After rebirth, my new love and I made it real

【immediately. 】

After Xia Shu typed these two words and sent them out, she looked up and saw Gu Yichen looking at her.

A trace of guilt flashed across Xia Shu's eyes, and she hid her phone behind her back. "My agent sent me a message, asking me to meet the advertiser immediately."

Gu Yichen stood up after hearing this and said, "I'll take you down."

The two left the office and entered the elevator together.

Xia Shu's palms began to sweat as she anticipated what was going to happen next.

How she wished that Gu Yichen would stop hesitating and just marry her, so that she wouldn't have to do this, right?

Xia Shu held onto the last bit of hope, and she put her hand on Gu Yichen's wrist, looking at him pleadingly, "Achen, will you marry me?"

Gu Yichen looked into her eyes and his throat moved slightly.

He pushed Xia Shu's hand away and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Xia Shu reluctantly retracted her hand, curled her five fingers together, and the last bit of warmth in her eyes was covered by resentment.

The elevator goes down to the underground first floor.

Gu Yichen left the elevator first.

The basement was a bit cold. He glanced at Xia Shu who was wearing a skirt, took off his coat and put it on her shoulders.

"Where's your car?" he asked.

Xia Shu pointed to a place not far away.

Gu Yichen saw it, took Xia Shu's hand, and walked towards there.

There was a man standing next to the car.

The man had slumped shoulders, his hair was matte and unkempt like dead grass, and he was wearing a tattered coat, looking strangely dressed.

Gu Yichen stopped unconsciously.

The man walked to the trash can, rummaged inside for a while, picked up a mineral water bottle, flattened it and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

Gu Yichen frowned in disgust and glanced at Xia Shu behind him, "It's okay, he's just a garbage collector."

The two walked over.

Gu Yichen opened the car door for Xia Shu, looked at her and said, "Get in the car, and remember to call me when you get there."

Xia Shu's plain face was covered with a hint of sadness. She held his hand reluctantly, "Achen..."

Gu Yichen's eyebrows moved, and he put his arm around her and pulled her into his arms, rubbing her head, "I'll visit you in the evening."

He stared at Xia Shu's eyes closely, not noticing the shadow approaching from behind.

Suddenly, Xia Shu's pupils shrank.

"Ah Chen!"

Gu Yichen's expression changed drastically when he saw Xia Shu in his arms. Before he could react, she pushed him away.

There was a "swish" sound in my ears, like the sound of a knife stabbing into flesh.

He looked in astonishment at the scavenger who had appeared at some point, and... Xia Shu who had been stabbed deeply in the abdomen by the knife.

"Damn it... Damn it, I'll kill you..." The scavenger looked at the knife in his hand and muttered to himself in a delirious state.

Gu Yichen only felt that the blood was flowing backwards for a moment.

It's hard to tell whether I'm angry or shocked.

"Shu Shu!" he shouted.

The sound seemed to startle the scavenger. He trembled a little, then panicked, pulled out the knife with force, turned around and ran away.

The blood from the blade splashed on Gu Yichen's leather shoes.

"A Chen..."

Xia Shu lost all her strength and fell heavily to the side.

Everything seemed to happen in just a moment.

Gu Yichen watched Xia Shu fall softly and helplessly into his arms, blood gushing out of the wound on her abdomen, instantly staining his hands red.

"Shushu, don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital!"

He hurriedly carried Xia Shu into the car and drove quickly towards the hospital.

-

Lu Siheng slowly parked the car on the side of the road.

After opening the car door and getting out, he went around to the trunk and pulled out two large shopping bags.

There is everything in the shopping bag: toys, snacks, stationery, clothes.

They are all for the younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage.

This is Pingcheng, a two-hour drive from the capital. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, but it has not been well developed in the past decade or so.

However, the situation has improved in recent years. For some reason, a large number of commercial entities began to move in, and the government also increased its support, and the area gradually became prosperous.

The exterior walls of the welfare home are newly painted. Not only that, the buildings inside are also very new, and it is obvious that they were rebuilt in the past two years.

The welfare home was unprecedentedly lively on Saturday because the children did not have to go to class and all gathered inside.

Lu Siheng was 16 years old when he left here, and now 7 years have passed.

After his business took off in Country M, he allocated funds for renovation several times, turning the originally dilapidated place into the clean and bright one it is today.

Now the children here no longer have to worry about food and drink. He has taken over all the charity work here and connected with several hospitals to solve the children's medical problems.

As soon as Lu Siheng entered, he was surrounded by a large group of children.

"Brother Si Heng!"

The children rushed to him, and some even told their friends inside: "Brother Si Heng is here!"

Eager, excited, and filled with joy.

Lu Siheng put the things he brought on the table and looked at them with a doting look.

A few children who were particularly familiar with him grabbed his hands and chattered non-stop. Some said that they had made progress in their studies, some said that they had learned to play the piano, and some asked him if he had a girlfriend and whether he needed them to introduce him to one.

Lu Siheng can understand the first part, but the latter part...

These kids are so precocious.

You are only five or six years old, and you know what a girlfriend is?

"What's going on in your little head every day? Children, don't fall in love too early, you know?"

The most mischievous little boy smiled and said, "Brother Si Heng, we are not in a premature relationship. We are just worried about you. You are not young anymore, and it is time for you to get married."

Lu Siheng: “…”

Does he look like he needs to worry?

"Don't worry too much, kids," he said.

"Brother Si Heng, there are a lot of beautiful girls coming over here recently. What type do you like? Can I introduce them to you?"

Lu Siheng laughed, "Brother, I don't need you to introduce me."

The little boy tilted his head, "Why?"

"Because my brother has a girlfriend."

The boy's eyes lit up when he heard that, but the next second, he frowned again, "Liar!"

Lu Siheng: “…”

Another little girl also said in a baby voice: "The dean told us that my brother doesn't have a girlfriend. No one wants him."

The other kids chimed in: "That's right."

Si Lu Si Heng wiped his sweat in embarrassment.

It turns out he is so bad.

The little boy grabbed his clothes, shook his head and said, "Brother Si Heng, I'm telling you the truth. For someone like you, don't even think about waiting for a burglary to lead to love. You have to take the initiative, okay?"

Lu Siheng pretended not to understand and asked, "Why do you take the initiative to attack?"

The little boy smiled evilly, and then whispered in Lu Siheng's ear: "I'll teach you..."

"..."

"Children's...orphanage?"

In the third-floor building, Lin Qingran stood at the window, looking at the words on the door of the building opposite from afar, "Is there a welfare home opposite this film and television city?"

"Yeah." Xu Xinzhu nodded. "I heard from the residents here that the history of the children's welfare home is older than this film and television city. It houses many children and is very lively every day."

Lin Qingran looked at the slightly blurry large characters, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

Until I could see clearly the two words in front of the Children's Welfare Home.

I read them together.

"Pingcheng Children's Welfare Home?"

Oh my god.

Isn’t this the same name as the orphanage where Lu Siheng grew up?

Could it be that Lu Siheng grew up here?
