The curtain was opened, An Xiaoran looked left and right in the mirror, Gu Chen's seal was very skillful, no matter how she covered it with her hair, she couldn't cover the crimson strawberry on her neck.

Gu Chen put on his shirt and looked complacent: "What do you cover, it's not ugly." ”

"Gu Chen, you still say that it's all your fault, how can I go out to meet people!"

"It shows that we had a great time last night, and there is nothing to see in the eye. ”

"You ......"

"Hurry up, I'm hungry. ”

An Xiaoran was so angry, Gu Chen, the man, became more and more unreasonable.

She finally looked at the marks on her neck, she couldn't accept it anymore, she could only endure it, she decided, when she met a silk scarf shop, she must buy a belt with good ventilation and tie it around her neck. Well, that's it!

When they went downstairs, An Xiao's rosy cheeks were seen by Zhang's mother.

Gu Chen looked high-spirited: "Let's go out to eat, Steward Zhou, Mother Zhang will ask you to take care of it." ”

Steward Zhou was stunned, looking at Gu Chen and An Xiaoran's good relationship, she responded with complicated emotions: "Don't worry, young master." ”

The car stopped in front of a very remote alley in the suburbs, An Xiaoran got out of the car, and saw a simple-looking breakfast shop in the depths of the alley.

Although the breakfast shop doesn't look very good, their business is surprisingly good. Not only was the store full of customers standing in line, but even the extra tables outside the store were full of people.

Breakfast time is coming to an end, and with so many guests, you can see how prosperous it is during the morning rush hour.

Gu Chen and the boss seemed to be very familiar, seeing him coming, the boss didn't care about the unhappiness of the customers in the queue, and directly stuffed Gu Chen with two buns and soy milk, Gu Chen pulled An Xiaoran, went to the backyard of the small shop with ease, and sat down in front of the stone table in the middle of the courtyard.

The small courtyard has the feeling of a Beijing courtyard house, and the stone walls and rubble are full of a sense of age. A large tree hung high above their heads, blocking out the increasingly hot sun. Compared to the noise outside, this place is quiet and elegant.

An Xiaoran was curious: "Do you come often? It's so remote, how did you find it here." ”

"I lived here when I was a kid. Gu Chen said while eating steamed buns.

An Xiaoran realized, she remembered the photo on the table in Gu Chen's study. Before he looked back at home, he lived with his mother.

"I'm not curious, where exactly do I live?"

An Xiaoran smiled: "If you want me to know, I will naturally know." ”

"Hurry up and eat, I'll take you there in a moment. ”

……

Jiangcheng District Orphanage, located in the suburbs near the mountains, is the largest public orphanage in City C, sheltering nearly 500 orphans and abandoned babies. An Xiaoran has an impression of this place, when she was in school, she participated in the charity activities organized by the school, came here, and gave away many of her beloved toys.

The car stopped in front of the door, looking at An Xiaoran's surprised expression, Gu Chen said flatly: "Is it unexpected." ”

"You said this is where you grew up?"

It's strange, doesn't Gu Chen have a mother? How could he live in an orphanage?

"That's right. ”

An Xiaoran thought for a while, and then said, "There must be a lot of children here, I didn't bring anything ......."

Generally, when you come to this kind of place to condole, you have to bring something that the children like, so that it makes sense. But Gu Chen didn't tell her in advance, and An Xiaoran didn't prepare.

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

It turned out that she was worried about this, and sure enough, the direction she was thinking in always surprised him.

"I have prepared the gift and put it in the trunk. ”

With that, he stepped out of the car and carried boxes of gifts out of the car.

When the dean heard that Gu Chen was coming, he personally went downstairs to greet him. She has struggled here all her life, every child is her hard work, and Gu Chen is what she watched grow up. The dean asked a few security guards to move things in, and said with a smile on his face, "The children are very happy to know that you are coming, and everyone is looking forward to you telling them stories." Hey, this is ......."

The dean's eyes fell on An Xiaoran's side, and his eyebrows were full of surprise: "It's a girlfriend, Gu Chen has a girlfriend, so look at it, we are all old." ”

"How can you be old, I see you younger than the last time I came. Gu Chen smiled and hugged the shoulders of the hospital chief, and said coquettishly like a big boy.

"Just your mouth is sweet. ”

An Xiaoran stepped forward and introduced herself in a proper manner: "Hello Dean, I am An Xiaoran, Gu Chen's ......" She glanced at Gu Chen and found that he had no intention of correcting, so she continued: "It's Gu Chen's girlfriend." ”

"Hello, hello," the dean shook An Xiaoran's hand excitedly, "I really know how to be polite, and I look beautiful, I know that she is a good girl at a glance." Gu Chen, you are really blessed with this child, where did you find such a good girl. ”

"You've won a prize......"

An Xiaoran was a little embarrassed by the dean's praise.

"Alright, don't stand here, come, go in and sit. The dean took An Xiaoran with his left hand and Gu Chen with his right hand, and walked in with a smile.

Compared to the lonely two-storey building, it has been completely renovated and three additional 10-storey dormitories have been built for the children. The facilities inside are no longer single, and many advanced elements have been added.

