Qin Chuan regretted it as soon as he sent the message.

How could a grown man like him know what would make a teenage girl feel down?

After the other person quickly replied with "What's wrong?", Qin Chuan called for Xiao Ning.

"What were your worries when you were a teenager?"

Xiao Ning was stunned for a moment. Under Qin Chuan's gaze, he said with difficulty, "I forgot."

Qin Chuan: "Just give me a random example."

Xiao Ning had no choice but to rack his brains and recall, "My biggest worry was probably my grades. My score was just barely on the cusp of getting into a key school, so it was a bit uncertain. My family was very worried and even got me a tutor. I was going crazy from the sea of practice problems every day..."

Qin Chuan: "Anything else?"

Xiao Ning: "Losing weight, I guess. I had my eye on a dress back then, but my waist wasn't slim enough. It bothered me for a whole semester, and I still remember it now."

Qin Chuan frowned.

These were all the worries of a teenage girl. It wasn't that they weren't real, but they were clearly not enough to comfort Bo He.

Qin Chuan: "Is there anything more serious?"

Xiao Ning: ...

The two looked at each other in dismay.

Xiao Ning stammered, "Does family conflict count?"

Qin Chuan: "Tell me."

Xiao Ning: "I'm not too clear on the specific reasons. I just remember that my parents fought a lot during that time and even brought up divorce once. I was caught in the middle, and it was pretty awful. They would always ask me in private who I wanted to live with. But they talked it out later, and everything was fine again."

Qin Chuan was lost in thought.

Xiao Ning: "Are you, uh, conducting a survey?"

Qin Chuan said casually, "A friend's child has been in low spirits lately but won't say why. I'm just helping to ask around."

Xiao Ning had a sudden realization and said sympathetically, "Teenagers have delicate minds. Plus, they're all growing up with encouraging education now, so they're even more fragile than we were back in the day. If things go wrong, they might threaten to jump off a building. You really have to be careful."

The pseudo-teenager said with a deadpan expression, "...Go make me a cup of Bi Luo Chun."

...

For the film crew, the daily shooting schedule was fixed. If they couldn't finish on time, it would be postponed, and the entire crew would have to work overtime.

Zhuo Yi was well aware of this. After chatting with everyone for a bit and satisfying most people's requests for photos and autographs, he took the initiative to suggest to Director An that they start working.

Bo He took the opportunity to say goodbye to Zhuo Yi and Ouyang, then left the bustling film set and headed back to the hotel to rest first.

Given Zhuo Yi's affectionate attitude just now, Bo He knew that if she stayed any longer today, it would only add a lot of unnecessary trouble.

She had no desire to enter the entertainment industry, nor did she want to use her connection with Zhuo Yi to do anything. The intentional or unintentional attentiveness from others was all unnecessary to her.

The lead actress caught a glimpse of Bo He's departing figure from the corner of her eye and casually praised Zhuo Yi, "You've got a good goddaughter. She's low-key and sensible."

Zhuo Yi smiled, "Her ambitions don't lie here, and I don't want to force her. She's also unwilling to rely on our connection. Sometimes I really don't know what to do with her."

The lead actress: "She has strong self-esteem, then."

"No, not really," Zhuo Yi shook his head. "How should I put it... she has a clearer and more thorough understanding of life than most people. Besides, she's fated to have benefactors. Even without me, she'd still be able to live a comfortable and carefree life."

The lead actress chuckled, "Fated to have benefactors? Is that a new phrase you invented? Why does it sound so strange?"

Zhuo Yi: "Hey, don't laugh. I'm serious. No matter where she goes or what she encounters, a benefactor always appears to help her, turning misfortune into good fortune. That's a skill others couldn't learn even if they wanted to."

The lead actress was likely a fortune-telling enthusiast. Hearing this, she said seriously, "Then that means she has a noble destiny. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to lead you all out of danger back then."

