Atypical Heroine - Chapter 89
After hanging up the phone, Zuo Nanjin glanced at his watch. It was just seven o’clock. On the winding mountain highway, he looked at the open section where no car could be seen before and after. After driving for another ten minutes, the car finally drove onto the avenue.
“Nah, have you eaten the biscuits?”
Zuo Nanjin moved the rearview mirror and looked at the little girl in the back seat.
“eaten.”
Zuo Xiyao’s tone was a little sullen.
Zuo Nanjin’s sister-in-law, Zhang Qing, is enthusiastic about public welfare and often drives to some remote areas to do charity work.
I can only ask Zuo Nanjin, who was on a business trip to Lincheng, to help drive back.
The car is easy to say, but the niece has to ask her to send her back to S city.
The tens of kilometers of road, the adults will pass after a long time, and the children will really suffer when they sit in the back.
“Don’t be in a hurry, just rest for a while.”
Zuo Nanjin looked at the familiar road around him, and without hesitation for a few seconds, the car turned and headed for the supermarket chain to the south. Navigation report deviated from route.
She took Zuo Xiyao and walked around the supermarket, two shopping carts filled with various school supplies and snacks.
He took another box of yogurt and handed it to her.
“Aunt, do we buy that much?”
“For other kids.”
There is a hopeful elementary school along the Belt and Road, which was donated by Zhang Qing. She took Zuo Nanjin here many times, always saying that those children are little angels, and each of them is very cute.
Zuo Nanjin does have a little girl he cares about.
I haven’t seen her in a long time.
Zuo Xiyao sat in front of the steps of the supermarket and slowly drank the box of yogurt before returning to the car.
“Aunt, did you not come back when you went to America?”
“I will come back,” Zuo Nanjin explained while driving the car. “I will only work there for a few years. My aunt is not a fugitive, so how could she go out and not come back.”
“Oh…”
After more than ten minutes, the car drove to the gate of Hope Primary School.
From a distance, I saw a group of students surrounding me.
Zuo Nanjin said hello to the principal in advance, just saying that he hoped someone would come and pick up the things in the trunk. She originally just wanted to say a few words to the children she cared about at the end of class, and then she could leave.
I didn’t expect it to be so exciting.
Children wearing sports sweaters of different colors and styles stick together like a group of colorful chicks. Looking at her car, one by one jumped in place and laughed.
Zuo Nanjin was annoyed by the principal’s fuss.
Seeing this scene, there was a slight smile in my heart.
When the car stopped, the principal and the teacher asked the students to stand at the school gate and not run around, and two people came up to meet them.
“Principal Wang, Teacher Zhang,” Zuo Nanjin nodded and greeted slightly. Open the trunk, the school supplies are full of school supplies, please move them back to the school, “I’m sorry to bother you.”
“Where, we thank you before it’s too late…”
As usual, it is a greeting among adults.
When they went in with their things, the students surrounding the school gate were freed.
Zuo Nanjin found Ji Yu in the colorful chicks at a glance.
The little girl stood in the back, with a short stature, almost invisible to the surrounding classmates.
Eye to eye.
Her black and white eyes suddenly curved into crescent-shaped, clear and bright, like lake water with moonlight at night, and two lovely dimples floated beside the round smile on her cheeks.
Zuo Nanjin smiled and looked at her.
Ji Yu saw her smile still appeared on his face at that moment, but when he ran over, his body paused.
“Sister Zuo,” the child next to Ji Yu rubbed against her, and ran over to play coquettishly for her to hug. Most of them were still around, chattering, “Isn’t Sister Zhang here?”
“Will she come?”
Zuo Nanjin’s face is always expressionless, with delicate skin like white porcelain and delicate facial features.
She didn’t have the affinity for Zhang Qing with a baby face, so the children didn’t all jump up.
“…”
Zuo Nanjin responded, following Ji Yu’s gaze, and saw his niece, Zuo Xiyao, who rolled down the car window and was looking out.
“Can I go now?” he asked impatiently.
She is the same age as Ji Yu.
One is the little princess who has been doted on by her parents since childhood, and the other is Cinderella, who suffered and suffered with her grandfather. They looked at each other with completely different eyes.
After Ji Yu saw Zuo Xiyao, his eyes flinched, and then he followed behind the classmates around him. Stand quietly.
There was no more movement to run over and hug her.
Zuo Nanjin didn’t miss the inferiority complex that flowed out when her eyes were dodging, and she felt uncomfortable.
“…”
Zuo Xiyao got up early, raised her hand and yawned, and urged again, “Aunt, can you go back?”
“Are you sleepy?” Zuo Nanjin responded and turned to ask, “Do you want to come down and play for a while, or sleep in the car for a while?”
“Then I’ll sleep.”
Hearing this, Zuo Xiyao rolled up the car window, took off the small coat of the famous brand children’s clothing and put it on her body, lay in the back seat, and slept with her eyes closed.
She has been to many poor places with her mother, and she has no interest in this place.
“…”
It’s autumn and the car is lukewarm.
Zuo Nanjin looked at the uninhabited surroundings, measured the safety factor of this million-dollar SV, and locked her in the car with confidence, “Call my aunt if you have anything.”
