Chapter 8

The DM's actions sounded an alarm for this group of overconfident newcomers. Wang Zhe thought of something, and he shook like a sieve.

His lips were white, and the bloodstains on his face were dry, but he seemed to have no feeling at all.

"I... I also called your names yesterday."

"It's okay."

Su Mian had already calmed down, "You are making a mistake for the first time."

She was the same.

Su Mian lowered her eyelids, secretly regretting how she was so afraid just now.

A player who makes a mistake for the first time will not be punished, just like Zhou Yichen's rude confrontation with the Director, he only saw terrible illusions.

As for why he wanted to scare her, Su Mian closed her eyes and frowned, her fingertips rubbing her temples lightly.

Just pure bad taste...

––

The first discussion ended unhappily like this. Yu Maomao dragged the unconscious Zhou Yichen back to the dormitory. Su Mian had no clue for the time being and planned to do the tasks in the script first.

"I want to collect your emotion, can I?"

The child put down the chopsticks and smiled at her.

"Okay."

Su Mian was a bit surprised. A ball of black stuff condensed in the jar in her hand.

It was "sad."

So simple?

In order not to violate the character setting, Su Mian tried her best to find boys to do tasks.

But soon she found that these children agreed to her request very easily, but all the emotions collected were always "sad."

"Mi Guo, I don't have time to accompany you to play, today is an important day."

Su Mian raised her eyebrows and grabbed the child who finished eating.

"What important day?"

"Today is the 26th. On the 26th of every month, uncles and aunts will come here to pick up a little friend."

Today is the 26th?

The date on Guan Xiaoxiao's jade plaque is also the 26th.

Su Mian took out the jade pendant from her pocket and shook it in front of the child.

"Do you recognize this?"

The child looked at it for a while, shook his head, and his expression was a bit impatient.

"Mi Guo, you are so annoying, delaying my time to dress up. I think you don't want me to be picked up!"

Su Mian touched her nose in embarrassment and put the jade plaque into her pocket.

"Qiu Ni! Hurry up, a beautiful aunt came outside!"

As the shout fell, all the children in the cafeteria were like firecrackers ignited, dropped their bowls and chopsticks and rushed out, excitedly discussing excitedly.

"Will she become my mother?"

"I can swallow a hornet's nest in one bite! Auntie will definitely like me!"

"Nonsense, I can punch my own head until it's dented, she will definitely choose me."

Su Mian put her hands in her pockets and followed the crowd slowly.

A black car was parked at the entrance of the orphanage, and the DM in front of the gate was exchanging pleasantries with a gorgeously dressed couple.

All the children were crowding at the window to look, except for Su Mian, the remaining three also rushed over.

Yu Maomao's eyes widened the moment she saw the couple, a flash of fluster in her eyes.

Su Mian looked fixedly at the woman's neck, where there was a jade pendant exactly the same as the one in Su Mian's pocket.

Not long after, the three began to walk inside, and the children who longed for a happy family screamed excitedly, hitting the windows, unable to wait to crowd up.

The DM raised his arm, signaling everyone to be quiet. They hurriedly covered their mouths, but their eyes were wide open, trying to attract the couple's attention.

"Mylady, I know last night might have been a bit too much. As compensation, everything will be up to you today, okay?"

The man held her hand and walked inside. He was round in the waist and deliberately lowered his voice when speaking.

The woman patted his face angrily, but her expression carried the ambiguity of flirting.

"When should you not listen to me? I..."

The woman's voice stopped.

A girl wearing overalls and a side braid blocked them. The woman thought she was also a child eager to be chosen, so she looked her up and down.

She is quite good-looking, but these thin eyebrows and light lips make her look sickly, as if she would fall if the wind blew.

So she waved her hand, intending to bypass, but Su Mian called her.

"Mrs. Guan."

The woman's footsteps paused, and she frowned and looked back.

"How do you know... my husband's surname is Guan?"

Su Mian's lips hooked into a faint smile. Her face was already gentle, and at this moment, she looked even more harmless.

"Let's talk in private."

As the words fell, Mrs. Guan giggled, "You child, why do you talk like a little adult."

Su Mian looked at the DM, trying to pull up the corners of her mouth to return a shy smile, but to be honest, she couldn't do anything other than sneer.

The DM tilted his head, seeing her stiff smile, and felt it was very dull for no reason.

"Isn't it a bit late to ask me now, Mi Guo."

"But if you didn't agree, you would have stopped me just now."

Su Mian put away her expression. Her quirky personality made Mrs. Guan look at her a few more times.

This eloquent little mouth looked quite pleasing.

Sickly, wouldn't she be fine after being raised well?

"Director..."

Su Mian added another sentence, the tail sound dragging a bit long, carrying a hint of coquetry.

The DM's fingers moved slightly, and he moved his gaze away before speaking half-heartedly, "There is a lounge on the top floor, go there and talk."

The goal was achieved. Su Mian immediately restrained her expression and followed the three people with a calm expression.

"Ah! I should be as brave as Mi Guo!"

The children behind the window secretly regretted.

"Woooo my new home."

"Forget it, if you also rushed up, the Director would have twisted your head off long ago!"

"But why wasn't Mi Guo dragged back?"

As the words fell, the child who retorted couldn't explain it either, muttered for a long time and closed his mouth.

Wang Zhe looked at the figure disappearing at the end of the stairs, looking a bit worshipful, "Hey, we can only rely on Mi Guo to carry us."

"What are you thinking? Lin Xiaofan is still lying in the medical room, isn't it because of her?!"

Yu Maomao suddenly spoke, her sharp voice sounding a bit abrupt.

Wang Zhe frowned and left with Wen Zirui.

Stupid love brain.

Only Yu Maomao was left in front of the window, looking at the two people walking away with her peripheral vision.

She hurriedly took out the script from her pocket and looked at it, as if to confirm something.

––

"Caw caw—"

Crows swarmed, sweeping past the blinds, black shadows surging over, their bodies hitting the window.

Feathers and bloodstains were smeared on the glass.

Su Mian held her breath, frowned, and withdrew her gaze.

Crows hitting the window and dying is a very ominous omen.

Disaster is approaching, danger is knocking on the door.

She pursed her lips lightly.

Intuition told Su Mian that the so-called Sunshine Orphanage is actually hidden on the back of the sun, with countless orphan grievances shrouded in the shadows.

"Child, what exactly do you want to tell us?"

Mrs. Guan sipped her tea and found the girl's expression was heavy.

Su Mian returned to her senses. She took out the jade plaque from her pocket, "I don't know if you recognize this."

Seeing the jade plaque, the woman's face changed, but she soon returned to normal.

"Xiaoxiao..."

A trace of regret flashed in her eyes, "What happened to her?"

"She died."
