Xu Xinxin carried her white hands behind her back and searched in the corridor.

Every time she passed an office, she would stop, shake her head and look at the name of the office carefully.

When she reached the innermost room, she stopped.

"Do you have anything to do with the dean?" Chen Mo saw Xu Xinxin stopping in front of the dean's office.

Xu Xinxin didn't speak. She hesitated and pressed the door handle.

"Click click click..."

The door handle shook up and down twice, but the door didn't open.

Chen Mo smiled and said: "Dean, he is not in the office at this time."

"Except for special circumstances, he will not return to the office."

Xu Xinxin rolled her eyes at Chen Mo: "Where is the dean?"

"That's the one who was lecturing the children in the classroom just now." Chen Mo said with a smile, "She should still be in the classroom now."

Xu Xinxin glanced at Chen Mo dissatisfied, turned around and left.

Chen Mo felt his teeth.

Well, it doesn't hurt.

Not angry.

Suddenly Chen Mo felt that his ability was still very useful.

The two of them walked out of the reception hall, and a group of children all wowed when they saw Xu Xinxin.

"Wow……"

"What a beautiful sister."

A little boy of four or five years old trotted up to Chen Mo's legs, looked up at him, and asked: "Little... Brother Xiao Mo..."

"That sister is so beautiful..."

Chen Mo touched the little boy's head and said with a smile: "Well, how about it? My sister is so beautiful, does Xiaobei like it?"

The little boy nodded vigorously: "I like..."

The other children also gathered around and looked at Xu Xinxin carefully.

There were also a few timid children hiding behind Chen Mo, sticking their little heads out to peek.

The four or five-year-old boy suddenly ran up to Xu Xinxin, hesitated, and spread his palms.

It's a toffee.

The little boy looked at the toffee in his hand eagerly, a little reluctantly.

But he still stretched out his hand and said in a clear voice: "Sister..."

"I'll give you candy. When you get married to Brother Xiao Mo, you must not bully him..."

"Brother Xiao Mo is a good person..."

Upon hearing these words, Chen Mo was instantly petrified.

"Xiao Bei, wait a minute." Chen Mo quickly stepped forward and covered the little boy's mouth.

"Hmm..." The little boy looked up at Chen Mo pitifully.

Xu Xinxin had a faint smile on her face, and there was a ripple in her heart.

She touched the little boy's head, and there was a touch of tenderness in her pure voice.

"Thank you for the candy," she took the candy from the little boy and continued: "Little brother, you are so cute, can you please do a magic trick for me?"

Hearing this, the little boy's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Okay!"

Xu Xinxin's pure white hands took out the remaining piece of candy from her pocket and put it into the little boy's hand together with the candy she just gave her.

"It turned into two pieces!" the little boy said in shock.

The children around were all shocked when they saw this scene, and they all stepped forward and raised the toffee in their hands.

"Sister, we also want to see this magic..."

"elder sister……"

Suddenly, the yard became lively.

Looking at the children jumping around her, Xu Xinxin's smile froze on her face.

Chen Mo on the side almost laughed out loud.

A circle of little ones jumped around Xu Xinxin, clamoring to see the magic trick, but actually wanting more candy.

In the end, Chen Mo came to the rescue for her.

"Sister, can you do magic tricks for everyone next time? Next time everyone can turn into at least a bag of candy, okay?" Chen Mo stretched out a finger and said seriously.

"Okay!" the child shouted happily.

Only then did the children disperse.

Xu Xinxin's face turned red, and she smoothed her long, silky hair to cover up her inner panic.

She had never seen any big winds or waves in recent years, and she almost overturned her car today.

"Let's go, the dean is inside." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Xu Xinxin glared at Chen Mo meaningfully,

Chen Mo couldn't help but smile when he remembered what the little boy had just said.

When I walked into the classroom, I saw an old man with gray hair sitting on a chair, wearing reading glasses and a red pen in his hand, grading homework.

"Xiao Chen, why did you bring sweets to the children again when you came back? Too much sweets are bad for your teeth..." The old man had long been attracted by the noise in the yard, and he criticized.

Chen Mo chuckled and said, "Grandpa Zhao, didn't this happen suddenly? Besides, one piece for each person is not much."

The old man raised his head and glanced at Chen Mo angrily.

Xu Xinxin on the side looked at the old man absentmindedly.

After a long time, a trace of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

"What? What's the matter?" Mr. Zhao asked.

"This friend of mine wants to see you for something." Chen Mo pointed at Xu Xinxin.

Xu Xinxin pursed her lower lip and said, "That's right. Did you have an orphan named Xu Xinxin here before? It was about eighteen years ago..."

Hearing these words, Chen Mo's body was shaken.

He looked at Xu Xinxin with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

It turns out that she used to be just like me...

The dean frowned slightly after hearing this. He counted the time and sighed: "Eighteen years ago, I was not the dean here..."

After hearing this, Xu Xinxin looked lonely and a little disappointed.

Chen Mo on the side roughly guessed the whole story and said: "Eighteen years ago, Grandpa Zhao's brother was the dean."

Xu Xinxin looked at Chen Mo with a hint of hope in her eyes.

Chen Mo paused and couldn't bear to say the next words.

"But twelve years ago, the old dean was affected by the aftermath of the annihilation incident, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead..."

After hearing these words, Xu Xinxin's mood suddenly dropped.

Chen Mo's heart also stung, and his teeth began to hurt.

Mr. Zhao probably understood Xu Xinxin's purpose and said: "Later, according to the official Bizarre Investigation Bureau report, my brother was said to have strayed into an extremely dangerous mysterious area, and his life and death are unknown."

"Later, the files for the six years between eighteen years ago and his disappearance were also destroyed."

Files destroyed?

Chen Mo heard about this for the first time and couldn't help but ask: "The files were also destroyed?"

Mr. Zhao nodded: "Before I took over, the archives room of the orphanage caught fire for no apparent reason. After putting out the fire, I found that only the archives of that period were on fire..."

"Maybe it's man-made, maybe it's the work of some out-of-control weirdo," Mr. Zhao shook his head, looked at Xu Xinxin and said, "If you want to see the file, it's gone."

Xu Xinxin felt a little bad after hearing this. The purpose of her coming here was to confirm one thing.

"It would be easier if my brother was still alive. Even if the files are gone, there are detailed records in the notebook he carries with him."

"Every child who comes here has a record." Mr. Zhao said regretfully.

Over the years, family members and grown-up orphans have come back one after another to inquire about the news from that year.

Unfortunately, the files were burned and his brother disappeared.

The family members and orphans who came to visit could only leave with disappointment.
