"Okay, Moxie, I am also responsible for making that child sick like this. I didn't comfort her well at the time, and I didn't have time to care about her mental state after the incident, so now please take me to make up for this mistake. "

Yan Qingruo said firmly.

But Moxi's face showed a worried look, he looked at Yan Qingruo, and said after a while: "Miss Yan, I know that you are willing to see the child and will forgive her, but, just Mr. Chu's side."

Moxi hesitated to speak.

Yan Qingruo knew his worries, so she comforted him: "Don't worry, Godfather, this matter is my personal matter, I will not report everything like Mr. It's not about my little things."

"So godfather, please don't have any worries. It's more important to see Bai Jingjing now. I think that child must need me very much now. Even if Mr. Chu knows about it in the future, please be sure to say that I took the initiative I ask you to take me to see her, and don't take the initiative to mention this matter in front of him. "

Yan Qingruo knew about Chu Mu's temper, but in the end it was her own business, and Bai Jingjing's condition was the most important thing, she was absolutely unwilling to take the life of a child because of her weak consciousness.

"Miss Yan, you are really kind, but if Mr. Chu asks about this matter, I will definitely tell him the true content of our conversation, and I will not say that this matter is your responsibility alone. You know, the priest, never lie."

Moxi's expression was very serious. If Yan Qing knew that asking a clergyman to tell a lie was equivalent to asking him to kill someone, even if it was a white lie, he would not accept it when it was not necessary.

Yan Qingruo knew that she couldn't persuade Moxi to obey her arrangement, so she just nodded and stood up and said, "It's not too late, let's go and see Bai Jingjing first."

Moxi also stood up and led Yan Qingruo to the backyard.

The backyard is always the quietest place in Shengde Cathedral. Here, there is a big banyan tree as old as the front door. Next to the big banyan tree is the student dormitory.

But because Bai Jingjing was sick, she couldn't stand the noise, so Moxi specially arranged a separate room for her. The room was not small, but the decoration was very simple, even a little shabby. When Yan Qingruo walked in, she felt like I felt a damp breath.

"Miss Yan, that child Bai Jingjing is in here, do you want to go in by yourself?" Moxi asked expectantly.

If Yan Qing thinks that what he asked should be whether she went in alone, it's just that although Moxi has lived in China for most of his life, he still doesn't have a comprehensive understanding of some of the essence of domestic culture.

She nodded to Moxie, and said with a smile in his expectant eyes: "Yes Moxie, I want to go in and see that poor child in person, please wait for me here."

Only then did Moxi nodded happily, made a gesture of invitation to Yan Qingruo, and let her in sideways.

Yan Qingruo's first feeling when she entered was that it was a bit gloomy and cold. It's strange to say that although this place is a bit remote, it is still under the jurisdiction of God anyway, and even lives in the same big courtyard as the Son of God. Why? The place where Jesus lived was so spacious and bright, but why is it so dark and humid here?

But Yan Qingruo thought about it, isn't the house here a typical representative of southern houses?The space is small and humid all year round.

Her gaze shifted from the mottled wall to a bedside with white articles hanging. There were only her and Bai Jingjing in the room.

Yan Qingruo naturally knew that Bai Jingjing should be lying on the bed hung with a mosquito net. This room only had one pitifully small window. She even thought, can living here really cure her illness?Will there be any other problems again?
As she got closer, Yan Qingruo could clearly hear Bai Jingjing's peaceful breathing, thinking that she had fallen asleep, and when she was about to lighten her steps, she heard faint sobs coming from the curtain.

Yan Qingruo thought it was terrible, Bai Jingjing must be doing something unexpected again, so she walked over quickly, opened her writing curtain and said, "Bai Jingjing, are you okay?"

Bai Jingjing, who was covering her mouth and sobbing, was too indulging in her own sadness just now, so she didn't even notice that someone walked into the room.

When he heard Yan Qingruo's voice, his back was visibly stiff for a while, and then he remained motionless, like an insect that has done bad things and crawled on human territory. When it saw humans, it immediately stopped all actions. Move and play dead.

Yan Qingruo slowly sat beside Bai Jingjing's bed, and she could faintly smell the potion. She knew that Bai Jingjing must have been under the bottle recently.

