Chapter 72 Chapter 72 The Headmaster's Secret
Lu Huainan was slightly stunned, then put on a familiar smile, and hugged Shen Muyun tightly in his arms, kissing his forehead non-stop, as if he had got a treasure.
Shen Muyun leaned in his arms, feeling his tenderness, as if this was the only person who always stood by him after he came here.
"Thank you, Huainan."
"Why thank me, Brother Yun?"
"Because of you, my life doesn't seem so hard anymore."
"Ahem, Mr. Lu, the Qi-replenishing soup you prepared, that..."
The housekeeper appeared at the door of the room pushing a small dining cart. He just happened to see the two people hugging each other and turned his head immediately.
Lu Huainan immediately let go, coughed lightly, and a blush appeared on the corners of his eyebrows. This was a state that Shen Muyun had never seen before. He chuckled softly.
The housekeeper couldn't say much and had to leave the place quickly. The smell of love became stronger and stronger.
Lu Huainan pushed the small food cart over, holding a bowl of soup, "Well, Brother Yun, your injury hasn't healed yet, let me feed you."
Shen Muyun knew that this was a deliberate trap set by Lu Huainan, but he still accepted it with pleasure.
He was lying on the bed, Lu Huainan's eyes swept across his red back, but he immediately looked away, fearing that he would do something next.
Lu Huainan picked up the spoon and said, "Brother Yun, this is wolfberry and yam porridge. I heard it's very good for replenishing qi and blood. You've been injured a lot recently and seem to be thinner than before. It hurts my heart to see you."
Shen Muyun's face suddenly turned red. What is this? Goji berries and yam? Is this saying that he is not good enough? Why did he suddenly think of that dishonest system? Hiss... It's outrageous.
Lu Huainan thoughtfully blew the soup cool, tested it, and then fed it to Shen Muyun's mouth.
Sweet yam with wolfberry, well, it tastes pretty good, just the kind he likes.
"Did you do this yourself?"
Lu Huainan's hand stopped mid-air while feeding the soup. "Well, I tried it a few times, but the first few times were not very successful. Luo Zhi said it was hard to drink. But the last time it worked, so I followed the instructions that time, and it's like this."
The corners of Shen Muyun's eyes turned red, "Well, I understand. How about we go out for a walk after dinner?"
Lu Huainan frowned and looked at the wound on Chen Muyun's body, "Brother Yun, do you really want to go out for a walk? The wound..."
Shen Muyun turned around and what caught his eye was Lu Huainan's worried face.
"Huainan, don't worry, it's not that serious. I'm fine, but the wound looks a little serious. After all, it's normal for the Shen family to be unacceptable to this matter. I also saw a document..."
Lu Huainan put down the soup bowl, picked up the peeler, and carefully peeled the apple. "What's the matter, Brother Yun? You're frowning."
“Actually, this matter may only be known to me, my father, and my mother. I saw Shen Liuyun’s adoption agreement.”
Lu Huainan applied a little force to the apple peel, and the originally continuous apple skin was cut off.
He even raised his eyes to glance at Shen Muyun, “Brother Yun, what’s going on with this matter?”
Seeing this, Shen Muyun had nothing to hide from Lu Huainan, so he told Lu Huainan everything he had seen.
Lu Huainan pursed his lips, as if he was thinking about something.
Until Shen Muyun finished speaking, there was another silence.
There are indeed many secrets of wealthy families, but this is the first time that an adopted son is valued more than his biological son. I'm afraid there is some hidden story behind this.
"Tongxin Orphanage?"
Lu Huainan looked at the apple in his hand, then cut it open bit by bit, took out the core, and threw it into the trash can beside him.
She even carefully cut the apple into small pieces and placed them on the bedside.
"The Lu family has always supported this orphanage, but they haven't been involved in its operation. Probably not many people know about what you're talking about. So, it seems like there's something fishy about my sister's marriage. Originally, Liuyun was excellent, but..."
Shen Muyun's eyes darkened a little. After all, in their eyes, he was indeed not outstanding.
Lu Huainan noticed Shen Muyun’s mood and immediately hugged her in his arms.
"No matter if you are good or not, the person I like is you. It's a natural attraction. Don't worry."
Shen Muyun nodded, but he felt a little uncomfortable as if a stone was pressing on his heart.
"Brother Yun, why don't we wait until you feel better and go to Tongxin Kindergarten together? After all, that happened thirty years ago, and maybe we can still find relevant files."
Shen Liuyun nodded in agreement.
——
Tongxin Kindergarten is in the south of the city, which is the property of the Fu family. The two people wanted to go and see the man named Fu, but he was not there, so they gave up.
