Chapter 564 The Children of the Orphanage

"Meow~ Are you coming with me tomorrow?"

The cat, Meros, let out a low, gentle meow, and then spoke directly, softly asking little Lin Xiyue a question.

Its voice revealed a sense of concern and expectation, as if it were waiting for Lin Xiyue's reply.

Lin Xiyue's reaction was somewhat slow. She blinked and nodded slowly after a while.

Her movements seemed a little clumsy, as if she hadn't fully snapped out of her thoughts.

At this moment, the atmosphere between them seemed especially endearing.

The cat's fluffy body contrasted sharply with Lin Xiyue's petite figure, making anyone who saw it want to burst out laughing.

However, at that moment, Lin Xiyue suddenly realized that this was probably not the first time she had seen the cat, Molos.

She recalled a scene that flashed through her mind: little Lin Xiyue was being bullied and covered in injuries, and it was at that moment that the cat Molos appeared.

Now, Lin Xiyue carefully observed "herself" and found that not only had her wounds healed, but her whole body had also become much cleaner.

She could sense that little Lin Xiyue had been well taken care of during this time, a stark contrast to her previous condition.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiyue's eyes flashed, and the scene jumped to the next day in a flash, like a movie fast-forwarding.

As expected, Melos appeared at the orphanage gate on time.

At this moment, he had returned to human form, wearing a well-tailored suit. The sharp lines of the suit accentuated his tall and slender figure, making him appear elegant and dignified, just like a successful person.

You can't tell at all that he's not human, but some other race.

Moreover, several people were closely following Melos, including the director of the orphanage and some of the orphanage's junior leaders.

These people surrounded Meros like stars around the moon, their faces full of fawning smiles, as if he were their benefactor.

Well, maybe they really are our providers?

Just from this scene, Lin Xiyue could imagine that Molos was here to donate a large sum of money to the welfare home.

After all, how could he have these people so eagerly surrounding him without sufficient financial resources?

Lin Xiyue's consciousness was already somewhat blurred at this moment. She was not sure if she had fainted from the pain, but at least for now she could not feel any pain.

But she still tried her best to concentrate on observing the images that kept flashing through her mind but which she had no recollection of.

In the following scene, Meros appears quite casual, leisurely touring every corner of the orphanage accompanied by the director.

They first went to the cafeteria, which, although poorly equipped, was spotless.

Next is the playroom, where the toys are neatly arranged and the floor is clean and tidy;

Then there was the classroom, with desks and chairs arranged neatly and the blackboard gleaming.

Finally, there was the bedroom, where the bed was neatly made and the windows were as bright as a mirror.

It can be seen that although the facilities of the orphanage are not first-class, they have been carefully maintained and thoroughly cleaned before Meros arrived.

Even the spider webs on the ceiling that were previously visible in the footage have vanished without a trace.

Now, the whole welfare home gives Lin Xiyue the feeling that, although it is somewhat old, every part of it reveals signs of careful maintenance.

The reason Lin Xiyue was able to see this scene was because the little Lin Xiyue, like a kitten, was quietly hiding in a corner, secretly observing Moros.

Melos had keen eyesight and noticed Lin Xiyue's little movements from the very beginning.

When he noticed that Lin Xiyue was secretly observing him, he even winked mischievously at the little Lin Xiyue when no one was paying attention.

"I've taken a look, and this place is really nice. I'd like to adopt a child, and all the necessary paperwork is here."

After giving a general tour of the orphanage, Meros said to the director.

His tone was calm and firm, clearly indicating that he had given it considerable thought and was well-prepared.

After saying that, Meros gestured to one of the people standing next to him.

That person followed Meros like a shadow, almost unnoticed by anyone.

However, when Meros gave the signal, he immediately sprang into action, quickly taking out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase and handing them to the dean.

After receiving the document, the dean did not immediately flip through it, but first carefully examined Meros, seemingly assessing whether he truly had the sincerity and ability to adopt a child.

Then, the dean began to carefully examine the contents of the documents, confirming page by page that all the documents and materials provided by Meros were authentic and correct.

After a careful review, the dean finally nodded in satisfaction, a smile appearing on his face.

“Okay, Mr. Meros, these documents look fine. Now we can discuss the specifics of the adoption further.”

He looked up at Meros, then smiled and said...

"We are very pleased that you, Mr. Mo, have chosen our orphanage, you know, that one..."

The dean smiled broadly, displaying extreme politeness and officialdom towards Meros, but when it came to speaking, he suddenly became somewhat hesitant.

"Don't worry, I know. I will donate money to build new dormitories and other facilities, as long as I can find a child I'm satisfied with."

Meros looked at the dean expressionlessly; his cold face showed little warmth, but he still spoke.

Although Meros's words were concise, they instantly brought a smile to the dean's old face, which blossomed into a bright smile. He nodded repeatedly, as if afraid that Meros might change his mind.

One of the people standing next to the dean, upon hearing Meros's words, immediately understood and left the group, quickly heading towards the classroom where the class was in session.

Before long, a large group of children, led by their teachers, rushed into the yard and stood together, huddled together.

The children were of varying ages, but they were all told that the wealthy man had come to adopt them.

As a result, the children all became exceptionally well-behaved, gazing at Meros with expectant eyes, seemingly praying silently that they would be chosen by him.

There were about twenty children in the yard, all standing close together in front of Meros, and some of them were secretly trying to squeeze to the front.

Unlike the usual noisy children, it was unusually quiet here, without a single sound.

This kind of tranquility might be a rare sight elsewhere, but here it's just an ordinary thing.
