Zhao Yao, enduring a difficult home life, helps a man in a wheelchair who has fallen. The man, Ye Qiu, expresses his gratitude and suggests they look alike. Zhao Yao rushes to school and is late, but Ye Qiu arranges for milk tea and pastries to be delivered to her class, explaining her tardiness was due to a good deed. Zhao Yao is touched by his kindness and the unexpected warmth from her classmates.

Usually, Zhao Yao isn’t very popular in the class, not due to anything else but because she doesn’t have money to join class activities. Whether it’s going shopping or going to the amusement park, she never joins. Gradually, her classmates stopped inviting her, naturally distancing themselves.

But today, the classmates who were originally annoyed by the class conduct points deducted because of Zhao Yao were suddenly told that, instead of losing points, they would actually receive bonus points. These classmates, who excel academically and take great pride in class honor, instantly had no complaints.

Not only were there no complaints, but when they saw so many seemingly expensive milk teas and pastries—they were usually strictly forbidden from bringing snacks to school—they were ecstatic. Moreover, these were things they usually wouldn’t splurge their allowance on, right?

Today, not only could they eat for free, but they were encouraged by the homeroom teacher to do so. For students like them, besides achieving good grades, nothing could make them happier.

Each one of them, with smiles on their faces, picked their favorite flavors. Passing by Zhao Yao, they made sure to thank her, and those seated farther away gave her a thumbs-up.

Zhao Yao hadn’t been this happy since she could remember. In the past, when classmates treated her to food, she felt guilty accepting because she knew she couldn’t reciprocate. Now, it’s as if she was able to indirectly treat her classmates, and she felt much more at ease.

She thought of the handsome man named Ye Qiu, whom she had helped up, and felt a growing fondness for him.

"Young master seems very happy today," Aunt Mei said with equal joy.

"That girl is very nice. I thought of sending these milk teas and pastries over, and she and her classmates surely felt delighted," Ye Qiu said with a good mood.

"Of course! If someone had done something like that for me when I was in school, I’d have been overjoyed. My classmates would definitely have envied me."

"That girl deserves it. Although she was already running late, she stopped without hesitation to help me. Despite being so poor that her shoes were coming apart, she refused the bracelet, saying it was too precious. I once thought losing my legs meant losing everything. But today, this girl made me realize that besides family, there are still such pure and kind-hearted people in the world. They haven’t given up, so what reason do I have to give up?" Ye Qiu remarked with a smile, a smile that seemed to dispel all gloom.

Upon hearing Ye Qiu say this, Aunt Mei and Uncle Li exchanged a happy glance, sincerely grateful that the girl had stepped up to help. If she had ignored him coldly, young master might have lost hope in the world again and retreated into his shell.

Watching them happily return home, Zhang Jingyi curiously asked, "What did they encounter?"

She originally wanted to go out with her son, but he insisted on going alone, convincing her to let Aunt Mei and Uncle Li drive him. Zhang Jingyi didn’t want to upset her son further, so she stayed home waiting. Seeing her son’s smiling face, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle, did you do something fun today? Next time, take me along, alright? I promise I won’t be a bother," Ye Xingyan said, seizing the opportunity to say something thoughtful.

"Today, our young master met a very nice girl, and he’s very happy!" Aunt Mei couldn’t wait to tell Zhang Jingyi, "Young master even generously bought milk tea for the girl."

"Is Uncle really that generous? Uncle, you’re kind-hearted, but you should be wary of girls trying to approach you on purpose. After all, our Ye Family has a good reputation in the circle, and there are plenty with ulterior motives," Ye Xingyan thoughtfully advised Ye Qiu.

Zhang Jingyi also found this reasonable, especially given her son’s current situation. It’s easy for a small gesture from someone to touch him emotionally. Losing some money is one thing, but her greatest fear was that her son’s heart would be hurt.

"How could it be? The young lady is just a middle school student who kindly helped the young master. Madam, don’t overthink it," Aunt Mei quickly explained, then glanced subtly at Ye Xingyan. She wasn’t sure if she was being overly suspicious, but she felt Ye Xingyan’s earlier words weren’t genuinely out of concern for the young master.

Moreover, as a young girl herself, she noticed Ye Xingyan lacked the innocence typical of children her age. Ever since the young master began to come out of his shell, she seemed to fear being driven out of the house and did everything to engage the young master, seeking his attention.

Such calculated approaches always evoke resentment. Still, since she was a young lady of the Ye Family and Aunt Mei was but a housekeeper, and since Ye Xingyan hadn’t crossed any lines, she wasn’t in a position to gossip.

Ye Qiu nodded, "She’s a very kind girl, Mom. If you were there, you’d have liked her too."

"That’s a pity. I should properly thank her."

"Let’s leave it for a chance encounter in the future. By the way, Mom, how’s the hospital arrangement I asked you about?"

"I arranged for them to come over the day after tomorrow when everyone is home."

Ye Xingyan curiously looked over, as if the person who subtly criticized the girl earlier had disappeared, "Why is Uncle asking Grandma to contact doctors to come home?"

"It’s the young master worrying about the old man and madam; he wants everyone to get a full body check-up," Aunt Mei explained.

For some reason, after hearing this, Ye Xingyan felt a slight unease, a sense that something bad might happen. However, she couldn’t pinpoint what it was, so she reluctantly put it aside.

Sunday quickly arrived, and since it was their family hospital, convenience wasn’t an issue. Besides a routine pulse diagnosis, blood was drawn this time.

"As long as Young Master maintains his current positive mindset, receiving daily professional massages, there might still be hope," the old doctor said after a prolonged silent pulse-taking, with eyes full of astonishment as he looked at Ye Qiu. "Perhaps it’s due to the improved mood; young master’s condition hasn’t worsened. In fact, it’s improved quite a bit."

"Really? Is there truly still hope?" Zhang Jingyi asked with delight.

However, her words were nothing short of a thunderous shock for Ye Bai’s family. If Ye Qiu could recover, what did that make them?

Despite being unwilling to admit harboring selfish thoughts, at this moment, Shen Huiran silently prayed for the heavens to hear her plea, hoping that Ye Qiu’s legs would never heal. She swore she’d take good care of him.

"It’s still too early to say," the old doctor shook his head at Zhang Jingyi, "But as long as there’s a good mindset, there’s always hope. Medicine advances every day. Perhaps next year there will be a miracle drug!"

Hearing such comforting words, Zhang Jingyi only felt slightly discouraged. After all, she had grown used to it over the past four years. However, the words greatly relieved Ye Bai, Shen Huiran, and Ye Xingyan. After all, where would there be so many miracle drugs in the world? It’s all just to console people.
