The Bravest

The story of Gangcun's "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" is still going on, and those who know the story are already prepared, waiting for Gangcun's final moment.

After Lin Jie fled from the Sakura Pavilion again, he went to work at the police station on time every day. All members of the inspection team were on duty and no leave was allowed.

"Brother, someone is looking for you at the police station." Liu Sheng leaned close to Lin Jie's ear mysteriously and whispered to Lin Jie that someone was looking for him.

"Who is this? He's so mysterious." Lin Jie stared at the report in his hand and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"The guard called and said there's a girl named Liu. Brother, why don't you go and take a look?"

"The girl with the surname Liu?" Lin Jie couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

"Brother, the new sister-in-law's surname is Liu." Liu Sheng reminded Lin Jie that there was such a person.

"Oh, Liu Ruyan, don't talk nonsense, go and bring her in. Remember not to shout nonsense, a girl's reputation is very important."

When Liu Sheng reminded Lin Jie that a girl named Liu was looking for him at the police station gate, Liu Ruyan was waiting anxiously at the police station gate.

As a college student, she naturally had no good feelings towards the pseudo-government police station, but she couldn't care less now. She told the guard at the gate that she was looking for Lin Jie, but she couldn't explain her relationship with Lin Jie.

Finally, the guard thought she was pretty and suspected she was Lin Jie's mistress, so he helped him call Liu Sheng outside Lin Jie's office and informed Liu Sheng that there was a girl named Liu who was looking for Lin Jie at the door.

"Miss Liu, are you looking for Director Lin?" Liu Sheng trotted all the way from the yard of the Inspection Brigade to the gate of the branch.

"Liu Sheng, is Dean Lin here? I have something to talk to him about." Liu Ruyan looked haggard and had empty eyes. No one knew what she had been through in less than ten days.

"Ms. Liu, there is no dean here, only Deputy Director Lin." Liu Sheng seriously corrected Liu Ruyan's statement.

"Oh, is Deputy Director Lin here? Can I go in to see him?" Liu Sheng's attitude was beyond Liu Ruyan's expectations, but she couldn't care less now.

"I'm here. Come with me and give me the luggage." Liu Sheng saw Liu Ruyan carrying a big box, so he took it and led Liu Ruyan to the yard of the inspection team.

······

"Miss Liu, please sit down." Lin Jie waited for Liu Sheng to close the door outside before inviting Liu Ruyan to sit on the sofa and making her some tea.

"Thank you." Liu Ruyan's face turned red from the moment she saw Lin Jie. She didn't know if it was because she had gone back or because she remembered the absurdity of that night.

"Haha, Ruyan, be more casual." Lin Jie could see that she was feeling restrained and uneasy, so he called her back to her original name. Sure enough, when Liu Ruyan heard Lin Jie call her Ruyan, she felt much more relaxed.

"Dean Lin, does what you said still count?" The courage that Liu Ruyan mustered when she came here disappeared without a trace in front of Lin Jie.

"Well, whatever you said, if it was something I said, it would count. If you have something to say, just say it directly." Lin Jie sat down opposite her casually.

"It's what you said, about arranging a job for me." Liu Ruyan lowered her head.

"Aren't you going back to study? Did something happen?" In fact, when Liu Ruyan came in, Lin Jie saw her miserable look and wanted to ask her.

Liu Ruyan looked up at Lin Jie, the man who had had physical contact with her, who had saved her from suffering, and then she chose to leave him. Now she had the audacity to come back to him, and he still cared about her.

Thinking about what she had gone through in the past few days, Liu Ruyan could no longer hold back and wanted to pour out her grievances to him: "Dean Lin..."

Liu Ruyan threw herself into Lin Jie's arms and burst into tears, as if this would make Lin Jie understand her pain. Lin Jie knew that what Gangcun said was right, and people's hearts would make Liu Ruyan come back.

"Don't cry, what happened? Tell me slowly. I'm here, don't be afraid!"

Lin Jie caressed the girl in his arms. Her crying reminded him of that night when Liu Ruyan, in order to seize the opportunity to leave Sakura Pavilion, begged him in tears and tried hard to merge into his body.

"Woo woo, Dean, my classmates and the people around me all say that I am a traitor and that I was released because I slept with the Japanese. Dean Lin, I did not slept with the Japanese, I did not!" Liu Ruyan did not understand and was afraid that Lin Jie would not believe it, so she emphasized it again.

"Well, I know, they wronged you." No one knew this better than Lin Jie.

"They even called me a bitch and a slut right in front of me. The words were so ugly. No one helped me. My former friends and teachers all avoided me. Dean Lin, I want to die, but I don't dare. Woo woo, I have nowhere to go..."

"It's all in the past. We should look forward." Lin Jie patted Liu Ruyan's back gently to comfort her.

"Dean Lin,... I'm so sleepy and have nightmares every day... I'm so hungry. When I went to the cafeteria to eat, they spit in my food. I had to run a long way to eat... The quilt was wet... They said I wet the bed... I didn't..."

Liu Ruyan recounted her experiences incoherently.

"It's okay, no one will bully you here."

"I argued with them and they pulled my hair. It hurt so much... wuwu... I don't want to live anymore..."

·····

Liu Ruyan lay in Lin Jie's arms, her crying voice gradually became softer, and then she fell asleep. Lin Jie sat on the sofa, gently stroking this girl who had experienced so much suffering, feeling deeply moved.

Lin Jie was afraid of waking Liu Ruyan up, so he let her lie down like this. He waited until she fell into a deep sleep before carrying her to the back of the office.

Lin Jie gently placed Liu Ruyan on the bed, wanting her to have a good sleep.

……

When Liu Ruyan woke up, the sun had already set. She sat up and looked at the unfamiliar environment with fear in her eyes.

Liu Ruyan curled up in the quilt for a while before she remembered that she had come to see Lin Jie. She cried in his arms and then fell asleep.

She got up, pushed the door open carefully, and was relieved to see Lin Jie was still in the office.

Liu Ruyan wanted to walk to Lin Jie, but just as she took a step, her feet went soft and she fell to the ground with a scream.

"what!"

Lin Jie heard a voice behind him and turned around to see Liu Ruyan lying on the ground, looking at him weakly.

"What's the matter? Oh, you must be hungry! Get up first!"

Lin Jie wanted to pull her up, but found that she was limp and had no strength at all, so he had to bend down, pick her up, and walk to the sofa to put her down.

"Drink some water first. Liu Sheng has gone to the cafeteria to get food. He will be back soon."

Lin Jie poured her a cup of hot water. Liu Ruyan took it and drank it in big gulps. Her pale face looked a little better.

"President Lin, I..." Liu Ruyan was about to say something, but she didn't know what to say. Should she ask Lin Jie to arrange a job for her? Or should she be his lover?

"Well, don't worry, let's talk about it after dinner."

Lin Jie didn't know what she was thinking, so he hadn't thought about how to accommodate her. If Liu Ruyan hadn't been here, he would have gone home after get off work.

"Hmm..." Liu Ruyan lowered her head and said nothing more. The two of them remained silent.
