Chapter 95
Lin Zhipei's matter has come to a temporary end, and the three of them can actually go back to the orphanage to celebrate the Spring Festival.
At least this is the one Lin Zhipei has been looking forward to the most.
From now on he is free, and no longer has to live in fear as a "tool" controlled by Hua Hegu.
Zhong Huai returned to the orphanage earlier than them and did several important things.
The first thing, of course, was to supervise this disaster, which could be called the result of lax internal management, as the former director of the Institute of Supernatural Management. The second thing was to retrieve Lin Zhipei's household registration information.
It goes without saying that Lin Zhipei is definitely unwilling to be on the same household registration book with Hua Hegu. As for whether she will return to the orphanage or stay away from home, it depends on Lin Zhipei's personal decision.
The third thing was that the teacher of the Secret Text Lingyan Class took the initiative to find him.
Xi Siling didn't know his identity and was afraid of implicating other children in the orphanage, so she chose the secret text first. Zhong Huai didn't think there was anything wrong with this and it was an extremely correct choice.
And now it seems that the secret text is reliable. Si Sisina came to him naturally because of Lin Zhipei's matter.
Before knowing Lin Zhipei's "talent", Mi Wen only looked after Lin Zhipei in order to protect Xi Siling and Liu Huaqi, two promising students. But now, Lin Zhipei has also become the talent that Mi Wen longs to have.
Of course, Zhong Huai would not agree on behalf of Lin Zhipei. He only said that he would ask for Lin Zhipei's personal opinion after the New Year.
He owed this child too much. Even if the boy wanted to live a peaceful life from now on and no longer have anything to do with the supernatural world, he could protect him.
Since it is New Year's Eve, let's enjoy this hard-earned good time.
Xi Siling did not ask Liu Huaqi why he did not go home for the New Year. After all, he was a child who was reborn in this life. He knew that all his parents' love for him was calculated, and that he had reached his limit by enduring until now.
Going home for the New Year? What's the point of pretending to be a loving father and a filial son?
And since Si Ling didn't mention it, Liu Huaqi naturally pretended that nothing had happened and followed Si Ling and Pepe back to the orphanage with peace of mind.
Lin Zhipei certainly had doubts in his mind, but he thought that Brother Si Ling already knew it, so he didn't ask.
But as an elder, Teacher Tang Yang couldn't help but ask.
"Aren't you going home for the New Year? Are your parents not at home?"
The Liuhua family is very famous in the supernatural world, but no matter how famous they are, others cannot possibly know anything about their family relationships. Tang Yang was just asking with good intentions, and Liuhua Cui didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
He brought out the excuse he had already prepared.
"Teacher Tang guessed right. The timing was unfortunate. My parents were invited to do research in another city, so even if I went home, I would be alone..."
Tang Yang certainly didn't mean to send Liu Huaqi back home, so she immediately agreed, "Then spend the New Year here. Si Ling and Pei Pei must want you to stay, too."
Liu Huaqi subconsciously looked at the two of them, and sure enough, they were looking at him with a smile.
Especially Lin Zhipei, without those troubles, became more cheerful and lively.
"Great, 77 is staying to celebrate the New Year with us~"
New Year’s Eve is more lively than ever before, mainly because the children are happier.
New Year means new clothes and new gifts, as well as delicious dinners, because my older brothers and sisters, whom I couldn’t see often because of school, are back, so how could I not be happy?
Lin Zhipei was smiling happily at the New Year's Eve dinner. Many new children didn't know him, but after a few days they started to get used to calling him Brother Zhipei, and they felt completely relaxed.
Liuhuaqi is certainly not as lively as Linzhipei, but he is also relaxed and smiling.
The life of rebirth has undergone tremendous changes because of the completely different choices I made at the beginning.
Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.
Mr. Zhong Huai was drunk and was talking to Si Ling.
Pepé finished eating first and went to play with the children.
Teacher Tang Yang drank her drink slowly with a smile in her eyes.
That's great.
On the first day of the New Year, everyone got up very late, after all, they had stayed up all night the night before.
What Ling Xi Siling didn't expect was that Mr. Zhong Huai and Teacher Tang Yang sneaked in in the middle of the night and placed a red envelope next to his pillow.
In fact, both parties knew that the other was awake. After all, they were both psychics, so they had to be vigilant.
But even if I know, I won’t say it. The main thing is to create the atmosphere.
Compared with Xi Siling and Lin Cipei's calmness, Liu Huaqi seemed extremely nervous.
Someone breaking into the bedroom in the middle of the night was a terrifying thing no matter how you looked at it, and Liuhuacui didn't even think of the custom of giving red envelopes for a moment.
In other words, he didn't expect that the teachers would think of him when giving out red envelopes.
I lay on the bed pretending to sleep, but the sweat from my back almost soaked the sheets.
Fortunately, Tang Yang just put down the red envelope and left without staying long.
As soon as the door closed, the boy opened his eyes.
Mi Wu had already told him what Teacher Tang Yang had put down, but he still groped for the pillow and took the red envelope in his hand.
The festive red color can be seen in the moonlight, which represents the good wishes of the elders.
He was clearly just a passer-by, and he didn't know if he would have the chance to come here again, but Zhong Huai and Tang Yang still kept him in their hearts.
