Chapter 569: Chapter 569 Dust Settles_1
"According to Yu Haizhu’s confession, the reason he wanted to harm Qin Wenjun was that he had been holding a grudge. He thought today presented an opportunity, so he decided to act. There are no other reasons, and I believe he doesn’t have any other reasons either,"
Wang Baichuan lit a cigarette and said calmly between puffs of smoke.
"This man obviously commits more faults than others, yet refuses to acknowledge his own wrongdoings and instead blames everyone else. Even if Qin Wenjun had nothing to do with it, he would find faults in someone else."
"He shifts the severe consequences of his own faults onto others."
Wang Baichuan’s explanation turned Li Qingyun’s thoughts into a dense fog, and it took several turns in his mind for him to barely understand what was being said.
Put simply, it was that Yu Haizhu didn’t admit his own faults, blaming others instead.
"I think the girl has been hit hard tonight. Give her some good advice, we’ll take off now," Wang Baichuan said.
Li Qing nodded, "Okay, take care."
Wang Baichuan snuffed out the half-smoked cigarette with his foot and then escorted Yu Haizhu into the car.
The vehicle with flashing red and blue lights disappeared into the vast night, accompanied by the roar of its engine.
Qin Wenjun stood alone in the spacious courtyard of the village office, looking desolate, with a blank stare fixed on the ground, lost in thought.
Li Qing walked over and said softly, "This has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to blame yourself."
"But they will think so," Qin Wenjun said with a wistful laugh, looking at Li Qing, "You don’t need to console me."
"In your heart, I’m probably not a good woman, right? A vicious and malicious shrew."
"If you can find me a few band-aids right now, then you’re definitely a good woman," Li Qing said.
The wound on his neck where Qin Wenjun had bitten him hurt terribly.
Qin Wenjun glanced at Li Qing’s neck and blushed slightly, then turned and went upstairs.
Li Qing followed behind and continued, "Most people in Sanhe Village are reasonable, so you don’t need to worry about anything. As long as what you’re doing is guilt-free, it’s fine. Although improving the status of women in the family was a mistake, you corrected it in time, and that’s all in the past."
"No matter how well you do something, there will always be people who talk, who have opinions. It’s unavoidable."
"Actually, I understand all that you’re saying. I just want to know if Yu Haizhu’s wife leaving had anything to do with me!" Qin Wenjun opened the office door and sat down, saying softly.
"Whether it’s related or not, you know very well in your heart, don’t you?" Li Qing said with a smile.
"I think it does!" Qin Wenjun opened a drawer and took out a few band-aids, handing them to Li Qing.
"Help me put them on, will you? I can’t see, and I’m completely helpless," Li Qing grumbled with a laugh.
Qin Wenjun paused for a moment, then peeled off a band-aid and applied it to Li Qing’s wound.
Looking at the deep pits of the bite marks and the dried blood, Qin Wenjun bit her lip, "Does it... still hurt?"
"Isn’t that obvious? With such deep pits, if I bit you, you would know whether it hurts or not," Li Qing muttered lowly.
"With this... we’re even. I bit you, and you... you put it in," Qin Wenjun said with a red face, mumbling.
"That little bit doesn’t count as in!" Li Qing raised his head and said, "I didn’t even feel what it feels like, so it can’t count!"
"What more do you want to feel? That was going in, you bastard, do you want to be bitten again?!" Qin Wenjun instantly stood up angrily, "I’ve lost my innocence for this, aren’t you satisfied?"
"I would take responsibility," Li Qing said, "but really, I didn’t feel anything."
"No need!" Qin Wenjun huffed, and slapped the band-aid firmly onto Li Qing’s wound.
"Ouch... be gentle!" Li Qing winced as he sucked in a breath of cold air.
This damn old lady.
Well, if she put it that way, he could accept it.
After all, even if it was just a little bit, it really did separate that place and go in.
Qin Wenjun seemed a bit petulant, but her movements in applying the next two band-aids were quite delicate.
Those neat rows of teeth marks took seven or eight band-aids to barely cover the wound.
"You don’t need to worry about Yu Haizhu’s matter anymore, thinking about it is useless. Otherwise, what can you really do? You’re not planning to hang yourself from that old Apricot Tree again, are you?" Li Qing rubbed his somewhat sore neck.
"It’s still the same saying, as long as what you did sits right in your heart, that’s enough. You’ve already acknowledged your mistake from before, and whatever happens in the future isn’t really connected to that. You should go to bed early and rest easy, I’m heading back now."
"Oh, and if you really want to hang yourself on the branch to the southeast, give me a shout before doing it, since you are prepared to die anyway, let me take a little advantage!"
Qin Wenjun, who had just been slightly moved, had her nice willow-leaf eyebrows shoot up instantly upon hearing Li Qing’s last words.
"Bastard, can’t you say anything nice at all?" she hissed through clenched teeth, "Is that really all you can think about, taking advantage of me?"
"I do!" Li Qing said decisively, "Of course, I’m talking about when you’re ready to hang yourself on the branch to the southeast."
"Since you’re ready to die anyway, we might as well finish what we just started, so you won’t have any regrets, right? I’ve heard that girls as perfect as you suffer down below."
"Shut up!" Qin Wenjun shouted angrily, "Get out, out, out!"
"I’m being serious," Li Qing chuckled mischievously.
"Since that’s what you want, come on now!" Qin Wenjun suddenly yelled out.
"Really?" Li Qing’s eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a sly grin, "Then I won’t be polite, hurry up and strip."
Qin Wenjun, who had only meant to scare him a little with a heated remark, was instantly stunned.
She watched as the corners of Li Qing’s mouth twitched fiercely.
This damn guy really has no shame!
"Get out of here," Qin Wenjun berated furiously, pushing Li Qing out of the room.
Li Qing left the village office, but he didn’t leave right away.
He waited outside until the lights in Qin Wenjun’s room were out before heading home.
The events that they had both encountered that evening were quite magical, making Li Qing feel somewhat dazed.
He was genuinely worried that Qin Wenjun might do something rash.
At home, Han Mei and Wu Xingxing hadn’t gone to bed and were sitting in Li Qing’s room talking.
"What are you still doing awake at this time?" Li Qing was surprised when he walked in and saw the two of them.
It was already past three in the morning.
"I had already gone to bed, but that phone call you made left me feeling restless, and I couldn’t fall asleep," Han Mei said.
"Secretary Qin is all right, isn’t she?"
