"There's nothing I can do." Lin Jianfeng gave a bitter laugh. "Back then, every family had to have a graduate of appropriate age come to the countryside as an educated youth. My brother and I were the only ones in our family, and he was young and couldn't handle the hardship, so I came."
Li Wenwen looked at him distressedly, "Brother Lin, you are like this because you care too much about others."
Lin Jianfeng smiled indifferently, "After all, I am the eldest brother. An elder brother is like a father, that's what I should do."
Li Wenwen looked at Lin Jianfeng's expression and felt even more upset. "Brother Lin, if you had the chance to leave here and return to the city, would you be willing?"
Lin Jianfeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he regained his composure.
"Of course I'm willing, but where can I get such an opportunity?" Lin Jianfeng sighed. "Among the educated youth here, there's no one who doesn't want to go back, but it's just a thought. There are people in this village who have been here for more than ten years and haven't been able to go back, let alone us."
His tone was melancholy, and Li Wenwen's heart ached.
"There will be a chance, we will definitely be able to return to the city." She comforted Lin Jianfeng.
"I hope so." Lin Jianfeng sighed.
He did not continue talking about this topic. After all, he did not have much contact with Li Wenwen. He knew that too much is as bad as too little, and he could not eat hot tofu in a hurry.
"Brother Lin, what did you want to say just now?" Li Wenwen asked.
"It's nothing, actually." Lin Jianfeng smiled. "I wanted to talk to you, too. I wanted to ask you why you came to such a remote place like ours?"
"I have no choice." Li Wenwen was not in a good mood when talking about this. "I have always followed my brother's butt since I was a child. I went to the same school as him and went wherever he went. My family said that it would be easier to take care of me. In fact, I can live independently, but they don't believe me."
"My brother wanted to join the professors in this program. My family thought it was a good idea, so they asked me to apply as well. So I ended up joining him again. It seemed to my parents that I couldn't accomplish anything without him."
Li Wenwen's tone was full of desire for freedom. Lin Jianfeng analyzed her character while listening to her. In the past few days of contact, he had roughly known something about her. This girl came from a well-off family, and she was naive and self-centered.
Lin Jianfeng smiled. This kind of girl was the easiest to handle, almost the same as Pan Fangfang.
"I believe in you." Lin Jianfeng said firmly, "You can definitely prove yourself to them."
"Thank you, Brother Lin." Li Wenwen looked at him. "You are the first person who understands me. I am really happy to be your friend."
"I should thank you." Lin Jianfeng said with a wry smile, "You are one of the few people in this village who is willing to pay attention to me."
Li Wenwen recalled the rumors in the village and was instantly filled with righteous indignation. "Brother Lin, I believe you are not the kind of person they say you are. It's others who misunderstood you. It doesn't matter. We are friends. I won't listen to other people's comments."
Lin Jianfeng looked at her with a touching expression, until Li Wenwen's face turned red again, then he slowly said: "Wenwen, you are so kind."
"Nothing... nothing." Li Wenwen turned her eyes away shyly.
The two of them just sat there, not talking and feeling the good atmosphere.
This was the scene that Li Wenjun and his companions saw. If the heroine in the scene was not his sister, he would have praised the scene as beautiful.
But seeing that Li Wenwen was really with Lin Jianfeng, Li Wenjun was instantly furious and roared from a distance: "Li Wenwen, what are you doing!"
Xu Wen behind him also had a grim expression on his face and stared at the two of them.
Li Wenwen was startled by the sudden roar, and when she saw her brother, she panicked.
"It's over, it's over. How did my brother know I was here?"
A hint of gloom flashed across Lin Jianfeng's eyes, but then he put on a smile again, "Wenwen, why are you panicking? Aren't we just chatting with friends?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Wenwen was stunned for a moment, then calmed down. She wondered what she was panicking about.
Li Wenjun strode over and pulled Li Wenwen over, angrily saying, "Is this what you told me to do? Go back to sleep? And you slept here?"
"Brother, let me go, you're hurting me!" Li Wenwen shook off his hand, dissatisfied, "Can't I go out for a walk?"
"Okay, but I didn't let you be with others. Do you know that you are a girl?"
This was the first time Li Wenjun said such harsh words to his sister.
