Charity Activities
After Aurora finished filming their first group variety show and returned to China, Yi Jingchen unexpectedly...
I have a cold!
Maybe it was from hanging on the tree for too long, exposed to the Arctic wind, that it got cold. Or maybe it was from being unfamiliar with the climate in a foreign country and contracting some virus.
This cold came on very aggressively, accompanied by fever and severe cough, making him feel very uncomfortable.
When the idiot Silver Gradient returned home, his bed suddenly started burning. He'd been half asleep most of the night, and his bedmate, who was sleeping with him, had nearly been roasted to a crisp.
It meowed, and when Yi Jingchen didn't respond, it put its paw on his forehead, then retracted its paw due to the burn.
The main body jumped out of bed and scratched the door hard, waking up Yan Zhichen and Shu Lang in the next room, and sent the almost burnt Yi Jingchen to the hospital for an injection.
The next day, Yi Jingchen returned to the dormitory after his fever had barely subsided.
The evil capitalist Liu Sui made an exception and gave him two days of vacation, allowing Yi Jingchen to stay in the dormitory to recuperate.
"How could I be sick?"
Yi Jingchen was wrapped in a quilt, sitting on the sofa with a flushed face.
He held a hot ginger pear drink in his hand. It tasted a bit strange, but he was forced to finish it.
Around his neck was a bundle of green onions tied by Li Jibai, and a necklace of garlic. The anime said this could drive away viruses.
"How come you don't get sick?" You Lingyu walked to the sofa and tucked the quilt in for him.
Du Xingwei came over with a thermometer, shone it on his forehead, and the electronic voice reported: 37.5℃.
Luchu said quickly, "You still have a slight fever. I'll get you a fever-reducing patch."
"Luckily, Brother Lang and Teacher Xiaoyan are light sleepers, so they kept you company for a long time last night. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been discovered until today."
"We should thank the original body. It was the one that caused those two to quarrel."
"Yeah, Shu Lang thought the original body wasn't clean enough and felt bad for it."
Yi Jingchen tilted his head back and let Luchu apply the children's fever-reducing patch. He continued intermittently, "Strange, idiots shouldn't catch colds."
Li Jibai folded his arms, his face serious, "I'm also skeptical about this theory now."
Tian Xitu was shocked. "Is this even a theory?"
Yi Jingchen didn't have the energy to speak. He held the cup and gulped down more hot water.
Mu Gan came out from behind, holding a milk can, trying to give him some "nutritional supplements", but You Lingyu discovered him in time and pulled him away.
The teammates surrounded the high-temperature cat and observed him for a while. Finding that his body temperature showed no signs of rising further, they helped the team leader go upstairs to rest.
In the large dormitory on the third floor, Yan Zhichen and Shu Lang woke up in the middle of the night and were catching up on sleep in their room.
The other teammates still had work to do, so after settling the stupid silver tabby, they went about their own business.
"Little Captain, go to sleep."
"If you feel unwell, call your brother or give us a call."
"Okay~" Yi Jingchen was very touched.
[ah! ]
[Thanks to Heaven, Earth, Team, Friendship and Love!]
Then, Du Xingwei was heard mumbling as he walked out, "If he really burns it, are we responsible?"
"No need," Tian Xitu replied, "but our dormitory will become a haunted house."
“How terrifying.”
"Let's take care of that stupid cat."
Yi Jingchen: ...
[Foreword retracted.]
[Teammate love is my biggest misconception about you!]
Yi Jingchen still had a low fever and took some cold medicine which contained a sleeping aid.
After his teammates left, he fell into a drowsy sleep for a while.
The main body probably knew that Yi Jingchen was not feeling well.
After eating Can Can, he washed his face by the bed, jumped onto the bed nimbly, crawled in along the corner of the quilt, found a comfortable position to lie down without making any sound.
The two silver tabby cats slept for a while, and when they woke up, it was already past noon. He heard someone knocking on the door outside.
Yi Jingchen is used to living with his teammates and does not lock his room at night.
Every time Shu Lang and Yan Zhichen called him to get up, if there was no response after knocking on the door, they would just push the door open and come in.
The person knocking on the door outside was very patient and knocked for a long time, neither too fast nor too slow.
