Chapter 385 - The Reason (1/2)

“Meet? How would we meet?”

Li Dong was puzzled. Would they meet via video chat?

Why did Mu Wanqiu want to see him? Was the guild not automatically disbanded?

“I bought a ticket to Chuzhou city tomorrow. I’ll go to your school to find you. I want to talk about some things with you,” the voice over the phone said.

Huh?

Li Dong was stunned. His heart thumped. A face-to-face meetup of two online friends? The two of them would meet in reality?

He would know at a glance how Mu Wanqiu looked, and whether she was a male or a female.

Why did Mu Wanqiu want to meet him in person, and what did she want to tell him? Could she not tell him what she wanted to say over the phone? Did they have to meet face-to-face?

He was full of doubts; however, the words came out of his mouth. “Um, is this very important? Is it better to say it in person?”

“Yes, It’s… a little better to say it in person.”

“OK. When are you arriving tomorrow? I will pick you up at the station.”

“Ok. I will arrive at 4 PM tomorrow.”

…

The next afternoon.

At Chuzhou high-speed rail station exit.

Li Dong, who had changed into something more presentable, looked at the gantries behind the railing and then further beyond.

He felt a little apprehensive.

A young girl? A cute and innocent, but air-headed girl? A really ugly girl? A crossdressing man? Or… a stereotypical straight male?

How would he deal with those different situations?

What if she turned out to be a real female?

“Huff…” Taking a deep breath, he silently said to himself, “No matter what happens, I must act natural. I must act like the Commander that I was in the game.”

He looked at the time on his phone. It was past four. He waited for a while more. A wave of noise came from the gantries. The passengers were coming out in droves.

Li Dong’s gaze was swept over each passenger’s face. He focused on the younger men and women… Mu Wanqiu said she was in her third year of university and had just turned 20.

“Um, a couple, a pair of girlfriends, a single male, a single male, a couple, a single male… a single female, but she didn’t look at me; it’s probably not her.”

Suddenly…

Li Dong’s breath became sluggish.

A beautiful girl with long flowing hair and a tall physique, wearing light-pink colored sportswear, walked out of the passage.

Li Dong’s eyes met hers and his heart skipped a beat. Was it her?

But the girl quickly shifted her gaze and walked out through the gantry. She headed out without looking back.

“Not her then.”

Li Dong shook his head and returned his gaze to the exit to continue his search.

All the disembarking passengers had left the station, but no one came to greet him… He had sent his photo to Mu Wanqiu yesterday. She would probably take the initiative to give him a wave as a signal after spotting him.

“Didn’t she get off the train? Should I call her?”

Li Dong picked up his mobile phone, ready to make a call.

“Hi!”

Someone tapped his shoulder from the back, “Are you the Commander? I’m Mu Wanqiu.”
