freedom of rebirth

Since the day he skipped class, Xu Jie began to pay attention to his surroundings, and walked around more outside of class, so he quickly identified the person Xu Guanhao sent to monitor him.

Perhaps Xu Guanhao never thought that he would suspect that someone was watching him. Those two people who followed him were not very covert. Of course, when Yan Ran didn't tell him, he really wouldn't suspect that Xu Guanhao's guarantee to him was just perfunctory. .

After the phone call with Yan Ran that time, and when he arrived at school again, Yan Ran still didn't talk to him, but just looked at him with worried and eager eyes.

On this day, Xu Jie received a call from Xu Guanhao in the afternoon. Because the company had an important meeting, he couldn't pick up Xu Jie after school, but the driver would be there on time.

Xu Guanhao's voice over there was full of guilt, while Xu Jie's heart moved here, and he answered casually and hung up on Xu Guanhao's words.

In the afternoon, when Xu Jie arrived outside the school, the car that picked him up stopped at the original spot. There was no sign of Xu Guanhao in the car. After watching him get into the car at the school gate, he turned and left.

"I don't want to go home now, you dragged me to a place."

"Master Jie, this... the young master said that he will take you back directly."

"Take me to Xincheng Road, and when he asks about you, he says I'm going."

Hearing Xu Jie's faint voice, the driver looked in the rearview mirror and saw Xu Jie's expressionless face. He didn't dare to say anything, turned the steering wheel and went directly to where Xu Jie said.

After the car stopped at the intersection, Xu Jie got out of the car directly, and didn't tell the driver to wait or wait.

Seeing Xu Jie walking in one direction, the driver immediately took out his mobile phone and called Xu Guanhao.

Xu Jie entered a small alley and walked straight in. When he reached the end of the alley, he turned in and there was a small door. At this time, the door was still open. At this time, the aunt who cooks in the kitchen I will come out of the small gate to buy vegetables in a nearby vegetable market.

Enter through the door, and within a few steps, you arrive at the kitchen. There are always three people in the kitchen. At this time, one person washes the rice, one person washes the dishes, and the other person is not there. The one who is not there should be shopping for vegetables.

The sound of Xu Jie's footsteps caused the two women who were working with their heads down to raise their heads. "Who are you?"

Seeing Xu Jie, both of them were surprised. Judging by Xu Jie's appearance, he must be here to do volunteer work!But how come in from the back door.

"Because the house is relatively close to the back door, so I came from here." Smiling faintly at the two, Xu Jie explained, and the two women nodded in understanding after speaking, because they come here to do volunteer work every day There were a lot of students in the school, so the two of them didn't doubt Xu Jie's words, and then they bowed their heads and started their own work, leaving Xu Jie alone.

Seeing that the two of them were no longer paying attention to him, Xu Jie continued to walk forward, and he arrived at the front yard, where a large stone was erected in the middle of the yard, with several deep scarlet words 'Angel Children's Home' engraved on it.

The orphanage will always have those names. 'Angel', 'sunshine', 'happiness', 'happy' and other beautiful words.

"Student, are you here to do volunteer work?"

Turning around, Xu Jie looked at the person in front of him in a daze, and recalled it instantly in his mind.

"Dean's mother."

Xu Jie's blurted address surprised the white-haired old man, then he rubbed his eyes and began to look at Xu Jie carefully.

"You are..." The children who are sent to the orphanage every year, and many children are adopted every year, the dean must remember that unless they cannot be adopted for a long time, they will grow up in the orphanage and come back later. It is possible to recognize.

Lowering his head, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Xu Jie's mouth. "I'm Dang Jing."

When Xu Jie was sent here, the name happened to be Dang's turn, and Xu Jie was named Dang Jing because of his bright eyes at the time. Although the name was a bit feminine, he didn't need to register at the time, and he might be adopted in the future, so It was temporarily called this name. There are too many children in the orphanage, and it is also a chore to bother to name each one.

"Dang Jing, what's your name now?" The dean still didn't seem to think of Xu Jie, but this did not affect the dean's enthusiasm and kindness to Xu Jie, especially when he heard the word Dang, the children of the Dang generation had grown up , there are not many party members in the courtyard, some are adopted and some are in school.

"Xu Jie."

"Well, yes, it sounds much better than the name Dang Jing." Laughing, the dean patted Xu Jie's back kindly. "Go to school! The oldest child in your group is only seventeen."

"Well, I'm in the third year of junior high school, and I'm about to take the senior high school entrance examination. This time I just want to come here to have a look."