Yi Jingchen sat up drowsily and said in a hoarse voice, "Come in."
“Squeak—”
The door of the room opened and a woman with long green hair and a high-slit cheongsam walked in.
In a trance, Yi Jingchen thought he was delirious due to fever and started dreaming in broad daylight.
After taking a closer look, I realized it was the makeup artist.
"Why are you dressed like that when you come to visit the patient?" Yi Jingchen propped himself up and asked in a low voice.
"I was attending an event when I heard from little JB that you were seriously ill, so I rushed over without even changing my clothes." The makeup artist said as she came to his bed and took out a can of yellow peaches from her exquisite bag.
"You're not half dead, are you?" Yi Jingchen opened his mouth, took a bite of a yellow peach, and asked vaguely, "How did you get in?"
The dormitory they live in has three passwords, making it impossible for strangers to break in.
"Little JB, help me ask the administrator to unlock the outer door. As for the inner door, your roommate just opened it and let me in."
As the makeup artist said this, she fed him two more yellow peaches and took his temperature again.
37.1℃, the fever has subsided.
The makeup girl showed a disappointed expression.
"If I had known it was only this bad, I wouldn't have come." The makeup lady showed a look of disgust. "I thought I'd see you catch a cold."
“…” Yi Jingchen was speechless.
[Even if it's just a pretense, can you show some concern for me?]
The makeup artist spoke a few more words to Yi Jingchen, and then noticed two heads peeking in from outside.
After looking carefully, I found that it was Du Xingwei and Tian Xitu who had finished training early and returned.
When they came back, they happened to meet Shu Lang and Yan Zhichen who were going to training. They heard that there was a second girl in the dormitory, so they came to take a look.
——The first girl is the cook.
Du Xingwei speaks directly and has no ulterior motives.
Seeing the makeup artist sitting beside Yi Jingchen's bed, looking very intimate, I couldn't help but imagine some idol drama plots in my mind.
"Hey, are you guys super good friends?" Du Xingwei asked.
"Not really." Before Yi Jingchen could object, the makeup lady replied, "At most, we have a fixed cooperative relationship."
"But you came here specially to visit the patient." Tian Xitu had never experienced love, but he knew that when a girl visited the patient, she must have a good impression of him.
The makeup lady didn't show any ambiguity at all and said calmly, "Oh, because he is my brother."
"Do you treat him as your younger brother?" Du Xingwei understood the most superficial meaning.
"Yi Jingchen?" Tian Xitu looked at Yi Jingchen, thinking that before he looked for brothers everywhere, he actually looked for sisters everywhere.
Bad cat!
"I really am her brother." Yi Jingchen explained innocently, "Our ancestors' ancestors are all from the same family."
Yi Jingchen mentioned before that he knew the makeup artist sister through his grandmother Yi Huizhen.
Yi Huizhen suffered countless oppressions and had many of her talents stifled, so she respects her grandson's preferences and interests very much.
After all, she is old and cannot fit into the circle of young people, and she is afraid of finding someone to hurt Yi Jingchen.
You can only find someone in your network who knows you well, is trustworthy, and has the same interests as you.
Yi Jingchen was abandoned by his mother before he was old enough to understand things, so he no longer had any contact with his mother's relatives.
After being introduced by Yi Huizhen, the two people chatted unintentionally and found out that they were related.
However, being in the same 2D circle, neither of them cared too much.
"ah?!"
Du Xingwei and Tian Xitu were stunned.
Senior Mushroom is so cute and brainless that he just says what’s on his mind, “I thought you had no relatives.”
Yi Jingchen argued, "I didn't come out of a crack in the rock."
Tian Xitu: "Sorry, we forgot."
Yi Jingchen: ...
[You two, it's really easy to accept unnatural settings.]
[No wonder you believed last time that I had traveled from the Warring States Period.]
.
The next day, Yi Jingchen's cold had not yet completely healed.
But the charity event has already been scheduled and cannot be delayed.
The organizer specifically mentioned Yi Jingchen for this charity event, as it is his personal activity.
Even so, the operating company still sent Assistant Fang to follow.
Compared to the staff of nyanya company, Assistant Fang has followed Yi Jingchen many times and naturally knows him better.
