Chapter 229: Scene 16 (Inverted V) Nanshan Chicken Patties...
"C-Can I do this?"
"Of course, believe in yourself, you can do it."
"Are you serious? She should be in charge, right? Is my life in danger?"
"She's a very nice person. If you get caught, just act a little cute and it shouldn't be a big deal."
"'Nothing serious'...? So, does that mean it'll be a minor incident?"
"Then it depends on your ability." He Yuezhe patted Ban Weile's shoulder with a smile, then jumped into the backpack that was already on Ban Weile's back. "Okay, now that all the questions have been answered, I'll hide."
"No, no, no! Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute!" Ban Wei Le's whole body trembled. He looked at the "Red Sun Orphanage" in front of him in horror, took a few steps back, and fell to the ground. "Pomegranate, I, I can't do it. I'm scared. What if I die in there!?"
"This is an orphanage, Ban Weile, not the shady workplace you think it is," He Yuezhe reassured him. "Don't worry, I'm here. I'll ensure your safety."
"..." Ban Weile swallowed tremblingly, "Really?"
"Really, really, really! I never lie!"
"Then I'll go in?"
"Um."
“…”
“…”
"It's getting late. If you don't come in, I have to go home. Someone is waiting for me at home."
"You, you, you, me, me... Pomegranate, you'd better come out. I'm really scared!"
"no."
"W-Why?"
“…”
"Pomegranate? Pomegranate?" Ban Weile closed his eyes, raised his head, and tried hard to hold back his tears. "I'm really scared. Please, please, come out and stay with me for a while..."
“…”
As she expected, at this time, Ban Wei Le was filled with fear of all workplaces because of what happened to his friend, and the fear was so strong that he would faint.
At the beginning, because they were the only children who depended on each other, they had to become strong quickly and be able to protect themselves. So He Yuezhe and Xiao Shu could only drag Ban Weile to try again and again, and his symptoms finally "improved".
However, since He Yuezhe still has a long time to accompany them...
"Pomegranate... Pomegranate... I... I...!!" Ban Weile slowly knelt on the ground, tears streaming into his mouth. He smacked his lips and said in a sticky voice, "I'm scared... I'm so scared..."
"I'm scared...if...I'm...like...them...I...Pomegranate...wuwawawawa...!!"
"Ban Wei Le." He Yuezhe sighed.
"W-What happened?"
He Yuezhe climbed out of the backpack, climbed onto Ban Weile's shoulders, and then jumped into his somewhat shoddy pocket.
"Let's go." He Yuezhe smiled and looked at Ban Weile.
This time, since she still has a lot of time, she is willing to accompany them to grow slowly, step by step, and down-to-earth, and eventually grow into what they want to be, rather than what this city, this society, or she wants them to be.
"Pomegranate..." Ban Weile opened his eyes, tears blurred his eyelashes. He rubbed them fiercely for a few times, then burst into laughter, "Pomegranate, thank you!"
Just think of it as being for him.
"You're welcome." He Yuezhe smiled at Ban Weile, then pulled up the nut that was jumping around at his feet.
"Sister, the mission is accomplished perfectly!" Little Nut raised his furry hands and saluted He Yuezhe.
He Yuezhe closed his pocket and patted its head: "Good boy."
This brings us to He Yuezhe’s original plan.
She originally planned to let Jiang Ruoshi out by Jiang Nuo, and then they would naturally see Ban Weile crying here. However, she later thought about it and decided that it would be better to save some face for the child. It would be better to leave a good impression on Jiang Ruoshi when they met for the first time.
"Ban Weile, take a deep breath, are you ready?" He Yuezhe leaned on the furry nut and yawned leisurely.
"I, I...!" Ban Weile, who had just been crying so hard that he was about to melt, had now become solid. "I, huh, huh, I, I, huh, huh..."
"Squeak."
"Shishi ...
"Who?!" Jiang Ruoshi's fierce voice sounded.
"That's perfect, I don't have to climb over the wall." He Yuezhe nodded with satisfaction.
“I I I I oh I I I I I…!!!” Ban Weile was shaking with fear.
"...Uh, kid, why are you here alone? Where are your family?" Jiang Ruoshi's voice softened.
“I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I…”
"Child, don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I'm the dean here. You can call me..."
"Hello, Dean Jiang. I'm Ban Weile and I live at 971 Shuihua Road. I have an older sister and an older brother, but they were all taken away, so I'm the only one left. I heard that the Red Sun Orphanage is very kind to the children, so I came here specifically to seek refuge with you—ugh—"
"Oh, oh, okay, little Ban Wei Le, are you okay?"
"I'm—oooo—"
“…”
"vomit--"
"Sister, did he vomit?"
He Yuezhe, who had become accustomed to all the actions Ban Weile could take out of fear, said calmly, "Yeah, it sounds like he's retching."
"Ban Wei Le, kid!" Jiang Ruoshi's voice trembled unusually. "I have some water here, and some paper."
"Thank you, Dean Jiang—ooh—"
Ban Weile retched violently for several minutes before he recovered and collapsed on the ground, sipping water in small sips.
"Little Ban Weile, you said you came to seek refuge with us?" Jiang Ruoshi squatted beside him, patted his back gently, and asked.
"Hmm..." Ban Wei Le nodded weakly. "I have nowhere to go. I hope you can take me in for a while. Once I become stronger, I will leave and won't bother you!"
