Du Muhan leaned against a tree, silently watching the small orphanage which had suddenly become bustling. His sight fell on the girl at the edge of the small playground, who was watching a mute uncle and an old lady in her sixties distributing new clothes and gifts to the children.
A black mid-length waisted leather jacket, a black skirt, and black boots, the whole outfit is stylish and exquisite, but it seems a bit out of place with the broken walls of the courtyard and the dilapidated houses around it.
Even the expression on her face looked a little cold, with a hint of keeping strangers away, but no matter whether it was the elderly, the mute uncle, or the children with various disabilities, whenever they looked at her, the smile on her face could melt everything, and the admiration, respect, and charity in her eyes seemed to overflow.
Here, she is the old man’s child, the idol of those children, their most important relative, and the person they can trust and rely on wholeheartedly.
Su Qiao actually didn't want to appear too cold, but she had always had such an awkward personality. She seemed to be more accustomed to other people's indifference towards her, but when someone spoke sweetly to her or praised her, she would feel uncomfortable all over.
If she changed too much suddenly, she would be afraid of being suspected and the dean and the children would not be used to it, so she could only try her best to act like her original self.
Although she didn't show any expression, she looked at the children's eyes that were full of longing for praise, and couldn't help but reach out to touch their heads and teach them some common sense.
The children did not expect her gentle comfort, and they all smiled even brighter. Some of the little ones even bravely ran over and hugged her legs.
It was only after the old dean persuaded her that he finally let her go.
Su Qiao spent some time helping the children install the TV, and promised to bring them a computer next time, connect the Internet cable, and teach them how to take online classes. He also stuffed an envelope of money into the old dean's pocket before saying goodbye to them.
Amid the children's reluctant looks, she and Du Muhan drove away from the welfare home.
"Do you come here often?" Du Muhan handed her a bottle of mineral water while driving.
Su Qiao took the water and took two sips. "Not often. After I went abroad, I only gave some money to the director's grandmother every month. After I returned to China, I only came once a month."
"Children here are mostly born with physical defects. Even if we have money, most of them cannot go to school. We can only buy some books for them to study on their own."
"But fortunately, they are all very optimistic and face life positively and seriously, which makes me feel relieved."
This is probably largely thanks to the good guidance of President Wu.
At this point, Su Qiao turned around and looked at him: "In fact, in this life, people will encounter many unpleasant things. The only way to let go of yourself is to let go of the bad things and think more about the good things."
The past cannot be changed. The only way to make peace with yourself is to let yourself go and live a good life.
"Of course, letting go of the past does not mean that you must forgive those who have hurt you. Some people do not deserve to be forgiven."
Du Muhan was stunned for a moment, then he understood the purpose of her bringing him here today.
At this moment, a warm current slowly flowed through my heart, and I suddenly felt that I really cared too much about the past.
His body is growing, but his spiritual world seems to have stayed in the past, and has never left.
