155 Thou shalt not have compassion on me
Ye Lingxi was not a twisted person, and she felt quite happy to have so many people to accompany her to the reunion dinner.
The children in the Sunshine Orphanage are not small, and the entire auditorium looks like there are more than a hundred children, ranging from a few years old to a teenager, all orphans without families.
However, it can be seen that Aunt Fu has taken good care of them, and the children are obediently sitting on both sides of the long tables, looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, and there are bright smiles on their immature faces.
Lu Jingxing took Ye Lingxi to sit in the middle of one of the long tables, and as soon as Ye Lingxi sat down, a seven or eight-year-old boy sitting on her right side tilted his head and asked her quietly: "Sister Lingxi, can you sign for me?" You are so beautiful, I like you to act in advertisements. ”
Although the little boy was small, his brain was very bright, and he immediately called out Ye Lingxi's name.
Seeing the little boy looking at him earnestly, his clean eyes full of anticipation, Ye Lingxi was naturally embarrassed to refuse.
But just as she wanted to agree, she heard Lu Jingxing, who was sitting on the other side of her, say majestically: "Hao Hao, my sister wants to eat, and I'll talk about other things after eating." ”
"Oh...... Okay, Uncle Lu. Lu Jingxing seemed to have a special prestige among this group of children, he just said a word, and the little boy named Hao Hao stopped pisting with Ye Lingxi.
Uncle Lu?
Hearing Hao Hao call Lu Jingxing uncle, Ye Lingxi almost burst into laughter, and he tried his best to not laugh.
Seeing that Ye Lingxi's facial expression was a little twitching, Lu Jingxing glanced at her and said coldly: "If you want to laugh, laugh if you want to, I am not responsible for the illness." ”
"Poof!" Hearing Lu Jingxing say this, Ye Lingxi really burst out laughing, and then hurriedly covered his mouth and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I didn't hold back for a while." Uncle? He actually called you uncle. ”
"What's so funny?I'm almost forty years old, if I get married early, my children should be about the same age as them, what's wrong with calling me uncle?" Feeling that Ye Lingxi's performance was a little fussy, Lu Jingxing said disappreciatively.
As soon as he heard Lu Jingxing mention the child, Ye Lingxi's face changed slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly stiffened, and gradually dispersed unconsciously.
"yes, you're not young. Ye Lingxi responded lightly, picked up the boiling water on the table and took a sip.
"What, are you very proud to hear them call me uncle and sister?" didn't notice Ye Lingxi's strange appearance, Lu Jingxing only thought she was making fun of herself.
Since Lu Jingxing said so, Ye Lingxi did not hide it, and generously admitted: "Yes, I am proud, after all, I am a generation behind." But from these two titles, can it be proved that I can also call you uncle like them?"
"As long as you're kind, I'm fine. Lu Jingxing didn't pay attention to Ye Lingxi's ridicule, and said casually.
Seeing that Lu Jingxing's reaction was so flat, Ye Lingxi felt bored, so he stopped making fun of him on this topic.
At first, Ye Lingxi thought that because of Lu's funding, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the orphanage should be the level of a five-star hotel, if not the level of a three-star Michelin restaurant.
As a result, when the staff brought all the meals, the meals on the table were at most the level of a roadside restaurant.
"Lu Jingxing, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, you give your child these, will it be a little too picky?" Such a big festival, the result of the meal is like this, Ye Lingxi said a little disappointed.
"Spiritual abundance and care are far more important than material conditions. This is an orphanage, and if you want a big meal, you should go where your big star is supposed to be. Regarding Ye Lingxi's doubts, Lu Jingxing retorted.
After that, Lu Jingxing didn't pay attention to Ye Lingxi, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and ate with the children.
Originally, Ye Lingxi wanted to reason with Lu Jingxing again, but seeing that he was eating so naturally with chopsticks, those words that wanted to complain about him subconsciously swallowed back.
Even President Lu's can eat so fragrant and satisfied, what else is there to be picky about as a female star?
At first, Ye Lingxi thought that Lu Jingxing ate it so deliciously, and he deliberately ate it for her.
As a result, after eating for more than ten minutes, Lu Jingxing still looked very satisfied, and it didn't look like a fake.
Of course, except for him, all the children seemed to be satisfied with these meals, and one by one they picked up their chopsticks and eagerly ate them, looking very happy.
In fact, Ye Lingxi is not dissatisfied with these meals, when he was a child, the Shen family was too poor, and it was already a very happy thing to see two meats on the table on Chinese New Year's Eve, let alone the dishes on the table now.
It's just that although she was poor at that time, in Ye Lingxi's memory, it was her happiest time.
Because she has a father, and a brother who loves her!
In the following years, she became worry-free, and after becoming a big star, she has eaten countless delicious wines and delicacies, but she no longer has the fragrance of the piece of white-cut meat on the table in her hometown in Youlan......
