The canteen of the orphanage is right next to the playground. Several large trucks came in, and some children ran out to watch the excitement.

Yan Heqing was peeling apples for the children. He didn't raise his eyes slightly until the faint sound of voices came from the cafeteria door.

It was dark outside, the incandescent lights in the cafeteria were bright, and the two doors of the cafeteria were like the boundary between morning and dusk.

The moment he saw Lu Lin push the door open and his figure change from blurry to clear, Yan Heqing knew that his plan was beginning to succeed.

He lowered his head, and a small smooth apple appeared on his fingertips. He handed it to the little girl who was waiting eagerly. He looked straight at her, his eyebrows curved into a crescent shape, "Eat it."

The little girl took the apple and politely said "Thank you, brother" before happily nibbling on the apple.

Yan Heqing gathered the apple peel and was about to stand up when a pair of shiny black leather shoes approached and broke into his field of vision.

He looked up, and the tall figure blocked the light above his head. The man's face was a little blurry, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted Yan Heqing's gaze. The dean stepped forward quickly. When he saw Yan Heqing, he didn't see the person clearly. He was wearing a staff coat anyway. The dean said directly: "Quickly prepare a breakfast for Mr. Lu."

Yan Heqing stood up, nodded politely to Lu Lin as a greeting, and then turned back to the window.

Lu Lin's dark eyes were slightly focused. There was a band-aid under Yan Heqing's right eye. Was he injured?

The dean looked around the canteen and found a suitable location. He invited Lu Lin to go over and said, "Mr. Lu, go sit over there."

Lu Lin withdrew his gaze and followed the dean to the dining table.

Yan Heqing returned to the window and saw Xu Qiaoyin squatting under the table with a panicked expression. She recognized Lu Lin.

When their eyes met, Xu Qiaoyin saw Yan Heqing with an embarrassed look on her face and lowered her head with a guilty conscience. Yan Heqing pretended not to see her and went straight to the dining table to get breakfast.

Just like what was given to the children, the dinner plate contained fried dough sticks, meat buns, and an apple, but the measurements were for adults. Two more bowls of porridge were placed on the plate where the bowls were placed. Two pairs of chopsticks were placed on both hands. Each carried a dinner plate and delivered it to the table in front.

It's below zero today, and there is no air conditioning or heating in the canteen. The porridge that was still hot a moment ago became much colder in the blink of an eye.

The dean's eyes widened. He scolded Yan Heqing in a low voice, "Why are you bringing something like this up? Please ask the kitchen to cook another bowl of noodles with more meat."

Lu Lin said, "Just be like everyone else, no need to be special."

The dean nodded with a smile, "Yes, but it's your first time coming to the cafeteria to eat. Logically speaking, you should be treated to a good meal. Look at this..."

The dean was also a little helpless, "The weather is cold, and hot food becomes cold food. What if you have a bad stomach?"

Lu Lin looked at Yan Heqing from the corner of his eye. The band-aid didn't look like a new one, it was an old wound. He immediately looked at the dean and said, "The air conditioners will arrive soon. According to the data you provided, there are four in the cafeteria."
