Chapter 337: Chapter 335: Will You Go Then?_1

Xia Ningxing looked at the letter and couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile, yet the amusement didn’t reach her eyes.

The letter read, "Baby Xing, my longing for you has driven me nearly mad, so I arrived here a day early, hoping to see you."

I’m temporarily staying in the town, but I injured my hand in a minor incident yesterday, so this letter is written by someone else. I’ll explain the specifics to you tonight, let’s meet at the bamboo house at the foot of the mountain at eight o’clock.

The letter seemed harmless at first glance, but in fact, it was full of loopholes.

Let’s not mention that Lu Tingli had written to her a couple of days ago, saying he was very busy with the company and the research institute might need him at any time, leaving him no time to come over.

The biggest giveaway, though, was how did he know there was a bamboo house at the mountain’s foot here?

Xia Ningxing literally felt insulted in her intelligence.

It seemed Wu Wenwen thought she was some brainless rich girl who could easily be fooled!

Indeed, typical lovey-dovey couples upon hearing their partner got injured would probably be frantic to the point where they wouldn’t have the time to doubt the validity of the situation.

It’s just like those scam messages in the future; at the bottom of one’s heart, they might know it’s probably a fake, but concern creates chaos, so they end up fooled.

However, she actually used the words "Baby Xing"...

Presumably, she had sneaked a peek at the letters Lu Tingli had written to her before and was imitating his tone.

Xia Ningxing narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of danger flashing through them.

Good! Well done! Bravo! She would surely ’reward’ her properly!

Ruan Ruanruan, however, remained oblivious and teased her with a wink: "Xiaxia, are you going tonight?"

Xia Ningxing answered without a hint of hesitation, "Of course, I am."

How could she miss out on a good show?

"Then Xiaxia, can I go with you? I’m really curious about what your boyfriend looks like. I want to see what kind of man has the good fortune to be our Xiaxia’s boyfriend!" Ruan Ruanruan gazed at her eagerly like a curious baby.

Not far away, on the kang bed, Wu Wenwen, who was pretending to read a book but was actually intently watching the two of them, suddenly became anxious.

If Ruan Ruanruan followed along, wouldn’t that be a nuisance?

While Wu Wenwen was fretting like an ant on a hot pan, Xia Ningxing patted her head and mockingly huffed, "Go away. Why would we bring a third wheel like you to our date?"

Ruan Ruanruan pursed her lips and looked at her coquettishly, "Are you really not taking me with you, Xiaxia?"

"No," Xia Ningxing refused again without hesitation.

If she took her along, how could the drama unfold later?

Ruan Ruanruan heaved a long sigh and looked at her mournfully, "All right then, even if you hide him from me now, when we return to Capital City, I refuse to believe I won’t get to see him!"

Ruan Ruanruan, who had been full of little grievances just a moment ago, suddenly perked up again.

Such a girl was truly wonderful.

Xia Ningxing was increasingly inclined to make her part of her own family.

As time went by, eight o’clock quickly approached.

Xia Ningxing put on her down jacket and prepared to leave for her appointment.

"Xiaxia, be careful and come back early!" Ruan Ruanruan fussed over her like a mother.

Xia Ningxing responded, then as if remembering something, she said to her, "Don’t worry about me, just sleep well."

After speaking, she pushed open the door and left the room.

Once she was gone, Wu Wenwen’s lips curled up in triumph.

Soon after, she rolled off the kang and said, "I’m going to the toilet."

Having made her excuse, Wu Wenwen quickly left and discreetly followed Xia Ningxing.

In her hand, she held a small camera, ready to capture all of Xia Ningxing’s embarrassing moments.

Some time after Wu Wenwen left, Xu Li also followed suit.

However, she wasn’t going to the bathroom; following Wu Wenwen’s instructions, she ran to the town to find the counselor.

"What’s the matter so late at night?" the counselor asked as he opened the door, frowning at Xu Li.

Xu Li’s eyes were red, and she started sobbing, clutching his arm, "Teacher, Xia Ningxing has suddenly disappeared, please quickly gather people to help look for her."

"How could she just disappear?" This was no small matter. The counselor broke out in a cold sweat, his drowsiness completely gone. He hurriedly put on his glasses and called for the other male students who had come to the countryside to help.

"Everyone, don’t sleep, a female student is missing, hurry up and help look for her!"

"Who is it?"

The counselor answered, "Xia Ningxing."

At the mention of that name, the boys’ eyes widened, and they hurriedly dressed to go out and search for her.

After all, Xia Ningxing was the dream girl of all those young men!

Now that their dream girl was missing, how could they not be anxious?

...

On the kang, Ruan Ruanruan was also experiencing insomnia that night, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

She glanced at the empty space next to her and then at the time on her watch; it was almost ten o’clock. Why hadn’t Xiaxia come back yet?

As Ruan Ruanruan was thinking this, she heard a bustling noise coming from down the hill.

The footsteps were chaotic; it seemed like there were many people.

And Ruan Ruanruan wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she thought she could hear someone calling Xiaxia’s name.

What was happening?

Could it be that Xiaxia was in some kind of trouble?

And why had Wu Wenwen and Xu Li also not come back yet?

For some reason, Ruan Ruanruan’s heart felt unsettled, a faint anxiety creeping over her.

The thought that Xiaxia might be in danger made it impossible for her to stay in the warmth of her bed any longer.

She immediately rolled off the kang, quickly got dressed, wrapped a scarf around her neck, put on a hat, and ran down the hill to look for Xia Ningxing.

When Ruan Ruanruan got to the bottom of the hill, she saw a crowd of people holding flashlights and calling Xia Ningxing’s name.

"Classmate, what happened?" Ruan Ruanruan, confused about the situation, couldn’t help but pull one of the students aside to ask.

The student shone a flashlight on her face and recognized her, "Aren’t you Xia Ningxing’s roommate? How do you not know about her disappearance?"

"Missing?" Ruan Ruanruan couldn’t help but raise her voice, looking at him incredulously.

Xiaxia was supposed to be meeting her boyfriend, wasn’t she? How could she just disappear, what were these people up to?

"Yes, missing!" The student nodded again, looking at her suspiciously, "That girl from your dorm named Xu Li even specifically ran to find the counselor to talk about Xia Ningxing’s disappearance."

Hearing this, Ruan Ruanruan immediately felt a chill down her spine.

It wasn’t just because Xia Ningxing was missing, but because Xu Li knew very well that Xia Ningxing had gone to meet her boyfriend. So why would she say that she was missing?

Damn!

Xiaxia had definitely been set up!

Ruan Ruanruan was naive, but no fool; at this point, she could clearly see what was going on.

And worst of all, from inside the nearby bamboo house came such noises...

"It sounds like there’s someone inside; Xia Ningxing might be in there!" At that moment, Xu Li yelled out to the crowd, pointing toward the bamboo house.

Afterwards, as if she had just heard noises from inside, her face flushed with a mix of shame and pain as she exclaimed, "Oh my god, Xia Ningxing, she... she must have encountered something terrible!"

"We must all help her!"
