"Heh..."
Feeling Xu Jing’s hostility, Bai Shutong imdiately understood sothing and looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, revealing a strange smile.
Zhang Xiaoshan was also feeling a bit awkward at this mont.
"Mr. Xu, don’t make trouble, this is a journalist sent from the province to conduct an exclusive interview with the elentary school, to help with fundraising."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jing’s expression eased a little, but looking at Bai Shutong’s beautiful face, she still felt threatened.
"Hello, I’m Zhang Xiaoshan’s girlfriend, my na is Xu Jing."
With a smile on her face, Xu Jing extended her hand.
"Damn."
In Zhang Xiaoshan’s mind, ten thousand "fuck your mothers" raced across.
What the hell was Xu Jing doing?
Bai Shutong was also taken aback.
"You, hello, Bai Shutong."
The two shook hands and then let go.
Bai Shutong turned to Zhang Xiaoshan and asked,
"So Mr. Xu is Dr. Zhang’s girlfriend? How co you didn’t ntion it yesterday, Dr. Zhang?"
"I thought you were single."
Now Zhang Xiaoshan was even more bewildered.
Xu Jing was staking her claim, and Bai Shutong was not backing down either.
Her words were clearly ant to sar Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Hmm?"
Imdiately, Xu Jing looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with a murderous gaze.
"Well, well, I see it’s getting late, you should hurry up with the interview."
"I’ve got so things to take care of in the infirmary, so I won’t disturb you."
Having said that, Zhang Xiaoshan ran off.
"Won are indeed troubleso, let them fight it out, and I’d better keep my distance."
It’s not wise to stay here too long.
After Zhang Xiaoshan left, Xu Jing imdiately organized the students to start the interview.
As a teacher, she was naturally the first.
Bai Shutong ca into the classroom, turned on a small camcorder, and pointed it at Xu Jing.
She then flipped open her notebook, which had her interview schedule for the day and the questions she needed to ask listed on it.
"Mr. Xu, you’re so young and beautiful, and I heard that you used to work at the Health Education Bureau in the county. Why did you give up the comforts of city life to co to this backward mountain village?"
"Aren’t you afraid of wasting your youth here?"
"Of course not, my dream is to work in grassroots education. In fact, when I first ca here and saw how backward it was and how tough the conditions were, I too had thoughts of retreating. But seeing the suffering of the children, I decided to persevere. I hope I can be like a little lighthouse, lighting the path forward for the kids."
"So, you won’t regret it?"
"Absolutely not," Xu Jing said decisively.
"As long as I can give the children an education, even if it ans sacrificing my own life, I will never back down."
At that mont, Bai Shutong was also moved by Xu Jing.
Initially, when they first t, she thought Xu Jing was a sowhat impulsive young girl, but now her view had completely changed.
"Little friend, can I hear about your family situation?"
Bai Shutong then turned to a little boy with red cheeks and a dirty face and asked.
"Where are your mom and dad?"
"My, my dad works in the coal mines, and my mom works on the farm, and my grandma is disabled..."
...
Lunchti arrived.
Zhang Xiaoshan figured it was ti.
He then went to the school to look for Bai Shutong.
But it wasn’t just Bai Shutong who was missing, even Xu Jing was nowhere to be seen.
Just as he was about to leave, Xu Jing ca back from outside the school.
"Where’s Journalist Bai?"
"I just went on a ho visit with Shutong to one child’s house, and we even had a simple al with a farming family. She’s gone back to the village office to rest."
Xu Jing said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"Shutong, sister?"
"Is there sothing wrong?"
"You actually took her on a ho visit?"
"Yeah, why are you looking at like that?"
Xu Jing was a bit put off by Zhang Xiaoshan’s stare.
Zhang Xiaoshan said with so astonishnt.
"When you first t her, weren’t you about to fight with her? How did you suddenly start calling her sister, and get along so well? Have you been possessed or sothing?"
"Mind your own business, deadbeat."
Xu Jing wanted to kick Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan ran off in a puff of smoke.
Think about it, there are so similarities between Xu Jing and Bai Shutong. For example, Bai Shutong didn’t hesitate to offend Purple Gold Mining, a large corporate giant, in order to report the truth, and Xu Jing is also focused on helping won out of their misery. They are both stubborn females with a sense of justice, and given that the situation at the village elentary school was an official matter, it was inevitable that they would feel a kinship after so discussion.
After leaving the school, Zhang Xiaoshan headed to the village office.
Within Bai Shutong’s room, her equipnt and luggage were there, but the person herself was nowhere to be found.
"Where is she?"
He had no choice but to go out and look for her.
The villagers of White Dragon Village are not like those outside; their awareness of the law is weak, bachelors are plenty, a group of old n are starving mad. If they encounter a lone, strange woman, it would be like wolves seeing a sheep. If soone lost their head in the heat of the mont and did sothing to Bai Shutong, that would be disastrous.
"Oof."
As Zhang Xiaoshan walked along the village road, he suddenly spotted a figure on the hillside behind the village.
He hurriedly chased after it.
Soon, he climbed up the hillside.
By now, Bai Shutong had changed her clothes and was wearing a white long dress, looking like a pure white plum blossom.
In front of her, there was also a painting board and many colors.
"Why did you run up here?"
"At least let know when you go out, in case sothing dangerous happens, how am I supposed to explain to Sister Man?"
Zhang Xiaoshan complained.
"I’m just painting a picture, what danger could there be? It’s broad daylight. Why aren’t you accompanying your girlfriend and instead looking for ?" Bai Shutong teased Zhang Xiaoshan, then continued to focus on her painting.
"Don’t talk nonsense, Mr. Xu is not my girlfriend, there’s nothing going on between us."
Zhang Xiaoshan, fearful that Bai Shutong would make up stories in front of Jiang Man, quickly denied the implication.
"Then why did she say she is your girlfriend?"
"That’s just her unrequited love for ."
"Your skin is really thick."
Bai Shutong bantered while continuing to paint.
"What are you painting?"
Zhang Xiaoshan curiously moved behind Bai Shutong.
"Oof?"
The next mont, Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes widened in surprise.
