Chapter 542: Chapter 542 Cute Childhood Sweetheart VS Beautiful New Love (32)

Gu Shengyin saw Qing Luochen’s parents from a distance.

They were a middle-aged couple dressed quite carefully, but at that moment, upon receiving the news of their daughter’s death, their faces showed only panic and pain.

The homeroom teachers of each class immediately issued a strict order prohibiting students from discussing this matter; the library became the Forbidden Land.

Gu Shengyin was not in the mood for watching the excitement.

After school, she immediately saw Lu Yu waiting not far from the school gate.

Lu Yu looked at her with obvious concern, "Are you okay?"

Gu Shengyin shook her head, "What could possibly happen to me?"

Lu Yu felt relieved. When he heard there was an incident at Third High School, that a girl had jumped off the building, and that the girl was Qing Luochen, his first thought was: I wonder if Xuanxuan was frightened.

Thankfully, she seemed to be in decent shape.

Any other girl would probably have been terrified by now.

A thought crossed Lu Yu’s mind, and his hand reached out faster than his thoughts to grab Gu Shengyin’s hand.

Gu Shengyin was startled and looked at him in surprise.

Lu Yu turned his head to give her a gentle smile, "I was really worried about you."

Dazzled by the smile, Gu Shengyin hesitated for a moment, not pulling her hand away.

Lu Yu felt the warm, soft touch in his hand and glimpsed the girl’s reddening ear tips out of the corner of his eye. Suddenly, his mood lifted in an unprecedented way.

"I’ll see you tomorrow," Gu Shengyin said softly with a flush on her face when they arrived at the destination.

"Goodbye," Lu Yu let go of her hand.

Gu Shengyin ran up the stairs all the way.

Watching her, Lu Yu couldn’t help but smile involuntarily.

In the days that followed, there seemed to be an unspoken understanding between the two.

They would go to school and return home together; occasionally, they would go out during holidays and leave messages for each other if there was something on.

Neither had ever spoken the words hidden in their hearts.

Gu Shengyin and Lu Yu maintained a relationship that was more than friends, but less than lovers.

Yet between the two, no matter who, it had to be admitted that there was a feeling no one else could intrude upon.

When Gu Shengyin entered her second year of university, Huang Anyuan transferred schools.

On one hand, there was the public opinion.

Even though Qing Luochen’s death had been confirmed by the police as a suicide, everyone still believed it was inseparable from Huang Anyuan.

On the other hand, he was moving.

Mr. Huang’s business had been encountering various problems for the past year, and the family’s assets were steadily dwindling.

They all knew that this was revenge by Qing Luochen’s parents against Huang’s Family.

Mr. Huang had thought of resisting, of calling the police. However, each time within three days, what followed was an even more malicious provocation.

The Huang Family compromised.

Unable to provoke further, they knew China was vast, and there were places beyond the Qing Family’s reach.

Huang Anyuan came looking for Gu Shengyin.

By her reckoning, it had been almost a year since Gu Shengyin had last seen Huang Anyuan.

The person before her was almost unrecognizable.

The former Huang Anyuan was handsome, confident, youthful, and lively, with a vigor unique to young people.

But now, the boy standing in front of Gu Shengyin wore a jacket that was neither new nor old, his expression gloomy, no longer the sparkle in his eyes, and even untrimmed stubble on his chin.

It was as if he and the former Huang Anyuan were two completely different people.

Gu Shengyin couldn’t help but think: If Qing Luochen could see Huang Anyuan like this now, she probably wouldn’t even give him a second glance.
