I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

Chapter 75: She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she seemed to be followed. (2)

The school day was over.

Gu Xi adapted to the few classes quite well. She felt that she had returned to her state back in Liming.

When school was over, Gu Xi put away her textbooks one by one, slugged her backpack over her shoulder and was about to take off.

She had only gotten two steps in when she was stopped by Dong Mingming, her deskmate.

Gu Xiao Xi, why are you going to fast? Wait for me.

Dong Mingming held onto Gu Xi with one hand and picked up her speed at putting her textbooks and stationaries into her backpack.

She also put on a sad look at the same time and grumbled, Tell me you didnt try to leave behind your dearly beloved deskmate and just take off without her.

Owing to Dong Mingmings super friendly personality, the two had only been deskmates for one day and the two already felt very familiar with each other.

Gu Xi was dazed all of a sudden from Dong Mingmings words.

No... Gu Xi paused before she carried on. I was just thinking about a problem.

What problem? The last math one that we just did? Why? Any way Ive tried to solve it, the answer is still 0.

Mmm. Gu Xi mumbled.

She was just used to it.

Back at Liming, owing to those rumors, less and less people wanted to talk to her over time and nobody wanted to walk with her either.

As such, Gu Xi was already used to packing up quickly and leaving by herself as soon as the class was over.

On the other hand, Dong Mingming was done packing.

Alright, lets go, said Dong Mingming as she held onto Gu Xi.

The two walked outside of the school together.

When they reached the front of the school, Dong Mingming spotted the car that came for her from a far and said goodbye to Gu Xi.

My car is here. I am going now. See you tomorrow.

Gu Xi, too, waved at her.

***

After she had parted with Dong Mingming, Gu Xi continued to walk toward the parking area on the east side of the school.

Aunty Mei had told her this morning when she was on her way out that there would be a car picking her up from school afterward. She even texted the license plate number to her cellphone. Gu Xi looked around but had yet to locate it.

***

She took a few more steps and stopped suddenly.

She couldnt be sure whether she was imagining it, but she felt that she was being followed.

Gu Xi and Dong Mingming walked out earlier than the others and there werent a lot of people on this road.

If she was merely being followed, she could at least make some detours. But if they were trying to kidnap her, should she start running?

All kind of crazy thoughts in Gu Xis mind had successfully made her nervous.

Gu Xi slowed down and pretended to look around casually. Then, after taking a few steps forward quickly, she stopped and whipped around abruptly.

Odd

There were a few other students walking behind her but nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary.

The shadows of two people squatting down in awkward positions next to the wall not too far away had, nevertheless, caught Gu Xis attention.

The wo had on the same uniform as Gu Xis so they were obviously also students of HSAU.

Are couples that open now? Or that HSAU didnt care about their students being in relationships in a young age?

Gu Xi mumbled to herself.

From her angle, even though the two by the wall were squeezed together next to each other in an awkward position, they did look like a couple being affectionate with each other.

Soon, Gu Xi noticed that something else was off.

Those two students looked to be two boys?

I hope they were not in a fight.

Thought Gu Xi to herself.

Then again, that didnt seem to have much to do with her one way or another. As such, Gu Xi shook her head, looked away from them, and continued to walk over to the parking area as she occasionally looking at the license plates that drove past her.
