Chapter 772 Color: What is Cruelty
The only difference is that volunteers are different from regular employees like Shen Hanqing. They just have time to help.
So Qu Lin didn't come the next day because he had work.
Qu Lin didn't come, but the male lead Lan Senxi came.
Compared with the cold and abstinent Qu Lin, Lan Senxi is the gentle type.
He was wearing a long trench coat, and he looked handsome for sure. Although he didn't smile much, he gave people a refreshing feeling.
Those children also liked Lan Senxi very much. As soon as he arrived, a group of children ran over.
But he didn't pounce on Shen Hanqing like he did when he saw her. He just stood not far from Lan Senxi and called him brother obediently.
Lan Senxi bent down slightly, touched the heads of several children, and asked them how they had been doing recently.
The children told each other what they had done in the past few days in an orderly manner.
Lan Senxi said that he brought books and toys for everyone, and then asked someone to bring them to the children.
When the children were lining up to get their things, Lan Senxi walked towards Shen Hanqing.
How to say it, before the things that happened later, the relationship between Lan Senxi and the original owner was still good.
Lan Senxi asked naturally, "Are you busy recently?"
Shen Hanqing replied: “It’s the same as before.”
Lan Senxi raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "What's the matter? What happened? I see that you seem to be in a bad mood."
He felt this way because Shen Hanqing had always given him the impression of being very gentle and patient.
But today, Shen Hanqing seemed a little cold, and there was no smile on her face.
Shen Hanqing denied it, “No.”
Lan Senxi was not the kind of person who asked questions, although he still felt that Shen Hanqing was in a bad mood, but if she didn't want to, there was no need to continue asking.
He talked about something else. "Remember the girl I told you about last time who could make me see colors?"
"She... already has a boyfriend."
As he spoke, Lan Senxi sighed and smiled helplessly, "It seems there is no chance."
The girl that Lan Senxi was talking about was, of course, Qu Lin's sister, Qu Qu.
Shen Hanqing knew very well that according to the plot, Qu Qu’s current boyfriend would soon have an accident.
But now, it’s not necessarily the case.
Shen Hanqing looked at Lan Senxi and asked, "Is the colorful world beautiful?"
Lan Senxi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how to describe it. It's probably like eating bland food every day, and suddenly one day, you taste all kinds of delicious food."
Shen Hanqing asked again: "Then are you willing? Are you willing to return to a life without seeing colors after seeing a world full of colors?"
Lan Senxi was very calm. "There's nothing to be unwilling about. I have seen the world with colors, and that's enough."
"I can't disturb other people's lives just because I want more, right?"
I have to say, this male protagonist is really as calm and self-controlled as in the plot.
Shen Hanqing retracted her gaze, "Maybe." After all, not everyone would think so.
Lan Senxi didn’t talk about this topic anymore, but asked Shen Hanqing what he was going to teach the children to do today.
Shen Hanqing told Lan Senxi to draw.
Then Lan Senxi's expression became a little complicated.
Because these children cannot see colors.
There is no way to teach them colors when teaching them to paint.
This is a somewhat sad thing.
The children were innocent and didn't think too much about it.
When they heard that they were going to learn painting, they were very happy.
Everyone had already sat obediently at the table, waiting for Shen Hanqing to teach them how to draw.
Shen Hanqing stood in the front, while Lan Senxi stood at the back.
She asked the children, "What do you want to learn to draw today?"
The children were talking at once, some said they wanted to draw flowers, and some said they wanted to draw kittens and puppies.
There are all kinds.
Shen Hanqing said: “Then draw what you want to draw.”
When the children heard this, they were also very happy and said that Sister Hanqing was the best.
Shen Hanqing's eyes swept over the paint that had been piled up in the corner for a long time but no one had used it.
The children were all drawing very seriously, and one of the girls finished it very quickly.
She happily ran over with her painting and said to Shen Hanqing, "Sister Hanqing! Look at me, I drew a kitten! I even drew beautiful clothes for it!"
Children's drawings are very childish, but you can still tell what a cat looks like.
Shen Hanqing praised: “Great.”
The little girl was very happy to be praised.
Then Shen Hanqing asked: “Then do you want to color the painting?”
The little girl looked at Shen Hanqing blankly. They had no concept of the word color.
Because the director was afraid that these children would feel that they were different from others and feel inferior and sad, he never mentioned things like color in front of the children.
It even creates an impression for them that the world is only black and white.
Lan Senxi was also a little surprised when he heard Shen Hanqing say this.
Shen Hanqing took the little girl's hand and led her to the piles of paint, "Pick one."
The little girl took a box of paint and opened it under Shen Hanqing's gaze.
She was puzzled. "Why are there so many pens? Many of them are the same color."
Just as Shen Hanqing was about to speak, Lan Senxi also spoke, "Wait."
He felt that it was a bit too cruel to let these children know that they were different from ordinary people and could not see the colors of the world.
Shen Hanqing knew what Lan Senxi was thinking. She asked Lan Senxi, "These children, are they of school age? Some are even older than that."
Lan Senxi had a complicated expression when he heard Shen Hanqing say this.
Shen Hanqing asked again: “Are you going to let them stay here forever?”
Of course that is impossible. No matter what, they will have to leave this welfare home and enter society.
Lan Senxi did not stop Shen Hanqing anymore, indeed, he did not want the children to know that they were different from ordinary people.
It is a kind of protection for them now, but it will be cruel to them in the future.
Shen Hanqing looked back at the little girl who was trying hard to distinguish the differences between her paintbrushes, "Because, this world is not just black and white."
Her voice was loud and attracted the attention of many children.
Because they think that there are only black and white in this world.
The little girl asked Shen Hanqing puzzledly, "Then why can't we see it?"
Shen Hanqing looked at her and said, “Because you can’t see it now, you will be able to see it later.”
The little girl looked at Shen Hanqing with sparkling eyes, “Really?”
Shen Hanqing nodded, “Really.”
Then Shen Hanqing described other colors to the children.
The children's expressions were as if they had opened the door to a new world and felt very novel.
But that doesn't mean they are unaware of the problem.
One of the older children asked, "How did Sister Hanqing know the colors if we couldn't see them?"
