Chapter 258: Chapter 257: Shaking People Chapter 258: Chapter 257: Shaking People Qi Yue felt that Qi Wanli was probably desperate, otherwise he wouldn’t have said those things.

Qi Yue, “Her friends don’t have any news of her. So obviously, I wouldn’t have any either. You know she wouldn’t contact me even if she did contact someone.”

Qi Wanli, “…”

After listening to Qi Yue’s words, Qi Wanli was silent for a while. Finally, he seemed to realize he couldn’t refute his daughter’s words and could only sigh before saying, “Alright… If Zhenzhen contacts you, or if you get any news about her, you must tell me right away, alright?”

“Okay, I got it.”

Qi Yue hung up the phone, her brows slightly furrowed.

She hadn’t expected Qi Zhen to be missing for this long.

If she remembered correctly, there was a very important shooting competition in two days.

The scores of this competition would count toward the national league points, serving as an entry ticket to the national league. Failing to attend would mean she wouldn’t have enough points and thus couldn’t participate in this year’s national league.

Knowing Qi Zhen well, she used to run away from home often. Though she might throw a tantrum, she had never missed a match, especially not one as important as this…

After hanging up the phone, Qi Yue returned to her dormitory.

The dormitory was very quiet, completely dark with all the curtains drawn, clearly Song Qiuqiu was still asleep.

Qi Yue tiptoed, turning on just one bedside lamp.

“Hmm, Yue Bao… you’re back…”

After some rustling from the upper bunk, a head dangled down. Song Qiuqiu stretched her voice, looking at Qi Yue through the gaps in her messy hair as she spoke.

If Qi Yue wasn’t already used to this scene, she might have been scared to a heart stop.

At that moment, Song Qiuqiu lay on the edge of the bed, her hair wildly disheveled, sporting black circles under her eyes, her face pallid, resembling a vampire…

Qi Yue, “Did I wake you up?”

Song Qiuqiu yawned, “Nope… I went to bed early yesterday… I’ve had enough sleep now…”

“What kind of messy schedule is this? Better adjust it soon. How can your body endure this in the long run…” Qi Yue murmured helplessly.

Song Qiuqiu glanced at Qi Yue then did so again, her expression turning serious as she asked, “Yue Bao, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“Ah? No, nothing…” Qi Yue froze, then responded instinctively.

Although Song Qiuqiu always seemed carefree, she could always spot Qi Yue’s emotions instantly. Qi Yue hadn’t expected that a slight mood of hers would be picked up by her so quickly.

“Really?” As expected, Song Qiuqiu was still suspicious.

Qi Yue sighed, “Actually, it’s nothing much. It’s just that graduation is approaching and thinking about how soon everyone will go their separate ways makes me a bit melancholic…

Song Qiuqiu scratched her head and climbed up briskly, “Oh! And here I thought it was something serious! Just this? What’s there to be melancholic about! Wait for me to get people moving! Come with me! I guarantee I’ll make you forget all about that melancholy!”

“Ah? What are you planning?” Qi Yue asked with a laugh.

Song Qiuqiu, her head buried, began sending messages. After a flurry of activity, soon her phone started chiming.

A moment later, Song Qiuqiu spoke cheerfully, “Done! Wait for me to wash my hair! Once I’m done, we’ll head out! Yue Bao, you go change your clothes too!”
