Chapter 213: Chapter 213: The Listener of the Wind

Shen Siyuan originally planned to go to Rainbow House earlier.

But when he picked up the gift for Tang Tang, he suddenly realized something.

There are so many children at Rainbow House, he couldn’t just give a gift to her alone.

Otherwise, the other children who didn’t receive gifts would surely snatch hers.

So he thought about it and decided to buy some more gifts.

But since it was early morning, the stores weren’t open yet, so he had no choice but to wait patiently.

This made Ruan Hongzhuang somewhat puzzled.

"What’s going on with you? Not going out?"

Shen Siyuan hadn’t told her where he was going, and at this point, it didn’t seem right to keep it from her any longer, so he told her everything.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang curiously asked, "Just from one encounter, and you’re so concerned? How adorable must that little girl be?"

"She is cute, but it’s more about a connection, I guess." Shen Siyuan himself felt it was a bit inexplicable.

At this moment, Ruan Hongzhuang pulled out her phone and actually found some news reports about Rainbow House.

However, they were from several years ago, mainly highlighting the deeds of Granny Zhang.

"She really is a good person."

After reading, Ruan Hongzhuang couldn’t help but express her admiration.

When a deed of charity is sustained for decades, it’s no longer just kindness, but great love. Even if one does not agree with her methods, she deserves respect.

So the two waited until nearby stores opened, and bought some snacks and toys, stuffing the trunk full.

Ruan Hongzhuang’s 812 actually had quite a capacity, but this car really isn’t suitable for ladies to drive—it’s fast, powerful, and prone to fishtails when starting.

But clearly, Ruan Hongzhuang is not an ordinary woman; she likes powerful cars and drives it like taming a wild horse.

So by the time Shen Siyuan arrived at Rainbow House, it was already past nine.

"Is it here?"

Ruan Hongzhuang parked the car and asked Shen Siyuan, who was checking the GPS.

"It should be right."

Shen Siyuan looked at the colorful rainbow on the fence and then up at the gleaming sun on the wall.

The location of Rainbow House really wasn’t remote, and in such a prime area of Bin Hai, occupying such a large area, if not for the orphanage, selling the property would have probably meant financial freedom instantly for Granny Zhang’s family.

"I’ll go knock on the door, you bring the stuff down." Shen Siyuan said and walked towards the gate.

As he approached, he saw a small figure squeeze through the door crack swiftly.

It was none other than Tang Tang, with a naive smile, stretching her small arms and stumbling towards Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan hurried forward, stooping to pick her up.

"hanhanhan..."

Tang Tang wriggled happily in Shen Siyuan’s arms like a little carp just out of water.

Ruan Hongzhuang, who was about to open the trunk, also stopped and curiously observed Tang Tang in Shen Siyuan’s arms.

At this moment, the gate opened, and a little boy ran out.

Shen Siyuan recognized him from yesterday, and was just about to greet him, but saw him staring unpleasantly at him.

Before he could speak, two elderly people appeared, and then the gate was completely opened, with a whole group of men and women curiously staring at him.

"Uh..."

Shen Siyuan was a bit nervous being watched by them all.

"Am I that popular?"

Shen Siyuan thought amusingly to himself, but still waved and greeted everyone.

"Alright, alright, go back..." Ding Guilan turned and chased everyone back.

But Xu Liangyou came forward, greeted Shen Siyuan, and tried to take Tang Tang from his arms.

However, Tang Tang clung fiercely to Shen Siyuan’s clothes, refusing to let go.

Xu Liangyou was starting to believe Xiao Yong’s words, but he still felt that Shen Siyuan was too young to look like Tang Tang’s father.

"Never mind, let me hold her for a while," Shen Siyuan said.

Just then, Ruan Hongzhuang came over carrying some things.

Xu Liangyou glanced at her car behind her, then at Ruan Hongzhuang, noticing that this young woman was not only beautiful but also had an extraordinary demeanor, clearly not someone raised in an ordinary family.

So, he began to doubt even more that Tang Tang was their child.

After all, with their means, not to mention one child like Tang Tang, they could afford many more and wouldn’t need to abandon her in an orphanage.

Shen Siyuan took Strawberry Bear from Ruan Hongzhuang’s hands and stuffed it into Tang Tang’s arms.

"This is for you."

He then asked Ruan Hongzhuang to tie a bib around Tang Tang.

The little one had just changed clothes in the morning, and her chest was already wet with drool.

Probably because she keeps going "hanhanhan," that’s why there’s drool.

"Now, you two look the same."

Shen Siyuan pointed at the similar bib on Strawberry Bear’s neck.

"hanhanhan..."

Tang Tang laughed sincerely and happily.

Meanwhile, Ruan Hongzhuang was communicating with Xu Liangyou and his wife, unloading everything from the car.

By now, the couple had figured out their identities and realized that Xiao Yong was probably just making things up, which almost had them fooled.

Whether they believed him or not, Xiao Yong was unsure, but he firmly believed his guess was correct.

Thus, he stepped forward, slightly angrily, and asked Shen Siyuan, "Are you Tang Tang’s dad?"

"Eh?" Shen Siyuan was surprised by the question.

"Of course not, but why would you think that?"

Shen Siyuan began to understand why he was looking at him with such a displeased expression.

"You don’t think I abandoned Tang Tang, do you?"

"Isn’t that the case?" Xiao Yong glared at him.

"Of course not, if Tang Tang really was my daughter, how could I possibly bear to abandon her?"

"But... but Tang Tang really likes you," Xiao Yong said.

"Is that so?" Shen Siyuan was somewhat amused.

"It’s different, Tang Tang liking you is different. She... she really likes you, she was sitting at the door waiting for you early in the morning," Xiao Yong explained.

Shen Siyuan was a bit surprised by this and turned to look at Tang Tang, who was still happily holding Strawberry Bear and asked, "Did you know I was coming today?"

Tang Tang seemed to understand Shen Siyuan’s words, pursed her lips, and made a hoo-hoo sound...

"Tang Tang can’t hear you..." Xiao Yong explained.

He thought Tang Tang was playing by making the hoo-hoo sound again.

But Shen Siyuan looked serious, glanced up at the sky, and then at the gently swaying treetops in the distance.

There was a breeze today, not noisy at all, softly brushing like a gentle hand, giving a tender touch to the land.

Ordinary people could not hear such wind, but Shen Siyuan was not ordinary; his hearing was extremely sharp, even a faint wind became noticeable when it entered his ears.

And the sound of the wind brushing by matched the frequency and rhythm of the hoo-hoo sounds Tang Tang made.

So, Shen Siyuan also followed the rhythm, making a couple of hoo-hoo sounds.

Tang Tang’s eyes lit up, extremely excited, waving her arms and legs, bouncing her little buttocks up and down, seemingly too happy for words.

"Hoo-hoo~"

"Hoo-hoo-hoo~"

"hanhanhan..."

Finally, someone understood her sounds.
