She knew that Miss favorited her.

It was truly a stroke of good fortune for her to be able to meet Miss in this lifetime.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and did not look at Zhao Shanshan anymore.

She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked to the side of the road.

The wilderness in spring was really beautiful.

Suddenly, not far ahead, a staggering figure in the middle of the road entered Lin Xiaoyue’s sight.

Frowning, Zhao Qiang stopped the carriage.

“Where did this crazy alcoholic come from? Get lost!” Zhao Qiang berated.

Although he did not see the person’s face, Zhao Qiang had already guessed his identity.

Lin Xiaoyue and Zhao Shanshan, who were in the carriage, actually knew this person as well.

That’s right. The man who was drunk and staggering with a walking stick was Lin Yuanshan, who had half his leg amputated.

Lin Yuanshan had been recuperating at home since he was sent back from Huichun Hall. He only left home recently.

He found out that Xiao Qing and Li Huaiyu had both passed the county examination. When he heard that Xiao Qing had gotten first place in the county examination, Lin Yuanshan had mixed feelings.

He took the ox-cart to Qingshi Town. He was prepared to go to the academy in town to ask about becoming a teacher.

In the end, he kept getting rejected.

In fact, this result was not hard to imagine.

Although there were many academies and private schools in Qingshi Town, some of them were small and only accepted students who were preparing to start their education, but they also had requirements for the teachers.

The minimum requirement was to pass the county examination.

Lin Yuanshan thought highly of himself. He thought that if he were to participate in the exam this year, he would definitely pass. However, it was only an if.

He didn’t qualify if he didn’t pass the examination..

Moreover, he had half of his leg amputated, so it was inconvenient for him to walk.

The academy and the private school felt that accepting him would affect their image, so they rejected him.

Lin Yuanshan was sent out of the door with a face full of dust and dirt. He wandered on the streets.

Then, he unknowingly walked to Qingyun Street and even bumped into his former classmates.

They were still as high-spirited as ever, but he was the only one who was down and out.

As he listened to his classmates discussing the recent situation in Qingyun Academy, praising Xiao Qing, Li Huaiyu, and the others, and then discussing their homework, he found that he could not get a word in.

In fact, no one would even look at him. He seemed to have become a forgotten existence in a corner.

This feeling made him feel suffocated.

Once upon a time, Lin Yuanshan was also an outstanding student. Many people would ask him about his schoolwork.

But now…

After that, the students paid the bill and left.

He was the last to leave.

Looking at their backs as they left, he felt as if his previous life had become a dream.

A dream that could no longer be touched…

After that, he did not know how he left.

When he woke up again, he was already at the entrance of the tavern.

Then, he spent all the copper coins he had on him, bought a pot of wine, and walked out of the city.

After leaving the city, he drank and cried.

At first, he cried very hard, but then he cried and laughed like a madman.

He, Lin Yuanshan, had actually fallen to such a state…

Lin Yuanshan was extremely numb when he heard the scolding behind him.

Without looking back, he threw away the wine pot in his hand and simply lay on the ground.

“Hmph, if you have the guts, you can crush me to death…” Then, he said drunkenly.

Zhao Qiang almost exploded in anger.

Was this cripple really crazy?

Lin Xiaoyue frowned.

“Go around it.” She said before Zhao Qiang could speak.

When Lin Yuanshan, who was lying on the ground, heard the voice, his body shook.

Then, he propped himself up.

When he saw that the person in the carriage was really Lin Xiaoyue, a hint of shame and anger flashed across his eyes, and he quickly averted his gaze.

Then, the emotions in his eyes changed rapidly as he looked back at Lin Xiaoyue.

“Ms. Lin.” He stammered.

Lin Xiaoyue frowned.

She ignored Lin Yuanshan and looked at Zhao Qiang.

Zhao Qiang understood and hurried the horse to the side.

Lin Yuanshan was anxious. He pushed himself against the ground with both hands and actually followed her.

Zhao Qiang was forced to pull the reins.

“You want to die?!” Zhao Qiang glared at Lin Yuanshan unhappily. His tone was very unfriendly.

Did this cripple really want to die? Wasn’t he afraid of being trampled to death?

Lin Yuanshan ignored Zhao Qiang and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

“Ms. Lin, c-can you give me a moment?” Lin Yuanshan pleaded.

Yes, he was pleading, and there was even a hint of humility in his tone.

He now understood that the river had its ups and downs..
