Chapter 513: Chapter 513 Did something happen? Chapter 513: Chapter 513 Did something happen? Luo Qiao looked at the bump that had formed on her head and suddenly laughed, a bit of schadenfreude in her words, “I’m really amazed by your luck.”
Shen Juan smiled and said, “I didn’t expect we’d meet again.”
Shen Juan asked the person next to her to switch seats so she could sit with Luo Qiao, and the two of them chatted quite happily the entire journey.
It was then that Luo Qiao learned the girl’s name was Shen Juan, from Ji City, just like her, about to start her junior year of high school.
Shen Juan had last visited Jinan to see her second uncle, and this time, it was her older brother who had gotten injured and was in the hospital. Her mother couldn’t leave home as she was taking care of her daughter-in-law who was in her postpartum period, so she volunteered.
Her older brother was discharged the day before yesterday, and she had stayed until everything was settled before leaving. School had already started the day before, and she was worried about falling behind in her classes, which is why she hurried back.
The two of them passed the time by chatting, and it went by quickly. When they arrived at their destination, Shen Juan’s father picked her up from the train door, and Luo Qiao looked up to see Lu Yichen standing right across from her.
Lu Yichen walked up to Luo Qiao and said, “Let’s go, time to go home.”
He took a step forward, grabbed Luo Qiao’s hand, and started walking towards the exit.
Luo Qiao, looking at the hand that was pulling hers, wondered what had gotten into him.
When they were far enough away from the train station, Lu Yichen finally stopped, his heart almost leaping out of his chest. With no one around, he directly pulled Luo Qiao into his embrace, “If you didn’t come back, I was planning to look for you.”
Luo Qiao, catching the scent of soap on Lu Yichen’s clothes, asked, “Did something happen?��
Lu Yichen said, “Qiaoqiao, I want to discuss something with you.”
Luo Qiao answered, “Go ahead, what is it?”
Lu Yichen said, “I promised my grandfather that I’d move back to Capital City before the end of the year.”
Although Luo Qiao felt somewhat uneasy, relocating to Capital City was essentially a good thing, since all of Lu Yichen’s family was there, and their relationship hadn’t been made clear. Besides, she was often not in Ji City herself, so why should she expect him to stay there on her account?
Looking up, she said, “Congratulations, that’s great news, especially since your family is all in Capital City.”
Luo Qiao thought of Stone, “Stone is studying here; he can just come live with me then.”
Lu Yichen felt a pang in his heart, “Qiaoqiao, don’t you have anything else to say?”
Luo Qiao sighed, “I don’t have the right, nor the reason, to nitpick about your affairs.”
Lu Yichen was truly anxious now, pulling her close into his embrace once more, “But you do, you clearly know my feelings.”
Luo Qiao said, “But I also told you, I’m still young, and I’m not considering dating right now.”
Lu Yichen said, “Qiaoqiao, can’t we make it official first?”
Luo Qiao laughed, “What’s the difference?”
Lu Yichen replied, “There is a difference, that way my intentions will be clear, and I can go about my own matters with peace of mind. And if anyone dares to have designs on you, I’d be able to deal with them openly.”
Luo Qiao didn’t know how to respond, so she changed the subject, “Did you sort out the person at your unit who was harassing you?”
When Luo Qiao brought up the issue at the unit, Lu Yichen’s expression turned severe, “Soon, they’ve crossed my line, and they’ll have to pay the price.”
It turned out that after Cai Yajing ran off crying that day, she went straight home. Once Father Cai learned of the whole situation from his daughter, he decided to make life difficult for Lu Yichen the very next day, encouraged by his wife.
Moreover, when he left work today, Cai Yajing was waiting for him at the main gate, saying that as long as he bowed his head, she would get her father to let him off. Lu Yichen looked at her scornfully, then walked away without looking back.
He quickly grabbed some food from the cafeteria, steamed some rice at home, and sorted out everything for Stone before he left the house.
He thought about fixing up Luo Qiao’s yard, which although tidied every day, he still went through it with scrupulous detail, cleaning it from the inside out.
