"Um... I made breakfast, that's why I arrived just in time!"
Cheng Yiyi handed over a cup of soy milk and a sandwich.
Meng Lianyun's eyes lit up with surprise: "For me?"
Cheng Yiyi: "No? Then I'll eat it myself."
Meng Lianyun quickly snatched it away:
"Yes! Of course I want it! I haven't eaten anything this morning, I'm starving!"
Meng Lianyun ate the sandwich in big bites.
Cheng Yiyi's cooking skills were naturally not as good as the Meng family's chef, but the food was indeed very delicious.
Seeing him wolf down his food, Cheng Yiyi inexplicably wanted to laugh.
While eating, Meng Lianyun kept glancing at Cheng Yiyi out of the corner of his eye.
Her attire remained simple and clean: a white top, a pink plaid skirt, and a pink coat over it.
She had her hair tied in a bun with a cute white bow on it. She had no makeup on, except for a little bit of lipstick on her lips, which looked shiny.
Meng Lianyun couldn't help but recall that kiss from back then.
Although he is usually promiscuous, he doesn't just touch any girl casually. Last time, he didn't know why he got carried away and kissed her.
In retrospect, it wasn't entirely his fault; the girl's lips were just too alluring.
Perhaps Meng Lianyun's gaze was too obvious, because Cheng Yiyi also noticed that he was staring at her. She was so frightened that she quickly moved away and covered her mouth.
"Meng Lianyun, why...why are you staring at me like that!"
"Let me tell you, if you do anything to me again, Qingqing's pill will make you infertile!"
Meng Lianyun immediately looked away:
"They won't let us kiss, and they won't even let us look at each other!"
"Don't worry, I don't want to be a man forever, I won't do anything to you!"
Cheng Yiyi remained vigilant and dared not approach Meng Lianyun within two meters.
Seeing this, Meng Lianyun couldn't help but laugh, then took out a stun gun from his pocket and handed it to her:
"Here you go. If I act up again, just shock me, okay?"
Cheng Yiyi tentatively took the stun gun, and as soon as she turned it on, a crackling sound of electricity rang out.
"Now you can rest assured!" Meng Lianyun said with a smile.
Cheng Yiyi carefully put the stun gun away, then quickly finished her sandwich in a few bites.
"Let's hurry up and set off, there are so many things we need to buy!"
"Alright, let's go!"
Cheng Yiyi directed Meng Lianyun to drive to the wholesale market first, where they bought a lot of rice, flour, cooking oil, as well as some vegetables and fruits.
She originally only wanted to buy a few dozen kilograms, but Meng Lianyun waved his hand and sent a whole truckload, just like hoarding goods during the apocalypse.
He also bought dozens of sets of children's clothes, ranging from one or two years old to eleven or twelve years old, in all sorts of styles.
"Meng Lianyun, you don't need to buy so much," Cheng Yiyi quickly advised.
Meng Lianyun, however, refused to listen:
"It's alright! This little bit of stuff isn't even worth a single wheel of that sports car. Anyway, it's a good deed, so let's buy more!"
Seeing how eager he was, Cheng Yiyi could only let him be.
After purchasing the supplies, the two headed straight to the orphanage.
Cheng Yiyi also bought two three-tiered twelve-inch cakes so that the children and staff at the orphanage could all get some.
Upon seeing so many supplies, the 80-year-old director hurriedly stepped forward, leaning on his cane.
"Yiyi, why did you buy so many things? Your parents don't earn money easily, and you're still in school. There's no need to buy so many things."
"Grandpa Xing, don't worry, my parents didn't have to pay for these things. They were all given to me by that rich young master."
Cheng Yiyi pointed at Meng Lianyun and laughed.
The dean adjusted his reading glasses, glanced at Meng Lianyun, and then smiled:
"Girl, is that your boyfriend? He's really good-looking. You have great taste!"
Cheng Yiyi blushed and quickly explained:
"No, no! Grandpa Xing, you've misunderstood. He and I don't have that kind of relationship!"
"No? Then why is he following you?"
"Uh... him..."
Just as Cheng Yiyi was about to make an excuse, Meng Lianyun preemptively answered:
"Grandpa Xing, I've come with her to apologize. I upset her a while ago, so I have to do something for her!"
"Oh, oh~" Grandpa Xing looked like he understood.
"Young people, you're arguing!"
"Grandpa Xing, my relationship with him is really not what you think!"
Cheng Yiyi tried her best to explain, but the dean just wouldn't believe her and even advised her:
"Yiyi, I think this young man is quite nice. He bought so many things, which shows his sincerity. Don't be angry."
"I've already said I forgive him, but we're really not boyfriend and girlfriend!" Cheng Yiyi said helplessly.
Meng Lianyun, fearing that Cheng Yiyi would be provoked again, quickly echoed her:
"Dean, you've really misunderstood. Yiyi and I are just ordinary friends."
The headmaster smiled broadly, like a doting aunt: "Just friends, huh? Okay! Grandpa understands, you're just friends."
Now it was Meng Lianyun's turn to be speechless.
He shrugged at Cheng Yiyi, indicating that he was also helpless.
Cheng Yiyi sighed, no longer wanting to explain.
"Grandpa Xing, you rest, let's go distribute the supplies to the children!"
After Cheng Yiyi finished speaking, she and Meng Lianyun slipped away. If they had stayed any longer, the two of them could have carved out a three-bedroom apartment on the spot.
Thanks to the supplies they brought, every child had braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs for lunch.
The orphanage was short of funds and had many children, so they could only eat meat once or twice a week, and it was always the most ordinary pork.
Seeing the satisfied expressions on the children's faces as they ate the meat, Meng Lianyun suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
Seeing his pale face, Cheng Yiyi quickly asked:
"Don't you like eating these ordinary dishes?"
Meng Lianyun shook his head: "No, I just felt a little emotional looking at these children."
Meng Lianyun sighed:
"If I hadn't seen them, I would never have imagined that someone could be so happy just from eating a little bit of meat."
"If my family's chef cooked the ribs like this, I wouldn't eat a single bite, but these are rare delicacies for them."
Cheng Yiyi couldn't help but chuckle:
"It's rare to see that Young Master Meng has such awareness."
"Cheng Yiyi, I've made up my mind!" Meng Lianyun looked at her earnestly:
“I will donate a batch of supplies here every month to ensure that these children can eat meat and wear new clothes.”
Cheng Yiyi nodded: "It's good that you think that way, but don't give them too much. Just enough to satisfy their basic needs for food and clothing is fine."
"Huh? Why? I also want to bring all the luxury items I don't use at home!" Meng Lianyun asked, puzzled.
"No! Absolutely not!" Cheng Yiyi warned him sternly:
“Meng Lianyun, I know you’re not short of money, but these children’s lives should not be given to them by charity, but should be in their own hands.”
"These children are only twelve or thirteen years old. If they can get things that ordinary people can't get in their entire lives just by acting pitiful and acting pitiful in front of you without having to do anything every day, what will they become?"
Hearing this, Meng Lianyun's heart trembled; it was the first time he had ever heard such words.
