Chapter 17 - 016: Evidence of the Date
Familiar artificial mountains and rocks, with sprinklers spraying in the pool; the little pavilion in the impression has been covered with grapevines; that big locust tree has long since withered, replaced by a large coconut tree; the windmill that used to circle the children is now rusted, losing its former glory.
This is the East Sea Tianhe Orphanage.
Before Yang Tian turned ten, he lived here, cried here, laughed here, and fought here.
Yang Tian and Xie Gan’en followed the old grandmother, walking into the orphanage. Along the way, the elderly grandmother held Yang Tian’s hand, pointing at the equipment and arrangements in the orphanage, making careful comparisons, talking about the changes after Yang Tian left, and the departures of people: "Danqing, who was close to you when you were little, has already moved to the north for college... That big bully, Wang, became a chef... Master Ning, who took special care of you, died not long after you left..."
Everything felt both familiar and strange.
In the orphanage’s office, the old director instructed someone to fetch Yang Tian’s documents, which were then spread out on the table. She smiled and said, "Tian, these are your documents. The orphanage makes a comprehensive introduction for each orphan, recording everything that can be discovered."
"Hmm."
Yang Tian quickly picked up the document booklet, which had only a few pages. He opened the first page and saw his life introduction, immediately noticing his mother’s name, Meng Bingyun.
Meng Bingyun, what a beautiful name!
"Your mother, Meng Bingyun, was a prominent figure in East Sea University City back then, a top student at Fudan University. Because of her beauty and talent, she was hailed as the number one beauty in the East Sea University City. At that time, your mother stood out in various large competitions in the university, ranging from literature and art, sports, to intellectual contests. Due to her nearly perfect appearance, she was titled a goddess by male students in the university. Whether handsome rich kids or special students, they all pursued her!" The old director eagerly recounted Yang Tian’s mother’s story.
