Chapter 22: We won’t let you off!
The male stars face was a kaleidoscope of emotions. It was almost like a performance of changing faces. To Qi Yuns surprise, he actually spoke up.
Bro! I really love this song.
Qi Yun: I appreciate your sincerity, but I cant sell the song.
Cant sell it? The chubby manager was getting anxious.
Think about it, we can negotiate a good price!
Its not about the money, the song already belongs to her. Qi Yun pointed to a bewildered Lian Qingxue.
Me?
This song is for you. Everything about it belongs to you, Qi Yun said gently.
Lian Qingxues face turned slightly red, but she didnt refuse, her face was full of an uncontrollable sweet smile.
Little girl, sell the song to me! The chubby manager immediately switched targets.
Lian Qingxue shook her head: Not selling!
The chubby manager was still not willing to give up. He remembered that when he came over, the dean had told him that Lian Qingxue cared the most about the orphanage. And the biggest problem of the orphanage was the lack of money.
We will pay a lot of money! Think about it, with money, you can help the orphanage, right?
A struggle flashed across Lian Qingxues face.
Seeing a chance, the chubby manager became more spirited.
Well pay fifty thousand!
Lian Qingxue didnt say a word.
One hundred thousand!
Lian Qingxues face was even more conflicted.
Two hundred thousand! Little girl, two hundred thousand is a lot! We are really sincere!
Lian Qingxue lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking about. After a while, she raised her head, biting her lip: I dont want to sell it, no matter how much money, I dont want to sell it.
Hearing her say this, the chubby manager of course wouldnt give up. But no matter how he tried to persuade her afterward, Lian Qingxue just shook her head and didnt say a word.
Once the people from the TV station left, Qi Yun finally managed to escape from the chubby managers entanglement. After all, even though Lian Qingxue looked young, once she made a decision, she really wouldnt change it. The chubby manager tried to persuade her for a while, but he could only reluctantly look for Qi Yun again. Until it was time to leave, he still seemed unwilling to give up.
After everyone left, Qi Yun prepared to say goodbye to Lian Qingxue. But after looking around, he couldnt find her. It wasnt until he reached the deans office that he found Lian Qingxue talking to the dean with a dejected face.
Qi Yun approached with a bit of worry.
The sound of their conversation came from the room.
Qingxue, whats wrong? This was the deans voice.
Dean I came to apologize Lian Qingxues voice was a bit dull.
Apologize?
Today, that man offered to buy the song for two hundred thousand, and I refused. I know the orphanage needs money but
The room was filled with the deans helpless and pitiful voice: Its your song, if you want to sell it, sell it, if you dont, then dont. The affairs of the orphanage are our responsibility as adults, youre still a child.
But Im already eighteen, Im an adult. And I dont want to sell it, not because of the orphanage, but because of my own selfishness. Lian Qingxues voice was especially soft, making Qi Yuns heart ache: I just want this song, Qi Yuns gift to me, to belong only to me. I dont want to exchange it for money
Qi Yun froze.
The sound of Dean Lis deep sigh echoed from the room.
She spoke: Little Qingxue, do you remember your wish on your tenth birthday?
That year, when I asked you what your wish was, you listed a bunch of things.
You wished for me to be healthy, for the orphanage to have a library where children could read, for Xiao Yu to learn to draw, for a basketball court where the boys could play
Qi Yun was completely absorbed in listening.
You made so many wishes, but not a single one was for yourself. You remembered everyone else, but you forgot about yourself.
Dean Li touched Lian Qingxues head: How can you be selfish? Youre the least self-centered child I know.
Qi Yun looked at Lian Qingxue in the light, unsure of his feelings.
Thats just how she is. Xiao Yus voice came from beside him. Qi Yun turned to see her, her eyes red.
Behind her were the children who had earlier refused to let Qi Yun take Lian Qingxue away.
She always thinks of us, we cant be selfish either. We cant tie her down to us. From today on, we entrust her to you.
Xiao Yu said.
Qi Yun nodded.
Xiao Yu wiped her eyes, and clenched her small fists: Dont think you can bully her just because theres no one watching you! Qingxue may not have any relatives, but she has us!
If you treat her badly, we wont let you off!
