104: Chapter 105 Three
At the mention of the "Yin Angel" Project, Yin Tianxue immediately perked up, her previous bashfulness and stray thoughts instantly forgotten. She lifted her head from his chest, her eyes bright and filled with concern and earnestness. "Three individuals in this city? What's the situation? Is it serious?"
Looking at her small face that had instantly regained its radiance, Yu Bo's heart softened. He leaned down and lightly kissed the tip of her nose, his tone carrying a hint of admiration and doting. "My Tianxue really is a kind little angel. As soon as she hears there are children in need of help, her eyes light up."
Embarrassed by his praise, Yin Tianxue gave him a gentle push and scolded playfully, "Don't get sidetracked, get to the point!"
Yu Bo smiled, his expression becoming more serious. "The specific details still need to be verified. One is a five-year-old boy from a shantytown in the west of the city. He has a severe cleft lip and palate, and his family's conditions are very poor. Both parents are migrant workers with meager incomes who simply cannot afford the surgery. Another is a four-year-old girl at a Suburban Orphanage. She was abandoned and also has a cleft lip and palate. Although the orphanage provides basic necessities, the cost of reconstructive surgery is quite high. And then there's one more..."
He paused, his gaze darkening slightly. "It's a single-parent family. The mother is raising the child alone after the father ran away. The mother is in poor health and can only work odd jobs; life is very difficult for them."
As Yin Tianxue listened, her brow furrowed deeper and deeper, her eyes filled with heartache and worry. "Such young children... it's too pitiful. We must help them!"
Seeing her eager expression, Yu Bo felt a warmth in his heart. He reached out to ruffle her hair, his tone gentle yet firm. "Don't worry, with me here, we will definitely help them. However..."
His tone shifted, becoming more solemn. "Charity isn't just about giving money. We need to establish a complete auditing and assistance mechanism to ensure every cent is used where it's most needed, helping those who truly require it. Therefore, on-site verification is very important. We must go see for ourselves, understand the real situation, and assess the feasibility and urgency of the surgeries, while also preventing anyone from exploiting our kindness to defraud us of assistance funds."
Yin Tianxue nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of admiration and reliance. "Yu Bo, you've thought of everything so thoroughly. I... was I being too impulsive? I almost caused harm with my good intentions."
"It wasn't impulsiveness, it was kindness." Yu Bo pinched her cheek, his gaze doting. "My Tianxue is the kindest girl in the world. However, kindness alone isn't enough for charity; it also requires wisdom and methods. Leave those... to your husband. You just need to maintain your kindness and original intention, doing what you want to do. I'll handle the rest."
His sweet words and promises made Yin Tianxue's heart feel as sweet as honey. She leaned in of her own accord to kiss his lips, her voice soft and sweet. "Thank you, Yu Bo. It's so good to have you."
Yu Bo's gaze darkened, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice turned husky. "Just saying thank you isn't enough..."
Seeing his burning gaze, Yin Tianxue's cheeks flushed. She instinctively tried to hide, but he held the back of her head and deepened the kiss. When the kiss ended, both were somewhat breathless.
"Alright," Yu Bo suppressed the restlessness within him and released her, his voice carrying a hint of strained huskiness. "Let's eat first, then I'll accompany you to the Foundation to set the verification processes and standards. Starting tomorrow, I'll go for the on-site verifications, and you..."
"I want to go too!" Yin Tianxue said immediately, her gaze resolute. "I am the founder of 'Yin Angel.' I must personally understand the situation and help those children myself. I can't rely on you for everything."
Looking at her stubborn yet earnest face, Yu Bo felt both gratified and worried. He was gratified that his Tianxue had truly grown, becoming more independent, strong, and responsible; he was worried because the environments in those places were complex, and he feared she would suffer or face danger.
"Tianxue, the conditions in those places are quite poor, I'm afraid..."
"I'm not afraid!" Yin Tianxue interrupted him, her eyes clear and firm. "Yu Bo, I know you're worried about me and want to protect me. But I'm not a flower in a greenhouse. I also want to do something meaningful and use my own strength to help others. Besides... with you there, I'm not afraid of anything."
Her last sentence, filled with absolute trust and reliance, instantly struck the softest part of Yu Bo's heart. He sighed and ruffled her hair with helpless affection. "Alright, I really can't do anything with you. However..."
His tone shifted again, his expression becoming serious. "Tianxue, while on-site verification is important, there is something even more important that requires you to handle it personally."
"Something even more important?" Yin Tianxue paused, looking at him in confusion. "What is it?"
Yu Bo looked at her, his gaze gentle and full of encouragement. "The 'Yin Angel' project isn't just about providing surgery costs. Our ultimate goal is to establish a complete, sustainable medical assistance and rehabilitation system. Therefore... we need our own hospital and our own medical team."
Yin Tianxue's eyes instantly lit up, filled with excitement and anticipation. "You mean... we're going to build a hospital specifically for children with cleft lip and palate?"
"Exactly." Yu Bo nodded, his gaze firm and full of ambition. "We will build the top specialized hospital for cleft lip and palate repair in the country, even the world, equipped with the most advanced equipment and the most excellent medical team. We will provide those children with comprehensive, free medical assistance, from surgery to rehabilitation, and from physiological to psychological support. That is the true meaning and value of 'Yin Angel.'"
Yin Tianxue's heart surged with emotion, and she was so excited she almost jumped up. "That's wonderful! Yu Bo, this idea is fantastic! We must do it! We must make it happen!"
Seeing her excitement, Yu Bo's heart softened. He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her forehead, his voice gentle and full of trust. "So, Tianxue, this matter must be handled by you personally. You are the soul of 'Yin Angel.' Only you can give this hospital a true soul and warmth. Leave the hard work of on-site verification to me. You will be responsible for this more important, greater task—site selection, planning, design, and building the team... all of this needs to be led by you. Well? Do you have confidence?"
Looking at his gaze full of trust and encouragement, a huge surge of motivation and responsibility rose within Yin Tianxue. She nodded vigorously, her eyes firm and shining. "I do! Yu Bo, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job! I want to build the warmest, most loving hospital, so that every child can regain their smile here!"
"I believe in you." Yu Bo smiled and ruffled her hair, his gaze doting. "Then... it's a deal? I'll go for the on-site verifications, and you'll be in charge of the hospital?"
"Mm!" Yin Tianxue nodded vigorously, then looked at him with some hesitation. "But... if you go alone... won't it be too hard? And... I also want to see those children with my own eyes..."
"Don't worry, I'll record the details, take videos and photos, and show them to you when I get back." Yu Bo soothed her softly. "Besides, once the hospital is built, those children will all come to our hospital for surgery. Then, you'll be able to see them every day. For now, your task is to conserve your energy and create the warmest, safest home for those children. That's more important than anything, isn't it?"
Yin Tianxue thought about it and felt he had a point, so she nodded, her gaze becoming firm again. "You're right. I want to build the best home for the children. Then... the on-site verifications will be hard on you, Yu Bo."
"It's not hard." Yu Bo leaned down and kissed her lips, his gaze tender. "For you, and for those children, anything is worth it."