Zuo Xiyao didn’t open her eyes, she dragged her tone “I know.”
Zuo Nanjin and Mr. Zhang who came out took the students back to class, then turned around and went to the principal’s office to talk about the specifics of the donation.
After accepting this “welcome across the aisle”, are you embarrassed to sign a check before leaving?
—
Zuo Nanjin came out of the principal’s room just in time for the students’ lunch break.
She went to the second floor and wanted to find Ji Yu for a meal.
According to the principal, the grandfather who took care of Ji Yu passed away, and she is now living in the orphanage in the town waiting to see if anyone is willing to adopt.
There shouldn’t be a chance to see you again in the future.
There is a small necklace in Zuo Nanjin’s coat pocket. It was originally a little thing to make her happy, but unexpectedly, it became a separate gift.
She sighed inwardly.
Before reaching the door of the classroom, a loud voice was heard in the corridor, “She must have stolen it!”
“That’s right, she must have stolen the money!”
“Ji Yu thief Ji Yu thief.”
“…”
A group of children are surrounding Ji Yu in the middle.
Teacher Zhang protected Ji Yu and said, “Can you talk nonsense if you don’t have any evidence? Is that what I usually teach you?”
“Teacher, you can’t find out if you search her schoolbag.”
The girl in the pink sweater standing in front pointed to Ji Yu and said, “She must have taken it. She was the only one with Wenwen and Qianqian in the classroom just now. I went out and the wallet disappeared.”
When Teacher Zhang saw Zuo Nanjin walking over, his expression froze, and then he smiled awkwardly.
Everyone knows that she likes Ji Yu the most.
She explained helplessly, “This girl lost a new wallet. I don’t know why. They all thought it was the wallet that Ji Yu took away. They asked who saw it, but no one came out to speak.”
Although there were three people in the classroom during the lunch break, no one else was suspected.
Because Ji Yu’s family is the poorest.
The fourth-grade elementary school students seem to have a small society.
Zuo Nanjin squinted slightly, and looked straight at the girl in the pink sweater. She didn’t say anything, so she was inexplicably weak.
“…”
Zuo Nanjin went to hold Ji Yu’s hand and took her out of the classroom.
In a place where there is no one else, he squatted down and asked kindly, “You obviously didn’t take it, why don’t you explain it to your classmates?”
“I don’t want to talk to them.”
“That’s the problem. You don’t even want to talk to them. How can they be your friends?”
“…”
Zuo Nanjin sighed helplessly, this little girl is precocious and withdrawn, and it has not been a day or two that she has been out of tune with her classmates. It’s okay now, but it won’t always be like this in the future.
“If you talk to them well, there will always be people who will believe you. If you don’t talk about it, they will treat you as guilty and wronged?”
“It’s useless, they won’t believe me.”
Ji Yu lowered his face, his throat was slightly choked, but he didn’t cry.
Raising his hand and rubbing his clean cheek, he suddenly said in a calm tone.
“Sister, won’t you come to see me in the future?” His eyes were as clear as water, showing an almost stubborn look.
“…”
Zuo Nanjin was silent.
Ji Yu’s eyes were red, she kept holding back until she finally couldn’t hold back her tears.
He lowered his face deeply as if embarrassed.
“I heard Teacher Zhang say… what he said…”
She bit her lip and cried silently, tears falling down her cheeks in large drops, smashing on the concrete floor.
There was an uncontrollable low whimper in his throat.
This is the most painful way to cry.
“…”
Zuo Nanjin couldn’t help but sigh again.
After hesitating, she lifted her chin and gently wiped the tears from her face with her fingertips.
Ji Yu buried his face in her arms and did not show her how he was crying.
He sniffed quickly and stopped sobbing.
Her eyes moved slightly, and she made up her mind at this moment, and asked her with a straight eye, “Then are you willing to come with me?”
“Go to live in another country.”
“…”
Ji Yu was shocked and looked up at her.
There was a hesitant longing in his eyes, and he immediately restrained it. After a while, his voice was so soft as to call a mosquito, “I will be very troublesome for my sister…”
“No trouble.”
Zuo Nanjin hugged her with such a small body, she said in a gentle tone that was completely different from usual, “No trouble, it’s my sister’s honor to take care of such a cute little girl.”
A girl of Ji Yu’s age, although healthy, is not easy to be adopted in such a remote place.
The principal revealed that she would most likely be adopted by foreigners in the end.
That being the case, it would be better for Zuo Nanjin to adopt her in person.
At her age, her career is on the rise, and she has no plans to marry and have children, but she already has enough ability to support her life.
—
When Zuo Nanjin returned to the principal’s office to talk about things, he asked Ji Yu to say goodbye to his classmates.
She went back to the classroom.
Under Teacher Zhang’s suggestion, the students who had wronged her just now apologized collectively to her.
“…”
She walked to the corner of the hallway alone.
Ji Yu took the pink purse out of his coat pocket, stood on the fourth floor of the teaching building, and threw it into the shade of the tree next to the playground in a perfect parabola.
If you are lucky, you can return to the master’s hands.
If no one finds it and returns it…
Leave it alone.
Anyway, Ji Yu’s wish came true.
Greatly achieved.
