The demon master was beaten up

Chapter 180 Left-behind children

When the sun shines on the school playground, the children's clear and melodious shouts resound throughout the campus: "Sister Nini! Sister Dandan! Sister Xingxing! Brother Qianyi! Uncle Mo! Uncle Lu!" These energetic voices seem to awaken the sleeping earth.

However, hearing him called "uncle" didn't sit well with Lu Wenjie. He put his hands on his hips and shouted in a defiant tone, "Hey, you little brats! Stop yelling! I'm also your brother, okay? How can I be called an uncle? Do I look that old?" He said this while deliberately putting on a youthful and handsome look, which made the children burst into laughter.

On the sunny playground, Principal Zeng shouted with a smile on his face, "Dear children! Come quickly and line up to receive your clothes and shoes! These are brand new clothes specially given to you by your kind Brother Lu!"

Hearing the call, the children came running like a group of cheerful little birds, shouting excitedly as they ran: "Thank you, Brother Lu! Wow! That's great! We finally have new clothes to wear!" Their innocent and lovely little faces were filled with joy that was difficult to conceal.

Soon, all the clothes and shoes were distributed to every child. Seeing the children happily trying on their new clothes and shoes, Principal Zeng and the student union members were filled with joy and warmth.

Then, they led this group of innocent children to play various interesting games. They laughed, ran, played and fought together, and the whole playground instantly became a sea of ​​joy.

After playing, everyone gathered together, and the student council members began to vividly tell the children interesting stories from around the world. From the mysterious African savannah to the romantic European castles, to the vast American continent... Each story seemed to open a door to an unknown world, leaving the children mesmerized.

Furthermore, they described to the children the wonderful world outside that they yearned for so much. There, tall buildings stood in rows, traffic was bustling, there were rich cultural activities, and advanced and convenient scientific and technological achievements. The children listened intently, their eyes wide open, their hearts filled with longing and anticipation for a better future.

Just yesterday, Principal Zeng had already discussed the situation of these children with the student union members. He solemnly said, "Most of these children in our school are pitiful left-behind children. They've long lacked parental love and companionship, and their living conditions are difficult. Therefore, we must not only strive to teach them knowledge, but more importantly, provide them with ample care and love!" These words deeply touched the hearts of every student union member present, and everyone pledged to do their utmost to help these children grow up healthily and happily.

According to the original itinerary, everyone should have set off on the return journey in the afternoon, but due to the children's unbreakable attachment, the entire team had to postpone the return time again and again. So, when they finally started to return, the sunset was already slowly sinking towards the west.

As the bus sped along the winding road, night fell silently over the land like a massive, thick black curtain. The sky, which had once held a glimmer of afterglow, gradually dimmed until it was completely swallowed by darkness.

Sitting by the window, Bai Nini's heart was heavy. She silently gazed at the fleeting nightscape outside, her thoughts drifting back to her own childhood. Having lost both her parents at a young age, she endured the torment of loneliness and solitude for those long years. Therefore, she possessed an extraordinary understanding of the deep-seated longing for family and care felt by these other left-behind children.

The night deepened, like a boundless black hole, swallowing everything around it. Just then, Bai Nini's phone rang crisply, shattering the quiet atmosphere in the car. She pulled out her phone and saw it was her friend Luo Shuya calling. After briefly inquiring about the situation, Luo Shuya concernedly reminded Bai Nini to remember to dress warmly, as the night air was quite chilly.

Not long after she hung up, a pleasant ringtone rang again. It turned out to be a video call from Qin Nuo. Bai Nini pressed the answer button without hesitation, and Qin Nuo's handsome yet slightly worried face immediately appeared on the other side of the screen.

Bai Nini was still sitting upright on the bus, the streetlights shining through the window onto her slightly tired face. Qin Nuo's heart tightened upon seeing this, and he quickly asked, "It's so late, why haven't you returned home yet?" His tone was filled with concern and anxiety.

Bai Nini raised her head slightly, smiled gently at the camera, and then replied softly: "Today we all spent more time with those lovely children." However, although she tried to make her voice sound light and cheerful, Qin Nuo, based on his understanding of her, keenly noticed that she did not seem to be in a very good mood.

So, Qin Nuo frowned, stared at Bai Nini, and continued to ask: "Nini, I feel like you don't seem very happy. Did something happen?"

Hearing this, Bai Nini slowly lowered her eyes, her long lashes hiding the flash of sadness in them. After a moment's silence, she raised her head again, gently shook her head at the phone screen, and said, "Nothing special really happened. Overall, this event went very smoothly. It's just..." At this point, Bai Nini paused, as if thinking about how to organize her words.

After a while, she finally mustered up the courage to continue, "When I see those parents in the mountainous areas who have to leave their hometowns to work elsewhere to earn money to support their families due to life pressures, and thus have no choice but to leave their young children at home, I can't help but feel sad. These children who should have grown up happily in the warm arms of their parents have now become left-behind children who lack love, are lonely and helpless. We can impart knowledge to them, but no matter what, we can't replace the kind of meticulous care and companionship given to them by their biological parents!" After saying this, Bai Nini's eyes were slightly red.
