Cute little witch.

Chapter 33 - The Little Witch Becomes a Roadrunner

On Friday afternoon, it started to rain heavily in Orange City.

In fact, not long before that, the news of the typhoon passing through had already been reported on TV. For this reason, Lu Xiaotong specially stuffed an umbrella into Lu Yu's hands, lest she forget to bring one and get trapped in school and have to wait for others to rescue her later.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiaotong went to the city center together with Ning Xinyue. It was said that they were going to pick up some clothes, and they even mentioned that the clothes were custom-made. Lu Yu was completely confused when she heard that.

However, these had nothing to do with Lu Yu. She stared blankly at the rain outside the window that hadn't stopped for a long time. Finally, she decided to pack her schoolbag and leave school.

The Lu family lived quite close to Orange Middle School. With the umbrella given by Lu Xiaotong, this short distance was completely manageable.

The umbrella that Lu Xiaotong gave Lu Yu was not a common folding umbrella but a long-handled umbrella that often appeared in TV dramas. Once opened, it could easily shelter three or four people without any problem.

However, Lu Yu was always a bit scared of such an umbrella. Especially when going down the stairs, she was always worried that something unexpected might happen.

She could only blame herself for watching the anime "Another" when she was alone at home before...

Since watching that anime, Lu Yu's umbrellas had basically been folding ones.

After packing up her things, Lu Yu gently tiptoed to feel the heaviness of her schoolbag on her back. Then she opened the umbrella and walked out of the school.

Tomorrow would be the National Day holiday. Almost every subject had assigned a lot of homework. Although Lu Yu had already finished a part of it at school, when it came time to pack up the things to take home, her schoolbag was still stuffed full.

Lu Yu walked along the long school path and finally made her way back to the urban village. When she got home, she canceled the puppet substitute and returned to her original form.

She put down her schoolbag, took out her mobile phone, and held it in her small hands, continuing to watch the anime that she hadn't finished before. When an episode just ended, she rubbed her eyes and shifted her gaze to the window to relax her eyes.

And it was at this moment that she saw a dejected figure through the window.

Chen Zihan was standing alone in the rain for some reason, mechanically taking steps and slowly walking towards her home. The rain completely drenched her face, sticking her bangs and sideburns to her face. Her once bright red lips were now completely pale, and her usually bright eyes were extremely hollow.

She looked very much like how Lu Xiaoyu had seen her that night before. But at that time, she was drunk and venting the emotions pent up inside her randomly, while now she was keeping everything bottled up inside her and didn't even react when getting soaked by the rain.
