Shi Jing stayed in Nuoyuan City for a few days. Every morning, he practiced boxing with Master Yin and visited the welfare home in the morning to play with the children.

Over the course of a few days, she became quite familiar with the people at the welfare home and learned a lot about the welfare home.

It turns out that Fang Ning didn't grow up in an orphanage; his parents died in an accident when he was nine. Unlike Shi Jing, he was not lucky enough to be a child who lost his protection and was left helpless.

When Fang Ning was young, he stuttered, which caused gossip in his hometown. So, his parents sold their house and moved to Nuoyuan City. Because he was gifted in his studies, his parents put a lot of effort into nurturing him.

Fang Ning was just as outstanding as they had hoped.

But fate played a cruel trick on him. When Fang Ning was nine years old, his parents passed away. Having lost his loved ones and with little money in the family, no one was willing to take him in.

Later, when there was no other way, he was sent to a nearby welfare home.

He had good grades and didn't change schools. However, because of his excellent grades, Fang Ning, who skipped several grades, didn't fit in with his classmates. After his parents passed away, he was even bullied at school.

Perhaps because they shared similar experiences of losing both parents, Shi Jing couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted after hearing about Fang Ning's situation.

If I used to see Fang Ning more as a friend, now I feel more like he's a younger brother.

Of course, the children in the welfare home are all special in their own way.

For example, Liangliang grew up in an orphanage. Because of his disability in his left foot, children of similar age to him were adopted one after another, but he was never adopted.

Xuexue, whom I mentioned before, suffered domestic violence and abuse when she was a child. Although she was later rescued, her health has never been very good.

And then there was that little boy named Xiao Xiao. When she first met him, she thought he was only two years old, but later she learned he was actually four and a half. He just looked very young because of a congenital heart condition, and his complexion was always poor…

The more Shi Jing interacted with these children, the more she realized how difficult their lives were, and the more fortunate she felt. In this second life, she had always been helped by a little fortune god, and apart from the hard work in her studies, she hadn't really suffered much hardship.

I have to say, it's incredibly lucky to have encountered the Little God of Wealth system.

After getting to know the people at the facility, Shi Jing naturally learned about their difficulties. The facility was operating normally, but a lack of funds was a real problem. With so many children, the medical expenses were substantial.

In particular, she learned from Luo Yuan that Fang Ning was working hard to save money for Xiao Xiao's surgery. Xiao Xiao's congenital heart and lungs were quite complicated, and the initial surgery would cost more than 100,000 yuan. After that, she would need to recuperate, and if the recovery was not good, she might even need a second surgery.

Since Dean Fang is unwilling to accept her donation as a minor, she should find an adult to help her.

After making up her mind, Shi Jing immediately thought of Qi Yan's brother. As a company that runs educational assistance programs, he naturally has more experience in this area than others. Shi Jing called Qi Jing, who readily agreed to arrange for an assistant to handle the matter.

With the matter settled, Shi Jing hung up the phone and turned around to see Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan looked at her, feeling the awkwardness of someone caught eavesdropping.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

"It's okay." Shi Jing hadn't expected that her phone call, which she had been making behind everyone's back, would still be overheard. "Just don't expose me."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuan appeared somewhat conflicted. Having been here for so many days, he naturally knew the other party's purpose. However, since the dean was unwilling to accept a child's donation, he couldn't say it was wrong.

Hearing Shi Jing ask for help on the phone, he was actually quite surprised.

If all goes well, Xiao Xiao may be able to have the surgery soon, which will greatly reduce Xiao Ning's stress.

But this goes against the dean's wishes...

Shi Jing made a "shh" gesture, looked around, and only felt relieved after confirming that there was no one else around.

"You heard it too, I really don't need this money, otherwise they wouldn't have agreed to help me."

Seeing that Luo Yuan was still hesitant, Shi Jing pressed on: "Look, whether I donate to charity or to a welfare home, it's all the same, right?"

Before they could reach an agreement, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the small classroom. Shi Jing was taken aback; this was the first time she had heard such a commotion in so many days.

Upon closer listening, the two realized something was amiss. Something seemed to have happened in the classroom, which explained the sudden commotion among the children.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly ran towards the small classroom.

Before they even reached the door, they saw Fang Ning rushing out of the house, carrying someone in his arms, looking panicked.

Fang Ning ran too fast; the two of them couldn't even see who he was hugging.

"What's wrong?" Luo Yuan asked in surprise.

Fang Ning didn't have time to answer and ran outside with her head down. Liangliang limped out and anxiously replied, "Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao can't breathe, he keeps panting."

Luo Yuan was startled and quickly chased after him.

Shi Jing realized that Xiao Xiao was sick. Just as she was about to turn around and follow her, Liang Liang quickly tugged at Shi Jing's clothes.

"Sister, I want to go too."

The child looked at her with pleading eyes.

Shi Jing couldn't bear to look at him like that, so she bent down and picked up the child: "If they agree to let you go with them, I'll take you."

She ran very fast and quickly caught up with him.

Fang Ning carried Xiao Xiao and Luo Yuan into the van in the yard. The van was quite spacious, and Shi Jing nimbly climbed in as well.

Luo Yuan frowned when he saw Liangliang: "Liangliang, why did you come along?"

"Brother Yuan, I want to go with you." The child pleaded, "Please, please."

"The hospital is so chaotic, we can't take care of you."

"I promise I'll stay with you and not run away, please, Brother Yuan."

Luo Yuan was at a loss with the child, and now was not the time to concern himself with this. He looked out of the car and saw the driver making a phone call outside. After saying a few words, he hung up and got back into the car.

After closing the car door, the driver started the car and said, "Let's go first, the hospital director will meet us at the hospital in a bit."

After starting the car, we didn't delay any longer and headed straight to the hospital.

Fang Ning held Xiao Xiao tightly, keeping the car windows open for ventilation. Xiao Xiao's breathing was heavy, and he coughed every now and then. Fang Ning could only try her best to gently pat the child's back to help him.

His face was deathly pale, and he stared intently at the child, fearing something terrible might happen to him.

This was the first time Shi Jing had ever seen the child so panicked since they had known each other.

But she couldn't say anything at that moment. She didn't know whether Xiao Xiao's condition had worsened or if something else had happened.

We can only hope that the problem is not serious.
