Chapter 34 "An An won't be able to sleep."... (1)
[When An An asked if they wanted to say goodbye, her expression was like she had suddenly woken up from a beautiful dream.]
[I feel so sorry for An An. She is only four years old, but she has already suffered so much. It's so pitiful.]
[I suddenly thought, how great it would be if the program had never started. If the child had never had such good parents, she wouldn't be so sad now.]
[But I think An An will never regret participating in this program, even when she grows up. Because of the love of her parents, she knows that she is not an unpopular child. This must be very important to baby An An!]
[I really hope the program will not end, and An An can live with her parents forever. 】
It was a warm and healing variety show, but at the end, the audience in the live broadcast room shed tears.
Maybe at the beginning, not many people had any expectations for the variety show "Intern Parents". Except for Mo Sui's fans, other viewers just clicked in to watch it and kill time.
But slowly, everyone's joys and sorrows were affected by these lovely children.
Zhou Yan, who is inferior but strong, Su Hehe, who is as spicy as a little pepper, Qiqi, who is versatile but meticulous, Lili, who is chubby, and An'an, who deceived people into giving birth to a daughter.
Every child is vivid, fresh, innocent and cute. Even if someone's parents have some thoughts, it will not affect them. Children are children, and every smile is as pure as their hearts.
Now, the show is coming to an end.
The audience watched An An's cautious look in the short film, and they felt like a stone was pressing on their hearts, unable to relax.
Even the bystanders felt bad, and it is conceivable that as the intern parents of Xiao Tuanzi, Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui must feel heavy.
"Sister Li, the director of the orphanage is here to pick up An An. Please get the child ready and come out."
The voice of the staff came from outside the screening room.
Xiao Tuanzi lowered her eyelids and clasped her hands tightly together.
Mo Sui's face turned pale, and he stood up with his hands on the table and looked outside.
The director of the orphanage stood there with a kind smile, waiting for An An.
"An An, it's time to go." Staff member Chen Li walked to An An and said softly.
Xiao Tuanzi stood up obediently.
Her little feet moved, and when she turned to leave, she looked back at Mo Sui.
"Goodbye." She whispered, but her voice was so soft when she spoke, and she shouted for the last time, "Mom."
An An was just a child and couldn't remember so many things, but just now, she watched the short film with everyone.
In the short film, Mo Sui said that in the remaining days of recording the show, An An could call her "Mom."
But now, the show is over.
An An has become a child without a mother again.
Mo Sui was a little dazed, frozen in place, looking at the timid An An.
Afterwards, An An walked in front of Gu Yicheng again and said in a baby voice, "Goodbye, Dad."
Gu Yicheng's heart seemed to be tightened.
Before meeting An An, he didn't like children at all. At first, he just wanted to ask the little thing to teach him how to coax his wife, but this little thing, who knows if it has the real talent, cheated him several times and helped him several times...
When he was browsing the hot searches, he saw the ridicule of netizens, saying that his daughter made him successful and also ruined him.
Seeing such comments at that time, Gu Yicheng laughed. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. An An was indeed his daughter.
After more than ten days of living together, for Gu Yicheng, An An was not just an insignificant amateur guest on the show.
He really liked this child.
An An said goodbye to her parents, looked up at the staff, and said softly, "You can go now."
[Watching the child leave with your own eyes, this is too cruel, I can't take it anymore, I feel so sad...]
[An An hasn't cried yet, but Mo Sui's eyes are already red.]
[I have been a fan of Mo Sui since she debuted. She has always clearly separated work and life. Even when she is immersed in the filming of the crew, she has never been unable to withdraw from her emotions in the behind-the-scenes footage... At that time, some haters said that she was not very empathetic, but because her business ability was really good, no one could find fault with her. I didn't expect that she would actually shed tears for a variety show.]
[Mo Sui must be holding back tears. Obviously, tears will fall if she blinks, but she still holds them back. 】
【General Manager Gu has lowered his head, he dare not look at An An's back...】
Mo Sui and Gu Yicheng both lowered their eyelids.
Time passed by minute by minute, and no one spoke in the entire screening room.
Jin Kejian and Li Rongrong were surprised. They gained a lot from this program and were willing to pay attention to Zhou Yan's studies and life after the program and provide some help when appropriate. However, the program is over, and it would be a lie to say that they can't let it go.
