It was as if time had stopped.
The air, too, seemed to freeze at this moment.
It was only until, another student pa*sed by and startled them that Ruo Ruo came back to her senses little by little.
Then, she looked at this person who finally appeared, and for a moment, the aggression at the bottom of her heart was like a raging tide, all clogging up to her throat after.
She crouched down and just hugged her arms and cried out, “Woo-”
Sonny: “……”
She didn’t know how to comfort at all.
Lu Guan, on the other hand, also stood there stiffened, and the already pale face under that hood tightened up even more.
The girl stopped crying for about two or three minutes, and when Lu Guan was ready to go forward, suddenly, the little girl stopped, she wiped the teardrops off her face, and the little head jerked up.
Lu Guan: “……”
Sanny: “……”
“Go, Sunny!”
Then, she actually got up from the ground and left without looking back.
After waiting for a whole day to finally meet, this little girl, but after a big cry here, she flung her sleeves and left.
Sanny was a little confused.
She stood there, looking one moment at the little girl who had run away, and the next at the teenager who was still in place and also obviously a bit unresponsive, not even knowing what to make of it.
“Sixteen, you …… are really going a bit too far, do you know that Ruo Ruo has been waiting here for you for a whole day? No food, no water, why are you just coming over now?”
She finally could only stomp her foot before leaving this sentence and leaving.
Lu Guan was dumbfounded.
Only after a while did he turn around and look at the two departing backs in the dimness, and after squeezing his hand in the pocket of his jumper, he finally chased after them with quick steps.
Why had he been so late?
Actually, he was really delayed.
And, there was one more thing, this school, it really wasn’t him who wanted to come here first, he had clearly made it so clear to Uncle Huo when he was at Guanhai Terrace that he would just go to a domestic technical university.
However, once his college entrance exams were over and his results came out, he received a notice that this school had been arranged for him.
At that moment, he should have been disgusted.
He didn’t want to be like the old days, always carrying things in his heart that didn’t belong to him, knowing full well that he wasn’t entitled to them, but he couldn’t let go.
And for most of the year, he had already adjusted his mind alone.
So why did Uncle Huo have to make such an arrangement?
So, today, when school started, he was more or less, still a bit of a perfunctory gesture to cope.
Lu Guan chased out.
But found that the little girl had already stopped a taxi outside after she ran out, and Sanny, who had followed her out behind her, had also followed her in with her.
陆尽：”……”
For just a moment, his foot that wanted to continue to chase after her, withdrew in a raw way.
After that, he just stood in front of this school until he watched this car leave, and he didn’t move again.
Good thing too!
In that chilly night, this teenager stood there quietly looking at it for a moment, and then for a moment, when a cold indifference returned to those amazingly dark, narrow eyes.
He turned and went in.
—
The following day.
Ruo Ruo woke up in her own room with swollen eyes.
She opened her eyes and looked out at a bright sun for a long, long time, and one sat in a trance on the bed.
“Miss Ruo Ruo, you are finally awake? How do you feel? Is there still discomfort there?”
The maid heard the commotion and came up in a hurry.
Ruo Ruo froze, and only after a long time did she realise that she seemed a bit light-headed.
“Auntie, what’s wrong with …… me?”
“You have a fever, after being sent back by Miss Sunny last night, you have been running a high fever, it was only after I called the doctor to come over that your fever went down.”
The maid hurriedly explained.
Ruoruo: “……”
So it was a fever.
Ruo Ruo sat on the bed for a while longer, before getting up and going to the bathroom.
“Miss Ruo Ruo, I haven’t told Mr. and Mrs. yet.”
“No, no.”
Ruo Ruo refused in a hurry.
She didn’t want to worry Daddy and Mummy because she was very afraid that when they found out, they would say something about that teenager, and then, Daddy would get angry and chastise him, and it would be even more troublesome.
Ruo Ruo brushed her teeth and washed her face too, before she went downstairs for breakfast.
Half an hour later, Sunny also called.
“Ruo Ruo, are you better? Do you want me to come and see you?”
“No, Sunny, I’m fine, I’ll go to school after breakfast.” Ruo Ruo declined her best friend’s kind offer and told her not to worry so much.
Only then did Sonny hang up the phone.
So, after Ruo Ruo finished her breakfast and really went upstairs to clean up a bit, she carried her school bag out the door.
She didn’t want to stay at home, she wanted to keep herself busy so that she wouldn’t be sad and wouldn’t have time to be sad.
Ruo Ruo got on the bus here with her bag and walked slowly towards the school.
But unexpectedly, when this bus just reached the next stop, it stopped, someone got on, and after seeing her sitting in this row behind, his light-coloured thin lips pursed and came over.
Ruo Ruo’s head was still a bit dizzy, so she was leaning against the window with her eyes closed.
Until, suddenly, someone sat down next to her.
Ruo Ruo turned her head sideways ……
