Chapter 125

When this title was mentioned, Yu Yu's eyes flickered, and she unconsciously touched the jade bracelet on her wrist.

Mu Youyu saw clearly that it was the jade bracelet she had given Yu Yu last year on her birthday.

A slender silver bracelet, engraved with tiny fish-shaped patterns.

The icy cool touch against her skin made Yu Yu finally unable to hold back her tears, which fell patteringly.

The girl hesitated no more, and with a sudden motion she flipped over and jumped down from the railing—

Young Treasure

The four people outside the screen all let out a sigh of relief.

When Gaomawei patted her thumping chest, Yu Yu had already stepped forward, pushed through the crowd, and sprinted wildly toward the side of the hallway.

Yu Mother was still chasing after her, shouting: "Run! If you run, don't acknowledge me as your mother!"

Yu's mother

How did the class president end up with a mother like you?

West City

Wanwan sister, why isn't she answering the phone? If she were here, she might be able to persuade the class president!

And where is Cen sister? She was still at school this morning, so why can't I get through to any of her phones now?

The class president is running so urgently—could something have happened?" the girls chattered, their faces full of worry.

Gaomawei grabbed Yu Mother and pulled her, comforting the girls: "The class president has someone she can't let go of; she wouldn't do something drastic."

Yu Yu didn't look back, clutching the bracelet, she ran with all her strength to the end of the hallway, pressed the elevator button, went downstairs, and burst out of the school gate.

Cen Cen

The figure finally disappeared at the end of the surveillance footage.

After the video ended, the four fell silent for a moment.

Yu Ci's smile had completely vanished, his brows furrowed, and he spoke first: "One month ago we signed up for the competition, but right before registration you went to stay at a stranger's house? There's definitely something wrong."

Gu Xingnan quickly chimed in: "Youbao, I'll first look into your friend's green-haired senior—why did he show up at the hotel entrance late at night?"

Only then did Mu Youyu recall the first surveillance clip, with its striking green-haired cover, but she hadn't opened it; she had only opened the second clip of Yu Yu at school.

Jiang Liangjin sat beside her, his voice low and steady: "Maybe she was driven out."

Mu Youyu, combining the surveillance footage, agreed with his view: "I think so too."

Yu Ci felt Gu Xingnan was right.

He pulled out his phone and shook it: "I've had someone check the art competition in B Shi to see if the rules were changed last-minute or if someone pulled a trick to squeeze out her spot."

Gu Xingnan had already stood up, intending to go to the classroom to get a computer, but hearing this he paused, reached out and grabbed Yu Ci's arm: "……No need to look for someone, I'll do it."

Yu Ci didn't object, letting him pull him toward the door; when they reached the doorway, he turned back to look at the two on the sofa: "A Jin, Youbao, I'm heading out with A Nan first! I'll be back soon!"

Mm.

"Okay." Mu Youyu responded, just about to pull out her phone to contact Liu Wanwan, when the screen lit up.

It was a message from Liu Wanwan, filled with a string of anxious exclamations: "【Baby! Help! Someone contacted me two hours ago, saying Yu Yu's family came to the school to cause trouble; I only just saw that phone message now, I'm frantic! How is Yu Yu doing now?】"

Mu Youyu knew she had several backup phones and several WeChat accounts.

Reply: "【I'll take care of it; let Yu Yu stay with me for a few days. When she returns to school in a few days, you and Cen Cen remember to go back and look after her more.】"

Liu Wanwan: "【Received, received! Has Yu Yu woken up?】"

Mu Youyu: "【Not yet; her low blood sugar is a bit severe.】"

Liu Wanwan's messages kept popping up: "【Then you'd better keep a close eye on her! When Yu Yu wakes up, don't let her be alone; An Cheng has slipped a tire there, I need to go back and check.】"

"【Also, Cen Cen just replied to me, saying she was called by her tutor this morning to go to a neighboring city for project research, and her phone had no signal.】"

Mu Youyu stared at the two words 'slipped tire', her fingertip pausing on the screen before replying: "【Okay, you handle that side; Yu Yu's side has me.】"

An Cheng is Liu Wanwan's stepmother, and also has some connection to the An family here in West City.

But she doesn't want to know about it.

She now thinks only of Yu Yu.

Jiang Liangjin, sitting beside her, noticed her change in expression and softly asked: "What's wrong?"

Mu Youyu put away her phone, shook her head, and said: "Nothing, it's just a message from Wanwan."

"Okay." Jiang Liangjin didn't press further, just quietly watched her.

Mu Youyu sighed, stood up, and asked the school doctor in the lobby: "Hello, I'd like to know when she might wake up."

The school doctor who was preparing medicine for Yu Yu, chatting with another doctor, turned his head at the words: "As early as now, as late as tomorrow!"

Mu Youyu frowned and pressed: "You mean either could happen?"

The school doctor nodded: "Yes, it varies by person; her low blood sugar is a bit serious… it also mainly depends on her own recovery. You don't need to be too anxious—just keep an eye on her. When she wakes, let her drink some warm water and eat something light to replenish her strength."

After Mu Youyu responded, Jiang Liangjin walked over and suggested: "Want to go outside for a walk? Get some fresh air?"

Mu Youyu has disliked the smell of hospital disinfectant since childhood, and is also slightly afraid of needles.

The infirmary's smell isn't as pungent as the hospital's, but it still carries a hint of disinfectant.

He worries that if she stays too long she'll feel unwell, and he feels vexed.

"Forget it, I'll wait here." Mu Youyu, concerned about Yu Yu, didn't want to leave.

Jiang Liangjin didn't urge her further, took out a green lollipop from his pocket, skillfully tore off the wrapper, and held it to Mu Youyu's lips.

Mu Youyu instinctively took the candy; the clean sweetness melted on her tongue, and as she lifted her eyes to Jiang Liangjin, the worry in her gaze was largely eased by the sweetness.

"How come you've been carrying so many lollipops lately?"

And they're all her favorite flavor.

Only then did she recall that, both when they were kids and recently after school started, whenever they went out to play, he always managed to produce one.

"You like it." Jiang Liangjin's reply was brief.

Mu Youyu bit her lollipop, "Alright."

Jiang Liangjin gazed at her profile, voice gentler: "Youbao, don't worry too much."

"Okay."

As the words fell, Gu Xingnan and Yu Ci pushed the door open and entered.

Mu Youyu heard the movement and instantly turned around, seeing the newcomer ask: "Did you find out?"

"Found out."

Gu Xingnan walked to the table, set the laptop down, opened a document, and said: "The Yu family is a scholarly household; generations have pursued academia, with many strict rules. As the only daughter, Yu Yu has had even her clothing controlled by her family since she was young, leaving her no choice."

He paused, moved the mouse, continued: "She has always loved Art School; as a child she was especially talented at drawing, but her family thought studying Art School had no future, insisting she study dance, saying dance cultivates temperament and fits the Yu family's status... I found these on her alternate Weibo account."

Mu Youyu heard this, her fingertips instinctively clenched.

Aside from having the bodyguard look into the Yu family's recent affairs this time, she had never investigated anything about the Yu family before.
