If The Moon Can Be Counted As A Star - Chapter 32
Xiao Mei Zhi whispered the sign that was set on the right side in the Antique white wall as the gate plate , “Bright Sides Orphanage.”
While Doctor Frei drove his car towards the Parking lot, she glanced irrelevantly from the side window. She get a glimpse of fragile kids playing on an accessible space.
The car stop yet Xiao Mei Zhi was not paying attention to it. Doctor Gmeis smiled as it looks at Doctor Frei who was nodding together with Muckbuckle. Xiao Mei Zhi may hate them for now. Nonetheless, they hope that soon Xiao Mei Zhi will live happily.
With a three out of the blue fast knock coming from Doctor Freis side window, Xiao Mei Zhi barely leaped her body in fright. She turned around only to find herself overlooking at Muckbuckles face,
“Aah!” She screamed, while the people in the car directly covered their ears. For the love of their hearing senses. It must be protected.
Muckbuckle hurriedly get out from the car while Xiao Mei Zhi was still crying out half way before she finish.
Additional beat from Doctor Freis side window made him lowered the front door glass to see and talk to the person.
“She must be an ancient alarm in the past,” A man cracked up with a look-like he was to be nearly in a particular age, pushing forties. Xiao Mei Zhi examined him while taking notice. His style was sharp and age appropriate. Light blue, short sleeve shirt, loose clothes, paired with denim jeans. It achieves as someone knowledgeable but effortless, with a layered, smart casual outfit above, a casual game of a Chinese dad dressing up was on the point.
“Hello Doctor Silver Frei! I am glad to see you here,” The man reached out a hand to Doctor Frei.
“I am glad to be here too Mister Pan.” He accepted it and they shake hands.
“You do not have to be polite, Pan Shirong would be enough. We have known each other for a long time now.” Pan Shirong give a quick gaze at Xiao Mei Zhi while he toned down his voice, “Tell me, what is her issue?”
Xiao Mei Zhi could still hear them talking even if they did use a low tone kind of conversation. At the same time she just completed looking at the old man. Then Doctor Gmeis answered a question that was not even for her, “Oh, no. . no , she is not an orphan, we are her family.”
Doctor Gmeis then added up her words with a suggestion to Doctor Frei, “How about we go out now from the car? So you two can handily talk over it.”
“Sure, sure!” Doctor Frei turned off the car’s engine and he stepped out from his car. Xiao Mei Zhi did not follow, she was left behind inside.
“Tiny cactus, are you not planning to join us here? There will be no point if you stay there.” She then looked back at the children happily playing with their playmates.
‘Mother, I am here watching a view that you wanted. I listed it down on my to-do list.’ Well, after that shock from Muckbuckles face, she calmed down to realize what she was missing. Love and the to-do-list. She promise to accomplish it. . She already listed the things that they wanted to do and that was before Misses Zhis death.
Why did she even forgot about it? Does she need that to stand up on her feet then?
Possibly, yes. But there was something wrong with herself that keeps on dragging back negativity.
Xiao Mei Zhi left from the car and followed the others with Doctor Gmeis walking beside her.
“Xiao Mei, you can go explore and play with the children. If you like?” Doctor Frei suddenly asked her, with no words she just nodded. And that was her first time agreeing to him without any problem.
Doctor Gmeis smiled at her, “I will go with you.”
Xiao Mei Zhi then took to a different path which was heading towards the playful children. Leaving Doctor Frei and Mister Shirong aside.
“I seem to be surprise , Silver Frei.” Pan Shirong placed a hand up over its head to cover himself from the afternoons heat.
“Why?”
“You do not like taking a human being in your residence , not even a human child to be precise. So what changed you?”
Doctor Silver Frei looked at Xiao Mei Zhi with a smile from her back.
“The change? My wife died , and I have a daughter to live on.” Pan Shirong did not know that Doctor Frei has a family however, he further does not want to intervene with it. At least he knows that both of them are werewolves.
“Now, how about you tell me what changed you? Since when did collaborated with the Orphanage? I also thought you do not like seeing happiness in the childrens face.”
“Me and my wife signed an agreement. Our foster son will appear here soon if he acknowledged us.”
Then the laughter from the children that were playing covers up Doctor Frei and Mister Shirongs conversation so both of them decided to go inside the Orphanage building.
In the meantime. .
“Tiny cactus,” Doctor Gmeis and Xiao Mei Zhi kept an eye on the children, “They are vigorous.” They are sitting down on a stiff, broad seat.
“Tell me about it,” Muckbuckle inserted in between the small space that Doctor Gmeis and Xiao Mei Zhi had with each other. Just to sit down.
However, in the midst of the children laughter, there was one child that did not participate in playing. “Doctor Gmeis, I can do what I want here, right?” She asked while her view was focused on that lonesome junior.
“Yes, we brought you here. You are our special guest.” She has this regulation that she must not implore or disturb other peoples privacy but the kid got her to do it. Why was she interested? Cause one thing was for sure, she saw herself through that girl.
“Then I have to go talk to someone.. Do you know who she is?” She pointed out the girl and asked Doctor Gmeis before standing up of her seat.