Yi Jingchen is in poor health and needs Assistant Fang to keep an eye on him to avoid any problems.
Yi Jingchen got out of the car. Outside the car was not a photo studio, nor a grand event venue, but a scorching sun and yellow earth.
Under the scorching sun and on the loess, there is an isolated school.
This public welfare activity is mainly aimed at poverty-stricken education. In order to make it more persuasive, the organizers directly invited public figures with strong appeal to come to the scene to make appeals and attract the attention of all sectors of society.
At the event site, there was only a small event poster.
In the center of the poster, the silhouettes of Yi Jingchen and first-line artist Kou Ya are placed side by side in the center of the poster.
The moment Kou Ya saw the poster, his mood sank.
Who is Yi Jingchen? He is the same size as me.
If the rivals found out that he was in the same category as a young idol who just debuted on the poster, I don’t know how they would try to criticize him.
"Who photoshopped the poster?" Kou Ya asked.
"It's the organizer's fault, but Yi Jingchen was specifically asked for, so there's nothing we can do."
In recent years, the country has been committed to eliminating poverty caused by education, so that all children have access to education and can change their destiny through knowledge.
Major mainstream media and entertainers also say similar things.
Before the start of the school year every year, the government organizes similar activities in the hope that people in remote areas will pay attention to education and send their children to school.
Although there is no appearance fee for charity events, influential celebrities in the circle are vying to participate, hoping to establish a positive image.
Even though Kou Ya had some objections, he could only endure it and didn't dare to quarrel with her.
Of course the organizers knew that Kou Ya would feel embarrassed if the poster was designed like this.
But charitable organizations do not belong to the entertainment industry and do not follow the same rules as the entertainment industry.
In terms of poverty alleviation and education, Yi Jingchen's contribution is far greater than Kou Ya's.
What's more, the news station recommended him by name and he was endorsed by the official.
Even if reporter Xiao Yi is "released", he is still a member of the station, and they will of course support their own child.
Kou Ya knew that he had no choice but to pretend that he didn't care and stood there waiting for Yi Jingchen to come over and say hello.
Yi Jingchen arrived late and was helped out of the car by his assistant. He seemed not to see Kou Ya and walked directly into the classroom that served as a temporary lounge in the school.
A flash of resentment flashed in Kou Ya's eyes. He turned around, glanced at the dilapidated classroom, and returned to the nanny car to enjoy the air conditioning.
After a while, the staff came to call him and informed him that the activity had started.
In today's charity event, the organizers wanted to let everyone deeply understand the significance of education and the country's contribution to basic education, so they let them immerse themselves in a day of Hope Primary School.
Guests participating in the event need to act as volunteers to take care of the children in the school.
When Kou Ya received the notice, he thought that like other activities, he could just say a few words and be done with it.
However, he didn't know that the Hope Primary School in the backward area was completely different from what he had imagined.
Most Hope Primary Schools are built in places with relatively poor conditions, with several surrounding villages or even townships relying on one primary school.
Some children live far away from home and stay at school for lunch.
To take care of them, you have to start by preparing lunch for hundreds of people.
Kou Ya became famous at a young age and made a fortune early on.
Normally, when we eat fruit, we need others to help us prepare it. When have we ever washed our hands and made soup?
What’s even worse is that the school kitchen is extremely shabby, without even a dishwasher or a range hood.
The teacher in the school was responsible for arranging the work. Seeing that Kou Ya didn't know where to start, he assigned him to do the simplest tasks of picking and washing vegetables.
This charity event has received high attention from the higher authorities. It has been reported and filmed by many official media outlets and will also appear on the evening news.
Thinking about the ratings for the evening news, Kou Ya put on a professional performance and pretended to be happy as he started to deal with the muddy vegetables.
After a while, Yi Jingchen came in, followed by a photographer who was specifically there to take pictures of him.
The teacher who assigned the work saw him come in, pointed outside and said, "Go outside and play with them."
In order to maintain his image, Kou Ya endured the nausea and handled the dirty vegetables.
The vegetables were all grown in nearby rural areas, and some were fertilized with organic fertilizer, which made Kou Ya feel even more nauseous.
When he heard that Yi Jingchen didn't have to work, he became even more unbalanced and subconsciously called out to Yi Jingchen.
