The Missing Zhao Lei

It was nighttime, but there were only two people in the house. Luo Xiyan simply used a spell to bring them back.

Ling Mengxue initially found it quite amazing, but considering that she herself could do it now, she didn't ask any questions about it.

Back in her room, the thought of being alone with Luo Xiyan made her feel a little nervous.

Oh no, now it should be described as an orphanage.

Reaching the bedside, Ling Mengxue remained silent. Although she had only had a little alcohol on her hands, she was completely unaware that she was already drunk.

Luo Xiyan tiptoed behind her, reaching out to remove the violet hair ornament, letting her long, light pink hair fall loose. Yet, her beautiful eyes held a hint of pity as she gazed tenderly at her retreating figure.

She heard Ling Mengxue say that she was now all alone in the house, and that her family members were all very busy, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Living alone... it must be lonely, right?

However, she will indeed be quite busy after the start of the semester. Luo Xiyan may need to host a speech on behalf of the newly recruited magic special class, explaining some knowledge about magic to her juniors. At the same time, she herself is also one of the juniors.

If Su Xiaoxiao wants to continue her dream of Immortal Sound Idols, Luo Xiyan will definitely have to help her. In addition to the usual chores and helping out at the company, she will hardly have any time.

But things are different now. Whenever she has a spare moment, she can use this spatial magic to travel back and forth. She's content as long as she can catch a glimpse of it every day.

"My mother wants to see you..." Luo Xiyan hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.

"Is this so sudden? But how am I supposed to face your mother in my current state..."

"Actually, it doesn't matter. It just depends on whether Xiaoxue is willing or not. It's okay if she's not willing." Luo Xiyan was afraid that Ling Mengxue might misunderstand, so she quickly mediated.

"Since Xi Yan has said so, we should go at least once. I don't want to make Xi Yan... sad..."

Looking at Ling Mengxue's swaying figure, Luo Xiyan's delicate face revealed a faint smile. She herself hadn't even noticed when she had fallen for him...

Coming to her senses... yes, Luo Xiyan realized that Ling Mengxue was already drunk.

But so what?

I like her...

"So... can I take advantage of Xiaoxue being drunk and make advances on her?"

Without further hesitation, Luo Xiyan stepped forward and hugged her from behind.

"Whatever Xi Yan asks of me... I'm willing to accept it. Xiaoxue dreams of you almost every night, and every day I miss you brings her joy and happiness..."

"Waiting with anticipation, welcoming the snowflakes falling into my world, my deep longing and yearning heal all the unspeakable heartache I endure... Waaah~"

"Just to see Xi Yan one more time, everything would be worth it..."

Fueled by alcohol, Ling Mengxue was almost completely out of control. Whether it was a man or a woman, at least for now, she didn't want to hold back and used the alcohol to express the deepest feelings in her heart.

But after speaking her mind, she revealed a hint of girlish shyness, biting her red lips lightly, looking slightly nervous and uneasy. Her mind went blank for a moment, but she didn't forget anything.

It was a feeling that lasted only a moment...

How embarrassing!

How could I possibly say such cheesy pickup lines?

So what if I'm already dead? I'm already dead anyway... why care so much?

Luo Xiyan gently rubbed her head, her clear eyes full of doting affection. It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved, but she never expected that the two of them would feel such similar emotions towards each other.

The luckiest thing in the world is when the person you love also loves you deeply...

Ling Mengxue was unaware that she would be willing to give her life for Luo Xiyan.

She reached out and wiped away her tears, but Luo Xiyan didn't say anything more.

"Did you agree to it yourself?"

"Um..."

Ling Mengxue nodded easily, giving a cautious "hmm," her voice trembling slightly with a hint of a sob, making her appear even more pitiful and charming.

Tonight, another sleepless night...

The next morning

The sunlight was bright but not glaring, and Luo Xiyan woke up as soon as the first rays of sunlight shone in the morning.

