The auction was still ongoing, but by this time Huang Dezheng and Su Yibai had long lost their good mood at the beginning, one face was purple and the other was pale.
"Teacher…" Su Yibai's tears in his eyes were ready to fall and his face full of guilt and panic. He looked helpless that one could not help but feel pity.
There were people around, Huang Dezheng bit his teeth desperately to resist the urge to push away his face and sighed. He squeezed out a stiff smile, grabbing Su Yibai's hand and comforting: "It doesn't matter, we are here to do good!"
"You… You don't you blame me?" Su Yibai choked with tears and his heart was touched as he became moved and found it unbelievable. He wanted to cry pitifully.
The words have already been said, at this time blaming him for his stupidity was meaningless so it would be better instead to further improve his image and make him fall in love with himself more deeply!
Thinking of this, the smile on Huang Dezheng's face finally became a bit more natural. He gently reached out and wiped off the tears, and said distressed, "Silly child! How can I blame you? You didn't do anything wrong."
"Teacher…" Su Yibai was moved and started to cry and laugh into Huang Dezheng's arms, completely forgetting their surroundings.
As his heart became more and more steeled, Huang Dezheng rarely cared about the opinions of outsiders. He smiled and patted the thin back of his lover, saying, "Silly boy, you haven't done anything wrong. What's wrong is that we met those people who have money and are extravagant!"
To the eyes of the innocent student in his heart, Huang Dezheng admired his purity and was disgusted by the businessmen who chased money and hurt their lovers. He said sadly, "this world has been stained by money! You are still young In the eyes of businessmen who draw the blood of ordinary people to strengthen themselves, this little money is nothing at all, they are just showing off wealth! And we are not the same! We are doing good deeds! They cannot compare with us at all!"
In the arms of Huang Dezheng, Su Yibai puzzledly bit his lips. He didn't understand these words, but Teacher Huang was so good, he must not have said anything wrong …
The more he thought about it, the more Huang Dezheng felt he really shouldn't have come here. He looked around with disgust. He found that most of the people present were the so-called successful people in suits. Watching them open their mouth and report numbers that he couldn't bear to handle made him increasingly distressed and depressed in his heart.
For what?!
Why do you do so many good things for so many years and still have a humble life in your pockets? Why do those people spend so little money but get so much praise and fame for their wealth?!
The more he thought, the more he felt suffocated even breathing the air with these people as it was a kind of stain upon himself!
Huang Dezheng's face turned strange, and he could no longer devote any energy to paying attention to the next auction. After the auction was over, he looked gloomy and pulled Su Yibai out.
Su Yibai stumbled trying to keep up with him and his fine wrist were pinched a little but he didn't dare to say anything and could only stifle his tears and bear with it silently.
At the end of the auction, most of the middle-aged men in formal suits did not move. Ye Si Nian stood up and looked around coldly with a slight mockery in his eyes.
Pei Xiuyuan's eyes also held something strange, holding Ye Si Nian's hand calmly, and lowering his voice, "Let's go!"
With a warm look, Ye Si Nian gave a firm grip and let him lead them out.
The crowd went out in twos and threes. Ye Si Nian took the lead and walked in a dark place. When everyone including Pei Xiuyuan didn't notice, he dragged him into a dark building without turning on the lights inside.
Perhaps due to the charity auction, most of the staff in the orphanage were responsible for reception and logistics, and most other places were closed with iron doors and locked with a large lock.
Ye Si Nian took out the hairpin that had just been "borrowed" from a lady's head, made a few attempts, and listened to the sound of a "click". It seemed that the very strong iron lock was easily opened.
Pei Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows and was very interested in where his brother learned this unique technique, but this was not the time to discuss this, so he only regained his hand and looked around alertly unconsciously lowering his voice, "What is this?"
Ye Si Nian quietly glanced at the system interface that had been open since the end of the auction and found that it indeed blocked the signal.
Fortunately, this was an intelligent system from a high-tech plane, and signal shields of this level cannot successfully interfere with it.
Using the system, Ye Si Nian successfully hacked the computer in the orphanage, while using the powerful functions of the system to collect long-covered criminal evidence, he walked expressionlessly into seemingly old the building.
