Chapter 82：The Children's Song

Finally, the song "I Am Who I Am" came to an end, sung by the man sitting in a corner on the rooftop, radiating an invisible light.

The scene fell into a sudden silence.

Everyone's hearts pounded intensely, emotions surging uncontrollably!

The children were also gasping for breath, with tears welling up in their eyes.

No one dared to applaud, afraid of shattering the precious moment of reflection.

It seemed that what they had just heard wasn't merely a song but rather a deep resonance within their souls!

Everyone was left in awe.

He really was Di Yi!

No further explanation was needed!

Just the sound of his voice made everyone surrender in an instant.

People secretly rejoiced that their journey to Wang Hai District hadn't been in vain, despite the earlier fiasco with the fake Di Yi.

They were also grateful that the true music god Di Yi had not stood idly by.

In the old three-story building, Grandfather Tuo lay back on the sofa, feeling inexplicably moved after hearing "I Am Who I Am."

He knew better than anyone the hardships and hopes behind Liu Di and the children's story.

Of course, the song also resonated deeply within Grandfather Tuo.

Who hasn't transitioned from confusion and helplessness to an open-hearted outlook on life?

Grandfather Tuo smiled contentedly, raising his bottle of Erguotou towards the rooftop, as if toasting from afar. "Kid, keep it up!"

On the scene, both Yan Kaikai and Yan Xinxin were overwhelmed with excitement.

They clasped their hands together, placing them over their chests, hearts full of hope.

Di Yi, will you turn around? Will you let us see your face?

Of course, they weren't the only ones with such thoughts.

Almost everyone present anticipated that moment when he would turn around.

But out of deep respect for Di Yi, no one took a step forward!

Yan Qingwen once again retrieved that ballpoint pen from her pocket, but she didn't click it.

She stared intently at the figure on the rooftop, her mind in turmoil!

That piano was definitely from her home!

That silhouette was undeniably Di Yi!

And that figure indeed bore a striking resemblance to Liu Di!

Could Liu Di really be Di Yi?

He hadn't shown up until now!

This song, filled with so many stories, how could it be something Liu Di could sing?

If it were really Liu Di...

Yan Qingwen gently bit her lip.

For a moment, she felt utterly unworthy.

Could the man up there, whom everyone looked up to, really be the same man who saved her three years ago?

Could he be the same man who had been living in her basement, treated coldly as a mere driver?

If it truly were him, she wouldn't know how to face him!

Under the quiet night sky, everyone had different thoughts.

Finally, a deep, magnetic voice echoed from the rooftop.

"This is a free hospital, dedicated to treating patients who can't afford medical care."

"This is also a place where a group of children live, who, after suffering persecution, have nowhere else to go."

"This place is both watched over by many and ignored by others."

"It is ignored due to the coldness of the human heart."

"But it is also watched over because some kind-hearted people extend a hand, bringing warmth."

"Today, I am here to thank those who carry goodwill in their hearts."

"And I also want to call on everyone to start from their hearts and live with kindness!"

The silhouette on the rooftop spoke slowly, with a calm tone, yet somehow, his words struck a chord in everyone's hearts!

The audience finally shifted their focus, truly seeing the dilapidated three-story building before them.

There was no signboard, but through the windows, they could vaguely see rows of hospital beds inside.

Outside, seven or eight children with big, bright eyes stood on a shabby stage.

Some had lost an arm, some had fingers twisted into unnatural shapes, and some had lost their legs, now confined to wheelchairs.

These were the same children who had just sung a soul-stirring song alongside Di Yi!

The audience could imagine that these children were probably abducted from the mountains by criminal gangs, violently disabled, and then pushed onto the streets to beg for money—mere sacrificial pawns in the pursuit of profit!

Seeing the innocent faces of the children, the audience felt a sharp pang in their hearts.

The children were so pitiful.

This hospital was so full of love!

Everyone's attention was drawn to a few childishly scrawled words on the background wall, written in chalk: "Thank you, Sister Yan from Yingzhi Company, for the gifts you gave us..."

For a moment, many were moved.

Yingzhi Company probably referred to Yingzhi Group.

Sister Yan must be one of the daughters of the Yan family!

It seemed she had helped this hospital!

Those who had lost faith in Yingzhi Group after the fiasco at the Huaitian Square concert suddenly felt a sense of relief.

In a large corporation, or in a big family, it's only natural to find all kinds of people—some with ill intentions, looking to deceive, and others with pure hearts, quietly doing good deeds.

The rich are just people too.

Among them are both bad and good people!

"Music god Di Yi also has a heart full of love. He isn't moved by money, but he came here because of charity!"

"You brought us here today, and we won't stand by idly!"

"We will donate to support the hospital, and we will also support that Sister Yan from Yingzhi Group!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.

These words instantly resonated with everyone!

Human nature is inherently good!

The crowd responded enthusiastically!

Some offered to donate, some wanted to adopt the children!

Some offered to volunteer their services!

And some business owners wanted to place orders with that Sister Yan!

In no time, everyone was mobilized.

When many people come together, the situation is bound to change!

The white-clad figure in the corner of the rooftop tilted his head back and smiled.

He said softly, "I believe in the goodness of the human heart!"

"And I also believe that the human heart is innately strong!"

"Di Yi asks everyone here to stay true to your hearts. Every person harbors an incredibly powerful force within. When you act, do so with all your might, and have no regrets!"

Then, the figure on the rooftop slowly stood up.

He didn't turn around but gently waved his hand.

A faintly glowing object soared across the stage, towards a figure standing silently in the crowd.

Yan Qingwen was momentarily stunned and instinctively caught the flying object.

The voice from above rang out once more, "To this Sister Yan, Di Yi offers you a word: Do good deeds, and don't ask about the future!"

With that, the figure on the rooftop slowly stepped out of the light and disappeared!

Everyone's gaze immediately shifted to the stunned woman.

"Is she the Sister Yan?"

"She seems to be the third daughter of the Yan family!"

"Is she really so kind-hearted, donating to help children?"

"A rare and outstanding heir to the Yingzhi Group!"

"I'm willing to support her!"

Yan Kaikai and Yan Xinxin, standing beside her, were instantly filled with excitement!

"Third Sister, you know Di Yi? Di Yi gave you something! Quickly, see what it is!"

The bewildered Yan Qingwen finally snapped back to reality.

She opened her palm with a dazed expression.

In her palm was a bead threaded on a black string.

In the dark of night, the bead shone like a lone star, emitting a faint light.

"Wow, Third Sister, I'm so envious of you! Di Yi gave you a gift, a pearl!"

Yan Qingwen's heart was filled with shock!

Her eyes widened, the reflection of the bead vividly clear in her pupils!

She murmured, "This... This isn't called a pearl. This is called... 'The Eye of Eternity'!"
