1539: Are You Crying?

Are You Crying?

Jiang Yao lowered her head and nodded. Without looking up at Lu Xingzhi, she pushed him to get into the car.0

Lu Xingzhi carried his luggage, but his footsteps were as heavy as lead. In the end, he lowered his head and kissed the corner of her eyes. Finally, he turned around and started walking toward the car. He opened the car door and got in.

Lu Xingzhi touched his lips as he sat in the car's back seat. There seemed to be water there as if they were tears from Jiang Yao's eyes. He licked it lightly. It was salty.

She had been crying.

She lowered her head because she did not want him to see her crying.

Jiang Yao waited until the car drove away before she slowly closed the door in a daze.

It was not the first time that Jiang Yao had been separated from Lu Xingzhi. Perhaps it was because she had been inseparable from him during that period—so inseparable that she had gotten used to the days when the two of them were stuck together every day. It was difficult for her to calm down when they had to separate.

It would be hard to get used to that.

She only needed a little time to get used to having another person by her side who was considerate of her. However, it would take a long time to get used to the days when he was not by her side.

With him around, she could stay a willful girl. She could be at ease as he spoiled and protected her.

Without him around, she had to be the Jiang Yao who could take care of herself well.

She had to be independent and strong. She had to adapt to the loneliness of having no one by her side and no one to hold her at night.

She also had to take care of herself so that he did not have to worry about her even though he could not see her. He would not have to frown and scold her the next time they met.

"Sister."

Cheng Jinnian suddenly appeared behind Jiang Yao and called her softly, "He left? When will he come back?"

Jiang Yao was shocked by the sudden voice and quickly wiped her eyes before turning to look at Cheng Jinnian. Before she could say anything to chase him away, Cheng Jinnian exclaimed, "Are you crying?"

"No!"

Jiang Yao's hair stood on end as if someone had stepped on her tail. Cheng Jinnian retorted before moving backward. She did not even bother to say anything to chase him away.

"Sister, he left just like that. I'm still with you!" Cheng Jinnian raised his short legs and jogged after her.

Five minutes after getting into the taxi, he asked the taxi driver to change the route to another town in the county. He did not book a ticket for two o'clock. Instead, he booked a ticket for five o'clock. He needed to go to another town to deal with some matters before his flight.

Before Lu Xingzhi returned to his hometown, he did not think that Old Madam Lin would go to Jiang Yao's school in Nanjiang City to look for Jiang Yao. When she could not find Jiang Yao there, she returned to her hometown and ruined Jiang Yao's reputation.

Lu Xingzhi realized that the Lin family was also trying to cause trouble for Jiang Yao, and it was also particularly disgusting.

Lu Xingzhi went to that town because an old friend from the police station had called him and told him that Old Madam Lin had been going to the police station for the past few days. She wanted to identify her granddaughter and register her as part of her household.

When Lu Xingzhi arrived at the town's police station, he found out that his friend had told him the truth. He saw Old Madam Lin causing a commotion as soon as he arrived at the police station.
