Chapter 396 Further Studies
"Don't be discouraged. A lot of time has passed. Take your time, and you'll find the answer." The old director encouraged him. "I believe that whoever left you in the orphanage didn't do it on purpose. Maybe they're looking for you too."
"I believe it too." Lin Fan smiled faintly, "I'll tell you as soon as I have any news."
At lunchtime, the old director invited Lin Fan and Tong Xiao to stay for lunch and personally prepared the meal. Lin Fan went to play with the children while Tong Xiao helped prepare the meal.
"Old Dean, can you tell me how you took in Brother Xiaofan at that time?" Tong Xiao asked in a low voice.
"Of course." The old dean replied with a smile, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this question?"
"I just want to see if I can help Brother Xiaofan." Tong Xiao said softly, "Even if my power is small, I hope I can do something for him."
"You kid..." The old dean looked at Tong Xiao, his eyes full of love and understanding. "I understand your intentions, but some things cannot be solved by one's own strength."
When they were young, these two friends were always inseparable and very close.
They also like to play house games. One of them says that he will marry the other when he grows up, and the other will smile and agree to marry him.
They are like friends who grew up together and there is no barrier between them.
But later, Lin Fan left the orphanage, and Tong Xiao was alone for a long time, and her mood could not calm down for a long time.
Over the years, she has always been thinking about Lin Fan in her heart, and she always mentions him every time she returns to the orphanage.
Now Lin Fan is back, but he already has a fiancée, which is a big blow to Tong Xiao.
In her eyes, Lin Fan and Tong Xiao were a match made in heaven, but the reality could not be changed.
Therefore, she hopes to help Tong Xiao let go of the past as soon as possible and find her own happiness.
"Xiaoxiao, we will meet many people on the road of life. Some will accompany you for a lifetime, while others will only accompany you for a short time... Whether it is a long-term companionship or a brief encounter, it is a precious fate.
It would be best if you could keep going, but if not, learning to let go is also a kind of wisdom.
Some things, if pursued excessively, will only bring burdens and even harm to yourself and others, not just to the two of you...
I saw on the Internet that young people nowadays are increasingly understanding the true meaning of life. The old dean also hopes that you can do the same, live for yourself, not for anyone else.
I hope you can all be happy. Lin Fan didn't hide this from you, perhaps because he wanted you to have a better life. He is your brother Xiaofan, and this will never change..."
The old dean held Tong Xiao's hand tightly and spoke in a sincere tone.
"Of course, I also hope that you can bravely pursue your own happiness, but you must think twice before acting, understand?"
"Old Dean, I understand."
Tong Xiao nodded in agreement.
"I'm not thinking too much right now. I just want to do something for Brother Xiaofan."
"Haha, you are all good and sensible children."
The old dean smiled with satisfaction, then recalled the past and told Tong Xiao everything she knew.
"Memories of my infancy, the story behind my name, and the jade pendant..."
After lunch, Lin Fan once again conducted physical examinations and treatments for the children in the orphanage.
Most of these children were abandoned due to congenital diseases, and the orphanage's biggest expense is their medical expenses.
Despite various government supports, it is far from enough, and the ultimate economic pressure still falls on the orphanage and the children.
With Lin Fan's help, the children no longer need to go out for medical treatment, and many complex congenital diseases are just a trivial matter in his eyes.
"Old Dean, I will come back often to see you and treat the children."
"That's great, Xiaofan. Thank you on behalf of the children."
The old director was very happy. She was happier to see the children recover than to see her own health.
After Tong Xiao and the old director talked for a while, the two left the orphanage.
"Where are we going? Taking you clothes shopping?"
Lin Fan looked at Tong Xiao and asked.
"Don't go, don't go."
Tong Xiao refused without hesitation. She was afraid to go shopping with Lin Fan because he would spend millions at a time, which made her feel very stressed.
She felt that she might have to work her whole life to pay off her last expense.
"Let's go for a walk. We have nothing to do anyway."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Don't girls like shopping?"
"No, let's just find a place to sit."
Tong Xiao shook her head. As long as she could be with Brother Xiaofan, it didn't matter what she did.
"Okay, let's find a cafe and sit down."
Lin Fan nodded in agreement. He also wanted to have a good chat with her.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a nice cafe.
Tong Xiao is now accustomed to Lin Fan's generosity. If it were in the past, she might have asked to move to another place.
The two entered the cafe and chose a seat by the window.
"Xiaoxiao, what kind of coffee would you like?"
"Well, I don't quite understand. Brother Xiaofan, please help me choose."
"Okay, let's have two cups of Blue Mountain coffee then."
After the waiter left, Lin Fan looked at Tong Xiao and asked.
"Xiaoxiao, you're graduating this year, right?"
"Well, soon."
"What are your plans after graduation?"
"I'm wondering whether I should continue going to school or go to work." Tong Xiao's voice was very low.
In the past, she would have chosen to work without hesitation, earning money not only for herself but also for the children in the orphanage. But now, that burden no longer exists.
"Graduate school entrance exam? There's nothing to worry about. If you like reading, just keep reading. It's always good to read more." Lin Fan said seriously.
"Read more and you will have more choices in the future. Since you are already a college student, I will not tell you those clichés, but I sincerely suggest that you continue your studies." Lin Fan added.
"Brother Xiaofan, I will think about it carefully." Tong Xiao looked up at Lin Fan with a smile on his face.
"Well, what's important is your own wishes. You don't have to be influenced by the outside world." Lin Fan said and started playing with his phone.
"Okay, I'll transfer another million to you. Tell me when you've spent it all." Lin Fan said.
"But the one I was given last time hasn't been touched yet." Tong Xiao explained hurriedly.
"Then spend it quickly. Brother Xiaofan doesn't have any other advantages except that he has a lot of money." Lin Fan said somewhat domineeringly.
"There's so much money that I'm almost going gray with worry. Please help me too." Lin Fan said half-jokingly.
Tong Xiao was stunned. This was the first time she heard of someone being troubled by having too much money.
"Don't mention it. I made another 500 million last night treating patients." Lin Fan added lightly.
"To me, one million is about the same as one dollar." Just at this moment, the waiter brought the coffee. Hearing this, the tray in his hand shook involuntarily.
