Jiang Hehe's expression was calm, showing neither anger nor joy. Her long, narrow eyes were clear and bright, with distinct black and white.
Yang Huanhuan was stunned for a few seconds. She hadn't seen him with this expression in a long time; it was just like when they first met.
"Huanhuan, I'm leaving. My flight is tomorrow, to America." Jiang Hehe forced a smile, but couldn't manage it.
"I didn't want to bother you, but I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but I ran into you here."
Yang Huanhuan bit her lower lip. She still had a glimmer of hope. Although Jiang Hehe had fallen out with her, he still showed up at school every day. Would he one day, due to some opportunity, listen to her again and be willing to save her from her predicament?
Now he says he's leaving tomorrow, and they'll be separated by thousands of miles across the ocean; even the physical distance between them has increased.
America, huh? Yang Huanhuan laughed at herself. She didn't even have a passport. Lingnan was the farthest place she had ever been in her life.
They weren't from the same world before, and they're even less so now.
Yang Huanhuan regretted it; he was right there within her reach!
Jiang Hehe turned her gaze away and said to the surrounding darkness, "Goodbye."
Jiang Hehe left without looking back, ignoring Yang Huanhuan's uncontrollable sobbing behind her.
He didn't come to say goodbye to Yang Huanhuan; he came to say goodbye to his dead feelings.
Although it wasn't pleasant or beautiful, it was a truly etched experience in my life.
The next morning, without Si Xingzhu's legs supporting him, Xu Zhe was finally able to sleep a little longer.
To my surprise, just after seven o'clock, my phone rang loudly.
Xu Zhe hurriedly answered the call, afraid of disturbing others.
Liang Shaojie?!
"Can you get in touch with Bei Xiaoyu?!"
Xu Zhe frowned, annoyed by Liang Shaojie's loud and boisterous voice.
"She went back to her hometown."
What? Didn't I tell you? My boyfriend is still on probation and hasn't been officially hired yet!
Liang Shaojie said anxiously, "But after returning to our hometown, we couldn't contact her! She didn't let me know she got home safely! Her phone has been switched off ever since!"
Xu Zhe was still half asleep when he was yelled at, and his heart started pounding. This guy is toxic! Can't his phone run out of battery?! Can't he just turn it off?!
"She's only been home for one night~ Young Master Liang, can you not be so nervous?"
"Isn't that long?! Fourteen hours! Bei Xiaoyu has been out of contact for a full fourteen hours!" Liang Shaojie shouted, his voice cracking.
Xu Zhe got angry: "Do you know how many days your brother has been missing? You haven't gone crazy in all this time, your brotherly bond is truly as deep as the sea!"
Liang Shaojie: "......"
“He’s… Xu Zhe, don’t worry, Zheng Xi will be fine.”
Xu Zhe's patience with him had run out, and he hung up the phone.
Su Nan's phone rang again. After a while, she climbed off the bed and lifted Xu Zhe's bed curtains.
"Bei Xiaoyu has gone missing. Liang Shaojie is waiting for us at the West Gate. Let's pack up and go with him."
"Huh?!" Xu Zhe snapped out of his daze. "Where did we go with him?"
"Bei Xiaoyu's hometown".
"What?!" She was truly speechless!
Su Nan went to call Si Xingzhu again; wherever Xu Zhe went, this guy would definitely follow.
The three of them quickly washed up and, urged on by Liang Shaojie's phone calls every two minutes, rushed towards the west gate of the school.
Once in the car, I saw that Young Master Liang in the back seat looked completely slumped over, as if his wife had been kidnapped.
Xu Zhe was too lazy to talk to him; in her mind, Liang Shaojie was practically a lunatic.
Upon arriving at the destination, the scene before him made Xu Zhe even more convinced that Liang Shaojie was more than just a lunatic!
He actually deployed a helicopter, intending to fly directly to Bei Xiaoyu's carrot farm?!
"Which romance novel inspired you?! Real life doesn't need crazy, domineering CEOs!" Xu Zhe was speechless; this was making a mountain out of a molehill!
Aren't those NPCs human?! Why should they act in those melodramatic CEO dramas for free?!
Liang Shaojie gave Xu Zhe a cold, gloomy, and distant look, perfectly conveying the displeasure of a domineering CEO.
Su Nan followed him onto the plane, and Si Xingzhu grabbed Xu Zhe and desperately pushed him forward: "Hurry, hurry! If you're slow, the window seats will be gone!"
The two NPCs were very cooperative, but Xu Zhe was not very willing.
It wasn't until she landed in the open space outside Bei Xiaoyu's village and inquired around that she realized there was a real problem!
"Oh my! That little girl Xiaoyu is something else! Her parents died early, and her uncle raised her with great difficulty. She flew away from us to study, and she's already gone astray!"
Xu Zhe frowned: "How did you become bad?"
The elderly folks sitting at the village entrance, having a lively discussion, all contributed their intelligence:
"The girl was too pretty; she got seduced by bad men and didn't even study properly!"
"She wasn't seduced by bad men; she just didn't study properly and instead chose to seduce men!"
Su Nan was furious: "Why are you saying this about her! She got first place in the grade in the midterm exam, she's the best student, why are you saying she doesn't study hard!"
The elderly couple were taken aback. Was this fierce-looking child a girl or a boy? The voice sounded like a girl, but the appearance was definitely that of a boy!
An old man spoke up: "I don't care if you're a boy or a girl, these are all things that came back from big cities, and we're just telling the truth!"
Si Xingzhu said to the old man, "She is a girl."
"A girl?!"
"It's a girl! But her head is shaved like a boy's!"
"I can tell it's a girl just by her voice!"
The elderly folks discussed it for a while, and the atmosphere at the village's gossip gathering reached a fever pitch once again.
"You said it came from the big city? Who brought it back?" Liang Shaojie grasped the key point and offered the old man a cigarette as he asked.
"Wow! This is a really good cigarette! I've only ever heard of it, but I've never actually smoked one this good!" The old man's eyes lit up.
