A big fire, an apology, and a double kiss under the moon.

The charm of the planting class is really big enough, even the afternoon activity class the children have collectively skipped, one by one, eyeballing the box, afraid to miss the moment when the cabbage sprouted and broke through the ground.

They've already named the cabbages, and Goat Horntail and Bo Bo, who had a fight over whose cabbage was to be called Sweet, are currently sulking apart as Gan Tang squats beside Goat Horntail and gently mediates the conflict.

With the previous experience of his girlfriend's failure, Tian Guangbing had the courage to walk up to the hairy kid and pat him on the shoulder: "Hey, are you going to play basketball or not?"

The brat let out an "ah", seemingly uninterested.

His heart was set on the cabbage in the box, poking the wet soil with his little finger and saying, "Mr. Tian, you say, I just watered it so much, it won't die, right?"

After all, Tian Guangbing was young and had little experience. He couldn't quite understand how these children could be so cruel to those who were much stronger than they were, and yet they were so eager to care for those who were even weaker than they were.

Tian Guangbing searched his brain for a comforting answer that wouldn't cross the line: "No, you were kind enough to feed it so much water."

"Really?"

Ebony eyes were fixed on him, full of childish and innocent waves.

"Of course it's true." Tian Guangbing was a little softened by this, and his slightly hard tone softened, "If you talk to it more often, it will know what you are thinking. It won't answer you, but it can hear you."

The brat, his eyes full of curiosity, pressed his fleshy face against the side of the box and said provocatively, "You're so small." Then he giggled and laughed heartily.

Tian Guangbing couldn't help but laugh at this silly, childish comment.

"But I do not dislike you oh." The brat's words turned, picking up the box, seriously promised, "You will grow into a very good cabbage in the future. Don't worry, I won't leave you alone."

Tian Guangbing suddenly remembered who these children were when they were still alive and couldn't help but feel compassion.

Most of them were not congenitally deficient children, and all of them were alive and well, except for the two little girls who spoke with an airy voice and had blue lips, which were supposed to have a congenital heart condition.

The brat in front of me, perhaps just a product of some young couple's whim, pregnant, born, the whole process is confused, and when they realize that they can not deal with it, they take a roll of blankets to wrap up the child, thrown to some busy area, expecting someone to take the weight of this life can not bear for them.

The brat put his ear to the soil, listened carefully for a long time, and even shouted in surprise: "It talked to me."

The other children sniffed and were busy following suit, chattering and talking to the seed, and a few claimed to have actually heard the seed's reply.

When there was a clamor around him, the hairy man lowered his voice and said triumphantly to his seeds, "Look, I'm teasing them."

Tian Guangbing burst out laughing.

...... still a bad boy by nature.

The day was unusually harmonious at the orphanage, except for an episode in the cafeteria in the morning.

Qin Ling awoke for a moment during dinner. He was tolerant enough not to yell, and curled up, covering his eyes, with Gan Yu's assistance, he went upstairs and fainted again just as he reached his dormitory.

After the meal, Liu Chengyin, who had cleaned up everything, returned to the dormitory and stayed with her boyfriend by Qin Ling's side.

Chi Xiaochi and Gan Tang stayed behind to take care of the bears who could wash half a pound of dirt off their bodies.

Chi Xiaochi is in charge of the boys' side and Gan Tang takes care of the girls.

Aware of his awkward status, Gan Tang only stood far beyond the thick curtains of the doorway and politely closed off his visual faculties, occasionally adjusting his field of vision to Chi Xiaochi's side of the room to make sure that nothing untoward would happen.

The girls took good care of themselves, washing themselves nice and fresh and whimpering with little soaps to wash their little dresses.

Gan Tang confirms that he has no problems on his side, and then looks to Chi Xiaochi's side.

The glance went by and his heart softened beyond words.

