Bo Sishen raised his hand, gently wiping away the moisture from the corner of her eye with his thumb, his face full of affection.
Mu Shini chewed on a beef atball and said while chewing, "Uncle, let’s bring the late-night snacks out to them! Otherwise, the noodles will get soggy!"
"Nian Nian, are you okay?" Bo Sishen, seeing her force a smile, was very worried about her and asked in a low voice.
"I’m fine, Uncle. Hurry and bring out the cooked snacks," Mu Shini said with a smile, pressing her lips together.
Mu Shini carried the tableware from the kitchen and said to the children who were playing around, "Ti to eat! Everyone, set up your chairs and sit down!"
"Yay! We can have late-night snacks!"
The children, hearing that it was ti to eat, eagerly moved their small stools and sat in rows at the long table.
Mu Shini, Bo Sishen, and the orphanage mother served noodles to the children, watching them eat with great enjoynt.
Bo Sishen’s gaze fell on Mu Shini. In front of the children, she looked like a little fairy. He thought it was rather ironic that soone of his stature in the military, governnt, and business worlds would be making late-night snacks in this place.
How lucky these children were!
"Uncle, thank you for your hard work!" Mu Shini said gratefully to Bo Sishen, handing his coat to him.
Bo Sishen, slling of oil and smoke, took the coat Mu Shini offered, wore it, and nodded calmly with a faint "hmm".
"Clang——"
"Why did you steal my atball!"
"I don’t have any left!"
Suddenly, two boys knocked their bowls and noodles onto the floor and started fighting.
Bo Sishen initially intended to stop them, but Mu Shini was faster.
Mu Shini separated the two fighting children, "You can’t fight and damage the harmony, got it?"
"Sister Nian Nian, but he ate my food!"
"Both of you, sit down," Mu Shini instructed the two boys.
"Okay..." the two boys responded in unison and obediently sat back down. She served them another bowl of noodles, ensuring that everyone had the sa number of atballs.
"Wow! Thank you, Sister Nian Nian!"
"Thank you, Sister Nian Nian!"
The two boys, seeing the many atballs, stopped crying and thanked her.
"Now, how about you two shake hands and make peace?" Mu Shini gently suggested, patting the boys on their backs.
"Sure!"
The two boys shook hands and made up.
"Good! From now on, don’t snatch each other’s food. If you want sothing, just say it. If there’s more, you can have more. If not, be patient, okay? Friends shouldn’t fight over small things and hurt their feelings," Mu Shini said softly and sweetly.
"Sister Nian Nian, we got it!"
"Once everyone finishes eating, take out your howork and let Sister Nian Nian check if you’ve done it and if you’ve done it well," Mu Shini said, seeing that everyone had almost finished eating.
"Okay! We love it when Sister Nian Nian checks our howork the most!"
...
Bo Sishen stood at a distance, quietly watching this scene. The orphanage mother saw the complex look in Bo Sishen’s eyes as he watched Mu Shini and walked over, whispering, "Teacher Nian Nian, our Nian Nian is such a good child. She always cos here to volunteer whenever she has ti, and all the kids love her."
Bo Sishen furrowed his brow slightly. Watching the girl seriously checking the children’s howork under the bright light, her focused and attentive deanor was captivating.
"How did she find this place?" Bo Sishen wondered why she would co to the orphanage. Was it because she lacked love and ca to give care to the children?
