3 stood on front of the mirror she still looked quite plain but at least she looked better . She looked at the clothes the other children were wearing they all looked so nice . When new clothes were brought into the orphanage,  the children would always fight over them and she wasn't that strong so she couldn't get the best ones . The caretaker came into the room and everyone lined up according to height    . 
" No need for anyone to come just you 3 "
" Why maam ?are you sure it's just her ?"   A girl at about the same age said.  This girl was the cause of some of her problems here but then again who  would believe her . The girl was so sweet and amiable or so everyone thought and she was just the quiet and cold one .
"Yes I'm sure shi shi just her " the caretaker answered sweetly .
"Don't worry shi shi as cute as you are I'm sure you'll get adopted in no time but the people only asked for 3 "
"Come 3 lets go "   3 felt extremely happy . She wanted parents now someone just wanted her "maybe the pretty lady saw me staring at her and liked me or they could be her real parents who came back for her.  that had to be it"  she thought to herself.  They got to the living area .
"Is this her " the caretaker asked . The man picked up the necklace and looked at the inscription behind and then she pushed the her hair to her side then she touched her neck. 3 didn't know why he did that .
"This is her " .  " what's your name dear? The man asked her
"3 " she replied  simply . The man was a bit  confused. 
"Here in the orphanage if the child does not have a name we give the child a number so the people that want to adopt the child would name the child themselves " the caretaker  explained  .
"So what's my name"  3 asked the couple
The man looked at the woman and they seemed to be exchanging ideas .
"Xinyan , your name is Mu Xinyan and my name Shen Yue . Your fathers name is Mu Yinan " her eyes brightened up and a rare smile  was on her face . She couldn't even remember the last time she smiled.  The couple thanked the caretaker and left . The woman held her hand and she held the woman's hand tightly.  When they got to the gateman she said goodbye to the gateman and then the man opened the door and they were about to leave . Finally she was leaving the orphanage,  she was going to see what was ahead the path .
