Chapter 303: Ranked second
It's still a metropolitan area.
In an orphanage near the outskirts, the children poked their heads out and cast curious glances at a black car parked outside the orphanage.
The location of the orphanage is relatively remote, and there are few vehicles on weekdays, let alone such a luxurious car.
Whenever something new appears outside the orphanage, it always attracts the attention of this group of children.
At this time, in several buildings of the orphanage, the woman who had also been riding in a car followed the director of the orphanage into the office building of the orphanage.
"I don't know how to thank you," the director of the orphanage, a gentleman who looked to be over half a hundred years old, with very conspicuous gray hair on his head, "If it weren't for your funding during this time, our orphanage here might have collapsed a long time ago, and these children would probably have to be separated and placed in other shelters." ”
The dean moved a chair for the woman to sit down, and the latter smiled slightly, then pulled the chair over and sat down, "It's not my credit, in fact, whether it's the proposal to fund the orphanage or the approval of the funding, these are not up to me, if you want to express your gratitude, I can do it for you." ”
"Thank you, thank you so much," the dean made a cup of tea for her, with a smile full of joy and flattery, this is helpless, if you want to fight for better conditions for the orphanage and this group of children, then you must be so low-voiced, "I think this group of children will become more upright people in the future, to give back to the society." ”
The woman pursed her lips and smiled, picked up a cup of tea from the table, put it to her lips, took a sip politely, and then asked, "By the way, Mr. Dean, he has been ...... lately." What was it like to work in an orphanage? ”
As soon as this incident was mentioned, the director of the orphanage suddenly understood, and with a smile on his face, he answered the woman's question, "He? Don't say it, this young man is really serious about his work. Whether it's the cafeteria, hallway, classroom, or toilet, as long as the place that this young man has cleaned, it is as clean as new and spotless.
"Even an old man as picky as I am can hardly find fault in his work, and this young man's cooking is also a must, have you ever tasted the waffles he made? It tasted so good, it was so memorable......"
"Ahem," the woman cleared her throat and pulled the topic back while the dean didn't take the topic away, "So, after he works with you, both his mental state and his own state are very stable, right?" ”
The dean nodded, "That's right, it's hard to imagine that the top transcendent who can rank second in the list of ninth-order transcendents would actually come to a remote orphanage like ours and do this kind of hard work that ordinary people are not willing to do." ”
He smiled a little reluctantly, "If the child who comes out of this orphanage in the future discovers that the big brother who once lulled himself to sleep and made waffles for his lunch is actually the second top transcendent in the legend, I don't know how surprised he will be." ”
The woman's gaze swept over the dean's smiling face, then out the window, at the laughing and playful children, who had either been abandoned or had lost their parents early and were left alone.
At this time, in the playground of the orphanage, the children were surrounding a young man, smiling happily and contentedly, and playing simple games with him that even children could understand.
The young man wore a pale yellow apron with a white hooded sweatshirt and baggy jeans under the apron, and a pair of canvas shoes that looked a little faded and looked like they hadn't been changed for a long time.
The smile on his face is quite contagious, like a sun, radiating his own sunlight to the surroundings, even in the cold winter, it can make people feel the gentleness of the warm sun.
Under the sunlight, the fine fluff on the young man's face was also faintly visible, as if it was covered with a white halo.
"Brother," said one of the young men, tugging at the corner of the young man's coat, "I have a question for you." ”
The young man squatted down and bent down slightly, keeping the child's line of sight, "What's wrong?" It's not like you're wetting the bed again, are you? I already told you last time, if I ask the dormitory manager to help you secretly wash the quilt next time, you will have to eat vegetables next time. ”
The child hurriedly shook his head and whispered in the young man's ear: "No, I just heard a few teachers say that it seems that there are very powerful transcendents outside, and what can powerful transcendents do?" Can you eat cake every day? ”
Smiling slightly, the young man touched the child's head and said softly: "Of course, if you become a powerful transcendent, not only can you eat cake every day, but you can eat whatever you want." And not only to eat, you can also do a lot of things that you can't think of on your own. ”
The child's eyes lit up, "Then if I become a powerful transcendent, will my mother come back?" ”
This question really made the young man think about it for a while, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come to a conclusion, just put his hands on the boy's shoulders and said, "I can't tell you the answer to this question, only when you become a very powerful transcendent, you can know the answer yourself." ”
The child nodded as if he didn't understand, and then nodded heavily, "Hmm! I understand! After that, if I become a very powerful transcendent, I will take you to McDonald's! ”
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." The young man rubbed the child's head, then got up and let him rejoin the crowd of children.
As soon as he got up, the young man wiped the sweat on his face with his apron, turned around, and saw the woman standing behind him, the smile on his face did not decrease but increased, "Serena, why are you here?" ”
The woman known as Serena handed a bottle of warm canned coffee to the young man's hand, "I just went to the hospital to 'visit' Zeus and Odin, and they don't seem to be in good shape. ”
"Oh, I know, it seems that during the impromptu meeting, I was defeated by a transcendent person named Jiang He, right? I was also surprised. ”
Serena seemed to want to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
She was going to say, "You might have to be mentally prepared too, because if Jason is given up on that person, then that adult will definitely let you do something you don't want to do." ”
But seeing the smiling children around her, Serena couldn't say this anyway.
No matter how strong she was in front of Odin, Zeus, and Jason, she still had a lot to say in front of the young man.
"Nothing," Serena pointed to her forehead, "here, there's a yarn." ”
The young man touched his forehead, scratched the sweat-soaked wool on his forehead, and smiled embarrassedly.
The next moment, his smile seemed to twitch, and his facial expression changed for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal.
And on his lips, a wisp of blood flowed.
