Chapter 60 Looking at the Dean
After driving for almost 4 hours, Chu Molin and Wu Tongyu finally arrived at their destination - J City. Under the guidance of Wu Tongyu, the two drove to the "Sunflower Orphanage".
Wu Tongyu sat in the car and looked out of the window at the familiar street, the familiar scene, the familiar "hometown people", everything is still so kind. When a sycamore tree fell into Wu Tongyu's eyes from afar, she felt a surging thought hitting her, and the past made her cry one by one.
Chu Molin and Wu Tongyu arrived at their final destination, and Chu Molin parked his car outside the door of the Sunflower Orphanage. Wu Tongyu opened the door and got out of the car. Chu Molin picked up her black down jacket and red hat and scarf and walked towards her. While helping her put on a down jacket, a hat and a scarf, he said with concern:
"Don't catch a cold."
Wu Tongyu looked at Chu Molin, who was wearing clothes and hats for himself, and a warm current surged through the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you! Mo Lin."
"Fool, you never have to say thank you to me." Chu Molin pinched her cheek and said with a smile.
Wu Tongyu felt that Chu Molin's hands were cold and found that he only cared about taking care of himself, but he was wearing very thin clothes and got out of the car directly.
"You should also put on your coat and look! Your hands are cold."
"It's okay! I'm very strong. You put it on first.
After Chu Molin helped Wu Tongyu wear it, he returned to the car and picked up his black coat and put it on.
Wu Tongyu looked at the sycamore tree outside the door of the orphanage and sighed with emotion. She slowly walked to the sycamore tree and sat down on the wooden stool under the tree.
"Mo Lin, do you know the age of this sycamore tree and this wooden stool?"
Wu Tongyu asked Chu Molin, who was standing beside him, with a smile.
Chu Molin looked at the thick sycamore tree in front of him and the ground wooden stool.
"This should be a number of years!"
"Hmm! I heard from Dean He that I had it when I was born.
"Oh! It's longer than our age!"
Chu Molin observed carefully around the sycamore tree.
Wu Tongyu looked at Chu Molin with a smile and said calmly:
"Molin, you must be curious! Why didn't I go home and come here during the holiday?
Chu Molin looked at Wu Tongyu and said, "I don't~." Without finishing his words, Chu Molin hurriedly swallowed back and immediately changed his words and said, "Yes! I was just about to ask you? Why are you here?"
Chu Molin thought to himself: It's okay to be exposed! I'm quick-witted, otherwise I don't know how to explain it.
Chu Molin has long known that Wu Tongyu grew up in an orphanage. He asked Xiao Pang to investigate Wu Tongyu's background. He went to the wooden stool, sat next to Wu Tongyu, and listened to her narration silently.
"Molin, in fact, I don't have a home. I don't know who my parents are, let alone where they are now. I have spent my time in this orphanage since I was a child. Wu Tongyu pointed to the door of the orphanage and said.
"Oh! No wonder you respect Dean He so much. She must have raised you!" Chu Molin pretended to be surprised.
"Molin, you're right. Without Dean He, I don't know whether I'm alive or dead now! Not to mention going to college and learning painting. For me, Dean He is like a kind mother who gives me warmth; he is also like my enlightenment teacher who tells me how to be a human being; more like the enlightenment lamp I walk on the road of life, guiding me to the way forward.
"Hmm!"
"Do you know? The wooden stool we are making now, 19 years ago, Dean He found me on this wooden bench. Dean He hugged me who had just been born and took me back to the orphanage.
"Is this wooden stool?" Chu Molin pointed to the wooden stool he was sitting on.
"Hmm! At that time, it was drizzling, my wet clothes were wet, and a lot of purple sycamore flowers fell on my body. Thinking about it, it was quite a beautiful picture! The only thing on my body is a jade pendant, which is the one you picked up, with my date of birth engraved on it. Wu Tongyu said with a funny smile.
Chu Molin looked at Wu Tongyu's seemingly smiling face and imagined what Wu Tongyu said about the "beautiful picture". He didn't feel beautiful, but felt sad.
"How many days were you born at that time?"
"Well, I heard from Dean He that I found that my date was April 15th, and my birthday was April 5th. In this case, it was the day I was born 10 days ago."
Chu Molin looked at Wu Tongyu with a calm face. She didn't know if her heart was as quiet as her appearance, but her heart could not be calm. The baby, who was only 10 days old, was ruthlessly abandoned by her parents. No matter what the reason was, it was unforgivable.
"Hasn't your parents ever visited you?"
Wu Tongyu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No!"
"Do you want to see your parents?"
Wu Tongyu was silent for a while, then looked at Chu Molin and said faintly, "Maybe it's not so important to me now. When I needed them most, I didn't know where they were. I don't understand why I have to leave a jade pendant that makes people miss it since it has been like this for 19 years. Now that I have decided to give up, it's better to be clean and don't leave anything behind. I won't be nervous about this jade pendant.
"Actually, you still want to see it from the bottom of your heart!"
"I don't know."
"How about we find your parents together?"
