Chapter 199: Chapter 197: Dumping a Body in the River

Fang Yi didn’t try to stop those boys, coincidentally he had a bottle of mineral water in his hand.

The girl didn’t cry, but simply sat there, somewhat distracted. Fang Yi saw her take out a book from her backpack, opened it, and began reading silently where she sat.

It was only when Fang Yi approached that the little girl noticed him. She looked up to see Fang Yi, a stranger, with bright, spirited eyes. When she saw the bottle of mineral water in Fang Yi’s hand, she swallowed hard.

"What’s your name?" Fang Yi asked with a smile.

"Lin Lin," the girl said with emphasis, "the Lin of forests, and the Lin of a myriad of beautiful things."

"Your grades must be very good," Fang Yi said smiling.

"Of course." Lin Lin’s somewhat dirty face showed a proud expression, one that children have when they’ve done something remarkable.

Fang Yi walked over, not minding the dirt and mess, and sat down beside the girl, then handed her the bottle of mineral water.

"Thank you."

Lin Lin said politely and then opened the cap to drink. She didn’t drink quickly or slowly, showing no signs of being thirsty, clearly suppressing her own urge.

The sun beat down fiercely, and the place—a garbage dump—smelled awful, no one would choose to be here. But Lin Lin could stand it, and Fang Yi saw that her burlap sack was filled with a lot of empty drink bottles.

Fang Yi glanced at the book in her hands, it was a Chinese language textbook.

"Does it taste good?" Fang Yi asked.

"Very good."

"Aren’t you afraid that I’m a bad person, and I put drugs in the water?"

"I’m not afraid."
