Chapter 186

"It turns out that Lele had actually known about his mother's illness all along!"

"One night, he got up to use the bathroom but heard his mother crying in her room. Curious, Lele decided to take a look. As soon as he reached the door, he overheard his parents discussing his mother's illness..."

"Although Lele is still very young, he understands his mother's difficulties. So, he quietly kept this matter in his heart, pretending not to know."

"Lele and his mother are truly in tune with each other, both afraid of hurting the other!"

Hearing Yi Tiantian's words, the others felt a weight settle on their hearts. They hadn't expected Lele to be so understanding at such a young age, not wanting to make his mother sad and thus keeping such a painful secret inside.

Everyone looked at the mother and son with sympathy, but they didn’t need anyone’s pity. Lele and his mother couldn't hear Yi Tiantian's words but were smiling happily.

"Thank you, Lele!"

Lele's mother stroked his head, her smile wide.

"You're welcome, Mom!"

Lele threw himself into his mother's arms, secretly shedding a tear where no one could see.

Viewers in the live comments saw this scene and started flooding the screen with messages.

[I’m so jealous of this kind of family love! It’s like being a stray cat watching a happy family from outside the window!]

[If only I had such a happy family! If my mother’s emotions were as stable as Lele's mother’s, I’d be a hundred times happier than I am now!]

[Lele is really blessed; it warms my heart...]

Finally, everyone gathered for a group photo, each wearing a wreath they had crafted earlier. In front of the camera, everyone smiled brilliantly, just like the field of roses around them.

At noon, the production team arranged for the guests to eat at a local restaurant. Given the limited local economy, the meal was just enough to fill their stomachs but didn’t offer much in terms of flavor.

A few of the kids were a little picky, but they didn’t complain too much, and lunchtime passed quietly.

In the afternoon, the most meaningful part of the day took place, where they distributed supplies to the local impoverished children and residents.

The guests spread out to different corners of the city, freely giving out supplies provided by the production team to the local people.

Yi Tiantian was eagerly anticipating this segment because he had prepared two large suitcases full of items before coming here, all for this moment. These items represented not only his own love but also the contributions of his assistants, Yuelyue and Yangyang, so he was eager to pass on this love.

Perhaps one day, the people here would rise up and reach out to others in need around the world.

To reach as many locals as possible, the crew assigned each group of guests to different streets to distribute supplies.

Since Yi Tiantian was carrying two suitcases and the local traffic was somewhat inconvenient, the crew assigned him to a wide road near the hotel. This road was a rare cement road in the area and looked like it had just been recently renovated.

While cars zipped by, most were small and basic, serving only as a means of getting around.

And most importantly, just across the road stood a brand-new elementary school. Though it only had basic facilities, the sound of children reading aloud filled the air as you passed by.

Yi Tiantian believed that as long as the people didn’t give up on education and nurturing their children, and maintained a strong sense of ambition, they would eventually overcome their challenges.

Because as long as there is education, there is still hope.

So Yi Tiantian carried two suitcases and, together with the cameraman, arrived at the elementary school.

At this time, most of the kids were in class. From the windows outside the school, you could see each child with bright, wide-eyed gazes fixed on the blackboard, listening intently to the teacher.

Some of the kids were bowing their heads, writing exercises, each appearing particularly diligent.

However, Yi Tiantian noticed that the classrooms here were worlds apart from those elsewhere. The blackboard was an old-fashioned, literal "blackboard," and there was only white chalk. The chalk marks on the blackboard were too faint, indicating poor quality.

Not every child had a textbook, and only the teacher had access to teaching materials. Some children didn’t even have exercise books or pencils.

Yi Tiantian hadn’t thought of this before coming, so he didn’t bring school supplies for the kids.

Seeing the children studying so hard yet lacking the tools to learn, Yi Tiantian felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

"I wish I had brought more. I wonder if the contents of these two suitcases will be enough for these kids."

"Before I leave, I must ask the school how I can donate to them."

Yi Tiantian didn’t want to cry in front of the camera, so he kept his emotions in check. But upon hearing the children's innocent voices, he couldn’t help but feel his eyes slightly redden, with tears glistening in the corners.

Despite preparing himself mentally, Yi Tiantian still felt deeply impacted by the overwhelming situation.

The viewers in the live comments felt the same way.

[I can't believe places like this still exist! We should be grateful for our bright classrooms… What we have now is not a given!]

[Can the show provide a donation link? I want to contribute to these kids!]

