Chapter 228: 228 Lu Yao’s Hair_1

"Really."

Lu Yao nodded his head and confirmed.

"Alright, give me a strand of your hair then."

Lu Qingyi stretched out her hand towards Lu Yao, her expression was calm, she seemed to be joking but not quite.

Hair?

Lu Yao was a bit bewildered, not understanding what Lu Qingyi was trying to do.

Why would she want his hair?

"What use would you have for it?"

Lu Yao asked, looking at Lu Qingyi with a full load of confusion reflected in his eyes.

"Are you unwilling to give?"

Lu Qingyi gave Lu Yao a cold glance, a hint of a cold smirk appeared on her lips.

She did not explain why she wanted Lu Yao’s hair, she merely expressed her want.

"Here, you can have as many as you want."

Without giving it any extra thought, Lu Yao yanked a strand of hair from his head for Lu Qingyi. Although he had no idea what she wanted it for, it was just a strand of hair after all, he could afford it.

"Does Yao Meishu really only have three children?"

After storing the strand of Lu Yao’s hair properly, Lu Qingyi raised her eyes to Lu Yao and asked.

"She’s your mother, your mother only has you, Jiayue and Jiahao. What are you asking this for?"

Lu Yao clenched his fists tightly, looking at Lu Qingyi with guilt in his eyes.

They had become so estranged; Lu Qingyi was even unwilling to address them as ’mom’ and ’dad’, addressing them by name instead.

He... truly regretted mistreating Lu Qingyi.

"Grandma has passed away."

Unfazed, Lu Qingyi spoke coldly.

What she implied was that their relationship had ceased to exist ever since her grandmother passed away.

She did not have a father nor mother, she was raised by her grandmother.

When grandma was still alive, she’d be polite towards Lu Yao and Yao Meishu.

It was only because she did not want to upset grandma.

Now that grandma was no longer around, she did not have to be polite towards Lu Yao and Yao Meishu.

"I suppose it’s too late to make it up to you now..."

Lu Yao let out a long sigh; tears welled up in his eyes.

It was indeed too late, from the moment Lu Qingyi started to act indifferent towards them, it was already too late.

He was overcome with regret now, regret for listening to Yao Meishu back then and handing Lu Qingyi over to his mother-in-law to raise.

Having little Qingyi in his arms brought him sheer joy, it was a warm and pleasant feeling.

Faced with Yao Meishu’s crying, he reluctantly decided to send Qingyi to an orphanage. If his mother-in-law hadn’t offered to raise Qingyi, he would not have been able to witness Qingyi growing up.

"I’m leaving."

Without answering Lu Yao’s words, Lu Qingyi turned and left without hesitation.

Atonement?

She didn’t need it.

Lu Yao watched Lu Qingyi’s retreating figure, his hand fell to his side, reflecting despair and loneliness in his eyes.

It suddenly began to rain. Lu Qingyi reached out her hand to feel the raindrops, she looked up at the sky with calmness in her eyes.

Jin City now held nothing she was sentimentally attached to, hence she could walk away without any burdens.

Indifferent, thus free of attachment. Without attachment, there’d be no emotions involved.

---

Kyoto.

Lu Qingyi travelled overnight to get back, she felt that there was no need for her to spend the night in Jin City.

She did not inform Xu Boyan. As soon as she got off the plane, she immediately hailed a car to Hadrick, she wanted to find Lu Jiahao.

"Miss, you look familiar."

The ride was booked by Lu Qingyi online. The driver took a glimpse of Lu Qingyi through the rearview mirror from the back seat and broke the silence.

Lu Qingyi was wearing a mask, revealing only her clear eyes. The driver caught a glimpse of her eyes that somehow gave him a sense of déjà vu.

Lu Qingyi glanced at the driver in the mirror. Her expression was dismissive, she didn’t say a word.

"You’re going to Hadrick, right?"

The driver looked at the route on the phone screen and asked.

Hadrick.

The driver was so surprised that he turned his head back to look at Lu Qingyi, his face displaying utter astonishment.

"My name is Sun Haichen, do you still remember me?"

Glancing at Lu Qingyi through the rear-view mirror, the driver, Sun Haichen, asked tentatively.

Lu Qingyi’s face was particularly indifferent, without much change in emotion, "Hmm."

"You’re returning to Hadrick to lecture, Professor Lu?"

Sun Haichen inquired.

He was once a student of Lu Qingyi, and he particularly enjoyed attending her lectures. Her eyes were what left the deepest impression on him.

No one had seen Professor Lu around the school for a long time. Everyone in Hadrick knew this. He never thought he’d encounter Lu Qingyi today.

Lu Qingyi: "No."

Sun Haichen: "..."

What did she mean by ’no’?

"A ride-hailing driver?"

Lu Qingyi slowly closed her eyes, carelessly inquiring.

She remembered all of her students’ names clearly but couldn’t quite match them up to faces anymore.

"No, no, I only do this part-time. I happened to be heading to Hadrick myself, so I accepted your booking."

Sun Haichen awkwardly chuckled as he explained. He was indeed working part-time, only taking up the job out of sheer boredom.

If he was really a full-time ride-hailing driver, he would feel embarrassed. As one of Professor Lu’s students, he felt incapable.

"Oh."

Lu Qingyi, resting back in her seat, closed her eyes. Her demeanor was utterly indifferent.

"I work at the Xu Corporation."

Sun Haichen voluntarily mentioned his workstation, although Lu Qingyi hadn’t asked.

"Hmm. Keep up the good work."

Lu Qingyi opened her eyes to speak, displaying no emotions.

She knew that the Xu Corporation belonged to Xu Boyan.

"Alright, alright. I will." Sun Haichen quickly nodded, "By the way, Professor Lu, what are you going to Hadrick for?"

Sun Haichen was curious. It was clear that Lu Qingyi had denied any intention of returning to Hadrick to continue her professorship.

"To find someone."

Lu Qingyi’s expression was particularly bland.

Sun Haichen: "..."

He knew, beside picking up her teaching position, the only logical explanation for going to Hadrick would be to find someone.

What he meant was, whom was Lu Qingyi there to find? Considering the number of people she knew at Hadrick, it could really be anyone.

Among all the professors at Hadrick that he knew of, Lu Qingyi was the bravest. She dared to confront the president, and he could only respond with a smile.

"Professor Lu, we’re here, there’s no need to pay."

Upon arriving at Hadrick’s entrance, Sun Haichen stopped the car. He immediately canceled the order on his phone and said to Lu Qingyi.

He didn’t dare to accept Professor Lu’s money. Still, he was once her student, taking money from a teacher didn’t seem quite right.

"How much is it?"

Lu Qingyi’s fingers tapped on the keyboard, she slowly asked.

Sun Haichen: "...No need, I’m your student."

Sun Haichen got out of the vehicle and held the car door open for Lu Qingyi. He displayed a reverent attitude, his hand resting on top of the door, gesturing for Lu Qingyi to exit.
