Chapter 211: Chapter 210: Running Away from Home (6)

Ji Xinxin immediately sensed something was off with Ling Chuxia; she paused and without asking anything, simply stated, "Address."

-

Shi Che knew that whenever Ling Chuxia was unhappy, she would run to the school because it was the happiest and freest place for her, free from Mrs. Shi’s control and the oppressive atmosphere of the Shi family. She didn’t have to act like a proper young lady or suppress herself.

Back then, he could always find her at school, sitting alone. He would slowly approach her, sit with her, and when her mood improved, he would take her home.

Thinking this, Shi Che stepped on the accelerator all the way to the floor, his car speeding towards the school.

When Shi Che arrived at the school gates, the school had long been closed, swallowed in darkness. He stopped the car and made his way to the side of the schoolyard where there was a shorter wall that students often climbed over. Ling Chuxia had climbed it many times before... and then, he too was led astray.

Shi Che braced his hands against the wall and deftly climbed over.

Ji Xinxin pulled up to the milk tea shop to find Ling Chuxia alone, curled up in a corner with darkness all around her, hugging her knees, her gaze empty, looking forlorn like an abandoned kitten, exceptionally pitiable.

Every time Ji Xinxin saw her like this, she couldn’t help but get furious. Her friendship with Ling Chuxia began with a conflict: they were dormmates in their freshman year, initially disliking each other—Ling Chuxia thought she was affected, and she thought Ling Chuxia was brainless. After a month of cold comments, they finally exploded one night and fought in the dorm, inexplicably making up afterwards. They became candid with each other because they appreciated each other’s determination not to give in.

But in these three years, Ling Chuxia had gotten married and changed completely; she had become timid, weak, and had lost her self-confidence, which was truly heartbreaking for Ji Xinxin.

Ji Xinxin, agitated, violently pushed the car horn, blasting a piercing sound through the silent street. Ling Chuxia looked up blankly.

Ji Xinxin gave her a cold look and said coolly, "Get in the car!"

-

Shi Che searched through the campus, covering all the places Ling Chuxia used to stay, but still didn’t find any sign of her. His brows furrowed deeply, his head spinning severely, he punched his temple before rushing nonstop to the school’s back gate.

The back gate led to a street full of snack shops, also a favorite of Ling Chuxia’s. When she was upset, she would either find a quiet spot to be alone, or hit the snack street to binge eat.

Just as Shi Che was turning out from the school, Ling Chuxia had already gotten into Ji Xinxin’s car. Ji Xinxin glanced at her with no desire to speak and simply stepped on the gas, the red sports car darting away.

As the car left the snack street, Shi Che arrived at the milk tea shop only to find it swathed in darkness, only the street lamp on the road casting a long shadow of his lonely figure.

She wasn’t here either...

Shi Che stood there in a daze, his head spinning fiercely. He stumbled, barely managing to steady himself. His hands clenched tightly, teeth biting down hard, with veins on his forehead protruding intensely.

The cars of Old Zhu and Xiao Zhao caught up behind him, seeing Shi Che looking extremely pale.