"I'm too busy, please lend a hand."
Yi Jingchen stopped and looked at the vegetable leaves at his hand. Without saying anything, he walked over, picked out the leaves that Kou Ya had pulled off, and put them back into the basin.
"What are you picking those up for?"
"These leaves are good and edible." Yi Jingchen said, and to Kou Ya, his tone didn't sound very good.
Kou Ya was a smart guy. He immediately thought that Yi Jingchen was using him to screw over his frugal personality. He suddenly became even more resentful and secretly pushed the unprocessed dishes to his side.
Yi Jingchen sat on a small stool, picking vegetables carefully.
He is not a character who is good at cooking. Yi Jingchen is not too frugal when it comes to eating.
However, the vegetables and rice that the children of Hope Primary School usually eat are mostly provided free of charge by nearby villagers.
They send the best food to schools without asking for any compensation, just hoping that the children can eat better.
The kindness expressed in this should be cherished doubly.
Yi Jingchen picked the vegetables and was about to get up.
The school teacher arranged for Kou Ya to fetch water and wash vegetables. He rolled his eyes and asked Yi Jingchen to "give a hand" again.
"Sorry," Assistant Fang stood in front of Yi Jingchen and explained, "The well water here is too cold. My artist can't touch cold water right now."
Kou Ya knew it was an excuse as soon as he heard it. He glanced at Yi Jingchen's stomach playfully, "Why? Is he a woman?"
Yi Jingchen frowned and said gloomily, "This question is very offensive. Women's normal physiological phenomena should not be joked about."
Kou Ya was a little embarrassed.
Assistant Fang explained, "My artist is sick, and this is the emergency medical record from the hospital."
The moment the emergency bill was taken out, the situation was reversed.
Assistant Fang knew that things were likely to go wrong around Yi Jingchen, so he deliberately carried the emergency form with him, which actually came in handy.
Following a troublesome artist made her grow rapidly.
Kou Ya took a look and found not only emergency records, but also ambulance usage records.
Looking at Yi Jingchen's face and listening to his voice, he really does sound like a patient.
Kou Ya realized that he was completely wrong this time, and quickly said, "I didn't know you were sick, don't take it to heart."
"Mr. Kou." Yi Jingchen glanced at him, "If you can't learn to apologize, you don't have to say anything."
After saying that, Yi Jingchen coughed twice, put on a mask to isolate himself from the virus, and walked out of the kitchen to play with the children.
Kou Ya's face became even uglier after being humiliated in public.
Yi Jingchen walked out of the kitchen and thought about it aimlessly.
[He will probably stab me, or let the little ghost curse me, right?]
[I don’t believe that anyway.]
No one around paid attention, thinking that Yi Jingchen was just mumbling to himself out of boredom.
The photographers and staff following behind Yi Jingchen were discussing in a low voice, "By the way, Teacher Kou, does anyone know if there will be a live broadcast of today's event?"
"We didn't notify him. He doesn't broadcast live anyway." The person next to him replied, "It's said above that they only want Teacher Yi's materials."
"Okay." The photographer received the task and continued to concentrate on photographing Yi Jingchen.
Yi Jingchen played with the children for a while. They surrounded him and played "Eagle Catches Chicken", which consumed a lot of his energy.
When it was time for dinner, he took two cold medicine pills after the meal and felt a little sleepy, but he forced himself to continue helping with publicity for the school.
After lunch, Kou Ya got into the nanny car and did not come out to avoid the task of washing dishes.
It was not until the afternoon class was about to start that Kou Ya came out. She had changed her clothes and was wearing a strange necklace around her neck.
He saw Yi Jingchen's expression and found that he was in even worse condition, so he sneered.
Then, Kou Ya met Yi Jingchen's caring eyes for the mentally retarded.
[I just took some cold medicine and felt sleepy.]
[He didn't think that the curse of his chain had taken effect, did he?]
[I've told you countless times that feudal superstition is unacceptable. Even if you bring the little ghost enshrined in your family's shrine to me, I won't be cursed.]
When Kou Ya heard his beeping, he was shocked. He really had the idea of asking the little ghost to curse him.
Before Kou Li could think about how Yi Jingchen knew all this, he raised a new question.
[Speaking of which, that chain is weird, what is it made of?]
