Chapter 477 - Got Another Clue? (1/2)

Along the way, even the short-haired girl noticed the change in the atmosphere. “Hey, I have a bad feeling that something awful is about to go down.”

Zhang Heng looked at her, but he did not explain anything. “We talked a lot about Han Lu. Let’s talk about you,” he said, instead of answering her.

“Me?” The short-haired girl was a little surprised. “How am I related to your mission to save the world?”

“No. I want to have a small chat with you,” Zhang Heng said, “Anyway, we still need to walk a bit before we get to the museum.”

“Well, let’s do the small talk then,” the short-haired girl scratched her head. “I am essentially a very boring person. My hobbies are lying in bed and reading novels and comics. I’m a movie buff as well. Though I don’t mind socializing, I find it troublesome to keep getting my hair done. I take an unpopular course. I don’t know what else to tell you.”

“Is there anyone you like?”

“Wow, now that’s a very personal question.”

“Sorry if you’re offended…”

“I would think a stranger is rude if he were to ask me something like this after meeting him for less than half an hour. I don’t feel that way, though, when you asked me the question. It’s weird. I feel like I know you. Have we met before?” the short-haired girl asked in curiosity.

“Is that right?”

“To answer your previous question, I dated a boy, but it was a high school thing. He took me home on a bicycle, and I could smell the detergent on his s.h.i.+rt. I really loved that smell. Unfortunately, my dad had to spot him, and since then, he’s been waiting at the school gate to pick me up every day. It was miserable. After a while, we broke up since our relations.h.i.+p affected his grades. But what can I say, eh? When I was studying abroad, my drama addiction affected my love life as well.”

“Don’t worry. You will meet someone you like in the future. He will show up at the right time, and you’ll have a happy family. The person you love shall give you all the happiness in the world.”

“Could this be some sort of prophecy?” The short-haired girl smiled, “But it sounds good. I want to think that it’ll come true for me.”

After a while, the bus stopped in front of St. Aidan’s College, and the Oriental Museum was nearby. At the same time, the sky was also covered by dark clouds as well. The short-haired girl was a student at Durham University, so there was no need to buy a ticket. After frisking his pocket awkwardly, Zhang Heng suddenly realized that he couldn’t pay for the ticket.

“I’ll buy you a ticket. Han Lu can reimburse me later,” the short-haired girl said, reaching for her purse. “Thank you.” Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief. Although he could use the previous method to get into the museum, it would undoubtedly attract a lot of unwanted attention, thereby risking alerting the nearby police officers.

Since Zhang Heng had no idea what kind of catastrophe he was going to face, he figured it was better he lay low. The museum wasn’t that big, very few visitors were there at the moment. To Zhang Heng’s surprise, he reencountered Rabbit. She was standing with a tall and handsome boy.

“Oh, s.h.i.+t. That’s Freddie.” The short-haired girl let out a long sigh.

“Who is Freddie?”

“He’s Han Lu’s admirer and rising star of the school’s soccer team. Something’s up with him recently. He has been pestering Han Lu relentlessly, and although Han Lu told him that she’s attached, he just wouldn’t stop. So all she can do is to avoid him as much as possible.”

Rabbit, on the other hand, was filled with joy when she spotted Zhang Heng. “You found this place too?”
