Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 877 - 261: [Strange Children]

He pulled the girl, bowing to Chen Yan and others. The little girl, not understanding, obediently followed suit, saying thank you with little Shen, but her eyes clearly showed curiosity.

Lin Xianyu looked at the fair and clean complexion of the girl, whose appearance was much prettier than that of this skinny little boy. She couldn’t help but feel more compassion, and asked softly, "Is your orphanage very difficult?"

Shen Shiqi said slowly, "There used to be an organization that donated money to our orphanage, and we were doing okay. But... last year, the organization shut down and disbanded. The director mom went to the government, but the government’s funding is limited, and the director mom has also fallen ill recently..."

Lin Xianyu nodded and gave an eye signal to the assistant beside her.

The assistant followed Lin Xianyu, knowing that the employer she was serving had been crazy about doing charity in recent months. Looking at this situation, it seemed she planned to follow up on this matter.

The assistant asked the boy to leave his phone number, the name, and the address of the orphanage.

Chen Yan watched silently, without speaking — he didn’t intervene much, just waiting for Lin Xianyu to follow up.

Although Chen Yan also intended to help these two kids and their struggling orphanage, even though he had money.

But... isn’t there a merit-earning tool right beside him!

If he spent the money, he’d just be helping people purely.

Why not let Lin Xianyu spend the money, while he could earn some Merit Cultivation.

Suddenly, Chen Yan’s heart moved: "By the way, Shen Shiqi, you’re called Shen Shiqi, why is your sister called Shen Shijiu?"

"All the kids in the orphanage take the surname of Director Mom. Seventeen and nineteen are nicknames she gave us for convenience in remembering. I am the seventeenth child she adopted, and she is the nineteenth."

"Seventeen, nineteen... hmm, what about eighteen?"

"Eighteen was adopted by a family two years ago." Shen Shiqi’s tone was very indifferent.

On his immature face, there was a hint of an expression complex beyond his age, he said slowly, "Families adopting children also prefer to choose those who are healthy, cute, and good-looking."

After a pause, he shook his head and said, "Someone wanted to adopt before, and nineteen had the opportunity, but she happened to fall sick during those days and wasn’t chosen."

These words coming out of this young child’s mouth were in a very cold tone, Chen Yan nodded silently. He could understand where the hint of stubbornness and toughness in this boy’s gaze came from.

Afterward, Shen Shiqi and Shen Shijiu bid farewell to everyone. Shen Shiqi took his sister’s hand and walked towards a convenience store with lights on at the intersection. Then he unlocked an old lady’s bicycle parked at the store’s entrance, put his sister on it, and slowly pedaled away.

Everyone watched the children go away, then turned back to the restaurant together. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Little did they know, Shen Shiqi stopped a few hundred meters out after riding, sitting on the bike, turned back to look in the direction of the restaurant. In those dark eyes, there was a hint of thought and curiosity unbelievably mismatched with his age and identity, and a smile of surprise tugged at the corner of his mouth.

(Interesting, not just a mortal... That man knows the Interruption Technique. The one wearing a mask, has Demonic Qi...)

Then, he chuckled lightly, shook his head, and continued to ride away with his sister.

Back in the private room of the restaurant, Lin Xianyu was still holding that damaged foam box, taking out an intact popsicle, tearing it open, and putting it into her mouth.

This prominent small flower walking a seductive style was eating popsicles with crunching sounds, and actively picked out two more to give one each to Chen Yan and Zhao Shanhe.

"You plan to visit that orphanage tomorrow, right?"

"Crunch crunch crunch... Yeah."

"Tomorrow, I’ll go with you."

"Crunch crunch crunch... Sure, sure."

Alright, Chen Yan sighed, almost forgetting that this little fox was actually a genuine foodie.

"Teacher Chen, why are you interested in getting involved with this? Crunch crunch crunch..." Lin Xianyu had already quickly finished one popsicle and swiftly tore open another.

Chen Yan smiled without speaking.

That little boy named Shen Shiqi had a quality on him that was very familiar to Chen Yan.

And...

A lot like himself over ten years ago.

Cold, stubborn, and... lonely.

Distrustful of the world, and... indifferent to the world.