[Oh, it turns out to be a fingernail plucked from a woman's body.]
Yi Jingchen shook his head.
If feudal superstitions really worked, you would be the first to suffer the consequences.
After saying that, he narrowed his eyes and leaned against the wall to continue resting.
Kou Ya was furious, but he could not say anything to defend himself. He secretly decided to go back to Southeast Asia and find the master to punish this annoying person.
Kou Ya didn't know——
At this moment, the most important thing is not to take revenge on Yi Jingchen.
But how to protect yourself.
Although there is no official live broadcast room for the charity event, Yi Jingchen, as the guest mentioned above, has a dedicated photographer to follow him.
Yi Jingchen's fans and many passers-by who truly care about public welfare put themselves in Yi Jingchen's perspective and immersed themselves in the experience, fully feeling the bullying in the workplace.
I thought that if Yi Jingchen and Assistant Fang fought back, the matter would come to an end.
Who knew that, accidentally, I seemed to smell the scent of melon.
The well-trained fans immediately started digging based on the clues he gave.
However, after searching for a long time, there was no clue except Kou Ya's travel records to Southeast Asia.
Come to think of it, he knew that raising a ghost was not something that could be done in public, so he would definitely not show it.
Besides, the thing is kept at home, and no one can find it at home without any reason. It is absolutely safe.
Everyone was extremely disappointed, thinking that this shocking news would come to nothing due to lack of evidence.
Suddenly, just as Kou Ya was about to enter the classroom, Yi Jingchen quickly reached out and pulled off the chain around his neck.
He took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and found that there were ten transparent curved thin pieces polished into triangles on the chain, and a small gray bead hung at the bottom.
"What are you doing?" Kou Ya's necklace was snatched away, and she could no longer bear it and glared at Yi Jingchen angrily.
"To preserve evidence," Yi Jingchen replied succinctly. "You're wearing this, so there must be a victim, right?"
"I don't understand what you're saying. I bought that thing from someone else!"
"Who?" Yi Jingchen narrowed his eyes, his voice weak but undeniable, "This thing is a fingernail peeled alive, right? There is DNA in fingernails, did you know?"
"...Is there?" Kou Ya was not sure and answered with a guilty conscience.
"Of course." Yi Jingchen said meaningfully, "If we use Southeast Asian technology to process the baby's body, we can also extract DNA from the body. What if the child is related to you..."
"It's okay! Of course it's okay!" Kou Ya denied it flatly, "I just think it's strange. I've never hurt anyone! It's just that they all keep them, so..."
"They?" Yi Jingchen caught the key words.
Kou Ya covered his mouth and didn't dare to say anything more.
Yi Jingchen already knew most of it.
[Tsk, it really is all five poisons.]
"It's not illegal to do this. Besides, I hired you from outside." Kou Ya simply gave up and said stubbornly, "What if you find out? There are so many people doing this kind of thing in the circle. It's not a big deal."
Kou Ya went through his colleagues in the circle who were raising ghosts and felt more confident. "If you tell anyone about this, I won't be the only one to be offended. Today, I will be magnanimous and not bother with you."
Yi Jingchen sniffed pitifully and seemed to be frightened by Kou Ya.
Seeing him like this, Kou Ya felt that her fear just now was unnecessary.
The entertainment industry is a superstitious place, and when it comes to the power of ghosts and gods, Southeast Asia is definitely the leader.
Some people choose to pray to gods for their stardom, while others choose the power of ghosts.
Why is it that the power of ghosts is so despicable?
"Is it really that effective?" Yi Jingchen asked.
"It depends on the master you find. The one I found was recommended by someone in the circle. With his help, I can at least be a second-tier master."
"Really?" Yi Jingchen asked again.
Hearing his tone, Kou Ya knew that Yi Jingchen was moved, and promised, "Everyone who enters the circle wants to be famous, it's human nature. I can introduce my master to you, but let's make it clear that we are people in the same boat from now on, understand?"
Yi Jingchen responded ambiguously and got the contact information.
He took a picture and sent it directly to a contact on the list.
"Who did you tell? Although this is an open secret in the circle, it cannot be leaked to outsiders."
"Don't worry, he's not an outsider."
