MTLNOVEL Chapter 82: Worries
The next day at the office, Gu Lingling was still thinking about Zhao Si'en.
Only eleven or twelve years old, just a child, how could that scum Guo Damao lay his hands on her?
But she only dreamed of a small woodshed, with no clue about its exact location.
"What are you thinking about? If you don't want to learn, you don't have to."
Facing Gu Lingling, who had made multiple mistakes and been distracted several times, Yang Yunhai said sternly, "Take a break first."
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
Not giving Gu Lingling a chance to explain at all.
"What's wrong?" Liu Yating walked over and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Gu Lingling shook her head.
She glanced in the direction where Yang Yunhai left, hesitated with pursed lips, and then followed him.
What if Yang Yunhai got angry and decided not to teach her anymore?
"Brother Yang, wait a minute." Hearing Gu Lingling calling, Yang Yunhai stopped and just looked at her calmly.
Gu Lingling ran over, her face flushed red, her almond-shaped eyes were a bit conflicted, and she was a bit scared.
"If you haven't thought it through, you don't have to say anything." Yang Yunhai said.
From the first glance today, he actually noticed that Gu Lingling had something on her mind.
"I... actually, a young educated youth came to my village." Gu Lingling lowered her head and stood in front of Yang Yunhai like a child who made a mistake.
Her soft demeanor made people want to pat her head.
Since she had already started, Gu Lingling had no reservations and poured out all her worries, "Zhao Si'en, that child looks at most twelve years old, and she was assigned here. I was distracted because I'm worried about her getting into trouble."
Yang Yunhai restrained his impulse to pat her head but frowned as he listened further. If he didn't hear it wrong, was she called Zhao Si'en? Could she be from that Zhao Family?
"But the fact that you can remind her shows your kindness. As for the future, worrying too much is useless; what happens depends on her." Yang Yunhai touched his nose and said, "But you can't use that as an excuse to get distracted. Go back and practice all the moves ten times today. I'll check later."
Gu Lingling stuck out her tongue, was that a reconciliation?
She didn't see the fleeting worry on Yang Yunhai's face, nor did she know that because of the name she mentioned, Yang Yunhai went to the ruined temple in Nanshui Village that night.
"I also wanted to talk to you about this matter." Old Man Qian sighed and said, "I caught a glimpse from afar the other day, it should be that little girl from the Zhao Family."
Back then, she used to sit on his lap and call him grandpa, but now he didn't even dare to greet her; he could only watch from afar as such a small child carried a large bamboo basket full of grass.
It was almost overwhelming her.
"The little girl from the Gu Family is kind-hearted, a good one." Hearing Yang Yunhai's words, Old Man Qian sighed again.
Back then, their comrades who faced life and death together ended up with the same fate as him, and Old Man Qian's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
The fortunate thing is that he could come here, with this young man secretly taking care of him.
But as for the Zhao Family... he didn't know if they would be as lucky as he was.
Yang Yunhai glanced at Old Man Qian, didn't say anything, but had made up his mind to quietly return to the Capital City when things were less busy in the coming days.
"Don't worry, everything will turn out fine." Afraid that Old Man Qian would have dark thoughts like those people, Yang Yunhai, who rarely talked much, couldn't help but add.
"Haha, what could an old man like me brood over? I live quite comfortably here." Old Man Qian's smile was genuine.
Though he sometimes bickered with Old Man Zhou, there wasn't much scheming or intrigue, it was comfortable.
"But you, be careful."
