Ch. 172 - To Give Up This Moment for an Uncertain Future
'I'm seeing a ghost in broad daylight.'
When the one true god of Senior Year, Class 1, homeroom teacher Li Juanfang entered the classroom, she once again saw Xia Yeshuang sitting there quietly.
She silently looked out the window, her golden curly hair like a little princess from a fairy tale.
Strange.
So strange.
Li Juanfang muttered in her heart. For this entire week, Xia Yeshuang had actually come to the classroom every day.
You have to know that it wasn't a strange thing for this person, Xia Yeshuang, to not come to school for a week before.
Li Juanfang thought for a moment, wondering if she should contact Xia Yeshuang's parents to perform an exorcism for the child.
'Whoever you are, get off of my student's body right now!'
But thinking is thinking. If she really said it out loud, then CEO Xia would definitely point at her nose and curse her for being a psycho.
Forget it, forget it.
More trouble is not as good as less trouble. How could these young ladies and young masters need her to worry?
Li Juanfang put away her thoughts and began to teach.
...
At noon, after class.
Xia Yeshuang returned to the piano room in a daze.
Creak.
She pushed open the door of the piano room.
When she saw a figure on the piano stool, Xia Yeshuang's dim eyes lit up with surprise.
"Hi, Shuangshuang."
Zhao Yeye raised her hand to greet her, but then saw Xia Yeshuang's face darken, and she sullenly sat down on the sofa.
'No, sister.'
Can your disgust be any more obvious?
Even if I'm not Lu Xing, you don't have to be so hurtful.
What kind of person!
Before Zhao Yeye could speak, Xia Yeshuang's tears were already falling down with a plop, plop.
Aiyo, holy crap!
Zhao Yeye's temper vanished. She quickly sat over and asked.
"He still hasn't come today?"
"It's not that I'm saying it, but since you saw that book, that stinking kid Lu Xing has never come to school again."
Enlightenment.
What's the fucking use of enlightenment? The person is fucking gone!
"You..."
Xia Yeshuang sobbed and wiped her tears, her long eyelashes hung with trembling teardrops.
"He's not some stinking kid."
Zhao Yeye: ...
There's no hope, really.
Just tell Old Man Xia to have another small account.
Oh, no.
Old Man Xia's small accounts are already enough for a 5v5 canyon battle.
Zhao Yeye scratched her head in frustration. She had really never seen such a difficult man.
"I went to ask the homeroom teacher for Lu Xing's address, but it turns out the kid gave a fake address. He doesn't live there at all."
"I told you to call the parent's number he left, but you wouldn't."
Anyway, after messing around with Xia Yeshuang for so long, Zhao Yeye was busy every day, but she didn't know what she was busy with.
Heaven and earth as her witness.
She had thought of all the methods she could think of. Who could she blame if the person didn't come!
Hearing Zhao Yeye's words, Xia Yeshuang wiped her tears even more pitifully.
She also wanted to call.
It's one thing for Lu Xing to block her messages. She had actually secretly called the parent's number Lu Xing had left.
The result was that it was that CEO Wen who answered.
She had only heard Wen Lingxiu say "hello" two words before she had directly hung up the phone.
What else is there to say?
Lu Xing is at Wen Lingxiu's place.
But the key is, she simply doesn't know where Wen Lingxiu's home is.
With Wen Lingxiu's status, it's one thing that her residence is hard to find, but also under layers of security. She simply can't get in.
Thinking of this, Xia Yeshuang felt even more wronged, and tears fell down with a plop, plop.
Zhao Yeye watched this little crybaby, feeling terrible. So she said, throwing caution to the wind.
"How about you ask your dad to investigate? He can definitely find out the whereabouts of this kid."
A pampered little princess like Xia Yeshuang, she only had money in her hand. She had no other channels to do things.
"No."
Xia Yeshuang immediately rejected this method.
"If my dad finds out about this, he will definitely go after Lu Xing. How could he help me find him?"
Zhao Yeye: ...
Ahhhhh!
"This won't work, and that won't work."
Why is it so difficult!
Zhao Yeye's inner strategist came out, spouting nothing but bad ideas.
"How about you just wait for the rabbit? I don't believe it. Will he not come to school during the exams?"
"At that time, you can just drug him and throw him in the basement."
Xia Yeshuang was stunned, her exquisite eyes staring at Zhao Yeye in a daze.
Seeing Xia Yeshuang's speechless look, Zhao Yeye panicked instantly and frantically waved her hands.
"I-I'm just kidding. Don't you dare do that. It's against the law. This is a society ruled by law!!!"
Xia Yeshuang still didn't speak, just quietly staring in one direction.
Zhao Yeye completely collapsed.
This young lady's brain is not working well in the first place.
If she really listened to her words and threw Lu Xing into the basement, wouldn't that be a fucking sin?
"Shuangshuang, listen to me. We are in a society ruled by law now. If you have a problem, you can't use such a simple and crude... uh, what are you looking at?"
Zhao Yeye followed Xia Yeshuang's gaze and only saw a reflective mirror opposite.
Xia Yeshuang said in a daze.
"I'm so beautiful when I cry. Take a picture for me."
Zhao Yeye: ???
Chao!
What a waste of emotion!
While Zhao Yeye was reluctantly taking pictures for Xia Yeshuang, Xia Yeshuang's heart was in turmoil.
Isn't this Lu Xing's most common way of changing the subject?
Only now, when she used the same method as Lu Xing, did she suddenly discover...
At what high level was Lu Xing looking down on her at that time?
No wonder Lu Xing had given her a game anti-addiction reminder at the very beginning of the contract.
Lu Xing had long known that she would become addicted, didn't he?
These few days, besides waiting for Lu Xing at school, Xia Yeshuang had repeatedly read the passage from Lu Xing's book.
Isn't it just that Lu Xing doesn't believe that she likes him?
Isn't it just that Lu Xing thinks she only likes his good side?
Isn't it just that Lu Xing is worried that his weaknesses and flaws are not lovable enough?
Xia Yeshuang stared at the photo she had just taken.
Lu Xing, you don't even give me a chance. How can you know that I only like your good side?
To give up this moment for an uncertain future.
'On what grounds?'
Xia Yeshuang's gaze gradually became firm. On what grounds do you so domineeringly make the decision?
This is not fair, Lu Xing.
Perhaps Zhao Yeye was right.
For a person like you, who seems fearless but actually refuses to start just to avoid risks, a strong dose of medicine is needed.
If you really have a clear conscience, why don't you dare to come to school and see me?
Xia Yeshuang lowered her gaze and snorted.
I've already kissed you.
I don't care what you think. Anyway, I must be responsible for you!
Xia Yeshuang touched the remaining tears on her face.
Just you wait.
As long as I see you...
However much I cry now, I will definitely make you shed the same amount of tears then!