——He is just a police officer who specializes in investigating the smuggling of baby corpses.
People who do that kind of business are particularly cunning.
Either they hide in secret or hide the black industry under the legal industry.
Moreover, they are powerful and have good secrets, so it is impossible to track them down.
Unexpectedly, Yi Jingchen found the boss by accident.
Yi Jingchen took another photo of the necklace as physical evidence and then returned it to Kou Ya.
Kou Ya took it, thinking that Yi Jingchen had completely gotten the point, and mocked him for being just an ordinary person.
Before he could finish his taunting, Kou Ya received a call.
"Hello, is this Mr. Kou Ya?"
"We are the police station in your area. Someone has reported you for hiding a body. Would you please open the door for inspection?"
Kou Ya held the microphone, unable to utter a word, his face changed drastically.
Yi Jingchen no longer paid any attention to him. He dragged his sick body into the classroom to give a lecture.
He picked up the old-fashioned chalk and wrote two neat words on the blackboard:
science
"Are you afraid of ghosts?" Yi Jingchen asked.
Some people in the audience said they were afraid, while others said they were not.
"Yeah, I'm afraid of ghosts too." Yi Jingchen said with a smile, "Because, all the vicious ghosts in the world come from human hearts."
"Therefore, we must never harbor harmful thoughts. Lest our hearts become the next evil spirit."
[Ahhh! Yi Jingchen, how can you tell ghost stories in broad daylight! ]
[When he took that necklace just now, it made me feel creepy]
[+1, that necklace looks pretty nice at first glance, but now I realize it's made of nails...]
[The nails aren't the point. Do you know what the pendant is? Buddhism calls it a relic, which is actually condensed ashes.]
[Stupid Xiaochen, you're so afraid of ghosts, how dare you touch it! ]
He has no guilty conscience, so why wouldn't he dare? The ones he should really be afraid of are those who hurt and exploit them.
[Chenchen is right. We may not be kind, but we must not be evil. Otherwise, evil spirits will breed in our hearts.]
After Kou Ya answered the phone, he ended the announcement early, left the school in a hurry without saying goodbye to anyone.
Both classes in the afternoon fell on Yi Jingchen's head.
After finishing his cultural classes, Yi Jingchen also had to accompany them to physical education classes.
He was enjoying it, but everyone knew that Yi Jingchen was sick, and they kept nagging him to sit down and rest.
"If I rest, I won't be able to play with you or tell you stories. What should I do?"
An older child came out and said, "Then let us tell you a story!"
"Okay." Yi Jingchen said with a smile, "I'm a big kid. I've read all the stories in your books. I want to hear your own stories."
"good!"
"I'll go first, I'll go first!"
The children became interested and rushed to surround Yi Jingchen.
"My sister and I watched the moon last night. My sister said she liked the moon and that when we grow up, we want to go to the moon."
Another child retorted, "The moon is too far away. It's so far away from us. We can't go to the moon!"
"The moon is very far away from us, but we can go to it," Yi Jingchen told them. "As long as you dare to dream and are willing to work hard for your dreams, we adults must pave the way for you."
"Then I want to see the sun!"
"The sun, the sun is very hot." Yi Jingchen thought for a moment and continued, "Although it is difficult for our generation to achieve the leap from the moon to the sun, as long as we work hard, our future children will be one step closer to the sun."
He held the child in his arms, pointed to the sky, and said, "Did you know? There's a vast universe beyond the sun. The sun is just a tiny speck of dust. Just like we are just tiny specks of dust compared to the sun."
"But, whether it's the sun or the universe, they are all based on your will and senses, which are the so-called concepts. Therefore, each of you, a tiny speck of dust, is the center of your own world."
"This world is ruled by you."
[Stupid Xiaochen's gentleness is unfamiliar to me, but fortunately the ending is still as chuunibyou as always (wiping tears)]
[Chenchen has always been very gentle to children~]
[Ahhh! Why didn’t I meet Yi Jingchen when I was a kid!]
I agree! If I had a Yi Jingchen, I would definitely develop many hobbies, love learning, and become a very capable person.
[But, Chenchent also said that we have the right to be salted fish, so we should not hate our own lives.]
[Yes! No matter what kind of life you lead, it’s best if you take charge of it yourself]