Chi Xiaochi moved a small bench, got a small basin of warm water, sat outside the bathroom door, picked up the boys' shoes, which had been kicked and covered with muddy spots and clods of dirt, and took off the sock of his left foot, dipped it in the warm water, and wiped it clean a little bit.

He looked like he was doing something perfectly normal, frowning slightly, and a little impatient.

Chi Xiaochi muttered with a look of disgust, "Bunch of dirty boys."

With that, he put down a pair of sneakers that had been cleaned.

Xi Lou likewise took in everything he did.

After spending time together these days, although Xi Lou's micro-aggressions towards Chi Xiaochi had accumulated into an ocean, he had to admit, "You're not bad."

Chi Xiaochi smiled, "I can do it. If you don't believe me, try it."

Xi Lou's face was expressionless, and he mentally slapped himself with two big slaps.

You're so cheap, you've got no choice but to brag about this bitch.

Xi Lou didn't say anything, but Chi Xiaochi started to tease him, "What are your plans if Song Chunyang comes back?"

Xi Lou said, "Don't talk nonsense about things that have not yet been finalized."

Chi Xiaochi throws away a pot of muddy water and replaces it with a new one: "Young people, you have to have dreams. Older people like me yearn for the love of you young people."

Xi Lou insisted on shutting up, refusing to give Chi Xiaochi any chance to capitalize on the situation.

Chi Xiaochi smiles, looks down and continues to shine his shoes.

He actually really envied Xi Lou and Song Chunyang.

After all, Song Chunyang can still come back.

Years after Lou Ying's death, Chi Xiaochi had a dream that the person who died that year was not Lou Ying, but him.

When he woke up, he fumed for a long time, wondering if Lou, who was still alive, would like himself as much as he liked him, if that was really what happened.

At the end of the day, Chi Xiaochi rolled around on the bed with a pillow in his arms happily.

...... As long as Lou doesn t forget him, he s happy.

Thinking so, he suddenly felt some tingling in his fingers, and frowning lightly, he spread his right hand open to find a bloody gash emerging from the joint of his index finger.

When he thought about it, it seemed that he had been stabbed by a shovel when he was digging in the mud with the bears in the afternoon, and he hadn't felt much at the time, but now he should have been submerged in water.

There were band-aids readily available in the warehouse, so he took one out, and who would have thought that just as he ripped the package open, a slender figure came to him.

Gan Tang: "Shall I?"

Chi Xiaochi didn't think much of it either and smiled, "Yeah."

Gan Tang didn't make any extra charming gestures, only brushed his palm with his fingertips as he taped the edges of the band-aid together.

Chi Xiaochi, a little tickled, drew back his hand and was about to bow down to pick up his half-brushed shoes when Gan Tang took over his socks.

Chi Xiaochi : "Hey ......"

Gan Tang said softly, "Sit still. If you get your hand injury wet again, be careful of infection."

Chi Xiaochi smiled, revealing shallow swirls, "You brush your shoes and I just sit and watch ah, it's not too gentlemanly for a lady."

Gan Tang also put on a smile, "Just sit back and watch."

Chi Xiaochi leaned against the wall, one foot bare, looking up at the exotic moon, while Gan Tang washed the children's shoes in front of him, the sound of children splashing and laughing in the bathroom faintly carried, the atmosphere was too good for words for a moment.

I didn't think there could be a moment of such peace in the spirit world.

Chi Xiaochi thought about his mind for a while, and was actually a bit sleepy.

He tried to straighten his back, trying to wake himself up, who thought Gan Tang said, "Go to sleep, don't worry with me keeping an eye on things here."

Xi Lou thought, "Don't worry my ass, female hooligan.

Xi Lou wanted to remind Chi Xiaochi, but then he thought, the matter of siblings having feelings for the same person sounds metaphysical, the surname Chi may not believe him, and she hasn't shown any further indication yet, so let's observe the situation and talk about it.

Unlike Xi Lou, who was secretly observing, Chi Xiaochi still trusted Gan Tang, and leaned against the wall to take a nap.

