment flashed in Wang Mengmeng's eyes.

"Every year, Weifeng sends a donation from the United States to the account of the children's welfare home, and I know that in the child's heart, he still cares about the children's welfare home, but he has never left us a contact information. Dean Lin said, "I think he may still feel pain because of the sad memories of his childhood, and he doesn't want to remember the past......

"You said that he sends money to the account every year?" Wang Mengmeng seemed to see the dawn of hope, "So, is it possible for us to contact each other through the payment records?"

Dean Lin never seemed to have thought about this question, she thought about it, and said with some hesitation: "Maybe there is such a possibility, but ...... If Wei Feng didn't want anyone to disturb his life, then doing so would undoubtedly add to his troubles. You may not know what Wei Feng has gone through over the years because of the death of his parents......"

Seeing his parents being flooded by the river in front of his eyes, and watching his parents lose their lives, such a blow is by no means as simple as saying it lightly. After all, empathy doesn't happen to everyone.

"When Wei Feng first came to the 'Home of Hope' orphanage, he was very silent. Moreover, he seems to have completely lost his memory of the drowning of his parents. Occasionally, we inadvertently mention it, and his reaction is also faint, as if he were an outsider. I applied for psychological assistance, and a psychologist from a welfare institution examined him, but the final conclusion was that Wei Feng's child was ...... In the things that cannot be faced, I choose to close myself off and forget. Speaking of what happened back then, Dean Lin still inevitably showed a sad expression, "This is unbearable for him at that age." Therefore, after discussion, we decided to respect his wishes and not mention the events of that year. We wish he could slowly forget the past and start living, but in fact ......"

"What about the facts?" Wang Mengmeng's heart rose suddenly. She felt a wave of fear, looked at Dean Lin's gaze, and became nervous.

"Actually, it's not that easy," Dean Lin sighed softly, "Wei Feng is a very good child, he is very sensible, he never causes trouble to anyone, and often sits quietly in the corner. But because he was too quiet, it was difficult for him to integrate with his new family. He was adopted by four families, but he ...... They were all sent back because they couldn't connect emotionally with each other......"

Was it abandoned for adoption by four families......

In her heart, as if she had been hit hard by something, Wang Mengmeng felt that her chest was suffocated for a while, and it was even difficult to breathe.

Every time he faced a new family, he ...... The boy who should have grown up happily under the pampering of his parents, did he have any expectations in his heart?

Will that expectation be forcibly plucked and rolled into mud before it has begun to blossom and bear fruit?

Four times started, four times abruptly stopped, his heart must be full of pain.

Tears, swirling in the circles of the eyes. Wang Mengmeng tried hard to restrain herself from tears, Dean Lin stretched out his hand, patted Wang Mengmeng's hand gently, and said gently: "However, fortunately, he was not given up by the parents of the fifth family. The parents were very gentle people, the father was a doctor and the mother was a teacher. Their son died in an accident, he was the same age as Wei Feng, and they were all equally good boys. When they saw Wei Feng, they regarded him as their own son, and did not stay away from him because he was not good at expressing emotions. Before they went to the United States, they brought Wei Feng to visit me. After three years, Wei Feng's state is already the same as when he first came to the children's welfare home. Miss Wang, I can responsibly tell you that Wei Feng's adoptive parents love him very much, and he is also living well. ”

Wang Mengmeng nodded, nodded again, she used so much strength to keep the tears from falling.

"Thank you, Dean Lin, for telling me this. I didn't want to disturb his life, I just wanted to tell him how grateful and sorry I was to his parents...... But you're right, I can't let my selfishness remind him of his old pain. I...... I took my leave. ”

She stood up and bowed deeply to Dean Lin.

Looking at Wang Mengmeng's face with pain and sadness, Dean Lin wanted to speak and stopped. But finally stopped Wang Mengmeng when she wanted to turn around and leave: "I can help you find out his contact information, but I will consult him in advance, Wei Feng doesn't want to see you, then, I will never disclose his information to you." ”

Wang Mengmeng turned around abruptly and said "thank you" to Dean Lin from the bottom of her heart.

In this world, how much gratitude can be summed up in the word "thank you"?

Should...... A lot, right......

Bidding farewell to Dean Lin, Wang Mengmeng stepped onto a motorcycle at the entrance of the children's welfare home, and before leaving, she took a deep look at this place surrounded by green trees and filled with joyful laughter.

The children playing happily on the playground, the children lining up to play the slide, and the children bathing in the sun, she really hopes and sincerely prays that they can all be adopted by loving families and treated gently by the world.

Wang Mengmeng put on a helmet and started the motorcycle.

She walked through the first intersection, walked through the second intersection, and at the corner of the third intersection, saw a familiar figure.

"Mr. Lu?"

Wang Mengmeng didn't expect to see Lu Dan here, and after Mr. Wu withdrew the complaint, Lu Dan also fulfilled his promise and withdrew his report on Xiaowang's errand company's store. Completely businesslike, they didn't even say "goodbye" to each other.

Except for the day when Wang Meng sprouted the rash, he sent Lu Dan a "concern" WeChat message in order to verify the "telepathy".

Lu Dan had his back to Wang Mengmeng, so he didn't see her standing behind him.

At this moment, he is looking from afar at the "Green Shoots" Children's Welfare Home that stands quietly among the green trees.

According to Dean Lin, after the relocation of the orphanage, in order to provide a safe haven for more children who have no one to take care of them, the "Home of Hope" orphanage was officially renamed the "Green Shoots" Children's Welfare Home.

There, there are many children in the same situation as him, with a wounded desire for family and love, watching over the expectation called love.

Did he look forward to it?

At that time in childhood?

That was a past that Lu Dan didn't want to face, but couldn't get rid of. He forgot his parents, who had given him love but took it back indifferently, and came to one strange family after another. He had been confronted with friendly faces one after another, but he didn't know how to respond to their kindness.

Yes, he won't.

Since he had forgotten the past, he had forgotten the way he expressed his emotions.

In the face of their smiles, concerns, and greetings, all he can give is a cold gaze, and a calmness that says something. No, there is no way to smile with gratitude for the kindness of the other person, and I don't know how to say warm words.

That's it, he was sent back again and again, and some even called him a "monster".

A monster that doesn't express emotions.

Lu Dan looked at the white building quietly, and just now, his heart was surging with pain, sadness and guilt that he couldn't understand at all. Years ago, he was unable to respond to those who had given him warmth and kindness, and the emotions he had generated were now welling up in his heart, and he almost couldn't restrain himself from tears.

The tree, which had been delayed for so long, seemed to have regained its vitality in an instant, and suddenly began to grow wildly. Finally...... Who woke them up?
