Chapter 55: The Orphanage
Chen Yanyan lowered her head a little disappointed.
After a brief introduction, it was time for them to move freely, Chen Yanyan divided them into groups, and then let the groups do their own things.
Gu Mou was not assigned a task because he accompanied Mo Ran to take a look, and Mo Ran was assigned the task of helping the children take their books out of the warehouse and then classify them.
It's not a very difficult task, but after a brief exchange with another boy in the same group, the process was finalized.
The boy came to carry the books, and Mo Ran waited outside to sort the books.
These books are donated by the outside love acquaintance, and there are books of any kind, and after Mo Ran simply sorted them, he felt a long-lost sense of satisfaction.
As soon as she looked up, she found that Gu Mou was actually helping her sort these books.
A big president of the Gu Group, condescended to come to this small orphanage to visit, even if he still did these simple jobs?
Chen Yanyan looked at Gu Mou's back, a little distracted.
But Mo Ran didn't have a superfluous expression, just picked up a book and shook it in front of Gu Mou, and then said, "It's wrong." ”
Gu Mou raised his eyes and looked at the book, and found that it was a textbook that was some years old, but he put it in the pile of extracurricular books, so he raised his eyebrows and chuckled, and said, "Hmm." ”
After Mo Ran caught Gu Mou's little mistake, she was still a little happy, she said: "I didn't miss a single time. ”
Gu Mou touched his hair: "Well, it's very powerful." ”
A very shallow smile appeared on Mo Ran's face, which made Gu Mou's mood much better, and he said, "The children here don't seem to be doing very well. ”
"Yes." The smile on Mo Ran's face faded, "After all, it's an orphanage, not as good as those children with complete families." ”
After Gu Mou saw the faint smile on Mo Ran's face, he reached out and patted her head gently, and then said, "Despite this, I still want to believe that they will have their own lives in the future." ”
Mo Ran nodded, and then began to continue to pack up the pile without saying a word.
It took about ten minutes before they finished sorting out the books in the open space.
Chen Yanyan found a few male volunteers with more strength, moved the books into the temporary warehouse of the orphanage, and then looked at some confetti on the ground, and began to pick up a broom to sweep it herself.
Mo Ran didn't stand dry, but like Chen Yanyan, he carefully cleaned every corner with a broom.
Chen Yanyan looked at Mo Ran's silent but hard-working appearance, and a smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Mo Ran." ”
Mo Ran shook his head, and then said, "These are the things I should do. ”
The two of them were next to each other, far away from Gu Mou, Chen Yanyan raised her head and cautiously glanced at him who was helping to calculate the bills, then turned her head and asked Mo Ran in a low voice: "I remember that man...... It's the president of the Gu Group, right? How can you deign to come and help in our little orphanage......"
Mo Ran didn't want to talk to Chen Yanyan about this topic, so he said perfunctorily: "Because I have nothing to do during this time, it's just boring." ”
"Oh? Then you know him well! I saw that he sent you here in the afternoon......" Chen Yanyan stared at Mo Ran, her eyes were a little hot, and she asked, "Gu Mou, is it your boyfriend?" ”
After hearing Chen Yanyan's words, Mo Ran's sweeping hand paused, and he was silent for five seconds, not knowing how to answer Chen Yanyan's question.
What are she and Gu Mou now?
Nominally, Gu Mou's mother adopted her, so she should be Gu Mou's sister now, but ......
Mo Ran lowered her eyes, she recalled Gu Mou's hot kiss a long time ago, and that warm embrace.
That's not true.
Gu Mou has never regarded Mo Ran as his sister.
That absurd wedding ended in embarrassment, and now I think about it, I also have a feeling of being in a different world.
Chen Yanyan's question sounded like a whisper between little girls, but it made Mo Ran face a choice very really.
At that time, when Yu Yang was still there, he told her: If you like it, you should chase it directly, don't think about it so much. Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Mo Ran has always felt that this sentence is very reasonable.
After the misunderstanding between the two people was resolved, Gu Mou's attitude towards her was not as cold as before.
Do you want to find a time to talk to Gu Mou?
Mo Ran thought about it in a daze, and told him what he really thought, and what he ...... Like.
Chen Yanyan saw Mo Ran in a daze, thinking that she didn't like others to ask her about this topic, so she stopped talking in time and didn't ask any more.
And Mo Ran finally made up his mind to tell Gu Mou his true thoughts at a suitable time.