Gan Tang washed and arranged all the shoes in an orderly manner, threw away Chi Xiaochi's socks, which were already too dirty to look at, washed his hands, gently held his ankles, and put the shoes on for him, fearing that he might catch cold from the night wind.

This move has crossed the line a bit.

Alarm bells went off in Xi Lou's mind, and he was just about to open his mouth to wake Chi Xiaochi up when he saw Gan Tang raise his forefinger, put it against his lips, and whisper, "Shhh."

Xi Lou was stunned.

...... Who is she booing? Me?

Chi Xiaochi was dozing quietly, his head little by little, not very steady. Gan Tang reached up to hold the side of his face, measuring it for a moment, then a pair of lips came up, ruffled his hair, and placed a silent kiss on the bone of his right ear.

Xi Lou: "......?!"

While he was in a daze, he saw that Gan Yu had come out of the dormitory at some point and was standing quietly in the corridor under the moonlight, looking like he had taken in the scene just now.

Xi Lou's hope was suddenly sparked.

Look at your sister! Look at your sister!

Please fight your sister! Please! Thank you!

Gan Yu also took a step towards the place as Xi Lou had hoped, and removed his gold-rimmed spectacles, the gold chains brushing against his cheeks with a fine sound.

Gan Yu stood beside Chi Xiaochi, leaned down, and kissed Chi Xiaochi's left ear, following Gan Tang's example.

Xi Lou: "........................ "

His triple vision shattered into glass splinters.

The two kisses were directly on the mental body, and Chi Xiaochi shivered uncontrollably at the kisses, lifting her hand to rub her left ear and reaching up to tug on the covers, and sure enough, she grabbed something warm and pulled it right over herself.

...... That's the jacket Gan Yu took off his body.

The siblings gazed at Chi Xiaochi silently and tenderly, wanting to tell him that he didn't have to envy or aspire to anyone, that he was right there by his side, and asked him to be at ease.

Yet he couldn't say a word.

At that moment, Yuan Benshan also came out of the dormitory.

He thought Gan Yu had left the door without saying a word to go to the restroom, but thinking of his unusual covetousness for Chunyang, he still couldn't feel at ease, so he simply followed him out, just in time to see the sibling duo surrounding the napping Chi Xiaochi, wondering what they were thinking.

He froze and couldn't help but lose his smile as he walked up and said, "Why did you fall asleep here?"

"Too tired, I guess." Gan Tang naturally replied, "He's been playing with the kids solidly all day."

Yuan Benshan politely nodded to Gan Tang, indicating that he knew, and immediately picked up the sleeping mandarin duck-eyed kitten in his arms.

Chi Xiaochi was so shocked that he woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Yuan Benshan's big face.

He thought dispassionately, Fuck you, nightmare.

Chi Xiaochi closed her eyes again, waking up for a few seconds, mentally preparing herself before turning sideways and taking the initiative to wrap her arms around Yuan Benshan's neck.

Yuan Benshan smiled and glanced at Gan Yu Gan Tang, not moving, "Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, there are still people around."

Chi Xiaochi pretending to be asleep: "......" vomit.

Gan Tang and Gan Yu were in a very stable mood, and even touched their lips for a moment before Gan Tang stepped forward to follow them, lest Yuan Benshan do something to Chi Xiaochi that would cross the line.

And Gan Yu naturally took over the two men's shift, taking a seat at the edge of the corridor.

Already the children were dressed and running out of the bathroom one after another, wanting to see their little cabbage one more time before bedtime.

Gan Yu was in charge of keeping order and it took a long time to bring them all back to the dormitory.

However, during his last headcount, he realized that two people were missing.

...... It was that skinny and indebted brat, and that little fat guy who claimed to eat Mr. Liu.

Qin Ling moved out of the infirmary, and Yuan Benshan and Gan Yu moved back into their original quarters.

Liu Chengyin and Tian Guangbing held their hands tightly and remained silent.

