“Sister Shuran, I’ve brought someone to pick up some daily necessities.”

He Yang frowned as he looked at the mottled wall in front of him. Time had left its marks on the wall. 

Was this where he was going to live in the future?

At the corner of the wall, ivy was blooming with astonishing vitality. It was climbing with all its might, and there were a few small flowers dotted on it.

He suddenly thought of Ye Xing.

Just like the ivy, she was bursting with vitality.

She did not resent the unfairness of this world because of her background. Instead, she loved this world even more.

This was his intuition.

A child like him couldn’t understand the deeper logic behind it.

He only remembered this girl called Ye Xing. Every time she smiled, it was from the bottom of her heart.

Hearing Ye Xing’s voice, a woman wearing an apron and a hat made of newspapers walked out.

The vacuum cleaner in her hand was still rumbling. It was obvious that she was cleaning up.

“Oh, it’s Ye Xing. What are you going to get this time? The batch of small blankets that were sent to the laundry room hasn’t dried yet. Did you wet the bed again last night?”

This woman who was called Sister Shuran did not look any younger than Mother Chen.

However, when the children called her sister, she would always smile happily.

When Ye Xing heard her mention this, her face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple.

She tugged on Sister Shuran’s apron anxiously and pulled it hard.

“Sister Shuran, I didn’t… I didn’t wet the bed.

There’s a new friend here today. I’m here to help him collect his things.”

As if she did not have the confidence to defend herself, she pouted and emphasized in a soft voice, “I haven’t wet the bed since last year!”

Sister Shuran was amused by her cute appearance. She turned off the vacuum cleaner and removed the rubber gloves on her hands. Only then did she rub her fluffy hair.

Ye Xing’s hair was a little rough, and the roots of her hair were a little yellow, like she was malnourished.

However, it felt very comfortable to touch.

Sister Shuran said with a smile, “Okay, okay, okay. Sister Shuran remembered wrongly, our Ye Xing has already become a big girl.” There was a hint of doting in her tone.

Ye Xing placed her hands on her waist and raised her head, as if she had done something to be proud of.

“Look, I told you I was a big girl.”

Sister Shuran laughed even louder before her gaze landed on He Yang.

“You must be He Yang. I just received a message from the front office. What a handsome young man.”

He Yang was surprised that this woman knew his name, but he still nodded politely after being praised.

“Thank you.”

Sister Shuran did not mind his cold attitude and waved her hand.

“The children who come here are all our children, you don’t have to be so polite in the future. If you need anything, let Ye Xing get it for you. She knows where it is.”

He Yang was about to thank her again, but he found that Sister Shuran had already turned her head back into the room. Not long after, the sound of a vacuum cleaner came from the room again.

The mouth that just opened closed once more.

He only thanked her silently in his heart.

He glanced towards the room. When he turned around, he realized that a huge face was almost pressed against his.

He subconsciously took a step back, “What are you doing?”

Ye Xing’s eyes, which were sparkling with light, were staring at him with a hint of shyness.

“Don’t tell anyone what you heard just now.”

Ye Xing waved her little fist as if she felt that the words were not threatening at all.

He Yang was confused.

What did he hear?

Also, did he look like the kind of person who would casually reveal others’ secrets?

He Yang felt that he had been belittled and his expression darkened.

“Childish! Bed-wetting is just a physiological reaction. Every child will experience it. What’s there to be shy about?”

As he said that, he put his hands in his pocket and walked past Ye Xing without even turning his head.

Ye Xing’s face instantly turned into a ripe apple again as she flailed her arms.

“He Yang, I already said that you’re not allowed to talk about this.”

“Oh…”
