River City.
Welfare Institute.
Today is Children's Day, and i Yinxue, as usual, brought a bunch of supplies and toys to celebrate the holiday with the children at the Welfare Institute.
i Yinxue was originally an orphan, and before she was adopted by her foster father, she lived at the River City Welfare Institute.
After growing up, she never forgot this place. Basically, every Children's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, Christmas, New Year, and other holidays, as long as she's not busy, she would co here to play with the children in the institute.
Today is just Children's Day, i Yinxue originally planned to co by herself, but when Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan heard about it, they also wanted to co along, whereas Gu Xiyan and Su Zijin couldn't make it because they had a lot to handle at Dragon King Hall.
"Little i, Mrs. Wen, thank you so much. You co every year to spend the holidays with the children…"
The old director of the welfare institute stood at the entrance, looked at the truck in front of the gate, and then turned her gaze with gratitude to i Yinxue and Wen Rou.
"Aunt Du, you are really too polite." i Yinxue said with a warm smile to the old director, wearing a simple and elegant white dress, without any jewelry.
The old director is already eighty-five years old this year. She started working at this welfare institute when she was in her thirties, later beca the director, and has stayed ever since.
Naturally, when i Yinxue was little, she was also cared for by her.
To i Yinxue, the old director is like half a family mber.
The old director said, "By the way, Little i, last year you ntioned that you found a good ho, but why haven't we seen you bring him over? We really want to et him."
Upon hearing the old director's words, i Yinxue's fair and charming face couldn't help but blush. She reached out to gather the hair blown across her forehead by the breeze and said calmly, "He'll be here soon."
"Really?" The old director heard i Yinxue's words and a joyful smile appeared on her aging face as she asked.
"Yes." i Yinxue nodded softly.
"Whew!"
At that mont, after contacting i Yinxue, Mu Jinyu hurried over.
In the blink of an eye, a breeze blew by, and the old director suddenly saw a young man in simple sumr clothes appear beside i Yinxue.
This sudden scene startled her a bit, and she nearly stumbled.
Mu Jinyu, noticing this, didn't bother greeting i Yinxue and the others first, but gently protected the old director with True Yuan, preventing her from falling.
"Grandma, are you okay? Sorry, I scared you…"
After the old director steadied herself, Mu Jinyu said sowhat shyly, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"I'm fine… I'm… fine…"
Over the past year, the old director had actually t many cultivators; she was just startled by Mu Jinyu's sudden appearance. Once she realized, she cald down.
i Yinxue then gave Mu Jinyu a sidelong glance, blushed, and holding Mu Jinyu's hand, gently said to the old director, "Aunt Du, he's the one I ntioned…"
"Oh, oh?"
The old director froze for a mont upon hearing i Yinxue's words, then raised her presbyopia glasses to closely examine Mu Jinyu.
Seeing Mu Jinyu's personable appearance, she was quite satisfied, though… he seed considerably younger than i Yinxue.
"Aunt Du, thank you for always taking care of Sister i when she was little, or I wouldn't have found such a wonderful wife."
Mu Jinyu also knew i Yinxue's background. Hearing her address the old director, he quickly responded with gratitude.
"That's what I should do." The old director nodded lightly and then asked, "May I know your surna, sir…"
"You can just call Little Mu, Aunt Du, I'm Mu Jinyu." Mu Jinyu said with a smile, changing his address for the old director from Grandma to Aunt Du like i Yinxue.
Afterward, Mu Jinyu noticed the truck behind him. There were many workers unloading cargo, as well as welfare institute staff and so older children helping, so he said, "Chat away, I'll go help too."
Not knowing whether the old director had any bias against cultivators, and having unintentionally startled her just now, Mu Jinyu went to help unload, without using Great Magical Power to swiftly move all the cargo to the welfare institute. Instead, he used his hands like the regular workers, unloading from the truck and placing them under the courtyard wall.
Yet, even so, Mu Jinyu, with his Divine Power, didn't feel tired and quickly finished unloading.
"Brother, here you go…"
Just then, a sweaty little boy, looking around seven or eight years old, handed Mu Jinyu a few tissues.
Mu Jinyu was stunned for a mont, then a smile filled his face. He took the tissues, thanked the boy, and squatted down to wipe the boy's sweaty forehead.
He wasn't sweating, so he didn't really need tissues.
But he worried that refusing them would hurt the boy's sensitive and fragile heart, so he did it like this.
Since Mu Jinyu also lived at Xiang Mantang in the welfare institute before, having such experiences, he knew better how to respond.
And this little boy was the one who carried the most during unloading among the welfare institute children.
In matters within his ability, he did his best.
"Big Brother, I…"
The little boy stood awkwardly, watching Mu Jinyu help wipe his sweaty forehead. He felt a bit nervous, yet touched.
Mu Jinyu smiled and asked, "No need to be nervous, what's your na?"
As he spoke, he used True Yuan to flow into the little boy's body, relieving his fatigue, while also drying his sweat-soaked clothes.
The little boy imdiately puffed out his chest and loudly answered, "My na is Ning Yue, Ning as in 'willing,' Yue as in 'surpass.'"
"Hmm, good na. Big Brother's na is Mu Jinyu, Mu as in 'admire,' Jinyu as in 'Jinyu Mantang'…" Mu Jinyu also introduced himself.
After saying that, he stood up, placing the tissues in his hand behind him, using True Yuan to turn them into powder, letting the wind scatter it away.
"Co on, let's go continue taking things inside."
Mu Jinyu held Ning Yue's hand and said.
"Okay." Ning Yue nodded, his eyes filled with determination.
Previously, after finishing the unloading, he felt extrely tired, but sohow, after talking with Big Brother, he felt an infinite surge of energy.
Preparing to take the goods placed in front of the courtyard wall and categorize them in the welfare institute's storage room with a burst of energy.
The old director stood aside, watching this scene, eyes full of relief. She turned to i Yinxue and said, "Little i, you truly found a good man."
i Yinxue gazed lovingly at Mu Jinyu, and hearing the old director's words, she didn't withdraw her gaze, instead, she gently gathered her hair and said, with a hint of happiness and slight heartache, "That's because he also grew up in the welfare institute before."
"So he knows better how to interact with the welfare institute's children."
The old director froze for a mont at this, then fell silent. She hadn't expected Mu Jinyu also had a similar background to i Yinxue, no wonder they ended up together.
Jian Ruyan also went to help, picking up a few boxes of milk cartons, she walked to Mu Jinyu's side and softly asked, "Did you also live here with Big Brother?"
