"From now on, when picking up and dropping off the kids at school, you must keep a close eye on them; otherwise, accidents can happen at any ti."
"I’ll ntion it to my family when I get off work today," Wu Yue nodded, then asked, "Are the kids feeling any better now?"
Kang Li: "Much better, they all went to school normally today."
"That’s good to hear."
Relieved, Wu Yue was about to say sothing else when her expression changed, her lips moved slightly, but she hesitated to speak.
"If you have sothing to say, say it. Being hesitant isn’t like you."
Kang Li watched Wu Yue struggle and stop short of speaking, finding it sowhat amusing.
"Then I’ll just say it, but I hope you can help out a bit after you hear what I have to say."
Wu Yue slapped her own face and said, "I haven’t even said it yet, and I already feel a bit shaless!"
Seeing this, Kang Li’s eyes were mocking: "In that case, maybe you shouldn’t say it after all!"
"No, I can’t. If I don’t ask for your help, my eldest uncle may end up sending a white-haired person for a black-haired one."
Wu Yue looked incredibly serious as she said, "While you were abroad, Dandan’s Cultural Work Troupe went to a county town to perform..."
As Wu Yue spoke, Kang Li’s expression beca involuntarily shocked.
"What do you think I should do? I know Yangyang was being a hero when he chased away the villain who was about to assault my cousin, but... but Lin Dan’s state at the ti... Yangyang witnessed the whole thing, and he even took off his shirt to cover my cousin,
Although...although nobody else knows about the incident except for the perpetrator, Lin Dan herself, and Yangyang, Lin Dan can’t get over the hurdle in her heart, feeling that she... Anyway, the foolish girl has been on a hunger strike lately, wanting to die, shutting herself in her room every day, crying quietly."
Kang Li: "Didn’t they catch the man?"
Wu Yue shook her head: "It was dark at the ti, and the villain ran away when he heard footsteps approaching."
Kang Li: "Why didn’t your cousin go to the bathroom with soone?"
Wu Yue: "There was a performance going on. Those who were not on stage were doing their makeup. Maybe Lin Dan drank too much water that day, or maybe it was nerves, but she and several other won from the troupe had already gone to the bathroom before the performance. Who would’ve thought she’d need to go again so soon after returning backstage? When she asked the other won, they didn’t feel the need, so she had to go by herself..."
Kang Li furrowed her brows slightly: "No matter how poor the county theater’s facilities were, wasn’t there lighting on the way to the bathroom?"
Wu Yue: "There was, but the light was very dim."
With her eyelids lowered, Kang Li was silent for a while, then looked up at Wu Yue, "Are you hoping I can persuade Yangyang to accept Lin Dan?"
"I...I know feelings can’t be forced, and I know that making such a request to you may seem like repaying kindness with malice, but it truly distresses to see my eldest uncle and aunt aging so much in just a short ti over Lin Dan’s situation," Wu Yue said with sorrow in her eyes.
"Look, is this okay? Have Yangyang pretend to be in a relationship with Lin Dan for now. Once her emotional state improves and she stops thinking about..."
"Enough, I understand what you an, but I can’t agree to it."
Kang Li shook her head in refusal, saying, "Feelings can’t accommodate deception. To add to that, if Yangyang did as you say and pretended to be in a relationship with your cousin, what happens when he ets soone he truly likes and he has to explain the situation to your cousin? The hurt she would feel then would only be greater."
