Chapter 571: The Things She Didn't Know (2)

From Huan Ying Entertainment, Qiao Anhao left for Mount Yi, which was located in the suburbs . When she arrived, it was already twelve in the afternoon .

Even though it was the middle of the day, the villa in Mount Yi looked like an utopia from another world . The tranquility made you feel at peace .

Since nobody answered the door when Qiao Anhao knocked on it, she entered the passcode that Lu Jinnian had once given her and entered the villa .

All four walls were made of floor-to-ceiling windows, which allowed for the natural sunlight to illuminate the villa with dots of light due to going through the surrounding forest .

Qiao Anhao went up the spiral staircase, straight for the bedroom door .

As before, when no one could find Lu Jinnian, she would always be able to find him here .

This time . . .

Qiao Anhao stood at the door with an indescribable sense of nervousness in her heart . She took a deep breath, then pushed open the door with trembling hands .

The bedroom was bright and clean . The bed was well made, without any signs of anyone having lain in it .

Surprisingly, Lu Jinnian wasn't at Mount Yi villa either .

Qiao Anhao furrowed her brows as she rushed into the bedroom, scanning every detail in the changing room and bathroom . Eventually, she walked out in disappointment .

Mount Yi villa was huge, but there weren't many rooms, which meant that each room was quite big . Qiao Anhao was afraid that Lu Jinnian might be in one of those rooms, so she scanned through every one of them on the second floor .

Apart from the bedroom, other rooms only had decorated walls . There weren't even any cabinets or beds . However, the room on the far west side had a piano with a piano book on it, and a side table, which had a bunch of papers sprawled on top of it . Qiao Anhao randomly picked one up to find that it was a pencil drawing . Though there weren't any colors, Qiao Anhao could clearly tell that it was a drawing of her .

A flash of astonishment crossed her eyes as she flipped through all of the sheets of paper . They looked quite old and as though someone had looked through them quite a few times, as they were rough around the edges .

From the clothes in the picture, you could tell they were of her in her middle school uniform . The drawings themselves were of her doing various stuff .

There were drawings of her back, of her side profile, of her immersed in a book, of her sprawled out on the table, asleep, of her dazing outside the classroom window, and there was also one of her smiling in front of her bike . . .

On the bottom right corner of all the sketches, there was a small line of words that was difficult to spot if one didn't take a closer look at it . That line contained the date, the words, 'Lu Jinnian', and the title: "The Woman I Love" .

When did Lu Jinnian learn to draw? These drawings were all drawn whilst he was in middle school . . .

Qiao Anhao suddenly remembered that when she used to often pass by his classroom, she would see him with a pencil in hand, drawing something at an alarming speed . At the time, she thought that he was just like her, randomly doodling whilst bored in class . Now that she thought about it, was he drawing her back then?

In those fleeting years of their youth, his efforts had far exceeded her expectations .

Just how much exactly did he do without her knowing about it?

The rims of Qiao Anhao's eyes started to burn as she stared at those drawings . After a long time had passed, she neatly placed each piece of paper back onto the table, and quietly left the room .

She stepped out of Mount Yi villa and stopped at the doorway . She lifted her head towards the sunshine and took a deep breath .

Lu Jinnian, just where the hell are you?
