Lin Qinghuan stood by the window, watching Wei Xiao intently until he left, then reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

Their separation is only temporary; the future is long, and they will have plenty of time together.

Baiyun Village, Lin Family

Lin Qing and Lin Feng walked into the courtyard and saw their parents and Lin Piaoxue sitting there. Their parents were pleasantly surprised to see them return.

"Eldest brother, second brother, why are you back?" Lin's father asked with delight.

"Something happened to Piaoxue, so my second brother and I came back to check on her," Lin Qing said.

Lin's father and mother looked behind Lin Qing and Feng, but did not see Lin Qinghuan, and their faces darkened.

Lin Qing and Lin Feng knew what their parents were expecting, but they were destined to be disappointed.

Lin Qing and Lin Feng looked at Lin Piaoxue sitting blankly on the stool at the same time. She was thin, pale, with dull eyes and a listless spirit, like a flower that had withered from dehydration.

Lin Piaoxue was, after all, their own sister. Even though they had many faults with her in the past and were very dissatisfied with her, seeing Lin Piaoxue's pitiful and miserable appearance now made their hearts ache.

Lin Qing walked up to Lin Piaoxue, squatted down, and looked at her.

Lin Piaoxue instinctively rejected Lin Qing's approach, leaning back and falling flat on her face.

"Snowflakes!" Lin Qing exclaimed, reaching out to help Lin Piaoxue up.

Lin Piaoxue slapped Lin Qing's hand, shouting nervously, irritably, and fearfully, "Get away! Don't touch me! Get away..."

Lin Qing was stunned. He had only seen Lin Piaoxue fall down and wanted to help her up, but he did not expect her to react so strongly.

Lin's mother held Lin Piaoxue in her arms and gently comforted her, "Piaoxue, don't be afraid, Mom is here. Mom will never let anyone hurt you. Don't be afraid, Mom will chase the bad guys away for you."

Lin Piaoxue curled up into a ball, her eyes filled with fear, her hands flailing wildly at the air, yelling, "Don't come any closer, you beast, you're not allowed to come any closer!"

"Don't be afraid, Piaoxue. Li Jian is still in the hospital. He can't hurt you," Lin's father reassured him.

"Li Jian bullied me, Lin Yu bullied me, I'm going to kill them, I'm going to kill them!" Lin Piaoxue said, breaking free from her mother and running outside.

"Second brother, stop Piaoxue, don't let her run out," Lin's father shouted to Lin Feng.

When Lin Feng heard Lin Piaoxue say that Lin Yu had bullied her, he was completely stunned. He only came to his senses after hearing his father's words. He dropped the bag in his hand, grabbed Lin Piaoxue, and hugged her tightly to prevent her from running away.

"Let me go! I'm going to kill Li Jian, kill Lin Yu, I'm going to kill them all, I'm going to kill them all, kill them all, kill them all..."

Lin Piaoxue screamed frantically, trying desperately to break free from Lin Feng's hold.

Lin's father and mother hurriedly went to her, reached out and took her hand, and gently comforted her, "Piaoxue, your father and mother will definitely make those who bullied you pay for it, and we will never let them get away with it."

"Be good, quiet down and listen to me..."

Lin Piaoxue gradually quieted down after hearing what her father and mother said.

Tears streamed down her face as she frantically grabbed the hands of Lin's parents. "Dad, Mom, Lin Yu and Li Jian kidnapped me, they bullied me! They bullied me, I fought back, and they hit me! They hit me! It hurts so much, it hurts so much! Why didn't you come to save me? Why didn't you come to save me..."

Lin Piaoxue sat weakly on the ground, clutching her head and hair, muttering to herself, "No one saved me, no one saved me..."

"You all abandoned me, none of you love me!" Lin Piaoxue cried out, then suddenly grabbed her father and mother's trouser legs. "Why, why don't you love me? Why don't you love me? Why do you let people bully me? Why! Ahhh..."

Lin's father and mother were moved to tears as they listened to Lin Piaoxue's helpless and desperate words.

Lin Qing and Lin Feng were also heartbroken. Seeing Lin Piaoxue's madness, they couldn't bear to look away.
