Chapter 552 Extra - Luo Xingyou.

Quzhou City, a bright and sunny morning.

Luo Xinghe looked at Luo Xingyou, who had come home after breakfast and was lying on her body as if she had no bones, and sighed softly.

"What happened to you that caused this incident while you were out having breakfast?" Luo Xinghe tapped Luo Xingyou's forehead with her finger.

Luo Xingyou changed her position on the sofa, from "hanging on her side" to "lying flat".

Her eyes were fixed on the ceiling, then slowly turned to her older sister, her gaze filled with an indescribable mix of relief and affection.

He muttered to himself, "It's just..."

[Yes, it's so good to be able to see you like this, to be able to hear you speak... It's so good that you're still alive, sister.]

Seeing her hesitant expression, Luo Xinghe leaned closer and pinched her cheek: "What is it? Why are you stammering?"

Luo Xingyou took the opportunity to nuzzle her sister's hand and made up an excuse: "It's just... I'm a little sad because you're about to marry that guy Chen Qian!"

Luo Xinghe chuckled and gently patted her.

"What are you thinking! He just proposed. We've agreed that we'll wait until we graduate and have stable jobs before talking about marriage. It's still a long way off!"

Luo Xingyou blinked, but her mind was racing with calculations.

No, now is not the time to be coquettish. I need to take care of business first. According to my memory, the "storm" that will change everything is coming tomorrow night.

Nan Nan said they were from Nancheng, and her family used to own a chain of supermarkets. I need to get to Nancheng first to meet up with Nan Nan and the others.

Luo Xingyou's eyes lit up, and she immediately sat up, took her sister's arm, and put on a bright smile.

"Sister, I suddenly remembered that I have a half-sister in Nancheng!"

They're such good friends! It's summer vacation, the time and place are perfect, how about... we go to the south of the city for a few days? We can visit her and catch up!

Luo Xinghe was taken aback, then narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"A half-sister? I've never heard you mention her before. All your friends, I've known them all since we were kids?"

Luo Xingyou made up a story without batting an eye: "Oh, we were playmates when we were kids, wearing open-crotch pants!"

Later, her family moved to the south of the city, but they kept in touch online; their emotional bond was still there!

[Thank goodness... I've been with Brother Zhuo for so long, I can easily spout a few lies!] She thought to herself.

"Ding-dong!"

The crisp sound of the doorbell interrupted Luo Xinghe's impending further questions.

Luo Xingyou was overjoyed: [Better late than never! Heaven is helping me!]

"Sis! Stay seated! I'll go check on her!"

She shouted, sprang up from the sofa, and rushed to the entrance in three quick steps, pulling open the door.

Outside the door stood two tall men in black suits.

"Excuse me, are you Luo Xingyou, Miss Luo?" the leader asked.

"I am, and who are you?"

Luo Xingyou had a vague guess in her heart, but on the surface she remained vigilant and suspicious, and her body was slightly turned to the side, maintaining a defensive posture.

"We are from the Chi family. This is a message from my young master to you. Please take a look and confirm."

The man didn't say much, but handed over an unlocked phone with a video message displayed on the screen.

At this moment, Luo Xinghe's voice, filled with doubt, came from the living room as she got up and looked around anxiously.

"Who is Xingyou?"

Luo Xingyou immediately turned around and called out, "Sis! It's the people my half-sister sent, the ones I just told you about! I'm just going to say a few words to them!"

As she spoke, she gently closed the door behind her, then quickly took the phone and pressed play.

The phone screen lit up, and the video background was slightly noisy.

In the center of the screen, Gu Wan's eyes were red, and her voice was filled with suppressed excitement and sobs.

"Xingyou! It's me, Wanwan! The person who came to find you was arranged by Brother Yan. You can go with him without worry, he's absolutely reliable!"

We're at the airport now, about to board our flight. We'll wait for you in Nancheng, and we'll talk when we meet!

No sooner had she finished speaking than He Zhuo, sporting a head of dazzling red hair, squeezed in from behind Gu Wan and started shouting at the camera.

"Xingyou! Did you hear me! Stop dawdling! Pack your things now! Someone's taken care of the plane tickets! Our family is going to have a big reunion in Nancheng! Hurry up!"

Behind him were several others offering brief greetings and urging him on...

At the end of the video, Gu Wan leaned closer and said quickly, "Xingyou, we're boarding now, see you in Nancheng!"

Luo Xingyou's fingers tightened slightly as she gripped her phone.

Her lips curled up uncontrollably, widening into a wide grin, and her eyes flashed with an astonishingly bright light—a sense of relief that her long-suspended heart had finally found its footing, and an exhilarating joy at learning that all her companions had returned.

[As expected... everyone is back!] This realization was like a warm current, instantly dispelling all the fear and loneliness that had been building up in my heart after waking up alone.

"Miss Luo." The man in the suit at the door spoke at the right moment, his tone respectful.

"We have already booked your and your sister's tickets for the next direct flight to Nancheng."

We're heading to the airport now; the timing should be roughly in line with when the young master and his group get off the plane.

Furthermore, the young master specifically instructed me to tell you that Miss Nan Nan and Young Master Ono will be waiting for you at Nancheng Airport, so please rest assured.

Luo Xingyou nodded, and just as she was about to speak, the door behind her was fully opened.

Luo Xinghe came out, her gaze sweeping over the two obviously well-trained "bodyguards" at the door with a slightly scrutinizing look, then she looked at her younger sister with a slight frown.

"Xingyou," she lowered her voice, pulling Luo Xingyou closer to her, and gesturing towards the door, "Who are these two...?"

Luo Xingyou immediately put on a relaxed expression and affectionately took her sister's arm.

"Oh, sis! This is the sister I was telling you about! My sister's family is indeed... well, quite well-off!"

She's very thoughtful. She was worried about the safety of the two of us girls traveling alone, so she specially arranged for someone to pick us up and even booked our plane tickets for us!

Look how thoughtful and considerate!

The doubt on Luo Xinghe's face did not dissipate; instead, it deepened.

She pulled Luo Xingyou to her side and whispered, "You've already booked the plane tickets? Which of your childhood friends could afford this kind of entourage?"

"I have absolutely no recollection of this. Luo Xingyou, tell me the truth, what exactly is going on?"

"Sister!" Luo Xingyou grabbed her sister's hand tightly.

"They are really good friends! You can think of them as family that I chose myself."

It's just that kind of really, really good! Look, they've already arrived at the door, and their thoughtfulness and schedule are all perfectly arranged.

If we keep being so hesitant, wouldn't that be incredibly disrespectful and impolite? Just think of it as...a surprise trip!

Before Luo Xinghe could ask any more questions, she immediately turned to the two "bodyguards" who were patiently waiting at the door.

"Please wait a little while, my sister and I will go in and quickly pack a few things. We'll be right there!"

After saying that, she practically dragged and carried the doubtful Luo Xinghe back into the house.

As soon as she entered the door, Luo Xingyou immediately let go of her sister: "Sister! My dear sister! Please trust me just this once!"

It's really nothing! She's truly a very, very good friend of mine! Let's hurry up and get ready, so we don't keep her waiting.

My friend was already waiting for us at the airport.

"I'm flying both ways, there won't be any problems."