"Child," Jiang Ruoshi stroked his head with his palm, his voice gentle, "You can stay with us forever. All the children here are like this."
"But..."
"Of course, if you insist on leaving, we won't stop you."
"Dean Jiang, can I really stay here forever? Really? Can I?" Ban Weile asked a series of questions. "What if there's not enough food one day? Will I be kicked out? If everyone doesn't like me, will I be kicked out? Dean Jiang, is everything you said true?"
"..." Jiang Ruoshi sighed and hugged him. "Child, these are not the problems you need to worry about. I will ensure that you have enough food and clothing. I will not break my promise. As for getting along with everyone, you are all very good children. The few disobedient ones left our orphanage a few days ago. I believe you, child, you will get along well with everyone."
“…”
"Child, don't be afraid, don't cry, the dean is here, the dean is here."
Jiang Ruoshi patted Ban Weile's back again and again. Ban Weile sobbed and followed her movements, then carefully stretched out his hands and hugged Jiang Ruoshi.
"Dean Jiang," he couldn't help crying, but he held back his tears, not wanting Jiang Ruoshi to despise him, "Thank you, thank you, I, I, thank you, thank you..."
"Don't cry, don't cry."
"Dean Jiang, thank you, thank you for taking me in," Ban Weile choked up, "Thank you, thank you..."
"Look at you, kid. Why are you crying so much?" Jiang Ruoshi let go, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a tissue, took his hands, and stood up. "Okay, stop crying. We should go in for dinner."
"Uh-huh……"
"Dean Jiang! Dean Jiang! It's time to eat!"
"Okay, Xiaojie, I'll be right there!"
"Dean Jiang! Why did you run out alone? It's very dangerous outside. You should call Hanhan and let her protect you!"
"Yes, yes, I will always call Hanhan when I go out next time."
"Dean Jiang..."
"By the way, Xiaojie, Hanhan, this is your new friend, his name is Ban Weile. Would you like to take him with you to dinner?"
Xiao Jie was a somewhat honest boy. He smiled foolishly at Ban Weile and held out his hand: "Okay, Ban Weile, I'll call you Lele from now on! Lele, let's go eat together!"
Hanhan was a girl wearing a small cape. She swung the cape generously and took out a paper knife from her waist bag and gave it to Ban Weile: "Ban Weile, right? This is my gift for you. From now on, you will be under my protection. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me and I will protect you! Now, it's time to replenish our energy. Let's go eat!"
"Dean Jiang..." Ban Weile turned around and looked at Jiang Ruoshi timidly.
"Come on." Jiang Ruoshi smiled at him gently.
Hearing this, Ban Weile swallowed his saliva, slowly turned around, took a few steps forward firmly, took the knife, and handed it to the two of them: "Okay, let's go eat together!"
Hanhan is a child who is very good at telling stories. Her story types include but are not limited to horror stories, adventure stories and fairy tales. On the way to the cafeteria, she and Xiaojie told horror stories in unison, which almost scared Ban Weile to death.
"Hey, Lele, are you okay?" Xiaojie felt a little embarrassed.
Hanhan waved her hand and said, "Yuejie, you carry him."
"good."
"Uh, no, uh, this is..." Ban Weile covered his face.
"Forget it, he doesn't want it, so forget it." Hanhan waved her hand again.
"good."
So the two of them had to carry Ban Weile to the cafeteria.
The cafeteria was full of children. Everyone was eating in an orderly manner. It was a little noisy, but it seemed particularly warm to Ban Weile, a poor child who had been hiking alone for such a long time.
It was not until he heard the thumping of his own heart that he realized how impatient he was.
"Here, Ban Weile, this is your dinner. Bring it up and follow us."
"Okay, okay..." A dinner plate was stuffed into Ban Weile's hand. He lowered his head and saw what was inside...
"Oh my god, this is Nanshan chicken pot pie?!"
"You know your stuff, kid!" Next to the three of them, a boy who was slicing meat patties in the Western style turned around and looked at Ban Weile in surprise, "This is made by our chef Chen Shu. How is it? Isn't it delicious?"
"It smells so good!!!" Ban Weile was deeply immersed in the aroma of Nanshan chicken patties.
"Oh, yes, where is Xiaoshu? Where did she go?" Hanhan asked the boy puzzledly.
The boy looked around and whispered, "She's gone to take food to Dean Jiang! She'll be back soon. Please be quiet and don't let her hear what we're saying!"
"Why?" Ban Weile tilted his head in confusion. "This Nanshan chicken has long legs, runs fast, and can fly. It's hard to catch, has a lot of bones, and the meat rots easily, not to mention these round patties. They're so troublesome to prepare. And that chef Chen Shu you mentioned can make it so delicious. She's clearly a very capable person!"
"Well, that's a long story," the boy scratched his head and turned around. "She just said that she had a bad experience in the past and she's not used to people praising her yet, but she should get better after a while."
"Oh, I see." Ban Weile nodded.
The three of them walked forward again.
Holding the fragrant Nanshan chicken pie, Ban Weile was wondering all the way who the Chen Shuo they were talking about was.
Could it be an experienced chef?
Or a young talented chef?
Or maybe...
"Um, you are the new Ban Weile, right?"
One, one...
"Dean Jiang asked me to ask you, what are you going to do with all these things on your back?"
A young, experienced, talented, old, chef...?
"Xiao Shu, you're back!"
"Uh ...
