Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Delivering a Love Letter_1

Xia Ningxing tugged at the corner of her lips, wondering how to deal with this love letter when a magnetic male voice suddenly reached her ears.

"Why not open it up and take a look?" He curved his lips, his tone playful.

"What’s so good about it... Lu?" Xia Ningxing was saying this when she looked up to meet the man’s half-smiling gaze, and she immediately clammed up, feeling the love letter in her hand burning hot.

How should I put it? It’s like being caught by your parents in a puppy love situation.

It’s super awkward!

Xia Ningxing swallowed nervously, grabbing his sleeve and explaining anxiously, "Lu, listen to me, I really don’t know the class president well, we hardly spoke since school started, I really don’t know why he would give me something like this ..."

Lu Tingli, however, as if gunpowder-lit, cut her off: "I’m not your ’who,’ if someone sends you a love letter then they have, what’s that got to do with me, why do you need to explain anything to me?"

"Besides, you’re an adult now, you’re about to go to university, it’s normal if you want to start dating." He spoke with growing sarcasm.

"I... I haven’t thought about dating yet." Xia Ningxing certainly hadn’t expected such a strong reaction from him, she quickly interjected, "Lu, how about this, wait for me, I’ll go return this love letter right now."

"Don’t be angry, okay?" Xia Ningxing didn’t want such a trivial matter to affect their friendship.

"I wasn’t angry to begin with." Lu Tingli said while taking the love letter from her hand, "Alright, what’s there to return, just give it to me, I’ll take care of it."

"Mm-hmm, I’ll listen to Lu." Xia Ningxing, not wanting to rile him up again, immediately handed over the love letter.

Seeing her so obedient, Lu Tingli felt much more at ease and brought up the main issue, "Xia Ningxing, I’m going to be away for a while, the research institute is sending me to lead a team to another base for a confidential research project."

He had only just returned and now he was leaving again?

She had been thinking about inviting him to join her for a graduation trip during the upcoming summer holidays!

Xia Ningxing suddenly felt like an eggplant beaten by frost, raising her face to ask him, "When exactly are you leaving? And for how long?"

"I’m leaving tomorrow morning." Lu Tingli sighed slightly, "Probably for about a month and a half."

"To a faraway place?" Xia Ningxing held her backpack, staring at him eagerly.

"Not far, at the research base in the neighboring Tom City." Lu Tingli said just enough, and continued, "However, this research requires strict secrecy, and during the research period no phone calls or correspondence is allowed, so we won’t be able to talk on the phone or send any letters."

"I understand, it’s okay, I can understand." Xia Ningxing maintained her pleasant and compliant persona, immediately saying so.

But for some reason, deep down she felt very dejected and sad...

They have parted ways before, but for some reason, this time her reaction was so much more distinct.

It must be because they couldn’t even talk on the phone.

Yes, that must be it!

By the time the two walked out of the campus, the Xia family had all arrived, each of them drenched in sweat, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Indeed, how could they not come at such an important moment as Xia Ningxing’s high school graduation.

"Bao’er!"

Upon seeing Xia Ningxing, everyone immediately swarmed up to her, squeezing Lu Tingli out as if he were just a nuisance.
