Zhao Guodong stood tensely, wanting to stay but feeling awkward, so he looked at Zhang Linong. Zhang Linong smiled but didn't rush to speak, making Zhao Guodong's eyes widen further.
Ye Ling sat on the heated bed, watching the two and decided to speak up for Zhao Guodong, "You don't need to worry. Back in the rural days, especially when I was young, my grandma always went to the fields with the production team, and I was alone at home. Even when it got dark, I wasn't scared. Now that I'm grown, there's even less to fear."
"What, what, what, can't you change your accent? Look at your sister." Zhao Guodong felt embarrassed being seen through by Ye Ling, randomly shouting about something else to change the topic. But in doing so, he forgot and mentioned Ye Qian, only stopping when he saw Ye Ling's changing expression, "I'm only doing this for your good. Look at the classmates at school, they laugh at you behind your back."
