Chapter 290: Has He Come?
Suddenly, a glimpse of pure white fell into the depths of his deep, somber eyes.The girl was wearing a pure white long dress, paired with a matching small jacket. Her jet-black hair cascaded down, and her entire being looked as light and beautiful as an angel.
At this moment, Gu Qianxi’s expression hardened, his eyes grew darker. It was as if, in that instant, he realized that the little one had grown up—like an adult now.
Just before this, he had always thought of her as a child. But now, seeing her again, seeing her from afar chatting and laughing with two female classmates, her brows and eyes lively... that figure, no longer belonging to a child, made Gu Qianxi’s gaze turn unbearably dark.
He saw Tong Keke wave goodbye to the two girls and start walking toward the dormitory.
The wind lifted her hemline, her entire being radiating youth and beauty, crystal-clear as if made of glass. How could anyone bear to harm her?
Gu Qianxi slammed his fist hard against the wall beside him, as if only pain could expel the uncontrollable dark thoughts surging through his mind.
The past two days, he had felt like he was sick. Ever since Tong Keke confessed her feelings for him, ever since her lips touched his, Gu Qianxi hadn’t been able to find his former self. His head was foggy and heavy.
He watched her walk closer and closer...
His breathing grew heavier, his throat dry...
Then suddenly, a figure blocked the pure white image—it was a boy, taller than her by half a head.
Tong Keke lifted her face to look at him. The two of them seemed to be saying something, with Tong Keke appearing slightly impatient.
The person blocking Tong Keke’s path was none other than the school’s star student—Gong Ze!
Tong Keke was planning to head back to the dormitory, but someone stopped her on the way. She raised her head slightly, displeased, to look at the handsome boy in front of her.
"What do you want now?" Tong Keke frowned and glared at him, annoyed.
"Why didn’t you come to the basketball game at noon?" Gong Ze raised his brows, clearly displeased.
"I wasn’t feeling well!" Tong Keke said truthfully. She had been running a low fever since morning, and even now her head still felt foggy.
Gong Ze’s handsome face briefly showed a trace of concern, and his tone softened noticeably: "Where are you feeling unwell? Did you see a doctor?"
Tong Keke turned her face to the side: "I took some medicine, thanks for your concern."
Gong Ze looked at the girl with her indifferent expression and suddenly felt a surge of irritation.
"I heard you moved out of the Gu Family house." At this school, Gong Ze could know anything he wanted to know.
At the mention of the Gu Family, a trace of sadness surfaced between Tong Keke’s delicate brows. She nodded slightly afterward.
"Why? Did your uncle stop wanting you?" Gong Ze asked with a faintly mocking smile.
That sentence was like a sharp knife, stabbing deeply into Tong Keke’s already wounded heart.
She didn’t want to deal with Gong Ze anymore and quickly brushed past him, running toward the dormitory.
Behind her, Gong Ze called out: "Tong Keke..."
Tong Keke ran faster, her eyes already rimmed red.
When she finally ran all the way back to her dormitory, she grabbed her key to open the door, only to find that with a push, the door opened.
Her heart skipped a beat in panic. Could it be a thief in the dorm?
But the school’s security was extremely tight; it was unlikely for something like a thief to happen.
If not a thief, then could it be...
Tong Keke’s heart started to race wildly. Through the wall separating her from the room, she seemed to glimpse the person who had haunted her days and nights.
