Chapter 72: You've returned, but I'm no longer here

  She heard his low and pleasant voice beside her ear, slightly hoarse: "You're here, how can I bear to leave..."

  She wanted to say something else, but her throat was choked with sobs and she couldn't utter a word. She simply stretched out both hands, wrapped them around his neck, and buried herself in the crook of his neck.

  She thought she would never see him again, she thought that in this life, they would be separated by the afterlife.

  She sobbed, tears streaming down her face, and she didn't even know if she was happy or what, happiness shouldn't be accompanied by crying, but she just couldn't stop.

  He slowly let go of her, looking at her tear-stained face, bowed his head, and gently kissed her eyes, forehead, nose, cheeks... just like before.

  Except lips.

  He never kissed her lips, even when kissing her neck and earlobes, he still never kissed her lips.

  She once asked him why, he was silent for a long time before answering her, he feared he couldn't hold back.

  He said, Luo, I hope you will always be as pure as snowflakes, crystal clear and untainted.

  Many times, she clearly felt his urge, but he just wouldn't touch her.

  She thought, perhaps this was also one of the reasons she loved him so much. No matter when, he would rather hurt himself than hurt her.

  His lips stopped at her chin and then slowly moved away.

  Xue Luo felt something was off and opened her eyes to see him stroking the hair on the back of her neck, then his face slowly sank down.

  She suddenly remembered the bruise on her neck and hastily waved away his hand, pulling her hair over to cover it.

  But it's too late now.

  "Did you sleep with him?" His voice was soft, but she knew he was angry, or furious.

  Snowflakes fell down her head, she didn't dare speak, and even more didn't dare look at his cold face.

  He never scolded her, but that didn't mean she hadn't seen him get angry before.

  He had once punished one of his men with such calmness, without a ripple, just two light words: Flogging. The man came back later, already battered and bruised.

  He wouldn't let her see such a thing, but that day she coincidentally forgot to bring her textbook and returned, so she saw someone in such a bloody state.

  But Snow knew that he would never use this trick on her, even if she was really wrong, he wouldn't vent his anger on her. But it didn't mean the matter would pass just like that.

  He didn't say another word, just put his arm around her and walked towards the car.

  The snow fell with a hesitant thread, and suddenly remembered Xuanxuan, she was nowhere to be seen, she must have been anxious.

  She wanted to send her a message, only to remember that her phone had fallen to the ground. She also thought of the bottle of medicine, which was no longer in her hand. She didn't know where it had fallen, but she clearly remembered holding onto it tightly when she got on the bus.

  "My phone fell off, can you lend me your phone for a moment? Xuanxuan is still waiting for me there..." Yuelu said as she saw the car start up.

  Yi looked up at the sky and gave her a comforting smile, then patted the person in front of him on the back. The person immediately took out their phone and handed it to him: "Tian Ge..."

  He took over the snowfall.

  It's snowing heavily and I'm busy making a phone call to Qianqian.

  Jing Jing and Aaron had just set out to look for something, when her phone rang. She took it out and saw an unfamiliar number, but she didn't care, quickly pressing the answer button.

  "Qianqian..."

  "Snow!" Xuanxuan's sudden cry made Cangmu stop in his tracks.

  He quickly turned and walked towards Qianqian, hearing her anxiously ask: "Xueluo where are you? You're going to worry me to death..."

  Cang Mu snatched Xuan Xuan's phone and heard the sound of Xue Luo on the other end:

  "I... I just ran into a friend..."

  "What friend?!" He suddenly spoke out, also startling the snowfall on the other side.

  She couldn't imagine how Cang Mu would be with Xuan Xuan together, and even more unexpected was that he would directly ask out loud, what friend? What could she say?

  Snow fell and he panicked, originally unable to tell lies, now nervous, even more unsure of what to say.

  The people around her glanced at her, stretched out their hands and took away her mobile phone. Snow fell with wide eyes, the tension on her face had turned into fear, she wanted to grab back her phone, but saw him put it to his ear and listened for a moment before hanging up the call.

  The phone call was dialed again, but the other end had already hung up.

  Mei Ying walked out of the pharmacy: "I've checked the surveillance footage and didn't see any suspicious followers..."

  Cang Mu didn't say a word, he just handed Qianqian's phone to Meiying: "Check this number..."

  Meiying glanced at the phone number on the screen and suddenly understood, rushing into the car.

  "Miss, for the time being, please stay with us..." Cang Mu said to Xuan Xuan, Xuan Xuan nodded hastily. Aaron was about to follow them when he was stopped by Cang Mu, "Thank you for your concern, we will notify you if there is any news..."

  Aaron could only watch as their car drove away.

  The result of the phone inquiry was a new number registered just yesterday, and the owner of the mobile phone was Peter.

  Needless to say, all of this was well-prepared.

  It's either him or her, since they won't harm her if she can make a call. And since he hasn't received any threatening calls so far, it must be the latter.

  With such great care, quietly taking her away, in the whole world, there is only one person.

  That is Eddie Sanders, the leader of the Heavenly Way, Chinese name: Yi Xiang Tian.

  He didn't die after all!

  Cang Mu gazed at the mobile phone in her hand, this was her thing, he still had his first time, so close to touch it carefully.

  He flipped it open, and on the phone screen was her own photo, smiling sweetly. In the address book, there were only a few people, and he immediately saw that eye-catching "Tian" character, but above his number, it was blank.

  Is she blank to him, or does she categorize him as a blank?