These ghost children are indeed pitiful, but Qin Ling, what did he do wrong?

Having broken an eye for nothing, they were also unfair for Qin Ling in their hearts.

...... But what sense can be made with a ghost.

Liu Chengyin s mind was in turmoil, thinking about whether Qin Ling s injuries could last until tomorrow, thinking that according to the rules if he could make it back, the nonfatal wounds would all be healed, and thinking about what was going on with that woman in black.

She asked a lot of people today and they all said they hadn't seen any women.

Could it really be that she was mistaken?

Just as she was rambling, their window was slowly pushed open from the outside by a small hand.

And the window was clearly unlocked from the inside.

Tian Guangbing, who was the first one to realize it, turned pale and pressed Liu Chengyin's shoulder first, instructing her not to look back.

But it was already too late, as a megaphone made of plastic bottles fell through a crack in the window and rolled to Liu Chengyin's feet in a bone-jarring heap.

Liu Chengyin With just one look, his body was half numb and his heartbeat thumped and exploded.

...... She forgot that last night the little boy asked her to play "telephone" with him today.

Good thing he didn't just call her cell phone this time ......

Liu Chengyin has been frightened so many times that he has calmed down quite a bit.

Compared to last night, it's not so scary this time around.

She leans down to pick up the megaphone, and while Tian Guangbing tries to stop her, she shakes her head and brings the megaphone up to her ear.

"Mr. Ryu, Mr. Ryu. Hello, hello, can you hear me."

The megaphone made the child's words jarring and added a touch of unspeakable horror.

Liu Chengyin took a few deep breaths, raised his guard, and said, word for word, "Well, I can hear you."

The "phone" was silent for a long time.

Waiting is the most simmering, Liu Chengyin pale face, fingers tightly clasped on the edge of the bed, full of palms are wet and slippery cold sweat, do not dare to look at the window.

Will he be angry that he's missed another appointment?

Would he appear at the window again with that horrible face?

He--

I don't know how long it took in the extremely suffocating atmosphere, but Liu Chengyin finally heard that brat's voice again.

"Teacher Lou said that when you do something wrong, you have to apologize." He mumbled and mumbled, and was actually a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, teacher, I shouldn't have intentionally scared you yesterday."

Liu Chengyin was so horrified that she stared straight at Tian Guangbing, causing Tian Guangbing to be in a state of fear, asking her what was said over there, comforting her and telling her not to be afraid.

There was a rustle on the other end of the "phone" and the "microphone" changed to another person.

It's Ma Ching.

The soft, chubby little man who claimed to eat her.

His naive voice came out, "Teacher, thank you for giving me the bun in the morning."

Liu Chengyin was actually a bit touched, and softly said, "...... No ...... you're welcome."

The "microphone" was handed out again, and it was answered by the brat.

He said, "Last night, I heard Ms. Ryu call out, saying she saw a bad guy outside the window. I told Little Fatty today ......"

There was a protest from the window, "I'm not fat!"

"Teacher, don't be afraid." The hairy boy pushed away the little fat man's meaty paws and sat side by side with him in a narrow pathway that flanked the window, saying rather manly, "You sleep, we'll protect you outside."

Liu Chengyin spent a long time talking to his two children on the phone, until he was lying in bed side by side with Tian Guangbing.

Those two kids are really out there guarding her.

The feeling is really subtle and moving.

She snuggled into Tian Guangbing's arms and inexplicably fell asleep.

However, after an unknown amount of time had passed, a pungent and horrible burning smell instantly pulled her out of her dream world, and she leapt up, dragging the still somewhat dazed Tian Guangbing out of bed with her.

She'd gotten up so fast that the beeping and booping of the burning outside her door had left her standing barefoot on the floor, momentarily confused as to whether this was considered a dream or reality.

Until the door was slammed and Chi Xiaochi's voice came from outside: "Wake up! Wake up, there's a fire!"
