Shen Yunci came back to her senses and shook her head unnaturally. “No, I’m fine. Mommy’s alright.”
However, she did not appear fine at all.
Lu Ning turned to look at Shen Guang. “Principal, my mother doesn’t seem to be feeling well, so I’ll bring her back first.”
Lu Ning supported Shen Yunci and was about to leave when Shen Guang raised his hand to stop her.
“Hold up!”
Shen Guang leaned closer and looked at Shen Yunci with a frown. He looked at Shen Yunci’s face as if he was trying to recognize something.
Shen Yunci avoided his gaze and spontaneously grabbed Lu Ning’s arm.
“Ning’ning, go back first. I need to have a few words with your principal.”
Lu Ning was taken aback for a moment before nodding. “Okay.”
She looked at Shen Yunci worriedly before walking away.
After Lu Ning turned the corner and was out of sight, Shen Yunci turned towards Shen Guang.
“Come over here.”
Her eyes were a little red. When she spoke to Shen Guang, her words carried a mysterious authority.
Shen Guang came back to his senses and followed Shen Yunci into the school building through the side door. After entering, he closed the door.
After waiting for a moment, Lu Ning stuck her head out and looked at the path; Shen Yunci and Shen Guang were no longer there. Lu Ning walked out and went over as quietly as possible. She turned around and headed to the corner just now.
There was no one there, and Huo Jinyan was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Ning walked closer to the corner of the wall and squatted down to look at the weeds by the corner. A few leaves were stained with blood.
Lu Ning raised her hand and looked at her wrist. There was a bloody finger mark on her wrist. She raised her hand and took out a wet tissue from her pocket to wipe the blood mark off her wrist. Then, she wiped the blood off the weeds in the corner.
Lu Ning got up and walked along the corner of the wall on the other side. If she saw any blood, she would wipe it with a tissue. She followed the trail of blood all the way to the school’s parking lot and stood at the entrance, peering inside…
Sis!”
Shen Guang stood by the stairs and watched for a moment before calling out with a trembling voice.
His tone was filled with disbelief.
Shen Yunci saw that his eyes were also red.
The two of them had not seen each other for more than 20 years. The only reason they had interacted again was because of Lu Ning. Previously, the two of them had been focused on Lu Ning in the hospital and had not taken a closer look at each other. They could not match their figures from more than 20 years ago with a hurried glance.
If it were not for the mole on Shen Guang’s wrist, Shen Yunci would only find
him familiar, but she would not have associated him with the Shen family.
Shen Guang went forward and looked at Shen Yunci excitedly. His eyes were red and tears streamed down his face. His voice was trembling. “Sister… you’ve grown so old.”
His voice trembled on the last two words, unable to believe that the beautiful face in his memory was showing signs of aging.
Shen Yunci was crying as well. “Aren’t you the same?”
Shen Guang grabbed her arm. “Sister! For so many years, have you always been staying around here?!”
Shen Yunci patted the back of his hand. “Yes.”
Shen Guang looked at her. “What about Auntie! Is she with you too?”
Shen Yunci shook her head, tears dripping down her cheeks. “No, we aren’t staying together.”
Shen Guang looked at her in confusion. “The two of you, aren’t staying together?”
Looking at her in surprise, Shen Guang could not help but add, “Why?” Shen Yunci shook her head, unwilling to say it now.
Shen Guang did not interrogate her. Instead, he looked at her and said excitedly, “Then return to the capital with me! Bring Auntie and Uncle along.”
“I can’t!”
