100 Days of Rebirth: The Loyal Dog of the Cold and Aloof Actress

The group ate lunch at the welfare home.

After finishing their meal, Meng Tingwan and the others distributed the supplies to the children.

Seeing the children's innocent and carefree smiles, Dean Zhou's eyes welled up with tears.

Every time Meng Tingwan saw them, she would think of her younger sister.

When she was little, she would run to her younger sister's room every day after school to talk to her and teach her things.

Even though her younger sister can't respond because of her autism, she still feels very happy.

Just then, a little boy ran up, grabbed Meng Tingwan's hand, and said, "Sister Meng, can you still play the piano for us?"

"Okay, let's go to the music room then."

Meng Tingwan readily agreed.

So, a large group of people arrived at the music room.

There are all sorts of musical instruments here, all sponsored by Meng Tingwan, who also hired music teachers to teach them.

The children sat cross-legged on the ground, resting their faces on their hands and waiting quietly.

Meng Tingwan hadn't played for a long time either. She walked to the stool, sat down, took a deep breath, and looked at Cheng Yu, who was standing not far away.

Cheng Yu nodded to her, opened his mouth, and mouthed, "Good luck."

Meng Tingwan smiled gently, calmed herself down, and placed her hand on the piano keys.

The next second, beautiful piano music came from the keys.

It was the first time the children had heard this piece of music, and they listened intently with their ears perked up.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and only the melody of the music remained in the practice room.

Meng Tingwan's fingers moved nimbly as she played the piano, unaware that Cheng Yu was no longer in the room.

Just then, the sound of a violin suddenly joined in, perfectly timed.

Meng Tingwan didn't stop what she was doing. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Cheng Yu slowly walking towards her, playing the violin.

The man had taken off his coat at some point, leaving him only in his white shirt, with the violin resting on his neck, and walked towards her step by step.

Meng Tingwan was momentarily stunned; she thought she saw someone who looked very much like Cheng Yu.

That person also played the violin, and was also wearing white clothes. He played this piece for her.

The same melody, only today, with the addition of the piano.

Cheng Yu walked to the opposite side of her and stopped, staring into her eyes while continuing to work with his hands.

Meng Tingwan had never played a duet with anyone, but she felt that the duet of piano and violin was indeed one of the most perfect matches in the world.

As soon as the last note of the piece was played, applause erupted from the audience.

An'an and Dean Zhou stood at the very back, drumming the loudest.

The children were overjoyed, and every little face was beaming with happiness.

Meng Tingwan was surprised that she and Cheng Yu could play together so well. When she looked at the man, there was a hint of tears in her eyes.

Cheng Yu put down his violin, then walked over to her, bent down, and whispered in her ear, "Teacher Meng played so well."

Meng Tingwan turned to look at him, "President Cheng did a good job too."

Cheng Yu lowered his head and chuckled softly, when he suddenly felt a warmth on his lips.

He looked up, somewhat stunned, and saw the girl smiling at him. "This is a reward for you."

Because the grand piano partially obscured their movements, the people below did not see clearly what they were doing.

Dean Zhou and An'an exchanged a knowing smile.

After having dinner at the welfare home, the group returned to their hotel to rest.

After taking a shower, Meng Tingwan sat on the bed and began applying body lotion.

The weather is dry in autumn and winter, so she always has to apply a thick layer of this stuff.

It smells like gardenia, and it's quite pleasant.

When Cheng Yu came out wearing a bathrobe, he saw her sitting on the bed with her legs casually placed, so that from his angle, he could see everything.

He looked away, steadied himself for a moment, and then walked over.

"I'll help you?"

Upon hearing the voice, Meng Tingwan looked up and handed over the body lotion in her hand without any hesitation, saying, "Okay."

Cheng Yu took it and sat down next to her.

She had already applied most of the lotion to her legs, so Meng Tingwan turned around with her back to him, untied the belt, pulled down her bathrobe, and exposed her smooth back to Cheng Yu.

"I can't reach it if you carry me on your back, can you help me?"

Cheng Yu was very close to her, and the fragrance emanating from her hair filled his nostrils. In this setting, it truly felt like a soft, fragrant beauty was right in front of him.

