The sudden sound of laughter in her ears made Blanche a little sheepish and slightly embarrassed, “What are you laughing at? Do I look funny?”
She had tried so hard, but she couldn’t coax the little one into anything, what could she do.
Kent shook his head and looked at her with an involuntary softening of his gaze, “No, you’re fine like that.”
“……”
Blanche blushed again, even though he said that, the smile in his eyes fell as if he was mocking her, making her feel ashamed for a moment.
Vincent didn’t say anything, so the two of them stayed quietly by his side and kept him company, and no one spoke up to break the silence.
It wasn’t until the dean came over and shouted for lunch that all the children in the courtyard instantly ran in, and Kent got up and patted his clothes, then reached out and took Vincent’s, “Well, it’s time for us to go eat.”
Vincent didn’t move, so Kent had to bend down and pick him up.
Blanche followed suit and immediately got up, her eyes skimming over Kent’s suit which he hadn’t had time to pat clean, her steps quickened a few notches to catch up with him, “Sir Lewis ……”
“Hmm?”
Kent was holding Vincent in his arms and suddenly stopped moving at her words, “What’s wrong?”
“You ……” she gestured carefully behind him, “Your clothes are a little dusty.”
“Then please pat it for me.” The latter said smoothly.
Blanche’s face, however, froze instantly and Kent gave her a suspicious look, “What’s the matter, why are you looking at me with a strange face, do I have something on my face too?”
“No.” She immediately shook her head.
Kent frowned and Blanche just felt her scalp tingle, suddenly regretting what she had said.
She took a few cautious steps forward, reaching up and tugging the back of his waist with one hand and landing gently …… on his ass with the other ……
“……”
Kent was embarrassed for a moment, suddenly understanding why Blanche had a complicated look on her face just then.
“Ahem!” He coughed violently and shifted his position, “Alright, alright, I’ll get it on my own later, let’s go eat first.”
After saying that, not daring to look at her at all, he fled as if disappearing from her sight.
Blanche’s face had already flushed red with shame, not daring to raise her head until the familiar sound of footsteps had faded away.
But when she looked around again, the people had almost all gone, making her look around and suddenly lose her bearings.
“Blanche?”
The dean suddenly appeared behind her at some point and startled her.
Blanche covered her chest and apologised slightly, “Dean, what are you doing here?”
“I saw Kent go to the cafeteria and didn’t see you, so I thought you might have gotten lost, so I came out to see if you were lost.”
The dean smiled lovingly and couldn’t help but take her hand, “Come on, I’ll take you to the canteen.”
Blanche nodded with a grateful look on her face.
As the dean led her, her eyes couldn’t help but fall on her face, “Blanche, I assume you have feelings for Kent?”
Blanche’s hands and feet instantly went cold and she looked at her in surprise, “Why ……”
She would know?
Was it really that obvious that she was acting that way?
“Don’t be nervous, I didn’t mean anything else.” The dean looked at her flustered look and immediately showed goodwill, “I’ve just seen too much of life, so I can see something, don’t worry, I think Kent the child, ah, himself, doesn’t know.”
Blanche was relieved to hear that.
“Actually, it’s common for men to have sex with women, so what’s there to be ashamed of?” The Dean said softly, speaking without pressure as if he were just talking about the day’s weather.
Blanche let out an imperceptible sigh, her voice soft, “Dean, you don’t understand ……”
Kent was a world away from her, not to mention that she was just an assistant.
The dean gave her a deep look and quickly withdrew his gaze, as if he had seen nothing at all.
The road was not long, but the two of them seemed to walk for a long time, and only stopped when they reached the door of the canteen. The dean looked at the man who was playing with the children in the canteen and smiled slightly, “Kent the boy is the most patient person I have ever seen in the orphanage. He would always take a few days a month to come and see the children, bringing something they loved each time, and had previously allocated a sum of money down for the children to buy books ……”
The Dean’s voice was soft, as soft as if it was spoken only to her.
Blanche looked around the cafeteria and didn’t say anything for a long time, simply because she had never seen Kent like this before.
“Blanche, Kent is a boy who has never had anything I could worry about, but I am the only one who worries about his personal life, he doesn’t know how to take care of himself and you are the only one he has brought here, so I guess you are special to him.”
“I’m sorry Dean.” Blanche interrupted just in time to give her the words to her thoughts, “You may have misunderstood something, he brought me here today on a whim, don’t misunderstand ……”
“What do I have to misunderstand?” Dean bent his eyes and smiled, “I’m getting old, I may not be so accurate in reading people and things, but I can at least tell if that person is sincere, and you, I can tell ……”
She knew exactly what kind of feelings she had for Kent, and she knew exactly whether she was in pain or joy ……
Blanche lowered her eyes and bit her lip before saying, “Dean, I hope you won’t tell him about this.”
Her might not be able to continue to be his assistant for the rest of his life if he knew ……
The dean didn’t answer, just walked straight in, and she was busy following, her face a little white.
Kent saw her come in and pushed the untouched meal he had served aside in front of her, “This is what was just brought in, the children are eating all this, you don’t mind.”
“No, I don’t mind.” She immediately shook her head and obediently sat down and ate.
The food wasn’t really bad, there were vegetables, meat and rice.
She held her chopsticks in a dull manner for a long time.
Kent saw that her face was not right and couldn’t help but pat her shoulder, “Are you okay? Or are you still thinking about what just happened?”
Kent’s face was innocent, he didn’t mean to tease her, it was because he was holding Vincent that he wasn’t paying attention.
Blanche had forgotten about it, but she didn’t expect him to bring it up, and her white face turned red.
She raised her eyes and glared at him, “I wasn’t thinking about it, besides, I just touched your ass, I didn’t lose a piece of flesh!”
