clearly out of place in the relaxed atmosphere of the living room. After a brief greeting, he turned and walked away.Before leaving, I glanced at Gu Ruandong, thinking he would leave too. Unexpectedl...Under the awkward gaze of her roommates, she said with a joking tone, "But getting beaten up really hurts." 。Although it couldn't completely ease the awkwardness, at least the atmosphere had eased a little. 。Actually, after clearing things up, a sudden feeling of sadness arose in her heart. She was lucky to have escaped, but what about the girls who hadn't Even if they were assaulted and even if they had children, what was wrong with thatThe next day in class, the counselor came looking for her first, took her to his office, and asked with concern, "How are you doing""Thank you, teacher, I'm fine." 。After a night, she had calmed down. 。The counselor said, "The women's federation wants to apologize to you because of a work error that led to the list being leaked, causing you trouble." 。"
It doesn't matter what, as long as the kidnapped victims are found." 。The counselor looked uneasy: “They’re already in the department head's office and want to see you.” 。Just as they were speaking, there was a knock at the office door. The door was already open, and Xu Haochen raised his hand politely to knock on it again. Behind him stood several middle-aged women with "Women's Federation" badges on their chests. 。Since they were already at the office, Chen Ling might as well meet up. It wasn't anything scandalous anyway. 。After another round of apologies and pleasantries, the director finally got down to business: "When we received the list from the police, it took us some time to track you down. We were thrilled to learn that you had been accepted into this university – truly inspirational." 。“
It wasn't flattery; several staff members in the office were moved to tears at the time, because it was so rare. In their previous work experience, for a victim of abduction to be able to run out on their own and integrate into society normally was already remarkable. She, however, far exceeded their expectations, which is also the purpose of their trip.” 。Chen Ling blushed a little at the praise and quietly took a sip of water. It wasn't that she was particularly inspirational, but rather that she was lucky enough to have met some remarkable people. 。"Chen, we invited you here today because we'd like to ask you to help us shoot a promotional video. 。Chen Ning's first reaction was to refuse. She didn't want to talk about her past experiences, and she didn't like doing things that required "putting herself out there." 。She's just a lucky ordinary girl, nothing special to brag about. 。Chen Linghui, "Do you remember the conversation we had at the library that day" Xu Haichen reminded her before she could speak. 。His voice was gentle, but his eyes were fixed on her with determination. 。The head of the Women's Federation also said, "Chen classmate, because your experience is so inspiring, you can bring hope and strength to countless people trapped in darkness. This promotional film is very meaningful." 。Chen Ning hesitated for a moment, thinking deep inside. If she didn't even have the courage to stand up, then what right did she have to say that she wanted to be a soldier and fight alongside her uncle "Okay, I'll cooperate with your filming." 。Without hesitation, she agreed. 。Xu Haichen cast her an admiring glance, and the people from the Women's Federation also wore pleased smiles. 。The promotional video was jointly completed by the Women's Federation and the school. The content is clear and concise, mainly focusing on Chen Ninghui as the protagonist, narrating her story of being abducted, rescued, attending remedial classes, and finally getting admitted to a foreign language institute. 。
Chen Ning's initial reaction was extreme discomfort. She wanted to repeatedly tear open her own wounds and show everyone, but after repeating it several times, she gradually detached herself and observed the situation from a bystander's perspective. From beginning to end, she was the victim, and she did nothing wrong. 。。After the airing of the promotional video, it caused a huge stir in the outside world, pushing the action against trafficking women and children into a frenzy. 。For a while, Chen Ling was the center of attention. Besides concern from school leaders and the Women's Federation, a person in charge of a charitable foundation learned that she had received a student loan and was looking for part-time work. They invited her to be an assistant at the foundation, responsible for collecting and verifying various aid requests. They offered her a fixed monthly salary. 。Here, everyone gave her the utmost kindness, allowing her to quickly emerge from the shadows and face the abyss of the past. As she did, she gradually let go, becoming more cheerful. 。When it came to winter break, she was the first one off campus. She couldn't wait to get back to that northwestern base and catch up with her uncle. There was so much she wanted to tell him. 。It was a bitterly cold morning in the Song Dynasty capital, and as the soldiers trained outdoors, a young girl could be seen standing on the railing outside the training ground. She had a backpack on and wore a thin cotton coat, watching them silently for what seemed like ages. 。He frowned, muttered a few words to the person beside him, and then hurried over. 。
"Uncle" 。Chen Ling took an overnight train but showed no signs of tiredness. Her face was stiff from the cold, and even trying to force a smile proved futile. 。
"What are you doing here Go back" 。Song Jingye's attitude remained as always, even using a commanding tone to tell her to go back to the family courtyard. 。The little girl went to Beijing for half a year of study, and she looked much healthier and more energetic than before. 。"I'll be right back." 。No matter what attitude he had, Chen Ling's heart secretly delighted. Seeing him made her heart overflow with joy. Her eyes, already big, shone like they held stars, revealing the girl's unspoken thoughts. 。Only someone like Song Jingye, a straight man through and through, couldn't see it. He was too cold outside, so he took her bag and walked towards the family courtyard first. 。The room on the third floor, I kept it for her. 。"Warm up first, you can go to the cafeteria for breakfast later." 。"After Song Jingye finished speaking, he turned and prepared to leave." 。
"Uncle" 。Chen Ling called out to him. 。She took out several papers from her bag, including documents and certificates, and handed them to him one by one. "Uncle, this is the scholarship I won from our school, this is the progress award awarded by our department, and this is the honor award I received for participating in public welfare activities." 。"It's not about showing off, it's about sharing with him and letting him know that she hasn't let down his every bit of care." 。Seeing her so excited, her expectant eyes looking at him, he reached out and tousled her hair: "That's great" 。Just like a real uncle would, with heartfelt praise. 。But when he placed his strong hands on her head, she shivered with a thrill. 。They always treat her like a little girl, but she's 19 years old and will be 20 soon after the new year. She's not an innocent child anymore. 。She was already smitten by his one action, but he then added, “You’ve grown taller”
She had gained a little weight since before, and she didn't look as youthful anymore, making her appear taller. 。Chen Ning's heart beat faster. Taking this opportunity, she mustered her courage: "I'm about to turn 20, I won't grow any taller anymore." 。"
It's enough now, she's already taller than the height requirement for female soldiers to enlist." 。e woman had disappeared.At that time, she kept wondering if it was because she had walked right into their trap, prompting the woman to kidnap her on a whim, or if they had been watching her all along...
