50: Chapter 50 Thank you, Xiao Tongxue!

50: Chapter 50 Thank you, Xiao Tongxue!

Liu Yue shared the list of donors in the class group.

She also wrote a message and sent it out.

[Classmates, thank you for helping Zhang Xiaolei.

The donation drive has been completed.

Here’s the latest donation tally.

I’ll transfer the collected funds to Zhang Xiaolei later.

Please keep an eye on this.

@everyone]

The class group chat instantly blew up.

[Holy crap, I just popped in here!]

[We’re all classmates.

Of course we’ll help if we can.

Xiaolei needs to stay strong, okay?]

[If anything comes up, make sure to tell us.

We’re all in this together.

@Zhang Xiaolei.]

[What the hell?!

Did I just see this correctly?

Xiao Fei donated 500,000 all by himself?!]

[This this this…]

[Totally blindsided, didn’t see that coming.]

[Young people these days, so unpredictable!]

[Stop with the memes, focus on the moment.

Shut up and kiss me.]

[Alright, meme-lovers, enough.

@Zhang Xiaolei, it’s all good now.

Your dad’s surgery costs are covered!]

[No surprises there—marrying Teacher Tang and having three kids, Xiao Fei’s a total champ!]

Everyone was enthusiastically discussing Xiao Fei’s actions.

In the dorm next door.

A skinny girl with a humble outfit and glasses clutched her years-old, worn-out phone, watching the flurry of messages flash across the screen as tears streamed down her face.

“Xiaolei!”

“It’s amazing—your dad can be saved now!”

Her dorm mates, who had clearly seen the messages too, crowded around her.

Zhang Xiaolei usually kept a low profile, but she was immensely kind and exceptionally hardworking.

Since starting university, she’d never missed a scholarship or financial aid opportunity.

Even in her free time, she worked tirelessly at part-time jobs, all while maintaining top-of-the-class grades.

Her classmates looked out for this girl, who came from humble beginnings but displayed such unyielding resilience.

Looking at the three dorm mates sincerely rejoicing for her, Zhang Xiaolei took off her glasses and wiped her tears.

“Thank you… thank you, everyone…”

“Wahhh… wahhh wahhhh…”

Another girl quickly grabbed a tissue from her desk and handed it over to her.

“Wipe your tears, no need to cry.

This is a happy occasion.

And really, you don’t need to thank us.

The one deserving your gratitude is Xiao Fei… tsk, that guy, always pulling off big gestures silently.”

Upon hearing Xiao Fei’s name, the three girls each had different thoughts.

Zhang Xiaolei nodded repeatedly.

“Xiao Fei… yes, Xiao Fei… I need to properly thank him…”

But as soon as the words left her mouth, Zhang Xiaolei froze.

She didn’t even know where Xiao Fei was or have his phone number.

Helpless, Zhang Xiaolei resorted to finding Xiao Fei in the class group chat and sending him a friend request.

Then, she sat anxiously, waiting.

Meanwhile.

At home, Xiao Fei saw Zhang Xiaolei’s friend request and immediately guessed what she wanted to say.

As expected, once Xiao Fei accepted the request, he saw the chat window immediately display [typing…].

But soon, as if realizing that typing words wouldn’t fully express her sincerity, Zhang Xiaolei called him directly.

“Hello?”

[Xiao… Xiao Fei, it’s me, Zhang Xiaolei.]

“Hey, Xiaolei, what’s up?”

[Well… thank you.

Thank you so much for your help.

I promise to pay you back…]

Xiao Fei smirked and glanced at his three little ones nearby.

He knew Zhang Xiaolei was an incredibly determined girl who wouldn’t accept kindness without repaying it.

So he didn’t bother saying things like “no need to pay me back.”

He said with a laugh:

“Alright, but don’t worry about paying me back just yet.

Focus on getting your dad the surgery.

If there’s extra money, use it to improve his quality of life.

If it’s not enough, just let me know.

I don’t lack money.”

“Also, about paying me back—you can wait until you graduate, get a job, and have a steady income.

You can pay me back bit by bit, no rush.

I won’t chase you for it.”

With tears in her voice, Zhang Xiaolei replied:

[Thank you… Xiao Fei… thank you so much… Can I treat you to a meal when you have time?]

“No need.”

Xiao Fei responded while reaching out to play with Da Bao.

Da Bao giggled, waving their tiny hands and grabbing Xiao Fei’s finger with a sugary-sweet grin.

“I know money is tight for you.

I accept your gratitude, but there’s no need to treat me to a meal.

Just take the money and get your dad the surgery.”

[Alright…]

Back in her dorm, Zhang Xiaolei hung up the phone and sat still in her chair, staring blankly ahead.

She then downloaded the donation list from the class group chat, carefully saved it, and began contacting each classmate she didn’t have saved numbers for yet to ask for their phone numbers.

As she saved the phone numbers, Zhang Xiaolei made a firm vow in her heart.

Once her family got through this tough time, she would repay every single classmate who had donated, no matter how much they had contributed.

Watching her back as she focused on saving the numbers, the three dorm mates exchanged glances and stepped quietly into the hallway.

“To be honest, I don’t think I could be like Xiaolei.”

“Yeah, from the look of it, I bet she’ll scrimp and save, eating plain buns with pickles every day just to repay us.”

“…How about this?

From now on, let’s take Xiaolei along whenever we eat.

If she’s unwilling, we’ll buy her food in the cafeteria and bring it to her.

Being so frugal, she wouldn’t let prepared food go to waste, right?”

As they spoke, the girls sneaked a glance back at Zhang Xiaolei’s figure in the dorm.

The young woman, though pale and thin, and not particularly pretty, possessed a heart of gold.

At home, Xiao Fei thought of the whole thing as just a small episode.

Time quickly shifted to evening.

When Tang Yuxin came home, Xiao Fei recounted the story to her.

“Hmm~ My husband is so compassionate.”

Seated on the couch, Tang Yuxin slipped off her high heels and stockings, resting her bare feet on the sofa.

Suddenly, she giggled and leaned her head onto Xiao Fei’s lap.

“I’ve heard about that child’s situation too.

Even the student council was planning a fundraiser for her, but I guess it’s unnecessary now.”

Xiao Fei, looking at his lively and lovely wife, pinched her nose and leaned in for a kiss.

“By the way, the upcoming cultural night—I’ve been roped in to participate.”

“Really?!”

Tang Yuxin’s eyes lit up as she excitedly bounced up, only to accidentally bump heads with Xiao Fei.

Bang!

“Ouch…!!”

With teary eyes, Tang Yuxin clutched her forehead and looked at Xiao Fei pitifully.

“Hubby, it hurts…”

“I’m hurting too… Come here, let me rub it for you.”

After squinting in pleasure as Xiao Fei gently massaged her forehead, Tang Yuxin eagerly asked, “Hubby, hubby, what are you planning to perform?”

“Phoenix Seeking Phoenix?”

Tang Yuxin’s face instantly turned bright red.

“N-no…

better not…”

“Hahahaha…”
