"I'm...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...Waaaaaah..."
"It's good that you're back safe and sound, it's good that you're back..." Without asking why, she understood that Shi had her own difficulties, and it was enough that she could see her again.
After crying for a while, Bai Shiying had cried all her tears. Dean Zhang gently wiped away her tears with a kind expression, jokingly saying, "Qianqian is so grown up and still cries so easily."
Bai Shiying smiled a little embarrassedly and took the tissue. "You're treating me like a child again."
"You'll always be a child in Grandma's eyes," Dean Zhang said with a loving smile, patting Bai Shiying's head.
Dean Zhang took Bai Shiying on a tour of the orphanage, and then led her to the place where the children were playing.
However, Xiao Hu didn't seem to recognize Bai Shiying. When she asked Dean Zhang who Bai Shiying was, she actually felt a little bitter.
Dean Zhang naturally noticed Bai Shiying's mood and introduced her to the children. The children clearly remembered the name Qianqian, and soon they were having a great time playing with Bai Shiying.
After playing for a while, Dean Zhang took Bai Shiying to another place for a walk.
"Grandma Director, how come the orphanage has changed so much?" Bai Shiying asked, voicing her question.
Dean Zhang chuckled. "This is all thanks to Xiao Wei. Speaking of which, where's Xiao Wei? Didn't he come back with you?"
"He said last time that he would definitely find you and bring you back. Didn't he find you? Or did he bully you? Tell Grandma, and Grandma will help you bully him back."
Bai Shiying shook her head, then lowered her head, her voice slow and sorrowful, "He found me, but I lost him."
"What happened? Did they have a fight?"
Bai Shiying recounted the events that had transpired in her life over the past few years to Dean Zhang.
"What a cruel twist of fate!" Dean Zhang exclaimed after hearing the story.
"Grandma Dean, can you tell me about Xie Wei's life these past few years?"
Dean Zhang took Bai Shiying's hand, patted it, and then began to speak.
“When your parents took you away, Xiao Wei was indeed depressed for a while. When I saw him again, he had lost a lot of weight. He came to me and apologized to Grandma many times, seemingly blaming himself for not being able to find you. Grandma doesn’t blame him.”
"Later, seeing him gradually return to the state he was in when we first met him, Grandma was very happy. Everyone thought he had let go, but actually, every time he came to the orphanage, he would look at your photo and stare blankly for a while."
"When Xiaowei was in college, he managed to get a lot of donations from kind-hearted people for the orphanage on his own. Later, the newly elected mayor introduced some new welfare policies, and the orphanage got better and better around that time."
"Later, when he finished college, I heard that he started another business, Qiyuan. Do you know it? He founded it. But he still comes every now and then, and each time he comes he brings a lot for the children."
"..." Dean Zhang told Bai Shiying a lot about Xie Wei. Bai Shiying listened quietly, her heart already calmed down.
Time seems to have changed a lot, yet it also seems that nothing has changed.
Tears welled up in Bai Shiying's eyes, but she maintained a smile throughout.
"It seems our Qianqian has made up her mind. Go for it, Grandma supports you."
(Ugh! I've only been back for a few days and my parents are already complaining about me. Is this how all college students are?)
