The little girl stopped crying and turned around to look at Chen Ge with a blank expression. Her palm-size face was covered with tears, and her eyes were red with a layer of mist. The girl’s pitiable eyes could melt anything. Even the cruelest person would let their guard down in her vicinity. The nurse could not help herself anymore. She picked up the little girl and pressed her face to the girl’s head, patting her lightly on her back.

If the picture was just of the nurse and the two children, it would have been nice. It was like an older sister looking after two younger siblings with all her might. Even though things were tough and difficult, life was blissful with family around. However, the image turned curious after adding Chen Ge into the picture.

Chen Ge stood at the door with his muscle all tensed. It was like he was stranded alone in the jungle, and a monster was eyeing him from the dark.According to the ratio on Fan Yu’s picture, the monster is about three times the size of a normal man.

Knowing Fan Yu, Chen Ge had long realized that the boy’s eyes could see ghosts. In other words, this meant that the spider in Fan Yu’s picture was really standing behind him!

His finger hung over the recorder, and veins popped on his arm. Before he arrived, Chen Ge did not expect that he would run into a monster at this heart-warming children’s home.

“Fan Yu looks like he has a good relationship with the girl, and Fan Yu knows me. Does this mean that I’m also a friend of the girl?” Chen Ge grumbled to himself at the door. He kept his voice low, just enough to be heard if there was someone behind him.

“Stop crying, big sister left already. We’ll go find her tomorrow.” Fan Yu tussled the girl’s hair. He was especially kind to her.

“Okay.” The girl rubbed her reddened eyes and struggled loose from the nurse. She sat on the little chair in the bedroom unwillingly and still held the spider’s body in her hands; she refused to throw it away.

When Fan Yu said that the girl’s sister had left, Chen Ge sighed in relief. He walked into the room and picked up the broom to sweep the glass to the corner.

Standing in the middle, the nurse felt awkward, like she had been ignored.

“Mr. Chen, let me.” The nurse swept the glass pieces into a dustpan and very naturally pulled Chen Ge out of the room.

“You’ve seen the situation for yourself.” The nurse’s voice was filled with helplessness. “I was the one who took care of Jiang Ling after she was sent here. It has been almost six months already. She used to call me mother and wouldn’t leave my side. She was just like a little angel, but ever since Fan Yu arrived, everything changed. She follows behind him every day and only listens to him—no one else.”

“Why do I hear envy in your complaint?” Chen Ge leaned against the wall. He had a good impression of this Children’s Home; they were doing good work.

“I’m not!” The nurse glared at Chen Ge. “If Jiang Ling was playing with other kids, of course, I wouldn’t stop her, but Fan Yu is the only exception. You’ve seen those things that he draws. Do you think it’s appropriate a six-year-old girl to see those drawings every day?”