Liu Huaqi had naturally received red envelopes before, but the last time it was from two people who had been taking advantage of his "family" from beginning to end.
So this is the first time I have shown such sincerity...
That's great.
——
Liuhuaqi was worried about it the whole night and almost couldn't sleep.
Seeing that Si Ling and Pepe were still asleep, he went to the kitchen. Teacher Tang Yang must have gotten up by this time.
"Happy New Year, Teacher Tang Yang, thank you and Mr. Zhong Huai for the red envelopes."
This was the blessing he was thinking about and he had to say it out loud.
Tang Yang smiled gently, "Happy New Year, Xiao Qi, why don't you sleep a little longer? It's still early."
The boy shook his head, "I've had enough sleep. Let me help you."
Tang Yang did not refuse. This child is affectionate and grateful, but a little sensitive. I don’t know if it has anything to do with his family.
Lin Zhipei's escape from the sea of fire was also his contribution, so what if he was not the child who walked out of here? Since his parents could not give New Year's greetings, they would take the initiative.
It is the care of the elders for the younger ones, and also a gratitude for his help to Lin Zhipei and Xi Siling.
"That's troublesome."
Not long after, all kinds of blessings were heard outside.
Then he came in with a red envelope to thank Tang Yang.
After a while, Lin Zhipei heard the children say that Liuhuaci was here, so she also walked in.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Tang Yang! I'm sorry for making you spend so much money, hehe."
Lin Zhipei was in high spirits. She came to Tang Yang and picked up Liuhuaqi.
"Happy New Year, 77, you got your red envelope too!"
As expected, he still couldn't get used to Lin Zhipei's habit of touching him, but Liu Huaqi still chose to endure it and didn't avoid her.
It was the same in their previous life when their relationship was not so bad.
"Happy New Year, where's Siling?"
"I'm helping girls tie their hair outside. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at it, so I can't help."
Having found an excuse, Liu Huaqi moved aside without changing his expression.
"Then you come and help Teacher Tang Yang. I'll be out for a while."
The young man seemed not to have heard the meaning of escape in Liuhuaqi's words and let him go.
"Okay, Teacher Tang Yang, what can I do!"
After all, as a child who grew up in an orphanage, Xi Siling has a lot of seemingly "magical" skills.
For example, she helped girls tie their hair, helped Teacher Tang Yang fix the broken water pipe, and made sobering soup for the drunk Mr. Zhong Huai.
Even when the 618 light bulb broke, it was Siling who replaced it.
Liuhuaqi watched Xi Siling combing a little girl's hair with ease, and then called on the next one.
If you look closely, you can see that each of his hairstyles is different, satisfying the girls' desire to be unique and beautiful. No wonder he is so popular.
He also noticed Liuhuaqi coming out of the kitchen and giving him a bright smile.
"Happy New Year, 77."
Before Liu Huaqi could answer, the children around him said in unison, "Happy New Year! Brother Aqi!"
The boy still couldn't stand this scene. It made him seem like a popular figure among the kids. His facial expression didn't change much, but his ears had turned red.
"Happy New Year."
He could only answer woodenly. Fortunately, the children didn't care and went back to playing.
A little girl gave her seat to him, letting him sit next to Xi Siling, and went out to play with her friends.
Xi Siling had just finished combing the hair of the last girl and told her to go and play with her friends.
"Did you sleep well last night? Teacher Tang should have given you a red envelope, right?"
“I did, but…”
"But you feel a little sorry?" Xi Siling could easily guess what he meant.
This is normal. 77 suffered a lot in his previous life. People around him either betrayed him or fled. If someone had sneaked into his bedroom before, he would have thought that someone was going to kill him.
Xi Siling didn't want him to forget the past, but to be able to integrate into this real world to some extent.
The young man then nodded, which actually seemed a bit ungrateful.
It's clearly the kindness of others...
"Then maybe you should feel even worse."
Xi Siling took out a red envelope with his backhand and handed it to Liuhuaqi.
There was good-natured teasing in those eyes, and he repeated it again.
"Happy New Year, 77."
According to the custom in Shengjing, peers can also give red envelopes to each other, which means that they have a very good relationship.
Besides, Liuhuaqi has called him the "senior in the department" for half a semester, so it is reasonable for him to give him a red envelope on his own initiative.
And he also gave Pepe's share, so if he didn't give it to 77, wouldn't that be favoritism?
Liu Huaqi curled up his hands unconsciously, but finally stretched them out under his control. Not only Tang Yang and Zhong Huai, his elders, were thinking about him, but Xi Siling was also thinking about him.
After a long while, he took it with both hands with a stern face.
"...Thanks."
If he didn't keep a straight face, he was afraid of showing some ugly expression.
Xi Siling stopped teasing him and said, "Let's go, wash our hands and get ready for breakfast."
After breakfast, Xi Siling called important people one by one.
For example, Teacher Xishan, Minister Xiong Conghai and Teacher Si Sisina who just exchanged contact information not long ago, and then Li Ke and Lan Yi.
When wishing New Year's greetings to Li Ke and Lan Yi, Liu Huaqi was naturally brought over as well.
But Lan Yi's expression did not look relaxed. After hesitating for a while, he decided to ask.
"Si Ling, A Qi, are you free in the next few days?"
