Worried, Cheng Xiyue asked, "Do you want me to come with you?"

Lu Huaiyu turned around to shoot him a quick, cold glance.

Cheng Xiyue's survival instinct told him to sit back and wait. He would be better off putting that thought away. "Um, okay, anyway, be safe. Call me if you need anything!"

Lu Huaiyu then walked away.

It was raining heavily in the middle of the night, and the ground was filled with puddles. A single step into the water saw the rain soaking his shoes and the hem of his pants, but he did not care.

With the umbrella wide open above his head, he walked towards the dark building.

.......

Rat-a-tat.

Knocks came from the door, waking Ning Li up. She saw the portrait on the paper and frowned slightly. She had been sketching freely, but for some reason, she had depicted Lu Huaiyu's portrait at the end.

Just when she was about to crumple the paper, her eyes fell on the portrait again, stopping her in the midst of her action.

In the end, she put the other sketches on top of it and went to answer the door.

"Wei Songze?"

Who else could it be at this hour other than him? But why would he be back in the middle of the night?

A pleasant and rich voice came from outside the door. "It's me."

Ning Li was shocked as she thought that she heard wrongly.

"Second Brother?"

She looked through the peephole and saw Lu Huaiyu.

Should he not be at the capital? Why would he be here in Yunzhou, looking for her here?

An outrageous thought appeared in her mind as she opened the door.

Lu Huaiyu finally saw Ning Li. She was still wearing her school uniform and her soft hair was rather messy while her widened eyes were evidence of her astonishment.

Fortunately, she was well and fine.

"Second Brother, why are you-"

"You turned off your phone. Your family has been searching for you." Lu Huaiyu said nonchalantly.

Ning Li frowned. She just wanted to be alone for the night to enjoy the peace and quiet. She did not expect her actions to catch Lu Huaiyu's attention. Little did she think that he would have come back for her on this very night.

"Are you here alone?" he asked as he had a peek inside.

Ning Li nodded.

"Pack your things. Cheng Xiyue is waiting downstairs." He sounded different from usual. She could tell he was mad, but...

She did not want to go back.

At other times, she would have gone back and been patient with her mother but not today.

Lu Huaiyu walked in and declared, "I'll help you pack."

Ning Li noticed that the hem of his pants was wet. It was pouring outside, and the man had flown back from the capital just like that. He probably did not even have a minute to rest on the way back.

Suddenly, a heavy feeling settled over her as if she had a rock on her chest.

Just when Lu Huaiyu was about to walk in, she tugged on his sleeve and held him back, so he paused and turned around to her.
