Because Qiao's parents were staying at Bai Yajing's house, the courtyard was already full, so Zhao Liang could only go back to the educated youth settlement for one more night.
Before he left, several elders held him back and gave him repeated instructions.
"Don't open the door if you hear any noise at night! Don't open the door if anyone knocks!"
"If it really doesn't work out tonight, you can ask that Ma Zhiqing to sleep in the same room with you!"
Zhao Liang and the brothers Qiao Yu and Wang Yong used to share a room. But the Wang brothers no longer live in the village, and Qiao Yu no longer lives at the educated youth settlement. There are too many messy things going on, so now only Zhao Liang lives in the room.
After things have completely calmed down, the male educated youth should be able to choose who moves there, but they haven't had a chance yet.
They were afraid that Zhao Liang, being so simple-minded, would be targeted by someone.
Bai Yajing's eyes darted around, and she had a good idea.
She took two packets of medicine powder out of her pocket and put them in his hand.
"Comrade Zhao, boys need to take good care of themselves when they're out and about! If she really targets you, don't panic. Just throw the drug at her as soon as she comes in, and she won't be able to get what she wants! Once she's unconscious, you can drag her out and dump her anywhere!"
Zhao Liang felt a warmth in his heart and solemnly took the medicine packet, carefully placing it in his pocket.
"Yes, I've noted it all down! I'll go find Ma Zhiqing later!"
He felt that among the educated youth, Ma was the only decent one. Although he was a bit cold, he wasn't a bad person.
He returned to the educated youth settlement, looking back every few steps.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he went to find Ma Zhiqing.
After washing up, just as she was about to go back to her room to sleep, Zhao Liang pulled her away.
"Ma Zhiqing, I need to talk to you!"
The remaining people looked at each other, wondering what he was up to.
Ma Zhiqing's eyes flickered slightly. Although she didn't know why he was looking for her, she still followed him.
Zhao Liang didn't mince words; once they were in a secluded corner, he got straight to the point.
“Ma Zhiqing, why don’t you move into our room?”
Ma, the educated youth, was taken aback, somewhat puzzled. "Huh? But we haven't discussed it yet. We originally planned to draw lots to decide which two would move in after you all moved out!"
Since Zhao Liang hasn't moved out yet, they're not in a hurry to move there.
Zhao Liang waved his hand. "It's only a matter of time. Anyway, there are four of you. It's two people sharing a room anyway, so it doesn't matter who moves."
"Why don't you move in tonight? I'll help you. Okay?"
If he could move in with us, that would be the best. That Zhang educated youth can't just squeeze into a room where two men live, can he?
Ma Zhiqing put her hands in her pockets and looked at him suspiciously. "You...do you know something?"
Is this big, simple-minded guy just faking it? Does he actually see everything clearly?
Zhao Liang scratched his head; they probably didn't realize that Doctor Bai had overheard their conversation...
He couldn't admit it, he couldn't expose Dr. Bai!
"What do you know? I... I'm just a little scared living alone..."
Yes, he's a coward!
Upon hearing this, Ma Zhiqing was so shocked that she choked on her saliva and coughed until her face turned red.
"Huh? What did you say? You, you're just a pretty face?"
Wow, such a tall guy, and he's afraid to live alone? Hmm, you really can't judge a book by its cover!
Zhao Liang blushed slightly as he was looked at with an indescribable gaze... but he endured it so that Doctor Bai wouldn't be discovered!
"Everyone has flaws. I'm afraid of the dark, and that's normal!"
Ma Zhiqing stared at him for a while, and finally nodded helplessly.
Regardless of whether he actually knows anything, Zhao Liang is currently in the most dangerous situation. He lives alone in a room, and he seems like a good person, making him the easiest target. Although he often acts as if it doesn't concern him, ...
