"Dean." Lin Ze nodded to the dean beside him and asked.
The dean watched the scene in the room with his eyes and said softly: "Anyway, thank you very much for your donation to the welfare home."
The dean then said: "How is it? Did Xiao Ming recognize her sister?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "It seems that there is still no possibility at present. Even if two normal people are separated at such a young age, they may not be able to recognize each other, let alone Xiao Ming's situation."
Lin Ze sighed and said: "We can only let Andy and Xiao Ming have more contact now, so that Xiao Ming can gradually adapt to Andy's existence."
As he spoke, Lin Ze looked at the dean and said sincerely: "So I have to trouble dean to continue taking care of Xiao Ming for a while."
"Actually, I don't want Xiao Ming to leave." The dean looked at Xiao Ming in the room and slowly said, "Xiao Ming is actually a very well-behaved child. When I was busy, he would sit next to me obediently.
He is doing his own thing. He is a very worry-free child."
The dean pointed at Andy in the room and continued: "Actually, what you are doing is right. When I took Xiao Ming in, I gained Xiao Ming's trust slowly and step by step."
Lin Ze actually had an idea in his mind, but it required the support of the dean. Lin Ze thought for a while and asked: "Has the dean ever thought about changing the location of the welfare home? Or becoming the dean of a new welfare home?
”
The dean turned his head and looked at Lin Ze, and said slowly: "I know what you mean, but I am getting older and miss the past, so I really don't want to bother anymore."
Seeing that the dean was determined, Lin Ze did not try to persuade him any more and said apologetically: "I was presumptuous."
After the dean stood and watched for a while, he said to Lin Ze reassuringly: "I still have something to deal with. If you have anything, go to the office and see me."
"Okay, thank you, Dean." Lin Ze watched the Dean leave.
In the room.
Andy, who had already completed a Sudoku game, was a little surprised by her brother's sensitivity to numbers. His filling speed every time was actually faster than her, a top student who graduated from Columbia University.
This made Andy feel proud of Xiao Ming. She knew that many geniuses with high IQs suffered from certain mental illnesses. Could Xiao Ming be in the same situation?
She also knows that this is a kind of inner comfort for herself, but Xiao Ming has become like this, and she can only try her best to think on the bright side of things.
Andy took advantage of the time to prepare a new Sudoku and said carefully: "Xiao Ming, do you still remember me?"
Xiao Ming raised his head and glanced at Andy, then quickly lowered his head, shook his head and said nothing.
Andy sighed quietly, it seemed that Xiao Ming really didn't recognize her.
"Do you still remember when we were kids and sneaked out because we missed home? And that Li Xue who bullied you from time to time?"
Xiao Ming shook his head. He couldn't understand what this big sister was talking about, and then pointed to the Sudoku that Andy had already drawn in his hand.
Andy hid the disappointed expression on his face, put on a smile again, handed the paper in his hand to Xiao Ming and said: "This time, you go first."
Andy played Rubik's Cube and Sudoku with Xiao Ming all afternoon, until Lin Ze walked in with lunch provided by the orphanage.
"Let's eat first." Lin Ze raised the lunch box in his hand and gestured to Andy.
Andy handed the Rubik's cube that he had twisted in his hand to Xiao Ming and said kindly: "Let's rest for a while and then we can continue after eating."
Xiao Ming shook his head, stood up from the chair and walked out the door.
When Andy saw this, he shouted worriedly: "Xiao Ming, where are you going?"
But Xiao Ming ran faster when he heard Andy's voice. Lin Ze put the lunch box on the table and said to Andy: "Don't worry, he should have gone to find the dean. Let's follow him and have a look."<
/p>
"Yeah."
Sure enough.
Xiao Ming trotted all the way to the dean's office. Seeing Lin Ze and Andy chasing after him, the dean persuaded: "Don't be too impatient, I will take care of Xiao Ming's meals."
"Well, thank you, dean." After saying that, Lin Ze pulled Andy out of the dean's office.
Seeing that Andy was in a bad mood, Lin Ze comforted him: "We can't rush this kind of thing. Let's go eat first and see how the food here is."
"Yeah." Andy, who had no appetite at first, heard Lin Ze's words and reluctantly cheered up and went back to the room where Lin Ze was staying.
The dishes are very ordinary home-cooked dishes, one roasted eggplant, one mushu pork and one egg soup. The taste of the dishes is neither good nor bad, and it can make people have an appetite to eat it.
After dinner, Xiao Ming was unwilling to stay with Andy and kept following the dean. The dean's persuasion had no effect.
"Can you come with me for a walk?" There is a hint of pleading hidden in Andy's eyes that is not easy to detect.
"Let's go."
Andy and Lin Ze were walking in the yard of the welfare home. It was just after dinner. There were many old people and children in the yard coming out to chat, drink tea, walk, and play.
Andy looked at the scene of two children playing together and recalled: "When I was a child in the orphanage, my brother and I were just like them, but I never expected that he would not remember me now."
Andy's eyes gradually turned red as he spoke, "I feel so sorry for him and my mother."
Lin Ze took out a pack of disposable tissues from his bag, took one out and handed it to her and said: "After you finish handling Tan Zongming's matter, take Xiao Ming to Kyoto and abroad, and find a mental expert to take a closer look.
Well, we will find a cure."
Andy took the paper handed over by Lin Ze and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said firmly: "Even if Xiao Ming cannot be cured, I will support him for the rest of his life, and"
Andy didn't say the rest. She would definitely go to the doctor. It was not only Xiao Ming's problem, but also her problem.
From mother to Xiao Ming, everyone suffers from certain mental problems, but what about her?
Thinking of this, Andy secretly glanced at Lin Ze beside him. It would be great if I could meet him earlier. Maybe I could fall in love with him and break up with him after he meets his girlfriend.
This way she doesn't have to think about getting married or having children, and she doesn't have to worry about passing on the disease to the next generation.
Andy was thinking humbly in her heart. She looked at Lin Ze with some extravagance and said, "Can I lend you your shoulder to lean on?"
Due to the problem of resisting contact with other people, she has never had this experience before. She is really tired now. Sorry, let me be selfish for a moment.
"Come on." Lin Ze took the initiative to open his hands and said to Andy.
Andy approached Lin Ze unfamiliarly, slowly leaned his head on Lin Ze's chest, closed his eyes, and did not choose to wrap his arms around Lin Ze's lower back.
