Chapter 89 For a moment, Song Zhi Ning was somewhat stunned.
Why do geniuses emerge from the mountains?

Is it because the phoenix once broke its wings and fell into the mountains, thus giving birth to a genius?
On the way to Jiupan Village, Ke Yifei kept thinking about this sentence.

Did the phoenix give birth to a genius? If the genius refers to Hu Zi, then does the phoenix refer to... Hu Zi's mother?
Ke Yifei was momentarily dazed, then realized that perhaps once he got to Hu Zi's house, he could see what Hu Zi's mother was like.

After two hours of treacherous mountain road, it was completely dark by the time we were halfway there.

Ahead, Ke Yifei and Hu Zi are chatting enthusiastically.

"Tiger, do you usually get dark halfway home from school?"

"Correct."

"Then you're not afraid?"

"Afraid."

"Then why do you still walk every day?"

“But my grandparents are too old to come pick me up. My dad has to work in the fields to grow crops, and my uncle’s situation isn’t very good either. I have to walk by myself. Uncle Ke, I’m scared, but I want to study even more! As long as I think about being able to study, becoming successful in the future, and being able to lead my grandparents, dad, and uncle out of the mountains, I’m not afraid of anything.”

The innocent yet spirited voice of a 10-year-old child lingered in everyone's ears.

"Tiger has a lot of ambition."

"Not bad, kid, I have high hopes for you."

Everyone was praising Hu Zi. Even Ke Yifei, who had been somewhat suspicious because of Song Zhi Ning's words, had his suspicions dispelled.

His heart was filled with Hu Zi's words, and he felt an urge to support Hu Zi and help him realize his dream.

Song Zhi Ning's gaze fell on Hu Zi's small back. The dim light around her made it impossible to see the coldness in her eyes or the slight sneer at the corner of her mouth.

Only Shen Xingyi, who was closest to her, saw it.

"Ningning, don't you like that kid named Huzi?" Shen Xingyi asked.

Song Zhining nodded almost without hesitation.

Shen Xingyi simply said "oh" and didn't say anything more.

Song Zhining asked him, "Don't you think I'm being wrong, or cold?"

Shen Xingyi shook his head. "How could that be? Putting aside the fact that the Song Zhining I know is a kind and warm-hearted person, you would never have a bad impression of someone for no reason. If you really have a bad impression, then it must be that person's problem."

"Besides, even putting aside what kind of person that is, I only met that child today, while we have an almost life-or-death friendship. Of course I should trust you and stand on your side."

As he spoke, he secretly leaned close to Song Zhining's ear and said, "I originally thought the child was good, but now, I don't think he's so good anymore."

Shen Xingyi couldn't deny that he was influenced by Song Zhining, but he felt that the feeling wasn't bad.

The flashlight in my hand illuminated the shaky road ahead, while the surrounding light remained dim.

The two were very close at this moment, only two or three centimeters apart.

When Song Zhi Ning looked up, she was met with Shen Xing Yi's clear eyes. Perhaps they were so pure that even the countless blue stars twinkling in the night sky were reflected in Shen Xing Yi's eyes.

For a moment, his eyes shone brightly, and within those eyes, countless stars surrounded a small spot, where her face was reflected.

The mountain breeze seemed to have quieted down at that moment.

For a moment, Song Zhining was stunned.

I felt that Shen Xingyi looked better at this moment than ever before.

It wasn't until a staff member ahead seemed to have kicked a stone and let out a scream that Song Zhining's thoughts were pulled back.

Song Zhi Ning smiled at Shen Xing Yi, took two steps forward, and muttered to herself, "Shen Xing Yi truly lives up to his divine looks; he's really handsome." Shen Xing Yi's gaze fell on Song Zhi Ning's back in front of him. The dim light made it impossible to see the slight upturn of his lips.

Another hour passed, and we finally arrived at Jiupan Village.

Their arrival brought lights to the homes of Jiupan Village, which had been shrouded in darkness. Like a dormant beast that had sensed the presence of strangers, it came to life and began to move.

As for the intention behind the action, no one knows.

Song Zhining observed that Jiupan Village was really small; you could see the whole village at a glance.

I heard there are only about thirty households.

Shen Xingyi chose the little girl Huahua, and the family that Ke Yifei chose, Hu Zi's family, were a few houses apart, but not far apart.

Song Zhi Ning took a deep look at the Li family, and then followed Shen Xing Yi to Hua Hua's house.

Meanwhile, Ke Yifei had already entered the Li family's residence.

The entire Li family came out to greet Ke Yifei, and they were very welcoming to him.

He even took Ke Yifei to his room. Old Li was a little cautious. "Ke, Teacher Ke, right? I'm sorry, my house is small, so I could only make do with this place for you to stay. But we've cleaned it all up."

Ke Yifei glanced at it and realized it was indeed very small, even smaller and more rudimentary than his own toilet.

But it was cleaned very well. Besides, Ke Yifei isn't the kind of person who can't endure hardship.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have entered the entertainment industry; he could have stayed at home and been enjoying the dividends from the family business, which would have been enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

"It's okay, it's fine."

After putting down his luggage, Ke Yifei was led to wash up. The production crew then temporarily left and slept at a nearby house, planning to return for filming the next morning.

There are no cameras here at night.

After washing up, Ke Yifei didn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, he talked with the Li family under a dim light.

If you want to sponsor Tiger, you should learn more about his family.

After scanning the room, Ke Yifei's gaze lingered on Hu Zi's uncle, who was in his thirties, for a couple more seconds.

Old Li noticed Ke Yifei's lingering gaze and took the initiative to step forward and explain to Ke Yifei.

He said that was his youngest son, who had a high fever when he was young, and because they didn't have the money for treatment, his brain was damaged, and he is now mentally challenged.

Old Li was in tears, saying, "Even if he becomes an idiot, he's still my son. It's my fault for being useless and not having the money to treat him."

"It's my fault. I have a responsibility to support him for the rest of my life."

"Old man," the old woman cried too.

Tiger's father stepped forward and hugged his younger brother, saying, "Mom and Dad, Shuanzi is also my brother, and I will take care of him too."

"Tiger will also take care of his uncle." Even Tiger clenched his little fists to show his support.

This scene was both heartwarming and showed great unity.

It has to be said that this softened Ke Yifei's heart even more.

Although the Li family was poor, they still received a good education.

If this happened in another family, with the youngest son in this situation, everyone except his parents would probably dislike him and wouldn't even think about raising him.

Even the youngest member of the Li family, Hu Zi, said he wanted to support his uncle, which shows that this is how the family is raised.