Unexpectedly, Mo Sui and Gu Yicheng would be so sincere...
Everyone's mood is heavy.
Even Ruan Qingqing's eyes were red, and she felt sour in her heart, and gently touched Qiqi's head.
She always complained in her heart, why did she have to take care of the child alone, it was too hard. But now, looking at An An's pitiful back, she was very glad, glad that Qi Qi had a mother no matter what.
Little Dumpling slowly walked towards Director Wang of the orphanage.
This was the director's grandmother that An An was most familiar with.
Mo Sui and Gu Yicheng both raised their heads, and almost at the same time, they also walked out.
[They are going to hug An An, the child who is with them every day, and now suddenly has to leave... Wuwuwu, I also want to hug An An. 】
【I guess Mr. Gu will donate some supplies and equipment to the orphanage, or donate a children's park...】
【That makes sense. Mr. Gu and the actress are not short of money. They are willing to pay the high penalty for breach of contract. It would only take a few minutes to build a small children's park like the one in the B&B for the orphanage.】
[After the show is over, Mo Sui will definitely join the crew to shoot Director He's new play. President Gu postponed his official duties for the show, and he will probably be very busy in the future. Slowly, they will forget An An. While they are most reluctant to let her go, it is meaningful to do more for the orphanage and An An, and call on more people to pay attention to the poor children in the orphanage. ]
[In a low voice, this couple is really a perfect match...even their walk is a perfect match. ]
[Wuwuwu, the person upstairs, what time is it, and you are still eating sugar! I can't eat sugar anymore, it's all glass shards in the sugar, a family of three has become a family of two, it's too uncomfortable. ]
Looking at Mo Sui and Gu Yicheng walking towards him, Dean Wang's expression changed slightly.
She squatted down and said to An An, "An An, is there anything you forgot to take away?"
The little girl shook her head and suddenly remembered something: "The birthday present from the program team is still at home."
Chen Li met the dean's hesitant eyes and knew that she wanted to get the child away, so she smiled and said to An An, "Come on, auntie will take you home to get it."
As soon as An An left, Director Wang walked to the corner outside the screening room, looked at the couple with a smile: "I watched your show, thank you for being so nice to An An."
"Director, I think--"
Mo Sui just opened her mouth, but was interrupted.
"Ms. Mo, I know what you want to say." Director Wang said with a smile, "In the orphanage, I have met too many people who, after visiting the children a few times, felt sorry for the children's plight and wanted to adopt them home. However, after adoption, it takes time, effort, and money to take care of the child."
"We will take good care of An An." said Gu Yicheng.
Director Wang shook his head: "Maybe it's not nice for me to say this, but do you have so much time? Too many people adopt children, then regret it and try to send the children back. This is a secondary injury to the child."
"Sorry, as An An's grandmother, I have to protect her."
Director Wang agreed to let An An participate in the program. The original intention was naturally that the exposure brought by the program would bring more attention to the child, so that she could be adopted by kind people and live a normal life.
But recently, there have been too many comments on the Internet. Some viewers joked in the bullet screen area that they would go to the orphanage to take a child home and become a mother painlessly.
Those were all jokes without any malicious intent, but Director Wang saw them and was extremely worried.
Can young people who act on impulse really take good care of children?
"Director, we are not acting on impulse." Mo Sui said anxiously.
"Let's talk about it after a while. If you are still worried about the child after a while, we will consider this issue again." Director Wang smiled kindly. At this time, she raised her eyes and saw that An An had been led by the staff to come over, so she said, "An An is very sensible. When she said goodbye to you, she would try hard not to cry... But for a four-year-old child, this is very hard."
Mo Sui was stunned and did not move.
Gu Yicheng held her hand and took her back to the screening room.
An An was still taken away by Director Wang.
At this time, the live broadcast was not interrupted, and the highlights of the program in the past 20 days began to be played.
Mo Sui raised his eyes and saw the screen in the projection room showing the scene of An An buying small gifts for them.
That day, An An walked into a boutique alone, holding a teddy bear wallet.
In the store, she selected several glittering trinkets and wanted to give them to her mother. After asking for the price, she took out the twenty yuan from the teddy bear wallet and held it in front of the store owner.
