"Xiao Jie, Xiao Jie, wake up! Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital!"
Yu Songyu quickly wiped Bai Jie down and changed her into decent clothes before sending her off to the hospital. After completing the admission procedures and settling the fees, she finally called Bai Jie's family to inform them, feeling relieved as she left.
She wanted to save the other girls too, but unfortunately, she had already alerted them. If she went back now, it would likely be dangerous. With her current abilities, she had no choice but to prioritize her own safety.
Glancing at the time, she realized that after all this commotion, dawn was approaching. If Aunt Wang woke up and found her suddenly missing, it would surely be strange.
Taking a deep breath, she instantly returned to Aunt Wang's home.
At that moment, the sky was just beginning to brighten. Yu Songyu was too excited to sleep and tossed and turned in bed. Before long, she heard faint noises coming from the kitchen—Aunt Wang must have woken up.
Sitting up, she figured it would be better to get up and see if she could help Aunt Wang rather than lie there in agony.
"Aunt Wang!"
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Aunt Wang holding firewood, preparing to add more to the stove.
"Yu Zhiqing, why are you up so early? Did I disturb you?"
"No, Aunt Wang. I couldn't sleep anyway."
The two chatted amiably, finding they had much in common. By the time Yang Qinghe arrived, Yu Songyu and Aunt Wang had grown quite close.
On their way to Zhiqing's place, Yu Songyu stole a glance at Yang Qinghe from the corner of her eye. This man was truly handsome; even his profile was perfect. Unfortunately, at that moment, she had no mood to appreciate male beauty.
Yang Qinghe sensed the girl's furtive glances. He feigned calmness on the surface but felt his ears turning red.
After they finished their business at Zhiqing's place, Yang Qinghe took Yu Songyu back to the Youth Commune and gathered everyone together for introductions.
"Oh my! Our Youth Commune is truly a blessed place; how did we get such a pretty girl here?"
A nearby Male Educated Youth chimed in playfully. When he mentioned "pretty girl," he naturally included the two troublesome women who had come yesterday.
However, putting aside their character flaws, they were indeed quite attractive—though compared to Yu Songyu, they fell far short.
Having learned from Chen Luzhi's experience, Yu Songyu firmly believed that jealousy could distort one's appearance. Was this why they were trying to harm her?
Throughout it all, Yu Songyu maintained a cold expression and didn't engage in conversation.
"Song Yu! You finally made it! You have no idea how worried Zhang Cuiying and I were about you; we hardly slept all night!"
Seeing Yu Songyu standing there unharmed surprised Wang Xiuli at first. But within just a few seconds, she adjusted her expression and approached Yu Songyu with feigned concern, grabbing her hand.
A sharp crack echoed through the air, shocking everyone present. They could hardly believe that such immense power could emanate from the small frame of Yu Songyu.
The slap caught Wang Xiuli completely off guard, causing a trickle of bright red liquid to seep from the corner of her mouth as she stumbled back, struggling to regain her balance. Zhang Cuiying quickly stepped forward to support Wang Xiuli before she could fall.
"Wang Xiuli, what deep-seated grudge do we have that you would want to freeze me to death?" Yu Songyu's gaze was resolute, her voice steady and unwavering.
"What nonsense are you spouting? You dare to hit me? Are you out of your mind?" Wang Xiuli's words were slurred and unclear.
"Nonsense? Lies? Hmph! Didn't you just say you were worried and couldn't sleep all night? So tell me, did you ever go out to look for me? Did you inform anyone about my disappearance?"
A heavy silence fell over the crowd. The onlookers were not fools; it was clear as day what was happening.
