Now he's in a bit of a bind. Given Andy's current mood, it's definitely not the right time for her to see He Xiaoming.
"No, it's not your fault."
"I'm very grateful that you helped me find Xiaoming, thank you so much."
Looking at Bai Tianyu's face so close to his, Andy pursed his lips and leaned closer.
"Um~~~"
"Smack smack~~~"
After a heated exchange, Andy, her face flushed, pushed Bai Tianyu away.
Before Andy could explain, Bai Tianyu also came over.
"Um~~~"
"Smack smack~~~"
For a long time, the lips are divided.
"Evened out."
Andy nodded shyly.
"Ah."
"Shall we go see Xiaoming?"
"it is good."
Andy was now like a wronged wife, letting Bai Tianyu do whatever he wanted.
"But could you please take your hand away?"
But just as they were getting out of the car, Andy's voice rang out.
Looking down, Bai Tianyu's hand was still on Andy's chest.
Bai Tianyu immediately withdrew his hand and instead hugged Andy, carrying him from the passenger seat.
The two got out of the driver's seat. Bai Tianyu let go of Andy and held Andy's small hand with one hand.
He locked the car with one hand and pulled her towards the welfare home.
The director of the orphanage has received the message, but is unsure when Bai Tianyu and the other person will arrive.
So Mei waited at the door, and told them to come to his office when they arrived.
Bai Tianyu also thought it would be better to keep a low profile, so he agreed.
The welfare home is quite large, and most of the people along the way are elderly people and caregivers.
But it's clear that the elderly people here are doing quite well.
Seeing the two holding hands like a married couple, everyone couldn't help but smile like doting aunts.
Especially the older married couples, who were pointing and gossiping about the two of them.
Andy's face flushed red, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Bai Tianyu.
Her little hand instinctively tried to break free a few times, but Bai Tianyu held on tightly, giving her no chance at all.
This made Andy both angry and annoyed; what a domineering man.
After a while.
The two arrived at the dean's office.
Pushing open the door, you can immediately see a slender young man, his back to them, quietly painting.
Even as the two of them walked in, they didn't glance at the doorway.
The moment Andy saw the other person, even before she could see their face, she already knew the answer in her heart.
He was her younger brother, her blood brother to whom she shared a deep bond.
He Xiaoming.
For a moment, she felt a mix of emotions.
She wanted to get closer to him, but was afraid of being rejected.
In short, I was extremely excited, almost to an abnormal degree.
Bai Tianyu noticed that Andy's mood was a bit off again, so he immediately pulled her into his arms.
Sensing Bai Tianyu's aura, Andy's emotions surprisingly stabilized.
Dean Xiuyuan was about to greet the two when she saw this scene, and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
It's not like she's old enough to have to endure being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). Isn't that a bit too much?
These young people these days.
It's really amazing.
Dean Xiuyuan silently complained to herself, but she also noticed that something was wrong with Andy.
Bai Tianyu pulled her into his arms to comfort her.
"Hello, Mr. Bai, right?"
"Hello, Dean Xiuyuan, I am Bai Tianyu, and this is Andy, my girlfriend."
Bai Tianyu introduced himself, and when he mentioned his girlfriend, Andy's body trembled slightly.
It was obvious that he was somewhat dissatisfied with Bai Tianyu's self-talk, but he didn't say anything.
It's the default.
"So you're Xiaoming's older sister?"
Andy lifted her head from Bai Tianyu's embrace and mustered her courage to nod.
"Yes, I am He Xiaoming's older sister, his biological sister."
"Okay, come over here."
"Come here, Xiaoming, your sister has come to see you."

Chapter 230: A Compromise
"........."
Hearing someone call his name, Xiaoming hesitantly raised his head and glanced at Dean Xiuyuan.
He then glanced at Andy in the distance, following her finger, and continued drawing without saying a word.
They completely ignored them.
Dean Xiuyuan was already used to this.
He waved to Andy, signaling her to come closer.
"Come here, don't stand so far away. Talk to Xiaoming and let him get to know you."
Then, he whispered a few more words in He Xiaoming's ear.
"Xiaoming, be good. She is your older sister, not a stranger."
Before Bai Tianyu arrived, he had already communicated with Dean Xiuyuan and presented the DNA reports of the two of them.
This proves their blood relationship; otherwise, Dean Xiuyuan wouldn't have said that.
Although He Xiaoming only glanced at Andy, Andy was certain that he was her younger brother based on that one look alone.
It's so similar, especially the expression, which is exactly the same as when he was a child.
She also noticed that He Xiaoming's mental state was not quite right.
But she had come specifically for He Xiaoming, so she boldly approached him.
She wanted to hold He Xiaoming's hand to comfort him.
However, He Xiaoming was a little scared and hid behind Dean Xiuyuan.
They showed no intention of contacting Andy whatsoever.
This left Andy completely bewildered, and he stood there somewhat at a loss.
Bai Tianyu stepped forward, took Andy's little hand, and comforted her.
"Andy, it's alright."
"He's just a little shy because he hasn't seen you in so many years."
"Don't be anxious, take your time."
"Ah."
Andy bit her lip, looking at He Xiaoming hiding behind Dean Xiuyuan with resentment, but there was nothing she could do.
Dean Xiuyuan noticed He Xiaoming's fear and stopped pressuring him to continue interacting with Andy.
Let him draw by himself on the side.
“Miss Andy, it’s not that I’m being nosy.”
"Judging from your clothes, you must be from a wealthy family. I really don't understand why you only remembered Xiaoming now."
"Xiao Ming was in trouble, you guys threw him out, and now look what's happened, you remember him? How could Xiao Ming possibly recognize you!"
"I don't care what problems your family has or what your assets are like. If you want to take Xiaoming away, you have to give me a guarantee. Otherwise, who knows if you'll be like before, accepting him today and throwing him away tomorrow."
"This is a living, breathing life, not a toy you carelessly discarded!"
"What kind of wicked parents are they? What a mess they've made!"
Andy lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Xiaoming.
“My parents are dead, and I grew up in an orphanage. Later, I was adopted. At that time, I was too young to take care of my younger brother, which was my fault.”
"Thank you for taking care of Xiaoming all these years. I will donate five million to the welfare home as a token of my gratitude when I get back."
