Chapter 607 Holy Land

Xia Ling lowered her head and slowly touched the gilded words with her slender fingertips.

How many years has it been...

Years of turbulent times have passed, but that first encounter is still as clearly imprinted in my heart as the first encounter, and I will never forget it even in this lifetime.

She turned around, raised her head, and looked at the small building not far away. On the second floor is the dean's office. The entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows welcomes the sunlight. Behind the windows is a spacious and quiet space with no one around.

The tall and handsome man who looked like a god appeared in her mind.

That day, he stood silently behind the floor-to-ceiling window, wearing a tight-fitting black suit, overlooking and examining her. Her feet were pierced by nails, and there was a pursuer behind her. She only glanced at him, and then fled away in embarrassment. However, that sudden glimpse became a curse for two lives.

——Xiao Ling, let’s go home with me.

Today, things are different and people are different.

The person who said that is no longer around.

She looked back and said in a very soft voice: "It's all over." Let time bury everything. All the glue-like love and cruel blood are condensed into a little cinnabar in the bottom of her heart. Occasionally it will throb and hurt, but it is only That’s all.

She turned around and left here.

Li Lei put his hands in his pockets and did not follow her pace immediately. He did not walk slowly step by step until he watched her figure disappear into the depths of the path covered with iris flowers.

He was going in the opposite direction to her.

"How much will it cost to remove the monument where Pei Ziheng and Xia Ling met?" In the dean's office, Li Lei asked the old dean straight to the point.

The old director was surprised: "Why do you want to get rid of it?" It is not easy to generate income in the orphanage, so it is difficult to take advantage of the celebrity effect. The place where Pei Ziheng and Xia Ling first met is a popular attraction. Every year, many fans go there to take photos and spread the praises. There are stories about a thousand-mile horse meeting Bole.

Li Lei didn't explain much and just asked: "How much is it?"

"Mr. Li, this is not a matter of money," the old dean trembled, looking at Li Lei earnestly with a wrinkled face, "This stone tablet is not just about generating income for the orphanage, it also carries the children. Our hope - all the children here dream of one day being as lucky as Xia Ling, meeting a rich adopter who loves them, and starting a new life. Mr. Li, you cannot deprive the children of their hope."

Li Lei was speechless. Why would it be so troublesome to remove a stone tablet?

However, if it is not removed, what should he do with the thorn in his heart?

The old dean walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and pointed downstairs: "Mr. Li, look, the child is whispering to the stone tablet. Her name is Xiaofeng, she suffers from spinocerebellar degeneration, and her condition is getting worse every day. She couldn't live for a few more years... It was very likely that she would never be adopted and die in the orphanage. However, she did not give up hope. She was eager for a miracle every day, hoping that she could be like Mr. Pei Ziheng. The savior descended from the sky and took her away just like he did with Xia Ling and Xia Yu who was seriously ill and on the verge of death. This stone tablet is her only hope. Mr. Li, we will not take away the child's only hope."

The old dean looked at him carefully and worriedly.

The old dean is old and has seen many people in the orphanage, and he knows deeply that these powerful people are not as kind as they appear on the surface. Although he didn't know why Mr. Li in front of him wanted to remove the monument, he knew that these powerful people might use any means to achieve their goals.

He was worried.

Li Lei saw the uneasiness of the old director and said very gently: "Old man, don't be afraid, I will not harm this orphanage." This is the place where Xiao Ling was given shelter. Judging from Xiao Ling's words and deeds, I have a lot of respect for this old dean, and I think he received a lot of kindness back then.

How could he be detrimental to Xiao Ling's benefactor? ...Well, except Pei Ziheng.

He comforted the old dean and thought for a while, "How about this? I will pay to renovate this monument and turn it into a monument forest - to bring together every child who walks out of here and their adopted children." People’s names are engraved on it, wouldn’t there be more hope in this way?”

The old dean didn't expect him to say this. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Okay."

This is indeed a good idea. Let the children see how many happy families have come out of here, so that they can be full of hope during the long waiting years.

However, why did Mr. Li in front of him do this?

The old dean could feel that the separate monuments of Pei Ziheng and Xia Ling might be an eyesore to him. However, how could someone who could not be hit with eight sticks be an eyesore to Mr. Li? The old dean was puzzled.

Li Lei got the old dean's permission and left the dean's office in a good mood.

Although the stone tablet still cannot be revoked, it can minimize Pei Ziheng's specialness - from now on, Pei Ziheng is just an ordinary one among the thousands of adoptees in the orphanage. There is no difference between people, but what is the place where we first meet?

It's been a year and a half, who still remembers, hahaha.

He hummed a tune happily and came out to find Xia Ling.

Xia Ling was completely unaware of what he had just done behind her back. At this moment, she was sitting on the bluestone steps under the corridor of the classroom, teaching children to sing nursery rhymes.

The green shade of midsummer is verdant.

Her singing is more pleasant than this summer season.

Li Lei stood by the moon cave door and listened quietly, looking at the girl's beautiful and calm profile, and suddenly he sincerely thanked Pei Ziheng - thank you for not cherishing her, thank you for letting me get a big deal.

He really wanted to open Moments and give Mr. Pei Ziheng 32 likes.

After staying in the orphanage for a whole day, Xia Ling bid farewell to the children and followed Li Lei back to the city. Li Lei drove her home and said to her: "If you want to see them in the future, I will take you there again."

She said yes with a shallow smile, and kissed him goodbye at the gate of the fence.

Not far away, there is another villa. There is a man standing in an inconspicuous place on the terrace. He is holding on to the railing as white as jade and looking at the two people kissing expressionlessly. His fingers are tightened and the veins on the back of his hands are exposed. .

"Sir..." Zhou's mother didn't dare to dissuade her, but she still had to bite the bullet and said, "Go in, you have been standing here for most of the day. The wind is strong and it is easy to catch a cold." The news said that Miss Ye and Tianyi Today's big boss Li Lei went to charity together, to the orphanage where Mr. Xia Ling was adopted by Mr. Xia Ling. So, the husband didn't know what kind of madness he had, he insisted on guarding on the balcony, waiting for Miss Ye's return.

Zhou Ma didn't understand what he was waiting for.

Even Pei Ziheng himself didn't understand. His little Ling, what happened to taking another man to the place where they first met? Did she forget that she once said...

She said it was a holy place, a holy place that belonged only to the two of them.
