Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Lu Qing opened the balcony door and walked into the room, she saw that the night light behind the sofa was on. He saw a cup of water on the coffee table, still steaming gently.
There was a medicine box beside a blanket.
Lu Qing walked over and placed his school bag by his leg. He bent down and picked up the medicine box beside him.
He had a good guess who had placed it here.
Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi would not do this quietly. They would call out to him first.
Lu Bai and Lu Jingzhi were not people who would wake up in the middle of the night.
On the other hand, Lu Ning would typically wake up in the middle of the night to get some water.
Everything was truly obvious. It was just a matter of whether you wanted to understand them or not.
Thinking about it carefully, everything had been wrong. The correct answer was in front of him all along, yet he did not even care to look for it.
Instead, he had held on to the foolishness in his heart.
Why did our parents, who had always loved and protected her, suddenly stop mentioning her name? Were they really pretending not to know each other, like strangers without blood ties? Were they so cold and indifferent to begin with?
They weren’t.
There was always something else going on, but he had never thought of investigating them. He even immediately concluded that his parents were that kind of people.
Lu Qing looked at the things in his hand in silence. A teardrop fell hard into the cup of hot water.
The winter night was really cold. It was so cold that his heart was frozen like a block of ice.
The next morning, everyone else was still not up when Lu Ning woke up. After tidying up, she went into the kitchen to prepare some breakfast in the steamer.
When she came out to get her things, she saw a few footprints from the balcony to the door. They were formed by droplets of water. After looking at them for a while, she went to get a mop.
Shen Yunci and the others got up one after another.
Other than Lu Bai, who was still sleeping, the family sat at the dining table and ate breakfast.
“Ningning, there’s still snow outside. Let Daddy send you there later.”
Lu Ning nodded. “Okay.”
After dinner, Lu Ning and Lu Zhi went out together.
There was still a thick layer of snow along the way, so Lu Zhi rode very slowly.
“Ningning, Mommy and Daddy have taken a fancy to a certain house. Let’s go take a look after you’re done with school…”
Father and daughter chatted all the way to the school gate.
Today, the gate was crowded with parents sending their children to school.
After saying goodbye to Lu Zhi, Lu Ning turned around and entered the school.
She b.u.mped into Li Nian.
She had just come out of the infirmary and was looking much better.
“Ningning. ”
Li Nian saw Lu Ning first and called her over.
Lu Ning smiled and held her hand.
The two of them walked into the school building together.
After it snowed, the temperature was very cold. Everyone was dressed very thickly.
Li Nian looked at Lu Ning and hesitated to say something.
She remained reticent to speak even when they reached the cla.s.sroom door and she said goodbye to Lu Ning.
When Lu Ning walked in, she realized that the atmosphere in the cla.s.sroom was not right.
Everyone was gathered together and discussing something.
When Lin Ci saw her enter, she quickly waved to her.
Lu Ning walked over in confusion.
“What happened?”
Lin Ci leaned over and whispered, “Someone from our school is missing.” “Missing!”
Lu Ning was stunned.
“Yes, a girl from our cla.s.s and another girl from the cla.s.s next door went missing on the day of the school’s anniversary party. They haven’t been found
yet. ”
Lu Ning subconsciously turned her head and looked around the cla.s.sroom. Everyone’s expressions were solemn. “Is it Shu Hong?”
Lin Ci nodded, her expression dark. “Yes.”
Because this was extremely important to the school, everyone was reminded to be careful..
