Although I knew from the start that Ai Qingqing must have something to ask for.

But when Ai Qingqing said that, Su Ming felt a bit displeased.

Even so, Su Ming still motioned for Ai Qingqing to continue.

He only saw Ai Qingqing shake her head without speaking, instead putting on her pajamas and walking into the bathroom.

After a while, she came out, her face once again adorned with a smile!!!

"You first go wash up, I'll take you somewhere in a bit."

Not knowing what Ai Qingqing was up to, Su Ming still took a shower.

Yesterday's alcohol fumes, yesterday's fight, yesterday's struggle.

It felt like everything was washed away after this shower.

Stepping out of the bathroom, Su Ming was bare-chested.

When Ai Qingqing saw Su Ming's body, her eyes widened.

"Oh my God, what a body!"

Yesterday while getting things done, because the lights were off, Ai Qingqing hadn't taken a close look.

Now seeing it like this, it really was quite irresistible!!!

Su Ming chuckled but didn't say anything, went back to the room, and put on his clothes.

When Su Ming came out, Ai Qingqing brought over a bowl of noodles.

"You must be hungry, have something to eat."

Seeing this, Su Ming was startled, then raised his head to look at Ai Qingqing.

"You..."

However, the words didn't come out and he chose to eat the noodles silently.

Soon, the noodles were finished, and Ai Qingqing pulled Su Ming to leave.

"The place is not close, I'll take you by bike."

As she spoke, Ai Qingqing took out a helmet and handed it to Su Ming.

Looking at the little scooter in front of him, Su Ming couldn't help but smile, it had been a long time since he sat on one of these.

However, after getting on the scooter, Su Ming regretted it.

He could hardly imagine, a girl like Ai Qingqing could have such a wild spirit inside.

The whole way, they zipped around, even racing with cars.

The key was, they succeeded every time.

When they reached the place, Su Ming was utterly dazed.

"What are you standing there for? Get down."

Only when Su Ming got off did he realize he was in front of an orphanage.

"It's really an orphanage."

Su Ming raised an eyebrow, initially thinking Ai Qingqing fabricated her background, never expecting it to be true.

As they walked to the entrance of the orphanage, a guard nearly seventy years old came out.

"Oh, it's little Ai, what brings you here? Not working today?"

"Heh heh heh, Uncle Zhao, I came to see Mom Wang, this is my friend."

Uncle Zhao glanced at Su Ming, his smile growing bigger.

"Alright, alright, little Ai has grown up, come on in."

Then Ai Qingqing took Su Ming into the courtyard.

This courtyard wasn't small, with a pavilion and a toy castle among other facilities.

But it was apparent that many of the house's facilities were severely aging.

Moreover, this orphanage was located in an old factory area, where most of the residents had relocated due to demolition, soon to be vacated.

"Uncle Zhao used to be a scavenger, but Mom Wang, with her kind heart, took Uncle Zhao in."

"Mom Wang's genuine kindness wasn't in vain, Uncle Zhao is a good person, often buying us treats when we were kids."

"But, over these years, Uncle Zhao has aged too."

As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, a dozen children ran out from inside the house.

"Sister Xia Ai."

Seeing Ai Qingqing, these children were very enthusiastic.

Ai Qingqing also took candies from her bag and distributed them to these children.

"They are all orphans, picked up by Mom Wang or brought here by someone, ever since."

As they spoke, the two entered the house.

Inside a room, a woman in her sixties lay on the bed.

Beside her was a boy about twelve or thirteen years old.

"Mom Wang, have a sip."

The boy held a bowl of soup medicine, gently blowing on it, then offered it to Mom Wang's lips.

Mom Wang opened her mouth to sip.

When Ai Qingqing and Su Ming walked in, the boy's eyes lit up instantly.

"Mom Wang, Sister Xia Ai is here."

Hearing Ai Qingqing was here, Mom Wang opened her eyes, wanting to sit up but failed.

Seeing this, Su Ming quickly stepped forward, came to Mom Wang's side, and helped her up.

"Xia Ai, who is this?"

"Mom Wang, this is this is my boyfriend, Su Ming."

While saying the word boyfriend, Ai Qingqing's face showed a shy expression.

"Oh, that's great."

Mom Wang, well into her sixties, plump with a face full of warmth, laughed cheerfully, giving a close feeling.

"Mom Wang, how are you feeling now?"

Ai Qingqing sat beside Mom Wang, asking with concern.

"Much better. I just have old age ailments, nothing serious."

Before Mom Wang could finish, the boy beside her spoke up: "Sister Xia Ai, Mom Wang's health is getting worse, she didn't sleep at all last night!"

"Xiao Tao, you rascal, what are you saying? Out you go!"

Mom Wang reproached Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao said no more and turned to leave the room.

After Xiao Tao left, Mom Wang sighed.

"It's nothing serious with me, I'm not incapacitated, just weak below."

"But it doesn't affect my daily life."

"You don't need to worry about me, I'm satisfied seeing you happy."

"And then, I'm worried about Yueyue."

After a while, Su Ming came out of the room.

Seeing Xiao Tao hadn't left, but was crouching nearby.

Su Ming walked over to Xiao Tao, smiling softly: "Are you the oldest among you?"

Xiao Tao nodded: "Yeah, Mom Wang always wants me to go to school, but I don't want to, I want to stay with Mom Wang and take care of her, she's already like this, can't leave her alone."

Hearing this, Su Ming looked at the boy in front of him with fresh eyes.

"What's the situation with your Mom Wang? And, who is Yueyue?"

Mentioning Yueyue, Xiao Tao instantly stood up, a face filled with hatred.

"It's those villains, if not for them, how could Mom Wang get injured, and Yueyue would not still be lying in the hospital."

From the conversation, Su Ming learned that the place was about to be demolished.

But the demolition compensation hadn't been negotiated properly.

The actual amount offered was vastly different from what was initially agreed on.

Mom Wang was unwilling.

After all, she had so many children to care for.

The other party intended to demolish violently.

During the dispute, Mom Wang was pushed over, injuring her spine.

And the girl named Yueyue was hit on the head, now still in a coma in the hospital.

"The doctor said, to cure Yueyue, it would cost at least a hundred thousand."

"We... have no money."
