It was several hours later when Jian Qingyi emerged from the Dream Island.

Outside the window, the dark clouds had been blown away at some point, and sunlight shone through the clouds, making everything seem vibrant and full of life.

The following day, Jian Qingyi changed back into her own clothes and was discharged from the hospital.

Before she could even leave the inpatient department, she was blocked by a burly man with a face full of fat and bulging veins.

Jian Qingyi frowned slightly.

He was clearly a pig butcher, but he looked just like a pig.

The man seemed oblivious to Jian Qingyi's displeasure and moved closer to her with a grin.

The man's eyes were already small, and when he smiled like that, he looked even more sleazy.

"Yi Yi, are you alright?" The man looked Jian Qingyi up and down.

His gaze swept over her chest area, pausing noticeably for several seconds.

Jian Qingyi's fist hardened instantly.

"Yiyi, tell me, how could you be so foolish? Although Brother Wang is a bit older than you, older men know how to take care of people. As long as you follow me, I promise I'll treat you well." The man's chubby, round face gleamed with a greasy sheen.

"How do you plan to treat me well?" Jian Qingyi slowly curved the corners of her mouth into a smile.

"As long as you follow me, I guarantee you'll eat well and drink well every day, and you can spend money however you want." Seeing her smile, the man thought her attitude had softened, and his already small eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

As he spoke, he took out a women's watch from his pocket and made a gesture as if to put it on Jian Qingyi's wrist.

Jian Qingyi dodged to the side.

The man tried to take Jian Qingyi's hand, but Jian Qingyi glared at him and pushed him away.

"With people coming and going here, what kind of behavior is this, pulling and tugging at each other?!" Jian Qingyi glanced furtively at the grove of trees not far away.

The original owner's voice was already beautiful, and when paired with Jian Qingyi's deliberately softened tone, the voice was so soft it seemed like it could be squeezed to release water.

The man immediately became agitated.

She had just entered the grove when the man followed her in.

Looking at Jian Qingyi's slender figure, the man rubbed his fly-like hands together, wanting to move closer.

But before his hand could even touch Jian Qingyi's clothes, he was kicked hard in the chest.

He didn't even see how Jian Qingyi kicked him before he was sent flying backward.

Then came a series of heavy, dull punches that landed on him. He tried to swing his arm to fight back, but before he could even get a chance to swing, he was overwhelmed by the fast and fierce punches and had no chance to defend himself.

In the end, all he could do was passively endure the repeated blows and beg for mercy.

Once the pent-up frustration in her chest was released, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her hands with a look of disgust.

"Wang Jiawang, today is just a small lesson for you. If you dare to come and get in my way again..."

With a beautiful side kick, Jian Qingyi sent the thick soapberry tree crashing to the ground with a "crack".

The man, bruised and battered, cowered and retreated repeatedly.

"I won't dare to do it again, I will never dare to do it again."

Jian Qingyi raised her clenched fist, "Get out of here!"

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving right now!" The man scrambled to his feet and ran away in a panic.

Jian Qingyi threw away the handkerchief in her hand and turned to walk outside.

Perhaps because it was lunchtime, there weren't many people outside.

The huge People's Hospital looked deserted.

Jian Qingyi was new to the place and found everything fascinating.

The old building has a vintage feel, with white walls on top and green on the bottom, square flower beds, and green door panels and window frames...

These were all things Jian Qingyi had never seen in her previous life.

“Yi Yi…”

She had just strolled to the hospital entrance when a familiar male voice rang out from the roadside.

Jian Qingyi looked in the direction of the voice and met a pair of smiling eyes.

The man had an upright posture and a simple, honest appearance. The moment his eyes met Jian Qingyi's, he revealed a set of gleaming white teeth.

"Big brother, when did you get back?" Jian Qingyi smiled.

In the original owner's short life, her cousin Jian Yiwei was definitely one of the people who gave her warmth.

Isn't this person a soldier serving in Beijing?

"You just got back. Why did you come out of the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?" Jian Yiwei's smile faded a little, and his concerned gaze swept back and forth over Jian Qingyi.

"No, I came to the hospital to visit a classmate," Jian Qingyi casually made up an excuse.

Worried that he would ask again, she simply changed the subject, "Big brother, how many days will you be staying this time?"

"We can't stay even for a day. The political commissar and I are here on business, and we have to leave soon," Jian Yiwei said with a simple smile.

Perhaps because of his dark skin, Jian Yiwei's bright white teeth were dazzling.

Jian Qingyi's gaze always unconsciously fell on his big white teeth.

For some reason, he reached into his shirt pocket, unbuttoned it, and pulled out the few neatly arranged bills inside.

"Yiyi, I didn't bring much money with me this time, so please take this and use it first." He said, stuffing it into Jian Qingyi's hand.

"Big brother, no need, I have money..." Jian Qingyi subconsciously refused.

Even though she had never lived in this era, she knew that life was tough for everyone back then.

Although Jian Yiwei had been serving in the army in Beijing for several years, his salary and allowances were not much, and he had to send money home every month, so he didn't have much money left for himself.

"Take it, don't think it's too little, it's just a small token of my appreciation." Jian Yiwei kept stuffing it into Jian Qingyi's hand.

"Big brother, I really have money. My dad gave me money." Jian Qingyi refused to accept the money no matter what.

If Jian Yiwei were a wealthy tycoon, she would have taken the money without a second thought, considering it a Robin Hood moment. But Jian Yiwei isn't like that; this was his hard-earned money.

Jian Qingyi didn't have the nerve to ask for it.

One insisted on giving it, while the other resolutely refused.

You push me and I shove you.

"Jian Yiwei, what are you doing?" An angry male voice came from not far away.

As the words fell, footsteps approached from afar.

Jian Qingyi only felt a gust of wind pass by before she was standing right in front of him.

The man, dressed in a crisp military uniform, exuded an invisible sense of authority thanks to his upright military posture.

From Jian Qingyi's perspective, she could only see the man's well-defined profile.

Those deep eyes were like an icy pool, exuding a chilling aura...

You can tell at a glance that he is the kind of person who is taciturn, has a strong aura, is very shrewd, and is not easily fooled.

Chien Yi-wei immediately stood at attention.

"Jian Yiwei, what were you doing just now?" The man's voice was extremely cold, seemingly filled with anger.

"Report, my younger sister and I were just chatting about everyday things." Jian Yiwei puffed out his chest.

"Chatting about everyday things?" the man scoffed.

If he wasn't afraid of scaring the little girl, he would have kicked her long ago.

Whose brother is holding his sister's hand and chatting like this?!

He turned to look at Jian Qingyi beside him, his voice unconsciously softening slightly, "Is what he said true?"

“Okay!” Jian Qingyi nodded.

"Is he your brother?" The man glanced at Jian Yiwei's dark, round face, then looked at Jian Qingyi's fair, delicate face, and remained doubtful.

“My dearest cousin.” Jian Qingyi knew that these days people paid the most attention to conduct, so she said with a serious expression.
