Who moved her body?

"Xiao Zhuang, I knew you'd come these next few days. You've never been late in the past three years."

Dean Zhang stood up, asked Zhuang Buyi to sit down, and then went to the water dispenser by the wall to make Zhuang Buyi a cup of tea.

"Every time the seasons are about to change, you send over shoes for the next season. Over the years, all the children here have been wearing the shoes you sent, and they've all become long-distance running champions." Dean Zhang put down his teacup and pointed to the trophies in the cabinet by the wall, saying, "Look, these are all awards the children won at sports meets, and they're all wearing shoes you sent."

Zhuang Buyi waved his hand, "It's all thanks to the children's hard work, I can't accept that."

"Haha, it's rare to be so humble at such a young age."

"By the way, is there some problem in the hospital?" Zhuang asked without hesitation. "When I came in just now, you didn't look too well, Dean. Has something happened?"

"Hey, it's not a matter for the hospital."

Dean Zhang plopped down in his chair, fuming, and said, "Someone just came in saying he wanted to see a child's file, and of course I wouldn't agree. If he hadn't been referred, I would have kicked him out long ago. He has no manners at all, acting like some big boss. I'm just angry because of him; everything's fine in the hospital, nothing's wrong."

"Who's being so arrogant? Are they in such a hurry to find their relatives that they can't seem to care about manners?"

"Looking for relatives?" Dean Zhang waved his hand dismissively and said, "Judging from that, it's more like seeking revenge than looking for relatives."

"Is this person looking for the children currently residing in the compound?"

"No, we're looking for a kid who left here ten years ago. He's twenty-seven this year. His name is something like Song, oh, Song Xiaoxian."

"Looking for Song Xiaoxian?" Zhuang Buyi put down his teacup and asked, "Why would he want to find someone who left the orphanage years ago?"

Dean Zhang shook his head. "Who knows? He won't tell me even if I ask."

"This person is too strange. I think we need to investigate him to rule out any ill intentions." Zhuang Buyi asked Dean Zhang seriously, "Do you know this person's name?"

"I don't know, but he asked me where the former dean was, and I told him. I think he's very likely to go see Dean Liu." Dean Zhang shuddered and asked, "Do you think this guy might have some bad intentions, like trying to take advantage of Song Xiaoxian or something?"

"I'll go see Dean Liu."

Zhuang Buyi stood up, walked to the door, turned around and added, "If this person comes back, remember to call me."

……

As the sun set, the barren, sun-baked island cooled down instantly, and a refreshing sea breeze swept in, driving away the last vestiges of the heat, making the island pleasantly cool.

This is the most comfortable time of day on the desolate rock island.

Papaya pushed Guan Jie, who was in a wheelchair, along the central track in the garden for a walk.

The undulating landscape, following the contours of the land, divides the 5,000-square-meter garden into countless smaller sections, making it impossible to know what the next turn will reveal. A gym with four glass walls is hidden among tall palm trees. From Guan Jie's vantage point, he can only see a few people warming up on the treadmills. The low shrubs under the palm trees obscure much of the view, preventing him from seeing those doing strength training.

Seeing Guan Jie looking at the gym, Mu Gua sat down on a nearby rock and said, "Are you getting a little itchy to work out after watching them?"

"A little."

"You can come when you're better. This gym is public, and anyone who works on the island can come. It has everything, and it's much more advanced than the gyms outside."

"Have you been inside?"

"I've been there, but I'm not interested in fitness." Papaya chuckled twice and said, "I originally wanted to go to the gym to get stronger, but I was too skinny, so I couldn't lift weights or anything. People even laughed at me, saying I was all about building bones, so I stopped going."

Guan Jie smiled as he glanced at the protruding collarbone of the papaya.

People at the gym can be basically divided into two types: one type buys a membership on a whim, aiming for a fitness goal that they will stick to and never give up, and even sets grand ideals for themselves, such as losing 30 pounds and sculpting a perfect muscle curve. However, within two months, these grand ideals are defeated by many reasons, such as being too busy at work or the weather being too cold. Gradually, the gym membership becomes a shower membership, and eventually, they are too lazy to even go to the shower.

Another type is the muscle monster. These people have a tenacity that ordinary people don't have. They regard fitness and building muscles as their highest ideal and pursuit, even to a magical degree. In their eyes, everything else is irrelevant except fitness. They won't give up fitness even if their girlfriend threatens to break up with them.

The latter type looks down on the first type, and of course, the first type won't mix with the second type, because the first type of fitness enthusiasts have already given up before they even advance to the second type.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for papayas to be ridiculed and discriminated against in the gym.

"I'll take you there when I'm better," Guan Jie said.

Papaya's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Seriously, if you use the right methods, you can have a muscular physique in less than three months."

"My goodness, are you telling the truth?"

Guan Jie nodded.

"Can I fight as well as you?"

Guan Jie shook his head.

Papaya sighed with a hint of disappointment, then quickly comforted me, saying, "That's from when you were a virgin, so naturally most people can't compare. Haha, but it's not bad to have developed such a muscular physique; at least you can go shirtless on the beach now."

Seeing Guan Jie's surprised expression, Mu Gua explained, "Don't underestimate the matter of going shirtless. It depends on the person. Some people think going shirtless is indecent and indecent. Let me tell you, the person who says that will definitely be the kind who is overweight and has a bulging chest. If you take your shirt off in front of that person, I guarantee that person's eyes will light up, their mouth will drool, and they will dream about your body all night."

Guan Jie sized up her figure, which resembled a papaya skewer.

"You're not overweight, so why don't you dare show your arms on the beach?"

"Hey, I'm not exactly a fatso, but I'm still pretty skinny, not much to look at," Papaya said, patting her chest. "I'm all skin and bones, girls would find me uncomfortable, and wouldn't want to look at me at all."

A man wearing glasses walked past Guan Jie, looking hurried and preoccupied.

Guan Jie's gaze followed the man away into the distance before returning to Mu Gua.

How do you know I've been practicing martial arts since I was a virgin?

Papaya was taken aback, then scratched his head and said, "It's no secret anymore, the higher-ups investigated you."

"Oh." Guan Jie chuckled and said, "Just a bodyguard, yet he managed to alarm some bigwigs. Looks like I have quite a bit of influence."

"You're such a good fighter, so naturally the higher-ups will take you seriously," Papaya said in a low voice. "These past few years, things have been especially strict on the island. Everyone coming and going has to have their identity verified. If it weren't for saving Big Brother, a stranger like you from out of town probably wouldn't even be able to get onto the island."

"It's just a pharmaceutical company, is such strictness necessary?"

Papaya stood up and pushed Guan Jie to continue walking forward.

"Who knows what's going on up there? Anyway, those researchers are all very secretive. Oh, by the way, there are two places you can't go on the island: the boss's private villa and the research and development center. I'll show you later."
