Volume 3 Chapter 14: Something Happened to My Sister?
Gao Ye…
Lin Yu didn’t know why this name suddenly came to his mind. Maybe it was because she had left a strong impression on him before. Or maybe there was some other reason.
Anyway, once this person appeared in his thoughts, Lin Yu made up his mind.
Gao Ye was Gao Liang’s younger sister, and she seemed to get along pretty well with Lin Lin.
If I ask her, maybe I can learn something?
Lin Yu wasn’t very sure. To be honest, the best person to ask would be Lin Lin herself. But he couldn’t bring himself to openly show concern for her. So instead, he decided to ask someone close to her.
Luckily, he had seen Gao Ye before. Otherwise, thinking about how lonely his sister used to be, with not a single friend, he wouldn’t even know who to ask.
Thinking this, Lin Yu took out his phone. He couldn’t remember which class Gao Ye was in, but thankfully, he had added her contact before.
Still, after adding her, they barely talked at all.
Lin Yu thought for a while and sent a message, but there was no reply for a long time. After a moment, he wondered—
Did she forget to bring her phone?
Hmm…
Before he could finish thinking, the screen suddenly lit up with an incoming voice call from the chat app. The ringtone startled him, but he quickly reacted.
He pressed the green button and answered.
Phew—
Lin Yu let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it was break time.
“Hello, hello, Lin Lin’s little brother. Why are you looking for me?”
On the other end of the call, the girl sat casually on her desk. Her bold posture made a few friends nearby step aside awkwardly, afraid her swinging legs might hit them.
But Gao Ye didn’t care at all. What she cared about more was why Lin Lin’s younger brother suddenly contacted her.
She actually remembered that boy quite well. Hmm… how to say it, he was pretty interesting.
So why was Lin Yu calling her?
“Well, it’s like this,” Lin Yu said calmly. “Gao Ye, you saw my sister give a speech on stage today, right? I felt that something was wrong with her emotions during the speech… so I wanted to ask if you know what happened to her.”
Lin Yu clearly organized his thoughts and asked his question directly. But this completely caught Gao Ye off guard.
Lin Lin’s situation…
Hmm. It seems this kid misunderstood her relationship with Lin Lin quite a bit.
Sure, she liked teasing Lin Lin, but they weren’t together every day. How could she know exactly what was going on with Lin Lin?
But…
Her emotions.
Gao Ye nodded slightly. She did notice that Lin Lin looked off during the speech today.
She hadn’t thought too much about it and didn’t think it was a big deal, but—
I can ask my brother!
He must know a lot of inside details, right?
Ahem…
But… he probably won’t tell me.
When it comes to Lin Lin, that stupid brother of mine protects her way too much. He never shares any secrets or gossip with me at all.
Sigh~
Thinking about this, Gao Ye couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of helplessness.
Help, if I can’t hear any gossip about Sister Lin Lin, I’ll die!
Anyway, there was nothing Gao Ye could do about it.
“Um… I’m sorry. I don’t really know what’s going on with Sister Lin Lin…”
Gao Ye felt awkward and a little guilty for not being able to help. On Lin Yu’s side, he was clearly disappointed.
“I see… then I guess I’ll go ask Lin Lin myself…”
Just as Lin Yu was speaking, a girl suddenly rushed past him in a hurry.
She was running around nervously. When she heard the boy next to her say the name “Lin Lin,” she froze for a moment and quickly stopped.
“Hey! Do you know where Lin Lin is?!”
The girl immediately shouted at Lin Yu, who was still on the phone. Lin Yu was stunned. After looking carefully and realizing he didn’t know her, he became even more confused.
Who is this girl…?
The girl in front of Lin Yu was none other than Xiao Bai, who had run out to look for Lin Lin.
She had almost searched every classroom, but still couldn’t find Lin Lin anywhere.
Maybe because she was too anxious, her thinking wasn’t very clear. Right now, she could only grab onto this boy who had just said the name “Lin Lin” and hope to find some clue.
“Well… you just said ‘Lin Lin,’ right? Um… were you talking about Lin Lin from our class? The one who gave a speech on stage today? Or… did I hear wrong?”
Xiao Bai suddenly became unsure again. Lin Yu thought for a moment before understanding what she meant.
“Uh… yes, that Lin Lin. Um… who are you?”
Lin Yu scratched his head as he asked. Xiao Bai quickly explained, full of worry.
“I’m Lin Lin’s friend. After her speech today, she ran off by herself. I can’t find her anywhere. She’s been bullied by a classmate named Han Kui these past few days. I don’t know where she went, and I’m really worried about her!”
“W–What?!”
Lin Yu was shocked. Even Gao Ye on the other end of the call felt anxious.
So that means…
Something might have happened to Lin Lin?
“Then what about the person who bullied her? Where is she now?”
“I don’t know. The teacher said she took leave. Both of them disappeared around the same time, so I’m really worried. Han Kui has been bullying Lin Lin a lot lately, cutting her uniform, pouring glue on her chair. That’s why Lin Lin lost control of her emotions today. I’m really worried about her…”
“This…”
The more Lin Yu listened, the angrier he became.
What kind of person does something like this to my sister?!
No, no… I have to find Lin Lin quickly. Nothing bad can happen to her.
If those two disappeared together, then it’s very likely my sister was dragged somewhere by that girl.
I have to find her. It’s hard to follow my sister’s social circle since she doesn’t talk to many people, but—
“What was that person’s name again?!” Lin Yu shouted at Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai clearly noticed how emotional he was and quickly waved her hands to calm him down.
“You mean Han Kui? Um… please don’t panic. I just wanted to ask if you have any clues about where Lin Lin might be…”
“I’m Lin Lin’s younger brother. I have to find her,” Lin Yu said, breathing fast. “I get it. I’ll go look for that person. As long as nothing bad happens!”
After saying that, he hung up the call with Gao Ye and quickly left. He tried calling Lin Lin, no answer. Then he started messaging his friends while running off.
Behind him, Xiao Bai awkwardly scratched her head.
So… even Lin Lin’s brother doesn’t know where she is?
