Chapter 859: Going To School
Su Wan wanted to ask about Jiang Xuecheng’s next plans, but seeing the man’s calm expression, she felt that Jiang Xuecheng should know more about these things than she did.
She was a layperson, so she only knew a little about these things. It was better for her not to give any random advice.
Su Wan believed that Jiang Xuecheng would properly handle the disaster relief. As for the series of pests represented by Executive Officer Lin, it was only a matter of time before they were cleaned up.
After Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng finished their meal, the two of them went out for a walk.
The people here basically did not recognize the two of them. Even if someone cast a curious glance at them, there was no malice in it.
Su Wan felt exceptionally relaxed. She silently held Jiang Xuecheng’s hand and looked at him with a smile.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xuecheng took off his coat and put it over Su Wan’s shoulder.
“It’s cold at night.”
Jiang Xuecheng glanced at Su Wan, and the corner of Su Wan’s lips curved deeper.
The two of them strolled for about half an hour before they finally returned to the place where they stayed.
Executive Officer Lin had sent an electronic report. Jiang Xuecheng insisted that Su Wan go to bed first, and since Su Wan couldn’t persuade him, she had to wash up first.
It was a dreamless night, and she didn’t know when Jiang Xuecheng went to bed.
Jiang Xuecheng checked the numbers until midnight. He took a simple shower, and when he returned to his room, he found that Su Wan had left a small light for him.
Jiang Xuecheng walked quietly and carefully into the room, and Su Wan had already fallen asleep.
Her beautiful eyes were slightly closed, and there was no gloom on her pale face. She looked peaceful and quiet.
Jiang Xuecheng rubbed the space between his tired eyebrows. Seeing Su Wan’s obedient sleeping face, the irritation in his heart seemed to have been swept away.
Perhaps in his subconscious mind, wherever Su Wan was, it was his home.
No matter how many annoying things there were, as long as Su Wan was by his side, he felt that the world was stable and the days were peaceful.
Jiang Xuecheng walked towards Su Wan. He gently lifted the blanket and slowly crawled into it.
He gently and tyrannically pulled Su Wan into his embrace and planted a shallow kiss on Su Wan’s forehead.
“Good night, my girl.”
Su Wan seemed to feel the gentle touch on her forehead and rubbed against Jiang Xuecheng’s chest restlessly.
The corners of Jiang Xuecheng’s lips widened. He buried his head between Su Wan’s neck and took a sip of the clean and refreshing fragrance on Su Wan’s body. Then, he closed his eyes.
The two of them hugged each other and slept. Although they were in a completely unfamiliar place, they had no dreams that night and slept soundly.
…
The next day, the rain finally stopped. It was rare for the sun to shine brightly.
It was only the first light of dawn, but the horizon had already turned white. The light of the sun shone on the earth, as if it was a sign of peace.
When Su Wan woke up, she found that her side was already empty. Su Wan rubbed her sleepy face, put on her slippers, and walked to the window. She pulled open the thick cotton curtains.
The sun was clear outside, and the sky was blue.
Although Planet Aquamarine was poor, the ecology was good. There were forests everywhere, and there were rivers surrounding it. Looking further, one could see the blue water.
Even after experiencing the earthquake and the flood, Su Wan still felt that Planet Aquamarine was picturesque.
It was such a pity.
A cool breeze blew, blowing Su Wan’s long hair in all directions.
After Su Wan washed up, she quickly changed into a set of simple pants. Then, she ate with Jiang Xuecheng and went to a nearby school.
Perhaps it was because this place was too poor, so the schools were generally charity schools, which could be considered to reduce the burden of school fees.
Su Wan went to a charity school called “New Hope”.
It was a school that had both a primary school and a junior high school. It was located in Area A, so the collapse of the houses were not serious. In addition, the school had all the facilities. After the disaster, many students were transferred here.
After Su Wan went there, she felt that the situation here was indeed much better than in Area B. She saw that the children were eating well in the cafeteria.
Or perhaps it was because of Jiang Xuecheng’s surprise inspection yesterday, Executive Officer Lin had specially put in some extra effort on the surface.
On the campus, she could still see many children playing games.
But even so, Su Wan could still see that many children were unhappy in their hearts. There was no smile on their faces.
Su Wan found the relevant person-in-charge and asked when they were going to start classes again.
The person-in-charge said that the junior high school department had already started, but the primary school department was still closed, mainly organizing for the children to play.
Su Wan thought about it and volunteered to go to the primary school department to attend classes.
The so-called classes were actually similar to the children playing.
Su Wan organized twenty to thirty primary school students from the lower grades to go to the playground and tell them stories.
The morning breeze was still a little cool. Su Wan casually sat on the grass and let the children sit around her in a circle.
“Big Sister, what story are you going to tell?”
Su Wan thought for a moment and began to recall some fairy tales or folk legends she had read in elementary school. She told many stories, from “The Little Mermaid” to “The Magic Brush, Ma Liang”…
The breeze blew gently, and Su Wan’s voice was clear and distant.
The warm sunlight fell on Su Wan’s face. Her expression was quiet, and the smile on her lips seemed to carry an inexplicable power that made people feel at ease.
It turned out that Su Wan had some affinity with the children, and the children soon became fascinated.
After Su Wan told five or six stories, her mouth and tongue were a little dry.
Those young children could not help but hold the corner of Su Wan’s clothes and begged her to tell another story.
Facing those pairs of bright and clear eyes, Su Wan suddenly felt a trace of heartache.
She did not know why she felt that way.
Most of the children who could be in this charity school were left-behind children whose parents were not by their side all year round, or even orphans who had lost both their parents.
In a way, she was similar to them.
However, these children were lonelier than she was. At least, she had enjoyed the wonderful time of having her parents around for more than ten years.
Su Wan was a little tired from talking, but she could not bear to see them disappointed.
She suddenly stood up. She squinted her eyes and looked at the sunlight on the horizon. An idea suddenly came to her mind.
“Do you all want to fly kites?”
When Su Wan passed by the office of the person-in-charge, she saw a storage room filled with kites. Although most of them were covered in dust, it should be no problem for them to fly, right?
Su Wan had learned how to make and repair kites in her activity class before. As long as she had the tools, everything else wasn’t a problem.
“Great! I haven’t flown a kite for a long time!”
“I want to fly a kite too!”
When the children heard Su Wan’s suggestion, they stood up happily and surrounded Su Wan as they walked towards the storage room.
However, before they took two steps, a tall man suddenly appeared in front of Su Wan’s eyes.
It was Jiang Xuecheng.
Why did he come?
