88 Crying Because Were So Happy (1/2)

Outside the car window lay the familiar scene of Jiangcheng at night. Xiao Luo relaxed in the backseat and silently admired the nightscape. His eyes were sullen and filled with sadness. Nevertheless, at the same time, he was looking past the sorrow and boldly getting ready to face new challenges.

His journey at Huaye had ended, and a new one was about to begin!

Once he'd checked his longing for Zhu Xiaofei and his other friends, Xiao Luo realized that he was now looking forward to the future. Like a martial arts master returning home from training, he was excited about showing off his skills and building a dynamic career.

Meanwhile, back at Huaye, the girls from the English Department were all flustered. They were giddy like ants on a hotpot.

”I can't get through! Xiao Luo's phone is switched off!” Zhu Xiaofei frowned as he took his headphones out of his ears.

What was going on?

Everyone was puzzled. Why had Xiao Luo decided to go missing for no good reason? Even more strange, he'd vanished during the choir's performance.

”Have you tried contacting him on WeChat or QQ?” Chu Yue asked in a hurry.

With his hands spread wide, Zhu Xiaofei replied, ”I tried reaching out, but there was no reply.”

”Don't tell me that something's happened to him?” Wang Lingling speculated.

”Don't jinx him!”

”Hero Luo is so formidable. Nothing bad will happen to him!”

”That's exactly right. Can't you think more positively, Wang Lingling?”

Many of the girls began criticizing Wang Lingling. But after a short bout of critical venting, the inevitable question of where Hero Luo had gone was right back on the table.

Huang Ruoran said to Zhu Xiaofei, ”Why don't you head to our dorm and see if Xiao Luo is there?”

Zhu Xiaofei nodded. Just as he was about to head to their dorm, An Huanhuan, who had stayed silent this entire time, suddenly spoke up with swollen red eyes. ”Don't bother,” she said. ”I'm sure Hero Luo has left already.”

Left?

To everyone else, these words felt like a massive bomb had just exploded. They all turned around and looked at An Huanhuan.

An Huanhuan lifted her head, bit her lip, and explained, ”Hero Luo is different from us. He's not a student, and the only reason he came to our school was to protect Princess Yue.”

What…

Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief. They were astonished by what An Huanhuan had just said. Not a student? If he was only here to protect Chu Yue, did that make Xiao Luo a bodyguard?

Thinking about how Xiao Luo had singlehandedly managed the incident at the club, it seemed as if An Huanhuan had not fabricated this story. It was all true.

One girl, who greatly admired Xiao Luo, walked to the front and eagerly questioned Chu Yue, ”Princess Yue, is it true what Huanhuan said?”

However, Chu Yue's mind drew a blank.

Left? Did he really leave just like that?

It felt like her soul had been extracted from her body. She felt empty inside and couldn't explain this mood that had overcome her. She had yet to express her gratitude toward Xiao Luo, so why had he left? And so suddenly, at that?

”That's impossible, An Huanhuan. Can't you stop fooling around?” Zhu Xiaofei said. He couldn't accept the reality that Xiao Luo had already left.

”I wish I were joking, but it's the truth. Hero Luo told me himself.” Tears began streaming down An Huanhuan's cheeks as she could no longer hold back her feelings.

”Man, I refuse to believe it!”

Zhu Xiaofei turned around and ran to the bedroom. He refused to believe that Xiao Luo would leave without so much as a word or that Xiao Luo was just Chu Yue's bodyguard.

”Lao Zhu!” Ding Kai exclaimed, following him.
