"Me." Dong Yue almost bit his tongue. It turned out that Zhou Qingqing had misunderstood his relationship with Lin Qingyan. "Comrade Zhou Qingqing, first of all, given our relationship, you're meddling a bit too much."
Secondly, Comrade Lin Qingyan is just an older sister to one of my new recruits. I admire her abilities and talents, but I have no improper thoughts about her.
I ask you to watch your words, and not to label people without understanding the situation, nor to make unfounded assumptions about their behavior.
"But you, you ignore me, a young woman of marriageable age. Not only do you ignore me, you are also cold and indifferent to other girls, but you can chat so happily with Battalion Commander Lu's wife. Isn't that what I think?"
"Just because I talk to someone a few times doesn't mean I'm interested in them. I don't want to talk to you because we don't have anything in common. Birds of a feather flock together. Our values and morals are different, and our attitudes towards things are different. That's why I don't want to be in a relationship with you. We're simply not the same kind of people, and we can't live together. Do you understand?"
Zhou Qingqing blushed instantly, as if she had been lectured by Dong Yue.
Dong Yue actually criticized her character.
Is Dong Yue really against her because of her character?
"Comrade Dong Yue, I just really want to be your girlfriend. It makes me very sad to see you chatting and laughing with other people but ignoring me."
I'm not the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong. Once you spend enough time with me, you'll know what kind of person I really am. You should give me a chance to get to know you.
"No need, I don't have time for the experiment. I'm sorry, I really have to go back to my dorm."
This time, Zhou Qingqing didn't stop him. Instead, she stood there watching his departing figure, carefully considering his words.
There really is nothing between him and Lin Qingyan; she's just misunderstanding.
And he doesn't date her because she has character flaws?
The next afternoon, after having lunch, Xu Xinning returned to the hospital. She stayed in her office for a while, but no female colleagues came for checkups or treatment. She spoke with the director, then went back to her office to get something before leaving to find Lin Sisi.
Lin Sisi was also waiting for her arrival at home.
After the two met, Lin Sisi brought a water bottle and a basket. "It's summer now, and there's plenty of rain. I heard from others that it's a good time to pick mushrooms. It rained the day before yesterday, so we should be able to pick some fresh mushrooms today. We might also pick some wild fruits. I'll take the basket with me and put whatever I find on the mountain in the basket."
If Xu Xinning goes with her, she'll definitely be able to help her in some way.
Xu Xinning didn't care about any of that. "Okay, let's go."
After about an hour, they reached the halfway point of the mountain. After finding a patch of mushrooms, Lin Sisi quickly went to pick them, and Xu Xinning went over to help her.
However, Xu Xinning's attention remained fixed on Lin Sisi's neck.
After picking the mushrooms, they went to other places.
Because it had rained the day before yesterday, the vegetation was lush, with towering trees everywhere, and many places were still wet and had not yet been dried by the sun.
As they were crossing a steep slope, Lin Sisi was about to cross it to pick mushrooms on the other side when Xu Xinning suddenly pointed to one side and said, "Sisi, I see some wild berries over there. Let's go pick some."
Before Lin Sisi could react, she grabbed Lin Sisi's hand and led her in the direction Lin Sisi had pointed.
She deliberately pulled Lin Sisi with force, and Lin Sisi was pulled along by her. She couldn't pay attention to her footing and stepped on the wet and slippery stone surface. Because her feet were covered in mud, she immediately slipped on the stone and was about to fall. Xu Xinning saw this and fell down with her.
Xu Xinning held her tightly, and they rolled around on the hillside a few times. Xu Xinning, holding Lin Sisi, aimed carefully and made Lin Sisi's head hit a rock. Lin Sisi immediately felt dizzy. As soon as they stopped rolling, Xu Xinning quickly took out a vial of sedative from her pocket and injected it into Lin Sisi's body.
Lin Sisi's head not only felt dizzy, but also rapidly became heavy, and within just a few seconds, she completely lost consciousness.
Seeing that her body went limp and her eyes closed, Xu Xinning first put away the syringe used to inject the sedative, and shook her with her hand: "Sisi, Sisi, what's wrong? Wake up."
Lin Sisi didn't react at all. To make sure that Lin Sisi was completely unconscious, she pinched Lin Sisi hard again. Xu Xinning still didn't react, so she felt relieved.
She can now implement her next step, which is also the most important step in her plan.
She pulled open Lin Sisi's collar and discovered the beautiful and elegant phoenix jade pendant. She took it off and put it in the pocket of her inner garment.
“Lin Sisi, even if you know whose it is, you can’t use it to impersonate the Dong family’s granddaughter. Lin Qingyan, without this token of kinship, the Dong family won’t know that you are Dong Lianxin’s daughter.”
After she finished, she lay down next to Lin Sisi and pretended to faint like Lin Sisi.
The dose of sedative she gave Lin Sisi was not large, and Lin Sisi vaguely woke up after about ten minutes.
At this point, due to the remaining medication and the impact between her head and the stone, she was not yet fully conscious.
She saw Xu Xinning lying beside her with her eyes closed, and she called out to Xu Xinning, "Xinning."
Xu Xinning pretended not to hear and continued to feign unconsciousness.
Lin Sisi pushed her a few more times, "Xinning, Xinning, wake up."
She shook Xu Xinning several times before Xu Xinning finally "slowly woke up".
Xu Xinning raised her hand and touched her head. "Just now, I think I hit my head on a rock. Sisi, how long was I dizzy?"
"Xinning, I also hit a rock and passed out. I just woke up and I don't even know how long I was unconscious."
"Oh." Xu Xinning looked at the sun in the sky: "The sky hasn't changed much, so we shouldn't have been unconscious for long."
"Um."
Lin Sisi tried to sit up, but because she felt dizzy, she sat back down on the ground.