With a gratified expression on his face, the dean nodded. "It's good if you're still in school. You have to work hard for the senior high school entrance examination. It's good to come back if you want to take a look, but it's getting late, so you have to go home early, otherwise the family will worry."

The dean waved his hand to Xu Jie after exhorting him, signaling Xu Jie to turn around casually, so that he would not take up Xu Jie's time.

Nodding obediently, Xu Jie left the spot after watching the dean leave.

Xu Jie didn't turn carefully in the courtyard, but went directly to the swing where he used to sit every time when he was a child.

At this time, the children had been summoned to wash their hands, wash their faces, and prepare to eat. There was no one around the swing. Xu Jie walked over and squatted down and pushed the small swing with his hands. Start digging up.

After a while, Xu Jie dug out a plastic-wrapped object from the soil. Xu Jie opened the plastic and took out a photo. There was a man in the photo, but the top corner of the photo was torn off. On the man's face, although it was glued with adhesive tape, the face was already wrinkled, and the man's appearance could not be seen clearly at all.

This photo was carried with Xu Jie when he arrived at the orphanage when he was four years old. He seemed to be sent by someone at that time. He remembered that the person handed him a photo and pointed to the person on it. 'This is your dad, remember to wait here for him to pick you up'

When he first arrived at the orphanage, he would take out the photos and look at them a few times a day, hoping that the person in the photos would come to pick him up, but there were no children in the orphanage who could hide things, and he was soon replaced by other children. I found that everyone was rushing to see his photo. Of course he didn’t want to. The last few times the photos were snatched and they were torn. At that time, he cried very sadly. If it was damaged, he wrapped the photo in plastic and buried it under the swing, thinking that when someone came to pick him up, he would take out the photo for comparison, and he must never take it out again.

When he was adopted by Xu Guanhao, he knew that he was not his father when he saw Xu Guanhao's figure, but in the end he left with Xu Guanhao. He didn't know what was going on at the time, probably because of guilt!He didn't take the photo with him, and he felt that leaving with Xu Guanhao was betraying the person in the photo.But ten years passed in a flash, and he never came back here once in his previous life, nor did he take this photo away.

This time, the reason why Xu Jie came back here to find this photo was because Yan Ran called Yan Ran that time, and when he finally hung up the phone, Yan Ran finally said, "Your biological father is looking for you."

At that time, Xu Jie was shocked. His father, his biological father was looking for him?

Xu Jie himself didn't believe it, and felt it was ridiculous. More than ten years had passed, how could his father look for him, and even if he did, how would he know that he was with Xu Guanhao!But even so, Xu Jie couldn't help but think about his father and this photo, that's why he came here to take out this photo when Xu Guanhao was not around.

Don't wonder why he avoids Xu Guanhao, because he feels that if what Yan Ran said is true, then his father finds him, and even Yan Ran, an outsider, knows about it, but he doesn't know, then there is only one possibility, Xu Guanhao doesn't want him I know, and Xu Guanhao sent someone to threaten Yan Ran, which may also be related to this.So no matter whether this matter is true or not, he can't let Xu Guanhao know that he came here to find his father's photo.

Xu Jie knew that the driver would tell Xu Guanhao where he was going, so Xu Jie was not surprised when Xu Guanhao arrived.

When Xu Guanhao rushed over, Xu Jie was standing outside the window watching a group of children eating in the dining hall.

Xu Guanhao's footsteps made Xu Jie turn his head, but he quickly looked back into the window.

"Did you stand here and watch me eat?" Xu Guanhao walked over and just stood up when Xu Jie suddenly said.

The frowning brows were slightly relaxed, and Xu Guanhao followed Xu Jie's gaze towards the dining hall. "Well, I still remember that you were sitting there at that time, and it was also a big bowl of rice, and you ate the most vigorously with a spoon."

Xu Jie looked over and saw a child who looked like six or seven years old sitting there, holding chopsticks in his right hand and a spoon in his left hand, both hands went down together, the rice and vegetables were pulled into his mouth, and his mouth was full Chewing hard after full.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and Xu Jie gave a low laugh.

Although the low-pitched laughter was short, Xu Guanhao could still hear the joy inside. He turned his head to look at Xu Jie, and after seeing the faint smile on the other party's face, he was a little stunned and fascinated for a while.

Xu Jie had been standing there watching the children inside finish their meal, while Xu Guanhao had been by his side the whole time, and he didn't ask why Xu Jie came here for a while.

After seeing those children, Xu Jie walked around the orphanage again, and when he went to the dean's office, he saw the grey-haired dean squatting on the ground playing with a few flowers.

"Dean Li." Seeing the dean, Xu Jie didn't say hello before, but Xu Guanhao rushed to greet him.
