The world of film and television begins with Zhou Bingkun in the human world.

It's been snowing these past two days, and the weather is especially cold. Zhou Bingkun is huddled in his blankets all by himself, trying to stay warm.

Although the weather was freezing cold, it was still quite warm to sit on the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed).

"Zhou Zhiqing, Zhou Zhiqing, someone is looking for you, Zhou Zhiqing—"

Zhou Bingkun, who was huddled on the kang (a heated brick bed), heard the village secretary calling him from outside.

After putting on his clothes and opening the door, Zhou Bingkun saw the village secretary standing at the door with someone. However, when Zhou Bingkun saw the person behind the village secretary, his heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.

"Cai Xiaoguang? What brings you here?" Zhou Bingkun frowned and asked, looking at the man standing behind the village secretary. The man was none other than Cai Xiaoguang, Zhou Rong's sycophant.

If Cai Xiaoguang came looking for me, it's highly likely that it's related to Zhou Rong.

Cai Xiaoguang's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look Zhou Bingkun in the eye. When Zhou Bingkun asked him, his gaze remained unfocused: "Um, Bingkun, I'm here to take you back to Jichun."

"Take me back to Jichun? Cai Xiaoguang, explain yourself clearly. What exactly is going on? I'm an educated youth sent to the countryside. The government assigned me here, and I can't go back without the government's permission." Zhou Bingkun stared sharply at Cai Xiaoguang.

At this moment, Zhou Bingkun had a very bad premonition.

Zhou Rong desperately wanted to go to the mountains of Guizhou to find Feng Huacheng, but she didn't have the ability on her own. Besides, Zhou Bingkun was already a sent-down youth, so Zhou Rong should have stayed in Jichun.

However, if Cai Xiaoguang intervenes, it doesn't seem to be too difficult for Zhou Rong to ignore the fact that she is the only child left in the Zhou family and ask Cai Xiaoguang to help with the procedures.

After all, Cai Xiaoguang's father was a high-ranking government official; at least for now, he was a prominent figure in Jichun's officialdom.

"Well, your sister has already gone to the countryside. In principle, you can go back. They might even arrange a job for you there..." Cai Xiaoguang's voice betrayed a hint of guilt.

"You said Zhou Rong went to the countryside? How did she go to the countryside? I've already gone to the countryside, and Zhou Bingyi should have gone to the army too. Only Zhou Rong is left at home. The neighborhood committee will definitely not arrange anything for her. How did she go to the countryside?" Zhou Bingkun stared directly at Cai Xiaoguang and questioned him sternly.

"I'm sorry, Bingkun, it was me, it was me who arranged it for your sister. Your sister came to me, insisting on going to the countryside, so I, I helped her out." Cai Xiaoguang lowered his head, his voice becoming weaker and less confident.

Seeing Cai Xiaoguang like this, Zhou Bingkun felt that something was wrong.

If it were just about arranging for Zhou Rong to go to the countryside, Cai Xiaoguang wouldn't be so guilty.

After all, under normal circumstances, if Cai Xiaoguang used his connections to arrange for Zhou Rong to be sent to the countryside as an educated youth, Zhou Bingkun could return to the city and get a job, which would be a good thing for him. Even if Cai Xiaoguang's arrangement was out of self-interest, it would still be considered helping Zhou Bingkun, and Cai Xiaoguang would never be so guilty.

"Cai Xiaoguang, is there something you haven't told me?" Zhou Bingkun looked at Cai Xiaoguang suspiciously.

"Bingkun, I'm sorry!" Cai Xiaoguang bowed deeply and apologized when questioned by Zhou Bingkun.

"So what did you do?" Zhou Bingkun stared intently at Cai Xiaoguang.

Cai Xiaoguang kept his head down, but he could almost feel the intense gaze Zhou Bingkun was giving him. Even though it was the dead of winter, sweat was already beading on his forehead.

"Bingkun, after your mother heard the news that your sister had run away to the mountains of Guizhou, she suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and then fell into a coma. The doctor said that your mother might not wake up."

Zhou Bingkun stared at Cai Xiaoguang in astonishment.

In the original novel "The World", Li Suhua did indeed suffer a sudden cerebral hemorrhage because of Zhou Rong, and then remained in a vegetative state for two years. If it weren't for Zheng Juan's wholehearted care for Li Suhua, Li Suhua might never have woken up again.

This time, Zhou Bingkun deliberately went to a remote village to become an educated youth early on. On the one hand, he didn't want to get involved in the melodramatic plot of the original work. On the other hand, he felt that he had changed the plot, so that Li Suhua would not suffer a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and become a vegetable like in the original work.

Unexpectedly, this time, Li Suhua became a vegetable several years ahead of schedule.

So what? Is Li Suhua destined to be a vegetable?

"Bingkun, I'm sorry. I didn't think things through. I didn't consider whether Auntie could accept it before blindly arranging Zhou Rong's trip to the countryside. As a result, Auntie became too emotional after hearing the news and eventually fainted. It's all my fault. If I hadn't arranged those things, Auntie wouldn't have had this happen." Cai Xiaoguang apologized sincerely and with regret.

Clearly, Cai Xiaoguang did not expect things to develop to this point.

"Hit me, scold me. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Auntie wouldn't be like this now." Cai Xiaoguang acted as if he could be hit and scolded at will.

Seeing Cai Xiaoguang like this, Zhou Bingkun was indeed quite angry, but his anger was not because of Li Suhua.

Ultimately, Zhou Bingkun didn't inherit the original owner's emotions, and he hadn't spent many days with Li Suhua. To him, Li Suhua was just a familiar stranger. When something happened to Li Suhua, he felt nothing but regret, without any anger or heartache.

Zhou Bingkun was angry, still angry that Zhou Rong had run away, but he still had to return to Jichun.

At this moment, Zhou Bingkun thought of the letter of complaint he had written earlier. Judging by the time, the letter should have been sent by now, and Feng Huacheng might have already been dealt with. Zhou Rong had traveled a long way to find that Feng Huacheng had been dealt with or might even be gone. He wondered what kind of expression she would have at that time.

Thinking about all this, Zhou Bingkun actually felt a little bit of pleasure.

"Bingkun—" Seeing that Zhou Bingkun didn't say anything, Cai Xiaoguang couldn't help but speak up.

"Cai Xiaoguang, I know that Zhou Rong's matter is not your fault. No, I should say that the main responsibility does not lie with you. Forget it, let's not have any contact or interaction in the future. From now on, we are strangers. You don't need to pay attention to me when you see me, and I won't pay attention to you either. We will never see each other again." Zhou Bingkun said calmly to Cai Xiaoguang.

In the end, Cai Xiaoguang was just Zhou Rong's sycophant, and he couldn't be bothered to have anything to do with Cai Xiaoguang anymore.

"Bingkun—" Cai Xiaoguang didn't expect Zhou Bingkun to say that, and for a moment he felt particularly choked up.

He even felt that it would be more comfortable for Zhou Bingkun to just beat him up.
