Chen ngying was a girl from a single-parent family. Her parents divorced when she was eight, and since then, she lived with her mother. As for where her father had gone or what he was doing, her mother never ntioned it.
When a family lacks a man, it's like missing the backbone, without a pillar of support. Thus, Chen ngying's mother had to take on the responsibility of raising her.
That year, when Chen ngying was in her third year of middle school, her mother often pushed a small cart to the street night market to set up a stall. They mainly sold snacks like spicy hotpot and barbecue. On good nights, they could earn about two hundred yuan.
At the ti, Chen ngying was the class monitor. For so reason, she never spoke about her family situation to her classmates. She was afraid they would laugh at her if they knew.
One night, as usual, she was setting up the stall with her mother on the street. Just when there were quite a few custors, her mother suddenly clutched her stomach and squatted to the ground, her face pale. She was holding her abdon tightly, trembling with pain, unable to stand up.
At that mont, Chen ngying was completely stunned. She was just fifteen years old, and seeing her mother in pain on the ground, she could only run over to inquire, check on her, and then seek help from others.
However, the nearby custors all stood up one by one, so observing, so hastily leaving after throwing down money, completely ignoring the cries for help from the fifteen-year-old girl.
Just when Chen ngying felt utterly helpless, a figure rushed in from the crowd.
"Monitor, what's wrong?"
"Ye Xiaofan?"
When Chen ngying saw Ye Xiaofan, she didn't react at first. But when she saw soone she knew, it was like grabbing a lifeline.
"Ye Xiaofan, my mom, my mom doesn't feel well for so reason."
"Don't worry, don't worry."
Ye Xiaofan threw down these words, imdiately rushed to the middle of the road, and stopped a taxi with his arms wide open. Then, with the help of two people, he got her mother on the car and headed to the hospital.
Ye Xiaofan didn't get in the taxi at that ti. Of course, Chen ngying knew that he was just a classmate, and being able to help her stop the car and get her mother on it was already sothing she was very grateful for.
At the hospital, during the testing, examination, and diagnosis, Chen ngying was on the verge of collapse. Her mother was her only support, and if sothing went wrong, what would she do then?
The wait was torturous, and the loneliness and helplessness made her fearful of the hospital, terrified that the illness would take her mother away from her.
"Monitor, how is it? Is Auntie alright?"
At this mont, the voice she used to find annoying rang again, yet this ti, it filled her with surprise and a bit of touch.
Ye Xiaofan ca. After waiting for over an hour at the hospital, he suddenly appeared and found her again.
"You, why are you here?"
"Oh, I helped pack up your stall and placed it under my building. How's it going now?"
"Who is Lin ihua's family mber?"
Just then, the doctor's voice ca over. Without getting the chance to thank Ye Xiaofan, Chen ngying hurried over.
"I am."
"The patient's condition is stable now. However, her kidney function is weak with signs of failure. It would be best to undergo surgery within a month. Besides, the patient hasn't been paying attention to rest and diet for a long ti. Her blood sugar is very low. Even if surgery is needed, she should rest for a week first," the doctor said blandly, holding the dical record.
"Surgery? How much will it cost?"
"Hold on, I'll make a list for you."
When Chen ngying received the list and saw the number on it, she stood there, stunned.
A surgery fee of 300,000 yuan was undoubtedly an astronomical figure for their family. And to raise that money in a month was simply impossible.
Returning to the ward, after briefly introducing Xiaofan's identity, Chen ngying hid the list and smiled to comfort her mother, saying the illness wasn't serious, and they'd be fine after so ti in the hospital.
That night, Ye Xiaofan stayed with her. Initially, her mother urged him to go ho, but he just smiled and said it was fine, staying until school the next day.
Afterward, Chen ngying took leave from school and called her mother's family one by one, but in the end, she only borrowed over 8,000 yuan. Desperately, she had to call her father's side. Except for her grandfather, who was willing to give 5,000 yuan, others all made excuses, saying they had no money.
These so-called relatives wouldn't help, let alone outsiders.
But ironically, it was these outsiders who saved her mother.
Three days later, when she returned to school, to her surprise, Ye Xiaofan was running from class to class with a big donation box. Even the school broadcast was helping raise funds for her mother.
At that mont, Chen ngying couldn't control her tears anymore, they stread out. Yes, when the doctor handed her the list, Ye Xiaofan was beside her. And the guy she thought was always unmotivated and idle was now so actively helping her.
What surprised her was that their small street stall cart was brought to school by Ye Xiaofan and had already gotten the principal's approval to sell snacks at school, and business was booming.
"Wow, the skewers sold for one yuan outside are three here?"
"Is this just skewers? It's care. Look, to help a classmate's mother, you get to do a kind act and eat sothing. Such a great deal for three yuan, even thirty or three hundred yuan, I'd be willing to give."
This was a conversation Chen ngying overheard while Xiaofan was selling. He was serious, or rather, since the first day she t him, that was just him. Even if he seed carefree and mischievous, he was doing what he wanted to do.
To this day, Chen ngying couldn't believe this guy managed to gather 350,000 in two weeks. But when he handed her a bank card with a smile, she cried once again.
"Here, take it, Auntie's waiting."
"Thank you, thank you..."
At that ti, Chen ngying didn't realize how much her feelings for Ye Xiaofan had changed. Later, her mother successfully underwent surgery. Although she had missed so school, she still achieved excellent results and got into City Seventh Middle School.
As fate would have it, they t again at high school, in the sa class no less. Ye Xiaofan seed to slowly forget about the help he had given her family, always greeting her as the old monitor whenever they t, with the sa smile from the past to the present.
However, Chen ngying was changing. He remained that nonchalant, idle person, but she slowly beca attracted to his personality, observing from a distance, quietly watching. Until she heard he liked a girl nad Liu Siyan...
