Jiang Yue pulled Yao Hua along and quickly followed.
They didn't approach, but quietly and unhurriedly followed Jiang Xue and the others.
Before long, Jiang Yue and Yao Hua saw Jiang Xue and the other two quietly climb up the tree and then climb into a window on the second floor.
What are they doing here?
Yao Hua looked out the second-floor window, frowning as she asked.
"Go up and take a look, and you'll find out."
Jiang Yue was no stranger to climbing trees. When she was a child, the orphanage she lived in was in poor condition and she often didn't have enough to eat. So Jiang Yue would often run out to climb trees on the back mountain to pick wild fruits to eat.
"Go up?"
Yao Hua looked at Jiang Yue shyly, "Yueyue, I...I can't climb up."
She can't climb trees.
"It's okay, wait for me here, I'll be down soon."
Jiang Yue didn't want Yao Hua to go up; she would go up and take a look herself. As she spoke, Jiang Yue began to hug the tree and start climbing.
Yao Hua was stunned by her nimble movements.
She genuinely had no idea that Yueyue was such a good tree climber.
Soon, Jiang Yue climbed to the second floor and easily climbed in through the window.
Upon entering, Jiang Yue discovered that this place was actually a storage area for books.
Jiang Yue didn't bring a flashlight, and it was quite dark inside. She squatted by the window for a while to adjust before she could barely see anything.
Besides the books, Jiang Yue could also hear Jiang Xue talking to others inside the room.
Jiang Yue quietly went over and saw Jiang Xue and a classmate hiding in a corner, covered with a black cloth, which blocked the light of their flashlights.
Jiang Xue was still telling others, "I read this book last time, I'm going to exchange it for another one."
As soon as his head emerged from the black cloth, he saw Jiang Yue standing not far away. Jiang Xue's eyes widened, and he was so frightened that he almost screamed.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and covered his mouth.
"Sis, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Xue ran to Jiang Yue's side and asked in a low voice.
"Of course I came with you."
Jiang Yue grabbed his hand and hid out of the window, asking him softly, "Is this what you've been busy with lately?"
"Can't we read books openly and honestly?"
They have to act furtively, like thieves.
Jiang Xue explained in a low voice, his tone somewhat ingratiating.
"Sister, it's not that we don't want to look at it openly, it's just that this library is not open to the public at all, and there is no book management inside. We can only come and look at it secretly at night."
They don't dare come during the day, for fear of being discovered.
...
downstairs.
Lu Jingnian, who came looking for Jiang Yue, searched for quite a while before finally finding Yao Hua waiting downstairs.
"Commander Lu."
Upon seeing Lu Jingnian, Yao Hua felt guilty and almost fell over.
It was only thanks to Lu Jingnian's kindness that Yao Hua was pulled back from the brink of falling.
"Where is Yueyue?"
Why are you here all alone?
Lu Jingnian asked.
Yao Hua pursed her lips and pointed to the window on the second floor.
Lu Jingnian: "..."
Meeting Lu Jingnian's frowning and puzzled look, Yao Hua explained, "Yueyue followed Jiang Xue and climbed the tree to that room on the second floor."
What are they going there for?
Lu Jingnian asked, "If we climb the tree, won't Jiang Yue be afraid of falling?"
The second floor is quite high up.
"I don't know. We came here with Jiang Xue. Yueyue saw Jiang Xue go up and thought we should go up and take a look."
Yao Hua continued to explain.
She had just finished speaking when she saw two people walking over from not far away; they looked like they were from the school's security department.
Lu Jingnian watched the other person walk this way, then turned to Yao Hua and said, "Go wait over there, don't come over."
After saying that, he walked towards that person.
Yao Hua didn't know what had happened, but she obediently ran to another place to wait.
However, from her position, she could still see what was happening here.
Soon, she saw Battalion Commander Lu follow the two men into the building.
...
On the second floor, in the library.
Jiang Yue was talking to Jiang Xue when she suddenly heard footsteps getting closer and closer outside. She immediately covered Jiang Xue's mouth and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Someone's coming."
Jiang Xue immediately shut his mouth and listened carefully to the sounds outside.
Upon hearing footsteps, Jiang Xue immediately turned around to find his classmate.
"Stop looking, someone's coming, let's go."
The footsteps outside grew closer.
Fortunately, Jiang Xue's two classmates reacted quickly, immediately packed their things and ran towards the window.
"Sis, you go down first."
At this moment, Jiang Xue's first thought was of Jiang Yue.
"You guys go down first. I'm faster than you, so I'll keep an eye on things for you."
Jiang Yue didn't waste any more time with Jiang Xue and pushed him to get down quickly.
The branches of the tree outside extend right here; they're quite thick, and one person could easily climb them, which is why Jiang Yue was able to get up so easily.
Urged on relentlessly, Jiang Xue had no choice but to go downstairs to avoid wasting time.
Behind him were his two classmates.
When Jiang Yue arrived, she had already heard the door to the library being opened.
"I'll go look over here, you guys go look over there."
The voice coming from the doorway made Jiang Yue stiffen; it was Lu Jingnian's voice.
And judging from his voice, it was coming towards us.
When Jiang Yue went out the window, she had already seen Lu Jingnian's figure.
Lu Jingnian arrived quickly. When he reached the window, he saw Jiang Yue climbing down the tree trunk with the agility of a monkey.
Not only did the girl go downstairs, but she also raised an eyebrow at him provocatively.
Lu Jingnian: "..." He had worried for nothing.
Is anyone here?
The other two people quickly walked over to Lu Jingnian.
Lu Jingnian had already closed the window and shook his head. "I didn't see anyone. I did see tree branches hitting the window earlier, so I opened the window."
That's probably why you heard the noise here.
As he finished speaking, the branches outside were blown by the wind and hit the windowsill with a crisp sound.
Upon hearing the voice, the two nodded simultaneously, "It sounds like that voice."
Seeing that they were starting to believe him, Lu Jingnian immediately changed the subject, looking at the room full of books and asking them, "Why are there so many books here?"
The two explained, "This is an abandoned library in the school. The books inside have been left unorganized and are just sitting here."
"It's such a waste to just leave so many books here."
After Lu Jingnian finished speaking, he smiled and said to the two of them, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
"Thank you so much for tonight."
They didn't know Lu Jingnian's identity; they only knew that he had come to pick up students from night school and was kindly helping them.
"You're welcome."
Lu Jingnian went downstairs and soon saw Jiang Yue with Yao Hua.
"Honey, I miss you so much."
When Jiang Yue saw Lu Jingnian, she immediately rushed over and hugged him, whispering in his ear, "Shall we talk about it when we get home?"
