Lu Huaiyu’s voice was very gentle, deep, and relaxed as if he was merely saying this casually, but Ning Li instantly blushed.
That woman had only said that to coax the child. How could Lu Huaiyu repeat it?
Ning Li quickly stood up.
“Second Brother, I should probably head back.”
Lu Huaiyu also stood up.
“I’ll see you off.”
Ning Li paused.
She was the one who had called him over, so this did not seem appropriate...
“It’s better if I walk you downstairs.”
Lu Huaiyu glanced at her and smiled as he responded, “Alright then.”
The two of them went downstairs.
Ning Li avoided looking at him the whole time, and there was a half-step distance between them.
Once they were downstairs, Lu Huaiyu did not allow her to step out of the building.
“It’s quite cold outside. Go back inside.”
Lu Huaiyu looked at his watch.
“Let me know when you get back to school.”
Ning Li nodded her head. “Okay.”
She was not sure how she could look at Lu Huaiyu at this time.
Looking at Lu Huaiyu’s back as he left, she was inexplicably relieved.
A cold breeze poured in when the main door opened.
She then realized that her face was still hot.
‘He...didn’t see it, right?’
Ning Li turned around to go back, but she ran right into Gu Siyang again.
“Eh? Ning Li, haven’t you gone back yet?”
Gu Siyang asked as he looked in the direction of Ning Li’s earlier gaze. He vaguely saw a figure in the darkness.
The man was tall, slender, and somewhat familiar, but he was not sure who it was because he could not see clearly.
Ning Li saw that Gu Siyang was still being followed by his small group of friends from earlier. They seemed to be leaving.
“Mm, soon.”
Gu Siyang pointed upstairs.
“My friend’s family is here, so we’re leaving first. Are you guys going back to Capital First High? I can send you back!”
A boy next to him immediately reminded him. “Siyang, didn’t your uncle forbid you from touching any cars?”
Gu Siyang gritted his teeth. “Would it kill you to keep your mouth shut?”
“Thanks for the offer, but there’s no need. Our teacher drove here.”
Ning Li knew that Gu Tinglan had banned Gu Siyang from driving because of the crash last time.
She had not expected that the ban still had not been lifted even after so long.
That car must have been of great importance to the Gu family.
Hearing what she said, Gu Siyang could only say, “Alright then, we’ll get going first.”
Ning Li said goodbye to them before she went upstairs.
...
When Ning Li went up, Ye Ci’s second IV bag had almost finished.
Sun Qingyi saw Ning Li and finally felt at ease.
“Ning Li, you came back just in time. I was just about to call you.”
He glanced behind Ning Li.
Ning Li felt a bit strange. “Mr. Sun, what are you looking at?”
Sun Qingyi asked, “Didn’t you say your friend was also here? He’s not here?”
Ning Li said, “He just left.”
“Oh…” Sun Qingyi’s voice drifted off.
It was fine as long as the student was fine.
Ye Ci also looked over at her with curiosity.
Sun Qingyi was not sure about Ning Li’s situation, but Ye Ci was aware.
‘Does Ning Li have any friends in the capital? Even if she did, how could it be such a coincidence that they ran into each other at this hospital?’
Since Sun Qingyi was here, Ye Ci could not ask more questions, so she could only suppress these suspicions for the time being.
Just then, the last bit in the IV bag finished dripping.
Sun Qingyi called for the nurse to remove the needle.
“Okay, let’s go back.”
...
Ning Li and the two of them went downstairs.
Sun Qingyi said, “I’ll get the car. You guys wait for me here.”
Ye Ci was apologetic and grateful. “Thank you, Mr. Sun. I’m sorry to have troubled you today.”
Sun Qingyi smiled and shook his head, then went to the parking lot.
Ning Li and Ye Ci were the only ones left at the main door.
Ye Ci looked at Ning Li and asked, “Sister Ning Li, Mr. Sun said that you ran into a friend here. Is that why you didn’t come back just now?”
Ning Li’s expression was dull as she looked at Ye Ci.
“Yes. Is there a problem?”
Ye Ci hurriedly said. “No, I’m just a little curious. I didn’t know that you had friends here. Sister Ning Li… Mom wanted to say a few words to you just now, but you weren’t there.”
The corner of Ning Li’s lips curved into a scornful arc.
She already knew what Su Yuan was going to say to her.
Ning Li did not want to hear that, so she had left.
“Whatever.” Ning Li stuck one hand in her pocket. Her expression was calm as she said, “I won’t disturb you guys.”
Ye Ci bit her lip.
She could clearly hear the sarcasm in these words, but there was no way to refute it.
Ning Li really did not seem to care about this.
As for the question Ye Ci had just asked Ning Li, it was obvious that she would not get an answer.
Ye Ci closed her mouth.
...
Lu Huaiyu walked out of the emergency building but did not leave immediately. He went to the parking lot.
Fang Qingyun was waiting in the car.
Seeing that Lu Huaiyu came back alone, Fang Qingyun asked with concern, “Second Young Master, you’re alone?”
Lu Huaiyu knew what he wanted to ask. He pulled open the car door. “Mm.”
Fang Qingyun spoke hesitantly, “Then...that…”
He had not even seen the girl just now, so he did not know how to address her.
Only then did Lu Huaiyu say, “She’s fine.”
Fang Qingyun was slightly relieved. He looked at Lu Huaiyu’s relaxed eyebrows and saw that he seemed to be in a good mood.
‘I guess she’s really fine then…’
Lu Huaiyu was about to get into the car when a surprised voice suddenly came from behind.
“Lu Huaiyu?!”
Hearing this voice, Lu Huaiyu turned around.
Sun Qingyi was driving his car and peeked out of the window.
When he saw Lu Huaiyu’s face, which was still excessively cold and eye-catching even at night, he was shocked.
“When did you get back?”
Lu Huaiyu nodded. “Sun Qingyi, long time no see.”
Both of them, together with Zhou Fei, had been classmates in high school.
Although they had not had much contact over the years, they still had a good relationship.
Sun Qingyi was happy.
“It’s such a coincidence to run into each other here!”
Lu Huaiyu knew that Sun Qingyi had brought Ning Li and Ye Ci over, but he did not say much.
“It’s quite a coincidence.”
Sun Qingyi sized him up and sighed in his heart.
‘Sigh… What Zhou Fei said really made sense. If that photo on the Wall of Fame at Capital First High was replaced with Lu Huaiyu’s current photo, he would probably be even more popular…’
“I brought my student here, so I need to leave now. Let’s get together some other time?”
Lu Huaiyu nodded and got into the car.
Both cars drove out of the parking lot one after another.
When they were at a wider road, Sun Qingyi drove parallel to Lu Huaiyu and finally could not help but say, “Hey, you graduated so many years ago, yet there are still so many girls from our school that have a crush on you. No, no… Not only from our school.”
Sun Qingyi let out a long sigh.
“Even the girls from outside our school can’t escape your charm!”
Lu Huaiyu’s expression was calm and did not seem to mind until Sun Qingyi continued to murmur, “Even this time at the winter camp too…”
Lu Huaiyu paused for a moment. “Who are you talking about?”
Sun Qingyi lifted his chin.
“Over there… Do you see those two girls? The one with the black backpack secretly took your picture the other day.”
Lu Huaiyu followed his line of sight and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Sun Qingyi put his hand on his chin.. “I guess that girl really likes you.”
