Chapter 211 - 210: Running Away from Home (6)
Ji Xinxin immediately sensed something was off with Ling Chuxia; she paused and without asking anything, simply stated, "Address."

Shi Che knew that whenever Ling Chuxia was unhappy, she would run to the school because it was the happiest and freest place for her, free from Mrs. Shi’s control and the oppressive atmosphere of the Shi family. She didn’t have to act like a proper young lady or suppress herself.
Back then, he could always find her at school, sitting alone. He would slowly approach her, sit with her, and when her mood improved, he would take her home.
Thinking this, Shi Che stepped on the accelerator all the way to the floor, his car speeding towards the school.
When Shi Che arrived at the school gates, the school had long been closed, swallowed in darkness. He stopped the car and made his way to the side of the schoolyard where there was a shorter wall that students often climbed over. Ling Chuxia had climbed it many times before... and then, he too was led astray.
Shi Che braced his hands against the wall and deftly climbed over.

Ji Xinxin pulled up to the milk tea shop to find Ling Chuxia alone, curled up in a corner with darkness all around her, hugging her knees, her gaze empty, looking forlorn like an abandoned kitten, exceptionally pitiable.
