Didn’t the young lady say she went out with Lady Yang? How could she be in the mountains?

Li Chuntao had been wandering in the mountains for a long time, unable to find a way down. She didn’t expect to encounter Alu here, and faced with Alu’s question, she didn’t know how to respond. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

She couldn’t possibly say that she was tricked into coming here, thinking it was Yang Dong who called her, so she came. She really couldn’t bring herself to say it, so she said, "Alu, let’s go back."

"Miss..."

Alu wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Li Chuntao again, "Alu, don’t say anything, don’t ask anything, let’s go back quickly, I just want to be quiet."

Alu originally wanted to tell her young lady that she had followed Yang Xiaocui into the mountains, but had lost track of her.

But seeing her young lady like this, Alu knew something must have happened. Since the young lady didn’t want to say, she wouldn’t ask. Whatever her young lady said was what it was.

So she asked no more, said no more, and searched for the way down the mountain with her young lady.

Because Alu hadn’t been in the mountains long and hadn’t gone deep inside, Li Chuntao had almost reached the way out of the mountains.

So the two of them descended the mountain shortly.

After coming down the mountain, the two of them quickly returned to Hope Academy.

As soon as she entered the academy, Li Chuntao returned to her room and said, "Alu, I’m going inside first, don’t bother me if there’s nothing important."

"Miss..."

Alu was very worried about her young lady, who was acting very strangely. She worried something might happen to her, so she couldn’t help but speak.

Li Chuntao knew that if she didn’t say something, Alu would be very anxious and might even call Xiaoxiao over. She couldn’t let Xiaoxiao come.

So she said, "Alu, don’t worry, I’m fine, I’m just a bit tired and want to rest for a couple of days. Please take care of things at the academy for me, and make sure nothing goes wrong. Also, don’t go looking for Xiaoxiao, I’m really fine."

Hearing these instructions, Alu could only agree, "Okay, Miss."

After Alu left, Li Chuntao locked herself in her room.

She still couldn’t believe what had just happened; she had barely escaped with her life.

She thought that from now on, she’d never go out alone, nor would she trust anyone so easily, even if it’s a child.

Although she wasn’t harmed by Yang Daniu, and Yang Daniu had only pulled her arm, in the end, when Yang Daniu fainted, he still fell on her.

This fact was something she couldn’t accept.

If people found out she was almost violated by Yang Daniu, how would she go on living?

She wasn’t afraid of people saying she was fat, or ugly, or that she couldn’t get married.

But she was afraid of people talking about this.

She didn’t know if anyone had seen her going up the mountain today or if it would be found out.

Just the thought of it terrified her. She was even more afraid of Yang Dong finding out, worried he would look down on her. She feared even more that he would know she went up the mountain because of him. If Yang Dong found out, he’d know her feelings; she couldn’t let him know.

So she locked herself in the room, only coming out for the toilet. Alu took care of her meals and drinks.

She felt as if she had walked into a dead end, unable to find her way out.