Maybe it was because of the autumn rain that brought a chill, and many leaves fell to the ground. The sycamore trees lost their summer charm, and the remaining leaves hung alone on the branches.
The leaves under their feet made a creaking sound. They took a few steps and saw the gate of the orphanage. The lock on it was a little rusty. The gatekeeper on the side was singing a little tune leisurely.
"Uncle, uncle, open the door!"
The old man inside didn't move, probably still listening to music, and didn't notice the person outside the door at all.
Shen Muyun and Lu Huainan stood in the wind, shivering in the autumn wind.
"I'll contact the principal."
Lu Huainan directly called the director's phone number, but unfortunately, the director was not there, so he could only call the gatekeeper.
The two waited at the door for a while, and saw the old man slowly stand up, walk to the door and look outside.
"Are you here just to visit the orphanage?"
Shen Muyun and Lu Huainan nodded.
The old man unlocked the door and said, "There are very few people coming here. They are all orphans. In the past few years, the policy has been tightened, and the number of people coming here to adopt children has also decreased significantly."
The two followed the old man and listened to him chattering about the past of the orphanage. There was nothing special about it. This orphanage had been running for almost fifty years, and there were many children coming and going. Some of them became employees here and never left.
"Uncle, where is the archive room here?"
He pointed, "That's the building in the back. It's lunchtime right now, so you won't see any children. They wake up around three o'clock. If you like children, come here around three o'clock. You're guaranteed to see a lot of them."
The two men thanked the gatekeeper and walked straight into the archive room.
There was still someone watching at the door, but perhaps because they had received a letter from the director, the two of them entered extremely smoothly.
"Here are the files from the time the garden was founded. Some of them might be missing. They are all about children who died early, without even having a name. Take a look at them. You can ask me if you have any questions."
The two responded.
"Brother Yun, these files seem to be sorted by time. Why don't we look for the one where Liuyun was born?"
There are a lot of files. After all, they are all here for more than 50 years. Even if there are some that died young, there shouldn't be many.
Shen Muyun acquiesced to Lu Huainan's proposal.
As I walked in front of the file rack, an inexplicable memory suddenly flashed back.
It seems like what they looked like when they were children.
"Brother Liuyun, look, there's someone with the same name as you!"
Shen Liuyun immediately walked over, saw the file, and covered Shen Muyun’s mouth, “It’s okay, it’s just the same name, it’s not a big deal, Muyun, you can’t tell anyone about this, including your friends.”
Shen Muyun nodded, "I understand, Brother Liuyun."
"Brother Yun, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Huainan patted his shoulder gently, and Shen Muyun suddenly woke up from his memories.
What does that mean? He can't tell anyone. Could it be that he knew that Shen Liuyun was adopted when he was a child?
Following his previous memories, Shen Liuyun came to the file shelf, and sure enough, it was this location, he was not wrong at all.
Lu Huainan didn't understand what was going on, so he just followed Shen Muyun, "Brother Yun, how did you know you were here? Do you have any special abilities?"
Shen Muyun shook his head, "I can only say that I seem to have been here before, when I was about 6 or 7 years old, but how could I have forgotten such an important thing?"
The moment Shen Muyun's fingertips touched the file rack, he felt a little dizzy. It was a feeling he had never experienced before, uncomfortable, and it seemed like he remembered something.
It was him and Shen Liuyun playing hide-and-seek here.
"Muyun, you can't peek!"
Little Shen Muyun covered his eyes tightly and cheated a little while counting down. He saw the outside through the gap between his fingertips.
Shen Liuyun went straight to the shelf, took out the file that belonged to him, seemed to pull something out of it, and then put it back in.
"Brother Yun, Brother Yun, are you feeling unwell? No, it seems I still need to get a comprehensive checkup."
When Shen Muyun heard Lu Huainan's voice, he shook his head awkwardly. "Um, Huainan, I'm fine. I just remembered some things from my childhood. I really forgot them all. Maybe it's been too long, and I only remembered them after coming here."
"What's going on?"
"Actually, I think I knew he was adopted when I was a kid, and the document in his office was taken from here. I remember a game we played when I was a kid, but I didn't stop him from taking the file, so it never appeared in front of anyone again."
The head teacher hurried over and saw the two people chatting, so he walked forward a few steps.
"It turns out to be Master Shen and Mr. Lu. We went to purchase some supplies today. I didn't expect you to come. This is the archives room. Are you here to adopt a child?"
The two of them smiled and naturally understood that the news about them should have been on the hot search. Well...that should be the case.
"Well, we're here for one person."
The orphanage director looked at the two people in confusion, "Who are they?"
“Director, you should remember the situation regarding Shen Liuyun, the eldest young master of the Shen family.”
The director's eyes were evasive, as if there was indeed some hidden secret.