"Uncle boss, I want all of these." She said proudly.
But the store owner glanced at the money in her hand and shook his head.
Twenty yuan to buy these jewellery? It's too good to be true.
The program crew got the desired program effect, so they took An An, who was persuaded to leave, to a small stall near the university town.
The stall was set up by college students, and they were selling small handicrafts.
This time, An An was not so extravagant. She picked up a crystal necklace and asked about it. When she learned that she not only had enough money, but could also choose other things, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After buying the crystal necklace for her mother, An An looked at the red ropes on the stall.
The stall owner helped to calculate the bill. Twenty yuan was just enough to buy a crystal necklace and two red ropes.
But in the end, An An's eyes fell on a small strawberry hairpin.
The stall owner said that if she wanted to buy one more strawberry hairpin, the money would not be enough. She suggested that An An only buy one red rope.
But the little dumpling shook her head.
Later, the little dumpling returned to the car.
The photographer asked her why she didn't buy the strawberry hairpin she liked.
An An said seriously: "The crystal necklace is so beautiful, my mother will definitely like it. The little red rope is for the intern uncle, but if my mother doesn't have it, she will be sad."
"Will An An not be disappointed if she doesn't buy a gift for herself?"
"No, if my mother and the intern uncle are happy, An An will be happy. Will my mother and uncle like the gift An An gave them very much?"
"Of course they will."
The little girl's sweet smile was frozen at the end of the footage, and then there were clips of other families.
Jiang Lin's nose was sore and she buried her face in her husband's shoulder.
Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said angrily: "The program crew is really stingy. What's wrong with giving An An a strawberry hairpin? It's just five yuan!"
...
When it was almost dark, Zhou Yan finally waited for his mother to pick him up.
Zhou's mother was in her thirties and dressed simply. As soon as she arrived, she went to find the staff and asked when she could receive the announcement fee.
After confirming the date of the financial transfer, she breathed a sigh of relief and took Zhou Yan home, urging him as they walked: "Hurry up, there are still a lot of things to do at home, we will miss the last bus."
Li Rongrong said: "Don't worry, we will ask the program team to send a car to take you back."
Zhou's mother smiled immediately when she heard it, and said to Zhou Yan: "You are so lucky to meet such intern parents. Xiaoyan, ask your parents for contact information as soon as possible, and contact them more often in the future."
Zhou Yan's eyes dimmed and he dared not look up.
At the age of six, he already knew what to say and what not to say. If he asked for contact information, the intern parents would probably think he was greedy.
"Dad Jin has written down your home address." Jin Kejian said, pulling Zhou Yan to his side, and said softly, "You must study hard in school. In a few days, we will send you some teaching materials and learning tools. Primary school lasts for six years, and when you enter junior high school, the academic pressure will be great. Dad Jin and Mom Li can help you contact better schools in the city, but you may need accommodation. Are you willing, Xiaoyan?"
Zhou Yan was slightly startled, but soon nodded: "I am willing."
Zhou's mother said: "These good schools have to pay school fees... and if you want accommodation..."
"We can bear the children's academic expenses until they graduate from college. I hope that as parents, you will not drag your feet and delay your children's studies." Li Rongrong said bluntly.
Zhou's mother's eyes lit up when she heard it.
It costs a lot of money to train a college student. If two big stars are willing to pay this money, it would be a great honor.
"Hurry up and thank your intern parents!" Zhou's mother pulled her son's arm.
"Dad Jin, Mom Li..." Zhou Yan didn't know what to say.
Jin Kejian squatted down and patted Zhou Yan on the back gently: "Little man, stand up straight, hold your head high, and there will be no obstacles that you can't overcome."
... All
good things must come to an end, and the guests went home to pack their luggage.
When they first arrived at the apartment, they thought the house rented by the abandoned program group was too small, but now they are leaving, they are a little reluctant.
After Su Lingwen locked the suitcase, he took his wife and daughter out.
But suddenly, Xiao Qin thought of something: "Wait a minute."
He He raised her little face, a little strange.
After waiting for a long time, she saw Aunt Xiao Qin coming out with a few pieces of paper and handed them to her.
