On the fifth day of the first month, Su Qiao An went to the orphanage alone.

She had brought a lot of supplies for the children in the orphanage, and the personnel in charge of the orphanage were helping to bring the items in.

The dean cordially pulled her hand and said, "You haven't come for so long, yet the children are still arguing with me about where you have gone to."

She was a volunteer. She would usually go to the orphanage to help with the care of the lonely old man, and she would also come to the orphanage to help.

The children were fatherless, abandoned by their families for various reasons.

Sometimes when she came here and saw the smiles on the faces of the children, she felt sad.

From the very beginning of her life, she had been treated as an abandoned child. How difficult would it be to integrate into the society of the future and into a brand-new family? Just thinking about this made her feel that it was very difficult.

Su Qiao An followed the dean in. The children of the orphanage were playing games in the classroom, she and the dean were standing in the corridor, watching.

"I already know your intention for coming here. You want to choose a child to adopt, don't you?"

"If you have a blind fate …" She was still in a daze.

Adopting a child was not a small matter. Once she made a choice, she would raise the person and be responsible for the child's life.

Responsible...

For a person like her, she had been a terrible mess for the rest of her life. Could she really afford to be responsible for a child that she was completely unfamiliar with?

"Then take your time to read." As he spoke, the dean looked into the classroom and slightly raised his chin. "How about you take a look at that child?"

Su Qiao An looked inside and saw a little boy in a blue down front who was laughing loudly. He looked very lively and quick-witted.

"That child is not sick, he has a very outgoing personality, and he likes to talk and laugh. If you decide to adopt him, you don't have to worry that he won't be close to you, and will not be used to a new environment."

Su Yun stared at them for a while, then opened his mouth, "Principal, let me see for myself."

Not so fast, not today to adopt a child back.

She was here mainly to deliver things to the children, not just to go through the adoption procedures.

The dean smiled amiably and said, "Alright, then you can look at it first."

She gave a soft grunt.

After the dean left, she stood outside the classroom by herself and looked at her little friend who was actively interacting with her teacher. Her lips unconsciously curled upwards, revealing a slight smile.

The teacher who was in class saw her and forcefully pulled her in.

As she played with the children, she caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye of a silent little boy sitting in a corner.

Compared to the other children, the child sitting in the corner was dressed in shabby clothes. He didn't have any expression, nor did he know how to smile or communicate with others.

She had noticed the child from the moment she came in. He was too quiet, and when she came in she saw that he had a chain on his foot, one end helping his foot and the other attached to the leg of the table.

When she asked the teacher, she found out about the child.

"You're talking about that child …" The teacher sighed, "That child was sent to our orphanage just a year ago. I heard that his family was in a car accident and that he was the only survivor. The police couldn't contact his other relatives, so they sent him here."

"Is that child always like that? He didn't speak to anyone, and he didn't participate? You... Why did you lock him up like that? "

"Yeah, the person who sent him here said that the child hasn't spoken since he woke up."

"At first, we only thought that the child was unable to speak because he had just woken up and was unable to accept that reality. But then we realized that there might be something wrong with the child's mind, and he would often cause trouble with other children. Last time, there was a little boy who broke his head in our yard, and now, he is still staying in the hospital, so we had no choice but to put him in a corner, away from the normal children."

Su Qiao An stared at the child thoughtfully. When she wanted to get close, the teacher grabbed her arm and advised, "Miss Su, I suggest you not go near. That child's temper is very bad, anyone who touches him will get hurt."

"It doesn't matter." She insisted on getting close.

Alone in the last corner of the classroom, she half squatted in front of the boy.

She didn't make a sound, only silently sizing him up.

It seemed that after she came over, the boy became very nervous. His hands tightly gripped his trousers, and his long bangs covered his face, making him look somewhat gloomy.

"Relax, I won't hurt you." she said gently.

The boy still did not speak. He did not look up at her.

Su Qiao An tried his best to look unaggressive, "Can you tell me, what's your name?"

She waited a long time for the boy to speak before sighing in disappointment.

Just as he got up to leave, he felt a tug on the corner of his shirt.

Su Qiao An was startled, and drooped his eyes to look at the small hand that was tightly grabbing onto the corner of her clothes.

"Qiao An, you really decided to adopt this child back?" After the dean knew who the child Su Qiao An was taking away was, he said in shock and worry, "You know the condition of the child, right? "Why don't you think about it so that you don't regret it in the future?"

"No need, I've decided that he won't change nor regret it." Su Qiao An was very sure.

The dean's eyes were filled with worry as he looked at the boy sitting on the bench, "Fine, since you insist, I won't stop you. Are you sure you want to go through with the procedures and don't need to discuss it with your husband?"

Long before Su Qiao An came here, Zhu Jiangci had informed them that Su Qiao An might come today to complete the adoption procedures.

If she really had her eyes on the child, she would let them go and let Su Qiao An take the child back first.

However, what Su Qiao An wanted to take away was not a normal child, but a child who was close to being shut and had serious mental problems.

The Principal was worried that Su Qiao An would have too much love and take the child away on a whim. If the child had really caused some trouble by following them back home, then she would not be the only one to suffer, even the entire orphanage would be implicated.

However, the smile on his face did not have the previous tranquility and instead had a hint of coldness, "Don't worry, this person was my choice. Even if he cried and struggled, I would not abandon him and not mistreat him, and even more so not implicate you."
