Chapter 214: Chapter 211: The Scene in Front of the Orphanage

Chu Mengyao didn’t have to think much to know that if she blamed Ye Fan, he would surely put on a disgruntled face and declare his innocence.

Just thinking about that made her especially happy.

She looked out the window, her face beaming with a cheerful smile, deliberately not letting Ye Fan see it.

"I feel wronged! Seeing you unhappy, I wanted to try and comfort you, alright?" In the past, Ye Fan would have said this, but not anymore. Ever since he and Mengyao had a heart-to-heart and shared their secrets, he was clear about Mengyao’s thoughts and feelings.

Ye Fan gave a wry smile, then nudged Mengyao and solemnly said, "Don’t secretly laugh to yourself anymore. Look at the expression on my face; is it as terrible as you imagined?"

Chu Mengyao looked seriously at Ye Fan, then shook her head and laughed, "Not fun anymore since you can read my mind; it’s no longer fun in the future."

It was now that she understood how her thoughts couldn’t hide from Ye Fan’s eyes, just as his thoughts couldn’t hide from hers.

She had to admit she was wrong, but her heart grew even happier, and she softly said, "Although your reaction is different from what I imagined, having you understand me like the worm in my belly makes me even happier."

"Sigh!" Ye Fan sighed meaningfully, "The days when you built your happiness on my misery are gone forever. Won’t you be a bit disappointed?"

"Not only am I not disappointed, but I’m extremely pleased," Chu Mengyao nodded, confessing her feelings.

"Why don’t I try my best to put on a miserable face to satisfy your limited imagination? Would that be different from what you expect?" Ye Fan suggested.

"No need," Chu Mengyao shook her head immediately. "I know what your miserable expression looks like. I don’t want to see more of it; I’m afraid if I see it too much, it might affect the original image in my heart, and if I become immune to it, how bad would that be."

"Better to remember me fondly rather than dwell on my gloomy looks. That wouldn’t be good," Ye Fan said bitterly.

"No way," Chu Mengyao said triumphantly, then pondered for a moment, "I’ve thought it through now. Let Shen Yahut live in my heart, no need to go to the amusement park anymore."

"Don’t say that! We’re already halfway there, turning back now would be such a waste. Since we’re here, let’s have fun," Ye Fan decided firmly.

Chu Mengyao laughed lightly, "I see, it’s purely because you want to play and drag me along, right?"

"What’s the difference between me keeping you company and you keeping me company?" Ye Fan said mischievously.

"Ah, you!" Chu Mengyao said insincerely yet seriously thought about it; there really wasn’t a difference.

"What’s the difference?" Ye Fan pressed.

Chu Mengyao didn’t know how to answer, so she replied perfunctorily, "When a man accompanies a woman, he’s a tagalong; when a woman accompanies a man, she’s a tagalong. So, which of the two of us is the tagalong?"

"I am the tagalong, okay?" Ye Fan chuckled, thinking the explanation was quite novel.

"Not a bit of sincerity; it’s not heartfelt," Chu Mengyao turned her face away again.

The car stopped, and the two got out and headed straight for the amusement park.

It was already afternoon by then. The amusement park was quiet, and the kids were having dinner.

Ye Fan stretched out his hand and directly held Chu Mengyao’s hand in his palm.

"What are you doing?" Chu Mengyao blushed, did not struggle, but teasingly asked.

"Aren’t you just asking the obvious? I just want to hold your hand, don’t I?" Ye Fan held back his embarrassment and shyly said coolly.

"Who allowed you to hold my hand without my permission?" Chu Mengyao’s ears were burning red.

"It’s okay if I permit it." Ye Fan raised Mengyao’s hand, thinking, "You didn’t object, so you agreed. Actually, holding your hand feels quite nice."

"Sneakily holding my hand without asking my opinion?" Chu Mengyao suppressed her shyness and meekly said.

"What’s sneaky about it? I’m doing it openly, alright?" Ye Fan gave a disdainful look.

"Let’s go, don’t just stand there like a fool." Ye Fan tugged on the gentle hand and led her on.

"Nuisance!" Chu Mengyao chided in her heart, her cheeks blushing vividly, struggling to keep her bashfulness and flushed face in check as she lagged half a step behind Ye Fan.

After greeting the staff in the control room, the two let loose and had fun.

The staff was thrilled to have the opportunity to serve the boss.

An hour later, the two left the amusement park.

Still holding hands, all the distress in Chu Mengyao’s heart disappeared, leaving her utterly joyful.

"Riding a roller coaster, trembling with nerves, weren’t you scared and just holding it in? You thought I didn’t notice, huh." Chu Mengyao glanced at Ye Fan, rolling her eyes.

"Nonsense, I wasn’t nervous at all. You must have been seeing things," Ye Fan defended. Actually, he wasn’t the least bit nervous about the roller coaster; it was all Mengyao’s imagination. He softly said, "The scared one should be someone, shouting so loudly and gripping my hand tight, as if afraid of being thrown out."

"No way, I wasn’t scared at all," Chu Mengyao said guiltily.

At this time, the sky had just turned dark.

Driving past the orphanage, the car stopped.

At the orphanage door, a flamboyantly dressed woman placed a baby at the entrance, knocked a few times on the iron gate, and then fled in a hurry.

The woman hid in a corner, listening to the baby’s cries, her expression bleak.

Soon, the orphanage door opened, and an old lady took a look around, then picked up the child in her arms and entered the orphanage.

The flamboyant woman disappeared into the corner.

Watching this scene, Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao’s originally good moods turned sour in an instant.

"Nowadays, things have become more complicated, and some of the few people left don’t understand what being a mother means. From that woman’s dress alone, you can tell she’s young and already strayed from the path, must be not knowing who the child’s father is, or perhaps lacking the ability to raise the child, or maybe the child is sick and she’s thinking of abandoning it. She might not understand motherhood’s responsibility entirely but got confused and had a child, then found it too late to abort and so had to give birth and abandon it."

Chu Mengyao’s eyes flickered, as she thought about the various possible reasons a woman might abandon a child.

These kinds of situations happened often at the orphanage’s door.

At Yucai School, quite a number of people had been abandoned in this way.

"Does this kind of thing happen often?" asked Ye Fan.

"Almost once or twice every month," Chu Mengyao replied without hesitation, "A woman like her, at least the bit of kindness she has left is in seeing the child get adopted. Maybe, after many years, once she understands a mother’s responsibility, realizes her past mistakes, she might look for the child."

Chu Mengyao held on to this hope.

"Compared to those news stories of people casually abandoning their children or throwing them into the sewer, that woman is much better," Ye Fan thought to himself with a sigh.
