"Yeah, yeah, there's no need to ruin her over a bar of soap."
The other older educated youths glanced at Chen Hong with complicated expressions before going about their own business, leaving only her two good friends still fighting for her.
"Where's my watch? He stole my things and is now crying 'stop thief!' Who wouldn't be afraid to live in a dorm with someone like that?"
"Who would dare to live with a thief? As the old saying goes, it's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you. Who knows which of ours she's set her sights on now?"
They were so arrogant just now, trying to attack because they outnumbered each other, but now they're saying there's no need to pursue it.
In the end, it was Liu Ruo who regretted it. After the watch was found, she was thinking of just letting it go, not wanting to ruin someone's life because of this. Now she regrets not going to the captain.
"I'm sorry, Rong Jun."
Chen Hong turned pale with fright. She wanted to go back to the city and didn't want to stay in this place for the rest of her life.
The two former educated youth looked at Bai Rongjun together, hoping she could forgive Chen Hong and not report her.
"I……"
Bai Rongjun had been sitting in the back, shedding tears, when suddenly things took such a turn—her bar of soap, which had been missing for several days, was found.
"Don't believe them. Your soap disappeared after my watch. She shows no remorse. Who knows if she'll steal again next time?"
"We have to teach her a lesson." Everyone was holding their breath after the fight.
Bai Rongjun didn't know what to do. She didn't want Chen Hong to never be able to return to the city because of this, but if she didn't stand on the side of the new educated youth, would they isolate her even more in the future?
Bai Jiamei glanced at her and knew that Bai Rongjun would definitely not pursue the matter with Chen Hong; she didn't want to get into trouble.
Her younger sister used to be portrayed as a magnanimous, understanding, and innocent girl, but recently she has become like Lin Daiyu. However, no matter what, she is not the kind of "heartless" person.
Sure enough, after silently repeating it to herself for a few seconds, Bai Rongjun hesitated before saying, "How about we leave it like this? It's good that she knows she was wrong."
The anger that Liu Ruo and her companion had just begun to subside surged back up, but they didn't know who to direct it at, while the three people opposite them seemed to have found a way out.
"We'll be living together for several more years, and we're comrades in the same trench, so we should help each other and be united and friendly."
"It was all our fault before. We had some misunderstandings and developed a bad impression of you. From now on, we'll be good sisters."
The two men pulled Bai Rongjun aside and showered her with praise, while Chen Hong's tears stopped flowing.
Bai Jiamei felt utterly bored. She had to work for 8 work points tomorrow. If she had known she had this much free time, she would have preferred to go to sleep.
Bai Rongjun originally wanted to avoid offending either side, but unexpectedly, after making the decision, she was accepted by the old educated youth. The three of them chatted happily with her, and Liu Ru clenched her fists.
"Then what about my watch? She forgave you, but I never said I would forgive you."
"What? Your watch? Who took your watch?"
"Chen Hong only borrowed Rong Jun's soap because of a momentary lapse of judgment. She didn't touch any of your things. Don't throw all the blame on her."
This is truly the art of language, transforming the act of stealing soap into borrowing soap.
Bai Rongjun finally felt like she had integrated into the group. The new educated youth ignored her, but the old educated youth felt like they had known each other for a long time.
"I forgot that I had already lent the soap to Chen Hong. She didn't steal it; I just lent it to her."
"This was all a misunderstanding, and now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, that's good."
These people kept challenging Liu Ruo's worldview. She clenched her fists and stared at them for a long time before finally storming out in anger. The others remained silent and did their own thing in the dormitory. Zhao Hui could only lie down and go to sleep after seeing this.
"Should we go out and look for Liu Ruo? I'm afraid something might have happened to her."
"No, she's not stupid."
After leaving the dormitory, Liu Ruo was immediately brought back to her senses by the cold wind outside. She didn't go far, but just stood outside the courtyard.
She had just graduated from high school this year and had never encountered anything like this in the first ten years of her life. Suddenly, all sorts of grievances welled up inside her, and she stood under the tree wiping away tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
If only Lu Ronghui were here; she had come to regard Lu Ronghui as a friend during her stay.
Standing outside, letting the cold wind dry her tears, she finally wanted to move her feet and go back inside when she suddenly noticed a dark figure quietly slipping into the yard. Liu Ruo looked closely and realized it was Zhou Han.
Where did he go? Why is he only coming back now?
Liu Ruo had never spoken to him before, only knowing that he was Bai Rongjun's boyfriend and that he was exceptionally kind to Bai Rongjun.
The dark figure that had just slipped into the courtyard came out again after a while, and soon Bai Rongjun also came out. The two hugged and talked outside the courtyard.
Liu Ruo looked on with a hint of envy. She wished she had someone to rely on in this unfamiliar place.
Where did you go?
Bai Rongjun had a lot to say to Zhou Han; it seemed she had made new friends here.
"fine"
Zhou Han held her in his arms and saw her smile for the first time in days. He felt a sense of relief. It was good that everything was slowly getting better.
Rong Jun had been like a frightened little rabbit for the past few days, feeling unsafe here. Zhou Han also regretted that he hadn't been able to protect her and let her suffer here.
Fortunately, he has gradually built up his social network. Although he is currently facing some difficulties, Zhou Han believes that as long as he works hard, he will definitely be able to move out with her.
The person Dog Brother introduced didn't trust Zhou Han at all. Almost all of his original people had been taken down by the police. Who knew if this person who suddenly appeared was a police spy?
So no matter what Zhou Han said, the man didn't respond, and he could only return in the dark.
Because the two people were standing at the entrance of the courtyard, Liu Ruo could only stand outside and wait for them to go in first. By the time she returned, everyone else was already lying on the kang (a heated brick bed).
The next day, Liu Ruo woke up to find coal dust in her mouthwash cup. She held the cup, gritted her teeth, and looked around. Chen Hong was combing her hair with a small mirror. When she saw Liu Ruo looking over, she immediately turned away.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Hui had already finished getting ready; it was her turn to make breakfast today, so she got up earlier than the others.
"fine"
Liu Ruo didn't know if it was Chen Hong or two other people who did it. After she finished washing up, she found that the clothes on the kang (a heated brick bed) were all stained with black stains.
"Rong Jun, are you alright? Let's go together."
Bai Rongjun was somewhat flattered. She would never have had the chance to walk hand in hand with her girlfriends before. She quickly ate breakfast and went out with the three of them.
Liu Ruo only had two sets of old clothes to wear when she went to the fields. One set was hanging outside, so she simply wore the dirty set.
But she didn't expect things to escalate so much that when she returned at noon, she found stains on the bedding as well.
"Who did this?"
