"Xiaoyun, hurry up! Sister Tangtang is here today!"
Little May was quite worried.
Sure enough, as an older brother, Huzi heard Little May's complaint and immediately stopped in his tracks. He told Xiaoqi and Mingming, "You two go quickly to greet Sister Tangtang."
Then he held May's hand with his left hand and Xiaoyun's with his right, dragging the two little laggards along as he continued to walk forward with effort.
In the distance, Zuo Mu saw several little kids excitedly running towards them. He had never received such loving treatment from kids before. The kids in the hospital only looked at him with fear and hatred.
Zuo Mu silently swallowed his saliva and secretly shrank his shiny, hand - made calfskin shoes from a certain country.
Tang Tang was overjoyed to see the kids coming towards her. She didn't even notice the reaction of the person beside her and happily rushed towards the kids.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Tang, who was originally beside Zuo Mu, was surrounded by a group of kids.
The kids were all chattering around Tang Tang.
"Sister Tangtang, you really came!"
"Yeah, yeah. We thought you weren't coming."
"Little May cried last night because she missed you." It was Mingming's voice.
"Stop talking nonsense. I didn't!" Little May stubbornly retorted.
The blue sky, white clouds, singing birds, and fragrant flowers made Tang Tang feel as if she was in heaven. Otherwise, why were there so many little angels?
Before long, the teacher in charge of taking care of the kids also came over.
Seeing that Tang Tang really came, the somewhat elderly female teacher was quite touched.
After all, the students who came here as volunteers were still kids themselves. It was really kind of them to spare time to come. As adults, they had seen too many people who broke their promises and were even cold - hearted towards kids. It was impossible for the teacher not to be touched by Tang Tang's kindness.
"Little May, sister missed you too after going back yesterday. I looked at the photos for a long time."
Tang Tang wasn't lying. Lying in bed last night, she couldn't fall asleep, so she took out her phone and looked at the photos she took with the kids during the day.
While looking at the photos, she thought about the simple happiness during the day. Before she knew it, she fell asleep.
Sure enough, being with these angelic kids was the happiest thing.
While Tang Tang was having a great time here, Zuo Mu was secretly watching from the side. It was okay for the little girls, but what was wrong with those little boys? They weren't much younger than Tang Tang. Why were they hugging her? They even hugged her around the waist! He himself had never hugged Tang Tang around the waist.
Zuo Mu decided that he couldn't just stay in the background like this. He straightened his cuffs that sparkled in the sun and clearly looked extremely expensive, then walked over with his head held high.
However, the kids were all immersed in their own happiness and didn't notice the person coming from behind.
Tang Tang was busy chatting with the kids and had completely forgotten about him!
Zuo Mu felt a bit jealous. He pretended to cough twice.
Tang Tang was indulged in her own world and didn't respond.
It was the smart Little May who noticed this good - looking big brother.
How should one put it? Little May had seen quite a few boys. Not counting the ones in the same orphanage, there were also many big brothers who came as volunteers. But a brother as delicate and good - looking as this one was really rare. Especially his eyes, which seemed to have stars in them.
So, the appearance - conscious Little May squeezed out of the crowd of kids again with great effort, then hopped slowly in front of Zuo Mu. She raised her chubby face and asked, "Big brother, are you with Sister Tangtang?"
Zuo Mu was momentarily speechless.
Tang Tang, who was carried away by the moment, heard Little May's words. She quickly squeezed out of the group of kids and walked over to Zuo Mu. With a flattering smile on her face, she said, "Brother."
Almost at the same time, Zuo Mu put away his dissatisfaction and still looked at Tang Tang with a smile.
Little May had big eyes, fair skin, and a cute crescent - like smile when she laughed. She asked, "Are you Sister Tangtang's brother, just like Brother Huzi?"
"Cough, cough," Tang Tang secretly glanced at Zuo Mu's face and found that he wasn't angry. Then she seriously explained to Little May, "It's different. Brother Zuo Mu is just an acquaintance, not my real brother."
"I see. Then is Brother Zuo Mu your boyfriend?" Kids were really bold.
Tang Tang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Kids said whatever came to their minds.
"No, he isn't." She waved her hands repeatedly.
She didn't notice that Zuo Mu beside her had a gloomy face again.
"Not yet." Zuo Mu interjected.
These four words hit Tang Tang hard in the heart.
She stared blankly at Zuo Mu, who was seriously explaining.
"What does Zuo Mu mean by this?" she asked herself.
However, if Tang Tang could figure it out, it wouldn't be Zuo Mu.
True to his character, Zuo Mu dropped a bombshell and then calmly walked away.
Tang Tang gritted her teeth looking at his back.
"Sister, sister." Huzi also came over to join in the fun. He had heard the conversation just now. Huzi also naively looked at Tang Tang and asked, "Did the big brother just mean that you'll be his girlfriend in the future?"
Tang Tang's face instantly turned as red as a monkey's bottom. She waved her hands and denied, "Don't talk nonsense. It's baseless."
Although Huzi was young, he had experienced a lot. After watching so many love stories on TV, he actually understood a thing or two. Even in their orphanage, there were several boys who wanted to be Little May's boyfriend.
Of course, he had beaten them all away.
Zuo Mu walked briskly and with his head held high towards the teacher.
The female teacher looked about fifty years old. She wore glasses, her hair was neatly combed, and her clothes were clean and tidy. Most importantly, she had a kind and gentle face. Zuo Mu still believed in the saying that one's appearance reflects one's heart.
He greeted the teacher, "Hello. My name is Zuo Mu. May I ask your surname?"
"Oh," the teacher was also looking at Zuo Mu. Looking at his expensive watch and his delicate shirt and shoes, she didn't dare to be disrespectful. She replied, "Sir, don't be so polite. My surname is Wang. Just call me Teacher Wang."
"Teacher Wang." Zuo Mu smiled slightly.
"May I ask what brings you here today, Mr. Zuo?" Teacher Wang was a bit confused. Judging from his attire, he didn't seem like someone coming to do volunteer work.
"Oh, don't misunderstand. I'm Tang Tang's temporary guardian. Tang Tang told me what happened here yesterday after she went back, so I came to have a look today." Zuo Mu's smile remained the same, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
This person was not simple, the teacher concluded. But she still replied, "Yesterday?"
Teacher Wang tried hard to think and then shook her head. Her expression seemed a bit confused. "Nothing happened yesterday!"
If she wasn't aware of the seriousness of the matter, then this teacher was quite suspicious.
Zuo Mu thought of these two possibilities due to his long - term sensitive intuition.
But he still said, "It's about the matter of the kids finding the note yesterday."
