"Comrade Lin, come back with us quickly, it's too dangerous outside." The men caught up with her, grabbed the woman on both sides, and pleaded with her.
The woman hugged the rag doll, muttering, "Go home, go home..."
Li Xiyue recognized one of the people as someone from the orphanage. She had seen him when Ye Tian took her there two years ago.
They stopped him and asked, "Comrade, are you from the welfare home? What are you doing here?"
"Hello, comrade, we are indeed from the welfare home. This Comrade Lin is also from our welfare home. She suffered brain damage from a high fever when she was a child and was abandoned by her family. Our welfare home took her in, and she has been living here ever since."
“She ran out when we weren’t looking today. She’s not mentally sound, she can’t recognize people, and she can’t see where she’s going. It’s too dangerous for her outside.”
Li Xiyue saw that the other party did not seem to be lying, and the woman's clothes were clean and tidy, her hair was loose but combed, and her complexion was rosy, so she did not seem to have been abused.
"That's all for now, we have to take her back. If the dean finds out, we'll be in big trouble." After saying that, the man caught up with his colleague and quickly left with them.
Li Xiyue watched their departing figures, pondered for a long time, and then rode away on her bicycle.
She met Xiaobai waiting for her at the entrance of the alley. Xiaobai smelled the aroma of roast duck and jumped up and down, "Yueyue, are we having duck tonight?"
"Yes, the duck head and the duck's butt are both yours," Li Xiyue said with a smile.
Xiao Bai's mouth watered. "A Xun made bone broth at home. It smells so good!"
"Then we're in for a treat tonight."
When she got home, she could already smell the aroma of food. She parked her car in the yard and took the groceries into the kitchen.
"You're back. Why are you so late today?" Liao Qingshan asked as he was tending the fire in front of the stove.
Li Xiyue waved the wine and dishes in her hand, "I went shopping."
"You could have just told me you wanted roast duck, why did you have to come all this way yourself?" Chu Xun took the food and drinks. "You must be tired."
Li Xiyue shook her head and winked at Chu Xun, "A Xun, I need to talk to you about something. Come here for a moment."
The two talked in the room for a while before coming out, after Liao Qingshan had brought all the food to the table.
"What are you whispering about? Can't even I hear it?" Liao Qingshan asked, displeased.
Li Xiyue laughed and said, "It's nothing. I'm just going to Jiangsu Province in a couple of days to attend a friend's wedding. I'm asking Ah Xun if he's free to come with me."
"Is he free?" Liao Qingshan asked.
Li Xiyue shrugged.
Liao Qingshan understood. "Another mission, huh?"
"Unfortunately, I have to leave tomorrow." Chu Xun also felt somewhat apologetic.
Liao Qingshan waved his hand, "Let's eat."
During the meal, Chu Xun was not in a good mood. He finished his food quickly and left in a hurry.
Liao Qingshan asked, "What? Is Xiaobai chasing him?"
noob:"??"
"No, he has something urgent to attend to." Li Xiyue hugged his arm and coaxed, "Grandpa, please be more understanding of him."
Soldiers defend their country, so they naturally don't have much time to spend with their families. They can't be both loyal to their country and filial to their parents, which puts a lot of pressure on them.
Liao Qingshan glared at him and said, "Look how much you care. He's your boyfriend, not mine. You don't mind him disappearing every few days, so why should I care?"
"Grandpa~" Li Xiyue gave him a reproachful look.
Liao Qingshan's expression changed. "I misspoke. Bah, bah, bah, children speak without thinking."
Li Xiyue burst out laughing.
In the dead of night, several people sneaked into the orphanage. They were extremely agile and passed by silently.
However, they searched the entire orphanage but couldn't find their target. Fearing their whereabouts would be exposed, they had to return empty-handed.
As soon as Ye Tian entered the orphanage carrying several net bags of things, he noticed several unfamiliar faces and frowned.
"Director Ye, you've arrived." Dean Ding Mao walked into the office and saw Ye Tian sitting inside. He quickly walked over with a smile.
Ye Tian smiled faintly, "Dean Ding, why are there several unfamiliar faces at the orphanage today?"
