Xuxu left the house in bright-colored clothes that morning . When it was time to knock off, she carried her bag and left the office together with her colleagues .
She didn't bid goodbye to Yan Rusheng .
Xuxu left the office after estimating the traveling time she required during peak traffic hours . She arrived at the theatre just in time for admission .
With the admission ticket on her hand, and instead of entering the theatre together with the crowd, she went backstage to visit the kids from the orphanage . They were in the midst of putting on makeup and preparing to take center stage later .
According to Matron Huang, the performers that night were mostly children from various welfare organizations, along with a few famous celebrities . A charity auction will also take place .
All organizations who will perform will receive a donation of 10,000 yuan .

Xuxu found her way to the makeup room for Tiny Stars Orphanage . Before she could even open the door, she could already hear laughter and giggles coming from the room .
Without her realizing it, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up . She opened the door with a gentle push, and instead of going in, she stood at the door to gaze at the little fellows .
She found little Huanhuan among the crowd . The little girl stood out with her red princess dress and her neatly braided hair . On her forehead was a star-shaped tattoo, too . She simply looked adorable with her chubby face .
This little girl was turning 4 soon . She hadn't seen her for several days, and she seemed to have grown taller . Do kids at this age grow especially fast?
Xuxu leaned against the door frame . She fixed her eyes on little Huanhuan's face as she was lost in her own thoughts .
"Xu…" Matron Huang was about to call out to her when she happened to turn around and caught sight of Xuxu .

Xuxu immediately placed her index finger against her lips . "Shhh!"
Even though the children knew that she was coming, she still wanted to create an element of a surprise for them .
She made an eye signal to Matron Huang and then closed the door .
"Matron, why isn't Sister Xuxu here yet?"
"She will definitely be here . Perhaps you'll be able to spot her when you go on the stage later . "
"Really?"
There was a long pause…
Xuxu leaned across the door and overheard the conversation between the matron and the children . The children's clear and innocent voices were infectious that Xuxu's lips broke into a mischievous smile without her knowing .
With the admission ticket in her hand, she entered the dimly lit theatre . She found her seat number and sat down .
It amazed her that the huge theater was packed with an audience to the brim .
She sat at the second raw, almost near the stage . She had forked out a hefty price just to get a good seat so she could surprise the children with her presence when they take the stage .
When the event organizer drew the curtain open, it had signaled the start of the performance .
Hope Primary School, a school located in a remote village, was the first to perform . They were all girls and stood in two rows as they sang their local folk song .
The girls' age were ranged from 5 to over 10 years old . Their voices resembled the melodious chirping of the mountainous lark, so pure and crystal clear .
Xuxu patiently watched every performance from her seat .
…
The kitchen to his new home was tiny, and Yan Rusheng's towering figure made it appear cramped . He stood in front of the stove holding a pot cover with one hand and sampling the double-boiled soup with a spoon using the other hand .
He was pleased with the taste . He shifted his gaze to the laptop beside him . "The taste is just right . Do I need to turn off the fire?"
A beautiful lady appeared on the laptop screen . She was dressed in silky purple pajamas and leaned lazily on her bed headboard . When she heard Yan Rusheng's query, she knitted her eyebrows and affectionately chided him, "Stupid son . Be more patient . You need to double-boil the soup longer to make it tastier . "
