Chapter 610: Heartfelt Throbbing Monts
Tian Xiaong’s shocked expression looked sowhat silly and yet cute, causing her viewers to imdiately drool. The comnt section also produced innurable tweets comnting on her expression, all of which said that they had been captivated by her cute, adorable expression. [1]
Tian Xiaong rubbed her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly found that the number of the audience changed. It was around 761,000 a mont ago, but now the number unexpectedly blasted up to 770,000!
“I.... this scared the hell out of , to be honest.”
She collected herself and spoke with a moved expression.
Imdiately after, she pointed the cara at the entrance of the Bluestar Welfare House and aid it at the signboard at the entrance for a few seconds. Following that, she aid the cara to herself and said, “ngng’s fans and subscribers, regardless if you just beca one, ngng wants to tell you all that the live broadcast will be broadcasted here. This place is a welfare house located at the suburbs of Star City. I only learned about this place after Divine Doctor Tang Xiu told , else I wouldn’t have known that Star City had such a... a welfare house for children. You can see that it looks very dilapidated and... very old.”
“And now, please follow ngng as I have a look and see Tang Xiu as well as the children of this welfare house.”
After saying that, she attempted to capture all the surrounding environnt as much as possible while keeping her pace forward. She stopped in front of the small building for a few seconds and then walked toward the fourth door to the east. After pushing open the door and seeing the situation inside, she imdiately stopped.
“Hi everyone, I’m Tian Xiaong.”
The first person her vision fell onto was Tang Xiu. She waved at him before coming over and saying, “Hello, Divine Doctor Tang.”
At the mont, Tang Xiu was giving stead buns to the children. After hearing her voice, he let out a faint smile and gently nodded at her. Following which, he looked at the mobile phone in her hand and smilingly asked, “Are you airing the broadcast now?”
“Um, yes!” Tian Xiaong gently nodded.
Tang Xiu smiled at the cara and said, “Hello everyone, I’m Tang Xiu. Firstly, I wanna say that I didn’t get in touch with Tian Xiaong today on my own initiative. But, from the previous exchange and the help obtained by Star City Chinese dical Hospital after the live broadcast she aired last ti, then I thought to call her over. So, I would like to convey my gratitude to Tian Xiaong for being able to co here.
“As a matter of fact, I invited her here for one purpose only. I hope to see more people pay attention to the Bluestar Welfare House and show their care to the children here. And similarly, I hope that everyone is also able to show their compassion and pay attention not only to the Bluestar Welfare House. There still are many welfare houses whose condition is bad all over the country, along with more pitiful children who need our help. The ability I have as an individual is limited, so I hope everyone will also co forward to pour out your compassion and love to care and help them. On the behalf of these children, I thank you all.”
After saying that, Tang Xiu’s gaze left the cara and then nodded to Tian Xiaong. Following that, he continued to give the stead buns to the children.
With her vision following Tang Xiu, Tian Xiaong’s eyes then shifted after he turned around to the children in the dilapidated room who had already started their al. Their al was simple, containing only boiled cabbage and vermicelli cooked in one pot and so at dumplings. There was nothing else but plain rice congee inside their bowls, which had many notches here and there, and yet the children ate the hot stead bun given to them greedily as if it was the most delicious food in the world.
Tian Xiaong’s gaze then fell on Long Xueyao at the side and asked with a complex expression, “Big Sis, they only have... this one dish?”
Long Xueyao was perfectly aware of Tang Xiu goal for doing all these and was grateful to him. When she heard Tian Xiaong’s inquiry, she didn’t face her phone cam but nodded silently, before letting out a bitter smile and saying, “It’s great that you ca today, since the cooked al could be said to be better than usual with so at in the dish. Usually, these children are only able to have at in their dish in a two or three days’ interval.”
Tian Xiaong was taken aback. Her family’s condition was average, yet they had at least one out of three als a day with at in their dishes. But these children could only have a al with at in two or three days, whereas they were precisely at their growth spurt...
Her vision fell onto the dish and she attempted to find the largest piece of pork at. She ended up disappointed since the largest piece of at she could find was only a thin, two thumbs wide piece.
On the live channel, the number of viewers now had exceeded 810,000. The comnts that kept rolling on in the comntary section previously stopped at this ti. No one posted any comnt for a long ti. Everyone’s eyes were glued to the scene of the children wolfing down their al. The more they followed and watched, the more they showed concern, as even tears broke out in their eyes. Pity and a sour feeling filled their hearts and in particular, there was also a depressing feeling which especially made them uncomfortable; feeling at a loss and stumped, unable to say anything.
It was not just their als. It was more than that since they could clearly see the tattered cotton-wadded jackets these children wore. Many had stitches and patches on and they could even see cotton pad exposed on the shoulder of a small boy.
What was the most unsettling scene for them was that the oldest among these children seed to be in their teens, whereas the youngest was placed in a small stroller nearby. There was a clear sign of frostbite on her thin, small face, whereas so other children had frostbites on the back of their hands along with traces of bloodstains.
