The hat could keep out the cold and also cover this small defect. It was the best of both worlds.
However, in order to make Huo Yanqing wear the hat, Shuxin promised him that she would let him kiss her once every night before going to bed.
The two of them got out of the car. Shuxin held Huo Yanqing's hand and walked slowly towards the entrance of the orphanage.
Along the way, they left behind two rows of footprints.
The building of the orphanage was very old. The outer walls were painted with white lime, and there were even cracks in some places. There were a total of three floors, and each floor had six rooms. The room in the middle of the first floor was the director's office. On the left was the kitchen and the canteen. On the right was a simple game room for the children to play. The second and third floors were dormitories for the children to sleep.
Shuxin held Huo Yanqing's hand and went straight to the director's office. She raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Not long after, a woman in her fifties opened the door. When she saw the two exquisitely dressed people at the door, her somewhat weathered face was colored with doubt. "Who are you looking for?"
"Director Zhou, I am …" Shuxin stopped halfway. She almost forgot that the reason she volunteered at this orphanage in her previous life was because this orphanage was right behind Delong Company, where she worked. She could stand at the office window and see the children playing on the field.
In this life, she didn't work at Delong Company, so naturally, she didn't volunteer at the orphanage. Therefore, Director Zhou didn't know her in this life.
Shuxin paused for a moment and continued, "Director Zhou, I've volunteered here before. My name is Shuxin."
Zhou Yun sized up Shuxin's face. "Why don't I have any impression of you volunteering here?"
"I've only been here once or twice. You might have forgotten." Shuxin smiled and changed the topic. "I'm here specifically to look for you."
Zhou Yun moved aside and invited the two of them in. "Have a seat. I'll go make tea." After saying that, she left the room.
Shuxin held Huo Yanqing's hand and sat down at a square table. She began to look around the room. The layout was the same as in her previous life, simple and clean.
There was an air conditioner installed on the wall, but Zhou Yun had always been thrifty. She didn't turn it on even in such a cold day.
However, there was a heater placed on the square table. The table was covered with a patterned cotton tablecloth, which hung down to cover the four corners. The heater was placed inside with the smallest fire, but it was still very warm.
There was a piece of paper on the table. Shuxin looked at it. It was the budget for the orphanage.
Shuxin lifted the tablecloth Huo Yanqing was sitting on and put it on his lap. Then she put his hands under the tablecloth. "It's warm like this."
Then, he placed his hands and feet into the hollow table and covered them with the tablecloth. The warmth instantly spread from his knees to his entire body.
Huo Yanqing had never seen such a way of warming himself. He held Shuxin's hand under the tablecloth. "How do you know about this?"
Shuxin's face stiffened. She couldn't tell him that she had been here countless times in her previous life and was very familiar with this place. Fortunately, Huo Yanqing's eyes were blind, so he couldn't see her embarrassed and guilty expression. "Didn't I say that I've been here as a volunteer before?"
"But I don't think the director is familiar with you."
"… That's because there are too many volunteers. I've only been here once or twice. Naturally, she's not familiar with me."
"Yes."
Shuxin saw that Huo Yanqing seemed to believe her words. She sighed softly. Finally, she got away with it.
