Chapter 530
With nothing particular to do at noon, she turned on the TV to watch.
Today was November 20th, International Children’s Day.
An Ruo just caught a channel broadcasting about the holiday; International Children’s Day aims to protect children and focus on issues related to their education and health.
In the footage, a famous star was performing at the welfare institution and then raising funds for it.
An Ruo recognized that the welfare institution looked familiar and immediately realized it was the same one she had visited yesterday.
There are two welfare institutions in J City, one is quite affluent, and the other is the ’Sunshine Orphanage’ she visited yesterday. However, the conditions at Sunshine Orphanage are poor, so it needs more support.
Seeing the innocent and pitiable faces of the children on TV, An Ruo’s sympathy overflowed instantly.
It was at this moment that the Director appeared on screen holding Kangkang.
He introduced the child in his arms to the audience, saying that Kangkang was a child with autism. Abandoned by his parents from a young age, he had always lived in his own world, never paying any attention to this one, his world consisting only of himself, devoid of any color…
The Director was saying something else, but An Ruo didn’t know what; she was only focused on Kangkang.
The little guy was quietly playing with his fingers, not lifting his head to glance at the dazzling flashlights in front of him.
Such a pitiful child…
“Miss An, what are you watching?” Aunt Zhou suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
“… Watching TV.”
“This child is so cute, with such big, watery eyes,” Aunt Zhou commented with adoration as she watched Kangkang.
Hearing her praise Kangkang made An Ruo feel a peculiar sense of pride.
“Yes, he is very cute.”
Aunt Zhou glanced at her, then back at Kangkang, and smiled, “How come I find that he looks a bit like you?”
“Ah?” She was startled as Aunt Zhou said, “Really, you resemble each other, look, your eyes are similar.”
She looked and thought it seemed to be the case.
“He must look a lot like Xiao Ji,” An Ruo concluded.
“Is Xiao Ji Miss An’s younger brother? I haven’t met him, so I don’t know what he looks like.”
An Ruo hurried to find an old photo of Xiao Ji as a child, a little blurry, though that didn’t hinder viewing it.
She showed it to Aunt Zhou, who nodded vigorously, “Yes, they do look alike.”
An Ruo immediately smiled, “They really do, don’t they?”
Aunt Zhou added, “You and your brother also look alike.”
Well, that was stating the obvious; of course, they looked alike, they were siblings.
An Ruo sat on the sofa, staring affectionately at Xiao Ji’s photo, the longer she looked, the more she felt Kangkang resembled him.
If Xiao Ji weren’t just seventeen, she would certainly suspect that Kangkang was his child.
Because she hadn’t seen Xiao Ji for a long time, An Ruo missed him very much, and that made her all the fonder of Kangkang.
She might as well visit him tomorrow, and also check on how his wound was healing.
When she was having dinner with Tang Yuchen, she casually mentioned her plan to visit the orphanage the next day.
The man said, “I’ll accompany you for the visit.”
“No need, I’m just going to see the children there, and you’re busy with work. You don’t need to come along,” she said indifferently, also aware that he didn’t like to spend his time on things he considered meaningless.
Tang Yuchen didn’t insist. If she didn’t want his company, he wouldn’t go.
He thought that she didn’t want to share the joy of interacting with the children with him because she was reminded of their own child who had passed away.
