Lin Jianxue's gaze swept across Liu Liwen's harsh face lightly without stopping.

She turned her head and looked at Fu Qingqing behind her and asked in a gentle voice.

"Qingqing, did they hit you?"

Fu Qingqing's face was pale, her eyes were still red, and she shook her head hurriedly when she heard that.

Tears were still hanging on the long eyelashes, about to fall.

"No, Sister Xiaoxue, they...they just scolded me."

Lin Jianxue nodded, a hint of coldness flashing across her cold eyes.

"Well, I'm glad I didn't hit you."

She paused and spoke softly again.

"If you hit me, I'll help you fight back."

Fu Qingqing's heart trembled suddenly, a warm current surged up, and tears almost fell again.

She hurriedly grabbed Lin Jianxue's sleeve and spoke anxiously in a crying voice.

"Sister Xiaoxue, I still...I still want to go home and live."

"I, I can't cause you any more trouble."

She was afraid that because of herself, Lin Jianxue would be implicated even more.

Lin Jianxue patted the back of her hand gently and comforted her.

"Silly girl, you didn't cause me any trouble."

"Someone is causing trouble for us."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head again, and her clear yet cold eyes looked straight at Liu Liwen.

"Liu Liwen, what do you want?"

Liu Liwen had long noticed that Lin Jianxue was close to those "evil guys" in the Fu family.

She had no grudges against the Fu family, and they had hardly even spoken to each other before.

But she just couldn't bear to see Lin Jianxue doing well.

Why is it that Lin Jianxue is prettier than her, has better grades than her, and now lives in the countryside, and still looks so aloof and arrogant, as if no one is worthy of her!

How could she let go of this opportunity today?

Liu Liwen crossed her arms over her chest, raised her chin even higher, and looked like a winner.

"I'm not that good!"

Her voice was shrill.

"I just can't stand some people bringing unscrupulous people to our educated youth dormitory!"

"Or, tell her to get out of here immediately!"

"Or, you, Lin Jianxue, can get out with her too!"

"Our glorious educated youth dormitory is not a place where just anyone can live!"

"A child of the underworld dares to set foot in our place! This is simply outrageous!"

The noise here became louder and louder, and finally alarmed the people outside.

"What are you arguing about?"

A rough male voice came from the door, with a hint of impatience.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Who just said there was a thief in the educated youth dormitory?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a burly, dark-skinned middle-aged man walking in with a sullen face.

It was Liang Bin, the captain of the Shuguang Production Brigade.

When Liu Liwen saw Liang Bin coming, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had found her backbone.

She immediately put on an expression of grievance and anger, and rushed to complain.

"Captain! You're finally here!"

She pointed at Fu Qingqing who was protected by Lin Jianxue behind her, and her voice rose several degrees.

"Look at what Lin Jianxue has done!"

"She actually brought the children of black people to live in our educated youth dormitory!"

"If this gets out, where will our Shuguang Production Brigade put its reputation?"

Liang Bin's gaze followed Liu Liwen's finger.

When he saw the shivering little girl behind Lin Jianxue, who was as thin as a bean sprout, his thick dark brows couldn't help but frown.

He looked at Lin Jianxue again.

This Lin Zhiqing usually looks quiet and sensible, and rarely causes trouble.

What happened today?

Liang Bin had a stern face and walked in front of Lin Jianxue with a serious tone.

"Lin Zhiqing, I think you are a very sensible person."

"What's going on?"

"You have to explain it to me clearly!"

Fu Qingqing was even more frightened by the captain's gaze. Her little hands tightly grasped the corner of Lin Jianxue's clothes, and her body trembled even more violently.

Lin Jianxue patted her hands soothingly, then raised her head and calmly met Liang Bin's gaze.

There was no trace of panic in her clear eyes.

She thought for a moment, then spoke in a voice neither humble nor arrogant.

"Captain."

"I remember that according to regulations, educated youth sent to the countryside were not required to live in the educated youth dormitory, right?"

Liang Bin was stunned when he heard this, obviously not expecting her to ask this suddenly.

He nodded subconsciously: "Well, there is no such hard rule..."

Lin Jianxue continued.