At this time, the bell for the end of class in the orphanage suddenly rang, and a group of children ran out of the previous building, and soon gathered in groups on the concrete clearing, each playing their own game.
Mo Ran looked at the children and asked, "Do they still need to go to class?" ”
"Yes." Chen Yanyan replied, "But it's not a formal school, but a few volunteers who volunteered to stay and teach their ......."
Speaking of this, Chen Yanyan's expression was a little lost: "The children want to go to school, but the orphanage has received too little money to pay their tuition." ”
When Mo Ran heard about this, he turned his head and looked at these children blankly.
Suddenly, she thought of Xiao Yue.
How long has that girl who always loves to laugh been separated from herself?
Gu Mou had mentioned Xiaoyue before, she was working hard to prepare for the high school entrance examination, hoping to be admitted to the school she liked by her own efforts, so during this time, she lived alone next to the school, Gu Mou rented a house for her, and she didn't know everything that happened to them during this time.
It was already evening, the children's classes had ended, and the director of the orphanage had returned by car at this time, she was a short and fat woman, but with a kind face, and her silver hair was neatly combed, which made people feel good at first sight.
Chen Yanyan introduced to the volunteers: "This is the director of the orphanage, Li Ping, everyone should call her Dean Li." ”
Li Ping looked at the newly added volunteers, smiled gratefully, and planned to keep them down for dinner, but Gu Mou whispered in Mo Ran's ear: "I may have to go back in the evening, Aunt Li is already preparing dinner." ”
Gu Mou's breath spread next to Mo Ran's ears, the smell of men's perfume that made her extremely familiar caused her heart to beat rapidly, the roots of Mo Ran's ears were a little red, she tried her best to maintain an expressionless appearance, and nodded slowly.
Gu Mou's gaze moved away from the roots of her red ears, and then said softly, "Are you shy?" ”
"I didn't." Mo Ran replied quickly, with a hint of wanting to cover up, and she herself realized this, so she quickly turned around and said, "Let's go back quickly." ”
Gu Mou's tone sounded very pleasant, and he nodded and said, "Hmm." ”
After briefly explaining the situation to Dean Li, Gu Mou left with Mo Ran.
Gu Mou drove the car back to the house, at this time, Aunt Li had just cooked a meal, and after the two of them simply ate a little something, Gu Mou was called away by a phone call, and Mo Ran was also continuing to clean up the small garden with Aunt Li.
The next morning, Mo Ran received a text message from Chen Yanyan, telling her that she had a half-day break this afternoon, and the orphanage organized the children to go out, so there was no need to help today.
After Mo Ran replied with two words, he found that there was nothing to do today.
She watered the flowers a little in the small garden, and then received a call from Gu Mou.
"Hello?" Mo Ran chose to connect, and then put the phone to his ear and asked in a low voice.
"Are you going to help out at the orphanage today?" Gu Mou asked on the other end of the phone.
"I just received the news, Chen Yanyan said that there is no need to help in the afternoon." Mo Ran replied honestly.
After Gu Mou listened, he pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Then go out with me in the afternoon, there is an art exhibition on Shidong Road, you can go and see it with me." ”
There was some confusion in Mo Ran's voice, and she asked, "Art exhibition?" ”
"Hmm." Gu Mou said: "It's an art exhibition, and a lot of people from home and abroad have been invited to it, so you just don't have anything to do today, so let's go and see it together, just take it as a distraction." ”
Because Mo Ran has lived with Yu Yang for a while, she also has a good impression of the art exhibition, and after thinking about it, she agreed: "Okay." ”
Gu Mou's tone sounded a little satisfied, and he said, "Okay, then you clean up, and I'll pick you up at noon." ”
"Hmm." Mo Ran replied obediently.
After the two agreed, they hung up the phone. Mo Ran continued to turn around and fiddle with the pots of flowers she had newly bought, and then suddenly, she paused as she stroked the leaves.
She and Gu Mou agreed to go to the exhibition together......
Mo Ran felt that her cheeks were a little hot, and she thought inappropriately: "Could it be that this is a date?" ”
Mo Ran became a little uneasy because of this incident all morning, and after she stayed up for a few hours, she finally stayed up to the moment when Gu Mou came to pick her up.
After Gu Mou saw Mo Ran, he found that her expression seemed to be a little wrong, and after quietly observing for a while, Gu Mou asked, "Your face seems to be a little wrong, is something wrong?" ”