"Gu Chen, thanks to your funding, now learning and entertainment have become lively and interesting, and the children's interest is very strong. The plastic playground is about to be completed, and we will no longer have to borrow a primary school dozens of kilometers away, and we will be able to hold sports meetings in our own yards. ”

The dean was on the way, proudly introduced.

"Over there, there's the staff dormitory. The tutors you hire will live there. At that time, children will be able to choose their own part-time classes according to their preferences. Piano, violin, taekwondo, swimming, and robotics lessons, you can learn whatever you want. ”

The orphanage has been completely renewed, and it is completely different from the deplorable environment it once was. Many of the teaching facilities here are even better than those of the high-class aristocratic schools.

Listening to the dean's tone, they are all Gu Chen's masterpieces?

An Xiaoran looked at Gu Chen and found that between his eyebrows and eyes, there was a different look. It can be seen that he is both satisfied and excited about the transformation here.

When they came to the dean's office, the dean happily prepared a special herbal tea for them. The weather is hot, and they all have a thin layer of sweat on their bodies, and after drinking such a fresh and delicious herbal tea, they only feel refreshed.

"If it weren't for you, we would have been bought by a toy factory here, and the children would have nowhere to go, and I really couldn't help it. Thankfully, you funded in time and helped the children. ”

Gu Chen got up, walked behind the dean, and skillfully squeezed her shoulders: "Where are you, I walked out of the orphanage, and this is my home." So, I did everything I should do. Don't always be so polite to me, just call me by my nickname like you did before. ”

Today's Gu Chen, unlike in the past, is already the third young master of the famous Gu family consortium, and no matter how intimate the dean is with him, he will inevitably be detained. Gu Chen's words eased her nervousness a lot.

"Nickname?" An Xiaoran asked curiously, "What is Gu Chen's nickname?"

The dean laughed, "We all call him Little Stone. ”

"Little stones?"

"He, when he came to the orphanage, always kept a straight face, and no one talked to him, and he was as cold as a stone. We didn't know what his name was, so we just called him Little Rock. ”

An Xiaoran nodded suddenly, this name is very in line with Gu Chen's personality. However, after contact, An Xiaoran felt that Gu Chen was not so unkind, and the so-called coldness was just because he was unfamiliar.

First funded the hospital, and now he found out that he donated money to the orphanage, how can a person who has done so many good deeds be a stone.

Gu Chen chatted a lot with the dean about their past, and the dean recalled it and burst into tears for a while.

An Xiaoran understands her very well, and dedicates her life to this orphanage, just to train the parents of those children to become talents. However, there are not many people who can come back to visit her from time to time like Gu Chen and donate money. Most of them even shy away from the orphanage experience, fearing that their unusual past would affect their future development.

Therefore, every time Gu Chen came back, the dean was very happy. Just like a child who works outside the home visits him from afar, the kind of relief and happiness cannot be expressed in words.

It was time for the end of class, and the children flocked to the playground to laugh and play. An Xiaoran couldn't bear to spoil the atmosphere of Gu Chen and the dean, so she walked out quietly.

The passage to the playground is made of grape trellises, and the vines climb all over the wooden trellises, creating a natural shade for people to cool off. The corridor is connected to the back door of the office building, and as soon as An Xiaoran walked out of the building, he saw a child surrounded by several children in the center.

"Why don't you speak, are you dumb?"

"He's not dumb, and yesterday, I heard him talking to the dean. ”

"Can talk, so why doesn't he speak. ”

One of the children pushed the child hard, and the child's center of gravity was unstable, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"He's a freak at all, you see, he doesn't speak when he hurts, I think he just has something wrong with his brain!"

"Hahaha, there's something wrong with the brain!

"yes, yes, he's a fool!"

"Hahaha, fool with a bad brain!"

The child who was pushed down looked coldly at the children who were watching him, his mouth was stubbornly pursed, and even if he was bullied, he didn't make a sound.

An Xiaoran is the most unaccustomed to bullying people, and it can be seen that this situation has happened more than once, and if no one stops these children, they will definitely be even more excessive.

"Stop!"

She walked over, grabbed the two children by the collars, and pulled them to her side, "Who allowed you to bully him, do you know that bullying the weak is a very useless behavior, it is wrong." ”

The two children were startled, obviously not expecting such a person to suddenly appear from behind them.

"Who are you, what does it matter to you. ”

"I see it, it's my business. If you are not honest, I will tell your teacher and let him criticize you. ”

Sure enough, the trick of 'suing the teacher' is the most effective for children.

When they heard this, they didn't dare to be arrogant for a moment.

"Me, let's go......"

Seeing this, the other children retreated, and the two little thorns suddenly wilted, broke free of An Xiaoran's hand, pointed at the children on the ground, and threatened loudly: "If you dare to tell the dean, we will definitely not let you go." ”

After saying that, he ran away in a puff of smoke.

An Xiaoran shook her head, the current children are like little adults, they are criticized for not correcting their mistakes, and threatening others.

She walked over, squatted down, and helped the child on the ground: "Little friend, are you okay, are there any injuries?"

“……”

"Hello, I'm An Xiaoran, you can call me Sister Xiaoran. ”

“……”

"It's such a nice day, why don't you play with the other kids?

“……”

An Xiaoran found that this child was indeed very alternative and difficult to communicate. The child kept his head down, not looking at her. She simply sat down on the stone bench and let him face herself.
