The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me! - Chapter 528

Chapter 528: Chapter 527: From Young to Old (3)
 

After finishing their tasks, Bo Yan and Xia Siyu just casually wiped their faces and combed their hair before heading to the cafeteria.

Xia Siyu had hardly worn any makeup during her days in the Northwest, and Bo had just applied some concealer, but now he was sweating so much and, since he had sent the makeup artist to help the driver unload the goods, there was no one around to do touch-ups.

——Actually, even if he hadn’t given the order, the makeup artist would’ve gone to help the driver anyway. Who would be so clueless as to hang around Bo and Xia Siyu and be a third wheel? Nobody in the entertainment industry would be that lacking in tact.

But after being busy for more than an hour, both of them were covered in dust. It was early autumn and still somewhat hot, so working up a sweat mixed with dirt gave them both a grimy appearance. However, neither of them cared too much, simply washing their faces and hands, putting on hats, and donning masks before heading straight to the cafeteria.

The large cafeteria was already packed with children. At Hope Primary School, there weren’t too many kids, but it was clear there was a shortage of teachers. Each grade had only one class, and some teachers were responsible for two or three grades. Altogether, though, there were about a hundred children in the cafeteria.

Under normal circumstances, teachers would accompany the children, but today was an exception because charity work was being done. Most teachers went to greet guests, and a few took care of the younger children. Older students, who were more self-disciplined, were left unattended.

Now, during the pandemic, everyone was also encouraged to wear masks in class. Among the supplies donated by Bo were masks and some medical equipment for teachers and children to use in case of emergency.

When Bo Yan and Xia Siyu first entered the cafeteria, a teacher assigned them to the main table. The child of the host family they were staying with was also there, so they waved at them.

Bo Yan and Xia Siyu exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, they walked over.

Although the teacher in charge was a bit surprised, if the two of them were willing to sit there, it was fine. After all, the dishes were allocated, and everyone’s meal was the same. And being just staff, they were free to sit wherever they preferred.

The children from the mountains were a bit shy. Even after the two sat down, only a few dared to come over and talk. Forget talking; even making eye contact was too shy for them, so they just sneakily took peeks.

Even with hats and masks on, the visible parts of Bo Yan and Xia Siyu made it obvious that they were a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Sitting upright, their skin was as white as milk. Even in sportswear, it was clear they both had good figures. Every now and then, a child looked at them curiously, and even with masks on, their eyes crinkled with smiles.

The host family’s child led them to get their food, and they followed suit, taking a tray each. In recent years, the country had invested significantly in education in impoverished mountain areas, and a typical primary school like this one would provide a meal with three dishes and a soup, followed by a box of milk.

To ensure the milk was consumed by the children, the school had a policy forbidding taking milk out of the cafeteria; it had to be consumed on the spot. This was to prevent the milk from being taken home for family members to drink or to be sold by families in dire poverty.

Once everyone had served their food and sat down at their places, they couldn’t yet begin to eat. Xia Siyu quietly asked the host family’s child, “What are you waiting for?”

“We’re waiting for the teacher and the kind people to arrive. We can’t start eating until the teacher says so.”
