Yu Xiangyang stopped, he saw Wen Qiuning retreating.
He couldn't make the decision for her, so he just said calmly, "We've come this far. If you give up, there will be no chance."
Wen Qiuning raised his eyes, his gaze firm, "Can you please be a witness?"
Yu Xiangyang: "Hmm?"
Wen Qiuning said, "I want Captain Niu to write a letter of guarantee, clearly stating his crimes and promising not to harass me again. If he breaks his promise, I will hand it over to the Public Security Bureau and have him jailed!"
Yu Xiangyang still maintained the same attitude, "Just think it through."
Captain Niu was afraid that the Public Security Bureau would investigate his actions in the village, so he would naturally be more than happy not to go to the Public Security Bureau now.
However, a cunning man like him would never admit to having done those things. He said, "I can write a letter of guarantee, but I didn't do those things! Wen Zhiqing, you can't force me to admit it. I promise not to come to you again!"
Yu Xiangyang didn't have the patience to negotiate with him. "I think I'd better hand you over to the Public Security Bureau and let them deal with you as they see fit!"
Captain Niu understood that the key to success lay with Wen Qiuning. He ignored Yu Xiangyang and said to Wen Qiuning, "Wen Zhiqing, if you destroy me, you will be destroyed too."
Wen Qiuning was silent for a moment, her already cold tone thickening with ice. "Three things must be clearly stated in the letter of guarantee. First, you have been harassing me since I came to the village. Second, on November 5, 1975, you lured me to the village office and attempted to rape me. Third, you used the promise of a university place to coerce and bribe me into sleeping with you! If you disagree, I will go to the Public Security Bureau with you and fight to the death!"
Yu Xiangyang was shocked by these things, but also felt a little pity for Wen Qiuning.
When she went to the countryside, she was probably as young as Lin Ye is now. She saw Lin Ye was innocent and happy all day long, but she had experienced so many sad things.
The old man looked at Wen Qiuning's determination and finally compromised.
Just like that, under Yu Xiangyang's witness, the old man wrote a letter of guarantee.
Wen Qiuning carried paper and pen in her schoolbag, but there was no ink pad when she pressed her fingerprints.
Yu Xiangyang squeezed the ink out of the pen, applied it on everyone's thumb, and pressed their fingerprints.
The old man wrote the letter of guarantee and fled.
Wen Qiuning put the paper and pen into her schoolbag, still looking calm and collected. "Comrade Yu Xiangyang, thank you."
Yu Xiangyang didn't know whether he sympathized with Wen Qiuning's experience or was angry that the old man wasn't brought to justice. He was in a bad mood and said, "Let's go back."
The two walked side by side, with a distance of more than one meter between them.
Along the way, no one spoke, only the sound of two people's footsteps in unison could be heard.
Arriving at the spot on campus where Yu Xiangyang had parked his bicycle, Wen Qiuning said, "Comrade Yu Xiangyang, thank you again. Please drive slowly."
Only after watching Yu Xiangyang's back disappear on his bicycle did Wen Qiuning return to the dormitory.
It was almost dawn when we returned to the Song family.
Yu Xiangyang was worried that everyone was asleep and didn't want to wake them up. Fortunately, the lights in the living room on the first floor were still on.
He knocked on the door gently and it opened quickly.
Cheng Jingmo stood at the door, "Where have you been? You're back so late."
After Yu Xiangyang entered the room, he glanced at the living room and saw that only Cheng Jingmo was there.
"Go out for a walk," he said.
Cheng Jingmo didn't believe Yu Xiangyang's words, "What happened to you? Do you need my help?"
Yu Xiangyang replied: "No need. Today I just followed Lei Feng's example and helped someone. I wasted some time, but the problem was solved."
Cheng Jingmo didn't ask any more questions. "I'm going to bed. Don't forget to turn off the lights."
Today is Thursday, and there are still three days until Cheng Jingmo and his friends return to South City.
Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo were reluctant to leave each other, so every day after dinner, they would go out for a walk and stick together.
Yu Xiangyang had dinner and went out.
I still came to Kyoto University to confirm whether the old man’s words were trustworthy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the school gate, I saw Wen Qiuning sitting on a bench beside the road, his eyes fixed on the school gate, as if waiting for someone.
She stood up the moment she saw Yu Xiangyang, her face still expressionless, but her eyes were always on him.
Yu Xiangyang rode up to her and stopped. "Did that man cause you any trouble today?"
"No." Wen Qiuning said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
They both fell silent.
After a moment, Yu Xiangyang said, "I'm glad I didn't come to see you. I'm going back now."
"Comrade Yu Xiangyang!" Wen Qiuning called out to Yu Xiangyang, who had just turned around, "Wait a moment!"
She took out two red apples from her schoolbag and handed them over. "Thank you so much. These two apples are a little gift from me. Please accept them."
These days, she has been thinking about how she should thank Yu Xiangyang.
Today, she took the afternoon off, went to the store, and bought these two apples.
It was her first time giving something to someone, and she really didn't know what to give.
Remembering the last time Yu Xiangyang ate an apple outside the dormitory building, she thought Yu Xiangyang must like apples, so she bought him some.
If you buy something else, you will think of the other person when you see them in the future, but buying an Apple will not make you think of the other person.
I forgot about it after I finished eating, just like the relationship between the two of them, they will never have any intersection again.
To others, two apples are nothing, but to her, buying two apples is a high consumption.
There is only her mother at home, and it is difficult for her to provide for her own food and clothing, let alone give her living expenses.
This money was saved bit by bit during her years as an educated youth. Half a year ago, she spent some of it to prepare for the college entrance examination, and there was not much left.
Yu Xiangyang looked at the two apples that were almost as big as his fists and said, "I don't want them. Keep them for yourself."
Wen Qiuning held the two apples stubbornly and said, "This is the only way I can express my gratitude. Please accept them."
Yu Xiangyang frowned and said, "I really don't want it! I'm helping you voluntarily, I'm not trying to get anything from you!"
"I know, so I should thank you even more."
Both of them were very stubborn. One insisted on giving it, while the other refused to take it. They were stuck in a stalemate.
After a while, Wen Qiuning said calmly, "My current ability can only give you apples. Just like now, I can only compromise with him. When I become stronger, I will settle all those things with him one by one and send him to prison with my own hands!"
It's obvious who he is.
Yu Xiangyang felt depressed when he heard her words.
Finally, he reached out and took the two apples from her hand, "Then I'll take them."
Wen Qiuning curled the corners of his lips, "Thank you, goodbye."
Yu Xiangyang had seen Wen Qiuning many times, but this was the first time he saw her smile.
The smile was very shallow and faint, with bitterness and sadness.
Yu Xiangyang returned to the Song family.
I don’t know where Lin Ye found a bicycle from, but he is teaching Xiaojie how to ride one.
Yu Xiangyang gave the apple to both of them.
