The social welfare organization for children that Shang Ke and Feng Juan had entered was located on the southwest coast of the UK. Including them, there were twenty-one orphans. Although the residence's conditions were normal, it had all the necessary facilities. Not only were there specialized nurses, but there were also psychiatrists and social workers who periodically came to check on the orphans' living circumstances.

Shang Ke and Feng Juan's circumstances were particularly special as they had been illegally kidnapped abroad and their identities were not confirmed. They would not be able to enter the adoption system for a year. In other words, they could only live in the orphanage for a year, and even if someone wanted to adopt them, they could only wait until the next year.

A large portion of the orphans within the orphanage were disabled to some degree. As two healthy and attractive boys, Shang Ke and Feng Juan were like cranes in a flock of chicken.

The dean gave them a small room, with four beds along with sets of sheets . Only two of the beds had their sheets done, while the other two were empty.

"Children, this will be your room. Do you two like it?" the dean said to Shang Ke and Feng Juan with a smile.

Feng Juan held Shang Ke's hand, his face stiff as he remained mute.

Shang Ke raised his head and smiled at her, saying, "We like it a lot. Thank you dean."

He had spoken in Chinese, and although the dean didn't understand his words, she roughly understood his meaning.

After she had them settled in, she spoke a few words before leaving.

Shang Ke pulled Feng Juan into the room and closed the door behind them. He turned around and smiled at him. "We will live here from now on."

Feng Juan watched as he set his bookbag by the bed, before spreading out on the bed. His relaxed appearance dissipated much of his uneasy mood.

Feng Juan laid down beside Shang Ke, tilting his head to gaze at his smile. He felt that, so long as he accompanied Shang Ke, there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Keke, can I sleep with you at night?" Feng Juan looked at the bed on the opposite side of the room with some loathing.

"Alright." Shang Ke spread out his arms to check the width of the bed and laughed. "This bed is large enough for the two of us to sleep together."

A large smile immediately bloomed on Feng Juan's face.

Shang Ke couldn't resist the urge and pinched his cheeks, praising, "Not bad. Smile more often, or your face will become stuck."

With his three worlds of experience, he felt that the reason why this guy became a cold face Yama was because of his facial muscles' lack of use in his childhood.

Feng Juan gave Shang Ke a glance before turning his head away, no longer paying attention to him.

That night, Feng Juan got into Shang Ke' bedsheets right after washing up. The two of them stuck close together, and their first night at the orphanage passed smoothly.

Their life at the orphanage wasn't as dry and dull as they had imagined.

Because of the language barrier, the dean arranged another teacher to teach them English in addition to their regular lessons. This teacher's name was Rima, a woman of over forty. She wasn't one of the orphanage's staff members, but a volunteer.
