But seeing him seemingly about to leave the school now, Cheng Suisui worried she would no longer have the chance to speak, so she couldn’t help but blurt out her true feelings.
Jiang Yibai nodded indifferently, "Yeah, I know."
Cheng Suisui, slightly excited, continued, "Then, do you have time? I would like to go watch the meteor shower with you."
"That..." Upon hearing this, Jiang Yibai hesitated for a moment, but then seeming to think of something, he nodded, "Yes, I can."
He originally thought that if he suddenly asked Mengmeng to watch the meteor shower with him it might be awkward. Now that Cheng Suisui had taken the initiative, Jiang Yibai was naturally happy to take her along.
However, Cheng Suisui was oblivious to his ulterior motives and thought that Jiang Yibai truly wanted to bring her. She was so excited she could almost lose her bearings, "Jiang Yibai, you, you are really a good person!"
He sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Actually, I am not a good person."
How could anyone who often hopes for others to divorce be a good person?
"Huh? What did you say?" His voice was so low that Cheng Suisui didn’t catch what he was muttering to himself.
Jiang Yibai shook his head slowly, changing the subject, "It’s nothing. It’s getting late, let’s go."
"Okay!" At this moment, Cheng Suisui was solely focused on the idea of watching the meteor shower, so she didn’t ask further, cheerfully following the tall boy.
When they left the school gate, Jiang Yibai immediately hailed a taxi.
"To Peach Blossom Mountain."
After boarding the taxi, Jiang Yibai then mentioned the destination.
"Wow? We’re going to Peach Blossom Mountain to watch the meteor shower, meow?" Cheng Suisui was a little surprised, then quickly said in delight, "I saw on my social feed that Mengmeng and her husband are also watching the meteor shower at Peach Blossom Mountain. Do you think we might run into them later?"
After smiling, Jiang Yibai lowered his head to text Mengmeng, sending a few messages to ask for her exact location.
"That’s great." Cheng Suisui, in her joy, completely overlooked the certainty in his tone.
If she had paid attention, she would have realized that the reason the young man wanted to go to Peach Blossom Mountain was really Mengmeng, not for any meteor shower.
After arriving at Peach Blossom Mountain, Jiang Yibai checked his phone again and saw that Mengmeng had not replied. He frowned and decided to call her.
To his surprise, the phone was switched off.
He called many times, but it was still off.
Could he have been blocked?
Jiang Yibai pursed his lips momentarily, then began to let his imagination run wild.
"What’s wrong?" Seeing his odd expression, Cheng Suisui couldn’t help but ask.
"Nothing." Jiang Yibai always disliked revealing his thoughts in front of others. He put away his phone as if nothing happened and casually said, "It’s more fun with more people to watch the meteor shower. Do you want to try contacting Mengmeng?"
"Sure!" Cheng Suisui also intended to do so, she immediately took out her phone to call Mengmeng.
But her situation was the same as Jiang Yibai’s; the call didn’t go through.
"Mengmeng’s phone is off; I can’t reach her," Cheng Suisui said sullenly.
At this point, Jiang Yibai understood that he hadn’t been blocked, Mengmeng’s phone was really off.
So how was he going to find her?
Jiang Yibai was silent for a moment, then looked at Cheng Suisui again, "Do you have Gu Zhihan’s contact information?"
