Chapter 136 Returning Home
As the year draws to a close, the train station is bustling with people.
All sorts of people move about the station, creating a picturesque scene of human habitation.
Zhou Tianyi and An Yutang followed the flow of people toward the exit.
"Make way."
As I walked, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind me, accompanied by an anxious voice, getting closer and closer.
Zhou Tianyi and An Yutang stepped aside and looked to the side, where they saw two tall bodyguards in black suits swooping in.
They were very imposing, flanking a woman wearing a baseball cap behind them, whose face was obscured.
Judging from their entourage, they seemed to be quite powerful, and passersby around them curiously observed them.
However, the person was wearing a hat and mask, and their eyes were covered by sunglasses, so it was impossible to tell who they were.
"A celebrity? Doesn't look like one."
"It must be an internet celebrity; celebrities have far more bodyguards than this."
Some passersby stopped and stared, guessing what was going on.
Zhou Tianyi and An Yutang seemed completely unconcerned, and the two headed towards the exit on their own.
When the two arrived at the station entrance, they suddenly found that the entrance was already crowded with people.
A group of people occupied a large area, holding up signs and banners, swaying and gazing into the distance.
When the group saw the woman in the baseball cap in front of them, their eyes lit up and they immediately began to give her a warm welcome.
This scene naturally attracted the attention of passersby. It was at this moment that Zhou Tianyi and An Yutang realized that the woman in the baseball cap was a popular internet celebrity from a certain program.
Judging from the looks of it, it's quite popular.
"Didn't you expect that internet celebrities would have so many fans?" An Yutang asked with a smile when she saw Zhou Tianyi stop and look around.
Zhou Tian nodded after hearing this: "I really didn't expect that internet celebrities are already almost like stars."
"There's no way around it. In the era of short videos, internet celebrities are emerging, and the top internet celebrities have just as much traffic as stars."
Although Zhou Tianyi rarely pays attention to the current entertainment industry, he has learned about it to some extent from An Yutang.
"Judging from your tone, you seem to dislike internet celebrities?" Zhou Tian noticed the unnaturalness in An Yutang's tone and became curious.
"I guess so. It's too easy to become famous now, so many crooked ways have emerged, and this trend has indirectly affected many teenagers."
An Yutang spoke with a wistful tone, without saying much more.
"Haha, let's go. Every generation has its own experiences. We just need to do our job."
Zhou Tian smiled, took An Yutang's hand, and prepared to leave.
Meeting an internet celebrity was just a coincidence on the way home, nothing to mention.
Their destination was Qingshan Orphanage, an orphanage that had been established in Taohua County for nearly thirty years.
It is located on the edge of the city and is quite inconspicuous even in the old town.
Seven or eight years have passed, and Qingshan Orphanage has been renovated countless times. Although the orphanage is now brand new, the laughter and joy of the past are much less.
"The orphanage has been renovated several times, and the environment is much better now, but there are more and more orphans."
"The orphanage was taken over by the old director's daughter, Wu Qing..."
Standing in front of the orphanage, An Yutang introduced the changes that the orphanage had undergone in recent years to Zhou Tianyi.
Zhou Tianyi listened silently, but his thoughts suddenly drifted back to the past.
"Let's go in and take a look."
After a short while, Zhou Tianyi regained his composure, and the two followed each other into the orphanage.
The vast orphanage was unusually quiet.
"An'an?"
Not long after she went inside, the cleaning lady next to her recognized An Yutang.
"It's me, Aunt Luo, long time no see."
An Yutang greeted her with a smile.
"This is Aunt Luo."
"Long time no see, and who is this?" Aunt Luo replied with a smile, while turning her gaze to Zhou Tianyi.
"He's Tianyi, Aunt Luo, don't you recognize him?"
Upon hearing Zhou Tianyi's name, Aunt Luo fell into a brief moment of contemplation, then exclaimed with sudden realization, "You, you are Tianyi?"
Zhou Tianyi smiled and nodded: "It's me, Aunt Luo, long time no see."
Aunt Luo, who was over fifty, was overjoyed when she confirmed it was Zhou Tianyi, and she started dancing with excitement: "It really is you, it really is Tianyi..."
The commotion in the courtyard quickly attracted the attention of Dean Wu Qing. She hurriedly came out of her room and immediately saw Zhou Tianyi and An Yutang.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Qing called out softly. She was nearly forty years old, and the marks of time were already visible on her face. Perhaps because she was too tired, wrinkles had appeared at the corners of her eyes.
"Sister Qing." An Yutang was overjoyed to see Wu Qing and hugged her tightly.
Wu Qing was also very happy for An Yutang, and quickly grabbed An Yutang's hand and asked, "He, is he Tianyi?"
Wu Qing turned her gaze to Zhou Tianyi, scrutinizing him more and more closely, until An Yutang's voice rang out:
"He is Tianyi."
Upon hearing this, Wu Qingjiao trembled and quickly walked up to Zhou Tianyi, sizing him up.
With tears in her eyes, she said tremblingly, "Tianyi, you've lost weight."
Zhou Tianyi wiped away the tears from Wu Qing's eyes and smiled brightly: "Sister Qing, I'm back."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Wu Qing was so excited that she couldn't control herself and held Zhou Tianyi's hands tightly.
Having no children of her own, she had long regarded Zhou Tianyi as family, and it was inevitable that she would lose control of her emotions upon their reunion.
Zhou Tianyi let Wu Qing hold him back. After a while, Wu Qing calmed down and led Zhou Tianyi and An Yutang into the house.
Having not seen each other for a long time, Wu Qing chatted with the two of them about everyday things and old times. They talked until dinner time, and it was only when Aunt Luo called the three of them that Wu Qing agreed to come out for dinner.
