Because of Zhou Jianshe's words, Lin Anning didn't sleep well all night.
She grew up with her grandfather in White Crane Village since she was little, always sickly and prone to illness.
She never really had a proper education, being homeschooled by her grandfather, and never had playmates of her own age.
At the age of 9, the elder Mr. Huo, her grandfather's comrade-in-arms, and his family were sent down to White Crane Village.
She then had a few playmates, but most of the Huo Family's younger generation looked down on her to some extent.
The only exception was 14-year-old Huo Shen, who was different from them.
He always kept to himself, never joined the others in mocking her, and sometimes defended her when Huo Wenchang and the others bullied her.
Her grandfather was a doctor and often had to leave home at a moment's notice to tend to patients miles away.
Usually gone for a couple of days at a time, Huo Shen took on most of the responsibility for watching over her.
