Chapter 1237 The Returnee's Notes 311
The last time the two met was on the lakeside corridor at the school, and the north gate was just ahead from there.
When Luo Ying saw Xie Ning waiting in front of her, she unconsciously touched her face, where there was an ugly scar, caused by the Gu worm in her body before, and also the retribution for the bad intentions she shouldn't have had.
She wasn't someone who cared much about appearance, but every time this scar was touched, she would think of the thing that cut off her path in life, that choice...
The person interrogating her said she could ask the police for help or seek assistance from relevant departments, but how would she know anything about any special departments?
She was just an ordinary college student. When faced with something that was outside the realm of science, all she could do was feel fear. The police were just ordinary people too, so how could they possibly help her?
Moreover, that person did not give her a chance to ask for help.
She coveted that money, but it was also her only option.
When Luo Ying saw Xie Ning again, she didn't dare to look Xie Ning in the eye. She knew that Xie Ning was the most innocent person. She was greedy and selfish, but her sense of morality kept condemning her.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Ying dragged her suitcase to Xie Ning and said, "Ning, I'm sorry."
She had been referring to Xie Ning as "Classmate Xie" to herself, trying to reassure herself that Xie Ning was just a classmate, someone she had no connection with, in order to put her mind at ease.
What do you plan to do in the future?
Upon hearing Xie Ning's question, Luo Ying's heart tightened, and her knuckles turned white as she gripped the suitcase handle.
"If I'm lucky, I'll become an accountant." She's good at math.
“If that’s the case… then I’ll go to the factory. I have to survive.” As she said this, Luo Ying forced a smile, but it was tinged with bitterness.
The mother was in a daze, unaware of the passage of time, and didn't even recognize her own daughter. The family members also had a lot of opinions about her. After years of nurturing, she failed to grow into a strong tree that sheltered the family from the wind and rain, and instead became a burden.
Overwhelmed by intense self-blame, Luo Ying felt suffocated.
She used to think that even if she couldn't continue her studies for a master's or doctoral degree, she could still get a degree from a top university. But now that she's been expelled, she only has a high school diploma.
Luo Ying didn't mention her fiancé, who had previously handed out wedding candy and said he wanted to get married, in a single word.
They already had many conflicts before, both regarding their future and their families, so now it's even more impossible.
He broke up with her while she was still in the hospital bed.
Perhaps because she was mentally prepared, Luo Ying wasn't too sad, even though it was her boyfriend of five years.
When we are young, innocent boys and girls always dream of beautiful love, but when they grow up, they realize that love is the most elusive thing.
Adults only make choices based on self-interest; they're not that pure.
For her, survival was the first priority before she could contemplate spiritual matters and seek a sliver of spiritual pleasure.
"Isn't that a real shame?"
Luo Ying looked into Xie Ning's eyes, making sure he wasn't mocking her, before turning her head away and saying somewhat forlornly, "It's all the same."
How can they be the same?
Xie Ning handed over a card and a key, saying, "You can go to this place and think about it. If you like it, come back to me."
Luo Ying was a little stunned, not understanding Xie Ning's meaning, but she subconsciously went to the address written on Xie Ning's card. It was a studio of about 200 square meters. Some of the equipment on it was familiar to her, but most of it was unfamiliar to her.
Having vaguely understood Xie Ning's meaning, Luo Ying made a phone call to Xie Ning with trembling hands.