"Are we looking for them? Isn't it easier for them to come to me, but they don't come, which means they don't want to come at all.
"Maybe something unexpected happened in the middle. If your parents really don't like you, they won't leave you a precious jade pendant." Chu Molin analyzed.
"Maybe it's because of guilt!"
"I know you are now a knife mouth and a tofu heart. In fact, you have been looking forward to seeing them in your heart. Otherwise, you would not be so nervous when you lost your jade pendant at that time."
"But how can we find it! There is a vast sea of people. Where can I find it?
"Dean He should know some clues."
Wu Tongyu suddenly patted his forehead, "Look at me! After chatting, I actually forgot the business. I came to visit Dean He. Go quickly.
"Hey! You and Dean He can stay together for many days, but I'm going back soon. You can't see me for many days. Don't you miss me!"
Wu Tongyu laughed with a grunt.
"What a childish! Of course I will miss you very much! There is no need to ask! Do you want to go in?"
"It's all here. Of course, let's take a look at Dean He."
"Let's go!" Wu Tongyu said with a smile.
"Wait!"
"What's the matter?"
"I haven't taken the gift you bought for Dean He yet?" Chu Molin reminded.
"Yes! Thank you, Molin, for reminding me.
"Wait, I'll get it."
Chu Molin said and returned to the car and took out the gift given by Wu Tongyu to Dean He from the car.
Wu Tongyu and Chu Molin walked into the "Sunflower Orphanage" together, and they came outside President He's office. Wu Tongyu tidied up his clothes and hair and asked Chu Molin to examine whether his appearance was inappropriate. After reading it carefully, Chu Molin smiled and said, "Very good! You are really cute in the hat and scarf I gave you.
"Ha ha!"
Wu Tongyu gently knocked on the door of the office, and a familiar voice came from it. "Come in." Wu Tongyu opened the door with a smile and walked into the office. She saw Dean He sitting at his desk with reading glasses and working hard.
"President He! I'm here to celebrate the New Year with you!" Wu Tongyu said with a smile.
Dean He slowly raised his head and took off his reading glasses. When he saw Wu Tongyu, he stood up happily and excitedly. Wu Tongyu strode forward, hugged the kind Dean He, and said coquettishly like a child, "Dean He, I miss you so much!"
Let Wu Tongyu's long-awaited embrace always be so warm and safe.
"Xiaoyu, I miss you too. Let me take a good look at you. Are you thin or fat? Is it black or white?" President He said with a kind smile.
Wu Tongyu stood up straight and waited for President He's review, just like when he was a child.
Dean He pinched Wu Tongyu's arms and shoulders and gently stroked her cheeks and hair.
"It's dark and thin, but the body is stronger than before." Dean He said with wet eyes.
"Dean He, you don't know that I exercise every day. If you don't believe it, you can touch the muscles on my body."
Wu Tongyu said and made a strongman's action.
"Ha ha! I believe, I believe."
Dean He touched Wu Tongyu's arm with a smile.
"Dean He, I bought you a gift."
Wu Tongyu said and handed the gift in Chu Molin's hand to Dean He.
"Who is this?" President He asked doubtfully.
"That's right, Dean He, I forgot to introduce it to you. This is my classmate. His name is Chu Molin."
"Hello! Dean He." Chu Molin politely stretched out his hand to Dean He.
"Hello! Hello! This young man is so energetic!" Dean He said with a smile.
"Ha ha! Thank you, President He, for your praise. Chu Molin said with a smile.
"How did you get here?"
"Well, my classmate drove here, and I took his ride."
"Oh, where are you going?"
"I~, I'm going to K City." Chu Molin glanced at Wu Tongyu and said.
"Oh! That's a long way to go!"
"It's okay, Dean He. I'll drive. I'll be there soon."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet? Dean He, after you said that, I was really a little hungry and began to shout. Wu Tongyu said coquettishly.
"Go! Let's go to dinner first."
President He took Wu Tongyu and Chu Molin to the canteen for dinner. The three of them ate happily and chatted.
After dinner, Chu Molin said goodbye to Dean He.
"Dean He, I'll see Chu Molin off. Wait for me and I'll be right back."
"Xiao Yu, go!"
Wu Tongyu and Chu Molin walked to the door of the orphanage together. Chu Molin took Wu Tongyu's luggage from the car.
"Alas!" Chu Molin sighed and didn't say anything.
Wu Tongyu knew what Chu Molin was thinking. She looked around and saw no one. She gently kissed Chu Molin on the cheek.
Chu Molin looked at the shy Wu Tongyu with a comfortable face, held her in his arms, and gently kissed her hair, forehead, cheeks, and her soft lips.
"Okay! I'm going back." Chu Molin said reluctantly.
"Drive slowly on the road and call me when you arrive."
"Uh-huh!"
Chu Molin got into the car and left quickly. He was afraid that if he stayed for an extra second, he would change his attention and not want to go back.
Wu Tongyu saw Chu Molin go away. It was not until the cool sports car disappeared from her sight that she returned to the orphanage.
