Chapter 396: – Clear the place
Qiu Yufei, this girl, seemed to have experienced some kind of traumatic experience before.
It wasn’t something Lin Jin had heard her say, it was just something she inexplicably picked up on. Maybe it could be considered as a woman’s sixth sense?
Well, anyway, Lin Jin didn't really know how to put it, but she just felt like this Qiu Yufei girl had some psychological issues. After listening to what she said, Lin Jin suspected if it was because she had been adopted twice but was returned both times that made her a little wary of strangers?
That couple picked a child and then, with the child, followed the director to handle the paperwork. It seemed like they were planning to reserve the child first and then come back some time later to take the two year old boy home.
This was considered a good thing for the children at the welfare institute. Even though they lost a buddy, they were genuinely happy for that child. Though the two year old child probably didn’t even really understand what was happening.
"Tell me a bit about your welfare institute?" Lin Jin felt there was nothing to do and the commotion among the children had settled down after the couple left. Those who were watching TV continued watching TV, those playing with toys kept playing, and those daydreaming continued to daydream. The lively atmosphere just a moment ago suddenly turned oppressive again.
Lin Jin didn't really like this oppressive atmosphere very much. Even though she could hear the noise of the children beside her, just a glance around and she would be able to see all the mentally disabled children nearby, instantly plummeting her mood.
Although Lin Jin said she was there to play with and take care of the kids or stuff like that, it was just what she said. In reality, Lin Jin and her friends not causing the aunties trouble was already worth celebrating. Most of the time, helping was more of a hindrance, so they mostly just ended up entertaining the children and stuff.
Especially those two and three year old children who were too young to understand anything. Although they weren’t as unruly as kids from a normal family, they would still cry whenever they were unhappy. The aunties were busy taking care of the mentally challenged children and didn’t have time for them, so it was left to Lin Jin, her group, and the other older children to coax them.
Qiu Yufei was a bit mature for her age. Although she was only six, Lin Jin felt that her mind was probably on par with those elementary school kids who had been in school for several years.
"Come tell me about it? Wasn’t there some bad reports about the welfare institute before?" Lin Jin leaned in close to Yufei's head and asked with a gentle smile.
Qiu Yufei glanced at Lin Jin, then turned back to watching Tom and Jerry on TV with little interest.
"I'll give you a lollipop?" Lin Jin took a lollipop out of her pocket and placed it on the table in front of Yufei. Seeing that she wasn't interested, Lin Jin then took out a pack of gummy candies. "Gummies? Whatever you want, I'll get it all for you."
However, Yufei was still completely uninterested and stayed fixated on the TV, as if Tom and Jerry was her entire world.
Lin Jin frowned slightly. She couldn't believe that this Qiu Yufei, a little kid, didn't have anything that could interest her.
"By the way, do you like musical instruments? I can play the guitar and stuff, I can pretty much play any instrument a bit" Lin Jin winked at her. "How about it? If you're interested, you can learn from me! I'll cover all the tuition, I’ll cover all the instruments too."
"You're so childish. You’re clearly already an adult."
Qiu Yufei stood up disdainfully and moved her chair away from Lin Jin, as if afraid the childishness might be contagious.
This girl...
"Do you like dancing?" Lin Jin continued randomly asking. "I can sing too. I'm pretty much good at everything."
This time, Lin Jin noticed her eyes had clearly lit up a bit.
"Can you dance?" Yufei turned her head with interest.
"Of course, I've been dancing since I was young! A master! I even have videos uploaded online, with ten thousands of people watching me at my peak. What do you think, am I good at dancing or what?" Lin Jin raised her head with a boastful expression "How about it? You tell me about the welfare institute and in the future, I'll come over to teach you whenever I can."
"Do you know ballet?"
What the f*ck was ballet?
Maybe it was because ballet wasn’t very popular in the country and not many people learn, there were also not many recommendations about it on the video sites Lin Jin usually visits. As a result, Lin Jin had actually only seen ballet a few times in her life, most of which was from the TV when she was a kid.
She completely didn’t know ballet!
Though Lin Jin was momentarily stunned, her mouth still dishonestly blurted out: "Yes! I know everything!"
Yep, of course she knew it! Anyways, for dancing and stuff, wasn’t it always leg presses and stuff at the start? Once the leg presses were done, she could just look for videos online and learn as she goes!
"Really?" Qiu Yufei looked at her with some skepticism.
"Of course it's true!" It was impossible for Lin Jin to perform a dance for her live. Aside from the lack of a venue, the problem was that she didn’t actually know ballet. So she called out to Xia Tian, who was still live streaming nearby, to come over, "Xia Tian, come over here!"
"Prove to this little girl that I can dance" When Xia Tian’s phone faced Lin Jin, she faced the camera and said to the viewers while pointing at Qiu Yufei beside her "Everyone, just type 111 in the chat. This little girl doesn't believe I can dance."
Qiu Yufei curiously looked at the phone, not really understanding what Lin Jin was doing at the moment.
Although this six year old was a bit more mature than her peers, she still had no idea what live streaming was as she rarely went out.
In order to make the viewer comments more convincing, Lin Jin explained to Qiu Yufei what live streaming was, and then had Xia Tian show the chat to Qiu Yufei.
Sure enough, almost all of the messages in chat were “111”, with a few words mixed in like "I love you, crossdressing boss!" and "Go away, iceberg streamer. Let the crossdressing boss take over!"
Although Qiu Yufei was still a bit confused, after Lin Jin's explanation, she understood that these messages were from viewers sitting in front of their computers. In other words, this meant that Lin Jin really could dance. After all, so many people were vouching for her.
"Okay then, I'll reluctantly let you teach me how to dance" Qiu Yufei turned her head to the side and arrogantly said with a reluctant expression "I'm naturally beautiful and talented, and there are so many dance teachers out there fighting to teach me. You got a good deal."
Well, listen to her talk.
Lin Jin shook her head helplessly and noticed that the direction of the chat had suddenly shifted. It had just been “Lin Jin gang”, but now it had instantly become “loli gang” with everyone spamming things like “loli number 1”. Anyways, the barrage was unsightly.
The problem was that a six year old girl could at most be just considered a young girl, right?
"Then I'll come over tomorrow to teach you. I'll go back and prepare a bit." Lin Jin shrugged, pushed Xia Tian's phone away, and turned to Qiu Yufei to say. "You need to prepare a space for practice tomorrow. I'll come by at three in the afternoon."
"Okay, okay." She was clearly excited about learning to dance, her little face was completely flushed.
However, just as Lin Jin and Qiu Yufei were starting to get closer, the chubby auntie came over.
"It's almost six o'clock. Our welfare institute clears the place after six in the evening. You guys should leave now."
"Clear the place?" Lin Jin had never heard of such a thing.
"Yes, after six, the children need to eat, bathe, and attend their evening classes. It's better if you outsiders don't disturb them."
Helpless, Lin Jin and her group had no choice but to leave.