"This is your drawing. You must keep it well. It will be very meaningful when
you grow up." He He blinked and took the painting.
Su Lingwen smiled and said, "Let's go home."
He He nodded lightly and looked at Xiao Qin: "Okay."
The family of three walked to the elevator and met Ruan Qingqing and Qiqi.
Ruan Qingqing was carrying a lot of luggage and almost couldn't move.
Su Lingwen helped her carry a big box and asked, "Where is Qiqi's father?"
Qiqi said, "Dad has something to do, so he left first."
Su Lingwen wanted to ask something, but suddenly felt his clothes being gently pulled by his wife.
Xiao Qin shook his head.
These days, she could see that the relationship between Ruan Qingqing and Huo Zichen was not like that at all.
But after all, this was someone else's private matter, and they couldn't interfere.
"Xiao Qin!" A clear voice came.
Jiang Lin and Qin Feng came over arm in arm, smiling and greeting her.
When she saw Ruan Qingqing, Jiang Lin hesitated for a moment, but still showed a friendly smile. Although they had not been very pleasant to get along with before, now that the show was over, she actually liked each other.
"Why do you have so little luggage?" Ruan Qingqing asked.
Jiang Lin and Qin Feng smiled at each other.
"Just some clothes and cosmetics, which have been sent back by express. It's so comfortable without children, two empty-handed, and don't have to carry anything."
Jiang Lin said this with emotion in her heart.
After being attacked by Lili's "sugar-coated bullets" in the afternoon, she almost gave birth to a baby.
But now she thought again, how nice it would be for the couple to live in their own world. They don't have to cook for the baby, and they can go to the movies hand in hand.
How happy it is.
...
Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui were the last to leave the apartment.
When they closed the door, they took another deep look at the house.
An An played the piano every day.
An An sat on the dining chair every day and waited to be fed.
An An watched cartoons on TV every day...
During the show, the couple only knew to treat the child well and not let her leave any regrets in these twenty days.
But now that the show is over, they realized that if they let the child leave, they would be the ones who would regret it in the end.
It was also at this moment that they were sure that considering adopting An An was not an impulsive decision.
Even though the initial starting point was reluctance, they knew that they wanted to bring the child home because they hoped that she would grow up happily. To be
grown up by her parents.
"I will take care of the adoption procedures," said Gu Yicheng.
"Can it be as soon as possible?" Mo Sui raised her head and asked softly.
Gu Yicheng nodded, closed the door with one hand, picked up the luggage, and held her hand with the other hand.
But this time, Mo Sui quietly dodged. It was not
until then that Gu Yicheng realized that even with An An's help in the running-in period, their relationship had become more harmonious. But without An An by his side, they will still return to the starting point.
There will always be problems between him and Mo Sui, and this problem cannot be solved overnight.
Everything has to be left to time.
Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui's home is in a villa area on the Binjiang River.
However, he has not been back for a long time.
For nearly a year, Mo Sui has lived there alone. They have not divorced, but have been separated.
At this time, Gu Yicheng drove her back.
The car was very quiet and no one spoke.
The anchor of the radio station was reporting the traffic conditions, and Gu Yicheng thought it was too noisy and clicked the close button.
Suddenly, Mo Sui received a WeChat message.
She turned to him and said, "Take me to Zhou Mingmin's place."
...
Zhou Mingmin has been very free recently, so free that she has come to the counter by herself to pick out the latest season's clothes and high heels.
At this time, she was sitting in the brand's VIP room, wearing a big hat with the brim pulled down, revealing half of her fair and delicate face.
"Ms. Zhou, please wait a moment, we will go and get the shoe size you need. But in fact, you don't need to come here specially, the brand will deliver the style you choose directly to your door."
Zhou Mingmin responded lazily, took out her mobile phone, and continued to search for hot searches.
The program "Intern Parents" is becoming more and more popular. The marketing account has made a statistical data. During the broadcast of the program, several guests have gained countless fans and received constant business invitations.
Even Jiang Lin and Qin Feng, who originally had particularly limited resources, were invited to participate in the recording of an extreme survival variety show as flying guests.
I heard that the chief director of that program said in an interview that what he liked was the fierce temperament of the couple, which was very consistent with the positioning of the program.
