After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 42: Bumping Into a Little Cutie

More and more people are joining the little fan club.

This era’s celebrity, Xia Youqing, no matter what her temper is like in private, once she’s in front of the public, her professionalism is impeccable. After being recognized, she simply made a gracious appearance, beaming and fulfilling the fans’ requests.

If they wanted an autograph, she’d give it; if they wanted a photo, she’d pose for one.

After all, she put on makeup today, so she’d look beautiful no matter how the photos turned out.

Someone, noticing that the big star was nothing like her aloof on-screen persona and seemed quite approachable, daringly asked:

"Miss Xia, did the company arrange for you to be here for an event today?"

"Company?" Xia Youqing quickly responded with a question, "What kind of event could there possibly be at an orphanage?"

"Qingqing, did you come here with your family to do charity work?"

"Yes, I came with my family yesterday and saw that the children at the orphanage were lacking winter supplies, so we brought them today. They’re really pitiful."

As she said this, Xia Youqing’s face showed just the right amount of empathy, and her snow-white complexion instantly made her appear even more lovely.

"Qingqing, don’t be sad, you’ve already done so much." The fans chimed in to comfort her.

Once Xia Youqing smiled again, someone else asked:

"Miss Xia, the person who was in the car with you earlier, is she your sister or niece? She looks just like you, and she’s so cute."

"Oh, she’s family." Xia Youqing adeptly handled the question.

Upon seeing her artist being recognized, Xiao Zhu immediately put down her work and came over to maintain order beside Xia Youqing.

While maintaining order to ensure Xia Youqing wasn’t accidentally bumped or knocked into, she also carefully guided photographers to avoid capturing the Xia family members in their shots.

Nowadays, most celebrities value their family’s privacy highly—it’s not like the era where reality TV dominated, with celebrities bringing their entire families on TV for attention and money.

The photographers, being more socially conscious, naturally agreed to Xiao Zhu’s reasonable request.

What they didn’t know was that when Xiao Zhu made this request, she was thinking, "Thankfully, the other Xia family members came today; otherwise, if it were just Miss Xia and her daughter and their photos got out, who knows how much trouble it could bring."

You Guang had already slipped to the outskirts of the crowd when Xia Youqing was recognized, standing with her aunt and cousins.

The warm post-snow sun hung high, illuminating everything around clearly.

Knowing in advance about the supply delivery today, the orphanage’s entrance had been cleaned early by the volunteers and older children under the director’s instruction.

You Guang noticed that the children in the orphanage looked much cleaner today than they did last night.

Most of them had changed clothes, though worn, but clean.

Zhuang Xiaoxiao also changed into clean clothes—a blue cotton jacket and black floral pants. Her shoes were the same as yesterday’s, but they’d been scrubbed clean of mud.

Her little face was washed clean, her hair was still uneven but much smoother, revealing a clean forehead and distinct facial features.

Indeed, she was a little replica of Zhuang Yijing.

Zhuang Xiaoxiao had been eagerly anticipating seeing the kind little sister again as she slept last night.

So, when she saw You Guang get out of the car, she excitedly ran over, chattering away with her.

You Guang listened patiently, responding here and there.

The orphanage director, upon hearing the commotion, was dumbfounded by the lively scene.

She completely hadn’t expected the kind person brought yesterday by Xiaoxiao was a super-rich big star, Xia Youqing.

If she’d known earlier, she would have called in more media to cover the event, getting the star to talk about the orphanage’s plight in front of the cameras, hoping for more donations.

Instead, now, she was stuck with just the donations from the star’s several truckloads of supplies.

The director regretted it deeply.

Once the supplies were distributed to the children, the Xia family headed over to the Chicken Nest Mountain Animal Shelter.

Yang Hui and Liu Kun had been waiting there for a while.

When the Xia family arrived, plumbers were digging trenches and laying new pipes, while other masons worked on renovating the shelter.

Xiao Zhu was generous with the payments, so the workers were efficient and quick.

The animal shelter, being remote, didn’t see many visitors.

Yang Hui and Liu Kun warmly and gratefully hosted everyone.

Oh, and there were many free-roaming cats, some timidly ran off, while others boldly came out to greet people.

You Guang had barely stood by the shelter’s entrance before a palm-sized white kitten laid itself on her shoe.

The tiny kitten, snow-white, looked up at You Guang with a little pink nose and mouth.

It couldn’t have been cuter.

Looking down at the soft, adorable little creature on her shoe, You Guang couldn’t stop smiling.

This scene instantly softened the hearts of the Xia family, including Yang Hui and Liu Kun.

Quietly watching, You Guang slowly squatted down and gently attempted to pet the kitten’s back with her small hand.

She was initially worried it might get scared and run away.

But the kitten was braver than she thought, laying flat under her gentle touch.

The other Xia children were very envious of their little sister having such an adorable kitten to play with.

Xia Chen, being older, restrained his desire to pet the cat.

But Xia Fei and Xia Dai weren’t as polite, immediately wanting to play with the kitten beside their sister.

Unexpectedly, just as the two squatted down beside You Guang, the white kitten quickly dashed off, away from Youyou’s shoe.

Xia Fei and Xia Dai were disappointed and wanted to catch up with it to see if they could bring back the cute kitten. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

It was a scene that made the adults present laugh helplessly.

Yang Hui explained in time, "Jiaozi was born last month, almost two months old now, usually very shy and doesn’t like to see people. It’s rare to see her so bold today."

"Jiaozi is the name of that little kitten?" Xie Haitang asked.

"Yes, she was born right around the winter solstice, and she’s white, so Kun Kun and I named her Jiaozi."

You Guang ran over to her cousins who hadn’t caught Jiaozi and told them dejectedly, "There are over a hundred dogs and dozens of cats here, you guys can play with them later. The little white kitten is still young, don’t grab her, she’ll get scared."

"Yes, Jiaozi is very timid; don’t scare her." Xia Youqing also said.

"Jiaozi?" Xia Fei and Xia Dai.

"Jiaozi is the name of the little white kitten just now." Xia Chen.

"Haha, so cute. Why is she called Jiaozi? Is it because she’s so white?" Xia Dai.

"Not exactly, dumplings aren’t always white." Xia Fei frowned and pondered.

"Maybe it’s because she was born on the winter solstice." You Guang guessed.

"Ah, you figured that out?" Xia Chen was dumbfounded.

A handsome little face filled with the helplessness of being outsmarted by his younger sister yet again.

All the adults present broke into laughter. 1314
