Chapter 188 Returning to the City



Even Gu Shi was unaware of these matters.

Just hearing what Feng Chao said, even the abridged version of the scene, made him so disgusted he wanted to beat him up again.

Lin Qingyu also noticed that Gu Shi was on the verge of exploding in rage, and his fists were already hard.

She quickly hugged Gu Shi, because if Gu Shi were to make a move now, he would definitely kill Feng Chao.

It's not worth going to jail for someone like that; she has plenty of ways to deal with him.

Feng Chao, who had been kneeling on the ground, quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Qingyu, please let me go! I was so young back then, I didn't understand anything, and besides, nothing happened, right?"

Lin Qingyu felt she was about to lose her temper. She gave a cold laugh and said:

"Nothing happened? If something really happened, would I still be standing here now? The grass on my grave would probably be taller than you!"

"Qingyu, don't get agitated. Consider all the care I've given you over the years as compensation, okay?"

"Take care of me? What did you take care of me in? Let me copy your answers during the exam? Bring me two apples? Or did you help Wu Lili bully me?"

The name Wu Lili was so unfamiliar to Feng Chao. He remembered that when he finally found out about her, Wu Lili was already in prison.

It's obvious who did this.

Feng Chao panicked even more, fearing he would lose everything he had and that Feng Jianguo was unreliable.

His family is counting on him to make something of himself; the whole family is pinning their hopes on him.

"Qingyu, what do you want to do? Just tell me. I'll do anything you can. Please, don't tell anyone about this!"

Little did he know that his appearance had already been seen by the people in the vicinity.

For example, teachers and curious students in elementary schools, or people in He Jinhua's clinic.

Although no one could hear what the others were saying, they were all guessing whether Feng Chao had offended Lin Qingyu again and why he had been beaten by Gu Shi again.

Many people have seen the scene where Feng Chao was thrown over the shoulder by Gu Shi.

But since the village chief didn't say anything, the villagers were even less likely to stand up for Feng Chao.

This time, however, both sides seemed particularly agitated!

Lin Qingyu looked at Feng Chao coldly, and even now, thinking back on it, she felt disgusted!

"dream!"

Lin Qingyu's reply consisted of only two words. Although she was very angry, she also knew that it would be troublesome if Gu Shi stayed here any longer.

She then grabbed Gu Shi and strode away, afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold him back, and clung tightly to his arm with both hands.

Although Gu Shi followed Lin Qingyu, his gaze remained fixed on Feng Chao.

For a fleeting moment, Gu Shi genuinely wanted to kill Feng Chao.

Feng Chao, kneeling on the ground, was at a loss. He wanted to continue begging Lin Qingyu, but he was afraid of Gu Shi's fists and feet.

In the end, he could only slink away and sneak to the vicinity of Gu Shi's house, secretly watching Lin Qingyu, afraid that she would run to the village chief's office again.

If the people of Pear Blossom Village find out about this, he will never be able to come back!

Fortunately, after Lin Qingyu pulled Gu Shi into the house, she didn't go out again. Until dark, Feng Chao didn't see any movement at Gu Shi's door.

The weather was hot, and Feng Chao finally couldn't stand the mosquito bites anymore, so he went home.

Lin Qingyu kept comforting Gu Shi, and she could sense his anger.

It wasn't that she wasn't angry, but she still retained a sliver of rationality. If Gu Shi had actually made a move just now, Feng Chao would probably be gone.

"Gu Shi? Gu Shi?"

Lin Qingyu nudged Gu Shi, who was sitting silently to the side, wondering what his current state was.

Gu Shi sat on the bench without saying a word. He had been enduring it all along. When he heard Feng Chao say those things, he wished he could punch him to death.

Only Lin Qingyu held him tightly, preventing him from going berserk on the spot.

Lin Qingyu noticed that Gu Shi remained silent and showed no reaction.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Gu Shi's eyes were red—truly red!

"Gu Shi, don't scare me. I know you're angry, and as the person involved, I wish he would just die!"

"But we can't let such a piece of trash ruin our lives! Gu Shi, listen to me, look me in the eyes!"

Lin Qingyu was quite scared. What if Gu Shi really couldn't hold back...?

Gu Shi suddenly reached out and hugged Lin Qingyu tightly.

The two hugged in that position for a while before separating. When they saw Gu Shi's eyes again, they had returned to normal.

"I'm just so angry. I only hate myself for not standing up for you back then!"

When Gu Shi was a child, he initially clung to Lin Qingyu, even though she didn't remember him.

But Lin Qingyu rejected him time and time again, her eyes filled with disgust, and the smile she wore when she was with Feng Chao.

All of these things were piercing Xiao Gu Shi's heart, and slowly, he gave up.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, it's all in the past!"

Lin Qingyu couldn't bear to see Gu Shi like this, so she comforted him.

Gu Shi raised his head, his anger still burning. He stared at the doorway and said fiercely.

"Isn't he still in Xinshi City? There are plenty of ways to make him suffer!"

Hearing Gu Shi say this, Lin Qingyu stopped talking. She knew that Gu Shi had taken her words to heart.

She had no objections as long as Gu Shi didn't kill the person himself.

It was almost dark when the two finished discussing things, and Lin Qingyu originally planned to go to the kitchen to cook.

Unexpectedly, Gu Shi wouldn't let her go. Instead, he went into the kitchen and cooked two dishes, which he ate with the leftover steamed buns from the morning.

"I'm going home tomorrow; I still have a lot to do."

Gu Shi had a cold face all afternoon, and he didn't even smile when he was facing Lin Qingyu.

After finishing his meal, he even offered to go home the next day.

Lin Qingyu could understand and tolerate anything that wasn't a crime.

So the two of them went home to Xinshi City ahead of time. Just as they arrived home, Gu Jue had just lain down to take a nap.

Lin Qingyu seemed perfectly normal, and she asked Li Xiuhua with a smile.

"Mother, how is Xiao Bei?"

These past few days, she has been worried about Gu Jue from time to time, fearing that if she is not by the child's side, Gu Jue will cry and look for her.

Although Li Xiuhua was curious about why the two of them had returned so early, she didn't say much and started talking to Lin Qingyu.

"Xiao Bei has been doing well these past few days, but I can't seem to see you. I look for you when I wake up in the morning and when I go to bed at night."

Hearing these words, Lin Qingyu felt her heart clench.

She then asked, "Did she cry?"

Li Xiuhua felt both heartache and relief: "Of course he'll cry! But don't worry too much, Xiao Bei is a good boy."

"I told her that you went back to your hometown and would be back in a couple of days, and she stopped crying so much. She just kept looking towards the door, as if she was waiting for you to come home!"

Hearing this, Lin Qingyu felt her heart melt.

Only then did Li Xiuhua realize that Gu Shi's expression was not good, and she frowned as she looked at Lin Qingyu.
