"Hey, what kind of protection is this? Do you know? After going through this incident, I finally understood the feeling Xiaoqing had when she was kidnapped by traffickers back then. When I was rescued, my hands wouldn't stop shaking; I knew I was scared. Since then, I couldn't sleep at night, afraid that someone might break in and kidnap me until I came back here and finally felt at ease. How did Xiaoqing get through it back then?"
Li Xuemei turned over, held her husband's rough palm, gently stroked its lines, and softly comforted, "It's all in the past. Everything is over. We will definitely live better than before."
Gu Xiaoqing returned to school; she almost got expelled for not attending classes during this period. Fortunately, Gu Xiaoqing is a strong self-learner, so she didn't fall too far behind in her courses.
Guo Donghua was always curious: what did Gu Xiaoqing run off to Guang City for? Why did she come back limping?
