âBrother, whatâs wrong with your daughterâs little classmate? She looks beautiful and delicate, but why is she so good at hitting people? She even held a sickle on someoneâs neck. Wonât she be afraid?â
On the way down the mountain, a person walking behind approached Father Zhao and asked softly.
Father Zhao shook his head. âI donât know either. Sheâs probably just young and rash.â
âSigh, itâs all thanks to her this time. She said that Linlinâs other classmate received her call that told them that they were safe, so we didnât panic before we found our way down. You heard what Zhao Qian said too.â
âZhao Qian also said that after they went up the mountain, the four of them split up. He was in the same group as Jinyu and was separated from Linlin. After knowing that Linlin was in trouble, Jinyu quickly rushed over to find her and even helped treat her wound.â
âWhen I went to pick them up yesterday, I heard that Student Jinyu had been learning martial arts casually since she was young. Now, it seems like it should be true. She could actually find someone in the forest alone without injuring herself. She also studied Chinese medicine and can quickly find herbs to help bandage their wounds.â
âBro, Linlin is studying at the Imperial Capital University. Her classmates are also students at the Imperial Capital University, right?â
âOf course. The three girls are Linlinâs roommates.â
âNo wonder. These students who can get into top universities are all capable. Your Linlin will definitely have a lot of connections in the future since she has gotten into such a school.â
âWho can say for sure about something like connections? Whether Linlin succeeds or not depends on her own efforts.â Although he said that, Father Zhao was actually very happy.
He was happy for Zhao Linlin for getting into the Imperial Capital University and happy for Zhao Linlin for making these capable friends.
âBrother, do you think that girl was just scaring Mo Qian, or was she serious? Although you said that she was young and rash, I keep feeling that her move doesnât seem to be fake. Based on my years of experience, that girl must be a ruthless person. Perhaps she really dares to it.â
The person beside him patted his shoulder. âDonât boast here. When did you ever have so many years of experience? You were always carrying bricks at the construction site during the years when you went out to work. If youâre really doing well, are you still working in your farm at home?â
âSpeak properly. Why are you making fun of me!â
âJinyu is indeed young. In addition, she canât bear to see our Linlin suffer, so she is a little angry. Itâs not as complicated as you think. I think they were also quite frightened. Donât say anything anymore so that they wonât be reminded of this terrible incident. Come to my house for a drink tonight, so I can thank you for putting down the work in your hands and accompanying me on this trip.â
âEh, Bro, youâre regarding me as an outsider by saying that. Linlin is also our niece. Fortunately, sheâs fine. Otherwise⦠Anyway, you should tell her to be careful when she goes up the mountain in the future.â
âYes.â He didnât want her to go up the mountain ever again, but that was obviously impossible.
How could Linlin learn Chinese medicine well if she didnât see the herbs for herself?
Linlin probably wouldnât agree not to go up the mountain ever again either.
âHowever, we still have to drink. I will prepare the side dishes to go with drinks, Bro.â

They thought that they were whispering, but Yan Jinyu and Jiang Xianyou, who had good hearing, heard them clearly.
Yan Jinyu was unmoved, as if she didnât hear anything. She held the basket in her hand. She had picked almost all the herbs inside herself. However, she had picked a few rare herbs, so she didnât return empty-handed.
Going down the mountain was always faster than going up the mountain. In addition, they were picking herbs while going up the mountain when they went up the mountain, so they were even slower. Hence, it took them less than an hour to return to Zhao Linlinâs house from the mountain.
Mother Zhao waited at the door anxiously, even though Zhao Qian had already called her to tell her that Zhao Linlin was safe.
âAre you alright, Linlin? Where are you hurt?â
âMom, Iâm fine. Itâs just a light injury. Actually, I can walk myself, but Zhao Qian insisted on carrying me.â
ââ¦â Zhao Qian.
âMom, donât block the door. Get everyone in first. My sisterâs injuries arenât serious. Brother Jiang is more seriously injured because he protected my sister. Call my grandfather to help him take a look.â
âYour grandfather is already waiting.â Mother Zhao looked at Jiang Xianyou, who was on Yang Junâs back, and said gratefully, âLittle You, thank you for saving our Linlin.â
Little Youâ¦
âAuntie, youâre welcome. I didnât stop Schoolmate Zhao from falling either.â
âWhat are you talking about? Under such circumstances, weâre already very grateful that you disregarded your own safety to save Linlin. Furthermore, youâre even protecting Linlin without caring about yourself. Look at you. Youâre so seriously injured. Your clothes are torn and your white shirt is covered in blood. How painful is thatâ¦â
âI didnâtâ¦â
âLetâs go in first and let your Grandpa Zhao take a look for you.â
She called Zhao Qian by his full name, but she called him Little You.
Zhao Qian and Zhao Linlin didnât know what to say.
However, it was normal for them to be so warm to Jiang Xianyou. Not only Father Zhao and Mother Zhao, but Zhao Qian and Zhao Linlin were also very grateful to him.
It wasnât like they were very familiar with each other. They had just met yesterday, but he could risk his life for someone he had just met.
âBrother, to be honest, even I admire you a little. Under such circumstances, how did you do it without any care for yourself? If it were me, I would only talk about it. At that moment, Iâm not as bold as you.â Yang Jun held it in for the entire journey before finally saying that.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLook at you. Youâre not the kind of person who would sacrifice yourself for others selflessly. Whyâ¦â Yang Jun couldnât figure that out.
Jiang Xianyou wasnât the kind of second-generation heir who had nothing to do in the Jiang Family.
On the contrary, he was very smart and outstanding. His personality was very cold.
Usually, such people rarely sacrificed so much for an unfamiliar person.
Anyway, Yang Jun didnât expect Jiang Xianyou to do such a thing before this.
âI didnât think too much about it back then,â Jiang Xianyou said calmly.
It was fine if he didnât answer, but once he did, Yang Jun felt even stranger.
Most of the time, when he spoke to Jiang Xianyou, Jiang Xianyou would only reply him with his gaze and rarely spoke.
Actually, not to mention that Yang Jun couldnât figure it out, even Jiang Xianyou couldnât figure it out himself.
He was indeed not the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others selflessly.
The moment he saw Zhao Linlin in trouble, his body reacted faster than his brain and he rushed out at an unprecedented speed.
What was he thinking when he rushed out?
He didnât seem to think of anything, but his heart skipped a beat and he forgot to breathe.
When he caught her, but couldnât hold her back, he didnât think about anything else except to protect her and roll down with her. In reality, he could clearly let go of her to protect himself.
He frowned slightly.
Since when did he value someone so much?
As he thought about it, he looked at Zhao Linlin, who was still on Zhao Qianâs back. Jiang Xianyouâs gaze suddenly became complicated.
He was not a stupid person. If he thought about it seriously, he would quickly understand what was going on.

âWho bandaged this?â Old Master Zhao was treating Jiang Xianyouâs wounds first.
Father Zhao entertained the burly men who had helped them in the living room as he invited them for tea. Mother Zhao and the others watched as Old Master helped Zhao Linlin and Jiang Xianyou check their wounds.
Only Yan Jinyu went to the washroom to wash up casually and then she changed into a set of clean clothes.
At this moment, she was lying on the bed in her guest room and video calling Yin Jiujin.