Zhuo Yi laughed heartily, "I don't know if other people have a noble destiny, but my goddaughter has a warm heart. When she sees someone in trouble, she'll always lend a hand if it's within her power. I still remember a couple of years ago, she went out to buy something at night and saw a girl being followed on her way home from a night shift. Anyone else would have ignored it, but she was audaciously brave. She followed that person into the residential complex, and when she saw him keep tailing the girl, she secretly called the police first and then followed them upstairs."

Applying and setting makeup for the main actors was a time-consuming and laborious process, so the two chatted to pass the time. The makeup artist at the side was also listening intently and couldn't help but ask.

"What happened then? Was Miss Bo okay?"

"Later, she saw that the man indeed had ill intentions toward the woman, so she went up and stopped him."

The lead actress also asked, "Was the man very weak and skinny?"

Zhuo Yi: "He was said to be quite strong, a bit taller than me even."

The lead actress clicked her tongue in amazement, "Then she was too reckless. If that were my child, even if she were doing a good deed, she can't just disregard her own safety. I would have definitely given her a harsh scolding."

The makeup artist said, "The police must have arrived just in time, right?"

Zhuo Yi held back a laugh, "I told you you'd never guess. When the police arrived, the man was lying at the top of the stairs with a sprained ankle, begging the police to get justice for him with tears and snot all over his face."

The lead actress was dumbfounded, "Bo He hit him?"

Zhuo Yi nodded, "She didn't exactly hit him. She just pushed him down the stairs during the scuffle. The guy had been drinking, so he just rolled down and couldn't get back up."

The makeup artist let out a snort of laughter. "Miss Bo is quite strong."

Zhuo Yi: "Don't be fooled by her delicate and easy-to-bully appearance, looking like a gust of wind could blow her away. I can't even beat her in an arm wrestle."

The lead actress said, "Wow, a true master doesn't show her skills."

Zhuo Yi: "The most incredible part is that the girl she helped, her family worked at a newspaper agency. Later, to thank her, they wrote a report and published it in the paper. They also sent a silk banner to her school. To commend Xiao He, the school helped her apply for the 'Good Samaritan Citizen Award'. It just so happened that a provincial leader was visiting their area for an inspection, heard about the matter, and conveniently bumped her award up a level, saying they needed to promote the spirit of contemporary university students acting heroically for just causes, and had her attend the provincial commendation ceremony. I heard that later when she graduated, the family of the girl she helped even offered to find her a job, but Xiao He politely declined."

Someone else remarked, "That's really something. When other people do good deeds, they don't necessarily get rewarded, but when she does good deeds, others are always grateful."

Zhuo Yi said with a broad smile, "Otherwise, why would I say she's fated to have benefactors? But then again, if it were someone else, regardless of whether there's a reward, they wouldn't have the courage or the skill. They would hesitate when encountering something like this, afraid of getting into trouble. But she's different. As her godfather, I can only constantly remind her to be careful and calm, just as you said. A girl, after all, shouldn't be too reckless."

Though he said that, the proud air of a guardian couldn't be concealed at all.

...

When Bo He got to her hotel room, she finally saw her disciple's reply—

My father was unfaithful. After my mother passed away from illness, we rarely spoke.

It took Bo He several seconds to realize she had been standing at the doorway, having even forgotten to close the door.

She couldn't be more clear about what the lack of a family meant to a child.

Humans are, after all, social animals, not lone wolves that can roam the wilderness, all by themselves.

No matter how much one obtains later in life, it is always the love given by parents at the very beginning that is the most profound.

But, not everyone has a pair of parents willing to give their children love.

Some people have weak family bonds; although their parents may have their own selfish intentions, they can at least fulfill their basic responsibilities.

But some people don't even get to enjoy this small amount of family affection.

Bo He's heart suddenly softened.

She typed out many words, then felt they were inappropriate, and ended up deleting them one by one.

Qin Chuan waited and waited, but didn't receive a reply.

Just as he was about to get up to refill his teacup, a voice message suddenly came from the other side.

He played it.

"Don't be sad. I'll play games with you."
