Chapter 2888: He fell in love with her at first sight.
Charlene replied, "Yes, I just finished class. I'll leave after I finish eating."
Shino then asked, "Where is the orphanage located? Is it far from the school?"
Charlene sent the address directly and replied, "A welfare home in the vicinity, a bit far."
Tokino replied, "Okay, I understand."
Xia Lin didn't think much of it. She chatted with Shi Ye for a few more minutes, asked about the filming, and then went to eat.
In the afternoon, she met You Qian at the school gate and they went to the welfare home together.
Upon arrival at the destination, the dean was already there with a group of lively and adorable children, warmly welcoming us at the entrance.
Charlene and the senior members of the club worked in an orderly manner to help unload the donated items from the car.
The dean repeatedly expressed his gratitude, because Xia Lin and her team had come to offer help on several occasions.
The stationery, storybooks, and various school supplies they sent last time were very popular with the children, and everyone cherished these gifts.
Charlene smiled and replied, "I knew the children would like it, so this time I specially purchased a lot of pens for them, including colored pencils and crayons."
I hope they can fully unleash their creativity.
The children lined up excitedly to receive their gifts, their faces beaming with joy and anticipation, their little mouths sweeter than the last.
After distributing the items, Charlene also conducted a simple health check for the children to ensure they were in good health.
You Qian then assisted by handing things over.
He wasn't a medical student, so he was initially quite inexperienced and seemed rather clumsy.
Seeing this, Charlene had no choice but to teach him step by step what to do.
A little boy who was undergoing a check-up saw this scene, blinked his big eyes, curiously came over, and innocently asked, "Sister, are you and this brother boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Charlene was clearly taken aback by this and asked, "Why would you say that? We're just friends!"
The little girl covered her mouth and giggled, her eyes curving into crescents, and said in her childish voice, "Because my brother listens to my sister so much!"
When Linda's boyfriend came before, he listened to her just the same way!
The headmistress said that it was because Teacher Linda's boyfriend really liked her that she was so obedient!
So, I guess you are too.
Charlene suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
Then, in a gentle but firm tone, she explained, "We're not boyfriend and girlfriend! We're just classmates."
So, don't talk nonsense again! Got it?
You Qian, who was standing to the side, had a big smile on his face when he heard the child ask that question.
However, after hearing Charlene's answer, he visibly froze for a moment, and a hint of undisguised disappointment flashed across his eyes.
However, he quickly composed himself, and a warm smile returned to his face.
He turned around and said to the group of mischievous kids in a half-joking tone, "You little rascals, you're so young, do you even know what liking someone is? What is a boyfriend or girlfriend?"
Go away, go play somewhere else!
To amplify the effect, he deliberately put on a stern face and added a joking threat: "Otherwise, I'll grab you all one by one and give you injections in the butt!"
Upon hearing the word "injection," the children immediately cowered, exchanged glances, and ran off laughing.
The dean watched from the side, a gentle smile appearing on his face.
She and You Qian were quite familiar with each other and had met many times.
While Xia Lin was busy on the other side, the dean lowered his voice and asked in a teasing tone, "Do you like Xia Lin?"
Upon hearing this, You Qian subconsciously raised his hand and scratched his head, a shy yet honest expression appearing on his face.
He didn't deny it, but simply nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a tenderness.
In fact, his feelings for Xia Lin were not something that had just started recently; this affection had been quietly growing in his heart for quite some time.
He recalled the first time he met Charlene; it was next to the flowerbed at school.
That place is quiet and lush, and stray cats often roam there.
When You Qian has nothing to do, he goes there almost every day to feed the cats; it has become a habit for him.
One day, he went to the flower garden as usual, but unexpectedly saw a girl sitting on the ground, carefully applying medicine and bandaging an injured kitten.
That girl was Charlene.
Her movements were gentle and focused, and her eyes were full of care.
At that moment, You Qian's heart seemed to be touched by something, and he almost forgot to breathe, his gaze fixed on the girl.
The girl was wearing only a simple white T-shirt and a pair of faded jeans.
She was completely devoid of any superfluous decorations, yet for some reason, she inexplicably attracted attention.
The sunlight shone down, outlining her delicate profile. Her skin was fair and translucent, and she exuded a clean and untainted aura.
When she noticed his presence and turned to look at him, her eyes were clear and bright, as if washed by autumn water, with absolute purity.
He fell in love at first sight with just one glance.
Later, he went up to talk to her and found out that she was a freshman who had just entered university.
During the conversation, I learned that she was a very kind-hearted person, so I took the opportunity to invite her to join my charity organization.
I thought she would hesitate or refuse, but to my surprise, she nodded and agreed with a smile almost without any hesitation, her eyes curving into crescents.
Later, the two attended several club activities together. Whether it was visiting the elderly in nursing homes, or orphanages, or organizing fundraising on campus, she was always the most conscientious.
She is not only down-to-earth but also exceptionally meticulous. She always notices details that others overlook, and she always completes her tasks very well without ever showing off.
Such a kind, pure person, a girl who is focused on her work, is like a clear spring, naturally attracting people's attention.
And with each journey together, he was increasingly moved by this beauty.
The dean, seeing this, couldn't help but smile knowingly and said earnestly, "If you like something, seize the opportunity as soon as possible, lest you regret it when it slips away."
Upon hearing this, You Qian's ears turned slightly red. He scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly and stammered, "I...I'll try!"
As evening approached, after finishing work, the activities at the welfare home were almost over.
The dean warmly invited them to dinner, and casually mentioned, "Another batch of donated supplies will be delivered tonight, if you're free..."
Before they could finish speaking, Xia Lin and You Qian both said they were willing to stay and help.
This welfare home is located on the outskirts of the city, in a relatively remote location, and with limited resources, so it is quite poor.
On ordinary days, few donors visit.
Nowadays, it's rare to find such kind-hearted people coming to help, so we certainly shouldn't take it lightly.