Zhou Mingmin watched all the way down, and finally her eyes fell on Mo Sui's statistics.
In this program, Mo Sui and Gu Yicheng are undoubtedly the biggest winners.
Mo Sui, who had been silent for a year, is now a hot search every day, and various luxury brands have come to her and expressed their desire to cooperate with her. And Gu Yicheng's group has also attracted more attention because of his fan-attracting performance in the program, and its stock price has soared.
But as a friend, Zhou Mingmin doesn't care about these.
She only saw a gloomy scene of Mo Sui in the program.
Mo Sui is very strong. No matter how harsh her mother is to her or how hurtful things she did as a child, she always has an indifferent expression.
But this time, she was reluctant to leave An An.
Zhou Mingmin was worried that she would have wild thoughts if she was alone, so she asked her to come.
But it was already this late, why hadn't she arrived yet?
Just when Zhou Mingmin thought that Mo Sui would not come, the door of the VIP room was opened.
"Please come in, Miss Mo."
The VIP room was very quiet and no one would disturb her. Zhou Mingmin handed the tea to Mo Sui: "Has An An gone home?"
Mo Sui held the teacup, took a sip, and said softly: "I want to take her home as soon as possible."
For a moment, Zhou Mingmin didn't react.
The show is over, and she wants to take the child home?
"Gu Yicheng is already understanding the procedures required for adoption." Mo Sui said.
Zhou Mingmin was stunned.
The child was indeed very pitiful. The teachers and the director of the orphanage would take good care of her. Perhaps in a short time, the child would have a new father and mother...
But she did not say so.
She just held Mo Sui's hand and asked, "What happened in the past few years?"
Mo Sui lowered his head, and his long eyelashes trembled.
It was unknown how long it had passed before she said, "Mingmin, I had a daughter."
Zhou Mingmin had guessed what Mo Sui had experienced in the past few years, but no matter what, she could not have thought of this.
She could hardly believe her ears and looked at her friend in a daze. Then she looked up at the door of the VIP room and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the door was tightly closed.
"Keep your voice down." Zhou Mingmin's expression became serious.
"I've already lost it once." Mo Sui's eyes were moist, he closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly, "This time, I must not lose it again."
...
"Madam is back." The housekeeper opened the door and took Cen Yanjun's bag.
Cen Yanjun absentmindedly took off her shoes and walked into the house.
Gu Songting, who was playing chess with himself in the study, heard the noise and did not get up at first. His wife, who was noisy, would definitely pull him back and say a series of bad things about fake sisters after coming back from dinner with Jiang Hairu's group.
However, he waited for a long time, but did not see his wife enter the study.
Gu Songting put down the chess piece, put his hands behind his back, and walked out.
At a glance, he saw Cen Yanjun leaning on the sofa listlessly, not as elegant as usual.
Gu Songting was a little surprised. He walked closer and saw that her eyes were swollen from crying. He was shocked.
"What happened?" Old Man Gu sat down quickly and asked.
Cen Yanjun sighed softly: "Today Jiang Hairu called me over and said that she had hired a flower arrangement teacher to arrange flowers at home while watching the last episode of the live broadcast to kill time."
Old Man Gu knew about this: "What happened later?"
Cen Yanjun fell silent.
At that time, she went there happily.
These days, except for the times when she really had to go out to work, she didn't miss the live broadcast of "Intern Parents" most of the time. Last night, she watched her son and daughter-in-law celebrate the little girl's birthday and put on the crown she gave her. She cried and laughed, and was extremely moved.
This morning, when Jiang Hairu called, the show hadn't started yet. She thought that since she had nothing to do, it would be nice to watch the show with her old sisters and talk and laugh.
But who knew that she was so glamorous when she left, and so exhausted when she came back.
"What happened? Did Jiang Hairu laugh at you?" Grandpa Gu was more and more confused.
It's not that bad. My husband has been fighting with Jiang Hairu for most of his life. When has he ever lost?
The two old ladies were at full tilt, and they wanted to make others suffer no matter what. There was no reason for them to be sulking.
"She was laughing! We all cried." Cen Yanjun said excitedly.
Grandpa Gu frowned.
His old partner had never changed his bad habits over the years, and he never spoke to the point.
