Chapter 87 (Part 1)
The school bell rang signalling the end of the day. This was the last day of the first week of military training and the next two days was the weekend, so everyone seemed to be in extremely high spirits. When everyone returned to the class to pick up their bags, Lu Anran has also sat back in the classroom and was looking out of the window thinking deeply. It was only when Ji Ling patted her on her back that she came back to reality, “Hm?”

“What are you thinking about? School’s over!” Ji Ling carried her own bag and said to Lu Anran, “Let’s go!”

“O orh!” Lu Anran responded a couple of times before she halted her train of thought. She then stood up, packed away her stuff and carried her bag to follow Ji Ling out of the classroom. “Anran!” Qin Shumo called to stopped Anran who was about to walk away. “Don’t forget we are going to the movies tomorrow!”

“Eh?” For a split second, Lu Anran was confused but she immediately nodded when she remembered her promise to Qin Shumo, “OK! Call me whenever!”

“Yep!” Qin Shumo smiled and waved at Lu Anran.

“How nice! You can go to the movies!” Ji Ling tugged on Lu Anran’s arm with a face full of jealousy.

“Let’s go together!” Lu Anran extended an invitation.

“I don’t have time….” Ji Ling said frustratedly. “We are already in our first year of high school.  Can’t skip even one lesson of cram school.”
“Your life sure is sad ah!” Lu Anran shook her head helplessly. As the two of them walk to the school gate, she noticed that Lu Anhu was already waiting there. This was what they have agreed on earlier. Today he followed Chu Yao up until the school gate, and he really discovered something!

“Bye bye~ I’m going to catch the bus!” Ji Ling said, waving goodbye to Lu Anran and Lu Anhu.

“Bye!” The both of them replied and waved back.

Noticing that Lu Anhu was also waving goodbye to her, Ji Ling knew that he was not angry with her previous words and sighed in relief.

“What happened during your shadowing?” Lu Anran and Lu Anhu were walking side by side towards the car and lowered their voices such that only they could hear it. “Chu Yao called that person immediately after school. Her voice was quite soft, but I heard something about going to the Lu Residence…” Lu Anhu felt a little apologetic and said, “The rest wasn’t very clear.”

“This is enough…” Based on this, Lu Anran could guess that there will be an unwelcome guest in the near future!

After getting on the car, the two did not talked anymore and only looked out of the window. Lu Anran caught sight of Long Yuxing and Feng Lixing getting on the neighbouring normal looking car. Seems like she was mistaken, how could Long Yuxing be the masked man from that night….

After the car started, Lu Anran completely dispersed all her thoughts. After all, she still had alot of other troublesome matters that required her attention! Old Zhang drove the car back safely to Lu Residence.
When she entered the house, Lu Anran heard Ji Roy’s laughter and another voice that made Lu Anran stiffened. She did not expect him to appear so quickly and initially thought he will come after a few more days. It was a good thing that Lu Anhu mentioned it previously so she was mentally prepared however, her hands still trembling uncontrollably. It was very difficult to suppress her deep seated fear and resentment for him. The memories of the previous lifetime swirled through her mind like a merry-go-round, and Lu Anran’s lips trembled slightly as she attempted to control herself.

“Anran?” Sensing something was wrong, Lu Anhu reached out and held onto Lu Anran’s hands.

“It’s nothing…”
