But An Yan could sense that Lin Xuanjiao felt a little guilty when she said this. Why was she guilty? Wasn't it because she had some feelings for Song Ying'an in her heart?
"You need to think carefully. You deserve someone better with your conditions. You can't confine yourself to this small mountain village."
"But you've already said I'm good, so why would I pursue someone with good conditions? With my conditions, I can make sure he lives a good life no matter what his family is like. So when I look for a man, I only consider whether he's compatible with me. I don't care about anything else."
An Yan was silent after hearing what she said. In the end, she just couldn't let go of Song Ying'an. Unable to convince Lin Xuanjiao, An Yan was too lazy to say anything more. She felt that if she continued talking, she might be annoyed.
Lin Xuanjiao looked at An Yan's frail body and felt a little worried. "Why don't you go back and rest for a while? You can't run around in your current physical condition. You can't come to me until you're fully recovered. I won't help you if you do."
An Yan didn't try to be brave this time. She could feel that her body couldn't hold on any longer. "Then I'll go back first. You should go back early too! It's too late."
After An Yan took a few steps, she suddenly ran to Lin Xuanjiao and said to her, "You and Song Ying'an should be careful about what's going on. Don't let anyone else find out. If they do, they won't be as easy to deal with as I am."
After saying this, An Yan really slipped away.
Lin Xuanjiao looked at An Yan's back and her face turned red again. The relationship between her and Song Ying'an was really not what An Yan thought. Why didn't An Yan believe her?
Lin Xuanjiao stayed there for a while, and only returned to the Youth League Home after her emotions had stabilized.
As soon as she returned to the Youth League Home, she found the door ajar. Lin Xuanjiao opened it with just a gentle push of the handle. It seemed that this was the door that someone had left for her since she hadn't returned yet.
Lin Xuanjiao bolted the door before going to her room to get her toiletries.
As soon as Lin Xuanjiao entered the room, she saw a kerosene lamp placed in the middle of the table. It was the first time that Lin Xuanjiao saw such an old item. She was a little curious and had looked at it many times.
Qiao Ling looked at Lin Xuanjiao and quickly put down the book in her hand. She then ran to her and said, "You're finally back. I was thinking if you hadn't come back I would have gone to look for you."
Seeing that Qiao Ling cared about her so much, Lin Xuanjiao did not feel any ill will towards her. The only people who could feel ill will towards someone like Qiao Ling were probably Liu Yiyi and the others. They were all out of their minds.
Lin Xuanjiao noticed that Qiao Ling was still holding a book and asked, "Are you still reading?"
Qiao Ling felt a little embarrassed. "I don't know what I can do if I don't read books. I might as well read some old books to kill time."
"Did you bring all your old books?"
Qiao Ling nodded, "Yes! I brought all the books I could."
Thinking about the college entrance exam in 1977, Lin Xuanjiao couldn't help but want to remind Qiao Ling: "It's good to study more. What if it comes in handy someday?"
Liu Yiyi heard the conversation from the side and rolled her eyes, sneering at what Lin Xuanjiao said, "What are you talking about! We're not allowed to study anymore, and you still say that reading more is good."
Lin Xuanjiao didn't indulge Liu Yiyi's temper. She glared at her and said, "Liu Yiyi, you're itching for trouble, right? Do you want me to loosen it for you?"
Liu Yiyi was so frightened by Lin Xuanjiao that she crawled into the quilt and wrapped herself tightly, fearing that Lin Xuanjiao would suddenly come up and beat her up. Her face hadn't healed yet! She really didn't want to add to the wound.
Seeing Liu Yiyi frightened like this, Lin Xuanjiao was speechless. Please! If you're already so scared, why are you still messing with her? Is this the legendary "human addiction"?
Lin Xuanjiao picked up her toiletries and prepared to go out to work. She looked at Qiao Ling and encouraged her, "Don't worry about what others say. You read books for yourself. Don't change your mind because of what others think."
After saying this, Lin Xuanjiao went to the backyard to wash up.
Qiao Ling looked at the direction where Lin Xuanjiao was going, with a confused expression on her face: "Can't I change my mind because of what others think?"
In fact, Qiao Ling did not need to go to the countryside. It was her elder brother who had to go. However, in order to let her son stay in the city, her mother spent a lot of money to exchange her elder brother's house with hers.
Qiao Ling felt a little depressed when she thought about what had happened before. Even if her mother had written her a few letters during the time she was in the countryside, she would not have such a strong resentment towards her family.
Qiao Ling was a little confused about what her mother was thinking. If she didn't like her, she shouldn't have given birth to her. She didn't want to live such a miserable life.
Meng Qi walked over to Qiao Ling and patted her shoulder soothingly: "Alright, what are you thinking about? As long as you're living a good life now, that's enough. Don't worry too much and add to your troubles."
Qiao Ling hugged Meng Qi, her voice choking with sobs: "Meng Qi, I'm really grateful to you. Otherwise, I don't know how I would have survived here alone."
Meng Qi wiped the tears from Qiao Ling's face and said softly, "Alright, stop crying. We still have to go to work tomorrow! It's better for us to rest early."
Qiao Ling thought so too. She still had to go to work tomorrow! She couldn't imagine what it would be like if she went to see it with her own red and swollen eyes.
Forget it! Since it has already happened no matter how she thinks about it, she will just live the present well.
After washing up in the yard, Lin Xuanjiao returned to the house and saw darkness as soon as she entered the door. The kerosene lamp that had been lighting the room just now had run out of power.
Lin Xuanjiao already had an idea of where her bed was and could find it on her own without any lighting.
Lin Xuanjiao tiptoed back to the bed. The moment she lay down, she sighed comfortably. This feeling of whole body relaxation was really rare.
Should I be able to fall asleep this time? Lin Xuanjiao thought about how she barely slept last night and barely slept all day today. Thinking about this, it should be easy to fall asleep.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuanjiao quickly closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep quickly.
Maybe because she was extremely tired, Lin Xuanjiao closed her eyes and fell asleep when these people had just laid down and no one was snoring yet.
Lin Xuanjiao, who thought she could fall asleep this time, opened her eyes with a sense of despair. Listening to the symphony playing around her, she felt really annoyed.