"We old ladies can't see the words on the screen clearly, so we never open it." Cen Yanjun took a deep breath and said, "At the end of today's show, the director of the orphanage came and took the little girl away. We then found out that she was an orphan."
"Orphan?" Grandpa Gu said in surprise.
"She was thrown at the door of the orphanage when she was two months old." Cen Yanjun raised her head.
At this point, Cen Yanjun had calmed down, but her heart was still tightly tied.
As she got older, her mentality was not very peaceful, but she usually didn't shed tears. But this time, she felt really sorry for the little girl.
How would such a little child survive in the orphanage? It
was so heartbreaking.
...
An An followed Director Wang back to the orphanage.
The teachers and aunties here were very happy to see An An back. They were also worried that the child would miss her parents in the show when she was quiet, so they all came to tease her and not let her be alone.
Little Dumpling was very polite and called everyone he met.
"An An, do you still remember that I am Aunt Zhao?"
"I thought the little one had forgotten me, but I didn't expect that he would call me Teacher Wang all of a sudden."
An An smiled embarrassedly.
It was only 20 days since they last met, and she would not forget every teacher and aunt here.
After all, the orphanage was where she grew up.
It was time for dinner.
An An was led to the cafeteria and met her friends who used to play with her.
The cafeteria aunt filled the child's plate and scooped a large bowl of pork rib soup.
An An said thank you, picked up the plate, and walked to her seat.
When she sat down, she remembered that she forgot to take the spoon, so she ran to get it.
Outside the cafeteria, Director Wang and the life teacher stood together, looking at the lonely figure.
The life teacher's eyes were sour: "In the program, An An's home is very warm, and her parents are with her for meals every day. But now she is back to the orphanage, and she is so lonely..."
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have let An An be on this program." Director Wang blamed himself, "I gave her hope, but let her down. The child must be very sad." "
Director Wang, don't think so. You do so many things for the sake of the children. By the way, didn't you say that the intern parents are willing to adopt An An? This should be good news." said the life teacher.
Dean Wang looked at the little dumplings who had already sat down to eat, and sighed: "I don't know if they suddenly got interested, or if they were forced to go on the show for the effect..."
"Maybe they will come again in a few days." The life teacher said optimistically.
Dean Wang smiled bitterly. She was reluctant to let An An be adopted by this couple. In fact, there was another layer of consideration.
There was once an infertile couple who came to adopt a child. A few years later, the woman suddenly became pregnant. The couple thought that adopting a child was a burden and sent him back.
Now the boy who was sent back is already in his teens. He is depressed every day and very silent.
Children are not kittens and puppies. They have their own thoughts. How much damage will it cause to be abandoned again and again.
After dinner, it was time for activities at the orphanage.
The children sat on small benches in the classroom and did handicrafts.
The teacher led An An, took a pair of small scissors, and cut out a little rabbit.
Little Tuanzi took the rabbit paper-cut and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful."
The life teacher gently touched An An's little head.
The child didn't cry or make a fuss, and didn't mention the father and mother in the show, but I don't know why, just because of this, people want to be better to her, better.
...
At eight o'clock in the evening, Gu Yicheng came out of the office.
After getting in the car, he hesitated for a moment and said to Assistant Fang, "Go home."
Assistant Fang was perceptive and immediately guessed which home Mr. Gu was going to go back to. He started the car and drove to the Binjiang Villa.
Gu Yicheng stood at the door of his home, pressed his index finger lightly on the fingerprint collection point, and with a "ding dong" sound, the door opened.
The room was dark and quiet.
He guessed that Mo Sui was still with Zhou Mingmin, but he didn't expect that when he walked slowly inside, he saw a ray of light coming from under the crack of the master bedroom door.
It was a very dim light.
Gu Yicheng paused and stood at the door. After a while, he gently turned the doorknob.
The door opened, and in the master bedroom, a slender figure sat quietly on the bed.
Mo Sui had changed into pajamas, and curled up with her hands on her knees.
Hearing the movement, she raised her face, there was no expression on her fair face, but her eyes revealed a rare fragility in her daily life.
Gu Yicheng's breathing stagnated and he walked forward.
"We forgot to buy a phone watch for An An." She suddenly said, her brows slightly furrowed, and said in annoyance, "I promised her last time."
