There was a knock on the door. Gu Yicheng asked, “Is An An up? Dad will take you back to pack your luggage.”
An An stretched and hugged her mother’s arm with her little hand: “Mom, let’s go together.”
Mo Sui would join the crew soon.
Although the filming location was in Beicheng, a movie would take at least two or three months to shoot. By then, she probably wouldn’t be able to accompany An An every day.
While there was still time now, she wanted to spend more time with the little one.
After the family of three packed up, they set off for the orphanage.
When An An arrived, the children were doing handicrafts in the activity room.
Dean Wang touched her hair, feeling a little reluctant: “An An is going home with her parents. Go and say goodbye to the other kids.”
The little dumpling walked into the activity room and said goodbye to the other children.
The children in the activity room were not yet of school age. Although they were ignorant, they had seen other children being picked up by new parents, so they had gotten used to it.
But among them, a child named Yuan Yuan looked particularly depressed.
Yuan Yuan was An An’s best friend in the orphanage. She ran over to comfort her friend.
“An An, why don’t any parents like me?”
An An tilted her head and said softly: “There will be.”
“But the teacher said that I talk too much. Children who talk a lot are annoying, aren’t they?”
An An remembered the picture book that her father had read to her.
She also asked her father if no one liked a coward who didn’t dare to speak or sing loudly.
Now, Yuan Yuan’s mood should be similar.
The little dumpling recalled his father’s answer: “As long as you are a brave and kind child, someone will like you.”
Yuan Yuan blinked: “Will someone like a chatterbox?”
An An remembered that her father said that she was not a coward but just good at observation.
She confidently comforted Yuan Yuan: “Yuan Yuan is not a chatterbox. She is just good at expressing herself!”
When Yuan Yuan heard this, her eyebrows relaxed and she smiled with relief.
An An said goodbye to every child. When she was about to leave, she remembered her birthday present that she had not opened yet.
It was given by the program team during the collective birthday.
She found the gift in the suitcase and ran to find the caretaker teacher for help.
The caretaker teacher used scissors to open the wrapping paper for An An.
The box was opened. An An stood on tiptoe to look.
There were many lollipops inside.
The caretaker teacher was about to ask An An to keep her voice down so that other children wouldn’t see it, but who knew that the little girl had already taken out a lollipop.
“Can I treat everyone?” She asked in a baby voice.
The caretaker teacher was startled and couldn’t help laughing: “Are you so generous, kid?”
An An said embarrassedly: “The teacher said that we should share.”
With the teacher’s permission, An An took the lollipop and shared it with other children.
No child could resist the temptation of candy. The older children opened the candy wrappers themselves and then helped other children open them.
The children in the activity classroom each had a lollipop in their hands and ate it with relish.
Yuan Yuan couldn’t bear to leave her good friend. When she waved goodbye, she lowered her head and licked a delicious candy.
The candy was so sweet!

After coming out of the orphanage, Cen Yanjun held An An’s little hand tightly.
It was already late when she came to pick up the child yesterday. In order to let the little girl had a good sleep, she could only watch the couple take the child away from under her nose.
But it’s different now. It was early in the morning, so Cen Yanjun still had plenty of time to let An An play with her.
