"Don't think you can slander me just because you don't know anything about it. How did this become my fault?"
"I don't remember doing anything, and I don't even know you. What makes you think it's my fault?"
Chu Ci felt truly wronged at this moment, because in his memory, there was no such thing at all.
But why would Song Fang say that now?
Judging from Song Lili's murderous look, it doesn't seem fake. Could it be that she's forgetful? Has she forgotten?
Chu Ci shook his head. He had a pretty good memory, and if such a thing really happened, he definitely wouldn't forget it.
In particular, it is related to Song Lili.
You know, that brat really left a deep impression on him back then!
Chu Ci's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...?
Just as Chu Ci was making some guesses, Song Fang spoke up quietly, "Have you forgotten that you were a bandit last time?"
"But what does that have to do with you?" This was the question that always puzzled Chu Ci.
Song Fang looked at Chu Ci with a pang of heartache. She had been timid and cowardly for years because of him, but he knew nothing about it.
Now, they're even looking at them with such an innocent expression, which makes Song Fang angry.
She couldn't help but glare at him and said, "Hmph, of course you don't remember how powerful you were back then."
"Riding a horse and watching others flee like stray dogs, doesn't it feel exhilarating?"
Originally, Song Fang didn't care, but the more she talked, the angrier she became, and she couldn't help but get angry.
"Do you know how despicable what you did was? Do you know how many people starved and how many people died because of you?"
"They're all able-bodied people, yet they don't know how to use their own hands and feet, and instead try to steal from others. Don't they have any conscience?"
Chu Ci was speechless. He had only gone out for fun and novelty, so why was it acting like he had done something heinous?
"But what does this have to do with you?" Chu Ci looked at Song Fang pitifully.
Song Fang took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, taking the opportunity to suppress her anger before speaking.
"You probably don't know this, but when you were chasing my sister, she hid me nearby, so I heard your voice."
"And you scared me too. For the next few years, I was timid and afraid, and I was afraid to see people. I would be scared by the slightest noise. I've only gotten better recently."
Speaking of the past, Song Fang felt a little sad. Back then, her sister took care of her every day, afraid that she would be scared.
If it weren't for her older sister, she probably wouldn't have recovered to this state, and might even be more timid.
"This...this...I didn't know." Chu Ci was clearly not expecting there to be such a thing inside. His lips twitched for a long time before he finally stammered out a sentence.
"Of course you don't know. You were all so powerful back then, you had no idea how scared we were." Song Fang glared at Chu Ci with fierce eyes.
Chu Ci felt as if she were being wronged to death.
"No, I didn't. I didn't have such thoughts. Besides, I'm not a bandit. I was just curious, so I went to see what was going on."
"Besides, I only rode around on horseback that day, and I never expected to get stabbed in the back by your sister in the end."
"I'm still feeling wronged." Chu Ci said this very softly, afraid that Song Lili would hit him again.
I don't know what this brat ate to grow up like that. She's so strong, and he couldn't budge her an inch.
So, he was quite perceptive and stood there obediently.
"That's your own fault. Why are you so curious? Why did you have to become a bandit out of curiosity? You deserved to get stabbed," Song Fang said with a laugh.
Unexpectedly, the inside story was like this.
"I...I only went because I saw that I could ride a horse," Chu Ci said, full of regret.
He hadn't expected that Song Fang would become timid because of him. Thinking about it, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
And in his heart, some questions were answered, such as why Song Lili disliked him so much.
No wonder Song Lili didn't look at him the first time they met.
Put yourself in his shoes. If his sister had experienced something like that, he probably would have done even worse, at least giving her a beating.
Song Lili simply ignored him and spoke harshly to him, which was already a great restraint.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that my curiosity would cause you such harm. I'm sorry."
Having learned the whole story, Chu Ci no longer had the roguish air he had a few days ago. He had a serious face and a very earnest expression.
If he had known the consequences, he certainly wouldn't have done it.
Even if they were very curious, they wouldn't want to experience what it's like to be a bandit.
My resentment towards Song Lili disappeared, and I even understood her actions. For the first time, I was able to treat Song Lili calmly.
As for getting stabbed, well... he can only accept his bad luck. Who told him to be so curious?
So the saying "curiosity killed the cat" is quite true.
"You... never mind, I don't want to dwell on this. If we meet again, let's just pretend we don't know each other."
Song Lili was also speechless at this moment. What kind of situation was this?
She never imagined that Chu Ci's reason for appearing in Hongqi Village was simply out of curiosity, which is why he appeared there as a bandit.
Now that she knows the truth, she doesn't know what to say.
He deserved it.
Otherwise, who told him to run around like that?
However, his intense emotions towards Chu Ci seemed to have subsided; he only found it somewhat amusing and a little schadenfreude.
So, when she finally faced Chu Ci, she hesitated for a long time before finally saying this.
Now that Fangfang is better, there's no need to avoid Chu Ci anymore, and Chu Ci didn't do it on purpose.
She took the opportunity to give Chu Ci a good beating, so it's even, right?
From now on, just treat each other like strangers when you meet.
"That won't do." Chu Ci exclaimed instinctively after hearing Song Lili's words. Could they really treat each other like strangers?
Let alone the fact that he's going to stay in Hongqi Village for several years, how could he possibly pretend not to know him in the future?
Besides, he had some other thoughts in his mind, so he couldn't treat him like a stranger.
Therefore, we cannot be strangers, either for public or private reasons.
However, Song Lili misunderstood Chu Ci's words. Her expression, which had just improved, immediately darkened, and she glared at Chu Ci.
"Then what else do you want to do? Are you still planning to act like this, like a petty thug?"
