Chapter 25: "Just like she never gave up ...."
The next day ,
William escorted Xi Yuan and the other three Xi siblings to 'Youth Yeam NGO'.
When he arrived there , Xi Yuan was simply surprised.
There were almost four hundred kids around and the liveliness in this NGO was just amazing.
There was no trace of sadness on these kids' faces. Just what had this woman done to make them forget that they didn't had a family ?
Unlike any other NGO , this was a family in itself.
But , they were not just given a happy life .
Each and every kid here was trained to find his/her strengths and excel in that field.
It was evident from the certificates and medals that each one held.
Some were good with self-defence , while some were mini chefs .Some excelled in studies while some were trained for sports.
Some even used to do stand-up comedy .
The motto behind the formation of this NGO was extremely pure and beautiful.All these actors and artistes who used to contribute their earnings willingly to these kids , never wanted these children to be dependent on anyone.
Needless to say , Xi Yuan knew it very well where this strong sense of independence must have came from.
The most amazing thing he realised at that time was this huge organisation was the idea of his woman !
The way she joined two extremely different things like social welfare and entertainment industry benefiting the both was just praiseworthy !
No one would've ever thought about such an unique way to find investments in order to make an organisation this huge run !
Even he couldn't have had come up with such a plan!
Oh My God !
His girl could actually make an amazing businesswoman !
She had six brothers , and none of them were short on money but she still opted for this method rather than asking them for it .
Her six brothers aimed to make her independent and she aimed to make these kids independent.....
Such a beautiful soul...
Just as he was praising the girl in his heart , Xi Yuan heard the voice of a piano.
All the other three siblings also subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice was coming from.
They followed the voice ......
As they reached the room , all of them were stunned by the view in front of them.
Around 20-25 visually disabled kids were surrounding a piano...
.....and a girl was sitting in front of it.
Her fingers were dancing over the keys of piano with an extreme smoothness.
She was singing the song 'In My Blood' by Shawn Mendes and the kids were hearing her with serious expression on their faces....
{{{{{ "Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help me
I'm crawling in my skin
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
It isn't in my blood
I'm looking through my phone again, feeling anxious
Afraid to be alone again, I hate this
I'm trying to find a way to chill, can't breathe,
Is there somebody who could help me ,
It isn't in my blood
I need somebody now
It isn't in my blood
I need somebody now
It isn't in my blood " }}}}
Her voice .....
He knew that she had been a singer once....
But he never expected her voice to be so melodious , melancholious and sweet !
It was a shame she gave upon the entertainment industry.
The industry had lost a diamond and it even didn't realised that.
She looked even more pretty today.
Rong Xinghe was wearing a Navy Blue colour frock .
She was not the person he had met a day before , she was just someone else.
The woman today had love and care in her eyes , but the woman the day before had a fire in her eyes.
She was extremely capable to differentiate between her personal and professional life.
"Did you liked the song , hooligans ? " the girl asked in a mischieveous tone to the kids.
"Yes ! ! ! " All said collectively .
"Hehehe....Good ! Now tell me what conclusions do you guys have regarding the song ? " The girl asked as she smiled at the innocent faces.
Girl 1 : "He needs a strong medicine , Sis Xinghe ."
Boy 1 : " No ! he should just stop looking at the phone if he is feeling anxious ! "
Girl 2 : " He needs an inhaler Sis Xinghe ! He said he can't breathe. He must have asthama ! "
As soon as the girl heard their weird opinions , she burst out laughing.
Medicine?
Phone?
Inhaler?
Asthama?
This is what they have come up with?
Kids sure had a very different perspective than grown ups !
She then controlled her laughter , and looked at the kids seriously , " Nope ! What the singer is trying to convey is that no matter how anxious and helpless we are , giving up should not be an option. We are not made to give up. We need to keep fighting. Giving up isn't 'in our blood ' or we can say it isn't in our mind ."
A young boy raised his hand , " Just like you never gave up , Sis Xinghe ?"
The girl became quiet.
Every child in the NGO knew what happened to her nine years ago.
So she was basically their role model.
Yeah ! That was right !
She never gave up.
She never stopped believing in herself.
She never considered herself as a victim ! She always considered herself as a fighter !
"Yes ! Just like she never gave up ....." The girl heard some heavy yet steady footsteps approaching her from behind .
She turned to see a man walking towards her.
He smiled at her , " Good morning , Xinghe ! "
Xi Yuan was wearing a Black colour business suit. He looked extremely classy .
The moment the girl saw his smile , she went into a daze.
She kept staring at him .
Soon , the man came close at an appropriate distance and stood in front of her.
Rong Xinghe realised she had been staring at him for a while now.
She quickly reverted her gaze .
What the hell !
" Good morning ,Yuan ! " , the girl smiled back .
