Chapter 241
Fade Chen looked up and saw that the last orphanage was located at quite a secluded area. The stone
road they were on lead to the orphanage, and there were basically no other buildings around it. The
orphanage was a two-story building surrounded by a wall. A wooden sign was hung on the wall, and on
the sign was written ‘Springlight Orphanage". The car and vans stopped at the gate of the orphanage.
The staff members on the van got off and started transporting the items from the van into the
orphanage. Fade and Quin Lin walked beside each other toward the orphanage. When they walked
into the orphanage, they didn’t see any children rushing over to grab their gifts, like in the other
orphanages. On the contrary, the courtyard of the orphanage was deserted, and they did not see
anyone. Quin couldn’t help but frown slightly. She quickened her pace and walked toward the two-story
building. Fade followed her immediately and glanced at their surroundings along the way. The ground
on the courtyard was covered with normal soil, and it was firm and solid. There was the outline of a
football field and a basketball court, with a ping-pong table next to it. As they walked through the
courtyard into the small building, they noticed that it had been repaired and the wall had been
repainted. Looking through the windows, he found that the living conditions inside the building were
simple yet tidy. Although there were signs of wear and tear, as well as dirt in some places, in general,
the environment of this orphanage was still acceptable. The children’s normal life and education would
not be affected. Quin walked through the corridor and went into the activity room on one side of the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsmall building. She peered inside the room. There were scraps of paper, clay, lanterns and other items
in the activity room. The children must have been preparing all sorts of decorations for the New Year.
However, at this moment, all these items were strewn on the table. No one was there. It seemed like
the children were in the midst of this activity when they had gone out. ‘What’s going on here? Where
have all the children gone?" Quin said, and she frowned slightly. Something did not feel right to her. At
this moment, Fade’s ears twitched. He could faintly hear voices from the back of the small building, so
he called out to Quin. He pointed behind her and said, ‘I can hear something over there." The two of
them passed through the building and arrived at the back of the building. As the two of them
approached the back, the sound that they heard became clearer. ‘Yes, your expression is not correct. If
you look sadder, it would be better. You should look like you are crying!" ‘You, don’t move. Stand
aside." "Mr. Hu, can you help me to take care of them? They are disobedient." Fade and Quin frowned
at the same time when they heard those words. Then, they quickened their pace and walked over.
They walked out of the building, and there was an open space there. Toilets, a recycling center and
other rooms were being constructed there. At this time, twenty to thirty children were all gathered in the
open space next to the toilet. Beside the children, there was a young woman with shoulder-length hair.
She was wearing a sailor uniform, and wearing a pair of feline accessories on her head. She was
constantly yelling at the children. The young woman pointed to the two children in the jacket and said
discontentedly, "Didn’t I tell you to wear less, so that you will look more pitiful ? Who told you to wear
the jacket ? Hurry up and take it off." "But, it’s very cold!" A child’s voice could be heard. The woman
suddenly became angry and shouted, "Do you want to receive a present ? If you want to get a gift,then
behave yourself." Then, the woman turned to the other side. She looked at several girls and finally
picked out a girl who was sweet and cute. She said, "Later, during the live broadcast, smile brightly at
the cell phone, and remember to act really cute. Do you understand?" "What do you mean by ’act really
cute’ ?" The girl asked, and she looked at the woman.She seemed confused. Do you get it?" The
young woman immediately demonstrated the actions that she wanted, such as pouting, fluttering the
eyes, smiling sweetly etc. She looked at the girl and said, "Just like that. Do you get it?" "Also,
remember to say brother and sister many times later, so that they will donate more gifts. Do you
understand?"the young woman said. The little girl nodded, and she was still rather confused. However,
she started practicing the cute gestures the woman had taught her. Then, the woman looked at the
average-looking girls and pondered on what she should do with them. Suddenly, her eyes fell on the
tap beside the toilet, and her eyes lit up. She said, "I know, bring a basin over and throw some old
clothes in it. During the live broadcast, you plain looking ones will wash the clothes by the tap. Do you
understand?" "But, sister, the water here is very cold. We use the water in the house to wash our
clothes," a little girl said. The woman was suddenly displeased and she yelled, "You refuse to listen to
me again. Just do as I say. Do you understand?" The little girl lowered her head timidly. The woman
bellowed, "Now, go and get some ice water, and soak your hands in it. Take them out when they are
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmred, do you understand?" After making these arrangements, the woman immediately took out her cell
phone. She clamped it skillfully onto the selfie stick, and then she turned on the live app. She waved
her hand at the camera, and she spoke in a melodious and charming voice, saying, "Hello everyone,
Little Luna here." "I am here at a very special place for today’s live broadcast." She turned her phone,
and the words "Springlight Orphanage" above the building came into view. Then Little Luna continued,
"Can you see that? I am at an orphanage nearby today. There are twenty-four children living here, but
the living conditions are very poor. After I heard the news, felt distressed. Therefore, I am here at the
orphanage with the purpose of paying a visit to these lovely children." Instantly, comments started to
appear on the cell phone screen "Little Luna is truly kind. She went to visit the orphanage in such cold
weather." "What a terrible environment. I would never imagine that someone could live in such a place."
"Good on you Little Luna. I’ll give you six likes." "I will give Little Luna 666 likes." "Where are the
children ? I want to see the children." Then, the cell phone camera was turned toward the children in
the orphanage. She swayed the phone slightly to capture the whole view. Finally, she focused the
camera on the little girl she had instructed to act cute. The woman spoke again, "These are the
children of Springlight Orphanage. It is freezing today, and their clothes are thin, and the living
conditions are dismal. When I arrived, everyone burst into tears, because they were so sad. Boo hoo!"
"Little Luna, don’t cry. I’ll give you a hug!" "Someone will help them, Little Luna, don’t cry." "Poor
children, I’m weeping for them." "Did anyone noticed that the little girl just now was so cute!" "Yeah, she
was so cute. Her face has turned red from the cold. I really want to bring her home and give her a hug!"
"I have an idea..." "I can bring her somewhere, and make a big profit out of her." "Don’t get any bad
ideas. You can get a punishment ranging from 3 years in jail to a death sentence! Do you understand?"
"Hmm, the little girl is cute, but my Little Luna is even cuter.".
