Chapter 37: The Orphanage (1)
Knocking lightly on the door, the three unhurried knocks on the door seem to be the exclusive use of the waiter in the tea room.
"Is anyone there?"
A deep male voice came from outside the door.
Knocking on the door of the orphanage in such a way must have been a gentleman - it wouldn't have been a door-to-door demand for electricity bills.
Thinking like this, Xiaomei, who was still holding the rice bowl in one hand, opened the door lock.
"Who?"
Opening the door, Xiaomei was dazzled by the oncoming sun.
No, the sunlight did not shine directly into her eyes, but the young man standing in the doorway.
More than 1.8 meters tall, a slightly thin body, and the outline of a face seems to have traces of knife and axe cutting.
He has a temperament on his body, like the sun that looks slightly cold in winter because of the refraction through the ice and snow.
"Ah......h
The momentary aphasia caused a vague murmur to come out of the mouth that had not yet been closed, as if it had been a century before Xiaomei remembered what she had come to do.
"Are you ......?"
Slightly covering the rice bowl in her hand, Xiaomei pushed her glasses with her other hand, trying to make a polite appearance.
"I'm Mo Xie, and this used to be my home. ”
There is nothing to hide, even if the glasses lady in front of her is someone she has never seen, but standing at the door of the orphanage, Mo Xie didn't intend to lie.
He grew up here, and this is his home.
"Mo Ye ......?"
Xiaomei frowned, she felt that she should have heard the name somewhere.
"Ahh
Looking up and down at the young man in front of her, even though Xiaomei had guessed thousands of times what the person who gave charcoal to the orphanage would look like at this juncture, she was still a little surprised when she saw his true face.
The man who was generous, who was supposed to have gone out of the orphanage and went out into the world with his own hands, was younger and more handsome than she expected.
In her earlier prediction, the person who could spend so much money to save the orphanage should probably be a middle-aged businessman with a big belly, and even his hair was turned into a 'Mediterranean' in the battle of the merchant sea.
It's just that the man in front of him obviously doesn't look like a businessman.
People who don't have the slightest smell of tobacco and alcohol on their bodies can't mix in the mall.
Judging by his appearance and figure, he should be an actor or a model......
Xiaomei's mind spun quickly, but her speculation was actually completely wrong......
"Yes, it's me. May I ask ...... you?"
When Xiaomei was looking at Mo Ye, Mo Ye was also looking at this girl.
"I don't think I've seen this girl before. ”
After going through his memories, Mo Ye came to a clear conclusion.
"I'm Xiaomei, and now I'm volunteering in an orphanage—well, that's pretty much it......" Xiaomei stepped out of the way and made a 'please' gesture to Mo Ye.
"This man's voice is so good. ”
If it was Lin Ming who was outside at this time, he would be able to hear this sentence ringing in the woman's heart.
After strengthening the bloodline, Mo Ye's voice changed, after all, the means of strengthening this time were really unbearable.
His voice was now slightly hoarse, and he always seemed to have a hint of weariness.
Does that sound good?
Mo Xie didn't know, but maybe some people would like such a hoarse voice......
"I'm coming back this time to pick up some things that I left behind when I left the orphanage, Miss Xiaomei, did Aunt Wang tell you?"
Entering the door, the temperature indoors is always higher than that outside, Mo Ye asked Xiaomei.
If you finish things early, you can leave early, Mo Ye plans to find a deep mountain that is inaccessible, so as not to kill people too conveniently.
This unlucky kid has never thought about entering the 'Heavenly Realm' to improve his strength until now.
Are you sure this 'passable' guy will really survive the next mission world?
The Holy Texts expressed concern about this, and at the same time, it silently removed some of the low-difficulty tasks from the list.
Is this the rhythm of burying Mo Xie in the next mission world and then changing the master?!
Are profiteers finally going to set off on the road of making money and killing people?!
However, Mo Ye didn't know all this at the moment, and in the same way, it was estimated that he wouldn't want to know what kind of task list he would get when the one-month deadline was up.
"Ah......" Xiaomei seemed to be the first time she had received such a title as 'Miss Xiaomei', and she had gotten it from a handsome man, she paused for a moment before she said, "I'm sorry, Aunt Wang didn't tell me, why don't you tell me which room you lived in before, and I'll take you to see it?" ”
The uncertain tone is completely opposite to Xiaomei's usual vigorous and resolute behavior of the 'female man'.
She lowered her head and made a small gesture to put her rice bowl on the shoe rack behind the orphanage's door.
"Okay. Mo Xie walked in front of Xiaomei, "I used to live on the second floor, and the third room on the left hand side of the staircase is. ”
Skillfully moving the aisles of the orphanage, Mo Ye, who grew up here, knows every detail of this building well.
The first floor of the orphanage is a kitchen, laundry room, and auditorium, where children can move and eat, and the second floor and above are where children live.
The orphanage has a total of five floors, and the only thing that cannot be used after inheriting the old building is the top floor.
Because the walls of the fifth floor are broken, most of the time the fifth floor is closed.
"This is it. ”
Turning the staircase, there were a few children who had just come down from the dinner table, who didn't seem to need to read in the morning, and who had their own things on hand. Even Xiaomei, who followed him, also shared this gaze that was like visiting a zoo.
Fortunately, the experience didn't last long, and Mo Ye soon arrived at the room where he had stayed.
"Ah...... There are already people living here, and it should be Hei Zai and Xiao Ming who live here. Xiaomei, who was robbed of her position as a guide, made a cameo appearance as a 'narrator', "Hmm...... Just remember these two for now...... It's all unreassuring guys......"
But what she didn't know was that in fact, she didn't even have to explain, Mo Ye had already understood everything.
The man just didn't want to take it without telling him, and at the same time, he had something he wanted to ask those who watched him grow up.
It's not something that can be figured out about his origins by finding a relic in his life.
