The make-up classes were finally over, and the winter break had begun. After bidding each other a lively farewell, Lin Ge and Liu Tiancheng set off on their journey back to the orphanage.
Including his previous life, it had been many years since he had last visited. As he stepped onto the path toward home once more, he felt an unexpected sense of trepidation—the closer he got, the more nervous he became. Were Mother Director, Xiaozhao, and Xiaogang doing well? Lin Ge had not told them he was coming. What would their expressions be if they saw him suddenly appear? Thinking of this throughout the journey, Lin Ge couldn't help but feel a flutter of anticipation.
After a long, bumpy day and night, Lin Ge finally arrived in Changshi City. He hopped off the long-distance coach and took a local bus to the foot of Changshan Mountain. The orphanage was nestled halfway up the mountainside. Looking up at the familiar sight, Lin Ge was overcome with emotion. He had lived here for over a decade and knew every blade of grass and every tree on this mountain by heart. Back then, when he was a mischievous child, Mother Director would always follow behind him, calling out, "Little Lin Ge, slow down! Don't trip and hurt yourself."
