Chapter 360
The water in the fountain pool was not deep . The water level was at the knee of the young kid . He squatted down and his whole body was soaked in the water . He looked for his jade pendant by trying to feel it in the water, splashing water in all directions .
The young kid looked very urgent . His red eyes were no longer blank and empty but anxious and flustered . His small hands were immersed in the pool as he looked for the jade pendant, afraid that he would never find the jade pendant again .
“Nuo Nuo…” He shouted Xu Nuo’s name over and over again and became more anxious . Slowly, his face reflected extreme despair and ferocity .
The water of the fountain shot out and landed in the pool and on the young kid’s hair . His hair was wet and stuck on his pinkish face . He was in an embarrassing state . His white shirt was stuck tightly to his lean body, which made him look extremely pitiful .
Ye Wei, Bai Ye, and Chu Li didn’t stop him . They just watched the young kid look for the jade pendant in the pool anxiously . Everyone’s expression didn’t look good .
While covering her face, Xu Xing wanted to cry bitterly . She was filled with anger and hatred for the young kid . The voice that called her presumptuous was like the devil’s voice, scary and cold . She hated him but was afraid of him at the same time .
She saw him rush toward the fountain pool crazily, panicked, looking for the jade pendant while water was still shooting out of the fountain . His face was blurred as if there was a layer of mist covering him . It was unreal . However, his crazy actions and his sadness was clearly seen and heard .
‘Nuo Nuo… Is she the owner of the jade pendant?’
Xu Xing immediately regretted her actions . She shouldn’t have thrown his things so willfully in a fit of rage . She knew that the jade pendant was very important to him when he rushed over and tried to snatch it away from her . She shouldn’t have thrown it away when she lost her temper .
Xu Xing bit her teeth and walked over . She felt sorry for him . Such a crazy look didn’t seem to fit his face .
“Hello, Stone…”
“Shut up!” As soon as she made a sound, the young kid turned around and slapped the water in the pool . The water splashed in all directions . His eyes were filled with anger and ferocity . Water dripped down his hair drop by drop . He said, “Don’t call me Stone . ”
That was the patent of Nuo Nuo . Only Nuo Nuo could call him that . Others were not allowed to .
Xu Xing was shouted at by him again . She gritted her teeth but didn’t say anything . She would not have been able to tolerate Ning Ning and would probably run away given her proud and arrogant personality . However, this time, she was not angry . “I won’t call you that anymore . What’s the big deal? Your aunt asked me to address you as ‘Stone’ that day . Do you think I like that?”
The young kid ignored her and continued to search for the jade pendant . The jade pendant was just right beside his hand but he had missed it unknowingly . Xu Xing felt sorry for him .
“Hey, the jade pendant is on your right . ” As soon as Xu Xing finished speaking, Ning Ning’s hand swept the jade pendant away . He had accidentally swept it farther away and his heart ached…
‘Nuo Nuo…’
‘I have to find it . I must find it . ’ Ning Ning was determined . At the same time, he hated himself . If only he could see . If only he could see…
The fountain pool was big and he had swept the jade pendant farther away . Ning Ning was anxious and worried . He had lost his mind again . He had never had such a desire and hoped that he could regain his eyesight so that he could find the jade pendant that Nuo Nuo gave him .
“A token of love…” That was what Xu Nuo said .
He had already lost Nuo Nuo . He couldn’t lose the jade pendant that she gave him too . He just couldn’t…
His heart was tearing apart and his cries were stuck in his throat . He could hardly breathe .
‘I can’t…’
Tears fell . Ning Ning’s heart felt bitter and sour . He became even more desperate to find it . Xu Xing couldn’t bear to see him like that and lifted up her skirt . “I’ll help you pick it up . Don’t be like this . ”
“Go away . ” Ning Ning shouted . Xu Xing was about to enter the pool when he shouted at her . She stared at him angrily but her anger ceased when she saw the tears on his face . She then pouted her lips and stood at the side .
Drops of water dripped down from his hair and fell into his eyes and mouth . Ning Ning squatted down and continued to search for it frantically . The desire in his heart had turned deeper and it had never been so strong .
Suddenly, his eyes ached . Ning Ning closed them subconsciously and opened them again . There was a flash of white light in his blurry sight . Ning Ning closed his eyes again and squatted down in the pool without moving . The water level was at his chest level and he soaked in the water with a pale face .
Ye Wei, Bai Ye, and Chu Li hurried over . Xu Xing asked anxiously, “Hey, what’s the matter with you?”
