The variety program for “Endless Challenge” was in the midst of preparation. In the past, “Endless Challenge” mostly invited male guests, but there were fewer female guests. This time, it balanced the ratio of men and women and divided it equally between five and five. Hence, the production team reevaluated the difficulty of the challenge and was adjusting the relevant projects. They did not start filming immediately.
Xia Wanyuan was happy to be idle. She stayed in Qing University all day. Other than teaching classes, she attended classes in all the classrooms.
The Qing University gathered the top educational resources in the country. Xia Wanyuan listened to classes everywhere and benefited greatly.
The students of Qing University were not used to this special “classmate” at first. Later on, everyone especially welcomed her.
When Xia Wanyuan went to listen to other people’s classes, she had never seen Yu Qian. However, when Xia Wanyuan taught herself, Yu Qian would definitely sit in the classroom on time and listen to Xia Wanyuan’s lecture with a familiar gentle smile.
After ending the morning classes, Xia Wanyuan put away her textbook, ignored the gentle gaze in the classroom, and walked out of the school.
Watching Xia Wanyuan leave, the corners of Yu Qian’s lips curled up.
Since Brother liked this woman, why not bring her back and let her specially teach him?
It was the hottest time of the afternoon. The sun burned on the cement ground. Xia Wanyuan held an umbrella and walked out of the school gate. The chauffeur Jun Shiling had sent was already waiting by the road.
“Pretty Sister, do you want to buy flowers?”
Xia Wanyuan was walking when a timid voice came from behind.
Xia Wanyuan turned around and met a pair of beautiful deer-like eyes.
A little girl who was only about ten years old was wearing a washed-out flower dress. She was thin and small, but she was cleaned up very well.
Xia Wanyuan looked at the lotus flowers in the little girl’s basket. “Yes, give me all of these.” As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she took out her wallet from her bag.
China rarely used cash nowadays. Xia Wanyuan only had more than a thousand dollars in her bag. She placed all of it in the little girl’s basket and reached out to take the lotus flower.
Xia Wanyuan turned to leave, but the little girl blocked her way.
“Pretty Sister, one flower costs five dollars. There are ten flowers here. You gave me too many.” The little girl took out fifty dollars, folded the rest carefully, and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.
“Take the rest as a gift from me to buy candy for you. Take it.”
“Sister, you can’t. My teacher taught me that I shouldn’t receive a reward for nothing. Thank you for buying my flowers.” The little girl’s eyes were clear like an untainted lake.
“Are you in school?” Xia Wanyuan asked.
“Mm.” The little girl nodded. “Mommy sent me there. Daddy didn’t want me to go at first, but Mommy said that girls don’t have to work as hard as her in the future if they studied.”
Xia Wanyuan reached out to take the money from the little girl and smiled at her. “Then work hard.”
“Mm!” The little girl nodded heavily. Then, she took the fifty dollars from the flowers and ran away happily.
In the following week, Xia Wanyuan would buy a basket of flowers from the little girl every day after classes.
While chatting with the little girl, Xia Wanyuan realized that the little girl lived with her mother in the suburbs.
“Daddy doesn’t want us. He doesn’t like that I’m a girl.” Perhaps she had been sad too many times. Now that she was talking about this cruel matter, the little girl’s eyes were actually filled with calmness. “When they get divorced, I’ll follow Mommy and help her earn money. I’ll go to school properly and let Mommy lead a good life in the future.”
“Definitely.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.
When they got home, Xia Wanyuan got Jun Shiling to help investigate the young lady’s background. Jun Shiling acted quickly. Fifteen minutes later, everything about the little girl’s life was placed in front of Xia Wanyuan.
At the same time, because they had not received a response from the award recipient for a long time, and seeing that the award was about to lose its effectiveness, the Weibo official obtained permission to send the registered identity of the winner to Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan opened the winner’s information and went back to look at the little girl’s mother’s name.
It clearly showed that
It was the same person.
At that moment, in the low shantytown of Beijing suburbs,
The drunk man kicked the locked wooden door, waking the mother and daughter from their sleep.
By the time they reacted, the man had already taken out a pile of change from the hole under the bed and stuffed it into his pocket.
“B * tch, and you little good-for-nothing! How dare you secretly hide the money? Do you think I don’t know?” The man swayed his body out of the door and spat on the ground.
She had not given birth to a son for more than ten years, and she wanted to send a money-losing good to school? Dream on!!
Behind her, the desperate cries of the woman and child lingered in the long night.
