My Life with Narration

Chapter 907: Chapter 897: Arranging Xu Yuezhen

"Phew~~"

Midway up the mountain, under the drizzle, each of the four men held a cigarette.

"Qingzi, do you think A-Zhen will be okay?" Wang Xing glanced at Xu Yuezhen, who had been standing in front of San’er’s grave for an hour, and couldn’t help but ask.

"What could possibly happen? If something were to happen, it would have happened last year. Since she’s made it through, it means she’s okay now. Rest assured, she just has a personality that’s been lacking love since childhood, which is why she holds onto San’er so dearly. Once she finds new goals in life, she’ll be just like anyone else," Su Qing took a drag, speaking in a deep voice.

As for Xu Yuezhen, honestly, it’s tough to comment on her. She’s a bit stubborn, and once she sets her mind on something, it’s hard to change.

If it hadn’t been for the reminders last year, perhaps this year, his pals would have had one more person to mourn.

Her family situation led her to nearly cut off ties with them. You could say she has no home now. If San’er hadn’t died, Jiang City might have become her second home.

She seems honest and upright but is also the most sensitive internally. Fortunately, everything is heading in a positive direction now.

They say time heals all wounds, but that may not hold true for Xu Yuezhen. Hopefully, she’ll meet someone like-minded in the future and open a new Chapter in her life.

After all, although they were very good friends with San’er, they can’t watch the girl live like this forever. Everything depends on her own choices; they have no right to interfere.

Maybe once she finds someone else, her relationship with them will fade. Regardless, they all hope this girl can be well, at least she genuinely liked San’er.

"Damn, stop acting like some literary scholar, I don’t understand a word!" Qin Wei muttered, scratching his head.

Ding Qiang spat and said, "With that brain of yours, this is as far as you’ll get in life. Stop worrying about it, just watch Qingzi perform!"

As they spoke, Xu Yuezhen approached from behind, "Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting!"

In response, they all shook their heads:

"It’s nothing, it’s only once a year, we wanted to stay a bit longer too," Wang Xing smiled.

The four of them intentionally walked a bit further to give Xu Yuezhen some space to talk, after all, she’s a young girl who traveled a long way, it’s only fair to give her some space, right?

"All done?" Su Qing asked.

Xu Yuezhen nodded, "Yeah, I talked to him for a while and I feel much better. Honestly, I really like this city now. After teaching for two more years, maybe someday I’ll return to Jiang City, find a job, and settle down!"

As she spoke, Xu Yuezhen gazed at the surrounding scenery, facing the light rain with her hands behind her back, a look of yearning on her face.

"You’re always welcome to come back. To be honest, sometimes we have to accept fate. Once things happen, we can’t hold onto too much. But it’s okay, just try your best and leave the rest to fate. At least, you’ll live with ease," Su Qing hinted.

Xu Yuezhen glanced at him, and finally smiled without answering. Su Qing didn’t insist further. Everyone has their choices; perhaps this is exactly what she wants.

You might think she’s suffering, but maybe she’s enjoying it in her own way.

"So, where to next?" Wang Xing asked.

Upon hearing this, the rest turned their gaze to Xu Yuezhen.

"Well... um, can we go around his old home again like last year?"

The four exchanged glances, "No problem, let’s go, get in the car!"

Then, the five of them drove to San’er’s old home, parking the car on the roadside from a distance.

To be honest, they also wanted to visit San’er’s parents, but they were afraid it might remind them of something unfortunate. After all, they are the same age as San’er.

Moreover, they were classmates, and seeing them might involuntarily make his parents think that if their son hadn’t died, he’d be around this age by now.

So, they just watched from afar.

After about half an hour, they drove back to an internet café near their high school to play games, repeating what they did last year. No one disturbed them, and they were all quite happy.

This day seemed like a rare moment of relaxation for them since entering the workforce.

In the evening, Su Qing arranged for a good restaurant for everyone to gather and have dinner.

"Gou’er, are you leaving tomorrow?" Su Qing asked.

Qin Wei nodded, "The ticket is for early morning, better go and come back quickly. After all, since you both are getting married today, I have to take leave, can’t delay too long."

"Damn, why such trouble? I say you should just stay around here, see if you can find a job or something. Our Jiang City isn’t any worse than others, so why insist on going elsewhere?" Wang Xing persuaded.

Now, only Qin Wei was left out wandering, with Ding Qiang having returned.

"You think I don’t want to? The point is I finally got into a hospital, I probably wouldn’t have such an opportunity if I returned to Jiang City. Moreover, my girlfriend is over there, how could I come back?" Qin Wei rolled his eyes at Wang Xing helplessly.

Hearing this, Su Qing shook his head, "Alright, focus on your relationship, it’s the same wherever we are. By the way, A-Zhen, be careful when you go for your teaching assignment. Those remote areas are still not very friendly to girls!"

"I know, don’t worry. The place I’m going to was recommended by senior sisters. Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to go. Although it’s a bit backward, it’s not an isolated place!" Xu Yuezhen explained.

After all, news of female university students going to teach and then being harmed or assaulted had come out in recent years.

Some places are so backward that they’d forcibly marry them to male locals, so not everyone deserves pity.

"That’s good. By the way, if possible, stay a few more days in Jiang City and help me with something."

Hearing this, Xu Yuezhen was puzzled, "What is it? Can I do it?"

After all, she couldn’t imagine how she could help the wealthy young Su Qing.

"I’m planning to donate some money to build a few elementary schools. You’re going for teaching, you should know where this money is most needed. Of course, I can also donate some books and stationery and improve the conditions for substitute teachers.

Teaching won’t help many students, so why not help me build schools? I can donate one in San’er’s name, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Xu Yuezhen’s eyes widened. Honestly, she was just a student majoring in teacher education, not very capable, but the conditions Su Qing promised were very tempting.

If she could teach at a school named after the person she liked, she thought it would be amazing.

"Can I do it?"

"Don’t worry, you can. Besides, I won’t leave it all to you. I’ll have people accompany you. You just need to help me find those who truly need help and log the expenses of building schools and certain items, keep things in order," Su Qing smiled.

He knew, once he made this promise, Xu Yuezhen wouldn’t refuse. When it comes to charity, directly donating to a charitable organization is the least effective way. At least this method allows him to donate willingly.

Sure enough, Xu Yuezhen didn’t keep him waiting. After a brief thought, she nodded firmly:

"Okay, I promise you, I’ll do my best!"

"No, not just your best, you’ll definitely succeed. I trust you. Rest assured, I’ll donate some resources to your school soon to improve things for you!

Once you go back, you can start your so-called work. But you might have to run around and build connections over there a bit, so I’ll need you to put in some effort.

Remember, if any local department deliberately makes things difficult for you or tries to take bribes, abandon that area. We don’t have such power, we can’t help everyone. Even when I’m donating, it’s not just for doing good; everyone has their selfishness," Su Qing said solemnly.

Indeed, if it wasn’t for the fact that donations and doing charity work could be tax-exempt, why would he be so keen on it? He’s just an ordinary person after all.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you!"
