Chapter Thirty-Two: Entrusted by Ghosts

After Secretary Wang heard what I said, he sighed and his face suddenly changed.

She handed the two cups of brewed coffee to Zhang Yi and me, and we had no choice but to take them and thank them profusely.

She turned around again to get her cup, then sat down and said:

"Dean Zhou is such a good person..."

As she spoke, her eyes shone with crystal tears, and she tried hard to control her emotions.

Zhang Yi and I were caught off guard by her sadness, and we didn't know how to comfort her.

He could only remain silent and watch her cry alone.

She shed tears silently for a while, then suddenly realized that there was an outsider here. It seemed a bit rude, so she hurriedly took off her glasses and used a tissue to test her tears.

"Ah...I'm sorry, I..."

"It doesn't matter. It's true that the news came too suddenly!" Zhang Yi also tightened his eyebrows in response to this sad atmosphere.

Secretary Wang tried to cry for a while and calmed down before saying, "He didn't come to our orphanage until he was in high school!"

"Ah..." I looked at Secretary Wang with puzzled eyes.

She paused and said, "I had not worked here before when he came, and I had only worked here for a little more than five years. By that time, he was already working in the hospital.

I only know a little bit about him from what the dean sometimes said. In short, he was in high school because he was going to college, so he had to be affiliated with an orphanage, and he was transferred from an overseas orphanage."

"Oh?" I blinked and thought to myself.

In this way, Zhou Shiqi was already 17 or 18 years old when he arrived at the orphanage, and he was an adult.

Strangely enough, this old zombie is not old anyway. In fact, if he changes his hairstyle now, what is the difference between him and his seventeen or eighteen years old?

I couldn't help but smile to myself, but there was a look of regret on my face.

"Alas...he is really nice. Although he didn't have much contact with our orphanage, he basically lived there when he was in high school.

On weekends, he went back to the orphanage to help with cleaning and labor. After he was admitted to college, he basically stopped working in the orphanage.

But since he started working, he has often come back to help the director share some work and teach the children some hospital knowledge.

Moreover, he also donated a lot of money to our welfare home, and the director has always been very grateful to him, treating him as his own son!"

"oh……"

I looked at Secretary Wang's tearful look and didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.

A person who appears to be such an outstanding person still teaches medical knowledge to children and helps clean the orphanage?

This is what the old zombie does...

I immediately recalled in my mind the look of someone trying to dig out my heart that day.

Is he alone? What a contrast!

"So actually, I know very little about his past. If I want to know more about it, I might have to ask our dean."

As Secretary Wang spoke, he took a sip of coffee to ease his mood.

"Then the dean isn't here today?"

"The director has lived in the welfare home all his life, so he is there every day. But today he went to Director Zhou's hospital, probably to deal with Zhou's funeral affairs with the hospital leaders!"

"oh……"

"Then when will he come back?" I couldn't help but ask. At this time, I became very interested in this dean.

Zhang Yi gave me a warning look when he heard my question.

I didn't even respond to him with a look, I just looked at Secretary Wang, waiting for her answer.

"I don't know, but I will come back no matter how late it is."

"Is that so..." I pondered for a while and then asked: "That's right, Secretary Wang, we also want to inquire about the two children this time. We were entrusted by others and heard that they are here."

"Who!"

"I should have just arrived two days ago. My father's name is Xu Guoping."

"Oh, you are talking about those twins! They just came here two days ago. They are a pair of cute little girls. They are only seven years old. Alas, both parents are dead!"

"Then they are okay!"

"There is nothing wrong with life. It's just that I haven't been able to accept this reality mentally yet!"

"Then can I go see them?"

"Of course. Considering their current situation, they are not allowed to go to the classroom for the time being, so they are in the room with the aunt taking care of them!"

Secretary Wang put down his cup, stood up and said, "I'll take you there!"

"Okay, okay!" I immediately got up and prepared to go with her to see Xu Guoping's two children.

You must keep what you promised to people, let alone what you promised to ghosts, which must be done even more.

Otherwise, it is no joke if a ghost knocks on the door in the middle of the night.

When Zhang Yi saw me following him out, he stood up and pulled me aside: "You still want to wait for the dean to come back!"

"Yes!" I said matter-of-factly.

"It's getting dark soon!" He looked at the sky outside, "We haven't had lunch yet, aren't you hungry?"

"Hey, I'm going to eat here soon, and I also want to stay here for a day!"

"Are you crazy!" Zhang Yi tried his best to lower his voice and looked at me angrily.

"If you want to go back, you should go back first. After all, we are reporters now. I am going to conduct an in-depth interview here, an in-depth interview, do you understand?"

"Are you mentally ill? I'm so impressed with you. What are you doing living here?"

I rolled my eyes at her, and then followed Secretary Wang downstairs. Zhang Yi followed helplessly.

Following Secretary Wang, we arrived at the door of a room on the second floor, and then Secretary Wang knocked on the door.

Then a middle-aged woman's voice came from inside: "Who is it!"

"It's me!"

"oh……"

After a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman in work clothes came out, who must be the nanny.

"How are they?" Secretary Wang glanced into the room and asked.

"It's still like this. He doesn't cry or make trouble. He doesn't speak. He doesn't pay attention to anyone's words. He doesn't eat either! Alas!"

"How can this happen?" Secretary Wang looked anxious, so he opened the door and went in.

We also walked in.

I saw that the room was clean and tidy, with two small desks and a bunk bed. The bed was entirely made of wood and had exquisite railings for the bunk bed.

There is also a small wardrobe next to the bed, which is also very exquisite.

There were floral curtains hanging in the room, and a ray of sunset shone in from the window, just hitting the faces of the two little girls sitting beside the bed.

They two are really beautiful, with dark eyes and long eyelashes.

The fair skin looks like it has been soaked in milk, with a thin mist showing through it, as if a filter has been automatically added to the milk skin, making it look breakable under the sunlight.

Why are they so white? They are a bit abnormally white, like Caucasians.

Secretary Wang glanced at the food on the table, sighed, turned back to me and said:

"Look, we haven't eaten lunch yet!"

He took a few steps forward and walked up to the two little girls, knelt down and looked at their faces.

The two children seemed like two marquee dolls, without any expression.

I was inevitably a little sad, so I whispered: "I am your father's friend, and I was asked by him to come and see you."

When I said this, the two children seemed to be touched, and their eyelashes twitched subconsciously.
