Chapter 524 - 525: Carrying a Time Bomb
Lou Xi held onto the apology gift given to her by Jin Xunyang, feeling like she was carrying a ticking time bomb.
After leaving the café, Lou Xi prepared to call Qin Mobai to tell him about the meeting just now.
But as soon as she took out her phone, Bai Lu’s call came through.
Lou Xi answered Bai Lu’s call.
Before she could speak, the other side started crying.
Having known Bai Lu for three years, she knew this girl wouldn’t cry unless the sky fell.
And she cried so sorrowfully.
"Bai Lu, what’s wrong? Don’t cry, tell me where you are, I’ll come find you now!" Lou Xi said while hailing a taxi.
"I’m at People’s Square... at that... place where the pigeons are..."
"Alright, I’m coming right away, don’t cry..." Lou Xi hadn’t finished speaking before Bai Lu hung up the phone.
Lou Xi could only ask the driver to drive quickly to People’s Square!
When the car stopped outside the square, Lou Xi paid and ran over to see Bai Lu squatting amidst a flock of pigeons, maybe there was a bird market nearby, as they gathered around her.
How could this girl be crying among a flock of pigeons!
As Lou Xi walked over, the pigeons flew away, saving Lou Xi the trouble of shooing them away.
She squatted down and patted Bai Lu’s shoulder, "Lu Lu, why are you crying here? Who bullied you, I’ll avenge you!"
Good friends are the ones who can rush over without asking for a reason after receiving a phone call; they are indispensable parts of each other’s lives.
Upon hearing Lou Xi’s voice, Bai Lu lifted her face from her knees.
Lou Xi saw Bai Lu’s eyes were red from crying! Her whole face was shattered with sadness!
Could anyone hurt Bai Lu this much?
"Xixi... Lu Li and I... broke up."
"What?" Lou Xi asked in disbelief. Weren’t things fine just a few days ago? They even attended Old Mrs. Lu’s birthday banquet together, how could they just break up? "Why?"
Bai Lu didn’t say, she just cried.
In an instant, Lou Xi’s mind raced with thoughts, such as Lu Li losing the freshness after pursuing the goddess Bai Lu, so he didn’t want to be with her anymore, hence broke up.
Or perhaps Lu Li couldn’t withstand the pressure from his family and decided to break up with Bai Lu...
Regardless, to make Bai Lu cry so heartbreakingly, it had to be Lu Li’s fault!
"I’ll go find him, whether he’s Qin Mobai’s friend or the emperor, he can’t bully you like this!" Lou Xi was fuming, just wanting to ask Lu Li clearly. Bai Lu is such a good girl that he dares to let her down.
"No... it’s not his fault..."
"You still defend him at this point! Tell me what happened exactly, and I’ll help you solve it!"
Bai Lu sobbed.
Lou Xi felt incredibly sorry for her, pulled out tissues to wipe away her tears.
"But Lu Lu, can we cry somewhere else? There are pigeons all over here..." The pigeons that had flown away returned.
"I’d love to fly to Paris Square to cry, but I can’t afford a plane ticket, nor can I cry while cutting lipstick to vent." So she could only buy a five-yuan bag of bird food at People’s Square, letting the flock of pigeons accompany her.
Bai Lu cried, yet teased Lou Xi into laughter.
Lou Xi didn’t know if Bai Lu was truly sad, or pretending to cry.
But she felt sorry for Bai Lu and hugged her immediately.
"Silly girl, even if you broke up with Lu Li, you’ll meet someone better."
No, Lu Li was the best.
