After the flash marriage, the abstinent president embraces his wife and pampers her every day
Chapter 16: Volunteer at an Orphanage
Xue Shao smiled happily when he saw Lin Qian, as if the whole night was brighter because of her arrival: "Lin Qian, you and I will be in the group activity tonight."
Lin Qian nodded, with a little nervousness in her heart, and followed Xue Shao towards the children. The surrounding lights shone on them, the children's laughter filled the air, and the whole orphanage was filled with a warm atmosphere.
Lin Qian and Xue Shao’s task was to help prepare dinner.
The orphanage kitchen was filled with a busy atmosphere. The children were playing outside, while the volunteers were busy washing, cutting and cooking vegetables inside. Lin Qian stood in front of the stove, stirring a pot of steaming soup with concentration, her face flushed slightly. She felt a trace of sweat sliding across her forehead.
Xue Shao stood beside her silently, his eyes full of concern. He quietly walked behind Lin Qian, took out a bottle of water from the refrigerator, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to her: "Lin Qian, drink some water, don't get tired."
Lin Qian looked up and saw Xue Shao, and took the water bottle gratefully: "Thank you, Xue Shao." She took a sip of water and felt the coolness spreading in her throat, relieving some of her fatigue.
Xue Shao smiled and nodded, then picked up a clean rag and gently wiped the stove next to Lin Qian. His movements were gentle and meticulous, as if he didn't want to miss any corner. He glanced at Lin Qian from time to time, his eyes revealing endless tenderness.
Lin Qian felt Xue Shao's gaze and felt a little uneasy. She lowered her head to focus on the work in her hands, but her mind was disrupted by Xue Shao's attentiveness. Whenever she needed something, Xue Shao would always hand it to her at the first time. This meticulous care made her feel warm, but also made her heart more confused.
She looked up and met Xue Shao's deep eyes, which seemed to be able to see through every corner of her heart. She looked away in panic, trying to calm herself down and stop thinking about it.
"Lin Qian, here are some chopped green onions. They will make the soup more fragrant if you put them in the soup." Xue Shao said softly.
Lin Qian smiled and took the chopped green onion: "Thank you, Xue Shao, you are so thoughtful."
The light in Xue Shao's eyes became brighter: "You're welcome. I just want to take my work seriously."
As the dinner preparations were gradually completed, Lin Qian walked out of the kitchen and informed everyone that it was time to eat.
Volunteers went into the kitchen and helped to serve the dishes on the table.
Xue Shao saw Lin Qian carrying a large plate, so he walked over and said, "This is a bit heavy, let me do it."
Lin Qian wanted to refuse, but she saw Xue Shao had already reached out and took the plate from her. She could only smile and say, "Thank you, Xue Shao."
Xue Shao smiled slightly, took the plate from her hand and walked out.
They walked to the dining room together. The children were already waiting for dinner. Xue Shao carefully placed the plates on the table and then went back to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Lin Qian felt his meticulous care and could not help but feel a complex emotion in her heart.
After all the dishes were served one after another, everyone started to eat.
When they finally sat down to eat, Lin Qian lowered her head and ate, but her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She felt a little embarrassed and uneasy, and kept thinking about how to express her gratitude to Xue Shao, but at the same time she didn't want him to misunderstand her meaning.
"Lin Qian, you've worked hard. Eat more." Xue Shao picked up a piece of vegetable and put it in her bowl with a gentle smile.
Lin Qian looked up at him with a smile on her face: "Thank you, Xue Shao. You've worked hard today too."
Their eyes met briefly in the air, and Xue Shao's eyes revealed an unconcealable deep affection, as if telling of his inner tenderness. The eyes were so ardent that Lin Qian felt a little overwhelmed, and she lowered her head involuntarily, avoiding his gaze. She knew that Xue Shao's attentiveness and concern for her were not just help between friends, but that every move he made was full of deep affection.
Lin Qian was filled with mixed emotions. No one knew about her flash marriage with Lu Jingshen. She had never been in love before, so everyone mistakenly thought she was still single. She was very hesitant about whether to make the fact that she was married public, so that no one like Xue Shao would waste their time and feelings on her.
After dinner, Xue Shao took the initiative to clean up the dishes. He picked up the rag and carefully wiped every stain on the table. When Lin Qian wanted to help, Xue Shao gently held her hand and said, "You've worked hard enough. Leave these to me."
Lin Qian was slightly stunned. Feeling the warmth of his palm, the uneasiness in her heart surged up again. She whispered, "Xue Shao, thank you so much."
Xue Shao's eyes were gentle but firm: "You're welcome. I'm very happy to do these things with you."
The after-dinner entertainment was playing games with the children. Xue Shao was particularly active. He played hide-and-seek with the children, making them laugh from time to time. When Lin Qian was doing a puzzle with a little girl, Xue Shao squatted down, looked at the puzzle carefully, and whispered to Lin Qian: "This puzzle seems to be missing a piece. I'll help you find it."
After a while, Xue Shao found the missing piece of the puzzle and handed it to Lin Qian excitedly: "Found it, it's in the corner." His smile was bright and sunny, as if all problems could be solved in front of him.
It was time to tell stories. Lin Qian sat among the children and gently told them a touching fairy tale. Xue Shao stood aside, looking at Lin Qian intently, as if every word she said was the most beautiful sound in the world. When the children asked questions about the story, Xue Shao would join in and answer the children's questions together with Lin Qian, making the whole atmosphere more warm and harmonious.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the event was coming to an end and the children said goodbye to the volunteers reluctantly.
Lin Qianzhan took out her cell phone and sent a message to Lu Jingshen: [The event has ended. ]
A few seconds later, Lu Jingshen replied: [Okay, I'll arrange for a driver to pick you up right away.]
Lin Qian's fingertips trembled slightly, and she quickly replied: [Okay.]
As soon as she put away her phone, Xue Shao came over. He seemed to notice the change in her expression and asked with concern, "Lin Qian, are you okay? You seemed a little distracted just now."
Lin Qian forced a smile: "It's okay, just a little tired."
Xue Shao nodded and said gently: "You have been busy all day today. You must have worked hard. How about I take you back so that I can take care of you on the way."
Lin Qian hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Xue Shao, you don't have to send me off. My boyfriend will come to pick me up, he will be here soon."
Xue Shao was obviously stunned for a moment, and disappointment flashed across his eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mood and smiled: "Oh, I see, that's the case. Then be careful on the road."
The night breeze blew gently, and the street lights outside the orphanage gradually went out. Xue Shao looked at Lin Qian's thin figure under the street lights, and mixed emotions surged in his heart. He knew that she already had her own happiness, but he still hoped that one day in the future, he could find the key to open her heart.
Lin Qian nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern. Today's event is very enjoyable."
Xue Shao forced a smile and said, "Yes, I am very happy to be a volunteer with you guys. I hope we can have the opportunity to participate in activities together in the future."
Lin Qian smiled and responded: "Of course there will be."
Xue Shao warned: "Then you should pay attention to your safety. I'm leaving first."
Lin Qian smiled and waved goodbye: "Goodbye!"
