Chapter 1284: Chapter 1284: Jealousy from Love 1

Before Wang Huan’s words had a chance to settle, Zheng Huihui shouted angrily, "What’s the point of saying that now? What’s the use of saying all this after you’ve lost Zhou Zhou? Isn’t the whole point of not going out alone to enter and leave together, to be aware of each other’s presence, to prevent outsiders from taking advantage, to avoid giving anyone something to talk about? If you had been talking to her the whole time, how could you have lost her?"

"I didn’t do it on purpose, I just turned around to catch a few Golden Cicadas, and when I looked back, Zhou Zhou was gone." Wang Huan’s round face was streaked with tears, looking both disgraced and regretful.

"Who knows if you did it on purpose? Otherwise, how did Zhou Zhou’s flashlight end up in your hands?" Zheng Huihui snorted.

Wang Huan tightened her grip on the semi-new flashlight in her hand, defending herself, "Why would I intentionally lose Zhou Zhou? We all come from different places, united by a common revolutionary goal."

"Then why don’t you finish the sentence? That all of us in this team should care for and look after each other?"

Liao Aidang, who disliked Zheng Huihui’s showy nature and was wary of her connections with the elite from the Capital, as well as her recent dealings with the Lu Family, cut her off rudely, "Enough, enough, what’s the point of arguing now? Shouldn’t we be looking for Zhou Zhou instead of arguing? By this time, we could have found her already!"

Zheng Huihui, unhappy, continued, "It’s clearly her fault; Zhou Zhou is the youngest, frail and delicate, she has never gone out alone before. If anything were to happen to her, I wonder if you could live with your conscience!" still pointing her finger at Wang Huan.

Upon hearing Zheng Huihui’s words, Feng Qingxue couldn’t help but look at her in a new light.

Although she wasn’t a particularly good girl, she wasn’t a bad one either; she was just more realistic.

Human nature is probably the most complex thing in the world. No one is perfect, nor utterly evil. Every person has different strengths and weaknesses, and in the end, it’s character that distinguishes good from evil.

Wang Dachun, troubled by the squabbling group of girls and worried that the argument would waste more time, addressed Feng Qingxue directly, "Never mind, I need to quickly find that girl Zhou Zhou."

If something truly happened to the educated youth who were sent down to the countryside, it would be an embarrassment for Wanglou Brigade.

Feng Qingxue hurriedly said, "Big cousin, there’s no need to search."

"What do you mean?" Wang Dachun’s eyes brightened. Could it be that his cousin knew of Zhou Zhou’s whereabouts?

Zheng Huihui also looked expectantly at Feng Qingxue, "Comrade Qingxue, do you know where Zhou Zhou is?"

Beneath the night sky, surrounded by the light of the moon, stars, and flickers of flashlight, Feng Qingxue smiled slightly under the watchful eyes of all and answered, "My home is close to the grove. Right after Zhou Zhou lost Wang Huan, she ran straight to my place. The older kids had gone out to catch cicadas, and the younger one was sleeping, so I couldn’t take her back and that caused the delay."

Wang Dachun heaved a sigh of relief, Zheng Huihui was overjoyed, while only Wang Huan felt a faint flicker of disappointment cross her heart, a fleeting look that went unnoticed, as she exclaimed, "That’s great, that’s really great, Zhou Zhou is safe, truly great!"

Feng Qingxue, taking it all in, turned back and called inside, "Zhou Zhou, everyone’s here looking for you."

After Guan Cheng left, the babies had all fallen asleep, and Zhou Zhou, who had followed Feng Qingxue out into the courtyard, now timidly emerged before everyone and asked, "Did I cause trouble?"
