Chapter 35: New Year in the Orphanage
It's New Year's after Christmas, but Phantom didn't plan to go to Tokyo's Shinobu house this year, and she didn't want to go to Kenya's house, so she decided to go to the orphanage to spend the New Year with the children. Regarding Phantom Glass's decision, Baishi naturally raised his hands in favor, anyway, there was Yukari who could accompany his parents at home, so he naturally accompanied Phantom Glass to go. Jibu's parents are not in Japan, and they celebrate the New Year alone every year, so he also decided to go to the orphanage with Phantom Glass. Yanagi is studying at university in Tokyo, and he is not close to home, so he naturally wants to stay in Kanagawa to accompany his family during the Chinese New Year. As for Shinobu and Kenya, because there are too many relatives in the big family and there are many things, there is no way to go.
Early in the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, the trace department drove to the orphanage with Phantom Glass and Shiraishi.
Phantom Glass had already bought a lot of food, clothes and books for the children in advance, and Baishi had also prepared some sports equipment such as basketballs and badmintoners.
Because Phantom Glass would come to the orphanage every once in a while to teach the children to read and sing, everyone was already quite familiar, and she told the orphanage a week ago that she would come to accompany the children for the New Year, so when they got there, the director, teachers and children were already waiting at the door.
"Sister Xiaoli! Brother Shiraishi! Happy New Year! β
The children were very happy to run over to greet the New Year when they saw Phantom Glass and Baishi, and when they saw the little faces and hands of the children waiting for the cold wind to be frozen red, Phantom Glass hurriedly took the children to the room to warm up.
"Happy New Year Mina! Today, my sister brought a good big brother here! After Phantom Glass finished speaking, he pushed the trace in front of the children, "This big brother is called Keigo Jibu, he is my sister's brother, and everyone is called Brother Jibu." β
"Happy New Year, Brother Jibe!" The children said hello to the traces very well.
Looking at the innocent smiling faces, the trace was suddenly very uncomfortable, he was born rich and couldn't understand what it was like to be an orphan, he said with a little unnaturalness: "Ahhhhhh β
Hearing the traces speak, Phantom Glass snickered in his heart, as the traces of the department, it is estimated that it is the first time to get along with the children in the orphanage. But she knew that Jibu was actually a good person with a hard mouth and a soft heart, or she wouldn't be so good to her sister, who was not related by blood.
"Brother, laugh at one, your expression will scare children." Phantom glass is in a good mood and jokes about the trace.
Jibu pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, revealing an extremely faint smile. Bai Shi shook his head lightly at the phantom glass, daring to talk to the trace department like this and make the trace department not angry, it is estimated that there is only the phantom glass.
Phantom pulled a reluctant trace to hand out books, clothes, and food to the children, while Shiraishi called the boys aside to take the balls off the car.
After the children got the things and thanked them politely, they went to try on their clothes, and Phantom Glass smiled and said to the traces, "Brother, do you see it?" Just something worthless can make these kids happy for a long time. When I see them happy, I feel happy. β
"You, you're just too soft-hearted. However, Uncle Ben reluctantly admits that these children are gorgeous. "Although the trace department also does good deeds regularly, but it is only a donation, and this is the first time he has done good deeds like this. He couldn't help but be a little moved when he saw the happy smiling faces of the children as they took them from him.
"The hand of the gift of roses will still have a lingering fragrance for a long time." Phantom Glass suddenly remembered this sentence from a book she had read before, and unconsciously read it out.
Hearing Phantom Glass's words, he fell into deep thought, and he seemed to understand why Phantom Glass was so keen to help these orphanage children, and he could reap different happiness while passing on love, which was a kind of satisfaction and happiness that no amount of money could buy.
Looking at the children who were smiling brightly after putting on their new clothes, Jibu secretly made a decision in his heart.
"Xiaoli, Uncle Ben wants to set up a foundation to help orphans, are you interested in helping Uncle Ben take care of this foundation after graduation?"
"Huh? I can't! Although I would also like to do something for these orphans, I really can't manage those things, and I am very powerless with numbers. Phantom Glass was pleasantly surprised to hear the words of the trace, but she couldn't help but shake her head when she remembered her poor math scores.
"Who told you that you have to settle the accounts yourself to manage the Foundation? There are special accounting personnel in charge of the accounts, you just need to see that the money is used where it should be used and not being enriched, about this, Uncle Ben can trust you! β
"But ......" Phantom Glass wanted to say something, but Baishi walked over and interrupted her in a loud voice: "Xiaoli, since the trace department can trust you, you can agree to come down." Don't you really want to do something for these kids? With the financial resources and appeal of the Ministry of Traces, if this foundation grows bigger, it can help many orphans. β
Shiraishi knew that Phantom Glass had always wanted to do something for these children, but his ability was limited. Now it is rare that the Ministry of Traces is willing to set up a foundation for these children, and he hurriedly asks Phantom Glass to agree, as a former orphan, Phantom Glass will definitely use the foundation's money for the benefit of the children fairly.