Seeing that Ye Lingxi hadn't moved his chopsticks, Lu Jingxing couldn't help but stop his chopsticks and asked, "Why don't you eat all the time, do you really dislike these meals so much?"
"No, I just remembered something from the past. Ye Lingxi came back to his senses, and hurriedly took a chopstick dish with chopsticks and put it into his bowl to eat.
"Thinking of Youlanli?" Seeing through Le Ye Lingxi's thoughts at a glance, Lu Jingxing broke through.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Ye Lingxi nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that I have never eaten with so many people on Chinese New Year's Eve." Mom left us when she was very young, and there has always been only my father and brother at home, and it was deserted during the Chinese New Year. Later, my father also died, and there were even fewer people in the family. ”
"Then you are at least better than me, before my father died at the age of thirteen, there were only me and him every Chinese New Year's Eve. A table of delicacies is usually eaten in less than 10 minutes before it disperses. Then he died, and I was the only one left. Lu Jingxing said lightly, as if he was saying that this bleak situation was not what he had encountered.
Although he has known Lu Jingxing for a long time and has heard a lot of rumors, Ye Lingxi rarely heard him mention his family.
"What about your mother?" Ye Lingxi said curiously.
As soon as he mentioned his mother, Lu Jingxing held the chopsticks for a moment, slowed down his chewing movements, and finally swallowed the food in one bite, before he said disapprovingly: "Before I could remember, I was kidnapped and killed by my father's enemy." My dad was afraid that my mother's body would be used by others, so he sprinkled her ashes into the sea, and there was no cemetery. ”
Hearing such a tragic experience, Ye Lingxi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lu Jingxing beside him, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
It turns out that behind the seemingly infinite scenery, Lu Jingxing also hides so many unknown painful pasts.
"You don't have to sympathize with me, everyone has their own destiny. My mom is willing to follow someone like my dad, and she should have been prepared for this kind of thing a long time ago. She chose the path herself, and I respect her and don't think there's anything wrong with it. Seeing that Ye Lingxi didn't eat and just looked at him, Lu Jingxing said indifferently.
After listening to Lu Jingxing's words, just as Ye Lingxi was about to say something, a fierce applause suddenly sounded beside him.
Ye Lingxi raised his head, only to find that a little girl had already walked to the center of the stage in the auditorium.
Then the music started, and the eleven or twelve-year-old girls began to dance the peacock dance for everyone.
Although the dancing posture is not professional, the little girl who dances is very serious, her body is also very soft, and a peacock dance is also decent.
"Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, children will actively prepare for the festival and perform on this day. As if afraid that Ye Lingxi wouldn't understand the situation in front of him, Lu Jingxing couldn't help but explain to her.
After the little girl danced, it was a recorder performance by several children, and everyone went on stage to play a little star together.
It can be seen that the children take this performance very seriously, obviously it is just a fun show, but they are all treated as an extremely serious and important big event.
Next, some children came on stage to perform, and when Ye Lingxi was watching seriously, Aunt Fu suddenly walked up to Ye Lingxi and begged her embarrassedly: "Miss Ye, I'm sorry to disturb you." Because the kids love you, I want to ask you to come on stage and give them a show, and they will be very happy. Of course, if you find it inconvenient, you don't think I've said it. ”
Knowing that a big star like Ye Lingxi has a very high appearance fee, he will definitely not perform easily, Aunt Fu said euphemistically.
"Aunt Fu, you are polite, you can bring happiness to the children, of course I am willing. But because I haven't prepared it before, I can only sing a song to the children, so I hope you don't mind. "It's just a show, Ye Lingxi feels that there is nothing inconvenient.
Hearing Ye Lingxi's direct agreement, Aunt Fu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Ye, you are really beautiful and kind, I will thank you for the children first." ”
"Aunt Fu, if you say this again, it's going to be my turn to be embarrassed. Just a gesture, Ye Lingxi said to Aunt Fu.
"Then I'll go and prepare, Miss Ye, what song are you going to sing?" Aunt Fu is not a hypocritical person, seeing that Ye Lingxi agreed, she thought about preparing music for her.
"Whatever the children want to hear, they can sing. Ye Lingxi didn't have any requirements for what song to sing, and felt that it was better for the children to make decisions.
"Okay, then I'll go and get ready first. After getting Ye Lingxi's answer, Aunt Fu just went on the stage and ordered everyone to prepare.
When the children's performance came to an end, the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was almost finished.
It seems that because of the enthusiasm of the children, Ye Lingxi's appetite has gradually improved, and he has eaten a lot of meals, and his stomach is a little supportive.
After the children's last program ended, Aunt Fu took the stage and announced with the microphone: "Children, tell you a good news, today your sister Lingxi has decided to sing a song for everyone, so that everyone can spend this happy and beautiful night together." Now let us welcome Sister Lingxi to the stage with warm applause. ”