The rising sun shone into the bedroom through the blinds, and when Ling Mengxue woke up, she felt weak and listless all over, her snow-white hair was a little messy, and a blush still lingered on her gentle and pretty face.

Just thinking about what happened last night sent a wave of shyness through her.

She wasn't even acting like a man anymore, was she? The main problem was that her body was instinctively reacting this way, and she couldn't control it!

I was definitely drunk last night. Who would have thought that just a little alcohol would lead to such a mess?

I'm so ashamed I can't face anyone!

"Awake?"

Hearing the familiar voice beside her, Ling Mengxue trembled even more. Leaning against the bed, she responded softly without looking at her face.

She's already completely lost face!

Seeing that Ling Mengxue still looked shy, Luo Xiyan didn't mind and simply reached out to stroke her soft hair.

Then I helped her get dressed, sat her down at the desk, combed her hair, and put on her hair accessories...

The atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous. Seeing that there was still some time, Luo Xiyan slowly drew back the curtains, her face beaming with joy!

"I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you when I have time. Take care of yourself."

"Um..."

"Can you walk? These medicines are for you."

"I have many..."

Finally, after everyone left, Ling Mengxue breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's hard to describe how she feels right now; it's a complicated feeling.

Sweet and blissful, so happy! And so shy!

Even after drinking the Healing Potion, she still felt a little uncomfortable, though she actually felt quite comfortable.

Of course, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Comfort accounted for 60%, but the remaining 40% was really painful. Now she could barely walk steadily. She took out the Spatial Prism and looked at herself. All she could see was that she was beautiful. Her little face was too beautiful.

Today is the first official day of class, so I can't be late...

Without much thought, Ling Mengxue casually cast a spell to tidy herself up again, then hurriedly picked up her original dark black schoolbag, went out, locked the door, and strode away!

Of course, she also had to stop by Uncle Wang's breakfast stall to buy some breakfast.

Skipping breakfast is bad for your health. Although it might not affect her personally, life is never complete without a sense of ritual.

"Hello Ling, I... can I add you on WeChat? I've always been a fan of Senior Ling Feng..."

As soon as Ling Mengxue arrived at school, a cute-looking junior in a school uniform ran towards her and immediately asked for her WeChat.

Although I've encountered this situation many times before, she's a woman now, so is she supposed to be involved in a lesbian relationship? But... to be fair, lesbians smell kind of good...

"I'm sorry, classmate. If my brother has caused you any trouble in the past, I apologize on his behalf." Ling Mengxue smiled kindly, her approachability was off the charts, making the junior schoolmate blush a little.

The main problem is that she just arrived, and quite a few other students who had also just arrived for school have already gathered around. And look at the security guard at the gate—he's even pulled out his riot baton! Is he worried about things getting out of control when there are a lot of people? Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?

Ling Mengxue didn't linger. Taking advantage of the few people around, she found a place to have breakfast and then returned to the classroom.

It was only seven o'clock, and there weren't many people in the classroom, but you could already see Liu Yinxuan sitting in her seat reviewing her lessons.

Indeed, there's a reason why Liu Yinxuan is both class monitor and a top student. She's already so outstanding, yet she still works so hard. Looking at ourselves, shouldn't we reflect on ourselves? Aren't we trying not hard enough?

Talent and hard work go hand in hand!

Chapter 50 The Missing Zhao Lei

There weren't many people in the classroom, so when Ling Mengxue walked in, some people already noticed her.

After a moment of panic, they simply sat in their seats and watched silently, whispering among themselves for a few moments before blushing slightly.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Liu Yinxuan lit up with joy, and she greeted him in a very friendly manner.

"Good morning, Sister Meng! Yuxin left with you yesterday. What happened after that?"

"Don't call me 'sister,' I look younger than you, don't I? It feels weird. Just call me by my name."

