Chapter 18: The Four Sisters

  Hurriedly fleeing back to the dormitory, Su Yan and Ning Jing were both absent. This was the first time I felt that this dormitory was bigger and emptier than I had imagined.

  "Ah Qian? Is that you?" A soft voice came from Xu Luokai's bed. I turned on the light and found Xu Luokai curled up in a ball, sitting on her own bed, with her face buried in her knees, so her voice was muffled.

  "Xu Luokai, what's wrong?" I took two steps forward and asked her in confusion.

  Xu Luokai lifted her head, her face was covered with bruises, just like the first night I met her. I was startled and quickly went to get a cloth to apply medicine for her.

  In my impression, Xu Luokai hasn't been so seriously injured for a long time.

  "Are you fighting again?"

  "Hmm." Xu Luoke responded in a low voice, and only at times like these would she become exceptionally quiet.

  I applied the medicine to her, my technique very skilled. Every time Xu Luokai came back injured, it was almost always me who treated her wounds. This had become a tacit understanding between us.

  "Ah, Jian." Xu Luoke opened her mouth, her tone was filled with a thread of confusion. Her eyes were empty and unfocused, she called out my name, but I felt as if she was looking through me at someone else.

  "I'm here." I said, "I've been here, I've always been here."

  Xu's gaze finally fell on me, and I saw her struggling in her eyes, as if she was a trapped beast.

  "What's wrong?" I've never seen Xuluo Kai like this before, she's always been carefree and only quietens down when hurt, but soon returns to her usual self, I've never seen her with such an expression.

  "Ah Qian, I think I've taken a liking to a boy." As Xu Luo said this, her eyes sparkled with a hint of light, looking especially captivating.

  I paused for a moment with the hand I was using to apply medicine to her, and then stupidly opened my mouth to ask, "What did you say?"

  Xu Luokai smiled, and the smile spread to her eyebrows and eyes. "I said I have a crush on a boy, Ah Jing you know, I really have a crush on a boy."

  I don't know and I dare not believe it.

  "He's not a student from our school, but today he saved me. I've never felt what it's like to be protected by someone before, and now I think I'm in love with him." Xuluo said, "This is love at first sight."

  Love at first sight.

  What a familiar yet strange word.

  I hadn't even had a chance to speak, when Xu Luoke's eyes dimmed again. "But he already has a girlfriend. Ah Qian, what should I do?" She grasped my hand as if it were a lifeline, and the feeling was as if I were her only hope.

  I looked at her with difficulty, "I don't know. Xu Luo Kai, are you really here?"

  Xu Luokai didn't say a word, only constantly nodding her head. Her eyes suddenly became dazed, as if recalling something, and revealed an expression that was both sweet and bitter.

  Xu Luo went crazy.

  I stared at her with wide eyes and suddenly became flustered.

  My own emotions are a mess, and even Xu Luokai has fallen into the whirlpool of love.

  It seems that the four of us, the iron-clad quartet, have all been trapped by that thing called love. I like Li Yang, but at the same time, I hope he doesn't get close to me; Su Yan has been secretly in love with Gu Liu Yi, she's brave yet timid, knowing that this feeling is impossible, yet still willing to be the moth that flies into the flame; Xu Luo Kai fell in love with a boy at first sight, her emotions came suddenly and intensely, catching everyone off guard.

  Among us, it seems that only quiet emotions are smooth sailing.

  At that time, I didn't know who Xu Luokai liked. I think if I had known at the time, I would have stopped him no matter what, even if it meant death, and I would have cut off Xu Luokai's thoughts right then and there.

  At that time, I knew nothing and only knew that Xu Luokai had a crush on a boy, but she never knew who the person she liked was.
