V3 CHAPTER 5: NO ROAD BACK (PART 1)
Today, Jiang Muqing was very obedient, and excelled in every way .
Just like Mo Shiyu, she became a fine studying partner, and we both quickly got my studies out of the way through hard work . With time to kill, we thought about places to go in the afternoon .
“Jiang Muqing, where would you like to go? We’re just about done with the schoolwork; why don’t we just have fun for once?”
I wanted to do something to reward her .
“Where does Lu Fan want to go? Wherever Lu Fan goes, I will go . ”
Jiang Muqing didn’t seem very enthusiastic .
Normally, Jiang Muqing would always bother me to be with her, but she didn’t seem so eager today .
“Do you want to go to the movies?”
Maybe a comedy would make her happier .
“Sure . ”
Jiang Muqing smiled lightly .
“But there aren’t really any good movies lately . ”
I scrolled through my phone .
“Should we go to the amusement park?”
I asked .
“Sure . ”
Jiang Muqing agreed .
“But it’s so hot, we might get heat stroke if we stay out for too long . ”
“Then let’s go to that ice cream shop, if it’s so hot . ”
The shoujo suddenly said .
“Ice cream? Then, alright . ”
I didn’t have any complaints .
… .
After coming out of the library, we took a city bus and arrived at the ice cream shop .
Lately, I’ve been coming to this shop every day after cram school ends . We were all getting a little sick of the same menu, why does Jiang Muqing still want to come here?
I didn’t understand .
“Mm?
You’re back again? Where’s the other one?”
The waitress was already familiar with us, and she smiled as she saw me and Jiang Muqing .
“She’s busy today . ” I answered .
“Then what would you two like today?” The waitress asked .
I looked at the menu, which I had already eaten all the way through . While I was agonizing over the choices, Jiang Muqing suddenly perked up after seeming so detached all day .
“Alaskan Frozen Volcano . ” The girl replied without hesitation .
“Then what about you, sir?”
“He’s the same . ” She spoke before I uttered a word .
“… . ”
Her action made me stop for a moment .
… .
I witnessed the intriguing “eruption” for the second time, and felt the lack of surprise . But Jiang Muqing, who had seen this for the first time, seemed oddly disinterested .
From what I’ve seen, Mo Shiyu’s excited expression was more suited to the shoujo complex, and acted cuter for her age .
“Is this it?”
The girl watched the flying sparks, puffing her cheeks ever so slightly . She seemed to be staring off .
“Mm?”
I didn’t understand .
“I’ve also seen the ‘volcano’ . ”
The shoujo lowered her head, and exhaled .
“… . ”
Was it because of what Mo Shiyu said to her yesterday?”
“Mo Shiyu…”
I tentatively prodded .
“Don’t mention her, okay?”
The shoujo shuddered when she heard the name, and shoveled a spoonful of the “volcano” forcefully in her mouth .
“… . ”
The shoujo ate spoon after spoon of ice cream, swallowing mechanically . Yet, I hadn’t touched a single bite . It was clear that she was hiding something .
“Whrr, whrr… .
. ”
My phone vibrated in my pocket .
I immediately stood up, found an empty corner, and picked up the phone .
Was it Mo Shiyu?
I was worried about what really happened to her . It didn’t make sense for her to not come after just telling Jiang Muqing alone . Since we were close, she would’ve at least sent me a text .
The caller ID was Mom’s .
“Mom, what’s up?”
“Mo Shiyu is your classmate, right? Is she with you?”
I heard fear in her voice .
V3 CHAPTER 5: NO ROAD BACK (PART 2)
“No, what’s wrong?”
My heart started to beat faster .
“Oh, her parents called the cram school, and they said that she left with classmates to study . But from yesterday afternoon, she hasn’t come home for a whole night and day . Right now, the teacher is calling all parents in the student roll asking if anyone’s seen her . ”
Mom’s breathing was rapid .
“She did study with us, but I haven’t seen her today . Could anything have happened?”
My head was confused .
“Her family is looking everywhere like maniacs, and any parent would freak out if their child went missing . It’s still not completely safe on the streets, is Qing by your side? Come home early . ”
“Mm, she’s right here . Don’t worry, we’ll be home soon . ”
I tried my best to control my emotions, and promised my mother .
“Jiang Muqing, Mom just called saying that Mo Shiyu went missing . Do you know where Mo Shiyu went yesterday?”
I returned to our booth, and asked Jiang Muqing .
“I don’t know . Lu Fan, I want to go home .
home . ”
The shoujo looked tired .
“Jiang Muqing, answer my question!”
My tone grew serious; she was definitely hiding something .
“Lu Fan, can we go home?”
The girl seemed to be almost pleading .
“… . ”
If Mo Shiyu’s disappearance was really linked to Jiang Muqing, then she could only be at one place, and that was Jiang Muqing’s house . She had hidden her there .
What will happen? I didn’t dare to imagine more, the things Jiang Muqing would do .
First, I have to find Mo Shiyu .
“Yesterday, you went to get some things from your house . Did you get them all? I saw that you didn’t take a lot, how about we go back and get some more?” I tested .
“I-I got everything, there’s n-no need . ”
Jiang Muqing started to stutter, and she didn’t meet my gaze .
“But, I left some of my things in there . ”
I insisted .
It was obvious .
I violently pulled her from her seat, left a wad of cash on the table, and didn’t look back . She kept trying to escape my grasp, and finally did .
“Does it have to come down to this? Lu Fan, can you not care about her?”
Jiang Muqing stopped behind me, and asked coldly .
“Mo Shiyu is there, right?!”
I turned around and shouted .
“Lu Fan, you only need to worry about me, not for her! Please! I’ll do whatever you want!”
Her shoulders shook .
“I only want Mo Shiyu right now!”
I was nearly mad with anger .
I didn’t care if she was coming or not . I had Jiang Muqing’s house key, anyway . Just in case, I had secretly madehad secretly made a copy of her key long ago .
I walked briskly forward, and Jiang Muqing kept her distance behind me .
I boarded the city bus, and she did, too .
Finally, I arrived at her building’s ground floor . I opened the lobby door with my key, and was about to enter . Jiang Muqing ran to me, and hugged my back .
“Please don’t go, let’s go home!”
The shoujo was shrieking, I had never seen her like this before .
“I must see Mo Shiyu today . If I don’t, I won’t just give up like this . ”
I spoke furiously .
It’s all my fault, why did I have to drag Mo Shiyu into this? I should’ve been the only one with this curse, yet I’ve been dragging Jiang Muqing to harm others all along!
I pushed Jiang Muqing back, and rode up to the 21st floor on the elevator . Jiang Muqing had no choice but to follow .
The doors opened, and I made my way immediately to suite 213 .
It had almost been a month before my last nightmarish visit, do I have to live through another one? So unlucky .
I unlocked the door, and pushed it open .
“Lu Fan, this is your last chance . If you keep walking, then there’s no road back . If you take me home, we can still be together .
“There is no road back!”
I shoved her aside .
Next, I saw, on the living room’s sofa…
“Mo… . ”
Before I finished, the girl took out a white handkerchief, and muffled my nose .
What a beautiful smell… .
… .
“Crack!”
I heard my head slam against the floor .
