Quick Transmigration: The Control Group in Sweet Novels

After seeing Qi Rongguang leave, Dong Yuehua couldn't stop thinking. After cleaning up the dishes, she was still thinking about Qi Jing and turned to go to the kitchen to heat up some food.

Qi Yang stopped her, saying, "Mom, let me do it."

The girl said calmly, "Go and work in the fields. The work in the fields can't be delayed. I'm feeling uneasy right now and don't want to see anyone. If I go, she can at least say a few words."

Seeing how sensible her second daughter was, Dong Yuehua couldn't help but feel gratified. She nodded, "Yes, yes, you're right. I'll go and get back to work now."

She turned around instinctively, not forgetting to remind Qi Yang, "You have to make sure your sister finishes eating, and remember to persuade her again. Everyone has to get married eventually. It's not easy, but it's not easy for anyone."

Qi Yang replied without looking up, "I understand."

The woman's footsteps faded into the distance before Qi Yang raised her head, put down what she was holding, turned around, and walked out of the kitchen into the house.

In the empty and silent room, Qi Jing was nowhere to be seen. Qi Yang stood there, her gaze calmly sweeping over the empty bed.

Late last night, Qi Jing packed all her belongings.

Qi Jing had lived here for twenty years, but her luggage was pitifully small. Under the cover of darkness, Qi Yang personally escorted her to the village entrance, repeatedly instructing her on how to get to the town, take a bus to the city, and then buy a train ticket in the city.

At that time, Qi Jing clutched her meager belongings, her heart filled with bitterness.

Seeing her expression, Qi Yang patted her hand. "I already told you, my parents won't do anything to me now that I'm staying in the mountains. Why are you still crying?"

Qi Jing kept her head down, "If I leave, Dad will definitely take his anger out on you..."

"Don't you know his character? He's always been like this." Qi Yang said nonchalantly, "If he hits me, I'll run away. I'm not a wooden post, standing there to let him hit me."

Qi Jing remained silent.

"Don't cry, save your energy. We still have to walk all night." Qi Yang instructed, "Be careful on the road, don't trust strangers too much, don't go to remote places, and don't be soft-hearted and come back."

Qi Jing looked up, biting her lip: "...I can't."

"Then I'm relieved."

Qi Yang's eyes shone even brighter in the night. She stood at the village entrance and waved to her, "You should go now. I have to hurry back, or I'm afraid my parents will wake up and find out."

Qi Jing nodded, took a few steps forward with her head down, and then turned her head to look at her sister's figure.

She had never been anywhere else, and now that she was leaving, she didn't even know where she would end up. So, after this parting, they might never see each other again in this lifetime.

She glanced at it, then turned away without saying a word and ran out of the village.

Qi Yang lowered her eyes. She could only buy Qi Jing a day and a night, which would be enough for Qi Jing to get on the train.

...

Qi Yang stayed quietly at home all day.

The day was peaceful and calm.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, its warm glow washing away the day's gloom, Qi Yang strolled leisurely towards the school, bathed in the setting sun.

Before she even stepped into the school gate, she could see a tall and slender figure standing under a tree outside the school.

The young man exudes a calm and gentle temperament, giving people a strong sense of security simply by standing there.

Qi Yang paused, and before he even got close, the other person looked over from afar, a faint smile instantly spreading across his face, his handsome features appearing even softer in the setting sun.

Qi Yang quickly stepped forward, looked up at him, and asked, "Teacher Lin, were you waiting for me?"

Lin Huaixu readily agreed, "Yes, I'm waiting for you."

He didn't tell her that he actually wanted to go to the Qi family to pick her up as soon as get out of class ended, but he was afraid of running into other people on the way and causing Qi Yang to be gossiped about, so he had to suppress his thoughts and not go there rashly.

For some reason, the frustration and tension that had been building up in Qi Yang's heart all day eased a little when she saw him.

Qi Yang followed Lin Huaixu into the teachers' office. The room still exuded the familiar fragrance of books, which lingered faintly in her nostrils.

Before she could even sit down, the young man in front of her leaned down slightly and placed something on her forehead.

A slightly cool touch pressed against her for a moment, and Qi Yang subconsciously turned her head away, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. She glanced at the small bottle in his hand and asked in confusion, "What's this?"

"yogurt."

"These things were sent from Shanghai," Lin Huaixu explained. "A friend sent some over a while ago, and I distributed them to the kids in my class. There are still some left."

He had his own selfish motives and left more for Qi Yang.

Qi Yang had never seen yogurt before in this world.

Lin Huaixu bent down, unscrewed the bottle cap, and handed it to her.

The girl tilted her head back, looked earnestly at Lin Huaixu, and asked softly, "Teacher Lin, have you had some?"

Lin Huaixu nodded calmly, "I've already had it."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently ruffled the girl's hair. "Finish your drink slowly before you start reading."

Qi Yang, sipping her yogurt, even had the leisure to chat with him, "Teacher Lin, which cities have you visited?"

Lin Huaixu paused briefly, then quietly named a few cities before saying, "When I was in university, I took on some jobs and traveled to some places."

Qi Yang responded softly.

Lin Huaixu assumed she was simply longing for the outside world, and his heart softened. He gently comforted her, "If you want to go, we can find some time, and I'll go with you."

Qi Yang lowered her eyes and did not respond. Now that Qi Jing was gone, a storm was bound to break out in the family. She was now penniless and didn't even have money to run away.

It will be very difficult to have a stable life in the future.

Lin Huaixu suddenly changed the subject, "I also want to thank you for compiling the list last time; it helped me a lot. However, I still need to visit each household, but I may not be familiar with every family. If you have time, could you come with me?"

After a moment's thought, Qi Yang nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Upon hearing this, Lin Huaixu's smile deepened. The visit was merely an excuse; he simply wanted more time alone with Qi Yang.

He suddenly picked up a leather envelope from the corner of the table and handed it to me, saying, "This is for you."

"What is this?" Qi Yang subconsciously reached out and took it. She pinched it with her fingertips and noticed that the envelope was bulging. She was a little puzzled. She opened the seal and a neat stack of banknotes came into view.

Qi Yang was immediately stunned. "Teacher Lin, what are you giving me this money for?"

Lin Huaixu pretended to be serious and said, "This money is not a personal gift from me. It is a subsidy approved by higher authorities to thank you for your help this time."

Qi Yang's lips twitched slightly, but before she could refuse, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the courtyard, "Qi Yang? Has anyone seen where the second daughter of the Qi family is?"

Qi Yang's heart skipped a beat, her expression changed slightly, and she stood up and walked out.
