Chapter 826: Chapter 826: Frantic Luo Ziling Chapter 826: Chapter 826: Frantic Luo Ziling Luo Ziling left a message for Ouyang Huihui when he left the hotel, saying that he had treated so many people today, and by the time he treated her, he was exhausted and fell asleep without realizing it.
He had no idea what occurred after he fell asleep, and if there were any abruptness, he asked for Ouyang Huihuiâs forgiveness.
After leaving the hotel where Ouyang Huihui stayed, Luo Ziling went straight back to school.
At this time, the school was completely silent, not a soul in sight, and the apartment buildings were eerily quiet.
Luo Ziling returned to his dorm room âwithout incident,â and managed to fall asleep without waking anyone.
When he woke up, Luo Ziling was surprised to find that it was already seven oâclock.
He quickly got out of bed, washed up, packed his things, pulled his suitcase out the door, and prepared to meet Yang Qingyin.
Before going to bed back at the dorm, he sent Yang Qingyin a message, and upon waking in the morning, he saw a message from Yang Qingyin that she had sent around six oâclock, telling him to meet directly at the station, as she would be there on time and would come find him so they could meet at the station.
In her message, Yang Qingyin also complained that Luo Ziling had not come to stay with her last night, so she was quite angry.
âIâve turned off my phone, donât call or message me. I hope you can find me by instinct. If you canât, then I wonât wait for you and wonât go on the trip with you.â After reading this message, Luo Ziling breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was just Yang Qingyin being petulant.
When he tried calling Yang Qingyin, indeed her phone was off. Luo Ziling shook his head in wry amusement; when women get moody, thereâs really no reasoning with them.
However, he didnât take it too seriously, since the train schedule was set, and all he had to do was wait at the designated area, calls or no calls.
Finding by instinct shows how in sync they were.
So he called a taxi and headed straight to Yanjing South Station.
The journey from the school to the high-speed train station was long, and it was already seven-thirty when Luo Ziling caught a taxi at the school gate; by the time he reached the high-speed train station, it was already nine oâclock.
Luo Ziling was not familiar with the layout of the train station and ended up taking several wrong turns after getting out of the taxi.
With the high-speed train departing at ten oâclock, there wasnât much time left, so Luo Ziling, pulling his luggage, hurried to the waiting area.
Yanjing South Station was very large, and Luo Ziling expended much effort and asked several staff members before he found the waiting area.
By the time he dragged his luggage to the waiting area, they had already started checking tickets.
Poor Luo Ziling searched long and hard in the crowd but couldnât find Yang Qingyin.
He immediately took out his phone, sent Yang Qingyin a message, and then tried calling her.
But during the call, he heard the alarming reminder, âThe subscriber youâve dialed is temporarily unreachable.â
Upon redialing, he received the same notification, and Luo Ziling began to feel truly anxious.
After a momentâs thought, he called Ye Xiaoli, but to his dismay, he received the same mechanical tone again, which made him feel a chill in his limbs.
He could not believe that because of last nightâs incident and not meeting Yang Qingyin, the trip they had planned for so long could turn out like this.
Luo Ziling still believed that Yang Qingyin must have waited for him at the station for too long and had gone in angrily by herself.
With time pressing, he couldnât afford to think too much. He immediately checked his ticket and entered the station, prepared to meet Yang Qingyin on the train.
The departure time was imminent, and fearing that Yang Qingyin might be waiting for him on the train, Luo Ziling boarded soon after passing the ticket check with his ID card.
With the booking information in his phone, including car number and seat number, Luo Ziling found his seat without mistake.
For this trip, Luo Ziling had booked tickets only for Yang Qingyin and himself, as per Yang Qingyinâs instruction. Ye Xiaoli would book her own ticket.
Luo Ziling hadnât planned on bringing Yang Xiaodong along; having Ye Xiaoli as a burden was enough, and there was no need for another, which would definitely make their outing uncomfortable. Keeping Ye Xiaoli at a distance to avoid interrupting their intimacy was a mutual decision between Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin.
When Luo Ziling sprinted to the carriage, he did not see Yang Qingyin sitting there, which made him even more anxious.
He took out his phone once more and called Yang Qingyin, but he still heard the mechanical voice saying, âThe number you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment.â
He then called Ye Xiaoli, but the response was the same.
In a near frenzy, Luo Ziling called Yang Qingye.
Yang Qingye answered the call immediately.
âBrother-in-law, why are you calling me now? Iâm in class!â Yang Qingye whispered in a low voice, âIs there something important?â
âI had plans with your sister, we have to go somewhere together, but I canât get through to her phone. Can you try and see if her phone is reachable?â
âOkay,â Yang Qingye agreed.
Shortly after, Yang Qingye messaged back, âBrother-in-law, I canât reach her either; it seems like her phone is turned off. What happened?â
Holding his phone and still standing in the aisle without having sat down, Luo Ziling was shocked to receive the message from Yang Qingye. The high-speed train had already started and was gradually picking up speed.
At that moment, the seat next to him was still empty. Yang Qingyin, who was supposed to be there, hadnât appeared.
Luo Ziling almost collapsed, he sent another message to Yang Qingyin but did not receive a reply. He sent another message, but didnât even get a success notification; it seemed like Yang Qingyinâs phone was either turned off or in airplane mode.
âWhatâs going on? What in the world is happening?â Luo Ziling felt a desperate urge to cry.
âSir, do you need help?â The beautiful attendant approached Luo Ziling, after finishing her routine announcements, and asked concernedly, âAre you having some trouble?â
Since he had to go through security, today Luo Ziling had not disguised himself and appeared as he truly was.
The tall, handsome man had already caught the attention of many female passengers and the beautiful attendant took the chance to approach him.
âNothing, thank you!â Luo Ziling still managed to thank her politely.
But he immediately asked the beautiful attendant, âMiss, what is the next stop and when will we arrive?â
ââ-
Still at Yanjing South Station, in a nearby utility room, two women stood by the window, blankly watching everything that was happening outside.
Of the two women, one was very beautiful while the other had plain looks.
They had seen Luo Ziling rushing towards the carriage with his luggage, but the beautiful woman showed no reaction.
âMiss, shouldnât you ask him in person?â the less attractive woman quietly said to the beautiful one, âI think itâs very strange, it shouldnât be like this.â
âThereâs nothing to ask,â the beautiful woman replied indifferently, âI donât want to be humiliated again.â
She had her pride and preferred to stay away rather than face further humiliation.
âBut Miss, you still care about him, otherwise you wouldnât have come to the train station.â
The beautiful woman abruptly interrupted her companion, âAlright, Xiaoli, weâll take the next train to Lucheng and visit Baotu Spring.â
