Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

Su Fengnan thought about it and agreed, so she nodded: "Okay, I'll call him after dinner."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chenyu's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. His little girl truly captured his heart.

After dinner, Su Fengxia tactfully went home first. Su Fengnan and Zhou Chenyu strolled side by side, walking slowly back. On the way, Su Fengnan dialed Sun Zile's number again, and the familiar voice quickly came through the receiver: "Hello, Sun Zile..."

When Sun Zile saw that the caller ID showed Su Fengnan, he couldn't hide his smile as he answered the phone: "Su Fengnan, you finally called me."

"Um..." Su Fengnan paused, then boldly asked, "I just wanted to ask where the Hope Primary School is located? I'd like to plan my route in advance and also ask for leave."

"I've received all the supplies over the past few days, and everything is ready to go at any time," Sun Zile said cheerfully.

Su Fengnan subconsciously glanced at Zhou Chenyu beside her, hesitating to speak, "I...I'm not ready yet. Why don't you go first, and I'll catch up with you once I'm ready?"

"No, what haven't you prepared? You don't need to worry about anything, I've arranged everything, you just need to go."

"I've prepared a batch of bread and snacks for the kids, which need to be made fresh, so..."

"No problem, I'll wait until you're ready, then we'll set off together."

Su Fengnan remained silent, and Sun Zile didn't urge her any further, patiently waiting for her to consider. After a while, Su Fengnan finally uttered a few words softly: "Let me think about it some more, I'll give you an answer later."

"OK……"

After hanging up the phone, Su Fengnan looked up at Zhou Chenyu, her tone tinged with apology and uncertainty: "Brother Zhou, Sun Zile didn't explain clearly. It seems he's determined to have me come along... Why don't we go together?"

Zhou Chenyu naturally noticed her predicament and, without any hesitation, gently agreed, "It's alright, Nan'er, I'll go with you." He took her hand, and the two continued walking slowly side by side. He casually asked, "When will the snacks you're preparing for the children be ready?"

"I've already asked Hai Ge to make them; they're small bread rolls and nougat. They should be ready soon. He'll let me know when they're done."

"Okay, how about we leave first thing tomorrow morning? The sooner we get there, the sooner we can come back."

"it is good."

Immediately afterward, Su Fengnan replied to her grandson, confirming their plan to depart early the next morning. Since it was the weekend, Su Fengnan didn't even need to ask for leave.

That evening, Su Fengnan and Su Fengxia got into Zhou Chenyu's car and sped towards Zhucheng. Upon arriving in Zhucheng, Zhou Chenyu dropped the Su sisters off at their shop and then left to arrange supplies and the accompanying truck.

Inside the dessert shop, the group busily worked together to pack Hai Ge's freshly baked nougat and bread. With the supplies neatly stacked, everything was ready.

However, considering that the shop also needed help, Su Fengxia decided not to go to the mountains this time. She stayed behind instead of joining the crowd, and she also wanted to go back to school early on Sunday to distribute the bread that her classmates had ordered.

The next morning, under the bright sunshine, a large group of people drove a convoy towards a Hope Primary School deep in southwestern Guizhou.

Before setting off, Su Fengnan was surprised to find that Zhang Wenhao and his sister had also come along.

"I didn't expect you guys to come too?" Su Fengnan rolled down her car window and smiled at Zhang Xinrui, who was leaning out of the car next to her.

Zhang Xinrui grinned and gave a "V" sign, "Of course! How could we miss out on such a great opportunity!"

Seeing her so full of energy, Su Fengnan, who had been worried that the long journey would be boring, no longer felt bored at all.

Along the way, whenever they stopped to rest, Zhang Xinrui and Su Fengnan would get out of the car and huddle together for a breath of fresh air, chattering and laughing non-stop.

Watching the two girls chatting happily not far away, Sun Zile leaned against the hood of his car, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over Zhou Chenyu standing on the other side. Zhang Wenhao scratched his head, noticing the two men with clashing auras, and wisely kept quiet. The three men kept a distance, none of them initiating a conversation, only able to provide logistical support and unable to get a word in edgewise with the girls.

The journey was arduous, but the road conditions became increasingly difficult in the latter half. The narrow dirt road was full of potholes, and the car bumped along, stopping and starting frequently. It took a full seven or eight hours to finally arrive at Hope Primary School at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The principal had already been notified, and two neat rows of children stood at the school gate, waving bright red flags. As soon as everyone got off the bus, they were greeted by enthusiastic, childlike shouts: "Welcome! Welcome! A warm welcome!"

Although the children's school uniforms were faded from washing and some had patches on the cuffs, their upturned little faces shone with smiles as pure and bright as the sunshine.

The principal standing at the front was a woman in her fifties, with a kind face but shrewd and capable eyes. She quickly stepped forward, her gaze sweeping over the crowd: "Excuse me, which one of you is Mr. Sun Zile?"

Sun Zile quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Hello, Principal Dong, I am Sun Zile."

The principal warmly grasped his hand, his voice trembling with emotion: "Mr. Sun, thank you so much for your selfless love. The children are so fortunate to finally be able to study in a spacious and bright classroom."

"Principal Dong, you're too kind. Children are the hope of the future. We've only done what we could. As long as the children can learn in a good environment, it's all worth it."

Holding the principal's rough yet warm hands tightly, Sun Zile's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he quickly explained, "But Principal Dong, I'm not actually the real donor; I'm just acting as an intermediary."

Upon hearing this, Su Fengnan's heart skipped a beat, and she felt an immense increase in pressure. She subconsciously shrank behind Zhou Chenyu, wishing she could hide in the shadows and desperately minimize her presence.

Principal Dong was clearly stunned. He blinked and asked blankly, "Huh? Not you? Then who is the real benefactor?"

Sun Zile withdrew his hand, turned to look at the figure trying to hide, and deliberately shouted, "Su Fengnan, stop hiding, come forward!"

Being called out in public, Su Fengnan's face instantly turned bright red. She was a hundred times unwilling to step forward, but under everyone's gaze, she felt like she was being roasted over a fire; though she resisted, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and stand up. Just as she was at a loss, Zhou Chenyu turned his head, looked at her calmly, and silently offered an encouraging look.

Encouraged by Zhou Chenyu, Su Fengnan composed herself and stepped forward with a slight bow: "Hello, Principal Dong..."

When Principal Dong saw that the visitor was a young girl, he was clearly taken aback. His gaze darted back and forth between Sun Zile and Su Fengnan, as if trying to confirm the truth of Sun Zile's words.

Seeing this, Sun Zile smiled and explained, "Principal Dong, this is the real donor, Su Fengnan. I was just helping out; I can't take all the credit. The one we should really thank is her."
