Chapter 145 Exactly the same
Yunzhi raised her hand to touch her smooth cheek, shook her head, and said nothing.
She was referring to psychological age.
Having experienced two brushes with death, she felt like an old monster who had lived for a very long time. Even though her physical appearance was young, her heart had grown old because of all she had been through.
Yunzhi didn't want to continue the topic.
"Would you like to take me on a tour of your welfare home?"
Qin Ran had this plan in mind, but before that, they visited the dean.
The dean is a woman in her sixties.
Her hair was gray, her face was kind, and her demeanor made Yunzhi feel very comfortable, giving her a very good first impression.
The dean, trembling, grasped Yunzhi's hand and thanked her.
As she spoke, she was about to bow to Yunzhi.
Yunzhi quickly stopped her.
"Please sit down. I only did what I could. It's nothing."
"Thank you, Miss Yun." The reason was that her voice was old yet gentle.
Yunzhi looked around the dean's office.
The desk was old and peeling, and the decor was so simple that it was almost devoid of any ornamentation.
The fact that the dean was still wearing his leather shoes, which were already coming unglued, was proof of the dean's difficult life.
Later, Yunzhi learned that the director had never married or had children, and that she had dedicated almost everything to the orphanage and its children.
Yunzhi held the dean in high esteem.
Compared to the dean, the amount of money she donated was nothing.
She pondered whether to establish a foundation named after Tongtong to help orphanages and nursing homes across the country that are struggling financially.
This requires careful consideration.
Yunzhi only had this thought in her mind.
Midway through, Qin Ran was called away by the caregiver to help, leaving only Yunzhi and the dean in the dean's office.
"Miss Yun is just like what Aran said, beautiful and kind."
"Dr. Qin told you about me?"
Yunzhi looked at the dean with some surprise.
The dean nodded, and when Qin Ran was mentioned, he let out a long sigh.
“We’ve dragged Aran down. Otherwise, Aran would have been married and had children long ago. This child is just too grateful. Whenever he’s off work, he comes to the orphanage to help out. He hardly has any personal time for himself. I’ve tried to persuade him many times, but it’s no use.”
"He also remembers all those who have donated to or supported him, and he tries his best to repay them whenever he has the opportunity, even going so far as to..."
The dean paused here, then shook his head helplessly.
After hearing this, Yunzhi felt that it better reflected Qin Ran's excellent qualities.
"Dr. Qin knows how to be grateful, isn't that a good thing? I know what you're worried about, it's just that Dr. Qin is under too much psychological pressure and keeps everything bottled up inside. Don't worry, Dean, I will take Dr. Qin out more often to relax when we have time."
Yunzhi completely let down her guard against Qin Ran. If possible, Qin Ran would be a good friend she could confide in.
At least he doesn't have to worry about Qin Ran betraying him.
"Thank you so much, Miss Yun," the dean said, wiping away a tear.
Yunzhi was both amused and exasperated.
After a while, Qin Ran returned.
As the director pushed him out, he said, "Aran, why don't you show Miss Yun around the orphanage and let her get to know us?"
Before Qin Ran could say anything, she and Yun Zhi were locked out by the dean.
There was a snap.
Yunzhi and Qin Ran exchanged a smile.
Qin Ran coughed lightly, "Miss Yun, then I'll show you around the orphanage."
"sorry to bother you."
"No trouble."
Qin Ran took Yunzhi on a tour of the living quarters of the children at the welfare home.
Yunzhi looked at the mottled walls and the creaking wire bed that made a groan with every step, her heart heavy.
She almost burst into tears when she saw those toys that were broken beyond recognition but were still treasured by the children.
As a mother, she couldn't stand seeing her children like this.
Thinking of the warehouses filled with toys that Ye Ze had only glanced at before throwing away, and then looking at these pitiful children in front of him.
If it were her previous life, she would definitely bring Ye Ze here so he could experience for himself how good his life was.
However, thinking of Ye Ze's already completely ruined temper...
Even if I bring him here myself, he won't feel anything.
He'd probably yell and curse, looking at her with disgust, and ask her to take him away from here immediately.
She pursed her lips.
She stopped thinking about Ye Ze; in this life, whatever happened to Ye Ze was none of her business.
She adjusted her mindset and prepared to purchase a batch of toys to donate to the welfare home.
Qin Ran didn't notice Yunzhi's fleeting emotional change. He walked ahead and continued to show Yunzhi the sights and give her a tour.
The lobby of the welfare home was filled with photos.
The photos hanging at the very front are of the donors.
The following are some photos of the children at the welfare home, as well as photos of volunteers coming to the welfare home to take care of the children.
This is only a part; many more have been put away and are not hanging up.
Yunzhi had only glanced at it casually at first.
But when she saw one of the photos, her pupils suddenly contracted.
She stood in front of the photo, staring at it intently for a long time.
This is an ordinary photo, as ordinary as it gets.
But the person in the photo is no ordinary person.
Although the photo was framed, its yellowed and slightly curled edges proved that it was quite old.
She rubbed her eyes, and leaned closer, afraid she was seeing things.
The sight of the large figure and two small children in the photo made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Yu Baisu?
She was absolutely certain that the little girl in the photo, wearing a daisy dress, with pigtails, a small crown on her head, and a haughty expression, was Yu Baisu.
She's just a smaller version of Yu Baisu.
The little boy standing next to Yu Baisu, who was half a head shorter than her, thin and timid and dared not look at the camera, also looked somewhat familiar.
What is the relationship between Yu Baisu and this welfare home?
She bit her lip, completely baffled.
"Miss Yun, what's wrong? Is there a problem with this photo?"
Qin Ran, who had already walked quite a distance, noticed that Yun Zhi hadn't followed. She turned around and saw Yun Zhi standing in front of a photograph, looking at it intently. Curious, she walked over.
When Qin Ran saw the photo Yun Zhi was looking at, his eyes darkened. He suppressed the urge to walk over and block the photo from her view.
"Miss Yun, there are many more photos over there. Would you like to take a look?"
When did the dean find this photo and hang it up?
Yunzhi snapped out of her reverie.
She turned around, about to speak, but suddenly stopped.
She knew why the little boy looked familiar!
Qin Ran's eyes are exactly the same as the eyes of the little boy next to Yu Baisu.
