V3 CHAPTER 5: NO ROAD BACK (PART 1)

Today, Jiang Muqing was very obedient, and excelled in every way .

Just like Mo Shiyu, she became a fine studying partner, and we both quickly got my studies out of the way through hard work . With time to kill, we thought about places to go in the afternoon .

“Jiang Muqing, where would you like to go? We’re just about done with the schoolwork; why don’t we just have fun for once?”

I wanted to do something to reward her .

“Where does Lu Fan want to go? Wherever Lu Fan goes, I will go . ”

Jiang Muqing didn’t seem very enthusiastic .

Normally, Jiang Muqing would always bother me to be with her, but she didn’t seem so eager today .

“Do you want to go to the movies?”

Maybe a comedy would make her happier .

“Sure . ”

Jiang Muqing smiled lightly .

“But there aren’t really any good movies lately . ”

I scrolled through my phone .

“Should we go to the amusement park?”

I asked .

“Sure . ”

Jiang Muqing agreed .

“But it’s so hot, we might get heat stroke if we stay out for too long . ”

“Then let’s go to that ice cream shop, if it’s so hot . ”

The shoujo suddenly said .

“Ice cream? Then, alright . ”

I didn’t have any complaints .

… .

After coming out of the library, we took a city bus and arrived at the ice cream shop .

Lately, I’ve been coming to this shop every day after cram school ends . We were all getting a little sick of the same menu, why does Jiang Muqing still want to come here?

I didn’t understand .

“Mm?

You’re back again? Where’s the other one?”

The waitress was already familiar with us, and she smiled as she saw me and Jiang Muqing .

“She’s busy today . ” I answered .

“Then what would you two like today?” The waitress asked .

I looked at the menu, which I had already eaten all the way through . While I was agonizing over the choices, Jiang Muqing suddenly perked up after seeming so detached all day .

“Alaskan Frozen Volcano . ” The girl replied without hesitation .

“Then what about you, sir?”

“He’s the same . ” She spoke before I uttered a word .

“… . ”

Her action made me stop for a moment .

… .

I witnessed the intriguing “eruption” for the second time, and felt the lack of surprise . But Jiang Muqing, who had seen this for the first time, seemed oddly disinterested .

From what I’ve seen, Mo Shiyu’s excited expression was more suited to the shoujo complex, and acted cuter for her age .

“Is this it?”

The girl watched the flying sparks, puffing her cheeks ever so slightly . She seemed to be staring off .

“Mm?”

I didn’t understand .

“I’ve also seen the ‘volcano’ . ”

The shoujo lowered her head, and exhaled .

“… . ”

Was it because of what Mo Shiyu said to her yesterday?”

“Mo Shiyu…”

I tentatively prodded .

“Don’t mention her, okay?”

The shoujo shuddered when she heard the name, and shoveled a spoonful of the “volcano” forcefully in her mouth .

“… . ”

The shoujo ate spoon after spoon of ice cream, swallowing mechanically . Yet, I hadn’t touched a single bite . It was clear that she was hiding something .

“Whrr, whrr… .

. ”

My phone vibrated in my pocket .

I immediately stood up, found an empty corner, and picked up the phone .

Was it Mo Shiyu?

I was worried about what really happened to her . It didn’t make sense for her to not come after just telling Jiang Muqing alone . Since we were close, she would’ve at least sent me a text .

The caller ID was Mom’s .

“Mom, what’s up?”

“Mo Shiyu is your classmate, right? Is she with you?”

I heard fear in her voice .

V3 CHAPTER 5: NO ROAD BACK (PART 2)

“No, what’s wrong?”

My heart started to beat faster .

“Oh, her parents called the cram school, and they said that she left with classmates to study . But from yesterday afternoon, she hasn’t come home for a whole night and day . Right now, the teacher is calling all parents in the student roll asking if anyone’s seen her . ”

Mom’s breathing was rapid .

“She did study with us, but I haven’t seen her today . Could anything have happened?”

My head was confused .

“Her family is looking everywhere like maniacs, and any parent would freak out if their child went missing . It’s still not completely safe on the streets, is Qing by your side? Come home early . ”

“Mm, she’s right here . Don’t worry, we’ll be home soon . ”

I tried my best to control my emotions, and promised my mother .

“Jiang Muqing, Mom just called saying that Mo Shiyu went missing . Do you know where Mo Shiyu went yesterday?”

I returned to our booth, and asked Jiang Muqing .

“I don’t know . Lu Fan, I want to go home .

home . ”

The shoujo looked tired .

“Jiang Muqing, answer my question!”

My tone grew serious; she was definitely hiding something .

“Lu Fan, can we go home?”

The girl seemed to be almost pleading .

“… . ”

If Mo Shiyu’s disappearance was really linked to Jiang Muqing, then she could only be at one place, and that was Jiang Muqing’s house . She had hidden her there .

What will happen? I didn’t dare to imagine more, the things Jiang Muqing would do .

First, I have to find Mo Shiyu .

“Yesterday, you went to get some things from your house . Did you get them all? I saw that you didn’t take a lot, how about we go back and get some more?” I tested .

“I-I got everything, there’s n-no need . ”

Jiang Muqing started to stutter, and she didn’t meet my gaze .

“But, I left some of my things in there . ”

I insisted .

It was obvious .

I violently pulled her from her seat, left a wad of cash on the table, and didn’t look back . She kept trying to escape my grasp, and finally did .

“Does it have to come down to this? Lu Fan, can you not care about her?”

Jiang Muqing stopped behind me, and asked coldly .

“Mo Shiyu is there, right?!”

I turned around and shouted .

“Lu Fan, you only need to worry about me, not for her! Please! I’ll do whatever you want!”

Her shoulders shook .

“I only want Mo Shiyu right now!”

I was nearly mad with anger .

I didn’t care if she was coming or not . I had Jiang Muqing’s house key, anyway . Just in case, I had secretly madehad secretly made a copy of her key long ago .

I walked briskly forward, and Jiang Muqing kept her distance behind me .

I boarded the city bus, and she did, too .

Finally, I arrived at her building’s ground floor . I opened the lobby door with my key, and was about to enter . Jiang Muqing ran to me, and hugged my back .

“Please don’t go, let’s go home!”

The shoujo was shrieking, I had never seen her like this before .

“I must see Mo Shiyu today . If I don’t, I won’t just give up like this . ”

I spoke furiously .

It’s all my fault, why did I have to drag Mo Shiyu into this? I should’ve been the only one with this curse, yet I’ve been dragging Jiang Muqing to harm others all along!

I pushed Jiang Muqing back, and rode up to the 21st floor on the elevator . Jiang Muqing had no choice but to follow .

The doors opened, and I made my way immediately to suite 213 .

It had almost been a month before my last nightmarish visit, do I have to live through another one? So unlucky .

I unlocked the door, and pushed it open .

“Lu Fan, this is your last chance . If you keep walking, then there’s no road back . If you take me home, we can still be together .

“There is no road back!”

I shoved her aside .

Next, I saw, on the living room’s sofa…

“Mo… . ”

Before I finished, the girl took out a white handkerchief, and muffled my nose .

What a beautiful smell… .

… .

“Crack!”

I heard my head slam against the floor .
