Chapter 456: Chapter 457: How Did She Find This Place?
Bo Sishen raised his hand, gently wiping away the moisture from the corner of her eye with his thumb, his face full of affection.
Mu Shini chewed on a beef meatball and said while chewing, "Uncle, let’s bring the late-night snacks out to them! Otherwise, the noodles will get soggy!"
"Nian Nian, are you okay?" Bo Sishen, seeing her force a smile, was very worried about her and asked in a low voice.
"I’m fine, Uncle. Hurry and bring out the cooked snacks," Mu Shini said with a smile, pressing her lips together.
Mu Shini carried the tableware from the kitchen and said to the children who were playing around, "Time to eat! Everyone, set up your chairs and sit down!"
"Yay! We can have late-night snacks!"
The children, hearing that it was time to eat, eagerly moved their small stools and sat in rows at the long table.
Mu Shini, Bo Sishen, and the orphanage mother served noodles to the children, watching them eat with great enjoyment.
Bo Sishen’s gaze fell on Mu Shini. In front of the children, she looked like a little fairy. He thought it was rather ironic that someone of his stature in the military, government, and business worlds would be making late-night snacks in this place.
How lucky these children were!
"Uncle, thank you for your hard work!" Mu Shini said gratefully to Bo Sishen, handing his coat to him.
Bo Sishen, smelling of oil and smoke, took the coat Mu Shini offered, wore it, and nodded calmly with a faint "hmm".
"Clang——"
"Why did you steal my meatball!"
"I don’t have any left!"
Suddenly, two boys knocked their bowls and noodles onto the floor and started fighting.
Bo Sishen initially intended to stop them, but Mu Shini was faster.
Mu Shini separated the two fighting children, "You can’t fight and damage the harmony, got it?"
"Sister Nian Nian, but he ate my food!"
"Both of you, sit down," Mu Shini instructed the two boys.
"Okay..." the two boys responded in unison and obediently sat back down. She served them another bowl of noodles, ensuring that everyone had the same number of meatballs.
"Wow! Thank you, Sister Nian Nian!"
"Thank you, Sister Nian Nian!"
The two boys, seeing the many meatballs, stopped crying and thanked her.
"Now, how about you two shake hands and make peace?" Mu Shini gently suggested, patting the boys on their backs.
"Sure!"
The two boys shook hands and made up.
"Good! From now on, don’t snatch each other’s food. If you want something, just say it. If there’s more, you can have more. If not, be patient, okay? Friends shouldn’t fight over small things and hurt their feelings," Mu Shini said softly and sweetly.
"Sister Nian Nian, we got it!"
"Once everyone finishes eating, take out your homework and let Sister Nian Nian check if you’ve done it and if you’ve done it well," Mu Shini said, seeing that everyone had almost finished eating.
"Okay! We love it when Sister Nian Nian checks our homework the most!"
...
Bo Sishen stood at a distance, quietly watching this scene. The orphanage mother saw the complex look in Bo Sishen’s eyes as he watched Mu Shini and walked over, whispering, "Teacher Nian Nian, our Nian Nian is such a good child. She always comes here to volunteer whenever she has time, and all the kids love her."
Bo Sishen furrowed his brow slightly. Watching the girl seriously checking the children’s homework under the bright light, her focused and attentive demeanor was captivating.
"How did she find this place?" Bo Sishen wondered why she would come to the orphanage. Was it because she lacked love and came to give care to the children?
