Chapter 105
The old director has been taking care of the children in the orphanage since she was young, and none of the children who grew up in the orphanage do not respect her.
After years of hard work, this kind director has been in poor health. In recent years, she has been completely unable to bear the slightest work, so she handed over all the affairs of the welfare home to the deputy director, and she can finally have a good rest.
Originally, according to everyone's thinking, what happened today was not a pleasant thing, and everyone did not want to make the old dean upset about these things.
But unexpectedly, after waking up from her nap, the old dean unexpectedly heard the sirens of a police car leaving. So when the deputy dean came to take care of her, she insisted on asking what had happened.
The vice president was really unable to persuade him, and was also worried that the old man might get distracted and hurt himself, so he had no choice but to bring the matter to light. This is why the old president came straight here instead of going to see his idol, Maori Kogoro, after leaving the house.
The originally noisy crowd soon quieted down, and the people who were crowded together quickly dispersed to both sides, revealing Satoshi Kagamineo, who was sitting on the ground in the middle with a tattered laptop in his arms that he got from nowhere.
However, at this time, Hoshikawa Kazuaki and Kagamino Satoshi had no time to communicate. Like everyone else, they all looked at the old lady who was sitting in a wheelchair in the distance and was being pushed slowly towards them by the vice-president.
Xingchuan Heming had not seen the old director since he left the welfare home. Now that he had come back, he actually felt that the old director looked better than he did three years ago. It seemed that the deputy director had indeed taken good care of the old director in the past three years.
Kagino Satoshi left too early, and many of his memories of the orphanage have long been blurred, but he still remembers the old director very clearly.
As the nominal owner of the welfare home, the old director first greeted Hoshikawa and Akira according to etiquette, then apologized very apologetically for the fact that such a corruption gang had emerged in the welfare home, and then thanked Date Kou and Hagiwara Kenji.
Xingchuan and Ming knew that this had nothing to do with the old dean, so they comforted her along with everyone else. Then, the topic turned to the reason why everyone was still gathered here.
While Mr. Nakajima was explaining the story to everyone again, Hoshikawa and Akira finally had time to communicate with Kagano Satoshi in their consciousness.
Hoshikawa Kazuaki: You have messed up the plot so much that we have to change the next plan. I originally wanted you to attract the teachers' attention and express your grievance and sadness as much as possible, and then I would pretend to be attracted to you and come over to complete the confrontation.
But now, you actually changed the plot to the investigation of online rumors about Kitajima Shinichi. So many people came to you to check whether they had been rumored, and the recollection of the past became a sideshow. This has completely deviated from the previous script.
Kagino Satoshi: However, more people came and everyone believed that many of the things that Kitajima had fabricated were just rumors. Now when I tell them that Kitajima had been misinterpreting and making up rumors about that incident, everyone will believe us. I have accomplished my mission.
Hoshikawa Kazuaki: ...In short, the script must be changed. It just so happens that the old dean is here at this time, so if we add her in, she will be more valued and more convincing.
However, since your hacking skills have been exposed in this situation, the previously planned ending must be changed...
In reality, after the old dean learned that Kagino Satoshi had helped everyone clarify many rumors caused by Kitajima Shinichi, her first reaction was to look at Kagino Satoshi with mixed feelings. After squinting her eyes for a long time, she said with emotion:
"It turns out that Xiaozhi is really back! Xiaoxing has been waiting for news from you for so many years. He even called me two days ago to ask about you. Fortunately, you two finally meet again, and you both have such great abilities. This is really great."
Kagino Satoshi hesitated for a moment, then said with some embarrassment:
"I'm sorry I haven't come back to see you in all these years. I actually thought that everyone here had forgotten me.
Moreover, it was only after I received Xiaoxing’s invitation that I realized that even after so many years, Xiaoxing still missed me. I had thought that he would not want to see me again.”
This is indeed the true feeling of Kagino Satoshi. After all, after being personally evaluated by Hoshikawa Kazuaki, he said that Kagino Satoshi is really not good at acting. So after learning from the previous lesson, Hoshikawa Kazuaki designed all the plots designed in the future to revolve around Kagino Satoshi.
After Kagino Tomozai finished speaking, he looked at Hoshikawa Kazuaki with a complicated look, then lowered his eyes again and said dejectedly:
"Also, I just found out today that the despicable Kitajima Shinichi maliciously spread rumors to discredit Xiaoxing, even slandering him as a poor bug that I had abandoned."
Even though Kitajima Shinichi had already been taken away by the police, Kagino Satoshi still couldn't help but clench his fists and grit his teeth in hatred when he talked about this incident.
The old director's smile was as warm as the kindly old lady in every literary work. She waved her hand and called Kagino Satoshi to her front, then reached out and patted Kagino Satoshi's clenched fist, then turned to the teachers and students of the welfare home who had gathered around, especially in the direction of Hoshikawa Kazuaki, and slowly began to talk as if she was looking back on the past.