Ning Ning rubbed his eyes, wiped the water on his face, and opened them again . His eyesight was blurred at first, but after blinking his eyes several times, he could finally see clearly . His eyes were not red anymore and turned as black as black jade, which was surprisingly bright .
Bai Ye was elated . The handsome and nonchalant man showed a relieved smile . ‘His eyes are finally healed . ’
Ning Ning turned his head and soon saw the jade pendant lying quietly in the pool . His heart ached . Even in the water, people could see his shaking hands picking up the jade pendant .
Things are still the same, but the people are not . This feeling was like plucking out a piece of meat from his heart . He clearly felt that some things were withering and dying in his world together with the death of Xu Nuo .
It was a blurred concept . When he grew up, he realized that that kind of feeling was an extreme disappointment .
From then on, the jade pendant was the only thing that could accompany him . No one would ever call him ‘Stone’ again . No one would sacrifice so much for him ever again . He had lost his gem .
Ning Ning held onto the jade pendant . The more he thought about it, the more painful he was . He was so agitated that he fainted in the pool . Everyone was shocked . Chu Li quickly picked him up and carried him into the room .
Bai Ye then followed them . Ye Wei praised Xu Xing . “You have done something great . ”
Xu Xing didn’t understand what Ye Wei was talking about . Ye Wei didn’t need her to understand either . She laughed . “We’re done . You have done your part . I’ll ask someone to send you home tomorrow . ”
Xu Xing looked anxiously in the direction Chu Li and Bai Ye had left . “Is he going to be okay?”
“Yes,” Ye Wei said with a smile . Ning Ning had to solve his problems himself . If his eyes could heal, everything would be alright . There was no need to worry anymore .
Ning Ning regained consciousness very quickly in less than an hour . Bai Ye examined his eyes carefully . Everything was good and his eyesight was back to normal . The young kid kept quiet for a while and then looked at them . He smiled and said, “I’m sorry for making you worry . ”
“What are you saying, silly child? Do you feel any discomfort?” Bai Ye asked . Ning Ning shook his head . Everybody’s heart ached . The young kid seemed to be different as compared to the past .
Although he was smiling, it seemed that he was covered with a layer of cold void that no one could enter .
“I’m okay . ” The young kid smiled, sat up straight and touched his chest . Ye Wei gave him the jade pendant hurriedly . Ning Ning took it from her calmly and put it near his heart .
The more peaceful he was, the more hesitant Bai Ye was . “Ning Ning, are you really okay?”
Ning Ning smiled gracefully, just like the lovely, tender, and polite young kid from the past . He looked lovely, but everyone felt that he was different .
“Auntie, have you heard the news about my parents yet?” Ning Ning asked with a calm face . Because he was too calm, everybody felt uneasy .
“No news yet,” Ye Wei said honestly . “Don’t worry . I will inform you as soon as there is news from the Dragon Gate . ”
The young kid smiled . “Jason, when would Black J arrive?”
Chu Li looked at his watch . “In about two hours’ time . What do you want to do?”
The young kid’s expression was dangerously calm, which was scary . It was a ferocious expression that he wouldn’t have in the past . Coldness and murderous vibes were integrated into his calm appearance . “Chu Li, since I am a member of the terrorist organization, I can exercise my power to command, right?”
Chu Li and Bai Ye looked at each other and smiled . Bai Ye said, “Of course, do as you please . ”
“Very well . ” The young kid smiled gracefully . It was as though there was a fierce ghost living in his dark eyes . He tilted his head . Under the sunlight, he looked calm but ferocious . All his emotions were hidden under his elegant appearance .
‘Louis, I’ll let you have a taste of how it feels like to rather be dead than alive . ’
Chu Li and Bai Ye looked at him in silence . They were very surprised at how fast he had grown overnight, but somehow also missed the child who was innocent and domineering . The innocence in him had been completely destroyed now .
If that was what he had to go through to become stronger, then it was indeed really cruel .
In the corridor, the young kid had coincidentally met Xu Xing . For a moment, he thought that Xu Nuo had come back . Indeed, both of them looked alike, especially when she was dressed in red . At first glance, she was Xu Nuo .
But on second look, he knew that she was not .
“Hey, are you okay?” When Xu Xing saw him, she came running over to him with small steps . Her face was still red and cute . “I’m sorry that I threw your jade pendant away . ”
She wasn’t Nuo Nuo no matter how alike they looked .
He looked gloomy and Xu Xing was reminded of how crazily he had behaved in the pool . She was a little afraid . Why did he feel strange to her?
“Are you okay? I have already apologized . What else do you want me to do?”
The young kid didn’t say anything, walked past her, and left a few words . “I will ask someone to send you off later . ”
