Song Shuangshuang and a few others were cleaning up the backyard at home, when a blackmail drama was taking place in the backyard of the Youth League Institute.

"Bai Lingling, what did you say?!" Li Qinglai couldn't believe his ears.

What do you mean she knew about what happened between him and Liu Zhang?

"What? It's only been a few days, and you don't remember? I remember that you and Liu Zhang didn't go to see the movie that day when the movie was shown in the village. Do I need to tell you what you two did secretly and what you said in the Youth League Home?"

Bai Lingling sneaked over while Li Qinglai was taking care of the vegetable garden and used what she heard that day to threaten Li Qinglai.

Li Qinglai's face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes became flustered.

But he still pretended to be calm and said that he didn't understand what Bai Lingling was saying.

In fact, he already understood in his heart that the sound of the broom falling to the ground that he and Liu Zhang heard that night was not caused by the wind, but by Bai Lingling.

But he and Liu Zhang checked twice that day and didn't see Bai Lingling.

Recalling that night when the other educated youth came back, although he and Liu Zhang asked if they had all returned, they did not look carefully to see if Bai Lingling was among them.

Li Qinglai tightly grasped the water scoop in his hand, hating himself for not observing carefully that day.

Although he didn't know what Bai Lingling's purpose was in telling him this, she was not a good person. He had to stick to his guns and not admit it, otherwise both he and Liu Zhang would be finished.

Maybe Bai Lingling didn't hear anything and was just trying to trick him.

There is another purpose.

Yes, that must be it! She must know nothing.

Seeing that Li Qinglai refused to admit it, Bai Lingling snorted coldly and said,

"You still don't admit it? I heard it clearly that night. I didn't expect that you and Liu Zhang have a special relationship, Li Zhiqing~"

"We are high school classmates, so we have a special relationship. Do you have anything else to say? If you don't have anything, then don't get in the way of my work."

Li Qinglai then used a ladle to scoop water and water the ground.

He couldn't leave now. If he threw his things and left, wouldn't Bai Lingling think he was angry and embarrassed, and indirectly admitted what happened between him and Liu Zhang?

Bai Lingling watched Li Qinglai watering the plants and was not in a hurry to tell him what she heard that day.

This time she learned her lesson. She tried to scare them first, and then brought up the matter when their psychological defenses were about to collapse.

Then she can do whatever she wants, right?

Li Qinglai thought Bai Lingling would be tactful enough to leave, but she didn't leave until he had used up all the water in the bucket and was ready to leave, and then Bai Lingling followed him and left.

Li Qinglai frowned, wanting Bai Lingling to stay away from him, but he was afraid that if he turned around to talk to her, Bai Lingling would bring up what happened just now again.

So he could only pretend that Bai Lingling behind him didn't exist. He put the bucket and ladle back in the front yard and prepared to go back to the dormitory.

He was not in the mood to water the land, but it didn't matter if he watered the vegetables in the small vegetable garden less.

He has to talk to Liu Zhang about this.

But he was almost at the door of the boys' dormitory and Bai Lingling hadn't returned yet.

Li Qinglai wanted to ask Bai Lingling what she was trying to do, but before he could open his mouth, the door of the boys' dormitory opened and Liu Zhang walked out.

"Done? I was thinking of helping you."

There was nothing wrong with this, as they used to work in the vegetable garden together. But today the situation was different, as Bai Lingling was following them.

Li Qinglai's face changed.

Liu Zhang also noticed that Li Qinglai's expression was not right. He wanted to ask him a question, but then he noticed that Bai Lingling behind them was staring at them.

Liu Zhang suddenly felt something was wrong and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Well, it's done. Let's go inside first."

Li Qinglai was glad that Liu Zhang did not ask, and was also glad that his back was facing Bai Lingling.

Only after the two entered the house did Bai Lingling turn around and go back to the girls' dormitory.

Just wait, sooner or later they will be unable to hold back and come looking for me.

By then, she will have the money for her brother's betrothal gift, and her mother will not keep asking her for money.

Who knows, maybe she won’t have to live such a tight life in the future, and she can go to state-owned restaurants to eat every time she goes to the city like Song Shuangshuang and Tan Anjing.

Bai Lingling walked into the dormitory humming a song, while Fan Lanfang and Lu Xiaotao both looked confused.

Doesn't this sister usually have a sullen face, as if someone owes her a lot of money? Why did she change her personality today? She even sang a song?

Fan Lanfang shook her head at Lu Xiaotao.

Leave her alone.

Lu Xiaotao also knew that she would not care about Bai Lingling. The three of them usually didn't even talk to each other, so she could do whatever she wanted as long as she didn't do anything bad to them.

As for the male educated youth, Liu Zhang asked Li Qinglai what was wrong after entering the room and whether he was tired today.

Li Qinglai's face had not recovered yet. Seeing that there were other people in the room, he shook his head at Liu Zhang and said that he was fine.

"I'll tell you later."

Liu Zhang nodded in understanding.

After more than an hour, the two went out together while washing up.

Li Qinglai confirmed that there was no one nearby and whispered to Liu Zhang what had just happened.

"What should I do? Bai Lingling heard our conversation that day. It's all my fault. I didn't notice that she wasn't with anyone else that day."

"You can't be blamed for this. I didn't find her that day either."

Liu Zhang had a gloomy face, wondering where the mistake had gone that day.

"What else did she say just now?" Since Bai Lingling brought up this matter, it meant that she had a purpose.

Li Qinglai shook his head and said, "She only mentioned that she heard our conversation and said that we had a special relationship. Then she didn't say anything and just followed me.

It felt like she was waiting for me to admit it.”

He finally reacted now.

"You didn't admit it?" Liu Zhang withdrew his gaze from the female educated youth dormitory and turned to look at Li Qinglai.

"How is it possible!!" How could he admit this? He is not crazy.

Seeing that Li Qinglai didn't say anything, Liu Zhang was relieved and told him

"We didn't say anything else that day except for those two outrageous words. Bai Lingling might not have heard it. She might have used it as an excuse to threaten us and ask us for money.

As long as we don't admit what she said, the villagers won't believe it.

We should both be careful and not let anyone notice anything."

When they first arrived, they heard about Bai Lingling from other people in the village, and Bai Lingling had stolen other people's food several times.

It's hard not to doubt her purpose.

Li Qinglai thought so too.

"No matter what she says, you can't admit it. Do you hear me?" Liu Zhang warned again, worried.

"I know, but if she comes looking for you, you must control your temper and don't do anything."

After telling Liu Zhang about this, he was no longer afraid that Bai Lingling would look for him again.

But he was worried that Bai Lingling would go to find Liu Zhang. After all, Liu Zhang's temper and personality... sometimes he couldn't stop him.
