Taking out the lipstick shell and base, Su Wanwan quickly glanced at the two familiar strings of letters underneath, then calmly returned them to Lan Ying without saying a word throughout the process.

Night gradually fell outside the house. Lan Ying's thoughts were in a mess. The person in front of her seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, and it was difficult to see Su Wanwan's expression, but she stiffly took the lipstick from Su Wanwan's hand.

"Li Meifen has already gone into the house, why are you still fighting?" Wang E put away the wooden board and asked Lan Ying to sit on a tree stump nearby. Although the night was freezing cold, she chose to stay outside instead of going back into the house to avoid conflict.

"Get out of the way, the deputy captain is here!" The voice of a young woman was heard outside the door. Everyone looked towards the gate and saw Feng Xianghe leading two young men into the yard.

Although Feng Xianghe was expressionless as always, Lan Ying's face was full of grievance when she saw him: "You're finally here. If you hadn't come, I would have been..." Tears seemed about to fall.

Noticing Feng Xianghe approaching her, Lan Ying hurriedly held her forehead and stretched out her hands to grab his arms, but it seemed like she was wrong and her hands grabbed nothing.

"Where are you hurt? I just heard that you had an argument." Feng Xianghe looked around since he entered the room, even lingering on Lan Ying's face for a moment, but he was uneasy.

"Dispute? She clearly started to provoke me as soon as she moved into my room! Look, this is what she left when she hit my head. Now everything in front of me is shaking upside down!" Although she was clearly the victim, Lan Ying was full of indignation when she spoke.

"Where is she?"

“Just live in the house!”

As soon as Lan Ying finished speaking, Li Meifen in the room heard noise outside. She realized that Feng Xianghe had arrived, so she hurriedly put on her coat and walked out.

"What happened? Tell me what happened."

After bringing Li Meifen to the yard, Feng Xianghe focused all his attention on her. On the surface, he asked about the cause of the quarrel, but in fact, his concern was all on Li Meifen, and he ignored Lan Ying and the people around him.

"Deputy Captain, I've said it once! She stole things, knocked over my belongings, and beat me! My mind must be in a mess, it's all her fault! Everyone at the scene can testify!" Lan Ying stated emotionally.

Faced with the huge difference in Feng Xianghe's attitude towards her and Li Meifen, as well as the headache and deep grievance that followed, Lan Ying was extremely angry and suddenly stood up from the ground.

"This village must do justice for me. I cannot be bullied for no reason by such a shameless and undisciplined person!" Lan Ying's voice was so loud that it hurt the hostess's ears.

"I have no objection to what you said about there being witnesses to testify to your accusation. I did accidentally knock over your things just now, and I just wanted to check, but you wanted to hit me like a madman. Is it a crime to see something new?" Knowing that Deputy Captain Feng would definitely support her, Li Meifen's courage grew unconsciously.

If she had known that it was Feng Xianghe who handled the matter, she would have beaten Lan Ying harder, but although Lan Ying's screams were loud, no real harm was actually caused.

"We are all aware of who was the first to pick up the wooden board on the floor. You didn't use your cleverness well. You wanted to attack me but I defended myself. Now you are crying injustice. If you really have the ability, why didn't you do it first?" What Li Meifen said made sense. It was indeed Lan Ying who took action first.

But the reason why Lan Ying exploded was entirely because Li Meifen's words angered her.

"Deputy Captain, you already know what happened at noon. Su Wanwan and I moved here because of a misunderstanding in the dormitory. Who would have thought that she was my roommate? We had an argument in the cafeteria. Just now, she came back and targeted me everywhere. In fact, I have always been troubled by her."

As Li Meifen was narrating, she paid close attention to Feng Xianghe's slightly blurry expression in the darkness. Seeing that he was listening attentively, she felt at ease.

It seems that Li Meifen is not very popular in the village. In addition, every word she said was true, and Lan Ying could not refute anything. Even if she had to be punished, the village would reduce the punishment as appropriate. She had vented her anger just now, as long as she didn't put herself in a passive position.

"That's just nonsense!" Lan Ying couldn't suppress her anger after hearing what Li Meifen said, and she shouted loudly. She wanted to continue to argue, but suddenly a severe headache made her body tilt, and she fell straight down, sitting heavily on the ground, and her rebuttal came to an abrupt end.

"Even if Lan Ying did say something inappropriate this afternoon, you can't be so cruel as to hurt her. Look at her now. She can't even stand steadily. Besides, the lipstick is her personal property after all. Even if you are really interested, can't you just communicate directly? Why do you have to break her things?"

Lan Ying sat on the ground, speechless. Her roommate Wang E gently knelt down to check her injuries and refuted Li Meifen for her.

"Oh, you mean she's going to hit me? Do I have to hold back that little bit of anger?" Li Meifen snorted nonchalantly, "From what I see, she's probably just acting. I just accidentally touched her when I was defending myself. It was just a piece of wood. How could she get hurt like that?"

Li Meifen was certain that Feng Xianghe would stand on her side, so she was not afraid at all, and even turned back to glance at Su Wanwan - but she did not see the expected support on her face, but instead caught a glimpse of calmness that made Li Meifen a little uneasy. She lowered her eyebrows for a moment, then raised her eyes and said:

"Also, after I entered the room, Su Wanwan went to pick up the things that fell on the ground, and ended up getting hit by Lan Ying. Look, Wanwan's arm is all broken and bleeding. Did we instigate this?"

Taking the blame for what had just happened on herself, Li Meifen turned back with great interest to see how Su Wanwan would react, but found that the latter remained as calm as usual and had no intention of explaining.

When did she become so able to control her emotions and remain calm?

After all, Su Wanwan's days in Baihua Village were not without twists and turns. And now Lan Ying's attitude should make Su Wanwan secretly happy.

After listening to everyone's story and debate, Feng Xianghe temporarily moved his eyes away from Li Meifen's face and turned to the people lined up neatly outside the door.

"We heard the shouting just now and saw them fighting as soon as they entered the yard. Lan Ying grabbed the wooden board first, and then the young woman took it away."

An elderly woman outside the courtyard gate responded as a spokesperson for everyone.

"What else?" Feng Xianghe asked.

But the young women outside the door remained silent. After a brief mutual gaze, they all shook their heads. Just now, under the bright sky, everyone saw Li Meifen deliberately throwing Lan Ying's lipstick away. How could this be an "accident"?

They collectively chose to remain silent.

"Okay, it's getting late. You should all go back to your dormitories and don't stay here." Feng Xianghe seemed to have expected this. He nodded and refocused his attention on a few people not far away.
