You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

Qiu Bi sat at his desk, carefully reviewing the children's medical reports, while Xi'er sat on the edge of the bed, listening serenely as Cecilia recounted her daughters' daily anecdotes.

Seven days have passed since Qiu Bi and Cecilia arrived at Cocolia Orphanage.

The two rested for three days at Cocolia's request, and then Qiu Bi began to conduct physical examinations on the children.

Because of the large number of children, Qiu Bi did not rush to recuperate or treat their bodies, but patiently conducted various physical examinations on all the children.

Today, Qiu Bi has finally completed the physical examinations for the children.

It is worth mentioning that Seele's "stigmata" have been revealed, located in the very center of her chest.

Upon learning of this, Cocolia seemed to be thinking about something, and her expression suddenly became quite worried. She told Qiu Bi and Cecilia to take good care of Seele, and then hurriedly left the orphanage, her destination unknown.

Most of the children at Cocolia Orphanage suffer from simple malnutrition, while a few have physical defects that require care and treatment to prevent irreversible "hidden injuries."

In addition, Qiu Bi also needs to take the children to the hospital for vaccinations to enhance their immunity against specific diseases.

Most children are terrified of hospitals, and Qiu Bi and Cecilia often have to coax them to go to the hospital. When they return to Cocolia Orphanage, the children are usually teary-eyed and have some sweets in their hands.

From then on, the orphanage had one more "rumor".

—After going out with Qiu Bi and Cecilia, you'll have a good cry, but you'll get delicious desserts.

As for the specifics, only children who have experienced it firsthand know.

Chapter 112 Lilia's Escape Plan Fails

Qiu Bi repeatedly looked through the children's medical examination reports, and finally separated out the medical examination reports of Seele, Rosalia, and Lilia.

The reason for separating the medical examination reports of these three girls is simple: these are the only three girls who have not yet been vaccinated.

Compared to the other children, Seele, Rosalia, and Lilia are very healthy, although the latter two show some signs of malnutrition and are rather thin.

Seele, on the contrary, was not malnourished, but rather seemed to be "overnourished," with a figure even better than some adult girls.

She's already a B cup at such a young age, and at only 13, she still has a long time to develop.

"Seele, come here for a second."

Qiu Bi looked at Xi'er's medical examination report and called out to Xi'er at the same time.

Upon hearing this, Xi'er immediately walked towards Qiu Bi.

"Brother Qiu Bi, is there something you need from Xi'er?"

"Well, now only you, Rosalia, and Lilia haven't been vaccinated."

"Seele will go and call Rosalia and Lilia right away."

“Seele, wait a minute—” Qiu Bi called out to Seele, “We’ll go with you to find Rosalia and Lilia.”

After the words were spoken, Qiu Bi put away the children's medical examination reports, then got up and walked towards the door.

Seele followed closely behind Qiu Bi, while Cecilia had already prepared to go out when Qiu Bi called Seele.

When there are no classes, the children in the orphanage often gather in the courtyard to play, and only Seele takes advantage of this time to come and look for Qiu Bi and Cecilia.

Seele had already guessed Cocolia's thoughts and knew that Cocolia wanted Qiubi and Cecilia to adopt her. Therefore, without Cocolia's prompting, she would take the initiative to get to know Qiubi and Cecilia.

Not long after, the three of them walked out of the orphanage's attic and arrived at the orphanage's courtyard.

Compared to the quiet attic, the orphanage courtyard was much more lively, with children playing everywhere, accompanied by laughter and frolicking.

Wow! It's Dr. Qiu and Cecilia!

Soon, children spotted Qiu Bi and Cecilia, and then, as if triggering a chain reaction, the children gathered around Qiu Bi and Cecilia.

Seele seemed to have anticipated this, and took a few steps back to avoid being pushed away by the other children.

Qiu Bi and Cecilia are very popular among children. After all, with Cocolia as their strict mother, the kind-hearted Qiu Bi and gentle Cecilia are bound to be loved by the children.

Cecilia looked helpless as she comforted the children one by one and then let them play on their own.

"Rosalia, Lilia, come here for a second."

Qiu Bi called out to Rosalia and Lilia, who were about to leave, which immediately attracted the attention of the other children.

In an instant, the children who had experienced that "rumor" revealed undisguised smiles. Although there was no malice, it made Rosalia and Lilia feel deeply puzzled and strange.

"Big brother, what do you need us for?"

Rosalia ran happily to Qiu Bi's side, then, as if she had thought of something, she asked excitedly, "Big brother, are you taking Rosalia and Lilia out to buy delicious snacks?"

When the first child brought back snacks, Rosalia began to envy the children who could go out with Chubi and Cecilia.

As for the tearful eyes...

