Lu Yanchen took Zhang Qiang back to the tent and gave him a lesson, ordering him to reflect on his actions and apologize to Gu Ling early tomorrow morning.

Soon, the island quieted down, with only the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves and the quiet movements of some small animals sneaking by.

Everyone fell into a deep sleep. The pain in Lu Yanchen's leg throbbed faintly, making it difficult for him to sleep as usual.

In a daze, he heard his father's stern reprimand, "Marriage is a significant matter arranged by parents. The girls we choose are all top-notch! What are you dissatisfied with?"

 In the dream, he challenged his father with a stiff neck, "All top-notch? Is she a celestial being? Even if she is, I won't want her if I don't like her!"

As soon as the words fell, a girl lowered her head and walked out from behind his father. Lu Yanchen looked over indifferently, but when the girl lifted her head, he was stunned.

The girl was fair and lively, like an orchid in the snow. Her clear eyes were as transparent as a lake. Surprisingly, it was Gu Ling!

Beside him, his father snorted, "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?"

Lu Yanchen was in a daze, his mouth seemingly sewn shut. In the next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, drenched in sweat, realizing it was just a dream!

He slapped his own face a couple of times, exhaled deeply, and then closed his eyes again to continue sleeping.

In a distant small town, Gu Ya tossed and turned.

Her heart was disheartened, lying in bed, recalling the events of the past few days.

That day, in her dream, she altered the plot using moonstone. She thought about having a wild buffalo collide with Gu Ling. A buffalo raised in the woods – even if Gu Ling was a tough person, could she withstand such a collision?

The next day, upon waking up, she was extremely cautious, shielding her face, afraid of receiving another slap.

To her surprise, Gu Ling's best friend, Lin Huining, showed up at her doorstep!

Lin Huining's father and Gu Ya's mother-in-law were old classmates. Lin Huining first respectfully called her "Auntie" and then coldly questioned Gu Ya, "Gu Ling went to the remote island as an educated youth for you. Why did she go in your place? You know it in your heart! She is now working hard to build our country on a remote island, but I heard rumors in our small town, people are talking bad about Gu Ling. Some say she went to the island because she got pregnant from messing around with a guy, and couldn't survive if she didn't become an educated youth! This talk spread all over the place, I inquired everywhere, finally found the source, I really didn't expect, it's you, Gu Ya, this statue of Buddha spreading it, do you still have a conscience?!"

Thinking about how Gu Ling lost her mother at a young age and now has been schemed to go to the island by her step-sister. What kind of place is that island? Exposed to the wind and sun, Gu Ling has been gone for a month or two with no phone call or letter!

Several times, Lin Huining worried about Gu Ling, dreaming that she was suffering and getting thinner over there, and waking up, she couldn't help but want to cry!

When she heard someone slandering Gu Ling, she relentlessly questioned each person, and finally traced the rumors back to their source.

Gu Ya's face changed, quickly denying, "I didn't! When did I say that?"

But on the side, Yu Mingxin gritted his teeth and said, "It's the truth, can't people say it?"

Bringing up the time when Gu Ling rejected him and kicked him in a sensitive area, Yu Mingxin was furious! He wouldn't have done that if there was nobody else around Gu Ling!
