She felt that it was more likely he would find a well-hidden place to rest, just like before.
Actually, Mu Xiaoxiao did understand Feng Tianqiâs words.
She also knew that she shouldnât be so concerned about Jun Zeye.
But⦠she couldnât do it.
She constantly felt as though something was stopping her from letting go of Jun Zeye without finding answers.
And this answer, she thought, was something very important to her.
Her walk took her to the door of the equipment room.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at his place. Suddenly, she felt nostalgic, remembering all the times she had played truant from here.
She still remembered that Lu Yichen had been the one who had convinced her to skip class for the first time.
She wondered how he was in America and when he would be back.
â¦
The dim surroundings suddenly lit up, accompanied by a ringing sound.
Jun Zeye assessed his wound. There was a little blood on the left side of his chest, but luckily the wound wasnât too big and the bleeding stopped easily.
His phone had rang just as he was about to put on his shirt.
He didnât need to see it to know who had called.
He answered the phone.
âZeye, where are you? Donât tell me youâre at Shangde.â
It was Ning Ruyanâs voice.
âYeah,â Jun Zeye replied mildly, as though this wasnât something to be fussed over.
Ning Ruyan said exasperatedly, âBro, youâre hurt! You donât have to go rushing back to school to attend class. Also, KO⦠KO couldnât be found, but he should also have sustained serious injuries, so for now, he wonât have the time to disturb Mu Xiaoxiao. So thereâs no need to guard her now is there?â
Previously, when they had gone to search where KO was hiding, they hadnât expected to really find him. However, KO was a really sly person and had laid a trap for them. If it hadnât been for Jun Zeyeâs strong instincts and swift reflexes, both of them might have been killed.
Luckily, Ning Ruyan had listened to him and not gotten out of the car, so he didnât sustain any injuries. However, Jun Zeye wasnât so lucky.
What surprised Ning Ruyan was that Jun Zeye still insisted on going to school even when he was injured.
Seriously, did he not care about his injuries at all?
Did he think he was Superman?
âIâm fine,â Jun Zeye said.
Ning Ruyan said without humor, âYeah! Youâre totally fine! Even if all your blood drains away, youâll still say youâre fine!â
Jun Zeye was about to say something when he heard a soft noise. Someoneâs footsteps were getting closer.
He lowered his voice and said, âThereâs something going on. Iâm hanging up.â
âHey, whatâs going on?â Ning Ruyan wanted to ask, but the line had already been cut.
In the next second, someone pushed the door and entered.
Jun Zeye backtracked, hid himself in a dark corner, and slipped the phone into his pocket.
A petite figure walked in.
âThatâs strange, I did hear a voice just nowâ¦â
Upon hearing the voice, Jun Zeye frowned.
How did she find this place?
Mu Xiaoxiao scratched the back of her head and peeked inside. The equipment room did have windows, but since there were so many things stacked up against it, they were currently blocked.
âIs there anyone inside?â She called out.
Unsurprisingly, no one replied.
Even if there were someone hiding there, they wouldnât be so dumb as to answer her, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao was about to walk in before she stopped in her tracks, hesitation on her face.
What if the person hiding was a bad guy?
Wouldnât she fall into their trap if she walked in?
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs heart hammered.