He resisted the urge to hug her and squeezed some body lotion onto his palm.

After rubbing his hands together, he slowly placed them on her smooth skin.

Meng Tingwan thought it would be a simple application, but when the man's warm palm touched her, she subconsciously gripped the bed sheet tightly.

Cheng Yu could feel her back tense, so he made his movements even gentler. "Listen, are you nervous?"

"No."

"Then don't be so tense, relax a bit."

Meng Tingwan was unwilling to reveal her emotions, and stubbornly said, "It's because you rubbed it that it's so itchy."

"It itches?" Cheng Yu's hand happened to reach her lower back. "Here?"

He mischievously pinched the soft flesh around the girl's waist.

Meng Tingwan couldn't bear it and tried to dodge forward, but the man pulled her back and held her in his arms.

Cheng Yu's bathrobe was already loose, so Meng Tingwan's back was pressed completely against the man's chest.

Both of them paused for a moment, then looked at each other.

Meng Tingwan leaned softly against his chest, her clear black and white eyes fixed only on Cheng Yu. She pursed her lips, feeling a little thirsty. "Are you doing this on purpose?"

Cheng Yu looked into her eyes with a smile, "Baby, you asked me to help you, how did it become that I did it on purpose?"

"I don't care, you did it on purpose." Meng Tingwan threw a tantrum.

He had an expression that said, "What I say goes."

Cheng Yu chuckled helplessly, quite pleased with her demeanor in front of him. "Fine, I did it on purpose, because I wanted to apply it too."

"Then apply it, there's still a lot left."

As Meng Tingwan spoke, she reached for the bottle of body lotion.

Cheng Yu grabbed her hand and hugged her even tighter. "Just apply it like this."

Meng Tingwan couldn't break free, and she was also restricted from turning her head. "Cheng Yu, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"You even rub my lip mask on yourself, and you even rub my body lotion on yourself," Meng Tingwan complained softly.

The man, however, was unimpressed and readily accepted her accusation, saying, "Yeah, I just want to get close to you, so I can feel that you're by my side."

Meng Tingwan struggled for a few moments before giving in completely.

"Cheng Yu, thank you for today."

The sudden change of topic caught Cheng Yu off guard.

“Listen, no need to say thank you. I’m happy to do all this for you, and I’m glad you let me be a part of everything you do.”

He longed to be a part of her world, and today was a good start.

"But did you start learning the violin in elementary school?"

"I guess so. My mom likes it. She often plays the violin for my dad and me. I guess I was influenced by her." Cheng Yu was quite calm when he talked about these things now.

Meng Tingwan felt even more sorry for him.

"Besides this one, do you have any other pieces you can play together?"

"I can do whatever you want."

After hearing this, Meng Tingwan lowered her head and kissed the back of his hand. "President Cheng is so kind, what would you like me to reward you with?"

"Anything is fine, I'm not picky," Cheng Yu said, and then let go of her.

The next second, Meng Tingwan suddenly turned around and pinned him to the bed, her hair falling on the man's collarbone, tickling him.

"Then as a reward, you can continue to rub yourself against my body lotion, okay?"

The girl's lips curled into an ambiguous smile, and her next action left Cheng Yu dumbfounded, his blood surging, and him restless with excitement.

Meng Tingwan took the bottle of body lotion, squeezed some onto her body, then lay down close to him, breathing softly into Cheng Yu's ear, "Is rubbing against him like this a reward?"

Cheng Yu's mind went blank for several seconds, completely bewildered as to why Meng Tingwan would make such a move.

After a while, he answered in a hoarse voice, "Yes, and I really like this reward."

Meng Tingwan had just lifted her head from his neck when the man kissed her lips.

Soon, Cheng Yu took the initiative, cradling the girl's head in his hands and sitting her on the bed.

After applying the body lotion, only one-third of it remained.

The rest are all on the two of them.

The air around us was filled with the scent of gardenias, mixed with other aromas.

Every now and then, the girl's soft sobs could be heard from inside the room, "Cheng Yu, you owe me body lotion."

"Okay, I'll compensate you."

"You are just trying to fool me!"

"No way, I'm serious. I'll make it up to you tomorrow, okay?"

"That's pretty much it..."
