39. Chapter 39: Expectation 2

The next day, the third day, Shangguan Yun didn't come; a whole week went by, and I still didn't see his shadow, leaving the room empty and vacant for an entire week.

During that week, Shangguan Yun never called me, nor did he send me a single message.

I don't know if he's recovered from his illness; suddenly I started worrying about him.

I returned home, lay on the bed, picked up my phone intending to call him, but I hesitated, agonized for a long time, and still dialed his number; as I was dialing, my heartbeat suddenly quickened……

But the call wouldn't go through; his phone was off.

"Xuanxuan, it's time to eat, what are you zoning out for?" I didn't even notice when my little brother had already stood before me.

"Oh, I got it, I'm going out." So I threw down the phone and went out to eat with my little brother.

After finishing the meal, I returned to my room, picked up my phone again to call Shangguan Yun, but it was still off.

At that moment, my little brother leisurely walked into my room, sat at the computer, played games while chatting with me off and on, and suddenly brought up Shangguan Yun again.

I lay on the bed, fiddling with my phone, weakly saying: "I don't know; I haven't gone to school for a week, I heard he might be sick."

"Then why didn't you just call to check on him?" my little brother said without even looking up—talking while standing, he feels no back pain—how come I didn't call?

"I called, but his phone was off."

"Then go find him, after all he gave you his home address." Liu Xi's words reminded me, and I really felt the urge to go to his house to find him—maybe I'm just being foolish.

I lay quietly on the bed, agonizing in my heart for a long time, finally made a decision: I'll go to his place to see, not knowing how serious his illness is.

So I stood up, grabbed Liu Xi's clothes, and said: "Will you come with me to find him?"

"Sure." I didn't expect Liu Xi to agree so readily; maybe he just wants to meet this notable figure.

So we said, let's do it; I changed clothes and followed my little brother out of the room, and Lao Ma happened to be in the living room.

"Where are you guys going?" Lao Ma asked while busy with her chores.

"We're going to the supermarket to buy some stuff, Mom, do you want me to bring anything back for you?" I hastily made up an excuse.

"No need, go and come back quickly."

Just like that, I managed to get past with Liu Xi, went out the door, and I felt a bit timid again.
