It turns out that the woman today was Song Lili's junior high school teacher, who taught humanities subjects such as history, politics, and Chinese.
It turned out that the person who had been treated so roughly today was her teacher, which made Song Lili feel even more resentful.
A feeling of helplessness filled her entire body, causing her to suddenly lose all her strength, like someone who was seriously ill.
"Lili, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so pale?" Song Yongren asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I'm probably just tired." Song Lili smiled weakly, her face and lips were pale, and there were tears in her eyes.
"Are you sick? I'll take you to see a doctor." Song Yongren put down his tools and came over to pull Song Lili.
Song Lili stepped aside, saying, "It's okay, I'm just tired today. I'll be fine after a nap."
Song Lili knew that she was just feeling unwell; there was nothing wrong with her body at all, and even the senior doctor couldn't tell.
"Are you feeling alright?" Song Yongren asked, still concerned.
"No, I'm going to bed. I won't eat dinner." After saying that, Song Lili went into the house and closed the door.
When she was alone, Song Lili let her surging thoughts fly freely, allowing them to rampage through her mind.
This is just the beginning. Next, there will definitely be other acquaintances who will be treated like this. Song Lili told herself that she had to get used to it.
But why does my heart ache so much? Why are my eyes suddenly blurry? Why do I feel so suffocated?
She desperately wanted to rebuke those people, but reason told her it was useless; she couldn't interfere on her own.
Like a grain of sand in the desert, how could it possibly influence the entire desert? Like a drop of water, how could it possibly change the direction of a river?
All she could do was go with the flow and watch coldly from the sidelines.
That night, Song Lili felt that she was sick, and the illness was somewhat inexplicable.
But she kept having dreams where Teacher Ma was always there, questioning why she didn't stand up for her.
Why do people watch so many people doing such cruel things without saying a word? Why are they so cold-blooded?
Song Lili wanted to explain, but she couldn't bring herself to speak. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't utter a single word.
She was anxious and cried, tears streaming down her face, but she couldn't wash away the suffocation and pain in her heart.
When Song Lili got up in the morning, the pillow and blanket under her were all wet, and when she touched them, they were ice cold.
Song Fang looked at her with concern, her eyes filled with undisguised care, but she refrained from asking and only glanced at her from time to time.
Song Lili felt even more heartbroken seeing Song Fang like this. She touched Song Fang's head and said, "Sister is fine, she just had a nightmare."
"Don't worry, Fangfang, I'll be fine. I'll take good care of you and protect you from now on. I won't let anything happen to me."
Song Lili's words were less about comforting Song Fang and more about comforting herself, a form of self-hypnosis.
She told herself that she still had people to protect, that she couldn't be so impulsive, that her choices were all right, and that she hadn't done anything wrong.
"Lili, are you up? Are you feeling better?" Song Yongren came over to check on Song Lili immediately.
"It's alright, don't worry." Song Lili suppressed all her thoughts and smiled at Song Yongren, though her face was still a little pale.
"It's good that you're alright. I was worried you might be sick." Song Yongren breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine, I'm perfectly healthy, Uncle, I'm going out for a bit." Song Lili ignored Song Yongren's reply and rushed out the door.
She didn't know how she got there, but in the end she stopped at the old people's door. In the courtyard, Zhao Qian looked at her with a worried expression.
"Grandma Zhao, you're up?" Song Lili greeted her with a smile.
"Girl, is something on your mind?" Zhao Qian opened the door, pulled Song Lili inside, and then asked.
"I'm fine," Song Lili said with a forced smile, then changed her tone, "I just have some feelings about what happened yesterday."
“Girl, don’t worry about these things. Just focus on your own life. Grandma knows you’re upset, but… there’s nothing you can do about it.” Zhao Qian said, her eyes welling up with tears.
Seeing Zhao Qian's tears, Song Lili suddenly realized that she shouldn't have brought this up in front of Grandma Zhao.
This was her wound to begin with; how could she tear open this scar in front of Zhao Qian?
Song Lili was a little anxious and at a loss. "I know, I know, Grandma Zhao. I was just feeling upset, that's why I told you."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to bring it up."
Song Lili wanted to slap herself. What was she being so dramatic about? Now look what happened! They slept together, didn't they?
"It's alright, girl. Your Grandma Zhao is just feeling sorry for that teacher from yesterday," Qian Xianming said to Song Lili.
They were in the field yesterday, so they saw everything from beginning to end and know what happened.
Qian Xianming said, "Don't worry, your Grandma Zhao will be fine in a little while. People tend to be more sentimental when they get old."
Song Lili didn't know how to respond, afraid of accidentally upsetting Zhao Qian again, so she could only watch Zhao Qian anxiously.
On the contrary, Zhao Qian, after shedding a few tears, was amused by Song Lili's appearance and said, "Okay, don't look at me like that."
“Your grandma has lived for so many years, I’ve seen it all, I’m not that fragile, there’s no need to be so careful.”
"After shedding a few tears, I actually felt much lighter. Your Grandpa Qian was right, people get sentimental when they get old."
"Girl, sit down. Grandma still needs to cook. Otherwise, these old bones of mine won't be able to handle getting out of bed." With that, she left.
Song Lili looked at Qian Xianming, somewhat unsure whether Zhao Qian was alright or just putting on a brave face.
Qian Xianming smiled and said to Song Lili, "Your Grandma Zhao is fine, don't worry."
"That's right, that old woman is very strong. She won't be discouraged by your two words. Just relax."
"real?"
“Of course it’s true, would I lie to you?” Wu Zhongge said, his eyes wide.
"That's good, that's good..." Song Lili patted her chest, feeling as if she had escaped a disaster.
After Zhao Qian's outburst, Song Lili's original emotions disappeared, and her mind became clearer.
Song Lili laughed at herself, realizing she was being dramatic. She already knew the truth, so why was she so upset and upset?
If you understand this in your heart, then why be so sentimental? It's better to be indifferent; that way you'll feel more at ease and comfortable.
Why act like a pure, innocent flower? Why be so pretentious?
Once she understood, Song Lili recovered completely, became energetic again, and returned to her former self.
