Don't cry, baby. I'll punish you tonight.

Insomnia. Lin Qinghuan suffered from insomnia the whole night. His head hurt so much that he couldn’t fall asleep.

At around two in the morning, she got up to paint.

When she is in a bad mood, she likes to draw.

She was completely focused and drew one simple sketch after another. Luo Zhouran's living room was filled with her drawing papers. It was not until after 6 o'clock in the morning that she felt sleepy and fell asleep on Luo Zhouran's sofa.

She hadn’t had a good rest in recent days and slept until after 12 o’clock. When she opened her cell phone, it was flooded with messages!

The parents made dozens of calls.

There are also Yan Xia, Wen Yijing, and the counselor!

What happened?

She quickly opened WeChat on her phone to check the message. It turned out that her parents had come to Peking University and couldn't contact her. She then went to ask the counselor, who learned from the dormitory group that Lin Qinghuan had not returned to the dormitory all night.

She replied to Yan Xia and Jian Yan through messages, but right after she did, the counselor called again.

"Qing Huan, you didn't return to the dormitory last night? Where did you go?"

"I'm sorry, teacher! I..." She stammered, not knowing how to explain?

"Hurry back to school and find me. Your parents are waiting for you in my office."

She rushed back to school without stopping. Her parents and everyone in the dormitory were all in the counselor's office.

"Huanhuan..." The parents hurried over and took Lin Qinghuan's hand, "You scared mom and dad to death. We couldn't find you the whole morning. Mom and dad thought something happened to you."

"Mom and Dad, why are you here?" Lin Qinghuan asked anxiously.

Her parents looked at each other in bewilderment. The two old people had been teachers all their lives, but they were hesitant in front of their daughter.

"Ah...your dad insisted on coming. He said that your tone when you called was not right and that you must be worried about something. So we flew to Beijing early in the morning."

Because her tone of voice was wrong when she called, her parents flew all the way from Fengcheng to see her.

"Qinghuan's parents, let's put this aside for now. I still need to ask Qinghuan something." The counselor said, "Qinghuan, the school does not allow you to stay out overnight without asking for leave. It's very dangerous for a girl like you to be outside. Where did you go last night?"

"I...I..." Lin Qinghuan stammered, not knowing whether to tell Jian Yan about the quarrel. But she was afraid that Jian Yan would be unhappy if she told him.

"Teacher, Qinghuan had a fight with Jianyan last night!" Wen Yijing said.

The counselor looked at Jian Yan.

Jian Yan nodded and said, "She and I had a quarrel, but I didn't ask her not to go back to the dormitory. She left the school with Luo Zhouran last night.

Yan Xia patted Jian Yan, and Wen Yijing also stared at Jian Yan, blaming her for speaking so directly about Lin Qinghuan in front of their elders.

Lin Qinghuan went out with a boy, and everyone knew what this meant.

The counselor glanced at Lin Qinghuan's parents, then set his eyes on Lin Qinghuan: "Qinghuan, how can you stay out all night just because you had a quarrel with your roommate? This is wrong! We are all adults and must be responsible for our own actions. You will definitely be punished for not returning home all night. You will definitely lose the evaluation and various scholarships for this semester, and your comprehensive test score will definitely be deducted. Then you have to write a 2000-word self-review and hand it in to me next week."

Lin Qinghuan nodded and didn't say anything more.

"I don't have anything else to do here. Your parents came all the way here from their hometown, so you should go spend more time with them!"

They thanked the counselor and left the office.

"Qinghuan, have a good time with your parents. We are going back to the dormitory," Wen Yijing said, and then she said to Lin Qinghuan's parents, "Goodbye, uncle and aunt!"

Yan Xia and Jian Yan also smiled politely, "Goodbye, uncle and aunt!"

"Don't go, kids. If you don't mind, uncle and aunt would like to treat you to a meal?" Mother Lin invited warmly, not minding at all that Jian Yan had just pushed Lin Qinghuan into the fire pit.

"No, no," the three of them waved their hands! Yan Xia and Wen Yijing poked Jian Yan as they walked.

Not far away, Jian Yan deliberately raised his voice and emphasized, "I'm not talking nonsense. She was sitting on Luo Zhouran's..."

Wen Yijing quickly covered her mouth, and together with Yan Xia, she quickly dragged her away.

"Dad...Mom...I'm with a boy..."

Mother Lin just held Lin Qinghuan's hand. She was very gentle and comforted her softly, "Huanhuan, you are an adult now. You are free to do whatever you want. If you are willing to share with mom and dad, you can share. If you don't want to, don't force yourself."

Lin's mother saw Lin Qinghuan's embarrassment and said, "But you must protect yourself at all times. This society still has a lot of prejudice against girls."

Lin Qinghuan nodded, hugged her mother, and acted coquettishly.

"But baby, you must not hide things from me and your mother if you can't solve them yourself. You must tell mom and dad. If the sky falls, we will support you." Father Lin added.

Lin Qinghuan felt extremely happy, and her nose felt sore, but she had to hold it back and not cry.

"The girl who just rebuked you is called Jian Yan, right? What went wrong between you two?" asked Lin's mother.

Lin Qinghuan sighed and frowned. This matter was really complicated and confusing. "Mom, it's so complicated. I can't explain it clearly. In short, the boy she likes likes me."

When my daughter really grows up, she will start to face various emotional problems.

"So do you like that boy?"

Lin Qinghuan shook his head.

"Then have you clearly rejected the boy's kindness?"

She nodded.

"Did Jian Yan ask you to help chase that boy?"

She nodded, marveling at how her mother could understand so well.

"But you were still in contact with that boy, and Jian Yan saw you, right? She thought you were insincere and that you did it on purpose. You knew she liked that boy, and you rejected him, but you were still together."

Lin Qinghuan nodded her head like a rattle.

"Then mom asks you, what makes you still have contact with that boy?"

She is a mother who understands her daughter. Lin Qinghuan's character is definitely not the kind of person who is indecisive and lingering.

Lin Qinghuan lowered her eyes, she didn't dare to speak.

Just a glance of hesitation and the parents immediately saw through it.

Father Lin asked, "Huanhuan, are you hiding something from mom and dad? Dad's right eye has been twitching recently, and I'm always worried that you've been bullied outside."

Lin Qinghuan shook his head.

The two parents exchanged glances.

"Can you solve it yourself?" Lin's mother asked.

No.

But telling my parents won't help.

It doesn't serve any purpose other than making them worry about themselves in vain.

She nodded and said "hmm".

"Mom and Dad, what about Jian Yan? How am I going to get along with her?"

"You explained it to Jian Yan, right? You even tried to make it up to her, right?"

Lin Qinghuan nodded again.

"That's enough, my dear daughter! The fault is not yours. You don't need to care whether she accepts it or not. That is her business. You don't need to try to please her deliberately, and you don't need to waste your energy. If we do our best, we will have a clear conscience!"

Lin Qinghuan knew from the beginning that it was not her fault, but she could easily fall into internal friction and felt that she was the cause of this situation.

"Mom, I understand!"

"What delicious food and fun things are there in Beijing? It's not easy for mom and dad to come here, Huanhuan, you have to be a good guide," said Father Lin, ruffling his daughter's long hair.

"No problem!" Lin Qinghuan nodded heavily.
