Ding ling ling!
The dismissal bell rang.
Accompanied by it, came the joyful clamor of the children.
Lin Fan, with his hands resting on his knees, had been sitting quietly on the chair, not daring to touch anything.
Jiangdu Xue's dormitory was clean, tidy, elegant, and warm.
Lin Fan felt that he would mess it up with a single movement.
He had been living in the clinic lately, and every time Song Yue cleaned, she would nag, "You live like you're in a pigsty, don't you find it dirty!"
Even when Xia Xue had free time and cleaned for him, she would also murmur, "Little Fan, you can really live like this, a dog kennel is better than your place!"
In his opinion, as long as it was livable and comfortable to sleep, that was enough.
Cleaning every day was too tiring!
Just as he was lost in thought, footsteps were heard from outside.
Jiangdu Xue, holding her lesson plans, returned directly to the dormitory without going to the office.
She pushed open the door and saw pork ribs and pork belly placed in the corner by the door, smiling, "You still know to put them by the door."
"I was afraid of dirtying your dormitory, you cleaned it so well."
Lin Fan stood up and pushed the chair back.
He took out the money and handed it to Jiangdu Xue, saying, "Take this and tell the old principal that it's a donation from our Luofeng Village committee."
"Why?" Jiangdu Xue took the money, "Are you afraid of revealing your wealth?"
She didn't stand on ceremony with Lin Fan at all.
Ever since she witnessed Lin Fan leap out of Cao family's place, like a hero of ancient times, she knew Lin Fan was no ordinary person.
And such people usually weren't short of money.
"I, I mainly don't seek that kind of fame."
"Besides, our village cannot go back on its word, consider it a small contribution I made to the collective."
After Lin Fan finished speaking, Jiangdu Xue smiled, "Why are you standing, sit down."
Jiangdu Xue's mood naturally improved as soon as she saw Lin Fan.
She placed her lesson plans on the desk, then took out two big red apples from the cabinet and asked, "Do you want an apple?"
Lin Fan waved his hand and replied, "No thanks."
"Let me wash it for you."
Jiangdu Xue felt it was a redundant question, so she went straight to the door, turned on the tap, and started washing the apples.
After washing the apples, she picked out a big red one and handed it to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan did not refuse this time.
He took the apple and started eating it with a "crunch crunch" sound.
The "crunch crunch" sound was very clear in the quiet dormitory.
Jiangdu Xue sat on the bed, eating an apple and smiling sweetly at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan thought to himself that it was probably time, so he reminded her, "It's not good for you to eat cold things now..."
Jiangdu Xue was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "You're so annoying, you only think about... bullying me!"
Lin Fan repeatedly shook his head, "I'm worried about you."
Seeing Lin Fan's nervous expression, Jiangdu Xue felt a warmth and tenderness rise in her heart.
Such an honest person, who wouldn't even know how to give flowers, what bad intentions could he have?
"Not now, it's daytime, and I still have to..."
As Jiangdu Xue said this, Lin Fan blurted out, "Then shall I come over tonight?"
"Don't!" Jiangdu Xue bit her lower lip, "I'll go to your clinic instead."
She put on a fierce look and added, "I'm telling you, you behave yourself."
"After the treatment is over, I'll return to school immediately."
Lin Fan nodded, thinking, "This is just deceiving oneself."
"Don't you know how I treat you?"
Behave? How to behave?
"You're clearly not sincere."
Jiangdu Xue stood up, stretched out a slender jade hand, and pinched Lin Fan's arm hard.
"Hiss~"
Lin Fan gasped, feeling the pain keenly.
Seeing this, Jiangdu Xue immediately reduced most of her strength, for fear of actually hurting him. xxs one
He smiled and said, "I'll pick you up then. It's not safe for you to walk alone at night."
"Okay, you can come around six o'clock. I'll wait for you in the dormitory after I eat."
Jiangdu Xue glanced at the pork belly and ribs placed in the corner, then said, "You can take these things back. I don't usually eat meat."
"You keep them..."
"Oh, take them back. Buy something I like next time."
"Alright then."
Lin Fan spread his hands.
He felt that he might be too greedy.
Jiangdu Xue, such a good girl, dedicated to the children.
Was it a bit too much for him to do this?
But...
They were indeed fated!
Only he in the whole world could cure Jiangdu Xue's illness.
And every time, there was only one method of treatment.
Forget it, it's all destiny!
Since heaven wanted him to be a bad person, what else could he do?
On the way back, he kept thinking about these things.
As he thought, he finally suppressed the conflict in his heart.
"Sister-in-law, you are... Village chief, why are you here?"
As soon as Lin Fan entered the house, he saw his sister-in-law chatting with Wu Lei.
"Little Fan, you're back. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Wu Lei grumbled.
Lin Fan placed the pork belly and ribs on the table, then looked at Wu Lei and asked, "Is there something at the village committee?"
"Secretary Tian asked you to attend a meeting."
Wu Lei stood up, patted Lin Fan's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Little Fan, you're a big celebrity now. Without you, our village committee can't even hold a meeting."
Although his face was smiling, Wu Lei's tone was full of envy and jealousy.
Tian Mengyao showed great favor to Lin Fan, who usually didn't show up, while she didn't think much of Wu Lei, the village chief who had been working hard.
"Village chief, please don't say that."
Xia Xue chimed in, helping Lin Fan out of the awkward situation.
"Oh really?"
Lin Fan felt a surge of anger.
If Wu Lei had spoken in a friendly tone, he wouldn't have minded, but since Wu Lei insisted on speaking sarcastically, he couldn't be blamed for being impolite.
He plopped down in a chair and sneered, "Then go back and tell Secretary Tian that I just got home and haven't eaten yet, so she can wait."
After saying that, he put on an attitude of not wanting to deal with anyone.
"Okay!"
Wu Lei replied, his tone containing not only anger but also a hint of smugness.
As he walked out, he thought, "Finally, I've found an opportunity!"
"If you have the guts, keep sitting there!"
Seeing this, Xia Xue immediately chased after him, "Village chief, don't go, Little Fan didn't mean it like that!"
As a woman, she was too weak to stop Wu Lei.
This infuriated her, "Little Fan, how could you be like this?"
"Sister-in-law, it's alright, we'll just wait for Secretary Tian to come."
"You really are..."
Xia Xue was so angry that she punched Lin Fan hard in the back, "When Secretary Tian comes later, you'd better apologize properly, do you hear me?"
Lin Fan perfunctorily nodded without saying anything.
"I asked if you heard me?"
Xia Xue got angry and grabbed Lin Fan's ear.
"Hey, no, no, sister-in-law, I heard you."
Lin Fan, in pain, immediately conceded, "Apologize to the village party secretary, right? Simple."
"I will definitely apologize properly, but please let go first."
Xia Xue let go and snorted, "Why stir up trouble when everything was fine? The common people don't fight with officials, don't you even understand this?"
Lin Fan chuckled, thinking, "That little girl Tian Mengyao, what kind of official is she!"
"Besides Wu Lei, this official-obsessed guy who follows her orders, who in Luofeng Village, from top to bottom, takes her seriously?"
"If she wants to rally everyone, she can't do it without me!"
