Chapter 1034: Chapter 1034: Side Story - Live Streaming World 3

Such a boring fairy tale...

Bai Youwei closed her eyes, thinking as much.

She turned over, trying to find some sleepiness, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the stars filling the sky outside the window.

The stars were dazzling, but she felt no interest in admiring them, just an uncomfortable sensation of being watched that lingered at the heart.

Whoosh—

Ning Yao drew the curtains, and the room’s light instantly dimmed.

Ning Yao clapped her hands and said to the few little ones on the bed, "Okay, okay~ The story is over, go to your own beds and don’t disturb Brother Zichu’s rest."

The three children all obediently replied "oh" and crawled back to their own beds.

Bai Youwei closed her eyes as well.

...

She didn’t sleep well at all.

The bed was too hard, the blankets too thin, there were no pajamas to change into, so she had to sleep in her clothes, and without having taken a bath, the discomfort of it all, Bai Youwei woke up almost as soon as it was light.

She sat up, glanced at the other beds, the three children were still sound asleep, and Yi Zichu and Ning Yao were nowhere to be seen; their blankets were neatly folded at the head of their beds, evidently they had already gotten up.

Bai Youwei got out of bed and put on her shoes, saw the rabbit lying on the bed head, thought for a moment, picked up the rabbit and said softly, "There are eyes everywhere here, you better act like a normal rabbit until I figure out the situation, understand?"

Afraid that it was so asleep it didn’t hear her, she pinched its belly with force.

The stuffed rabbit: "..."

Bai Youwei sighed, her gaze carrying a touch of disdain as she scanned the room, "Really, there isn’t even a place to charge."

She stretched out the creased hem of her dress, picked up the rabbit, and left sullenly.

...

The entire orphanage’s layout was U-shaped, enclosed on three sides.

In the middle was the activity playground, with the teaching building and living building on two sides, and the remaining side was staff housing and a public dining hall.

On the side of the building where they slept, designated for the children’s living quarters, Bai Youwei didn’t go upstairs, as just the first floor alone had four large rooms, respectively named the Sun Room, Moon Room, Star Room, and Cloud Room.

The names sounded quite child-like, and the setup was also child-like, with warm cartoon illustrations on the walls and paper cranes and pentagonal stars hanging in front of the windows, but everything was too old and covered in a layer of gray dust.

Broken windows whooshed in wind, the ceiling stained with water leakage marks, and even the doors would flake off chunks of paint as soon as they were gently picked.

The environment here was truly bad.

Fortunately, today’s weather was good, the sky clear and blue, and the sunlight warmly illuminated everything, preventing Bai Youwei’s gloomy mood from plunging to rock bottom.

She found something resembling a "greenhouse vegetable" structure made of plastic sheets and bamboo rods in a corner of the playground.

Of course, it wasn’t the type of professional greenhouse sold on the market, but a rough but functional handmade version, the only problem being that Bai Youwei couldn’t recognize the vegetables inside.

She thought these kids were quite impressive, at such a young age, to be able to sustain themselves with vegetables grown in this tiny, inconspicuous space.

Where were they now? What were their names? Hmm, it seemed they were Yi Zichu... Ning Yao...

Bai Youwei still had many questions she wanted to ask them, so she continued to look for people in the orphanage.

She walked from the playground to the opposite teaching building and found study rooms, activity rooms, reading rooms... Of course, all these places were abandoned.

She wandered over to the dining hall and finally heard voices.

Ning Yao’s voice sounded strained, as if suppressing anger, showing her impatience:

"No matter what... you must send Jiujiu away today! We don’t have much food left..."

Bai Youwei’s steps halted, and she was slightly taken aback.

What’s going on? Were they so poor that they had to throw out a child?
