Chapter 32: Show More Tolerance and Kindness to Girls

“Y-Your Highness…” Jiang Beishan stammered in shock upon seeing Yin Hanyu. “Your Highness… why… why are you here?”

Yin Hanyu didn’t even glance at Jiang Beishan. Instead, his gaze landed on Lin Qingyou, who was dressed lightly. His brows furrowed. “Why are you wearing so little?”

Lin Qingyou was dressed like a typical female university student today—her hair was tied up in a high bun, paired with a simple white shirt and high-waisted jeans.

Despite the simplicity, her outfit exuded an extraordinary sense of competence and vitality.

Her fair skin and delicate features stood out even more against her minimalistic attire.

“This isn’t much,” Lin Qingyou replied with a playful smile. “Besides… I have a livestream later. Wearing less looks better on camera.”

Yin Hanyu: “…”

He let out a helpless yet doting smile, took off his coat, and gently draped it over her shoulders.

Jiang Beishan’s parents, watching the intimate interaction between Yin Hanyu and Lin Qingyou, were stunned.

What was going on?

Weren’t these two supposed to be sworn enemies?

Didn’t Lin Qingyou hate Yin Hanyu the most?

Wasn’t Yin Hanyu always the one making her life difficult?

Weren’t they supposed to fight the moment they saw each other?

Why were they acting so close now?

“Your Highness… why are you suddenly here?”

When Yin Hanyu looked back at Jiang Beishan, his gaze lost all the tenderness it held for Lin Qingyou.

He spoke coldly, “Publicly, I am a witness. Privately, I am her boyfriend.”

Then, he quickly added, “Her soon-to-be husband.”

“W-What?” Jiang Beishan’s father was dumbfounded. “Witness? What witness? Isn’t Leng Yifeng the witness?”

Jiang Zhuocheng had told him from prison that he had attempted to assault Lin Qingyou but hadn’t succeeded, meaning there was still a good chance he could be released.

After all, Lin Qingyou had been rescued.

Moreover, Jiang Zhuocheng had suggested asking Leng Yifeng for help, claiming that Leng Yifeng was on their side.

Jiang Beishan’s father had naturally assumed that Leng Yifeng was the one who had saved Lin Qingyou.

After all, Leng Yifeng and Lin Qingyou had always been inseparable.

And since Jiang Zhuocheng and Leng Yifeng were close, it was unlikely that Leng Yifeng would testify against Jiang Zhuocheng in court.

So, their plan was to pressure Lin Qingyou into backing down.

But now…

Jiang Beishan’s father felt like his mind was buzzing in chaos.

By the time the trial began, his legs were trembling.

Inside the courtroom, with undeniable evidence presented, the legal team hired by the Jiang family became nothing more than a laughingstock. None of them could utter a single word.

The video evidence provided by Lin Qingyou was crystal clear.

When she handed the camera over to the judge, she even specifically requested that the video be played in court.

“Are you sure?” The judge looked at Lin Qingyou solemnly. “Miss Lin, this is your private matter—it’s your trauma. We should be protecting you—”

“I don’t need protection,” Lin Qingyou interrupted. “Or rather, only by exposing everything that happened to me can I truly reclaim my innocence.”

The judge contemplated her words before nodding.

“Alright, we will respect your wishes.”

The moment the video played, it caused an uproar across the internet.

“Damn, Lin Qingyou looks stunning in this video. She’s dressed like a goddess—no wonder Jiang Zhuocheng had evil intentions.”

“Disgusting. So you’re saying being pretty means she deserves to be assaulted?”

“Lin Qingyou is incredible! The way she slapped Jiang Zhuocheng—I felt so satisfied!”

“There’s such a huge gap in strength between men and women… Even though Lin Qingyou knows martial arts, she was still overpowered.”

“Oh my god, the look of despair on her face when she was pinned down—someone, save her! Bastard, don’t you dare tear her clothes! Stay away from our angel!”

“Wait… it was His Highness who saved her?!”

“Oh my god, he literally smashed that bastard’s head—so badass I feel weak in the knees.”

“See that? That’s the fate of a rapist—beaten to a pulp and thrown away like garbage.”

“Someone, hug our poor traumatized angel! She looks so broken…”

“AHHHH, His Highness hugged her! He hugged her!”

“At this moment, if I were Lin Qingyou, I’d definitely fall for Yin Hanyu. He’s literally a hero descending on a cloud.”

“Wait… What did I just see? Lin Qingyou slapped His Highness and told him to get lost?!”

“WTF?! What happened? Why did the screen go black?!”

The video cut off abruptly.

But the entire livestream audience and netizens went crazy, begging to see the rest of the footage.

Lin Qingyou herself was dazed and emotional when she watched the video.

Because… that was her past life.

Why had she slapped Yin Hanyu and told him to leave back then?

Because she couldn’t accept that he had seen her at her most vulnerable moment.

Later, when she calmed down, she went to apologize to Yin Hanyu.

And that was when the events leading to her rebirth took place—a moment so intense that it would have needed heavy censorship.

Lin Qingyou tightened her grip on Yin Hanyu’s hand. “I’m sorry…”

“I’m sorry, too,” Yin Hanyu said in return.

He had owed her an apology for what happened afterward.

The trial ended.

As soon as Lin Qingyou stepped out of the courtroom, she was surrounded by reporters eager for an interview.

Immediately, the livestream audience erupted in outrage.

“Are these reporters even human? Interviewing her now is basically feeding off her suffering.”

“Are you surprised? Half an hour ago, the entire internet was slandering, humiliating, and cyberbullying Lin Qingyou.”

“Can all the people who attacked Lin Qingyou apologize now?”

“God, Lin Qingyou is so strong. If I were in her shoes, I would have jumped off a building from all the cyberbullying.”

“Her real strength is in how boldly she made this public. With the current public outrage, that scumbag Jiang Zhuocheng is doomed.”

“Absolutely. If he gets anything less than a life sentence, we’ll tear down the police station and the court ourselves!”

Thousands of netizens flooded the police and court’s social media pages, demanding the harshest punishment for Jiang Zhuocheng.

At the scene, Lin Qingyou took the microphone from a reporter. Before they could ask their questions, she spoke first.

“I refuse to be interviewed,” she stated. “But I would like to use this moment to say a few words to all the girls out there.”

“Since this incident began, I’ve received a lot of malice. But I’ve also received a lot of kindness and comfort.”

Her loved ones, her family, and her friends had all stood by her side, supporting her in every possible way.

“There have been many voices online—now, many people are apologizing to me, saying they wronged me.”

“To that, I want to say—I don’t need any apologies. All I hope for is that anyone who sees what happened to me can learn something from it.”

“I hope this society can show more tolerance and kindness to girls.”
