156 Go Home

Chu Mansion.

Chu Ning did not regain consciousness until the next morning. After opening his eyes, it took him a while to re-orientate himself. That’s not right! I was at Tian Lu Academy, talking about how I would head to Wan Ling Mountain to look for Yue’er. How did I get home?

He struggled to get up and toppled the teacup next to his bed.

After hearing the noise, the person waiting outside hurried in. “Lord Chu Ning, you’re awake?”

Chu Ning blankly stared at the man who entered. “You are?”

“I’m a teacher from Tian Lu Academy, Xin Shi. Elder Sun asked me to send you back. Now that you’re awake, I can return with peace of mind now.”

Due to standing guard outside for a night, Xin Shi looked a little haggard. However, his eyes were sincere. “You fainted because you were too agitated yesterday. It’s nothing grave. You’ll be fine after resting for a day or two.”

Chu Ning only returned to his senses then. “Thank you.”

Xin Shi did not know what to do. Considering Chu Ning’s current state, people might believe me if I say that Chu Ning has gone crazy. How can I possibly let Chu Ning go to Wan Ling Mountain alone when he’s like this?

Xin Shi tried to pull Chu Ning back a few times but failed. He could only run in front of Chu Ning and block his path. “Please, listen to me! Chu Ning, no matter what you want to do, you have to take care of yourself! What if something happens to you in your current state?”

Chu Ning walked around him and pressed on stubbornly. “I’ve got to go. I have to go…”

At this point, a young girl’s bright voice came from behind Chu Ning. “Father, where are you going?”

Chu Ning trembled. This is a voice that I’m very familiar with! However… Am I imagining things because of how much I miss her?

“Father?”

Chu Ning wanted more than anything to turn and look behind him, but his body was stiff.

Xin Shi looked up and saw a young girl coming from around the corner.

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

The young girl with a smile on her face was slender and pretty. Her eyes were bright and reflective, seeming to outshine everything around her.

It was only then that Chu Ning could move. He slowly turned and finally saw the face that he thought he would never see again.

Chu Liuyue was stunned by the way Chu Ning looked. In just a few days, the originally clean and dashing Chu Ning looked totally different.

His face was covered in stubble, and there were dark circles under his eyes. His eyes were also bloodshot as a sense of despair came from between his eyes. It was like he had become the walking dead.

Tears welled up in her eyes. “Father, I’m sorry I came back this late.”

Chu Ning stared at her without blinking. He gripped Chu Liuyue’s hand tightly as if afraid she would disappear. “Yue’er… Yue’er… my Yue’er…”

Chu Ning’s cries broke her heart.

She forced her tears back. “Father, let’s go home first.”

“Right, right! Go home!’ Chu Ning finally came back to life. “Let’s go home!”
