Chapter 360 - Untitled (1/2)

The water in the fountain pool was not deep. The water level was at the knee of the young kid. He squatted down and his whole body was soaked in the water. He looked for his jade pendant by trying to feel it in the water, splas.h.i.+ng water in all directions.

The young kid looked very urgent. His red eyes were no longer blank and empty but anxious and fl.u.s.tered. His small hands were immersed in the pool as he looked for the jade pendant, afraid that he would never find the jade pendant again.

“Nuo Nuo…” He shouted Xu Nuo’s name over and over again and became more anxious. Slowly, his face reflected extreme despair and ferocity.

The water of the fountain shot out and landed in the pool and on the young kid’s hair. His hair was wet and stuck on his pinkish face. He was in an embarra.s.sing state. His white s.h.i.+rt was stuck tightly to his lean body, which made him look extremely pitiful.

Ye Wei, Bai Ye, and Chu Li didn’t stop him. They just watched the young kid look for the jade pendant in the pool anxiously. Everyone’s expression didn’t look good.

While covering her face, Xu Xing wanted to cry bitterly. She was filled with anger and hatred for the young kid. The voice that called her presumptuous was like the devil’s voice, scary and cold. She hated him but was afraid of him at the same time.

She saw him rush toward the fountain pool crazily, panicked, looking for the jade pendant while water was still shooting out of the fountain. His face was blurred as if there was a layer of mist covering him. It was unreal. However, his crazy actions and his sadness was clearly seen and heard.

‘Nuo Nuo… Is she the owner of the jade pendant?’

Xu Xing immediately regretted her actions. She shouldn’t have thrown his things so willfully in a fit of rage. She knew that the jade pendant was very important to him when he rushed over and tried to s.n.a.t.c.h it away from her. She shouldn’t have thrown it away when she lost her temper.

Xu Xing bit her teeth and walked over. She felt sorry for him. Such a crazy look didn’t seem to fit his face.

“h.e.l.lo, Stone…”

“Shut up!” As soon as she made a sound, the young kid turned around and slapped the water in the pool. The water splashed in all directions. His eyes were filled with anger and ferocity. Water dripped down his hair drop by drop. He said, “Don’t call me Stone.”

That was the patent of Nuo Nuo. Only Nuo Nuo could call him that. Others were not allowed to.

Xu Xing was shouted at by him again. She gritted her teeth but didn’t say anything. She would not have been able to tolerate Ning Ning and would probably run away given her proud and arrogant personality. However, this time, she was not angry. “I won’t call you that anymore. What’s the big deal? Your aunt asked me to address you as ‘Stone’ that day. Do you think I like that?”

The young kid ignored her and continued to search for the jade pendant. The jade pendant was just right beside his hand but he had missed it unknowingly. Xu Xing felt sorry for him.

“Hey, the jade pendant is on your right.” As soon as Xu Xing finished speaking, Ning Ning’s hand swept the jade pendant away. He had accidentally swept it farther away and his heart ached…

‘Nuo Nuo…’

‘I have to find it. I must find it.’ Ning Ning was determined. At the same time, he hated himself. If only he could see. If only he could see…

The fountain pool was big and he had swept the jade pendant farther away. Ning Ning was anxious and worried. He had lost his mind again. He had never had such a desire and hoped that he could regain his eyesight so that he could find the jade pendant that Nuo Nuo gave him.

“A token of love…” That was what Xu Nuo said.

He had already lost Nuo Nuo. He couldn’t lose the jade pendant that she gave him too. He just couldn’t…

His heart was tearing apart and his cries were stuck in his throat. He could hardly breathe.

‘I can’t…’

Tears fell. Ning Ning’s heart felt bitter and sour. He became even more desperate to find it. Xu Xing couldn’t bear to see him like that and lifted up her skirt. “I’ll help you pick it up. Don’t be like this.”

“Go away.” Ning Ning shouted. Xu Xing was about to enter the pool when he shouted at her. She stared at him angrily but her anger ceased when she saw the tears on his face. She then pouted her lips and stood at the side.

Drops of water dripped down from his hair and fell into his eyes and mouth. Ning Ning squatted down and continued to search for it frantically. The desire in his heart had turned deeper and it had never been so strong.

Suddenly, his eyes ached. Ning Ning closed them subconsciously and opened them again. There was a flash of white light in his blurry sight. Ning Ning closed his eyes again and squatted down in the pool without moving. The water level was at his chest level and he soaked in the water with a pale face.

Ye Wei, Bai Ye, and Chu Li hurried over. Xu Xing asked anxiously, “Hey, what’s the matter with you?”

Ning Ning rubbed his eyes, wiped the water on his face, and opened them again. His eyesight was blurred at first, but after blinking his eyes several times, he could finally see clearly. His eyes were not red anymore and turned as black as black jade, which was surprisingly bright.

Bai Ye was elated. The handsome and nonchalant man showed a relieved smile. ‘His eyes are finally healed.’

Ning Ning turned his head and soon saw the jade pendant lying quietly in the pool. His heart ached. Even in the water, people could see his shaking hands picking up the jade pendant.
