“It’s not that she gave up, it’s that Su Zhiqing didn’t give her a chance at all.”
Lin Jingyu shook her head with amusement, "She's not looking for Su Zhiqing now, but she's completely focused on Shu Jue, hoping she'll cheat on him soon so she can take advantage of the situation."
"Pfft~"
Peng Shiyu burst out laughing, "Shujue cheated on me? How could that be?"
"Chu Liang hasn't given up yet."
Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "He is very devoted. Even though he knows that Shujue doesn't like him and only sees him as a friend, he still can't bear to let go."
"Yes, he's so devoted."
Peng Shiyu nodded. "However, I don't think that's a good idea."
Lin Jingyu raised an eyebrow. "Oh, how so?"
"It's simple, he's forcing it."
Peng Shiyu pursed her lips and said, "Knowing there's no future, he still insists on getting entangled. This not only has a bad influence on the relationship between Shujue and Jingtian, but his infatuation also hurts himself."
"It won't be fair to him when he gets married in the future."
"Silly girl."
Lin Jingyu chuckled, "There is no such thing as fairness in the world. So-called fairness is just superficial. No matter what happens, you must remember not to expect fairness from others."
Just remember to protect what's rightfully yours; what's yours should be yours, and what's not, you don't need to force.
Peng Shiyu was stunned for a long time, then murmured, "Is it the same with matters of the heart?"
"There is indeed a kind of affection in the world that is mutual love and support."
Lin Jingyu's eyes sparkled with anticipation, "Everyone wants this kind of beautiful feeling, but not everyone can encounter it."
Most people are able to come together mainly because they are compatible or out of necessity.
How can a couple like this possibly have a mutual, devoted relationship? It's already quite an achievement if they can just make do and live a lifetime together.
"That's true."
Peng Shiyu nodded silently.
Her previous quietness did not mean she was ignorant.
Because she doesn't like to talk, her family members talk to her about everything.
Whether it's adult matters or children's matters, I'll tell her all sorts of things.
Now she lives in Shuibu Village.
Seeing how the couples in the village get along, arguing every three days and fighting every five, I could clearly feel the problems that existed in some families and relationships.
Just then.
Faintly, urgent, choked cries could be heard, "Sister, sister~"
"It looks like Xiaonan."
Lin Jingyu suddenly stood up and rushed outside while saying, "It's Xiaonan's voice. I wonder if something has happened."
Peng Shiyu quickly chased after her.
"Xiao Nan~"
Lin Jingyu heard the sound and headed towards the path at the foot of the back mountain.
She immediately saw her younger brother running away, crying and shouting, "Sis, hurry and save Wenxi! We've encountered a wild boar! Waaaaah!"
"Don't cry, don't cry."
Lin Jingyu tried her best to control her emotions. "Xiao Nan, don't cry. Tell me what happened."
"Let's go up the mountain to look for wild boars!"
Lin Ruinan cried miserably, sobbing as she explained, "I never expected to actually encounter wild boars. I was trying to climb a tree, but then other wild boars came running over..."
"Did you encounter a herd of wild boars?"
Lin Jingyu's heart jumped into her throat. "How is Wenxi?"
"He told me to run fast, or we'd attract the wild boars."
Lin Ruinan responded through tears, "Sister, you need to go find him quickly, we don't know how Wenxi is doing now."
"Xiao Nan, you guys are too bold."
Peng Shiyu couldn't help but rebuke, "None of us dare to go up the mountain casually, let alone provoke wild boars. How could you be so bold?"
"We didn't know we would actually encounter wild boars."
Lin Ruinan cried and said, "We said we were going to find wild boars, but we were just going up the mountain to play. We never expected to encounter wild boars while just wandering around."
"You brought this on yourself."
Lin Jingyu was both angry and annoyed, so she said to the person next to her, "Shiyu, go to the cowshed and find my grandfather, and tell him about this."
Please also ask Su and He, the educated youth, to come to the back mountain to find us.
"By the way, little brother, did you guys go to the Sharp-Beak Peak area?"
Lin Ruinan nodded in response, "It's the back ridge of Jianzui Peak."
"I understand, I'll go right away."
Peng Shiyu immediately turned around and ran to the cowshed.
"Xiao Nan, slow down and follow me."
Lin Jingyu was worried that his body couldn't hold up, so she instructed him, "I'll run and find someone first, see if I can find Wenxi."
"Sister, you need to go quickly."
Lin Ruinan knew she couldn't keep up with her sister's pace.
Watching his older sister run away, he wiped away another tear from the corner of his eye.
Ignoring his exhaustion, he gritted his teeth and followed them back to the back of the mountain.
When Peng Shiyu came to the cowshed to deliver the news, it gave the three elderly people a big fright.
"Those two brats are asking for it."
Grandpa Zhang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "How dare someone so young go up the mountain to look for wild boars!"
"Stop yelling here."
Grandpa Sun snapped at him, "Hurry up and go up the mountain to check. If something really happens, you won't even have time to cry."
"This kid is incredibly resilient."
Old Master Zhang remained defiant, saying, "It won't be easy to take his life."
"Come up the mountain with me."
Master Liu ignored the man whose hands were already trembling. "You can be stubborn when you see the person."
Then he turned to Peng Shiyu and said, "Girl, go find Su and the others. More people means more strength. If you need to find someone, it's easier to find them if there are more people."