"Xiaozhi and Xiaoxing came to the orphanage when they were very young. They grew up together and, because they were of similar age, they always liked to play together. Among all the children, they were the most tacit playmates and best friends.
I still remember one day, a couple came to the orphanage and said they wanted to adopt a child of six or seven years old. At that time, only Xiaoxing and Xiaozhi were the most suitable age, so I suggested that I take them to see the two children in person.
It happened that day that Xiaoxing took Xiaozhi to play under the Wall of Honor. One of them was drawing on the wall and the other was writing on the wall. As a result, they were caught by the teacher in charge of discipline.
Xiaoxing stepped forward first and took all the responsibility, so he was put in solitary confinement. So when I brought the couple over, I only saw Xiaozhi standing there looking unhappy.
We first saw the painting on the wall, and then saw Xiaozhi with an unhappy face. We immediately understood that the child was naughty and was scolded by the teacher.
The couple really liked children, so they wanted to tease Xiaozhi, so they asked him what the marks on the wall were.
The old dean seemed to be thinking for a while, as if he was not remembering clearly. Then he asked Kagano Satoshi with a smile:
"I remember you talked to that couple at that time. What was it? I'm a little old now, so I don't remember it clearly."
Kagino Satoshi had already felt embarrassed when he heard the old dean telling others about his own life. Now he had to repeat what he had said before. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole to hide himself.
Hoshikawa Kazuaki knew very well that Kagamino Satoshi had been shy and timid since childhood, and he would definitely be embarrassed to speak out in public at this time.
He was about to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't expect that Kagino Satoshi was so sensitive at this moment that he noticed something before he opened his mouth. He looked over in the direction of his sight, and his slightly red eyes made Xingchuan and Ming stunned. The words of comfort they wanted to say were stuck in their throats and they didn't have time to say them.
When Kagino Tomo saw the complicated look in Hoshikawa and Ming's eyes, he suddenly felt a huge panic in his heart. Over the years, he had been afraid countless times that Xiaoxing would dislike him and that Xiaoxing would resent him because he was adopted. All these emotions suddenly came to him at once.
He staggered back a step, not caring about the many people waiting for his answer. He just looked pale, lowered his head and whispered:
"Sorry, I don't remember either. I'll leave for a moment."
Having said that, he turned and hurried away.
Kenji Hagiwara frowned worriedly and wanted to catch up immediately, but he didn't expect someone to be faster than him.
As soon as Hoshikawa Kazuaki saw Kagamino Satoshi staggering back, he had already guessed that he was trying to escape. So he was prepared and chased after him when Kagamino Satoshi turned around, and before leaving, he politely said:
"Don't worry, I'll go see him. Please tell everyone the story."
Hagiwara Kenji paused and took back his step. He understood the meaning of Hoshikawa Kazuaki's last sentence, which was that he didn't want Kagano Tomo to continue to be viewed with suspicion by others, so he turned around and looked at the old dean, smiling and saying:
"Since the person involved is embarrassed, I can only trouble the old dean to tell us what happened afterwards."
The old dean watched the two children run away, sighed helplessly, then looked at Hagiwara Kenji and said with a smile:
"It seems that the policeman has already guessed it. It's not that I really can't remember it, I just want Xiaozhi to say it himself. Unfortunately, it seems that this approach is still too early for the child."
After saying this, she looked at the people in the welfare home in front of her. After what happened just now, everyone was very curious about what happened back then, but out of respect for the old director, they waited patiently.
The old dean sighed, fell into his memories again, and told the whole story to everyone.
“The couple actually loved children, but they didn’t have much experience with children, so they scared Xiaozhi when they first met him.
They thought Xiaozhi was very cute at that time, so they decided to tease him. They pointed to the Wall of Honor which was painted in a mess and asked him what was going on.
However, Xiaozhi's answer made them immediately decide that this was the child they wanted to adopt. "
…
After all, Kagino Satoshi is a programming geek, and his physical fitness is not even comparable to that of Hoshikawa and Ming who are in a weak period. He started to pant after running only two steps.
However, he didn't expect that Xingchuan and Ming would also chase after him at this time. When he was panting heavily and had no time to dodge, they directly grabbed his arm and ran with him. Kagino Tomo was immediately tired and dizzy. He could do nothing but be carried and run.
When Hoshikawa and Ming finally stopped, Kagamino Satoshi almost immediately dropped to all fours, gasping for breath towards the ground, as if he wanted to breathe his lungs out.
When he finally caught his breath, he struggled to get up from the ground with the help of Xingchuan and Ming. But when he looked up and saw where the two of them were, he was stunned.
They were standing in the only empty area in the orphanage without a bamboo forest, and standing in front of them was Kagino Satoshi's last memory of the orphanage - the Wall of Honor.
