Chapter 320: Study Hard and Grow Up
Qi Lei accurately told her the time and location, then he said, “There are many students living in this district. They might be trying to take the students away and are looking for people who can make things easier for them.”
“They must have been looking at the location these few times.”
“Based on my understanding of this organization, if these people still do what they did before, they will attack for the first time in two days.”
“Xiao Lei, it’s very dangerous here. Come with me. Come back after this matter is resolved,” Xing Jiuan said.
“I’m fine, Sis. I can help you here…”
“I don’t need your help,” Xing Jiuan interrupted him.
“You’re still in school. The most important thing is to study hard and remember what you promised me.”
Qi Lei paused before agreeing softly.
Of course, he remembered.
At that time, he lived in the hospital and had many festering wounds on his body. He would squeeze the pus every day and dirty the bedsheets. Even he felt disgusted.
Xing Jiuan was wearing a clean white T-s.h.i.+rt and a black windbreaker. She was valiant and beautiful, and she was the opposite of him.
She looked at him against the light and seemed to have come under the bright sun. She hugged him gently.
Despite being only a year older than him, she said, “You have to grow up well. Be like any ordinary child. Go to school, graduate, work…”
He knew of the existence of the training ground behind Xing Jiuan and Mu Qing and had also said that he could join.
He knew he could help.
Then, he was scolded by Xing Jiuan.
Xing Jiuan told him to study hard.
Of course, he knew that Xing Jiuan was not taking away some kind of freedom from him, nor did she want him to live an ordinary life.
Xing Jiuan knew that the more capable one was, the more responsibility one would have. Although she looked free, she was actually not that free. She had been hunted many times before she became an adult.
Qi Lei had already experienced so many painful things. She hoped that he could live simply.
Even if he really wanted to do something else, it was not now.
Xing Jiuan had told Qi Lei that before he turned 20, the training ground would not open for him.
He shouldn’t do it to repay a debt…
He should have more choices!
“Go pack your things. It’ll be the weekend in the next two days. If it can be resolved, come back for cla.s.s on Monday. If it can’t be resolved, I’ll help you take a leave.”
“Okay,” Qi Lei agreed obediently.
It was not that the other students who lived here were not dangerous, but Qi Lei was different.
Back then, he had stayed in that organization for three months. In order to make him stay willingly, that organization had done everything possible. Even Xing Jiuan could not help but feel a chill in her heart when she saw the punishment there.
In fact, when that organization was destroyed by them, they could not do without Qi Lei’s help.
If they found out that Qi Lei was here, who knew what would be waiting for him?
Xing Jiuan did not let Qi Lei enter the training ground, but she had especially found someone to train him. He could indeed protect himself, but Xing Jiuan was not sure if he could protect himself when facing this organization.
In her heart, Qi Lei was still a child.
He had just turned eighteen.
Qi Lei packed some clothes simply. His place was very clean, and he did not have much food. He had bought enough food for a day and prepared more fruits. If Xing Jiuan had not come occasionally, he would not have prepared snacks.
He did not eat snacks.
Qi Lei only carried a bag with a few books inside.
When they saw Qi Lei packing up and walking over with his bag, Xing Jiuan and Mu Qing stood up.