"Jingjing, are you awake, right? I'm Teacher Yan, and I'm here to see you." Yan Qingruo said, but Bai Jingjing didn't seem to respond, saying that she hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet. Own.

Yan Qingruo put her hand on Bai Jingjing's thin shoulders, then leaned down and said softly: "Jingjing, Teacher Yan came to see you specially today, I heard Moxi tell you about your current situation No, are you still troubled by what happened a few days ago?"

Only then did Bai Jingjing sob and turn around slowly. She opened her watery but out-of-focus eyes wide and looked straight ahead. She cried and said, "Teacher Yan, you are here."

Yan Qingruo looked at Bai Jingjing's face that was paler than white paper with distress. Although she usually looked so pale, she was not so pale. Now her eyes looked sunken, and the dark circles under her eyes were darker than her own in the middle of the night. The person who didn't go to bed until three or four o'clock was even more serious, and her lips were even paler, without even a trace of blood.

She didn't know how much psychological pressure the child was under because of this incident.

"Quiet, it's okay, Teacher Yan and I are fine too." Yan Qingruo touched the corners of her eyes and helped her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

But Bai Jingjing cried more and more ferociously. If her tears just now were just a drizzle, they have turned into a torrential rain now. Those big tears fell straight down like beads with broken threads , hitting Bai Jingjing's face and hands

On the quilt, it also hit Yan Qingruo's heart.

"Mr. Yan, I'm sorry for you. I was the one who caused you to fall into the water and almost killed you. I'm not a good boy, and I violated God's teaching." Bai Jingjing said while crying and tearing her heart.

"Good boy, isn't the teacher doing well? There is nothing wrong with the teacher, and the teacher doesn't blame you. The teacher knows that you also made an unintentional mistake, so don't blame yourself, okay?" Yan Qingruo hugged Looking at her, he patted her on the back lightly and said.

But Bai Jingjing didn't seem to listen to Yan Qingruo's forgiveness, she just kept crying, and continued to sob after crying, muttering to herself: "It's all my fault, I'm a bad boy, I Not a good boy, God will punish me and abandon me."

"Jingjing, do you really feel sorry for the teacher?" Yan Qingruo stopped comforting, she moved her arms away, let her sit upright, and asked seriously.

Bai Jingjing was caught by Yan Qingruo's sudden question and forgot to cry for a moment, she just sobbed and said, "Yes, Teacher Yan, I'm sorry for you."

Yan Qingruo pondered for a while and continued: "Since you think you are sorry for Teacher Yan, then Teacher Yan wants to ask you for compensation, you will not refuse, right?"

Bai Jingjing nodded solemnly.

Yan Qingruo, who received Bai Jingjing's affirmation, immediately said: "Then, the compensation that the teacher wants is that I hope your illness will recover soon. You have to forget about the past and be yourself, okay?"

Bai Jingjing fell into a long silence. For children of her age, it may be difficult for them to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil in this world, but their wisdom and understanding are not that of adults. as fragile as we imagined.

At least, they understand the most basic kindness and malice.

"Teacher Yan, why did you make such a request?" Bai Jingjing asked suspiciously.She was already a 12-year-old girl, and because of her sentimental nature, she matured earlier than other children in the orphanage. She was very confused by Yan Qingruo's actions.

In her cognition, she thought that Yan Qingruo should punish herself to offset her sins, but she didn't expect that this person who was caused by herself to fall into the water and almost died would not only not blame her, but She also needs to take care of herself.

This is something she can't understand at her current age and experience.

"Jingjing, what's wrong with you?" Yan Qingruo asked strangely seeing that Bai Jingjing hadn't responded for a long time.

Bai Jingjing was stunned for a few seconds and said, "Mr. Yan, why are you being so nice to me?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Yan Qingruo's mouth, she put her hand on Bai Jingjing's head, touched her hair with her fingers, and found that it was softer than fine silk.

"Quiet, don't forget that you are still a child. God will forgive a child who has made mistakes. How can I not forgive? Besides, you are just an unintentional mistake."

"But Moxi's father said that no matter how small a person does wrong, they will be seen by God, and will be recorded in their own growth process. No matter where I go in the future, I will always carry with me Those sins."

Yan Qingruo suddenly felt that those children who believed in religion were really simple, their world had its own set of rules, and such rules were like a rope that led them to be good.