Ling Mengxue smiled shyly, then answered, "However... she should be fine for now, and as her friend, you should know that only she can overcome psychological problems on her own. Our words of comfort can only play a supporting role at most."

Hearing Ling Mengxue's words, Liu Yinxuan, she actually knew the reasoning behind it...

The main problem is that she had a lot of things to handle as class monitor in the first few days of school, and now with the incidents involving Zhao Lei and Lan Yuxin, her thoughts are a bit chaotic.

You don't look well.

"You've been found out, huh? Zhao Lei went missing yesterday. We called his family but no one answered. We were about to call the police, but then someone said they saw him at a bar not long ago."

"This happened yesterday. When I brought people to find him, he refused to come with me, hanging out with his group of friends, and told me not to meddle... The school is already planning to expel him." Liu Yinxuan a wry smile and patiently explained.

Ling Mengxue listened quietly to Liu Yinxuan's explanation, her face expressionless, but her heart was filled with complex emotions.

She wouldn't bother with this if it were a stranger, but Zhao Lei is her friend, so she has to ask him.

Although it was his freedom, Ling Mengxue couldn't bear to let him continue down this path of depravity; she had to make him give up on her first.

"If that's the case, why not just have him drop out of school?" Ling Mengxue frowned.

"No matter what, as the class monitor, I won't easily give up on any classmate. Zhao Lei might just be having a temporary mental breakdown. I can't just let his life go to waste like this, that would be too derelict of my duty." Liu Yinxuan shook her head with a smile.

Ling Mengxue glanced at her, sighed silently, and didn't press the matter further.

She's just a transfer student right now, but she genuinely admires Liu Yinxuan.

If this had happened in my old class, probably very few people would have bothered to look into it; they would have just treated it as gossip.

But Zhao Lei is really something else, has he really gone to join the underworld?

Ling Mengxue returned to her seat, intending to read for a while before class started.

As for Zhao Lei... she simply sent him a text message using Ling Feng's phone number to inquire about his current situation.

She wasn't sure if he would reply to her message.

As she put her hand into the drawer, she was slightly surprised. After a moment's thought, she fell silent again.

But she was used to it and wasn't angry. She reached out and moved the drawer full of love letters to the table.

This is somewhat similar to being a fan of a celebrity, which Ling Mengxue can understand. A normal person would be happy to receive a love letter, but she really can't be happy about something like this.

She has no vanity, pursues a simple life, and has a cool and aloof personality. Occasionally, she might unintentionally act a little silly, but she tries her best to control it.

Just then, Tang Ling walked in through the back door and saw Ling Mengxue dealing with her love letters, and couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

He stepped forward and placed his hand on her back, startling her.

"Mengxue, you don't think that's all, do you?"

"Tang... Tang Ling, do you have to be so scary? At least make some noise when you walk, you scared me like a ghost."

"Hey~ don't worry about the details, you'll see later."

"What? Is there a problem?"

Ling Mengxue turned her head with some confusion, and behind the classroom, apart from trash cans and some cleaning supplies, there were only a few bulging woven bags, nothing special.

Tang Ling ignored her doubts and continued, "Hey, hey, these are all the love letters you received yesterday, Miss Meng. Look, there are several woven bags filled with them. Those are yours, and one is your brother's. Aren't you happy?"

"..."

At this point, Tang Ling pointed to her own spot, "And your brother's old spot, the drawer is crammed full too, all farewell letters. Do you want to take a look?"

Ling Mengxue felt a little awkward after hearing this. She looked up at Tang Ling, gave a wry smile, and said, "Thank you, Tang Ling, for answering my question. Should I treat you to a meal?"

"Oh, this... I can't possibly accept this! If you insist on treating me, I'll just have to reluctantly agree, hehe~"

Tang Ling laughed brightly, then realized the atmosphere was a bit awkward. She scratched the back of her head sheepishly, then turned and ran away. "Sorry, sorry, I was just joking! Why are you just like your brother? You need to change this bad temper!"

"..."