It would be great if she bought An An a phone watch. In this way, when the child is scared or sad, she can still call her parents.
How could she forget it?
Gu Yicheng paused while unbuttoning his shirt and glanced at the clock on the bedside table.
An An's schedule is very regular. She goes to bed around nine o'clock every night. At this time, she should lie in bed and feel sleepy.
And Mo Sui and him, following Xiaotuanzi, also live a healthy life and lie down to rest early.
He is more rational than Mo Sui, but he feels equally upset when he thinks of An An in the orphanage.
"Will the teachers there read stories to her?" Gu Yicheng asked in a low voice.
Probably not.
Little Tuanzi developed the habit of listening to stories before bedtime after coming to their home.
This is obviously a very good habit, why force her to change it?
"An An won't be able to sleep." Mo Sui said softly.
"Let's go pick her up now." Gu Yicheng said suddenly.
Mo Sui was stunned for a moment: "Director Wang will not agree to let us take the child away, and the procedures have not been completed yet."
Gu Yicheng took the clothes on the stool at the end of the bed: "Change clothes, and we'll go."
Before turning around and leaving the master bedroom, he said again: "If the director does not agree, let her find a room for us, and we will sleep with An An in the orphanage."
Hearing his slightly childish tone, Mo Sui was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
An An was not as good at playing tricks as he was.
Thinking of the child, she did not delay any longer and changed her pajamas.
Gu Yicheng came out of the master bedroom and closed the door.
While waiting for her to change clothes, he took out his cell phone.
...
At 8:40 in the evening, An An tossed and turned in her little bed.
The other children were asleep, but she couldn't.
Little Tuanzi always felt empty, and suddenly she remembered something.
She quietly got out of bed and went to open her suitcase.
It was almost dark when she came back, and her aunt hadn't had time to help her pack her suitcase, so the small box was next to the bed.
In the moonlight, An An opened the suitcase and searched for a long time before finally finding her trophy.
There were also Cuicui and Daniu in the box, which were packed by her mother.
An An's little hands couldn't hold so many things, so she went back and forth three times and put the trophy, Cuicui and Daniu on the bed in batches.
Children of this age in the orphanage only have a small bed, which is the same size as the nap bed in the kindergarten. It is not easy for children to turn over when lying on it.
Now, there are so many more things on the bed, making it even more crowded.
But the little girl didn't mind, and she leaned her chubby little body over to leave a large space for her "babies".
This way, it wouldn't be empty, but An An felt like crying.
She was buried in the quilt, tears falling one by one, sobbing softly.
I miss Mom and Dad so much.
An An sniffed.
Suddenly, she heard a voice from outside.
"Why can't we go in?"
"If you are afraid that we will disturb other children, then please send An An out and we will take her away directly, and everything will be fine."
It was Dad's voice.
An An wiped her eyes blankly, climbed down from the crib, stepped on the ground with her little feet, and walked to the window.
It's Mom and Dad!
Little Tuanzi was surprised and happy, and ran out of the rest dormitory.
"Why didn't you listen to my advice?" Dean Wang was angry and amused, "Thank goodness I stayed on duty today, otherwise, the other teachers really couldn't do anything about you."
Mo Sui said, "I'm sorry, Dean Wang, it's not that we don't have a point, we just don't feel comfortable leaving the child alone. Since we're going to adopt him sooner or later, don't let An An suffer in vain."

Her tone gradually softened, but suddenly, she remembered a rule and her eyebrows jumped. "By the way, you two are so young, are you under 30 years old? According to the Adoption Law, a couple under 30 years old cannot go through the formal adoption procedures."
At this time, An An had already run over barefoot: "Mom and Dad!"
When the little ball ran, the soft hair was blown away by the breeze, revealing only the soft and sticky little face.
The child's eyes were very bright, as bright as the stars in the sky, shining, full of light and energy.
They had only been separated for a few hours, but the moment they saw her, Mo Sui and Gu Yicheng felt a sense of joy as if they had found someone they had lost.
Dean Wang had finished speaking, but Mo Sui didn't listen.
She had already hugged An An, who ran towards her.
At this hour, the couple ran over in a hurry, still holding An An tightly...
