The host was stunned. "This... this is the largest donation we've ever received from a university scholar since the

establishment of our charity foundation. Mr. White, on behalf of the impoverished students, | want to thank you!"

He grabbed my hand and shook it so vigorously that anyone could see the excitement he felt.

| smiled. "I donated this money to make a point to Ryan and everyone here. Donations can be big or small. After

all, it's the intention that matters. Rewarding larger donations is just to encourage participation, not to start a

competition."

| continued, "This donation is made on behalf of everyone here, not just me."

Hearing this, the people below, especially those who had mockedearlier, immediately becembarrassed.

Others began applauding.

Suddenly, a water bottle was thrown at Ryan, hitting him square in the chest. The crowd erupted in angry shouts.

"Get off the stage, trash! You didn't donate anything, so why are you up here causing trouble?"

"Who cares if you're a trust fund kid? If you are, why don't you donate something? You're acting like a big shot,

but didn't even give a dime!"

"Get off the stage! You're not worthy to stand next to Mr. White!"

Soon, more things were thrown at Ryan. His face turned bright red with

embarrassment as he covered his head and hurried off the stage. Lina shotan irritated look before quickly

following him.

I shook my head, feeling a little helpless. They brought this on themselves.

On the way back, Felicia remained silent.

| asked with concern, "What's wrong, Felicia? Did I scare you by pulling you up on stage so suddenly?"

"No, no," she replied quickly. "Being brought on stage for such a meaningful event was an honor. Why would | be

scared? | just didn't expect you to actually be wealthy."

"AR

So that was her concern.

| smiled casually. "Felicia, do you know why | hide my identity?"

Felicia shook her head gently.

"It's because | really hate being labeled as a 'trust fund kid". | know many of the comforts in my life are thanks to

my father. I've benefited greatly from his care and support. | am a trust fund kid—there's no escaping that."

I led her to sit under a willow tree by the lake. For the first time, | felt like opening up about my feelings.

| continued, "I want my friends to likefor who | am-for being William. I want my girlfriend to want to marry

Felicia nodded earnestly. "I understand, William. | like you because you're you. I liked you even before | knew you

were a trust fund kid. So don't worry. Even if you weren't, my feelings wouldn't change."

This turned into a confession.

| blushed, staring at the lake in silence.

Then, out of nowhere, Felicia leaned in and gently kissed my cheek.

I froze, then turned to look at her.

Under the moonlight, her expression was soft and enchanting. Her dark eyes glowed with affection as she gazed

at me, full of emotion. I couldn't resist— without thinking, | leaned in closer to her.