Tian Xiaong was silent for a very long period of ti. Only when Tang Xiu ca toward her did she finally spoke to the cara, “All ngng’s viewers, ngng is really wanting to cry at this mont, but I fear that it will be shaful and awkward to cry out in front of these children. ngng is so sad, it’s really heart-rending seeing these pitiable children...”
A few seconds later, the comnts in the comntary section began to roll down crazily as countless people wrote their moods, feelings and were itching to do sothing. Even various gifts and rewards began to flood the live broadcast screen, nearly blocking Tian Xiaong’s face.
Tian Xiaong lifted her head and waited for the tears in her eyes to slowly recede. She then lowered her head and solemnly said, “From today on until 12 AM of the 30th by the end of this year, all the gifts and rewards gifted by ng’s viewers and all the money will be donated to the Bluestar Welfare House. ngng will also donate 100,000 yuan from my own savings, which I hope is enough to buy more at and clothes for these children. ngng only hopes... that these children can have a warm and happy new year...”

Beijing, in a certain office building where Star Live Entertainnt dia Ltd. was headquartered.
At this mont, the chairman of the board—Wei Qing was among the viewers watching Tian Xiaong’s live broadcast. His face was a bit pale, and his slightly plump body was sowhat trembling, while clear tears glittered in the sockets of his eyes.
Snap...
He lit up a cigarette while he raised his head and looked up at the ceiling, trying not to let the tears fall down. Those children in the Bluestar Welfare House brought back mories of his past. He was also an orphan and lived in an orphanage in a small city in the Northwest Region where he spent his early life from five to 12 years old.
Life and living conditions back then was arduous and difficult. He recalled a longing to have so at in his al in the past, mories which made his eyes turn red. After he was adopted by his adoptive parents and by the ti he graduated from college at the age of 22, he had never returned to that small town neither did he visit that orphanage again.
He recalled that after he turned 22 and graduated from college, he received his first-month salary from his job, and half of the money was sent by mail to that orphanage. He also sent the orphanage so money in the next few years, but never sent even a di after the Dean of the orphanage passed away due to illness.
If it wasn’t for this live broadcast, he knew that he really would have forgotten the orphanage he had once lived in, and forgotten the hard and difficult living conditions there.
“I gotta go to the live broadcast room!”
Wei Qing suddenly got up and strode toward the live broadcast room. After seeing more than a dozen employees busy at work inside, he imdiately spoke in a heavy voice, “Split Tian ngng’s live broadcast screen into two. I need to call and speak to her in person.”
The few staff exchanged puzzled looks but still executed Wei Qing’s order.
****
At Bluestar Welfare House.
Seeing the rewards that kept coming in her live broadcast, Tian ngng felt warm inside. This sort of good deed made her feel proud and fulfilled. At the sa ti, she also felt grateful to Tang Xiu. No matter if it was the number of her subscribers that already surpassed 1 million at the mont or the gifts and rewards bestowed by her viewers, it really touched and moved her.
“Umm?” Tian Xiaong’s expression suddenly moved as saw that the window of her live broadcast screen was divided into two halves and a slightly plump face then appeared on the other half of the screen.
“ngng, I apologize for disturbing your live broadcast. I’m the chairman of the Star Live Entertainnt dia Ltd., Wei Qing,” Wei Qing’s attitude was very amiable, and inexplicable emotions were still on his face.
Tian Xiaong was stunned. Her live broadcast platform was under the Star Live Entertainnt dia Ltd. So to say, this middle-aged man who appeared all of a sudden was her Big Boss?
“Y-you are... Hello!” Tian Xiaong stutteringly replied.
“I’ve been watching your live broadcast, and to be honest, your live broadcast is the only one that deeply moved and touched my heart ever since I established the Star Live Broadcast platform. I’m also very grateful to you for making retrospect on myself, reminding of sothing I have forgotten as ti passed by, finally returning to my forr self.
“Actually, I’m also an orphan. I grew up in an orphanage when I was a child. I still rember...”
The story narrated by Wei Qing was very slow yet very clear. After having narrating his past in the orphanage, he finally concluded with a bitter expression, “I really regret it. I really regret not going back and having a look at the orphanage even once all these years. Even though the Dean who had cared for had already passed away due to sickness, the uncles and aunts over there were also very caring toward ; and also those brothers and sisters who lived with in the orphanage I grew up with. Today, I suddenly realized that I really don’t have even a shred of conscience for forgetting about them after I beca rich and gained so power.”
“I don’t want to apologize for what I’ve done, however. What I want to do is to make up for it. ngng, please convey my thanks to Divine Doctor Tang. After speaking with you, I’ll imdiately return to that small town to visit the orphanage I used to live before, of which I don’t know its condition at present. Let the deeds I will do make up for my mistakes. I want to make it so the other children will to never have to experience being unable to eat until their bellies full and having no clothes to keep their bodies warm. Like what I have gone through in the past!”
Tang Xiu had been standing quietly beside Tian Xiaong while watching Wei Qing in the live broadcast room and listening to everything he said from deep within his heart. All of which created an inexplicable emotion to surge up inside his heart.
It’s a very warm and genial feeling!
