Chapter 386 Treasure Girl
During the past few days, Shang Chuyao realized that Bai Lu was not a timid or cowardly person.
She has a strong ability to learn new things and possesses far more knowledge and social experience than her.
Ordinary little things could not possibly attract Bai Lu's attention, let alone startle her.
On the surface, Bai Lu seemed unharmed, but the tone of her reminder was very serious.
Shang Chuyao felt guilty and curious about what had happened to Bai Lu at Xia Yue Lake.
But with Bai Lu's earnest reminder and the police officers arriving in haste, she had no choice but to temporarily abandon her exploration.
Bai Lu replied, "Okay, I won't go. I'll go back to my dorm and wait for news."
Xiao Cheng came to pick up Bai Lu at nine o'clock, the same time as last night, but she never showed up.
There was no clock at the school gate, so he didn't know how much time had passed, only that it had been a long time.
My worries started with my first step. I entered the unfamiliar campus and wandered aimlessly in search of Bailu.
When a girl came over to talk to him, Xiao Cheng didn't want to pay attention, but then he remembered the theft case that Bai Lu had mentioned in the past few days.
Perhaps Bai Lu and Shang Chuyao went to the dormitory building, so he agreed to let a few girls lead the way.
Before they had even reached the halfway point, they saw Lin Jinfan supporting Bai Lu...
Amidst the comings and goings of people, Xiao Cheng clenched his fists, a dark storm raging in his eyes, his mind filled with rage, when suddenly a call came from afar.
“Acheng.”
The girl's voice was not as clear and melodious as usual; it was somewhat fragile and weak, like a sick little animal.
Xiao Cheng's mind, which had been dominated by rage, instantly cleared. He took a few big steps over, pulled the girl who had reached out to him back into his arms, and gently patted her back to comfort her.
Noticing that she was about to lose her balance, he immediately bent down, picked her up, and turned to leave.
Lin Jinfan withdrew his hand, which was still warm from the heat, and reminded her, "She might have a fever in the next few days, so please keep an eye on her. I will ask the instructor for leave. If it gets serious, she can rest at home for a few more days. There's no need to rush back to school."
Xiao Cheng hugged the fragile, cold little body in his arms and replied, "Thank you."
Qin Feiyu watched the imposing figure stride away, feeling as if he'd been struck by lightning: "My sister's boyfriend, is that him?"
"He is somewhat handsome, somewhat responsible, somewhat rational, somewhat considerate, and somewhat good at taking care of his younger sister... never mind..."
He admitted that, as a college student, he couldn't match the presence of a working adult.
"Thank goodness nothing serious happened. Hey! Jin Fan, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!" Qin Feiyu came to his senses and realized that the person beside him was already empty.
Lin Jinfan has already returned the way he came.
He hurriedly chased after him, saying, "Jin Fan, don't be impulsive! Strange things happen at Xia Yue Lake every year; we can't handle it!"
"Fortunately, my sister is alright. Let's wait until the theft case is over before we talk about it. Right now, we're in the eye of the storm..."
Qin Feiyu felt lingering fear when he recalled the rumors about Xia Yuehu and the cases left behind by his seniors.
And there's also the matter of White Dew tonight...
If it weren't for the fact that on the day of freshman registration, Lin Jinfan was seen by many classmates who knew Bai Lu while showing her around the campus, and they knew that Lin Jinfan and Bai Lu knew each other.
Even if their classmates see Bai Lu and Shang Chuyao going to Xia Yue Lake tonight, they won't go around telling them.
They wouldn't have known so quickly.
Summer Moon Lake is about to be stormy again.
We must protect this precious girl—Bai Lu!
"Go to the library and check where the note came from."
Qin Feiyu had just mentally prepared himself to go through fire and water for his precious younger sister when he was sent to the library.
"I'm speechless!" he exclaimed, staring intently at the gentle and refined figure before him, his gaze practically igniting sparks. "Seriously? You're so heartless!"
"Investigating at Xia Yue Lake is much more important than checking the notes at the library! So many people come and go from the library every day, it would take forever to find the notes there, it's a complete waste of time. It's much better to investigate at Xia Yue Lake."
"You're the student council president, is it really that hard for you to check a note?" Lin Jinfan's tone was always very gentle, but the question was a little loud at the end.
Qin Feiyu inexplicably sensed the risk of his authority being questioned: "Not difficult, not difficult!"
"It's a little difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, it can't stop me from going through fire and water to find out the truth for my precious sister!"
"Once I find that damned mastermind, I'll make sure he gets a good beating at Summer Moon Lake!"
...
Between the courtyard house and the modern apartment, Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng tacitly chose the modern apartment.
The city's architectural style keeps pace with the development of the new era; the new high-end apartments feature top-notch interior and exterior decoration.
The apartment building has thirteen floors, with an elevator and two apartments per floor. Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu rented an apartment on the eighth floor.
It has a living room, a bedroom, a study, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a balcony; each space is quite spacious.
The kitchen is equipped with all kinds of cooking utensils, the living room has a sofa and a TV, and the bathroom has a water heater, a bathtub, etc. All facilities are complete.
You can move in immediately with just your belongings.
The apartment was right across from the west gate of the university town, neither too far nor too close. When they got back to the apartment building, Xiao Cheng planned to go to the supermarket to buy some fever reducers, but Bai Lu said it wasn't necessary.
She wanted to get down from his arms: "Acheng, I'm fine now, let's go home."
Bai Lu wasn't actually so frightened that her legs went weak; rather, she was shaken to the point of collapse by the extraordinary shockwave generated by the collision of those two invisible forces.
I gradually recovered after leaving Summer Moon Lake.
Xiao Cheng didn't put her down. He said the medicine could be put on hold for now, but he had to bring her home safe and sound.
"bite--"
The elevator doors opened.
Bai Lu took the key out of Xiao Cheng's pocket, opened the door, and turned on the light.
Xiao Cheng changed his shoes in the entryway, and after he finished, he changed Bai Lu's shoes as well, before putting her down on the living room sofa.
On the coffee table are parameter tables for various types of machinery, ingredient lists for fruit wine, and price comparison tables for all sorts of raw materials...
The ink traced an unfinished arc on the white paper; the work wasn't finished, so the pen was put down when the time came.
Bai Lu took the warm water cup handed to her by the slender hand, took three sips, and then slowly said, "I can come back by myself from now on, you're so busy..."
"fine."
Xiao Cheng gathered the documents from the coffee table and then touched her forehead with his finger: "Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
"I'm not feeling unwell." Bai Lu smiled, put the water glass back on the coffee table, and snuggled into his arms.
He pulled out the still-warm love knot from his pocket.
Just as I was about to tell him about tonight's events, the mobile phone next to the TV cabinet rang.
Businesses span two locations, so it's essential to have a way to stay in touch and be prepared for any unexpected situations.
Receive important work reports at any time.
When the first mobile phone entered the domestic market in the 1980s, it could only make calls, not receive them. Now, in the late 1990s, it has been upgraded to be able to make and receive calls.
Bai Lu loosened the half-taken love knot, put it back in her pocket, and stepped away from Xiao Cheng's embrace.
"Go answer the phone."
Xiao Cheng actually wanted to hear what Bai Lu had to say, but the ringing was too annoying, so he had to deal with it first.
But I never expected it.
This matter cannot be resolved over the phone.
"Brother Cheng, something terrible has happened!"
