In that time, Gu Qianqian thought she had an unrequited love, but upon their second meeting, she received flowers from Lu Yebai.
Although they were just cockscomb flowers he casually picked from the flower bed, she was so overjoyed that she barely slept that night.
Just like that, she fell in love with a man whose name was all she knew.
Back then, she felt that Lu Yebai was the best person in the world, he was so good to her that her classmates were envious, so good that even her mother didn’t think it was wrong for her to like such a man.
Such a dazzling person fell in love with someone as ordinary as herself, and she once felt that she was the luckiest girl in the world.
But…
Unable to hold back her tears, she forced herself to close her eyes and to push away the thoughts.
She didn’t know how long she forced herself, but she eventually drifted into sleep.
In the middle of the night, Gu Qianqian had a nightmare.
There was a black dragon chasing her in her dream, chasing her till she woke up screaming, only to realize her mother hadn’t come back yet.
It was already half past eleven at night…
Feeling uneasy, she swung her legs off the bed and opened the door, only to immediately sense someone’s gaze upon her from the dark.
She was so frightened that she broke out in a sweat.
Turning sharply, she thought she caught a glimpse of a retreating shadow.
Lu Yebai?
It must be Lu Yebai……
Excited, Gu Qianqian rushed after him like a madwoman.
But there was no one in the living room at midnight except for her.
Even so, she still had a strong feeling.
It must be Lu Yebai.
Only he liked to wear such a color, Only him…
In her excitement, her eyes shone brighter.
As she clenched her fists, hesitating whether to find Lu Yebai for an explanation, she spotted from the corner of her eye her mother returning from outside.
“Qianqian, why are you out here?”
Seeing her daughter standing there in light clothing, the first thing Lu Shenglin did was to pull her in for fear she would catch a cold.
Once inside, Gu Qianqian seems to come back to her senses: “Mom, why are you back so late?”
Upon being asked by her daughter, Lu Shenglin stiffened and reluctantly said: “It was nothing, I find it stuffy at home so I went for a walk in the garden…”
“You took a walk so late?”
Lu Shenglin didn’t say anything else, just hummed in response.
Her expression didn’t look happy in any way.
Gu Qianqian quickly had a guess and asked, “Did they say something over there?”
“Qianqian, can you pretend that nothing happened…”
“Mom…”
She exclaimed in disbelief. The source of this chapter is g.com.
She could hardly believe the woman before her was her mother.
How could her mother say such things?
How could she pretend that nothing happened?
Knowing her daughter’s grievances, Lu Shenglin’s eyes turned red, and she sighed, “Child, just endure it for a while!
Once you attend university, everything will get better…”
“…”
University, going to university!
Right, her primary reason for coming here wasn’t because she wanted to get into Jing University?
Last year, she missed the college entrance examination because of Lu Yebai.
This year, she was supposed to repeat the year, but due to various reasons, her schooling was suspended.
She followed her mother here because President Lu promised to help her resolve these issues and let her successfully take the examination.
But…
Her heart felt as if it was stuffed with a stone, unable to rise or fall.
But looking at the restrained profile of her mother, Gu Qianqian clenched her fists tightly and, in the end, said nothing.
She turned in bed facing away from her mother and shut her eyes tightly.
