“Brother, what’s wrong with your daughter’s little classmate? She looks beautiful and delicate, but why is she so good at hitting people? She even held a sickle on someone’s neck. Won’t she be afraid?”
On the way down the mountain, a person walking behind approached Father Zhao and asked softly.
Father Zhao shook his head. “I don’t know either. She’s probably just young and rash.”
“Sigh, it’s all thanks to her this time. She said that Linlin’s other classmate received her call that told them that they were safe, so we didn’t panic before we found our way down. You heard what Zhao Qian said too.”
“Zhao 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.”
“When 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.”
“Bro, Linlin is studying at the Imperial Capital University. Her classmates are also students at the Imperial Capital University, right?”
“Of course. The three girls are Linlin’s roommates.”
“No 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.”
“Who can say for sure about something like connections? Whether Linlin succeeds or not depends on her own efforts.” 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.
“Brother, 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 doesn’t seem to be fake. Based on my years of experience, that girl must be a ruthless person. Perhaps she really dares to it.”
The person beside him patted his shoulder. “Don’t 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 you’re really doing well, are you still working in your farm at home?”
“Speak properly. Why are you making fun of me!”
“Jinyu is indeed young. In addition, she can’t bear to see our Linlin suffer, so she is a little angry. It’s not as complicated as you think. I think they were also quite frightened. Don’t say anything anymore so that they won’t 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.”
“Eh, Bro, you’re regarding me as an outsider by saying that. Linlin is also our niece. Fortunately, she’s fine. Otherwise… Anyway, you should tell her to be careful when she goes up the mountain in the future.”
“Yes.” He didn’t want her to go up the mountain ever again, but that was obviously impossible.
How could Linlin learn Chinese medicine well if she didn’t see the herbs for herself?
Linlin probably wouldn’t agree not to go up the mountain ever again either.
“However, we still have to drink. I will prepare the side dishes to go with drinks, Bro.”

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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 Linlin’s 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.
“Are you alright, Linlin? Where are you hurt?”
“Mom, I’m fine. It’s just a light injury. Actually, I can walk myself, but Zhao Qian insisted on carrying me.”
“…” Zhao Qian.
“Mom, don’t block the door. Get everyone in first. My sister’s injuries aren’t serious. Brother Jiang is more seriously injured because he protected my sister. Call my grandfather to help him take a look.”
“Your grandfather is already waiting.” Mother Zhao looked at Jiang Xianyou, who was on Yang Jun’s back, and said gratefully, “Little You, thank you for saving our Linlin.”
Little You…
“Auntie, you’re welcome. I didn’t stop Schoolmate Zhao from falling either.”
“What are you talking about? Under such circumstances, we’re already very grateful that you disregarded your own safety to save Linlin. Furthermore, you’re even protecting Linlin without caring about yourself. Look at you. You’re so seriously injured. Your clothes are torn and your white shirt is covered in blood. How painful is that…”
“I didn’t…”
“Let’s go in first and let your Grandpa Zhao take a look for you.”
She called Zhao Qian by his full name, but she called him Little You.
Zhao Qian and Zhao Linlin didn’t 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 wasn’t 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.
“Brother, 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, I’m not as bold as you.” Yang Jun held it in for the entire journey before finally saying that.
“Look at you. You’re not the kind of person who would sacrifice yourself for others selflessly. Why…” Yang Jun couldn’t figure that out.
Jiang Xianyou wasn’t 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 didn’t expect Jiang Xianyou to do such a thing before this.
“I didn’t think too much about it back then,” Jiang Xianyou said calmly.
It was fine if he didn’t 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 couldn’t figure it out, even Jiang Xianyou couldn’t 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 didn’t seem to think of anything, but his heart skipped a beat and he forgot to breathe.
When he caught her, but couldn’t hold her back, he didn’t 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 Qian’s back. Jiang Xianyou’s gaze suddenly became complicated.
He was not a stupid person. If he thought about it seriously, he would quickly understand what was going on.

“Who bandaged this?” Old Master Zhao was treating Jiang Xianyou’s 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.
