Chapter 240 Oasis in the Desert

"No more contact... why... there should be many friends here..."

Facing the abrupt words of Dean Yanagida, after a long silence, Mochizuki Ayano finally couldn't help but ask.

"It's not their fault..."

Liu Tian shook his head helplessly.

"Perhaps, in the hearts of many children, the place where they were raised represents the unfortunate experience, the scars of not being accepted by the society, and the pain points of being poked by others. It is the eternal desert of their hearts."

The orphans, whose material life can be basically guaranteed, grew up in the circle of orphanages isolated from the outside world, and were immersed in low self-esteem, confusion and cowardice since childhood.

Since they had to leave the orphanage at the age of 18 and support themselves, they did not receive orthodox clothing education, but a cramming model that prioritized learning social common sense and survival skills.

Once they enter the society, many cognitive and spiritual "deformities" will be exposed.

Because of his special life experience, he suffered from various speculations and even discrimination from friends, colleagues, lovers, and bosses, so he gave up on himself.

"What children growing up in this barren soil lack most is a sense of social identity and hope for the future... This is what makes us educators despair because we can't give."

With a sigh, Yanagida smiled and looked down at the playground below.

"Though those three guys have bad behavior, they have insisted on sending money back regularly, no matter how much they left the orphanage."

"...Even that kid Araki, who worked several jobs at the same time for college, once had one thousand yen left at the end of the month and was too embarrassed to say that he would transfer money..."

Looking at the playground below, the normally well-behaved and depressed children received their favorite gifts, rarely showing joy and excitement, and a layer of water mist appeared on his heavy lenses.

"That's it, I apologize for my blunder just now..."

Knowing the reason for this, Mochizuki Ayano sincerely expressed her apology.

Perhaps because of the fact that my eyes can see a lot of truth, or because of the professional environment, I don't know when I have developed the bad habit of rushing to judge strange things.

"No, I was the one who was serious just now. Because the material is not lacking, and the three guys are not yet married, at first we let them not have to send money and buy things often. But then we gradually discovered , the three guys who walked out of this place turned out to be heroes in the hearts of the children..."

Reaching out to the bright smiling faces on the playground, Dean Yanagida showed a proud smile on his face: "The warmth of the family, the hope for the future, the recognition from the outside world... The things we can't give our children are up to the three of them. It is truly passed on from the body. Moreover, I believe that just like an oasis in the desert will expand itself, the children who are affected by them will also continue to pass on this warmth.”

Listening to Dean Yanagida's words, Mochizuki Ayano stared blankly at the lively crowd on the playground, if she understood something.

At the same time, Yuma Yumiya, who was helping out gifts downstairs, happened to look up and looked at Mochizuki Lingnai, who was on the third floor with only half of his head exposed.

"Ayano-chan!"

Seeing the pair of golden ponytails and blue-black pupils behind the guardrail on the third floor, an unexpected smile appeared on the witch's face, and she waved her hand at the other party.

Mochizuki Lingnai also waved at her.

"What are you talking about, it's quite fun."

Behind him, Siena, who had finished worshipping, happened to walk out of the room.

…

Three hours later, at the gate of the orphanage.

"Thank you very much for your kindness and generosity. Not only did you sponsored so many materials, but also helped organize the afternoon... You guys, come and thank you!"

Dean Yanagida sincerely bowed his thanks to Xiaotiaoyu and his daughter, Mochizuki Rino, and Siena.

Behind him, Sosuke Araki, three people, and more than 20 children also bowed obediently.

In addition to some items that the welfare home urgently needs to replace, the materials brought by Xiaoniaoyou and their daughter also carefully prepared corresponding gifts for each one according to the children's list and gender.

Mochizuki Lingnai and Siena not only stayed to help with the sorting, but also contacted international charitable organizations familiar with the Holy See to regularly provide assistance to the Little Daisy Welfare Institute.

"The Lord said, love your neighbor as yourself... If you say that this orphanage is what Yueying-Jun has been worrying about for most of his life, this little thing is the only thing I can do for him."

After spending an afternoon together, the children were no longer afraid of the "black giant", and they fought with him, which allowed Siena to be "healed", cheered up from the passing of the deceased, and restored the iconic smile.

"Hey, since Uncle Yanagida said so, let's arrange dinner on our behalf as a token of thanks!"

Yukihira Higashino enthusiastically suggested.

There is only one aunt who cooks in the Little Daisy Welfare Institute, so they are already too busy to prepare the children's dinner. On weekdays, they try not to choose the meal time, not to mention that there are seven adults here. .

"Okay, then leave it to the three of you, don't do anything rude again..."

Dean Liutian nodded and warned worriedly.

"If I eat, I will avoid it. The truck has to be returned to others on time, and there can't be no one at the shrine all the time..."

Yutaro Kotori declined with an apologetic expression.

"Then, Mr. Araki, let's go first..."

The little bird Yumayumi on the side heard the words, and then bowed his head to Sousuke Araki in disappointment.

"...So Araki-kun, I'll trouble you to help me bring Magumi back."

Yutaro Kotori's next words made her look surprised.

"Hey, wait...Is it okay for my father to go back alone?"

"No problem, everything is empty, just drive the car back... Besides, it's hard for you to make a trip to Yokohama. Of course, you can't miss the young people's party."

Yutaro the bird secretly gave Sousuke Araki a thumbs up from his cuff, and smiled brightly.

"Well, it's a disappointment that Uncle Birdie can't participate, leave it to me here!"

Although he couldn't understand the other party's stern gesture, Sousuke Araki responded with the same bright smile.

"Well, would a father really give his daughter to such three criminal-looking three people with peace of mind... No, I must stay and protect Mayu-chan!"

Having said that, Mochizuki Lingnai hangs Yumayumi's arm.

"Hey, what are you talking about, there is also a Justice Class 9 Sexual Crime Investigation Department agent here, how can he tolerate any crime happening right under his nose!"

Ryoma in the rear heard the words and protested dissatisfiedly.

"I heard that there is a new guy in the Sexual Crime Investigation Department. He often uses the name of his job to enter and exit those low-level places with integrity, and he has the cheek to ask for an invoice to come back to reimburse the task expenses..."

Mochizuki Lingnai did not take his tricks, and revealed certain facts ruthlessly with a gloomy face.

"How do you know... No, police officer Mochizuki, your words will make the brothers who are lurking in the red light district day and night, overdrafting their bodies and working hard to investigate the case, feel chills."

"that…"

Siena, who was completely speechless, looked embarrassedly at Higashino Yukihira who was quietly "smiling": "Am I the only one concerned about what to eat for dinner here?"
