Chapter 534: 10,000 Points of Damage (Additional Release)

"Baobao, what are you up to?" Zhao Si’en was startled.

Lately, she’s been under a lot of pressure; how could she not hear the rumors in the village?

The other educated youths who came with her have all returned to the city; she’s the only one left without any news, and it’s impossible to say she isn’t anxious.

But Sister Lingling also said that no news is good news. What she needs to do now is remain calm, carry on as usual, and not let others see her as a joke.

She didn’t expect Wang Lanhua to have such plans, stopping her and insisting she marry Ge Ergou.

What a joke.

Does she not know what Ge Ergou is? Even if Zhao Si’en has fallen on hard times, she wouldn’t marry that kind of rogue scoundrel.

She thought she had refused clearly enough, but she didn’t expect they would try to force it!

"Come with me." Yao Jingsong pulled her to a quiet place and said, "I won’t look down on you; I’ll be your family from now on."

What does that mean?

Zhao Si’en was stunned right there.

"I’ve heard all those rumors." Yao Jingsong said, blushing, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here for you."

He didn’t know when it began, but he started to feel differently about this big-eyed girl, maybe since he first knew her and was upset that Gu Lingling treated her better than him.

Or perhaps it was the time he saw her hiding alone, secretly crying?

Anyway, this little girl somehow quietly walked into his heart.

So, Yao Jingsong, who rarely returned to Nanshui Village, went back with Gu Lingling and even asked his little brothers in the village to keep an eye on her.

If there was any bad news, they were to inform him immediately.

So he came.

Upon hearing the rumors in the village from his friends, Yao Jingsong deeply regretted not being by her side from the start.

"What... what are you talking about?" Zhao Si’en blinked her big eyes, looking at the boy in front of her, "I received a letter!"

She waved the letter in her hand at the boy with a sweet smile, "My family wrote me a letter."

"Why did it come so late?" Yao Jingsong asked with a frown.

Especially at this time.

He couldn’t help feeling a bit deflated; the courage he finally summoned was somewhat dampened by this confession interruption.

"They sent it to the wrong address; I was originally supposed to go somewhere else, but I ended up here by mistake," Zhao Si’en said with a smile.

It traveled through many places before it finally reached her.

"I should actually thank the person who messed it up, or I wouldn’t have met Sister Lingling."

Alright, Yao Jingsong took a symbolic ten-thousand-point damage.

Jealousy.

Why is it that she only remembers his sister among the twins? He couldn’t even enjoy the metaphorical vinegar.

Looking at the girl’s happy face, Yao Jingsong swallowed his words and couldn’t help ruffling her hair in front of her forehead, smiling as he said, "Congratulations, Zhao Si’en."

"Thank you." Zhao Si’en replied with a beaming smile, "My grandpa said he’ll be bringing me back soon."

Yao Jingsong, "..."

Another ten-thousand-point damage.

"But I will never forget you all." Zhao Si’en continued, "I won’t forget anything from here."

Yao Jingsong wanted to ask: What about me? Will you remember me differently from the others?

But thinking about how she’s soon returning to the Capital City, becoming the Zhao family’s little princess again, a sense of inferiority welled up in his heart.

Yao Jingsong gave her a faint smile, "Zhao Si’en, good luck, wherever you go."

Simultaneously, he said to himself: I will work very hard to become the person worthy of you.

Zhao Si’en, wait for me in the Capital City!
