The sun has not yet risen, and the mist lingers. At the entrance of the Sunshine Orphanage in the south of Yunyang City, Ye Nianhan returned to the hospital with a bag of vegetables in his hand.
"Sister Han!"
A porcelain doll-like girl ran over lightly, her figure swaying.
Ye Nianhan freed up one hand to pick up the girl and smiled fondly: "Xuanxuan, why did you get up so early today?"
The girl hugged her neck: "Wait...wait for sister."
Ye Nianhan kissed the girl on the face: "Xuanxuan is so kind. Sister, go bring the vegetables to grandma. You can go to the house and play for a while."
"Hmm!"
Xuanxuan waddled back to the building like a cute little penguin.
Ye Nianhan smiled softly, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
"Grandma, the vegetables are here."
When Ye Nianhan walked into the kitchen, Huang Yi was cooking gruel. Seeing Ye Nianhan coming, she quickly waved her hand: "Come on, Nianhan, try this porridge to see if it suits your appetite."
Huang Yi made a small bowl for Ye Nianhan and handed it over.
"Be careful, it's hot."
Ye Nianhan put down the bag in his hand, carefully took the porcelain bowl, took a small sip, and drank the tea for a while, then frowned slightly.
Huang Yi saw her expression and asked nervously: "What? Is the smell too strong?"
Ye Nianhan shook his head.
"The taste is too bland?"
Ye Nianhan shook his head again.
"Then what's your expression?"
Ye Nianhan smiled playfully: "I just think that the porridge made by grandma is delicious. I am worried about how I can make such delicious porridge in the future!"
"You stinky girl, how dare you play tricks on me!"
Huang Yi laughed and cursed.
"But, as long as you like it. Okay, it's almost time to wake everyone up."
"Hmm!"
Ye Nianhan put the vegetables in the vegetable basket in the kitchen and said: "Today's dishes are a little cheaper than yesterday. They only cost six yuan in total. The boss gave me a cheaper price."
Huang Yi stroked Ye Nianhan's head with relief and guilt: "Thank you for your hard work, Nianhan."
"It's okay, I'm their sister."
Ye Nianhan is only twelve years old this year and is already the oldest child in the Sunshine Orphanage.
After waking up the children, everyone sat neatly in front of their respective seats and ate the same breakfast. Occasionally, some little boys were naughty and secretly took a spoonful of porridge from the girl next to them, which later attracted the little girl's attention.
Cry.
At this time, another boy would pour two spoons of the porridge in his bowl, and then the girl would immediately turn from sadness to joy and thank him.
Ye Nianhan looked at the stunned expressions of the boys who were naughty at first and couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
The clown is by my side...
Dean Huang Yi received a call at this time and went out, so the children were taken care of by Ye Nianhan and the aunt who swept the floor.
"Sister, perm."
Xuanxuan raised her head, with a pair of beautiful big eyes and a cute little pout.
"Okay, sister, let me blow it for you."
Ye Nianhan scooped up a spoonful of hot porridge, blew it gently, and tested the temperature himself before feeding it to the little girl.
Xuanxuan ate the porridge, leaving some sticky porridge on her mouth and collar.
After breakfast, Ye Nianhan packed up his things and started washing dishes in the kitchen.
At this time, Huang Yi, who had gone out, returned.
"I'll wash it."
Huang Yi stepped up and took over Ye Nianhan's job.
Ye Nianhan was stunned for a moment: "Then I'll clean the table."
"No need for now."
Huang Yi stopped her.
"Nianhan, grandma wants to ask you a question."
Ye Nianhan stood there with doubts in his heart.
"Well, grandma, tell me."
"Nianhan, where do you plan to go next?"
In the world of ghosts, twelve is a special age.
Spiritual cultivators can only attend martial arts school at the age of twelve and graduate at the age of eighteen. Ordinary people start learning various knowledge at the age of twelve and graduate at the same age.
Ye Nianhan didn't even think about it: "I want to apply for Tianyang Martial Arts School."
Her spiritual veins have been activated for a long time, she is very talented, and spiritual cultivation is a good choice.
Huang Yi put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands and looked at Ye Nianhan with a slightly different look than usual.
"Nianhan, have you ever thought about looking for your parents?"
Ye Nianhan tilted her head, seeing Huang Yi's eyes dodge a little, and then thinking that Huang Yi hurriedly walked to the door after answering the phone this morning, she vaguely guessed something.
"Did they come here?"
The silence lasted for a moment.
Huang Yi finally said: "Well, they want to pick you up and leave."
There was silence in the kitchen. Seeing that Ye Nianhan didn't reply, Huang Yi persuaded him: "They said that they left you because they were being chased by your enemies and had to leave you. Now that they are safe, they want to take you over."
You go home."
"Take me...home..."
These four words were as heavy as a huge boulder, pressing on Ye Nianhan's heart.
"If this is the case, I will accept it."
Huang Yi was slightly surprised: "Really?"
Ye Nianhan smiled slightly, his smile was sweet and cute: "Of course, if this is true!"
Huang Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and her vicissitudes of face could not help but wrinkle: "Nianhan, what do you mean?"
Ye Nianhan took two steps back and stood at the door of the kitchen.
"I don't know who you are, but I admit, this is a very good dream, but I think I should wake up."
A wisp of breeze blew out of the kitchen surrounded by walls, white mist rose, and Huang Yi turned into a figure hidden in the white mist.
It was not a human figure, but some kind of monster.
"When did you find out?"
"From the moment I entered this dream."
The white mist curled up, rising like a flame and then dissipating.
"You are the first to wake up, and the only one to wake up so quickly."
Ye Nianhan smiled confidently: "Xiao Xi and the others will wake up soon. I have confidence in them."
"Can you tell me why?"
"What do you want to ask?"
"Anyone who is pulled into the dream by me will have part of their memory sealed. Why can you still remember them?"
Ye Nianhan raised his palm, his white and tender little hand was empty.
"The ring is gone."
"Ring?"
"Storage ring."
"Is it because of this?"
Ye Nianhan heard the disbelief in the other party's words.
"That was given to me by Xiao Xi. It's very important, including the things stored in it. You won't understand."
The other party seemed to sigh softly, as if he had accepted his fate: "If you win, I will let you wake up."
Ye Nianhan nodded, but was not in a hurry to leave: "Can you tell me, what will happen if I don't wake up?"
"It's just a deep sleep."
The other party had no intention of hiding anything.
"Yeah... Anyway, thank you very much for this dream. But for me now, finding my parents is not the most important wish. Protecting and cherishing the present is."
"If everyone thought like you, I might not be what I am now."
No sound, no change.
That was a real dream, slowly disappearing.
When Ye Nianhan opened his eyes again, the sky was bright.
Ye Nianhan sat up from the ground and looked at the storage ring on his index finger, feeling slightly relieved.
Then she looked to her side.
Like her, Yun Xi and Xiao Lingyuan were both lying on the stone plate, closing their eyes and falling into a deep sleep.
"You will wake up, I believe."
She said softly.
As if in response to her words, Yun Xi and Xiao Lingyuan's eyelashes trembled slightly at this moment.
***The author has something to say***
The genre of the novel will be changed next week. I feel that the book I wrote deviates from the traditional fantasy novel and is more like a light novel, so I will change the genre next week
