But now the arena is gone, and the new sponsor, Char, seems to be a good and reliable person.

Xia opened the door and walked in silently, being extremely silent.

The yard is made of mud. Although it is swept very clean, anywhere where there are many children is a paradise for them to hunt for treasures.

At this time, there was a child squatting on the ground, poking the mud with a stick.

The sound of children chattering could be heard in the room, which sounded a bit noisy.

The child who was playing in the mud in the yard heard the creaking sound of the door being pushed open and turned his head subconsciously.

The moment he saw Vanessa, the little boy's eyes lit up immediately.

He ran forward with a look of innocent joy on his face.

"Sister Vanessa, are you back?"

The little boy's crisp voice was not small. He was about to step forward, but suddenly remembered his naughty behavior just now. He couldn't help but shrink back, hiding his hands behind his back, and the smile on his face seemed a little guilty.

It seems he got into trouble just now.

Vanessa looked at the dirty clothes on the little boy and felt helpless.

But before she could say anything, the children in the house who heard the noise ran out.

"Sister Vanessa~!"

"Sister is back!"

"We missed you so much, sis."

The children's chattering is full of joy and longing.

The expression on Vanessa's face gradually became gentle.

She reached out and touched the little lolis who came over.

The voice became eight degrees softer.

"Have you been good while your sister was away?"

The little lolis and little boys also showed great enthusiasm.

"Have!"

"Sister, we are very good."

"Messiel was not well behaved. She cried secretly last night."

"I cried because I missed Sister Vanessa, not because I was being naughty!"

"..."

The children were chattering, which was noisy but not naughty.

The children looked at the handsome older brother next to Vanessa with curiosity.

"Sister, who is this brother?"

"Is he my sister's boyfriend? He's so handsome!"

Vanessa's face turned slightly red, and there was some majesty in her eyes.

"You little brats, do you know what a boyfriend is?"

"A boyfriend is someone you will marry in the future."

"My boyfriend is the person my sister likes."

"Yeah, my boyfriend likes my sister too."

A cute little loli with fair skin walked up to Char, raised her head, and looked at Char with her big, blinking eyes.

"Brother, are you my sister's boyfriend?"

The little Loli is very cute, but her clothes are full of patches, and the patches don’t look very good.

Xia squatted down in front of her and looked at her with a smile.

"No, kid, don't say anything if you don't know what your boyfriend is, or your sister will be angry."

The children booed in unison with a hint of disgust.

"That's what I was saying. How could my sister, who is so unromantic, find such a handsome boyfriend?"

"That's right. If the patch is not fixed properly and the house is not repaired properly, I can't even support myself."

"When I grow up, I will go out and make money to support my sister!"

Xia's eyes swept across the faces of the children present and found that those who were complaining about Vanessa were a group of little demons.

Human children are a little shy and hide in the back.

There were also people who quietly defended Vanessa.

"Sister is very powerful."

"But such a powerful sister is also very tiring."

"Brother, can you be my boyfriend? You must protect me."

Vanessa's face turned redder and redder as she was teased.

Especially the merciless complaints from the little demons completely overturned her image.

She pretended to be annoyed.

"What are you doing being naughty?"

"If anyone acts naughty again, there will be no more cupcakes."

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of idiots became obedient and scattered like birds and beasts.

But a little head still popped out from behind the pillar.

"Sister, it's time for you to find a boyfriend. This guy is great, you better hurry up~!"

Vanessa felt more and more ashamed and wanted to grab the naughty kid and spank him.

But Xia grabbed her wrist.

Perhaps influenced by the little rascals, Vanessa felt her heart skip a beat when Xia suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Vanessa turned around and looked into Xia's eyes. After being stunned for three seconds, she quickly pulled her hand out of his.

He tried to make his voice sound fierce, as if he was drawing a line between himself and the enemy.

"what!?"

Char's voice was calm and did not change with her tone.

"Let's find a convenient place to talk. I have something to discuss with you."

When Vanessa heard this, she became alert.

He put his hands in front of him and looked Char up and down.

"What? You're not going to do anything to me... I'm warning you, even though I work at the Dream Bar, I earn my money through hard work. I won't do anything that would sell myself out!"

Xia looked at Vanessa speechlessly.

The look in his eyes is indescribable.

"Where did you think you were?"

"Didn't you say you wanted an advance on your salary?"

"I have also seen the situation in this orphanage."

"I want to talk to you about funding."

The guard on Vanessa's face relaxed, but soon she became confused again.

"Funding?"

Char nodded.

"Why did you provide funding? And you still say you have no plans against me!"

Char tapped her on the head.

“Though that’s not what I think.”

"But are you sure you want to discuss this here?"

As Char said this, he turned his eyes to the little carrot head who was peeking at the window sill.

Seeing him looking at them, the little kids lowered their heads and pretended they were not peeking.

He even deliberately made playful noises and pretended to be playing by himself.

But how could Vanessa not understand these naughty little guys she raised?

Although he has the innocence of a child, he is more often quirky and mischievous.

So Vanessa pulled Xia directly to her room.

"Let's talk about it here."

Vanessa's room is very simple, with nothing but a table, a stool and a bed.

The room was very clean, and because there were so few things, the small room even seemed empty.

As Char observed, he marveled in his heart.

It’s just like in the plot, this demon princess lives a very difficult and poor life!

After looking around, he returned his gaze to Vanessa.

"I've also checked. The buildings you built here are all dangerous. They can only barely provide shelter from the wind and rain."

"But if there is a heavy snowfall, I'm afraid this place will be buried directly, right?"

Vanessa did not refute this, but nodded directly.

"Yes, so I'm raising money to renovate it."

"Well, I'll invest 200,000 gold coins. Should that be enough for the renovation?"

As Xia spoke, he took out a booklet from his pocket, took out a pen and quickly wrote a note on it, then handed it to Vanessa.

Vanessa took it in a daze, then looked at the invoice of two hundred thousand in her hand, completely stunned.

She raised her head slowly and looked at Char.

Did she hear it correctly?

Two hundred thousand? Gold coins!

However, Xia Ya misunderstood her meaning.

"Isn't it enough?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head again and quickly wrote a check for two hundred thousand.

"Is this enough?"

Although they were just two light pieces of paper, Vanessa felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds.

She shook her head woodenly.

"Enough, it's...too much!"

After I finished speaking, the shock in my heart was relieved.

She gives one of the checks back to Shaya.

"These... there are more."

"Don't worry, I will work hard and repay you in the future!"

Xia shook his head and pushed the check back.

"I told you, this is my funding, you don't have to pay it back."

"I see the children are having a hard time too. It's hard to feed so many mouths on your own."

"I can't do anything else to help, except give some money to help with house repairs and renovations."
