It was almost 10 p.m. when I finished giving my statement at the police station.

Seeing the brave young people, and worried that something might happen again, the police kindly sent a car to take them home.

Anyway, it's not troublesome, the three of us went to the same neighborhood.

Along the way, Song Lingge didn't find a chance to speak to Qiao Nansheng.

After getting out of the police car, when only the three of them remained, Song Lingge couldn't hold back any longer: "Why are you back? Why did you go to school?"

She pointed to her suitcase again and asked in surprise, "You're not home yet? Did you just get off the plane?"

No wonder Qiao Nansheng looked exhausted.

Qiao Nansheng looked at her without answering, only smiling gently.

After listening quietly to her finish speaking, he replied, "We can talk about any problems tomorrow. It's too late now, and you still need to settle Xiuxiu in. If you go back this late, Grandpa Zhao and the others will definitely ask questions, and you'll stay up even later."

Song Lingge really wanted to say that 10 o'clock was not late at all; nightlife was in full swing.

But seeing Zhang Xiuxiu's obvious shock and Qiao Nansheng's tired dark circles, she finally nodded.

There's plenty of time in the future, no need to rush this moment.

Although she insisted that Qiao Nansheng go back first, and that the two girls didn't need him to take them, since they were in their own neighborhood and it was safe.

However, without saying a word, Qiao Nansheng eventually sent them back to the Zhao family before returning home himself.

After returning home, Lin Xiuzhi and Zhao Zhangguo indeed questioned her for a long time.

Song Lingge originally planned to use Zhang Xiuxiu as an excuse, saying that she finished class too late, which made her return much later.

But Zhang Xiuxiu is still in a panic, which is really unhelpful.

So Song Lingge made excuses for a long time, but Lin Xiuzhi and Zhao Zhangguo remained suspicious.

However, since it was indeed bedtime and there were guests, I didn't ask any further questions.

Back in her room, Song Lingge asked Zhang Xiuxiu to take a hot shower, while she went downstairs to shower herself.

Once the two of them were lying on the comfortable bed, they both breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

After taking a shower, Zhang Xiuxiu felt much better.

She looked at Song Lingge, who was making the same gesture as her, and said, "You really scared me today. Lingge, you're so brave. If it were me, I probably would have just cried."

Song Lingge's lips curved slightly into a smile, unsure how to respond to Zhang Xiuxiu.

If it were Song Lingge from her previous life, she probably would have only known how to cry.

But after experiencing that despair, she knew that only she could save herself.

However, thanks to what happened in her previous life, she thought about training herself after being reborn.

Nobody knew about learning Taekwondo and self-defense techniques except Zhao Zhangguo.

This is Song Lingge's last trump card.

"Xiuxiu, do you know how you went to the police station, and how Nansheng suddenly appeared at the school?" Song Lingge asked.

“I ran into Nansheng at the school gate when I came back from get out of class. He said he was planning to give you a surprise. Then we got closer and found you being attacked by thugs. So Nansheng told me to call the police and ran to save you.”

It was indeed a pleasant surprise. Song Lingge had considered a million possibilities, but none of them were things she had hoped Qiao Nansheng would appear at that time.

But he actually showed up.

Of all the possibilities, none occurred, but the most unlikely one appeared.

Just like in Songjiawu, he helped her protect herself from harm.

Still the same person.

It has never changed.

Zhang Xiuxiu turned to face Song Lingge and said with emotion, "Lingge, you are so lucky. Nansheng is really good to you, so very good!"

Song Lingge repeated this sentence in her heart.

Zhang Xiuxiu added, "When he saw you were in danger, he rushed over without thinking. When we first met, he said he called your home and found out you were at the KTV, so he immediately took a taxi over. When he got to Ailedi, he found out you were looking for me at the apartment again, so he came in to find you, and that's how we met at the door."

Even if Song Lingge were a cold corpse, Zhang Xiuxiu's words would still warm her heart.

"Alright, go to sleep. You look sleepy." Song Lingge said softly, looking at Zhang Xiuxiu's squinting eyes.

Zhang Xiuxiu nodded. After the extreme fear, she was able to relax. Her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were all exhausted, and she needed to get a good night's sleep.

The same applies to Song Lingge.

Tomorrow, she has something very, very, very important to do, and she can't afford to be in a bad state.

The next morning, before dawn, Song Lingge woke up.

She quietly got dressed and went downstairs.

Lin Xiuzhi had just gotten up and was clearly taken aback when she saw her. Was this really her granddaughter who loved to sleep until she naturally woke up?

"Grandma, I'm going out for a run. Xiuxiu is still asleep. If she wakes up, please let her know," Song Lingge said softly.

Lin Xiuzhi smiled and nodded.

Running? What a ridiculous idea of ​​hers.

She couldn't hide her little thoughts at all.

Lin Xiuzhi was young once too, so she was well aware of these little tricks of hers.

"I'll call Nansheng over for breakfast later. I'll make some extra delicious food," Lin Xiuzhi said before turning and heading to the kitchen.

Song Lingge was left standing there, stunned.

Lin Xiuzhi's seemingly simple sentence exposed her hidden thoughts.

Running was just a pretense; finding Qiao Nansheng was the real purpose.

"But Grandma, don't I have any pride?" Song Lingge cried out in her heart.

The thought of how she had acted all high and mighty just a few days ago, not even calling Qiao Nansheng, and now racking her brains to find an excuse to go out and see her made Song Lingge feel embarrassed.

Oh well, it's no big deal to lose face in front of my own grandmother.

Song Lingge changed into her running shoes and ran towards Qiao Nansheng's house.

The whole neighborhood was quiet, but there were people jogging every now and then.

The Qin family home is quiet now, not a single light is on, presumably they haven't gotten up yet.

Song Lingge felt a bit stupid. She hadn't made plans with Qiao Nansheng last night, nor had they spoken on the phone today, and she had just suddenly come over like this.

That's incredibly stupid.

Looking out the window of Qiao Nansheng's room, Song Lingge lingered for a while before sheepishly turning around and going home.

It's a secret.

It was a feeling she hadn't yet had the chance to express.

She suddenly felt a little flustered. The misunderstanding with Qiao Nansheng hadn't been resolved yet, and she had come all this way.

The more she thought about it, the more she realized that her eagerness seemed unlike something a woman who had been married for many years and had been reborn should do.

Love can lead to ruin; the ancients were right.

On the way home, Song Lingge stopped running and kicked small stones along the way.

She had two little figures fighting in her mind.

One thing that allowed her to face her true feelings and boldly express her longing for Qiao Nansheng.

One of the reasons she was told not to act impulsively was that, at most, her importance in Qiao Nansheng's heart was about the same as Jing Chu's.

The argument was so heated that Song Lingge's head felt like it was about to explode.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind.

"This isn't like you. You've come all this way, and you're just leaving without saying a word."
