He Yang realized that Ye Xing was like the little housekeeper of this welfare institute.
She was very familiar with every corner of it.
Moreover, the staff here seemed to like her very much.
Regardless of whether they were children or adults, she seemed to always be able to get along with them.
He Yang was amazed by this ability.
“There are two towels. One is for washing the face, and the other is for bathing. After you use it, remember to wash it and hang it up. Don’t mix it up. You’d better mark it later.”
“Although Sister Shuran will help us do these things, we can’t always be taken care of by others. We should also try our best to decrease Sister Shu Ran’s burden. After all… She’s getting older.”
“After going to the toilet, remember to flush. The toilet flush is already old, so in order to save water, it is best to put a pail in the sink. If the toilet did not flush, use the pail to pour the water in.”
“When the toothbrush and toothpaste are used up, you have to tell Sister Shuran in time, she is responsible for taking care of our daily life. Of course, you can also tell me. We are now four children in a room.”
“Are you afraid of the dark?”
Ye Xing held the pail and led the way with great effort.
At this point, she stopped in her tracks.
She turned around to look at He Yang seriously.
He Yang looked back at her, as if he thought this question was stupid.
However, in the end, he gave up and shook his head.
Ye Xing saw that he’d responded and became happy again.
“It’s good that you’re not afraid of the dark. Why don’t you share a room with us? Only Xiao Yu and I live in the same room. The lights in our room are always broken. Sister Shuran said that the wiring is old, but no one helped us change it. Xiao Yu is afraid of the dark and cries every night. No one likes to share a room with her, so she came to me.”
He Yang’s gaze fell on Ye Xing’s face again. At this moment, her whole body seemed to be glowing again.
Why did she sound like an adult when she said that?
The dormitory building of the Welfare Institute was really dilapidated.
There were also many children’s doodles on the corridor. The paintings were more abstract, and occasionally, there were a few distinguishable paintings that looked like crooked little people.
Although it was almost noon, the light in the corridor was still a little dim.
When he reached the end of the corridor, He Yang saw the room at the opposite end with the words “Storage Room” written on it.
Ye Xing, on the other hand, pushed open a door beside the storage room.
It was different from what He Yang had imagined. He had thought that the room would be filled with an old and stale smell.
However, he realized that that was not the case after he entered.
Instead, he smelled a faint fragrance, like the scent of daffodils.
On the wall of the room, there was a patch of starry sky.
The blue starry sky was dotted with stars that looked like a dream.
The room was not big, and there were four small beds neatly arranged in there.
The bed sheets and quilts had cartoon characters on them.
There was a small bedside table next to the bed.
He Yang noticed that the bedside tables next to the two small beds were already filled with things.
Furthermore, he saw a few photo frames on the table next to the wall.
There was a group photo of Ye Xing and the children from the Welfare Institute.
As expected, no matter where she was, she smiled so brightly like a fool.
“Those two beds are Xiao Yu’s and mine. You can choose the outermost one. Later, I’ll ask Sister Shuran to install a curtain here for you since you’re a boy. This way, we can be separated. There’s a small switch at the head of each bed that can turn on the bedside lamp.”
He Yang listened attentively to her nagging, which was rare.
This was because this place was where he would live in the future.
And what Ye Xing said was what he needed to know.
“I’ve left the things under the bed for you. Tidy them up yourself. I still have something to do. I need to go to the kitchen to help. By the way, can you find your way to the canteen?”
Ye Xing worriedly looked at He Yang. After all, this child did not seem to be very smart.
He did not speak much along the way. What if he could not find the canteen?
He Yang seemed to sense the worry in her eyes and was a little speechless.
He had already recognized the way to the canteen, so he could definitely find it.
