Lin Sisi pondered for a moment and quickly came up with an answer.
Because she used to have to be careful to avoid being seen by others when she wore that phoenix jade pendant, she was very sensitive to such gazes.
This woman must be trying to see if she has any valuable jewelry on her. Ha, what a money-grubber.
Luckily, she had heard her mother say that there were many pickpockets on the train, so she took off the jade pendant before boarding the train and put it in the pocket of her clothes, so no one could steal it.
I never expected that even after arriving here, there would be people who covet my territory.
It seems I can't take that jade pendant out these days. I'll wait until the weather cools down and I'm wearing a turtleneck before I take it out and wear it again.
Lin Guanghui fell in love with Chen Lu the moment he saw her.
Although Chen Lu had spent three years in the countryside working in the fields for long periods, exposed to the wind and sun, which made her skin a bit darker and rougher, her features and face shape were still very beautiful. Even with some imperfections, she was still a great beauty.
Lin Guanghui felt that this was a gift from God. He secretly decided that he must catch up with Chen Lu so that he would not be too lonely and bored in this remote rural area.
When Du Xiaoyue noticed that Lin Qingyan's bedding was missing, she asked Lin Sisi and Lin Guanghui, "Have you seen Qingyan's bedding?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Guanghui said, "I took it. That girl took my bedding when she went to the countryside. I just brought it back."
Du Xiaoyue then began to wonder about their relationship with Lin Qingyan. Moreover, all three of them shared the surname Lin, so could they be from the same family?
Lin Qingyan had privately told her about her family situation. These two people stole her bedding as soon as they arrived, and they didn't seem like good people at all. They must be the two children of Lin Qingyan's wicked stepmother.
"You took away Qingyan's bedding, what is Qingyan supposed to cover herself with?"
"I don't care, he took my bedding and he has to give it back, otherwise I'll have nothing to cover myself with. If she doesn't have a blanket, she can figure it out herself." He seemed completely indifferent.
Du Xiaoyue opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing more. After all, she was just an outsider and shouldn't say too much; she had to wait for Lin Qingyan to return.
Lin Qingyan finished delivering the pig feed when Yi Zhiheng happened to walk by.
Lin Qingyan smiled at him: "Oh, little brother, what a coincidence! I just finished delivering the pig feed and you came over."
Yi Zhiheng smiled and said, "We're siblings, so maybe we're on the same wavelength. I knew you'd be finishing work soon, which is why I came so conveniently."
Lin Qingyan felt genuinely comforted to see how witty he could be.
This proves that he's becoming more and more outgoing; "My younger brother is getting more and more talkative."
Yi Zhiheng was stunned for a moment. He felt very happy whenever he was with his sister, and he became more talkative.
Lin Qingyan said, "From now on, do this: don't keep things to yourself, talk to your sister more often."
"Sister, I understand."
They went back to the educated youth settlement together. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Lin Sisi and Lin Guanghui at the same time.
Lin Qingyan was surprised to see these two people here. She had already reported these two bastards to the Northwest. Who sent them here?
She remembered that the brigade leader had said yesterday that he was going to the commune to pick up the new educated youth; it turned out that he was picking up these two beasts.
When she saw Lin Sisi and Lin Guanghui, the two of them were also looking at her.
Lin Sisi put on a generous and kind appearance, "Qingyan, what a coincidence, we've been assigned to the same place. We can take care of each other from now on."
A smile played on her lips, but her eyes gleamed with malice.
Lin Guanghui grinned smugly, raised his chin arrogantly at Lin Qingyan, and said in a tone that was sure to get punched: "You brat, how have you been?"
The next second, Lin Sisi glared at him. With so many people around, he still couldn't watch his words.
She reprimanded Lin Guanghui: "Guanghui, Qingyan is still your sister. You can't be so rude."
Lin Guanghui pouted, but his arrogance prevented him from changing his mind. Why should he bow down to Lin Qingyan? He couldn't even be bothered to pretend.
He then turned his gaze to Yi Zhiheng beside him.
The little beggar is here too!
This will make things even more fun.
Lin Qingyan's good mood, which she had been in today, vanished instantly upon seeing them, and she even felt a bit terrible.
These two pieces of trash made her feel disgusted.
In order to maintain her composure, she didn't want to pay attention to Lin Sisi and Lin Guanghui. Just as she was about to return to her dormitory, she heard Yi Zhiheng struggling in pain next to her.
"No, don't hit me, please don't hit me, please don't!"
She quickly turned her head and saw Yi Zhiheng holding his head tightly with both hands, his face contorted in pain. He slowly squatted down and bent his knees in one direction.
Lin Qingyan was very familiar with that gesture and couldn't help but call out, "Xiao Heng, what's wrong with you? Don't kneel!"
Upon hearing his sister's voice, Yi Zhiheng suddenly regained his senses for a moment and immediately pulled his knees back from the ground.
Ah~
He then let out a shrill scream, as if he had gone mad, and turned and ran away.
"Xiao Heng!"
Lin Qingyan called out to him and quickly chased after him.
Lin Guanghui, however, curled his lips indifferently, adopting a smug look as if he were watching a good show, and said disdainfully, "Little beggar, still the same cowardly bird. He'd be scared to death if he saw me."
The other educated youth stared in astonishment at what was happening before them. Although they didn't know what had happened between Lin Qingyan and her brother and the two siblings, they knew from Lin Guanghui's behavior that he was no good.
When Lin Qingyan went outside, she saw Yi Zhiheng running quickly in one direction. He ran so fast that he turned a corner, and within a few seconds, he was out of sight.
Lin Qingyan chased after him for a while, but couldn't catch her breath and felt a tightness in her chest.
She found a corner, went into the space, and quickly took a few breaths of spiritual energy, immediately feeling much more comfortable.
She could observe the situation outside from inside the space, and seeing that there was still no one outside, she came out and continued to look for Yi Zhiheng.
"Xiao Heng, where are you?" she called out as she walked. "Xiao Heng, don't hide from your sister, please come out!"
Finally, after searching for nearly half an hour, she spotted Yi Zhiheng near a haystack in the field and quickly went over to him.
Lin Qingyan saw that he was still protecting his head with his hands, adopting a self-protective posture, and trying to lean his body into the haystack, as if only inside could he feel safe.
Even so, she could see that his body was trembling uncontrollably.
Lin Qingyan could tell that he was avoiding something; he must have been traumatized earlier. Looking at him like this, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
When they finished work, Yi Zhiheng was perfectly fine, but he started acting strangely after seeing Lin Sisi and Lin Guanghui.
It must be that beast Lin Guanghui did something to him, leaving a deep shadow in his heart, which is why he reacted so strongly when he saw that beast.
