Chapter 104 Blame Me for Growing Short?
“All you can think about is food?”
Under umbrellas, he looked at her, with rain draping between them, as if a thin curtain of rain.
“It’s not food? Geez, I’m not a worm in your belly, who knows what you give?”
Vivian felt that Morris was keep her guessing, but still reached out for it.
It turned out to be a delicate box. She smelled it, which was a faint vanilla scent that smelled nice.
“This is a medicine I got an old herbalist from a neighboring village to dispense, it is for speeding up the healing of the wounds and repairing the scars.”
Girls are more beauty conscious and don’t like to have scars on their bodies.
Morris then found the herbalist and asked for this ointment.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk …”
Vivian opened the box and looked at the creamy white and refreshingly fragrant ointment inside, and couldn’t stop teasing, “So good? Then I’ll take it.”
She closed the box and tucked the small box into her pocket.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
With that, she looked up at him, “Go ahead, what do you want from me?”
She thought he must be up for something.
A second ago, the man’s handsome face permeated with a light smile, but the next moment he looked cold.
He glanced at Vivian with cool eyes and walked right around her.
Vivian stood in place, watching him step forward through the mud, wondering, “What is that anger about?”
Was it because she hadn’t thanked him?
She bumbled along with Morris towards the school, and since it was a long walk, it took the two of them an hour to get there.
In spite of the heavy rain, which fell on the ground splashing and rippling with water, and the sound was loud, but it could not cover the sound of students reading aloud in the school.
The school, made of mud bricks, had rain gurgling down from the eaves, while on the roof there was a man in a blue raincoat climbing up on a ladder to fix the roof to prevent leaks.
“When I was a kid, I went to a school like this.”
Vivian stood in the rain, looking at the scene in front of her as if she had gone back to her childhood.
And Morris was born in a rich family, and he had not been in the situation where the classroom was leaking water.
The two men just had a look so as not to disturb the children’s classes, and then went to a newly vacated book room in the school.
Sure enough, the book room was leaking badly.
Some of the books that were donated came unopened, but some opened were already dripping.
Vivian couldn’t find anything to prevent the rain, so she had to stand in front of the bookshelf with her umbrella to protect the books.
The school has four classes, first and second grade having class together and one class each for third, fourth and fifth grade, but with only two teachers.
Under such difficult circumstances, the two teachers gave extremely much effort for the 50 students in the school.
Vivian was moved.
After a while, the rain finally stopped.
The man in the raincoat straightened the leaky tile back up and all was safe and sound.
He panted and trotted to Vivian and Morris with a simple smile, “Sorry, it was raining heavily just now, so I went to repair the roof.”
“Okay, we just came over to take a look. Rather, Mr. Howard, you and your wife have been guarding the children here, it is really admirable.”
Vivian complimented from the bottom of her heart.
“Hahaha, we’re used to it, these children are the future of our country, wouldn’t it be a pity if no one cares about them?” The teacher Mr. Howard said as he took off his raincoat and hurried to pour water for the two.
“No need, no need, we’re not drinking.”
Vivian stepped forward to stop him, then removed her backpack and took out forty thousand in cash from it, and then handed it to Mr. Howard, “Before the donation was from the company, and this is from me. Take it, this is for you and your wife’s living expenses. Only if you are well off can you make things better for the children.”
After coming to the village, Vivian met Mr. Howard and his wife, who were kind-hearted people who taught their students without expecting anything in return, something that countless people could not do.
Seeing this scene, Morris, who was standing on the side, his dark eyes faintly flashed, looked surprised.
In his mind, Vivian was a woman who loved money, but he never thought she would take out forty thousand to donate to Mr. Howard.
As far as he knew, Vivian was very strapped for cash.
“No, no, no. You’ve already given plenty, no need really.”
“Take it; this is for you and the children, please don’t say no.”
Mr. Howard refused insistently, and Vivian had a tough attitude and stuffed him with forty thousand, and then dragged Morris and ran away, for fear that if she was late, Mr. Howard would give her the money back.
The two stepped in the mud, yellow mud staining their pants, but Vivian was in a very good mood.
She stood on the mountain, sniffing the fresh air after the rain, and caught a glimpse of the rainbow on the other side of the mountain, “Look, Morris, look, a rainbow. It’s so beautiful, come on, come over here and take a picture of me, Morris. Let’s both take a group picture together, it’s a reminder of our first time doing charity work.”
“Okay.”
Morris didn’t refuse.
Walking up to her, Vivian pulled out her phone and held it up, only then did she realize that Morris was too tall, so she glared at him, “You’ve grown so tall that you’re out of the picture frame.”
Helplessness surfaced on Morris’ face, “You’re short and you blame me?”
“So you can’t squat a little?”
Morris: “…”
In the face of her nonsense, given Morris’ nature, he should have ignored it, but instead he bent his knees slightly and stood beside her.
Vivian held her phone high and turned on the camera, then looked at her and him in the camera and said to Morris again, “Squat a little more.”
He didn’t say anything, but he very honestly squatted down a little.
Vivian smoothly wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and the two took an intimate picture together.
With a click, the picture was framed. The two stood in front of a hill, a large mountain not far behind them, the mountain smoky, the sun casting rays of light, illuminating the rainbow in an extraordinarily gorgeous way.
The background of the picture was extremely beautiful, inside was a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
“It’s nice, but Morris, what’s that look on your face?”
Vivian stared at the picture, only to find herself facing the camera while Morris was looking at her with a slight inclination of his head.
“I’m going to take a buddy picture with you, why we look a young couple? No, no, I’m going to delete it.”
