Chapter 85: Feelings heat up quickly and you find the right person!

Lin Yan took great pains to hold Martha back. He explained the economic situation during disasters to her and analyzed the hotel owner's calculations. At least he managed to dispel Martha's impulsive idea.

"But, but, Yan, I still feel that I need to do something. Even if you don't donate the whole suitcase as I said before, at least donate half of it!"

Lin Yan vomited blood: Well, it was all in vain again.

Looking at the silly Martha, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel angry and laugh.

Needless to say, I'm angry. You want to donate a box of small yellow croakers for a disaster. Even the rich can't be so generous. This is a complete waste of money!

However, Martha's simple kindness did make Lin Yan feel a warm current in his heart.

"You've been a great help."

Lin Yan said to her: "Buses, stadiums, dams, no matter where you are, you have been using your efforts to help this city, haven't you?"

"Where is it?"

Martha pouted: "From the beginning to the end, you were the only one helping, and I was not even an assistant! It feels like... every one of you is so kind and great, it makes me, makes me feel guilty!"

This question again confused the live broadcast room, especially the audience of Allen Chiefs.

——No, Princess, you really think you are Chinese, don't you? Does this have anything to do with you? Why do you feel bad about it? You lay in the room until the water receded, that was reasonable, okay?

However, if you are not in this special atmosphere, it is difficult to have that mysterious sense of resonance.

Although Huaxia has bloodline inheritance, it has never been a civilization that only cares about bloodline. "If a barbarian enters Huaxia, he will become Chinese." Even if a foreigner has no bloodline, as long as he recognizes Chinese civilization from the bottom of his heart, he will be regarded as a fellow bloodline by the Chinese.

This is the powerful inclusiveness of the Chinese spirit.

Especially in Chang'an City, Martha experienced the flood disaster personally. She did not feel the terrible pressure brought by the flood disaster through a camera in the live broadcast room, but she truly felt it. This is something that the audience in the live broadcast room could never understand!

In the face of this torrential rain, no matter whether you are an ordinary civilian or a princess, you are equally powerless.

The heavy rain hit me, as if it could knock me down at any time. The flood was imminent, and I could die if I wasn't careful. Even in the seemingly safe gymnasium, the cries and sighs of the disaster victims were so touching!
In the face of this overwhelming natural disaster, and only in the face of this disaster, the identity of "princess" was eliminated as never before. The one who acted with her lover was no longer a princess with abundant financial resources, but an ordinary weak woman who could not carry anything on her shoulders or hands!

And this is the source of Martha's "sense of participation".

Being in the midst of this disaster, Martha witnessed with her own eyes the great spirit of the Chinese people to overcome nature, and the belief of people like Lin Yan in sacrificing their own lives and putting others before themselves. How could she not be infected by such heroic spirit?

Although she can't carry anything, she has money!
——I can’t help Yan, but can’t I donate money?

This mentality is so easy to understand. Lin Yan smiled and patted Martha on the head to help her relieve the depression in her heart.

"My little princess, why are you acting like a real princess, having princess syndrome everywhere?" Martha blushed and looked away with a guilty look, "How could I be like that?"

"You've been a lot of help."

Lin Yan touched Martha's head and said with a smile: "You feel that you didn't help at all, but in fact it's just your illusion. The help each of us contributed in this natural disaster was very small, even negligible."

Martha: “Huh?”

"Take me for example. You may think I am extremely brave and I am able to turn the tide. But in fact, without the help of other comrades, even if I were drowned in the Orange River, I would not be able to stop the flood at all. At most, I can only think that my military merit is 1 or 2 points higher than that of my comrades, but I never dare to think of myself as a hero who turned the tide."

"Think about it. There are at least three places where we were directly involved. In the entire Chang'an City, how many places are affected by the disaster and need help? One hundred? One thousand? Not to mention so many places, I can't even say that I played a decisive role in the three places I helped, let alone the others?"

"Looking at it this way, don't you think my contribution is not that great? The real saving of Chang'an City was done by thousands and thousands of people who made efforts. Each of them may not have made earth-shattering achievements, but when they were added together, they all contributed every bit of their efforts, and thus, the war was won."

Martha smiled bitterly: "Yan, are you trying to comfort me?"

Lin Yan answered seriously, "No, I am really just explaining the most basic common sense of China. The magic weapon for us Chinese to conquer nature has never been how powerful someone is, but that everyone can unite together to unleash a power far greater than that of a single individual. It is not enough for everyone to be powerful, we also need thoughtful counselors and brave and decisive leaders, each doing their part and making their own contribution. This is the meaning of unity."

"So, you have done your best today, so there is no need to worry about anything else. Think about it, if you were the old you, would you still help others even if you were exhausted like you are today?"

Martha was stunned for a moment.

Yeah... When did I become like this?

All of this should have nothing to do with me. The bottom line is, the only person I care about is Yan.

Unconsciously, have I become the kind of person I admire the most in my heart? Like Hua Xia, full of courage, full of strength, and more importantly, a pure heart willing to stand up to protect others.

When did I forget that I was the princess of the Arab Emirates? The dam? The stadium? The bus? The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor... It's so confusing, I don't know!
Martha was confused for a moment.

Looking at Martha's cute look as she tilted her head and thought hard, Lin Yan smiled and picked her up.

"Don't think too much. Once you get up from a good night's sleep, all your worries will be forgotten."

Even though the two of them didn't do anything ambiguous with each other, today's time together had dramatically heated up their feelings for each other.

Martha was deeply impressed by Lin Yan's courage, and Lin Yan was also moved by Martha's simplicity and kindness.

People's instincts when facing a crisis cannot be faked, and this is true for Lin Yan and Martha. When this weak girl faced the raging flood and shouted for Lin Yan without flinching, she was already the destined person in Lin Yan's heart.

——Chief Allen, after the trip to China with Martha is over, I’m afraid I really have to go meet my parents.
