Chapter 214: Visiting Rainbow House

Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Visiting Rainbow House

They called out to each other, once from you and twice from me, followed by my three calls...

There was a back-and-forth interaction, as if Shen Siyuan was amusing Tang Tang, making her happy and swaying from side to side.

Everyone thought that Shen Siyuan was very loving.

But in fact, Shen Siyuan was communicating with Tang Tang, even though he didn’t understand the meaning.

However, he could hear the sound of the wind and feel its rhythm; it was enough to be in sync with it.

But it seemed that Tang Tang could actually understand the meaning of the wind. Isn’t she deaf though? How does she hear the sound of the wind?

Of course, Shen Siyuan is not an ordinary person and won’t fall into the mindset of ordinary people.

Perhaps this is what’s special about Tang Tang, and it also reveals certain unique traits in myself that attracted her and made her feel close to me.

His speculation was indeed very close to the truth.

However, he didn’t notice anything else particularly special about Tang Tang; she seemed no different from any other child.

"Mr. Shen, Miss Ruan, please come in. Welcome to Rainbow House..."

Ding Guilan opened the courtyard door, and Xu Liangyou warmly ushered the two inside.

Just by arriving in a Ferrari, it was evident that he was wealthy, and Xu Liangyou was naturally even more eager.

Wealthy people are those who donate money and goods. Don’t think he’s opportunistic; everything is for the children, as he’s currently concerned about funding.

Shen Siyuan, holding Tang Tang, smiled and patted Xiao Yong’s head as he entered the courtyard.

Some children in the courtyard looked at them curiously, but many more were busy with their own affairs. After all, they were used to kind-hearted people visiting them.

But it was rare to see a pair as handsome and dignified as them.

"Are you really not Tang Tang’s father?"

Xiao Yong still couldn’t believe that Shen Siyuan wasn’t Tang Tang’s father.

If he wasn’t, then why did Tang Tang like him so much?

He had been nice to Tang Tang, but she didn’t like him that much, so something had to be off...

"I actually wish I was," said Shen Siyuan with a smile.

"Then do you want to adopt Tang Tang?" Xiao Yong asked with some hope and reluctance.

Every year there are people with good conditions who come to adopt children, and the younger the child, the more popular they are with adoptive families. However, for someone like him, it’s virtually impossible to be adopted.

Shen Siyuan had not spoken yet when Ding Guilan interjected, "It’s not possible, Mr. Shen does not meet the adoption requirements."

"Why do you say that?" Shen Siyuan really wasn’t aware of this and was curious.

"How old are you this year, Mr. Shen?" asked Ding Guilan with a smile.

"Twenty-six."

"According to legal regulations, the adopter must be at least thirty years of age."

"I see."

"Are you married, Mr. Shen?" she asked, glancing at Ruan Hongzhuang beside him.

Shen Siyuan shook his head again.

"Well, in that case, it’s even less possible. For an unmarried man to adopt a female, the age difference between the adopter and the adoptee must be more than 40 years."

Well, no matter what, Shen Siyuan clearly did not meet the criteria.

Xiao Yong, hearing this on the side, felt a little disappointed, yet also somewhat relieved.

He also knew that if Tang Tang were adopted, she would certainly have a better life. But if Tang Tang left Rainbow House, he would definitely be sad. So, learning that Tang Tang wouldn’t be taken away also made him happy.

After placing the gifts Shen Siyuan brought to one side, which would later be distributed by the aunties, they began to show the two visitors around Rainbow House.

The first floor of Rainbow House is the kitchen and dining area, and it also serves as storage for some miscellaneous items.

The second floor is where the children sleep, in several rooms with large bunk beds. All the children nestled together; the conditions are such, and that’s the way it has to be.

"We originally wanted to install those dormitory-style bunk beds, but the kids are too young and there’s a certain risk, so we gave that up," Xu Liangyou explained.

Shen Siyuan reached out to touch the thin quilt on the bed, covered only with a blanket. Fortunately, the climate in Bin Hai is hot, so there’s no need for thickness; these are enough even without air conditioning in the room.

The beds were a mess, with blankets thrown all over the place, but it was actually quite clean after tidying up.

"We currently have a total of forty-five children here. Twenty-five are over ten years old, and twenty are under ten. Tang Tang is the second youngest. We also have one who just learned to walk and has an auntie to take care of them..."

The couple guided Shen Siyuan and his companions around while introducing them to the situation at Rainbow House.

When they reached one of the rooms, Ding Guilan pointed to a spot against the wall at the back.

"This is where Tang Tang sleeps."

On the light blue mattress, there were a few yellow birds and a blue blanket piled to one side.

There was also a beige little pillow which looked quite adorable.

But whether it be the mattress, blanket, or pillow, they all had been washed to a whitish hue. They weren’t torn, but had all become a bit pilled.

At this moment, Tang Tang, who had been held in Shen Siyuan’s arms all this time, struggled to come down.

So Shen Siyuan let her down accordingly, only to see Tang Tang lift her little pillow, then reach her little hand into the pillowcase to fish around, and pull out two candies, offering them to Shen Siyuan with a big, goofy grin.

"You little rascal, you’ve been hiding food?" Xu Liangyou and his wife hadn’t expected Tang Tang to have such a trick up her sleeve.

Seeing Tang Tang’s silly smile, Shen Siyuan didn’t refuse. He took the candies and found that they were White Rabbit candies; he then gave one to Ruan Hongzhuang beside him, one for each of them.

Watching as the two of them unwrapped the candies and popped them into their mouths.

Tang Tang, who had kept a chuckling grin, let out a satisfied giggle, appearing extremely happy.

Then she spread her arms out, asking Shen Siyuan for a hug again.

"Tang Tang, on your own..."

Ding Guilan wanted to stop her; it’s not good to be held all the time.

But Shen Siyuan had already bent over and picked up Tang Tang.

"It’s okay, let me hold her," he said.

Since Shen Siyuan insisted, Ding Guilan didn’t continue to object, and led the three of them to the third floor.

The third floor was their office and living quarters; in addition, it was stacked with various materials donated by kind-hearted people.

After the visit was over, Xu Liangyou invited Shen Siyuan to stay for a meal.

Shen Siyuan naturally wouldn’t refuse.

However, he wasn’t about to act like some big shot, sitting around waiting for food.

So he went out to the yard to help pick vegetables.

Seeing this, Ruan Hongzhuang naturally couldn’t just stand by and watch, so she also sat down beside him to help.

However, she had never done this before, and her moves were very clumsy.

Shen Siyuan taught her how to do it while chatting with Ding Guilan about their situation. As for Xu Liangyou, he went off to take care of his own business.

"I’m a pauper, she’s a rich girl. This time I brought her here specifically because she has money..."

Shen Siyuan’s straightforward words surprised Ding Guilan.

What surprised her the most was Ruan Hongzhuang’s indifferent attitude.

"You two really have a good relationship," Ding Guilan remarked with a sigh.

Just then, Tang Tang carried a plastic stool over, insisting on squeezing between the two.

What could they do but make room for her?

Tang Tang set down the stool, placed her hands on her knees, and sat down seriously; then, under everyone’s gaze, she grinned and chuckled...

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh out loud at her antics.
