90 Helplessness (2/2)

Who was that? The guy in the backseat?

The driver was startled. In the rearview mirror, he observed Xiao Luo sitting in the backseat.

At that moment, Xiao Luo was depressed. The taxi driver pulled on his seatbelt. However, the emergency brake had not only affected the driver. Since Xiao Luo had not reacted in time either, he had whacked his forehead on the back of the front seat. Although there was no redness or swelling, his brow still felt hot and painful.

”Pretentious D*ck, get out here!”

Chu Yue was still shouting in the rain. She was not holding an umbrella, and the rain fell on her, thoroughly soaking her white school uniform. Her black lingerie was showing, and her clothes clung tightly to her white skin, showing off the outline of her perfect body.

Her black hair streaked across her face, which was soaked with raindrops. Anyone who saw her like this would feel heartache.

The door opened, and Xiao Luo expressionlessly got out of the car with an umbrella.

With the umbrella in one hand and his other hand in his pocket, he walked over to Chu Yue as elegantly as any proper gentleman. However, in his all-black outfit, a black shirt paired with black slacks, he gave off an evil aura.

”Pretentious D*ck…”

Seeing Xiao Luo, Chu Yue's face lit up with a smile. Ignoring the fact that she was drenched, she walked up to Xiao Luo and took him by the hands.

”Let's go,” she entreated him. ”Come back with me. Everyone is waiting for you.”

She felt like she had just recovered a precious object. Her panicked heart had settled down slightly after seeing Xiao Luo.

However, Xiao Luo stood motionless, rooted to the spot. No matter how she pulled, he just didn't move his golden feet.

”Go back? Go back where? Huaye?” Xiao Luo asked. A mocking smile crossed his face.

”Didn't my dad send you to protect me?” Chu Yue looked at him, wide-eyed and startled. Her heart felt like it had been pierced with a knife.

”You are safe and no longer need my protection,” Xiao Luo replied softly.

Chu Yue was utterly stunned. It was as if her soul had been snatched from her body in an instant. Her mind drew a blank. She didn't know what to say to get Xiao Luo to stay. She didn't even know why she had dropped everything to come here so desperately. Was it because this man had saved her from those demons?

No, that wasn't it. This was the first time that she'd fallen for a boy. But this boy was looking at her with an icy expression and talking to her coldly.

”I think you should go back. Go back to school,” Xiao Luo said, persuading her. In order to completely erase the ripples in her heart, he kept his face cold as ice. ”I have my own things to do. And you, as a student, have your own things to do too. Don't waste your time on an outsider like me!”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without showing her any sign of affection. Even if he felt a bit reluctant, he had to cut her off and start a new life.

However, Chu Yue reached out and grabbed his arm.

Sobbing and choking, she said, ”Let's go back…together. I beg you, Pretentious D*ck. I was at fault in the past, and I should never have treated you the way I did. I know I'm in the wrong now. I apologize to you, so please don't leave. Don't leave us! Zhu Xiaofei, Ding Kai, and Huang Ruoran—they are all waiting for you…”

Chu Yue did not know what was wrong with her. She was usually so proud, so where was this unspeakable sadness and desperation coming from? This was not like her at all. She was crying in front of a boy! Was her delicate makeup already ruined? It was, and without it, her pale and powerless face was revealed.

Xiao Luo turned his head and looked at her wet clothes and messy hair, but there was no way to comfort her.
