Chapter 18: Chen Xi

Carrying a bag of snacks, Chen An walked to the iron door of the welfare home.

The iron door is rusty, and there are six large plaques hanging from the top.

Sunflower Welfare House.

Through this large iron gate, you can see some flowers and plants planted in the back yard, which are full of greenery and gratifying.

In the open space of the yard, several children were running around, frolicking, and it seemed that they were playing a game of eagle catching chickens.

Chen An stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the iron door made a dull sound.

There was a pause in the sound of children playing behind the door, and then a little chubby pier's eyes lit up, and he ran over with his little short legs open.

With the creak of the iron door, the little chubby face was revealed.

He saw that it was Chen An, and the next second he caught a glimpse of the red plastic bag he was carrying, and he couldn't help but grin at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly burst into joy.

Little Fat Dun first shouted at the yard, full of anger.

"Brother Chen An is back!"

Then there was a head hammer towards the young man, but he was picked up by Chen An with his backhand, and he weighed the weight by the way.

"Little watermelon, you're getting fatter."

The boy called Little Watermelon raised his head unconvinced, "What do you know, I call it a sense of security, when I grow up, eat more, and I can knock the stinky boy in the next class away with one punch!" ”

He said, waving his chubby little fist.

Although the appearance of being carried in the air is a little funny, the little face is still full of domineering.

His shout also attracted a group of other children, who saw Chen An and immediately ran over and happily circled around the boy.

Chen An greeted them one by one.

He handed them the red plastic bag and asked them to distribute it themselves.

"Where's Grandpa Dean?"

Hearing the question, Little Watermelon stretched out his hand and pointed to the kitchen on the left side of the courtyard.

"You're cooking us dinner!"

Chen An nodded, turned around and advised, "Then you are not allowed to eat snacks now, wait until you finish dinner and eat at night when you are hungry." ”

"Slightly, I don't!"

Xiao Fat Dun made a grimace, and then hugged his share, for fear that Chen An would rob him, and ran to the back of the Chase shop.

When the other children saw this, they also did the same, and ran fast.

What if Brother Chen An repents?

Although Brother Chen An always brings snacks back every time and never takes them back, this is the world of children.

Of course, Chen An didn't chase it.

He looked at the heat from the chimney, thought for a moment, and instead of going directly to the kitchen, he turned and walked towards the classroom on the right.

The layout and facilities of the orphanage are simple.

A classroom for studying, a kitchen, a bunk that sleeps together, and the small courtyard where it is standing right now.

In addition to the toilet in the corner and some sports facilities in the open space of the hospital, these are all there is to the Sunflower Welfare Home.

The classroom is used for the children in the welfare home to enlighten the mind, there are no subject teachers, only the dean's grandfather will start classes regularly.

It's the equivalent of a kindergarten.

When the children are older, they will be sent to the town's primary school.

For example, the little watermelon that opened the door for Chen An is in the first grade of the town primary school this year.

Chen An walked up the steps, and a girl was sitting in the corner of the classroom.

Her white dress was slightly yellowed, and her long, silky hair hung down to her shoulders.

The girl crossed her hands on the table and buried her head in it, even if Chen An walked up to her, she didn't look up.

Asleep......

Chen An smiled and reached out to poke at the exposed half of her little face.

Bouncy, slippery, and full.

The girl was awakened and looked up.

The other half of his face, which was covered by his long hair, was revealed.

It was the exact opposite of the face on the left.

Hideous, twisted scars, dark, rough skin, covered with eschar.

If on the left is the face of an angel, on the right is a monster that will startle anyone who sees it.

The girl's eyes were closed, and her voice was hoarse.

"Brother Chen An, is that you?"

The fire took away not only the girl's angelic face, but also the right to 'see'.

Luckily, she survived.

Unfortunately, she was the only one who survived.

"It's me, Xiaoxi."

Chen An spoke softly.

The girl smiled when she heard this.

Unfortunately, because of the burned half of his face and the lack of eyebrows, the smile looked very weird.

Even the last sentence of horror is not an exaggeration.

Chen Xi stretched out his arms and stretched them out to the sides.

Chen An understood, stepped forward to grab the girl's thin waist, and gently hugged her off the chair.

The girl's name is Chen Xi, she is 14 years old, and she came to the welfare home 10 years ago.

Although he has the same surname as Chen An, the two are not related by blood.

When she first came to the welfare home, because of her appearance and blindness, children of the same age in the welfare home often had to walk around when they saw her.

It's like seeing a monster, and I'm scared to death.

Although they would not take the initiative to bully Chen Xi, they did not dare to get too close to her, let alone play happily together.

They would also secretly talk in private, saying that the welfare home had accepted a monster in.

Fortunately, Chen An was sensible early at that time, and he paid attention to this new girl and often took care of it.

Sometimes the dean's grandfather was too busy, such as feeding Chen Xi or helping her wash up, all of which Chen An helped do.

Slowly, Chen Xi gradually got used to the life of being a blind man and learned to dress and eat by himself.

A poor kid indeed.

But how many of the children born in the welfare home can have true happiness?

I'm afraid that only those who are well-behaved and happen to be adopted by the rich can make up for some regrets.

In fact, when Chen An was a child, he was often favored by the rich Mrs. Kuo.

In order to show their sincerity, those women with very mature charm also drove supercars to the welfare home several times, and even fought for Chen An's adoption rights, but they did not succeed in the end.

They were all rejected by Xiao Chen An.

Chen An squatted down, gently took the girl into his arms, and then took out a chocolate stick from his pocket.

He tore open the package and let out a thud.

Chen Xi obediently opened his mouth.

"Is it delicious?"

The girl eats very slowly, chewing slowly.

When she heard Chen An's inquiry, she shook her head and said, "It's too sweet, I don't like it." ”

Chen An was stunned when he heard this, this was the first time he brought chocolate to Chen Xi, and he thought that girls of this age would like it.

He rubbed the girl's hair, "If it's not delicious, then don't eat it, and give it to the little watermelon later, he specifies that he likes to eat it." ”

As he spoke, Chen An wanted to put away the chocolate.

A small, weak hand reached out and grabbed his wrist.

"No, you can't."

Chen Xi shook his head again, "This is mine." ”

"Okay, yours."

Chen An smiled and returned the chocolate to her.
