Chapter 636 Why did you stop me? (1/2)
In the distance from where Yue Ling and Lu Tian stood, the person she was searching for watched from a hidden spot as the couple indulge in a romantic kiss under the rain.
As the rain pour harder and water covers the grounds of Imperial, he raises both his hands and pulls the hood under his dark gray coat to cover his head.
His well-defined face was quickly hidden away from view leaving only the bottom half of his face for one to see.
”Hyun, why are you just standing there? Did you get rejected by someone?”
From behind, the sound of footsteps approaching enters Qin Jun's ear follow by a young man's chuckling voice full of jokes.
Song Jing Li stops at the side and looks at Qin Jun. However, seeing the man was paying no attention to him, he turns his head and looks in the direction he (Qin Jun) was looking at.
He didn't have to search as his eyes landed on a figure that froze his entire body like he had been struck by lightning.
”T-That's…”
Unlike the scene Qin Jun had witness, Yue Ling and Lu Tian were now walking hand in hand towards her car. Lu Tian then helps Yue Ling get inside the passenger seat before walking to the driver side.
As the white car drives away, Song Jing Li takes a step forward like he was going to commit suicide by stepping in front of the many passing vehicles.
”Noona… Noona!”
He chokes a whisper before yelling out after her like a child who had been abandoned by his mother. However, before he could take another step further, Qin Jun reach an arm to stop him by the shoulder.
”Don't.”
Song Jing Li stares in disbelief at the back of Yue Ling's car. His lower lip trembles and he turn his head to look at the person who had stopped him.
”Why? Why did you stop me?!”
He didn't understand. If they could see her, shouldn't she be able to see them? Does she not miss them?
Qin Jun looks at Song Jing Li with pain in his eyes. He knows that the boy misses Yue Ling every day and has been contemplating whether to see her or not. However, his hand on Song Jing Li's shoulder gently squeeze and he shook his head.
”We can't let her know that we are here.”
Hearing these words again, Song Jing Li press his lips together to keep them from trembling. He inhales a deep breath through his nose and shrugs away Qin Jun's hand like he had some kind of disease.
”Why?”
His eyes turn red with tears and he glares at the older man. Raising his hand, he point in the direction Yue Ling had gone.
”You keep saying we can't tell her, but out of all of us, she's the one who deserves to know!”
He stares at Qin Jun with his chest breathing heavily. However, not able to understand the man's reason and not wanting to look at him (Qin Jun) anymore, he storms away in the opposite direction of Yue Ling.
As Song Jing Li walks away, Kira stood behind the two without saying a word. He held a red umbrella to keep the rain away from him and glance at Qin Jun.
”He's right, you know.”
He takes a calm step forward and stares out to the street across from them. It was the exact spot Yue Ling and Lu Tian were standing before leaving.
”How long do you plan to hide this from her?”
His head slightly turn to look in the direction the couple had driven off.
”She has every right to know that Shin's death was not an accident.”
Qin Jun remained in silence as the rain pour over his body soaking him from head to toe. He stares in the same direction as his friend before he finally found his voice again.
