Chapter 720 The Disappearing Girl
Wen Lueyan: ...
Forgive his momentary speechlessness.
Looking at the girl, who seems to be at most the same age as him, and then looking at the uncle who looks to be more than ten years older than his parents... it really doesn't feel real.
But this is not what is more important at the moment.
Wen Lueyan pursed his lips and asked,
"Then why...are you crying after him?"
When the girl turned around, the uncle had already walked into an old residential area.
She turned back and answered in a muffled voice,
"I haven't seen him in a long time."
"We were separated for a long time, and my father has been living alone with no one to accompany him."
"You can go and accompany him,"
Wen Lueyan frowned.
"You can have a meal with him, he will definitely be happy."
The girl shook her head violently, tears falling even harder, and she mumbled something as if she was repeating to herself,
"No, no...I can't go see him..."
Hearing her voice, she seemed to be crying to death. The sobbing nasal sound fell into Wen Luyan's ears, making him frown in discomfort. He really didn't know how to comfort her.
"Forget it, I'm going to take you back to where you live now. You can't cry anymore."
As he said this, Wen Lueyan suddenly reached out his hand and hesitantly wiped the girl's face, trying to wipe away her tears.
When the boy touched the wet marks, his eyes suddenly became gentle. He wiped her face gently and asked again,
"Where do you live? I must take you home today."
The girl suddenly froze, then shook her head.
"I don't live here."
"I know. It's over there at the intersection, right? I can take you back no matter how far it is."
Wen Lueyan smiled, took the girl's wrist and prepared to walk out.
After walking a few steps, someone suddenly jumped over and put his arm around his shoulders.
"Hey Wen Lueyan! You did well on the test! Have you decided where you want to go to college?"
She is the monitor of their class and has a good relationship with him. She is considered a standard goddess in the school. She is not arrogant and has a good relationship with others. She also performed well in the college entrance examination this time.
Just as he was about to speak, he felt his wrist twitch slightly.
Feeling a little embarrassed, the boy silently let go of her hand.
It’s like being in the classroom with the girl you like and being teased by your classmates. The feeling of having someone watching you is indeed different from having no one around.
So he tried to look natural and chatted with the girl casually, preparing to turn around and introduce the girl to the class monitor.
However, in just a minute, when he turned around, there was no one around him.
The setting sun penetrated through the sky above the alley, illuminating every speck of dust in the air.
Wen Lueyan saw his own shadow stretched out on the old blue bricks. There was an open door on the side of the road, and an old man with missing teeth was sitting there, waving a palm-leaf fan.
The alley was silent, and there was no one behind him.
“…”
Wen Lueyan turned back to look at the squad leader in a daze.
"Did you see where she ran to?"
The squad leader blinked, looking even more confused than he was.
"What? Where are you running to? Who are you talking about?"
"The girl who just stood next to me."
The squad leader was stunned.
"What girl? Aren't you the only one standing here? I was wondering why you came here~"
Wen Lueyan frowned tightly, and his low murmur was filled with confusion.
"Running so fast? Is she a sports student? A fast runner?"
He looked at the wet marks on the ground that had not yet dried, pursed his lips, said goodbye to the squad leader in a hurry, and then went to look deep into the alley.
