1363 Where Are You Going?
However, when they thought about how they could not serve the Sect Master for a long time, everyone present felt disappointed.
She didn’t want to see everyone so sad. After all, it wasn’t like they were going to part in life or death. If she didn’t have to leave, Jian Ai wouldn’t have wanted to leave either. Jian Ai changed the topic and asked, “Where are the others? Why are there only the few of you?”
Chi Lian explained, “The others went to the capital. Yu Wuyuan invited them as guests.”
Bai Zhou added, “After all, you said that you would leave after the New Year. Now that you suddenly want to bring it forward, I wonder if they can come back in time to send you off.”
Hearing this, Jian Ai raised her hand and gestured. “In that case, don’t tell them. Let them have fun.”
Jian Ai did not like to be the moon surrounded by stars. When the time came, she would inevitably be sad. She wanted to leave secretly, so no one had to send her off.
Bai Zhou understood Jian Ai and nodded. Then, he said seriously, “Sect Master, is there anything we need to do before you leave?”
Jian Ai shook her head. “It’s nothing. It’s mostly my private matter. I’ll handle it.”
Bai Zhou would naturally take care of the company’s matters in an orderly manner. Jian Ai knew she didn’t have to worry.
Before leaving, Jian Ai would meet the people she needed to see and say everything she needed to say.
Thinking of this, the first person to flash across Jian Ai’s mind was Ji Haoyu. She indeed missed him after not seeing him for a month.
As soon as Bai Zhou and the rest left, Lin Yi, Xia Qinghuan, and the rest arrived at the hospital.
“Xiao Ai, you’re awake!”
As soon as she entered the ward and saw that Jian Ai was awake, Xia Qinghuan rushed to the bed and looked at Jian Ai with concern. Seeing that her face was red, as if she was alright, she said, “Are you okay? Are you better? Do you still feel uncomfortable?”
The others also surrounded her. Seeing this, Jian Ai couldn’t help but reveal a comfortable smile. “I’m fine. I’m sorry. I scared you yesterday!”
“You almost scared me to death!” Guan Tao couldn’t help but say. When she thought of the scene yesterday, she couldn’t help but hold her chest in fear.
Jian Ai smiled in embarrassment.
They moved stools and sat down. Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask, “You have such a big bump. It must hurt, right?”
“It hurts quite a bit. I don’t even dare to touch it now,” Jian Ai said truthfully, but her tone was relaxed.
Yan Tian asked the question that had troubled him for the entire night straightforwardly. “Jian Ai, how did you get this bump? Why did you faint?”
At that time, Jian Ai locked the bathroom door, so no one knew if Jian Ai fainted because she hit something or if she hit something when she fainted!
The others also looked at Jian Ai curiously.
Seeing this, Jian Ai could only lie helplessly. “The bathroom was too slippery. I accidentally slipped and hit the sink. Then, I fainted!”
When Yan Tian heard that, he couldn’t help but slap his thigh and say with an expression that said, “See, I knew it! She hit her head when she slid and fainted!”
Seeing this, Xia Qinghuan rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, “You know so much.”
Yan Tian chuckled and raised his eyebrows smugly.
Seeing that Jian Ai was fine, everyone was relieved.
However, at this moment, Jian Ai looked at her good friends in front of her and felt conflicted. This was because she knew she should tell them the news of her leaving.
After her rebirth, Lin Yi, Xia Qinghuan, Gao Yang, and Yan Tian could be considered her unexpected gains. She never thought that she would become such good friends with them. It was so good that Jian Ai was reluctant when she knew she was leaving.
She was even a little afraid. If she left for three to five years and came back, would they still be friends?
However, no matter what, Jian Ai would not disappear for no reason. The moment she would leave, she had already thought of telling them.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Jian Ai slowly said, “Ah… I have something to tell you.”
As soon as she spoke, her tone subconsciously became heavy. This made the others stop talking and laughing and look at Jian Ai in unison.
Seeing her solemn expression, Qinghuan couldn’t help but frown and ask carefully, “What’s wrong, Xiao Ai? Why do you have such an expression?”
Jian Ai raised her eyes and slowly swept her gaze across their faces. Then, she said with difficulty, “I’m leaving in a few days!”
Hearing Jian Ai’s words, everyone couldn’t help but be surprised. No one reacted to what Jian Ai meant.
“Leave?” Guan Tao frowned and asked in confusion, “Xiao Ai… Where are you going?”
Both had grown up together. Guan Tao knew that Jian Ai was born and raised in Baiyun City. It was only from this year onwards that Jian Ai often left Baiyun City. However, even so, Guan Tao never thought that Jian Ai would leave Baiyuan City one day!
“Yes, Xiao Ai. What do you mean?” Xia Qinghuan panicked and quickly said, “Besides, the final examination is in less than a month. Aren’t you taking it?”
The others had the same reaction, especially Lin Yi. When he heard Jian Ai say that she was leaving, Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat, and he said nothing after that!
Jian Ai looked at the nervous and agitated people and quickly comforted them. “Don’t be agitated first. Don’t be so nervous.”
Without waiting for them to ask, Jian Ai said, “I plan to leave China for a while. I have to leave this time, but I’ll be back. I promise!”
Hearing that Jian Ai was not only leaving Baiyun but also China, Xia Qinghuan exclaimed, “You’re going abroad?”
Jian Ai nodded!
Guan Tao asked, “Why are you going abroad?”
Jian Ai thought for a moment and said, “Learn!”
Everyone was stunned. Only then did Lin Yi react and mutter, “You’re going to… study abroad?”
Jian Ai sighed and said, “I can’t say that I’m studying. In short, I have to learn something that I have to.”
These words sounded very roundabout, giving people the illusion that there was something difficult to say.
However, Xia Qinghuan’s mind suddenly lit up. Thinking that the company’s boss was Xiao Ai’s brother, she couldn’t help but guess. Could it be that her brother had arranged all of this?
With this thought in mind, Xia Qinghuan felt that must be the case. Otherwise, why would Jian Ai go abroad to study for no reason?
“I know this is sudden, but everything has been decided. You’re all very important friends of mine. I would definitely tell you about this,” Jian Ai said truthfully. “You don’t want me to suddenly disappear, right?”
“When are you coming back?” Lin Yi didn’t give up.
The others also looked at Jian Ai, waiting for her to give them a definite time.
However, Jian Ai didn’t know when she would be back, so she could only smile apologetically and say, “It depends!”
