"The last time when we came to the temple, I had noticed this area. After searching about this slum locality on my phone, I got to know how underdeveloped this place is. Further research concluded that nearly one hundred and thirty women have died in the past few years because of health issues and hygiene-related problems. I could not do anything for them right now so I distributed all the sanitary napkins amongst them."

She did not expect the population here to be so high that all those packs fell short. She later used Shi Luo's gold card to buy more packs and distribute amongst all those women and girls who never knew that such things even existed.

As she stepped on the accelerator, she thought back to the expressions of worship that they had in their eyes for such a small thing she did for them.

''I never expected you to do something like this," He glanced at her side profile with a complicated light in his eyes, ''You have always been disgusted with the servants."

She glanced at his face from the corner of her eyes, his expressions were unreadable.

An old memory played itself in her mind.

When he came back to Ren Mansion for the second time after their marriage, he encountered her harassing an old servant working in the mansion. The previous owner's extreme disgust towards that old lady was genuine at that time.

"Maybe a near-death experience changed my views. I find myself looking at things more clearly," She paused for a moment to observe him but he remained expressionless as ever.

"I did not know how to cherish the things and people I had so I lost them," If she stayed under the protective shield that her brother made for her, or if she had taken some protective measures while going out that day then maybe she would not have died.

Whatever happens, it happens for a reason so she did not regret anything. She just regretted not cherishing the things she had.

Jun Zixuan slightly narrowed his eyes. He could see that sad look on her face again and it somehow made him uncomfortable.

Yu Mei sighed, "But when I saw those kids struggling for a loaf of bread, I realized life is not that unfair to me after all. The women were using old clothes during their period. They don't have medicines, no comfort of brown sugar, they have to go through all that raw pain. Those men were doing odd works to feed their family… I… might not be able to do anything for them right now, but one day, I will change their fates."

She kept her gaze on the road, not knowing how his heart skipped a beat because of the determined stubborn intent in her dark eyes.

Suddenly, he found himself looking at a completely different side of her.

….

After going back to the resort, Yu Mei took a shower first and changed into a comfortable loose-fitted dress.

When Jun Zixuan was taking a shower, she left a note for him in the suite before going for a walk on the beach.

Since it was evening time, the tourists were busy with the activities arranged inside the grand resort. There were a few people on the beach. Looking at the gradually darkening sky, she walked away from the crowd.

Finally finding a peaceful spot, she removed her shoes and sat there.

After contemplating for a bit, she took out her phone to call Shi Luo.

She had called her in the morning but she had not answered it.

Right now, she hoped that the woman would answer her call. She sighed in relief as the call got connected on the last ring, "Luoluo, how is aunty?"

"Mom is fine. There was a network issue in our locality yesterday because of which the call got disconnected. I thought Mom was not fine," The woman replied from the other side.

Yu Mei chuckled, "You should just stop acting like a mother hen all the time and everything will be fine."

"Aye~ Enough of teasing me. I was busy with some work in the morning so I didn't see your call. I was just about to call you now but you called me."

Yu Mei could hear the sound of shuffling of papers in the background, "Are you working?"

"It's almost done. By the way…Mei, are you still angry that I lied to Jun Zixuan about you?" Shi Luo asked.

"I was never angry. I just don't want him to drown himself in self-blame as my friend," She sighed before tucking her hair behind her ear. She looked around to see if anyone was there before continuing, "Regarding my situation, I don't want to tell him. He is not the type of man who will trust all these bizarre things. We are friends right now but I don't how will it turn out to be if I blurted such unbelievable things like transmigration in front of me.''

"That's true. I've grown up with you but I still did not believe it when you told me. Jun Zixuan knew you for a few months, who can guarantee he will believe that?" Shi Luo spoke up, "Except for his name and status, we don't know anything about him. I could have told him you are dead but that too would be risky. Like this, he will avoid investigating you if he has a conscience. Mei…I'll call you later. Someone is looking for me."

As Shi Luo hung up the call, Yu Mei found herself staring into the distant skies.

''You humans are too complicated. You trust him but you can't tell him," The little fox, Mia, appeared on her lap before sitting elegantly.

Yu Mei glanced at it. This fox still had more than 12 hours left to read her mind. Troublesome!

"I am not troublesome. You humans are. Why don't you go tell him about your identity?"

A fox is calling a human troublesome. How ironic!
