71: Chapter 72. Special thanks to the great hero, Linghu Chong.
Yin Tianxue froze, her gaze firmly captivated. She quickly opened the proposal.
The plan was divided into two clear and ambitious stages:
Stage One: The "Yin Angel" Special Charity Fund.
An initial startup capital of 40 million RMB will be injected (jointly funded by Yu Bo personally and "Tinglan Capital"). This fund is exclusively designated to support children from impoverished families suffering from congenital cleft lip and palate, covering a complete series of medical and rehabilitation expenses from pre-operative examinations and surgical treatment to post-operative recovery and speech therapy, ensuring that the children can receive timely, effective, and high-quality treatment to smile again. The fund will establish an independent and transparent management committee and oversight mechanism to accept social supervision.
Stage Two: The "Yin Angel" Smile Charity Hospital.
The plan is to select a site and establish a non-profit specialized charity hospital dedicated to congenital cleft lip and palate within three years in the Huadu region, where medical resources are relatively good. The hospital will bring together the nation's top expert teams in cleft lip and palate treatment and introduce internationally advanced equipment and technology, aiming to provide completely free, one-stop, high-quality diagnostic and treatment services to children nationwide, creating a national-level demonstration base integrating medical care, scientific research, rehabilitation, and public welfare.
Attached to the back of the proposal were detailed feasibility analyses, budget plans, a preliminary list of intended expert team members, and case studies of successful charity medical models both domestically and abroad. It was evident that this plan was by no means a whim or a fantasy, but rather the result of thorough research and preparation.
Yin Tianxue flipped through the pages one by one, her fingers trembling slightly. Congenital cleft lip and palate... she was no stranger to this condition; it could even be said that it occupied a very soft and hidden corner deep in her heart. Her mother, Lin Wanru, had participated in related charity activities when she was young. When Yin Tianxue was a child, she had accompanied her mother to an aid event. The eyes and yearning of the children who could not smile normally due to congenital defects, and who could not receive treatment due to poverty, had deeply touched her young heart. Later, although she rarely had direct contact with such matters due to family business and personal development, this thought had always been buried in her heart.
She had never mentioned this wish in detail to anyone, and even Yu Bo only vaguely knew that she was concerned about pediatric medical charity. She had not expected him to be so thoughtful; not only did he remember, but he had also silently planned such a large-scale and meaningful charity project for her, and furthermore... named it after her.
"Tianxue," Yu Bo's voice sounded in her ear, low and gentle. "I know that no amount of apologies or gifts can erase the harm caused to you by that ten-second video. I also know that the commercial separation is just my duty. So, I want to do something else, something... that might truly make you feel warmth and meaning."
He looked at her slightly reddened eyes and continued, "This 'Yin Angel' plan is not compensation, nor is it to please you. It is a gesture of goodwill and a promise that I, Yu Bo, am expressing to the world in your name, Yin Tianxue. I want more people to gain hope and smiles because of the name 'Yin Tianxue'. I know you have always had this thought in your heart, but timing and energy did not allow it before. Now, let me help you realize it, okay?"
He paused, his eyes incredibly sincere. "If... if you are willing, I hope you can lead this plan and decide its direction and future. Both the fund and the hospital can be under the banner of Tiansheng or 'Listening to the Waves', but the soul and the name belong only to you, Yin Tianxue. I will fully support you and provide all the necessary resources."
Yin Tianxue raised her head, her vision already blurred by tears. She looked at the man in front of her; his thin face was filled with exhaustion, but his eyes were startlingly bright, full of insight, respect, and unreserved support for her inner world.
This gift was too heavy. It was so heavy that it transcended all material categories, striking directly at the softest, most idealistic part of her soul. He was not simply using money or romance to please her, but using understanding and action to embrace the dreams she had never spoken of.
"When... when did you start preparing this?" Yin Tianxue's voice was choked with sobs.
"After returning from Jiangcheng, I actually had a vague idea," Yu Bo answered honestly. "After that night, I kept thinking about what I could do for you that was truly meaningful, besides apologies and promises. Later, I looked through some of your past charity records and areas of interest, and consulted some professionals... It was only in these last few days that the framework was finally set." He smiled a little embarrassedly. "There may still be many imperfections, but I hope this is a good start."
Yin Tianxue closed the proposal and held it tightly to her chest, as if holding a precious dream. She could no longer control herself, and tears streamed down her face. But this time, they were no longer tears of pain and grievance, but a warm torrent mixed with being moved, shock, and the feeling of being deeply understood and cherished.
"Yu Bo... thank you." She was sobbing, and this sentence contained too many complex emotions.
Yu Bo reached out and gently pulled her into his arms. This time, his movements were no longer hesitant or cautious, but full of certainty and tenderness. "I should be the one saying thank you. Thank you... for still being willing to give me this chance to do something for you." He lowered his head and kissed the top of her tear-stained hair. "Tianxue, let us do this meaningful thing together, okay? Let 'Yin Angel' become our shared promise and bond."
Yin Tianxue nodded vigorously in his arms, burying her face deep in his chest, feeling his strong and warm heartbeat. The thorn stuck in her heart did not seem to have disappeared, but at this moment, it was wrapped in a stronger, warmer power. This 'Angel Plan,' bearing her name and carrying love and goodwill, was like the brightest light, illuminating the haze in her heart caused by betrayal, and also allowing her to see Yu Bo's deeper sincerity in repenting and making amends, one that transcended personal feelings.
He might have been confused and had oversights that broke her heart. But at this moment, he showed with practical actions that he not only wanted to win back her affection but also wanted to enter her inner world, respect and realize her ideals, and create a more valuable future with her.
This sincerity was more capable of moving Yin Tianxue than any sweet words or expensive gifts.
And Yu Bo, holding the lover who was finally willing to accept him again, felt a sense of relief at having regained what was lost and a heavy sense of responsibility. He knew that the road ahead was still long, and internal and external troubles were not yet settled, but he had a firmer goal and stronger motivation — not only to protect the woman in his arms but also to work with her to protect the smiles of more children.
Inside the private room of the "bamboo room restaurant," the lights were warm and the sound of water trickled. Two hearts that had once drifted apart were once again closely linked because of a plan carrying great love, even more in tune with each other than at any time in the past.
Special thanks here to "Daxia — Linghu Chong".
