Chapter 80: The Past

Even though she slowly recounted her hesitations, Mingyue always looked into the distance, not daring to let the dean see her melancholy eyes.

But the dean understands everything, and because she understands, she cherishes this kind girl from the bottom of her heart.

The dean didn't interject, just quietly being a competent listener.

From beginning to end, Mingyue didn't mention a single bit about Jin Haofeng.

When the silence fell again, the dean just patted Mingyue's hand affectionately, the back of her hand had spots accumulated over the years, and her palm made Mingyue's heart warm.

"You are a smart child, and I believe you understand that there is too much helplessness in life, and some people, even if they make mistakes, do not do it intentionally. Hatred can only make people feel physically and mentally exhausted, and make people lose themselves. ”

The dean said this to Mingyue before leaving, her tone was unhurried, with a kind of wisdom and tolerance that saw through everything after a thousand sails had passed.

After finishing speaking, she got up and left first, she knew that Mingyue at this time, as usual, needed time alone to miss those past.

Mingyue knew that the dean also had difficulties, after all, Haoxi and Jin Haofeng were both children she had taken care of with love, and it was indeed difficult for her to judge who was right and who was wrong with absolute fairness.

Looking at the back of the dean's departure, Mingyue remembered the first time she met her many years ago, when her kind eyebrows and kind eyes made Mingyue feel very kind when she was a child.

The first time I came to the Sacred Heart Orphanage, it was a group of four that their family came to visit.

At that time, Mingyue was still young, and her grandfather said that it was the place where Haoxi and Haofeng lived, with their families and many friends of the same age.

When she arrived, she was held in her arms by a grandmother with eyes, who had just left the Sacred Heart Orphanage.

Mingyue felt that this big family was really lively, and she happily pulled Jin Haoxi and Jin Haofeng and asked them to take her on a tour and introduce new friends to herself.

Time flies, year after year, and for a long time, she has lost count of the number of times she has visited here.

Once upon a time, she and Haoxi came together, and slowly in the orphanage, some of the familiar playmates have left and never returned, and some have become the pillars of society.

Unconsciously, she also grew up and became the "Sister Mingyue" in the children's mouth.

For more than ten years, Mingyue and Haoxi have witnessed the orphanage getting better and better with the support of well-wishers, and of course, there is no lack of strong support from JM Group.

Directly east of the orphanage, a three-story white building is a dormitory for children, which JM invested in five years ago.

Almost every time you come here, Mingyue can see its rapid changes and exude vitality. Every time, I can see unfamiliar faces, and more and more volunteers join the ranks of dedication.

Sadly, the number of abandoned children has not decreased over time......

Mingyue once strolled in the courtyard with Haoxi, looking at some children with limited mobility, she made up her mind that no matter what happened in the future, she would often come to visit the children and give them as much love as possible with her meager strength.

At that time, Haoxi liked to hold her in his arms, and the tenderness in his eyes was bottomless, and he always said, "My Yue'er, sometimes childish, sometimes kind to impeccable, such you, I have no ability to leave the ...... for the rest of my life"

Mingyue giggled, it was because she was so happy that she did not hesitate to dedicate her kindness.

Today, the memories of the beginning are still vivid, but her life is a mess.

For a long time, Mingyue fell into a collapse and contradictions, she went crazy, desperately looking for all the traces left by Haoxi, and deliberately avoided this place in fear.

Because she knew that the original Haoxi, who she didn't have time to meet, never left, and there was a residual breath of him in the air, which was clearly in the bottom of her heart, but she couldn't hold every bit of it. Mingyue once naively deceived herself, as long as she didn't face this tragic reality, she would still be a lawless princess who was spoiled by Haoxi......

No one understands how much courage it takes for the bright moon to come here again on a sunny morning. That day, she wept like a child, and the dean accompanied her wordlessly, listening to her recount all her emotions of sadness, anger, extremism, and longing.

When everything calmed down and it was already sunset, Mingyue felt powerless like prostration, because the pain was raging to the hearty.

On that day, the dean told her that there are always people in life who will have to leave, but as long as you keep it in mind, he is actually always there.

At that moment, it was like an empowerment, the bright moon looked around in a daze, the treetops swaying in the wind, the slowly dissipating sunset, the fine dust that flowed, and the dormitory building that had been rebuilt a long time ago, even if things were not human, they were still beautiful in her eyes.

Mingyue clearly knew that maybe in a few years, maybe in the near future, this place would be built even better, and at that time, she might never be able to find evidence of Haoxi's existence!

In the corridor, Mingyue's footsteps echoed, like a low tune played by a cello.

The snow-white walls are hung with frames of various sizes, and a large number of them have been slightly yellowed, showing their age.

Before a group photo, Mingyue stopped, it was still in the memory, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the little boy's immature face......

The people in the photo are Jin Zhenlin, the director of the orphanage, Jin Haoxi and Jin Haofeng when they were children, and several teachers who took the two of them who were waiting for her at the door today.

More than ten years have passed, and everyone's faces have changed, her grandfather's eyebrows were more heroic at that time, and what has not changed is the fraternity of the dean and the teachers.

There seems to be a hand, through the boundary of life and death, covered in the fingertips of the bright moon, as if ten fingers are interlocked, separated from reality and illusion, it is a gentleness that can no longer be had.

**********

Intensive care unit at Boren Hospital.

The ticking of the clock echoed lonely, and the vast white room was as empty as death, and the sound of a face falling off its roots felt unusually harsh.

Jin Haofeng stood motionless by the window, his slender back revealing the indifference and alienation of the unapproachable.

The wide hospital gown made him unusually thin, and his originally cool face seemed to be even more cold, but the eyes no longer flashed sharply, but were replaced by thick tiredness and despair and sadness that should not have appeared at his age.

Looking down at the shadowy pedestrians downstairs, Jin Haofeng thought in a trance, if he jumped from here, would Mingyue be a little sad, even if he wouldn't miss him, would he be able to remember him forever?