We're all just kids, who doesn't cry?

Rosalia has a lot of experience in "faking tears" and often does so to avoid Cocolia's scolding.

"Uh... almost."

Qiu Bi did not tell Rosalia the truth, leaving her with beautiful illusions.

As expected, Rosalia cheered with joy upon hearing Qiu Bi's reply.

Then, Lilia gently tapped Rosalia's head to calm her down.

"Rosalia, don't exaggerate like that, the other kids will laugh at you."

"Hmph! What a joke it is, anyway, the other kids can only watch us eat dessert!"

Rosalia gave a soft hum and proudly puffed out her chest.

Lilia glanced at Rosalia but didn't say anything more.

"Alright, let's set off now."

Qiu Bi pressed Rosalia and Lilia's heads down, "Rosalia and Lilia, you'd better behave, or there won't be any dessert."

"For the sake of the dessert, Rosalia will behave herself!"

Rosalia made a solemn guarantee, but she is likely to be the least cooperative girl afterward.

Lilia didn't say anything more, she just nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Bi and Cecilia led Rosalia, Lilia, and Seele away from Cocolia Orphanage and headed towards the nearby hospital.

Cocolia Orphanage does not have security personnel, but because it is located in the city center, criminals usually do not break into the orphanage.

After all, besides a group of children, the Cocolia Orphanage had nothing of value. The criminals would be better off robbing a bank than breaking into the orphanage, as that would be more profitable.

……

Not long after, at the hospital entrance.

Lilia stared at the bustling hospital entrance, her legs feeling like lead, rooted to the spot.

"Lilia, stop standing there—come with us to the hospital right now."

Upon hearing this, Lilia turned her stiff head and looked at Qiu Bi, Cecilia, and Seele, as well as Rosalia, whose arm was being held by Cecilia.

Upon realizing that their destination was a hospital, Rosalia decided to run away.

Unfortunately, Rosalia was quickly captured by Cecilia.

At this moment, in Lilia's eyes, Qiu Bi and Cecilia seemed to be "devils" in human skin, and the hospital in front of them was a "devil's den" where the devils lived.

Lilia forced a stiff smile, trying to escape the terrifying fate that was about to befall her.

"Big brother, big sister... Lilia is very well-behaved, so Rosalia can give me the shot, I don't need to..."

“No, Lilia, you all need to get your shots—all the other kids have already had their shots, now it’s just you, Rosalia, and Seele who need to get them.”

Cecilia explained with a smile, her tone very gentle, but to Lilia's ears it was no less than "the devil's whisper."

Only now did Lilia understand why the other children looked so tearful when they returned to the orphanage.

As for those delicious and tempting desserts, they must have been "hush money" for Qiu Bi and Cecilia to keep the other children quiet.

This is a conspiracy!

Lilia was so convinced of this, and was acutely aware that she had already fallen into this conspiracy.

No!

We can't sit still and wait for death!

Thinking of this, Lilia silently looked around, devising a plan to escape the clutches of Qiu Bi and Cecilia and thus "escape to safety".

Seeing this, Rosalia, who knew Lilia very well, naturally guessed what Lilia was planning and immediately exposed Lilia's little scheme.

"Big brother, big sister, Lilia is trying to run away!"

"Rosalia! You're such a big idiot!"

— Lilia's escape plan was over before it even began.

Chapter 113 "But Lilia did not cry."

Because Rosalia, Lilia, and Seele have different personalities, their reactions to the syringe also differ.

Rosalia seemed to have encountered her "natural enemy." She wanted to run away but couldn't, so she could only shrink into Cecilia's arms and bury her face in Cecilia's broad chest, not daring to look at the slender syringe in the nurse's hand.

Although she knew the injection wouldn't hurt, Rosalia was extremely sensitive to the sensation of the needle piercing her skin due to her anxiety. Almost the instant the needle touched her skin, her body tensed up.

The next second, as the needle pierced her body, Rosalia instinctively trembled and almost cried out.

Perhaps because her younger sister was still watching her, or perhaps because there were many other children getting injections around, Rosalia bit her lip to keep herself from crying out loud.

— Few of the children around here come to get vaccinated; most have common colds or fevers.

"Rosalia, how are you feeling?"

Seeing Rosalia's tearful face, Lilia felt as if she were experiencing the pain of the needle piercing her body.

Rosalia sobbed silently a few times, then belatedly realized what was happening and looked at her arm with suspicion and uncertainty.

Cecilia held the cotton swab and gently pressed on the needle hole.

"Huh? Lilia, Rosalia doesn't feel any pain at all!"

"You idiot Rosalia, don't think Lilia will believe your nonsense! I'm not some clueless idiot. You were almost crying, how could it not hurt?"