[Oh my god, my daughter has a phone and a tablet, but these kids don’t even have textbooks! Unbelievable! Can we start a fundraiser? I also want to help these kids!]

Perhaps because most people have a soft spot for others in need, everyone was moved to donate after seeing the school’s conditions. Some netizens had already taken action, searching online for ways to contribute to the school.

Yi Tiantian didn’t realize how much his actions had inspired the viewers in the live comments. At that moment, he was entering what seemed to be a school office with his two suitcases.

After knocking, a young female teacher appeared, her eyes widening in surprise as she looked at Yi Tiantian.

"Hello, are you a teacher here? I’d like to give some things to the kids. Would the school be willing to accept them?"

Yi Tiantian got straight to the point, gesturing to the two large suitcases in his hands as he asked sincerely.

The female teacher looked at the two huge suitcases Yi Tiantian was carrying, then back at him. A mix of surprise and joy washed over her.

Kind-hearted people often came to the school to offer help, but most didn’t bring as many supplies as Yi Tiantian had. That’s why the female teacher was so astonished.

"Welcome, welcome."

The female teacher quickly opened the door to the office, her excited voice trembling slightly.

After the female teacher opened the door, Yi Tiantian finally got a glimpse of the interior.

The teacher’s office was much like the classrooms, with only the most basic facilities—a few tables and chairs. There wasn’t even a sofa for resting, let alone a modern hot water machine.

At this moment, the office was empty. The female teacher, perhaps sensing Yi Tiantian’s confusion, immediately explained, "We are short-staffed at our school, so most of the teachers are probably in classrooms teaching."

"I see."

Yi Tiantian nodded in understanding.

"So when can we distribute these supplies to the students?"

The female teacher had a watch on her wrist, which looked like the kind that could be bought for ten yuan domestically, but it looked particularly delicate and beautiful on her wrist. The female teacher raised her wrist to check the time, then pondered for a moment.

"The second period of the afternoon is almost over. Maybe we can use this time to provide your supplies to the kids."

Yi Tiantian nodded and followed the teacher to the school hall.

Yi Tiantian opened the luggage and took out the gifts he had prepared for the kids one by one, placing them neatly on the floor.

Meanwhile, the teacher brought a table from the office and set it up in the hall. Later, after class, each kid could line up at the table to receive their gifts.

Since the number of gifts was limited, the teacher only informed the lower grades, asking the kids from these classes to come to the school hall after class to receive the gifts Yi Tiantian brought.

As the teacher went into each classroom to tell the other teachers about this, their eyes lit up with excitement. They looked at Yi Tiantian, who was waving at them, and pressed their hands together in a gesture of gratitude.

After class, the kids who learned about the gifts from their teachers were so excited that they jumped up in joy, but they did not lose order. Despite their excitement, the kids lined up and walked out of the classroom, guided by the teacher.

When the kids saw the gifts neatly arranged on the floor in the school hall, their eyes sparkled with surprise. Some kids even gasped, covering their mouths, as each gift looked generously packed with lots of goodies.

Following the teacher’s instructions, the kids began lining up to receive their gifts at the table. Yi Tiantian gave the blue-wrapped gifts to the boys and the pink-wrapped ones to the girls, and with each gift he gave out, he received a sincere "thank you" from the kids.

Seeing the genuine smiles on the kids' faces, Yi Tiantian felt that all the effort of carrying those two heavy suitcases was worth it!

Almost all the younger kids in the school received the gifts Yi Tiantian gave them. Yi Tiantian then suggested taking a group photo to capture this special moment.

The kids were very cooperative, and the picture was beautifully framed.

The viewers in the live comments were so moved that they forgot to send any messages.

After the group photo, Yi Tiantian had a brief exchange with the local kids and found them to be simple and kind-hearted little angels.

He also spoke with the teachers and decided to make a donation to the school.

The students and teachers thanked Yi Tiantian sincerely and insisted he stay for a meal, but Yi Tiantian shook his head and declined.

"I still have work to continue, so I can't stay."

The students and teachers were very regretful, but all the gifts Yi Tiantian gave to the kids were brought over by him in his luggage, while the supplies provided by the program team had not yet been distributed. Yi Tiantian now needed to go outside the school to distribute these supplies to passersby.

The kids and teachers waved goodbye as Yi Tiantian smiled, turned, and gradually disappeared from view.

As Yi Tiantian walked down the road, he couldn’t stop thinking about the scene he had just witnessed and the smiles on the kids' faces, but as he walked, he suddenly saw a pair of guests who shouldn't have been there.
