Gold Medal Sweetheart

Chapter 448 Charity Activities

That day, Tang Xin was lying on the sofa bored after dinner when she received a WeChat message from An Qi.

Angels are crazy too: I’ve collected likes, I’ve collected likes, Tangtang, please go and like my circle of friends, I just need a few more and I can exchange it for a box of egg tarts for free.

Angel is the most enthusiastic about this kind of promotion, especially when it is related to food, so she is even more enthusiastic.

:OK.

After Tang Xin gave An Qi a brief reply, she went to look at the liked message on her Moments.

As expected, there were already many small hearts from her familiar friends underneath that line, so Tang Xin also added her own.

After liking the post, she scrolled down her friends' circle and browsed through it, and then a striking photo caught her eye.

YU: Surprises and gifts are all prepared for people I love.

Below the text in Guan Yushan’s circle of friends was a photo of a Western restaurant with red wine and exquisite dishes.

Even though there were no people in the photo, Tang Xin could tell from the question Yu Shan had asked her a few days ago about Jin Taize's taste in food that this restaurant was the one that she had told Yu Shan about, which was Jin Taize's favorite Western restaurant.

Moreover, when Tang Xin saw that the dishes on the table were all the ones that Jin Taize always ordered, she was even more certain that the person accompanying Yu Shan for dinner was undoubtedly Jin Taize.

Her heart ached. She had clearly made preparations to withdraw from Jin Taize's life, and she knew that the person with Jin Taize was her best friend. However, Tang Xin still felt a little self-blame and guilt when she thought that she was still sad about losing Jin Taize.

Such thoughts made her despise herself. Not only was she unmotivated, she was even a little selfish.

But no matter how she condemned herself and prepared herself mentally, the corners of her mouth were still unconsciously soaked by the salty and astringent liquid.

Tang Xin touched her cheek unconsciously, and didn't know when two lines of tears had quietly slid down.

She thought she could let go of the feelings easily, but even though the person who had Jin Taize was her best friend, she still felt a deep sense of resentment in her heart.

It was not until this moment that Tang Xin realized that it was over. Her love for Jin Taize had already been deeply engraved in her bones and blood when she was least prepared.

After this discovery, Tang Xin no longer had the courage to face Guan Yushan or Jin Taize's circle of friends.

So, when Zhang Meng from "Love Help" called her and told her that the latest charity event was to go to the mountainous area to donate stationery and books to the children in the village, Tang signed up without thinking.

The event lasted for three days, but considering that everyone had their own work to do, the team leader Dazhao specially chose the weekend time.

So, Tang Xin asked Director Zhang for a day off, left Zhigang in the pet shop, packed her luggage and set off.

The target of this charity event is Mengcun, a remote mountain village across the province. The journey is a bit far and the geographical location is not easy to find. In addition, there is a mountain road to walk on. Therefore, under the leadership of the team leader Dazhao, the volunteer team did not drive fast and rested several times on the way. It was dusk when they arrived at the village entrance.

At this time, village official Secretary Meng and several young people were waiting at the entrance of the village. When they saw Dazhao and others getting out of the car, they hurried to greet them.

Secretary Meng smiled awkwardly, his already wrinkled face looking even more worn. "Team Leader Dazhao, I'm so sorry, but the village is undergoing road construction. These days, only electric tricycles can enter, so your cars probably won't be able to get in."

Dazhao looked behind him in the direction of Secretary Meng's finger. The village road, which was originally not very wide, now had high and low piles of earth on both sides, and the small road in the middle was still paved with earth and stones and other materials.

"A family in the village has two empty rooms, and I plan to arrange for the volunteers to stay there," Secretary Meng continued. "So I brought a few young men here on electric tricycles to help with luggage and other things."

Da Zhao smiled innocently, "You've been very thoughtful. I'll trouble you, brothers. As for the things for the children, you might need to make two trips."

Secretary Meng excitedly shook Dazhao's hand, his eyes moist. "What are you talking about? You came all the way here to deliver the things the children desperately need. We can't thank you enough. How can you say it's a bother?"

With the help of villagers, the volunteers' luggage and donated items were moved to their temporary residence.

The girls were all assigned to the same room. The bed in the room was the traditional farmhouse kang. Everyone found it very novel when they saw it. One reason was that they had grown up in the city and had never seen this before, and the other was that everyone could sleep together.

Due to the fatigue from the journey, everyone simply ate the farm dishes prepared by Secretary Meng and went to bed.

During the day, when everyone was together chatting and laughing, Tang Xin felt fine. But now that her friends were gradually falling asleep and she was looking at the vast and low starry sky, a feeling of loneliness inexplicably welled up in her heart.

Although she hid in this remote village, she still couldn't suppress her overwhelming longing for someone.

Zhang Meng couldn't sleep either, so she wrapped herself in a quilt and moved closer to Tang Xin.

"The starry sky is so beautiful. It seems that we can't see such a pure sky in our city." Looking up at the distant night sky, Zhang Meng said with emotion.