The trace department also opened his mouth to persuade: "Xiaoli, although Uncle Ben is rich, he is also hard-earned, so he naturally has to use it on the right path." You also know that Uncle Ben is very busy, and there is no way to distract himself from taking care of the Foundation. If you let someone who is completely unfamiliar take care of the foundation, can you bear to watch Uncle Ben's money being swept away? β
Phantom Glass hesitated, looking at the traces and Shiraishi's determined eyes, she finally nodded in agreement.
"Okay, but I'll have to wait until I graduate from college, I can't run a foundation right now, and I still have a lot to learn."
Seeing that Phantom Glass agreed, Jibu chuckled and said, "Ahhhhh Do you think it's that easy to start a foundation? It will take at least a few years, and you have time to learn and adapt first. β
"Xiaoli, come on!" Shiraishi gently rubbed Phantom Glass's head to cheer her up.
"Hmmm! I'll try! β
The children quickly changed into new clothes and gathered around, and everyone was very happy to have new clothes to wear, and began to talk to Phantom Glass.
"Sister Xiaoli, teach us to sing!"
"It's just, we're going to listen to Vale
ti
e KissγοΌ β
"We want to see Sister Xiaoli and Brother Shiraishi dance!"
β¦β¦
Phantom Glass hurriedly quieted the children, and then said with a smile: "The brother who plays the violin didn't come, how can he sing without accompaniment?" β
"Is there a piano?" Traces suddenly asked.
"Well, there is." Bai Shi walked to the piano with the trace, and the trace sat down, opened the lid and tried the tone, then turned his head to Phantom Glass and said, "Uncle Ben uses the piano to help you accompani, what tune do you say?" β
The children jumped up happily when they saw someone playing with them, and Phantom Glass remembered that he could play the piano, but it was really rare that he would have the interest to help with the accompaniment.
Phantom Glass calmed the children, walked over to the trace, and put "Vale
ti
e Kiss" hummed a few times, and the trail department quickly jotted down the tune.
After a while, the piano sounded, Phantom Glass and Shiraishi looked at each other and smiled, and tacitly began to sing and dance according to the previously rehearsed dance steps, and the children also sang and danced together.
"This song is gorgeous, Xiaoli, you wrote it?" The trace also thought that this song was written by Phantom Glass, because he had never heard this song.
"Hehe, of course not, I just learned it when I thought it sounded good. I've always felt that singing this song with your aristocratic voice and your cousin's deep Kansai accent is the most gorgeous! I finally heard your version today, but unfortunately my cousin wasn't there, or I could have heard him sing. "Phantom glass naturally can't say what the true origin of this song is.,Although she was very happy to hear the live version of the trace.,But it's a pity that I didn't hear the ninja version.γ
"Ahh Don't you have a piano at home? Uncle Ben has already remembered the tune, and when he comes back after the New Year, he will sing it to you! β
"Huh? Is my cousin willing to sing? β
"Uncle Ben, do you dare not listen to what Uncle Ben said?" The trace department said this with full certainty, otherwise how could he have oppressed and endured for so many years in vain.
"Wow, brother, you are really the best and gorgeous!" Phantom glass happily hugged the arm of the trace, causing the trace to chuckle very white stone, this girl is still like a child.
The Japanese eat rice cakes on New Year's Day, so after singing, Phantom left the traces and Shiraishi and took the happy children to the kitchen to cook the rice cakes with their own hands.
After Phantom Glass left, the trace department suddenly restrained his smile and said to Shiraishi seriously: "Shiraishi, what are you going to do after graduation?" β
"Maybe it's a tennis coach or a gym teacher." Shiraishi replied.
"Although Xiaoli is only the cousin of the Ninja Family, her identity in the Ninja Family is the eldest lady, and she is also the godsister publicly admitted by Uncle Ben. It's not that Uncle Ben wants to use his identity and family to pressure you, since you want to be with Xiaoli, are you sure you can provide her with a good living environment and future? And, can you stand the fingers being pointed at you? β
Shiraishi was silent. Although his family is well-off, it is no different from the difference between ants and elephants compared to Ninja and Traces, even if he becomes a tennis coach after graduating from college, he is just an ordinary person, and Phantom Glass is now the ironclad head of the fund, is such a self really worthy of Phantom Glass?
Seeing that Bai Shi stopped talking, the trace sighed faintly, it was really not that he deliberately wanted to use his identity to force Bai Shi to do something, but these problems would be encountered by the two sooner or later. Even if Phantom Glass doesn't care, but people are terrible, he is also a man, he doesn't think that Baishi will be able to stand the little white face that he is said to rely on his wife to eat, that is the biggest insult to a man!
"Shiraishi, think about it!" Kibe patted Shiraishi on the shoulder and left to help out in the kitchen.
Shiraishi was lost in thought, and he didn't come back to his senses until Phantom and the children came over with hot rice cakes. He didn't tell Phantom Glass about the conversation with the trace, but just suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and ate rice cakes with Phantom Glass.
It was soon evening, and after handing over the check to the dean, the trace department drove away with Phantom Glass and Shiraishi.
Baishi rarely didn't take the initiative to send Phantom Glass back, he got out of the car first under the pretext that something was wrong, and then asked the trace department to send Phantom Glass home. Phantom Glass agreed without much thought, and asked him to pay attention to safety on the road, and the trace department looked at him deeply before driving away.
