This shy boy is a poor student she sponsors, named Du Yifeng.
There is a very famous private charity club for student aid in the capital. Every semester, this charity club will call on caring people in the society to sponsor poor students. This is how Ye Chu found Du Yifeng.
At that time, Du Yifeng had just entered junior high school, and Ye Chu began to sponsor his tuition fees from then on. During holidays, Ye Chu asked the volunteers of the club to buy some daily necessities and send them to Du Yifeng's family.
The volunteers of the charity club will visit poor students regularly. After each visit, the volunteers will send the sponsors recent photos of the students, as well as the students' recent academic performance and family status, etc., in order to allow sponsors to easily understand the situation of the students they sponsor.
The charity organization will not disclose any other information about the sponsor to students except the name of the sponsor. The sponsored students will occasionally write thank-you letters to the sponsor.
Ye Chu often receives thank-you letters from Du Yifeng, and she is very happy every time she receives a letter.
Now is summer vacation, and Du Yifeng will go to college next semester.
After Du Yifeng finished the college entrance examination, the volunteers also sent her Du Yifeng's academic situation. Du Yifeng did very well in the exam, and Ye Chu was waiting for Du Yifeng to decide which college to go to, and then continue to sponsor.
But now.
How did Du Yifeng become a courier? Summer job? She didn't seem to have heard that the courier she was working with hired summer workers.
While Ye Chu was wondering, Du Yifeng had already walked in front of her.
Du Yifeng's shy expression was filled with guilt and apology. After standing in front of Ye Chu, he bowed his head and asked politely, "Excuse me, are you Miss Ye?"
Ye Chu came to her senses and wanted to ask him why he became a courier, but changed her mind.
She would ask the charity organization about the situation first.
Ye Chu said gently, "Yes, who are you?"
"I'm a deliveryman for Tiantong Express. I lost the express package from Miss Ye's store a few days ago due to my negligence. You can see how much you want to compensate, and I will compensate you." Du Yifeng said in fear.
Ye Chu: "Why did you come in person?"
When doing e-commerce, you often send and receive express delivery. It is not uncommon for express delivery to have problems, such as missing items. Generally, after checking with WeChat and the express delivery customer service, the compensation can be directly transferred, and there is no need for the courier to apologize in person.
Du Yifeng looked even more shy: "Ms. Ye has cooperated with our express delivery company for many years, but I lost Miss Ye's express delivery. I feel bad if I don't come in person to apologize."
He is indeed a very polite child.
Ye Chu smiled gently: "It's okay. When doing e-commerce, you often send and receive express delivery. It is normal to have mistakes. You don't need to feel guilty."
"Thank you for your understanding, Miss Ye. How much compensation do you want? I will transfer it to you now." Du Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief and spoke sincerely.
Ye Chu asked, "Did you just start working?"
"Yes, I started last month."
"Summer job?"
"Long-term."
"..." Ye Chu couldn't help but frown, and his doubts and worries deepened.
It was estimated that the family had encountered great financial difficulties. Du Yifeng looked for a job right after the college entrance examination, and he actually found a long-term job. Does that mean Du Yifeng doesn't want to go to college?
"Ms. Ye, how much is the compensation for the express delivery? I will transfer it to you immediately." Seeing that Ye Chu didn't say anything, Du Yifeng spoke again and looked up at her at the same time.
Du Yifeng was slightly stunned when he saw her.
Two days ago, several classmates made an appointment to run together. One classmate said that he heard that the person who sponsored him was Ye Chu, the most beautiful girl in the capital. He even took out his mobile phone and showed him Ye Chu's photos on the Internet. Du Yifeng is still shocked until now.
But Du Yifeng hardly ever goes online, and he didn't know that Ye Chu ran an e-commerce store. Because of his shy personality and the guilt he felt for losing the express delivery, he quickly glanced at Ye Chu when he entered the store. After confirming that it was her, he didn't dare to look at Ye Chu directly again.
Now standing in front of Ye Chu and looking at her face to face, Du Yifeng recognized that she was Ye Chu, the most beautiful woman in the capital.
Is she also his sponsor?
Du Yifeng couldn't be sure, after all, he didn't know where his classmates heard about it that day.
But he had a hunch in his heart that Ye Chu was indeed the kind-hearted person who sponsored him.
Thinking about it, Du Yifeng couldn't help but look at Ye Chu steadily, and he felt more and more that Ye Chu was the person who sponsored him, and his heart was unexpectedly excited.
Ye Chu looked at his shy face with a hint of excitement, and was confused.
Du Yifeng is a simple-minded person, and his thoughts are written on his face.
Why is he looking at her with such gratitude and excitement? Could it be that he knows that she is his sponsor? How did he know?
Ye Chu's brows furrowed a little more.
When Du Yifeng saw her frowning, he came to his senses and realized that staring at people was very rude and unpleasant.
In his opinion, Ye Chu was unhappy to be stared at by him.
Du Yifeng's shy face suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head hurriedly to explain: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't stare at Miss Ye, it's so rude."
Ye Chu was stunned for a moment, then said gently: "It's okay, I just frowned because I was thinking about something."
Du Yifeng was still very flustered and guilty, and lowered his head even more.
Ye Chu sighed secretly.
Perhaps because she has been supporting him since he was in junior high school and has always been aware of his situation, Ye Chu has a sense of care and love for Du Yifeng as a student.
How to describe this feeling? Ye Chu didn't know how to describe it. It was probably the care and love of the elders for the younger generation.
So when Ye Chu saw Du Yifeng's anxious look at this moment, she felt uncomfortable, as if she had bullied the flower of the motherland, and was full of guilt.
Although Du Yifeng has finished the college entrance examination and is no longer a flower, she has supported him since he was in junior high school, and it feels like watching him grow up.
And isn't there another saying? A strong youth means a strong country, and Du Yifeng is also a youth.
Ye Chu quickly said in a gentle voice: "There is no rush for the compensation. You go back first and I will deal with it after I am done with my work."
Hearing this, Du Yifeng became more certain of his guess. Miss Ye seemed to not want him to pay the compensation. Was it because she knew he was poor?
Thinking about it, Du Yifeng couldn't help but look up at her again. He almost asked her if she was a kind person who had sponsored him for many years, but he couldn't ask when the words came to his lips.
Ye Chu looked at his panicked expression and was worried that he would mess up the boy, so he quickly said in a gentle voice: "You go back first."
Du Yifeng hesitated, but still nodded obediently, "Goodbye, Miss Ye."
"Goodbye."
Du Yifeng left.
The gentle smile on Ye Chu's lips gradually faded.
He Linzhi was already gossiping a lot, and immediately came over to ask, "What's going on? Isn't this the student you've been supporting? Is he no longer in school?"
Ye Chu frowned and said, "I don't know what's going on either. I'll ask the volunteer club right away."
