Chapter 32: Bonds of the Same Kind Three

  "Hey! Come here!"

  "Huh?" Yin Teng Ye looked at the fierce and evil appearance of the old men, hesitated for a moment. He was puzzled, why did these old people point their spears at him? Didn't he say that he would send someone to take care of them? Wasn't it going to cost money? Even the pig didn't want to spend money on repairing the bathtub!

  "Are you senile already, young man? Come over quickly!"

  "Oh, oh." Yin Tongye slowly moved his steps and came to Liu Shuai's front. As soon as he stood still, his forehead was heavily knocked, and the pain made him cry out: "Ah! Why did you hit me!"

  "Who told you to put on such a young master's airs, go and fix the chair quickly! Let you fix it then fix it! Also, you yourself said that you would send someone to take care of us, your words must count, so many people have heard what you said!"

  "What?! You guys are really taking advantage of me, huh? Alright! I keep my word, unlike some people who are so petty. Forget about fixing that chair, I'll get you a new one instead! How's that?"

  Yin Tengya put his hands on his hips, speaking very generously, raising his proud chin, he looked down at Zhuo Xiaowei among the old men.

  "Really, great! Now the hospital director and Xiao Wei won't have to work so hard!" The old folks all cheered and were overjoyed, their wrinkled faces looking especially adorable.

  Xiao Wei saw that everyone was so happy, and she felt grateful to look at Young Master Yin, but also very ashamed. She seemed to have added a lot of trouble for Young Master Yin, and she didn't dare hope that he would forgive her either.

  Xiao Wei was massaging grandpas and grandmas with a smile, Yin Teng Ye looked at her cheerful face, inexplicably felt annoyed in his heart, he curled his lips and said: "Who else wants a massage."

  "Will you help us with massage? I! I!" Several other waiting grandpas and grandmas also raised their hands, like a group of happy old kids, very enthusiastic.

  "Mr. Yin, I'm really sorry." Xiaowei apologized with a nod, but Yin Tengye ignored her and helped the elderly people press the mochi instead. He didn't want to be seen as inferior to that pig in his grandparents' eyes.

  Two people enthusiastically helped the elderly with massages, told them stories, jokes, and chatted with them, all filled with laughter and joy, looking like a harmonious scene.

  The principal came back with new household items, saw everyone smiling, and caught sight of Xiaowei and the new boy. She smiled and said: "Xiaowei, you've brought a friend again."

  "Director, you're back!" Xiao Wei excitedly came forward to help with the luggage, took a glance at Mr. Yin and shook her head: "He's not someone I brought along, he's here to send Mrs. Chen back, Mrs. Chen's knee problem acted up again on the way, fortunately there was him, but he's also my classmate."

  "Is that so, how nice! The classmates who are with Wei are all kind and enthusiastic kids. What about your two classmates? It's been a while since I've seen them." The principal, wearing glasses and looking gentle and amiable, stroked Wei's hair, feeling very grateful in his heart.

  "They are all being forced by their families to take supplementary classes now and have no time to come over, they said they will find some spare time next week."

  "Ah, ah, what a good kid. Uncle and aunties, I've bought back the daily necessities, you all continue chatting, don't mind me." The principal waved his hand and walked into the house with things in hand, Xiao Wei helped to carry some of them, following beside him: "Let me help you."

  Under everyone's gaze, Xiaowei followed the dean into the house. Zhao Ayi suddenly sighed and said: "Alas, when will Xiaowei find her biological mother?"

  "Yeah, Xiaowei must be very nervous about the news brought back by the dean this time."

  "I was disappointed last time, so I hope this time will be good news."

  Grandfather and grandmother were talking, Yin Tongye silently listened, probably understanding that she also didn't have a mother. What was she looking for now? Could she find it? He had previously taken the 'crystal shoe' to various places on vacation and inquired about many things, but there was no news of his own mother. Since grandma's death, he stopped searching.

  "Isn't your mother with you?" Yin Tongye asked tactfully.

  "Yes, Xiaowei said she was adopted and only found out last year, so since then, she has been wanting to find her biological mother." Liu Shuai replied.

  "Earlier when I was volunteering here, I heard the director mention something similar once, so I asked the director to ask about the specific situation, and the result..." Grandma Chen sighed and shook her head, and everyone felt disappointed for Xiaowei.

  The daily necessities were placed on the table. Xiaowei bit her lower lip, feeling a little nervous in her heart, but she calmed down and asked: "Director, who is this time?"

  The principal slowly raised her eyes, and a hint of sadness flashed in her slightly turbid eyes. She shook her head: "No. Although it was also seventeen years ago that she had her own child... but he's a boy, so..."

  "I understand, thank you Dean. I'm always troubling the Dean, it's really embarrassing and sorry." Xiaowei bowed deeply, quickly put things in order, glanced at the sky outside, and smiled: "It's getting late, I have to hurry back."

  "Alright, be careful on your way."

  "Ah, goodbye Dean!" She bowed politely again and quickly ran out of the house, waving to the elderly couple: "Grandpa and grandma, I'm going back now, bye! Young Master Yin, are you leaving too? Want to walk together?"

  "Oh, okay, I'm leaving too. Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma."

  Yin Tengye hurriedly followed Xiao Wei, waving his hand. The two left the nursing home and walked slowly side by side on the road, both silent and not saying a word.

  The sunset stretched the shadows of the two people, and the soft orange light of the evening glow shone on their faces, as if it had brought out the same sadness in both of their hearts, making this sorrow clearly written on their faces.

  As they walked to the bus stop, Xiaowei stopped and broke the silence, saying apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yin, for having you accompany me on such a long walk."

  Yin Teng Ye looked at the bus stop sign, shrugged his shoulders: "You want to take the bus back? I'll call my driver to pick me up and drop you off along the way."

  "No need to trouble Young Master Yin anymore, today you've done so many things for us and even spent money on our behalf. We're really sorry about that and also very grateful, thank you for helping Grandpa and Grandma."

  "I accept your thanks, since you want to thank me, then listen to me. " Yin Tongye suddenly hooked her neck and dragged her while walking and taking out her phone to make a call: "Hello, come to xxx to pick me up! Hurry!"

  "Huh?" Xiaowei grabbed his strong arm, her eyes darting back and forth as she looked at the passersby on the side, her feet tapping anxiously on the ground, feeling very embarrassed.

  Does Mr. Yin think she's a toy or something? He's dragging her away with his neck hooked like that, it's so embarrassing and weird...

  "Master!" Before long, Mu Guan's driver appeared in front of Yin Tongye driving a stretch limousine.

  Yin Teng Ye stuffed Xiao Wei into the car without saying a word, slammed the door shut, and it was dark inside the car with no lights on.
