Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

Lin Qingxue froze, stiffly raising her eyes slowly.

Only then did she see the person standing at the village entrance.

The other person was wearing casual clothes, which were stained with some mud and dust.

Her once fair face and arms have become much darker.

In addition, his face was dark and he looked extremely resentful.

Lin Qingxue regained her composure in an instant.

She put down the bag in her arms, picked it up with her hand, looked at the person in front of her, and called out softly.

I heard her voice.

Li Wenyan could barely control himself; he raised his hands.

My hands were covered with crisscrossing scratches and calluses that were turning red.

"I really didn't expect that I would be living on the construction site during this period of time."

"What were you doing all day while you were being bossed around and doing all the moving?"

"Are you... having a romantic relationship with him?"

His face was full of anger and resentment, and he almost spoke through gritted teeth.

"Lin Qingxue, how did you become so selfish?"

Lin Qingxue's palms clenched slightly, but she still spoke calmly.

"Uncle Li stopped driving a motorcycle taxi after you transferred to this school and went to work on the construction site to earn your tuition fees."

"He's been living like this all year; what you've only briefly experienced is his daily routine."

"Our status as students has ended. You are the only person in your family and should have a sense of family responsibility, instead of doing whatever you want."

...

Lin Qingxue said a lot.

She had never said such a long, lecturing thing to Ayan before.

After all, when facing him, I was more inclined to avoid him and not want to face him.

This time, however, the dream taught her a bloody lesson.

Lin Qingxue only wanted him to be more considerate of his parents and not to do anything as foolish as simply disappearing.

He's an adult now; he shouldn't act impulsively.

But Lin Qingxue also knew.

Ultimately, it's because I've always protected him too well.

Now... it's time for him to take on the responsibilities he should bear on his own.

Even if the accusations of "betrayal" made by Ayan were confirmed, Lin Qingxue accepted them.

At least the overwhelming guilt she felt towards Uncle Li and the others wouldn't overwhelm her again.

But Li Wenyan seemed not to have listened at all.

Her eyes were still fixed on him, and her body was trembling with anger.

Lin Qingxue stopped speaking and then calmly said something.

"I'll have a proper talk with you once you've calmed down."

She stepped forward, just as she was about to brush past him.

Li Wenyan suddenly spoke up.

"He beat me up at the driving school last time, so let me go."

"You should know how wronged I was when I was beaten."

Lin Qingxue stopped in her tracks.

After a long while, he nodded in response.

"Yes, it's wrong of him to hit someone."

These words were spoken.

Li Wenyan suddenly turned around, his scarlet eyes fixed on Lin Qingxue's face.

"so what?"

"I just want you to tell him to apologize to me, and that'll be the end of it. I've already come to this extent, and you still won't even do that?"

Lin Qingxue also looked up at him, her voice calm as if she were stating something.

"Then you should know that he won't listen to me at all now."

"You're telling me to go and talk to him like this just to keep torturing me, aren't you?"

Li Wenyan was about to speak.

Lin Qingxue raised her hand to stop her.

"If you really want him to apologize to you, you can go find him yourself."

Upon hearing this...

Li Wenyan froze, his face immediately showing astonishment.

"Didn't you always tell me not to go see him?"

Lin Qingxue's eyes remained calm.

"I won't stop you now."

"But I still want to remind you of something."

She paused for a moment, then continued speaking in an inexplicable tone.

"He's just a scoundrel, an ignorant and incompetent bastard."

"He was flamboyant and loved to cause trouble; all he did was fight and brawl all day long."

"If you're not afraid, you can try it yourself."

Li Wenyan's expression grew increasingly grim, and it took him a long time to finally ask a question.

"So even so, you still fell for him?"

Lin Qingxue didn't reply and changed the subject.

"You came back today, you must have received a notification from the teacher, right?"

Li Wenyan paused slightly, but still nodded.

"right."

Lin Qingxue then continued speaking.

"After you go to school tomorrow and check your grades, I'll help you plan and fill out your college application using the computers in the computer lab."

"This is something Uncle Li and the others asked me to do."

As she carried the bag and started walking forward, she added a sentence.

"If you still need it."

After saying that, Lin Qingxue stopped and walked further and further away.

Li Wenyan stood there, staring at her back.

She changed into an outfit she had never seen before.

When we first met, she had a smile on her face that I had never seen before.

Li Wenyan's eyes were deep, and his hands clenched tighter, as if he was thinking about something.

......

late at night.

Lin Qingxue sat at her desk with a nightlight on.

There was also a diary on the table.

She picked up the pen, but didn't write anything.

I looked up at the room across the street, which was separated by only one wall.

That was Li Wenyan's room, and the lights were still on.

Tonight, it seems most high school students won't be able to sleep.

After all, the results will be released tomorrow.

Lin Qingxue thought for a moment, put down her pen, and turned off the night light.

Things have already come to this point.

She didn't want to think about Ayan's matter; the more she thought about it, the more she would get caught up in internal conflict.

The more internal conflict there is, the more one will think about it.

This creates an unsolvable loop that can only be resolved by time.

Lin Qingxue closed her diary.

Sleeping makes me feel more at ease.
