Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1195 – Give Me One Too

Lin Yi parked the car in front of the orphanage. One look at that run-down building and Lin Yi felt that things were hard on Xiaoke, for her to be holding up this entire place on her own.

In the car, Xiaoke had been talking to Mengyao and Yushu about a lot of things regarding the orphanage as well, telling them about the kids there and how sad their situation was. Although, words didn’t do them justice at all.

If it weren’t for Lin Yi coming here today, Mengyao and Yushu would never find out about this orphanage in Songshan for their entire lives! They did donate money before, but it was always to some far away poor district. They would have never thought that there’d be a poor place like this right in the middle of Songshan city!

“It looks run-down, doesn’t it…” Xiaoke felt awkward- these two were clearly rich people, and coming here wouldn’t bode well with them at all.

“Is this the orphanage? Are there a lot of kids here? They live here every day?” Mengyao said, unable to hold back the questions as she saw the place.

“Yes, this is ti!” Xiaoke nodded, “The kids here never received a parent’s love since their childhood, and the headmaster and I are the only ones who try our best to take care of them, but we lack funding, so the life we provide for them isn’t the best…”

Xiaoke had just arrived when Xiao Ken came running out of the red brick building, “Xiaoke sis, you’re finally back! Xiao Yan fainted!”

“What?!” Xiaoke jumped in shock after hearing the words- she was having a fever right when she left, and her mood wasn’t really good either. Xiaoke really was getting worried. She didn’t think that leaving to find Goudan would result in her fainting!

Lin Yi and Goudan got off the car, as well, and Goudan believed everything Xiaoke said to him upon seeing the building. He felt a bit bad for misunderstanding the situation earlier- she really was a nice person, and if she had known that the money would be used for the orphans, he wouldn’t even have wanted to ask the money back!

Lin Yi heard Xiao Ken’s words, as well, “Bring me there!”

Xiao Ken knew Lin Yi, and so he didn’t hesitate much as he nodded, bringing him into the dorms of the orphanage. This was the factory type of longhouse, and there were dozens of beds in the house. The house was old, and the beds were rusted, but the sheets were folded neatly.

Xiao Yan was on one of the bds.

The girl was around ten years old, and she was already helping out in the kitchen! But that was how it was in the orphanage. They had no extra money to be hiring help at all; all the chores being done here were all led by Xiao Ken and the kids! Xiaoke could earn money, but the headmaster was old and wasn’t very healthy anymore.

The girl’s face was pale, and her forehead heated. Lin Yi extended her hand and checked the girl’s tongue and nerves before breathing out in relief. “It’s infection from rust. I’ll handle the wound first and write you guys a recipe- Yao Yao and Shu, you guys, mind going to the pharmacy for me?”

“Sure!” Mengyao nodded without thinking about it- she really felt touched with the situation here. She didn’t really believe beforehand, but coming here and seeing the sick Xiao Yan herself, she realized just how hard life was here. If she was able to help her, she’d do it!

She’d decided- she’d give all her allowance to this orphanage, trying her best to help out for these kids!

Lin Yi helped the sleeping Xiao Yan treat her wounds before putting on the Miracle Doctor Guan medicine, leaving the rest to Xiaoke, “Alright, it should be fine now. I’ll leave half a bottle here if there’s a wound in the future use it right away. It will have gotten this bad if you do that next time.”

“One bottle is one hundred ninety-nine, no way I can afford that?” Xiaoke sighed. “We use the cheapest red medicine here…”

“That medicine is fine for some small wounds, but this is a knife wound. You can’t let problems happen just to save money, right?” Lin Yi didn’t know what to say to Xiaoke’s words. “With the money, you steal all the time, you can’t even afford a bottle of medicine?”

“With how tight things are out there, of course, I wouldn’t go out stealing money- if I could, I wouldn’t be borrowing money! The orphanage needs to use the money in too many places. Of course, I need to calculate the costs. That injury medicine is so expensive, too! One hundred ninety-nine? What about ninety-nine? What a black-hearted businessman!” Xiaoke said, dissatisfied.

“…” Lin Yi was at a loss for words- since when did he become a black-hearted businessman? His medicine was much cheaper than Miracle Doctor Kang’s by a hundred!

But Lingshan’s tightening up of security was something he’d heard about. It seemed like Xiaoke wasn’t a good enough thief yet.

Mengyao and Yushu naturally knew about Miracle Doctor Guan’s injury medicine and the guy who made and sold it- they tried to contain in their laughter. Mengyao spoke up. “Yeah, what a black-hearted businessman! But Lin Yi knows the owner of that company. He could give you guys some?”

“Really?” Xiaoke looked quite happy upon hearing the words- if the orphanage could get their hands on some of the medicine, then it’d be great. The kids wouldn’t have to be worried about infections or anything anymore!

“Yeah, really.” Lin Yi nodded, looking at the MIss oddly. She was kind, and this made him happy too- if she were like those girls with a princess disease, then Lin Yi really wouldn’t bother with her.

With that, Lin Yi wrote a recipe for Mengyao and Yushu, “Just get the ingredients using what I wrote here.”

“Oh, right, help me write a recipe too later!” Yushu suddenly thought of something as she took the recipe.

“You’re not even sick, why do you need a medicine recipe?” Lin Yi looked at her oddly, amused. “You can’t just eat medicine for the sake of it.”

“It’s not for a sickness- I thought that maybe there’s a recipe that makes you taller?” Yushu blinked, “I want to grow taller!”

“Taller? Why?” Ln Yi didn’t expect that Yushu would come up with this request.