Receiving no answer and observing the thick sullenness emanating from his lover, Pei Xiuyuan pursed his lips and clenched his hands silently.
He had discovered Ye Si Nian's unusual behaviour and guessed that his purpose of participating in this charity auction may not be as simple as he thought, but even so, he still could not bear any slightest suspicion and doubt.
He was just only a little worried for now. Since he stepped into this building, he felt that his heartbeat started to beat faster, and he also felt like there was something cold behind him. His whole body was unconsciously tensed as if waiting for something bad to happen.
In the long, quiet and dark corridor, the lights were far away, casting large and strange shadows on the ground. the sound of the leather shoes stepping on the ground also sounded weird at this moment, making people nervous.
Pei Xiuyuan licked his lips unconsciously, looking at a closed iron door not far away, and felt his heart suddenly contracted.
As they got closer to the rusted iron door, a strange sense of crisis suddenly came. Pei Xiuyuan clenched his lips tightly, guarding very closely and stepping forward to keep Ye Si Nian behind.
"It's okay, there's no one in the building." At least there were no living people.
Ye Si Nian lowered his eyelids and his face became complex. If he remembered correctly, the building had been abandoned long ago. Now it was a place where all sort was stored in the orphanage But ten years ago, it was the whole world in the impression of young Pei Xiuning.
He didn't remember where he came from, and he didn't know if he had any parents or relatives. From the time he could remember, he had been living in a small cage in this building. The staff gave them regular food and water as if raising livestock. Don't even mention drinking and eating warm food, they didn't even know what it was like to be full and warm.
Probably because he grew up better, Pei Xiuning and several other good-looking children were selected and taken away. The staff pushed the cage from the first floor to the third floor, where each of them began to have a small room.
The room was in actuality just a bigger cage, but for Pei Xiuning, who knew nothing at the time, it was the best thing in the world!
How wonderful! Here, he could finally lie straight and sleep, and what delighted him most was that he had a small window for ventilation, and he could secretly look at the outside world!
Although the so-called outside world was just a corridor where there was no particular movement, however, who could appreciate the happiness that overflowed from the bottom of his heart?
But the darkness was endless. He still was unable to eat enough every day, and some people came to order him to pose in various painful postures every day, doing so in order to shape his perfect body so that he could sell for a good price in the future.
But what was the perfect form? What was a good price?
At that time, Pei Xiuning didn't understand anything. He only knew that if he did not follow the order, he would definitely not be able to bear the punishment later.
That day continued until he was six or seven years old. He was suddenly taken out of the room. In the past, he never fully noticed they saw him as a dead person with a charming face. He was held firmly and roughly pushed into the arms of a middle-aged man with a horrible smile.
The man touched his back with a smile filled with evil that disgusted him and fuelled his nightmares for later years.
Fortunately, and in God's care, they encountered a car accident shortly after leaving the orphanage. The man who was extremely ugly and terrible in his impression died in a pool of blood …
Later, he was taken back by the people in the orphanage, but after seeing the outside world, how could he still endure the life that even pigs and digs were inferior to?
He escaped and later met his adoptive parents who cared for him. He got rid of the nightmare life, but the fear was so profound that he never dared to remember it again.
Now it was time to uncover the scars and get rid of the shadows.
Ye Si Nian closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he suppressed the sudden writhing darkness in his mind to the extreme. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already clear.
Pei Xiuyuan frowned upon hearing his words. Ye Si Nian's face was a little pale, but he walked out from behind Pei Xiuyuan and opened the door that made him recall the dark memory from many years ago.
The heavy iron door was pushed open, and a long "squeak" sound made people feel only creepy.
Weak light was thrown into the room through the window, and Ye Siyan narrowed his eyes. He quickly adapted to the oppressive darkness and walked towards the interior.
Pei Xiuyuan followed him without a word and glanced over the infant specimens that were soaked in jars lined up in rows. His eyes turned cold and were unbelievably and unexpectedly surprised.
Step by step, he saw, the more doubts he had accumulated in his heart. Why did his brother want to take advantage of no one being here to come to this place? Why was he so familiar with this place? What did he want to do?
Gazing at his lover's pale face that could still be seen even in the dim light, Pei Xiuyuan expression tightened as he continued forward…
