Chapter 2753 - 2746: Not Quite the Same

After a basketball game ended, it was already late. The team Ning Chenguang was on won the game, and he walked off the court drenched in sweat, casually lifting his wet white T-shirt to wipe the sweat off his face.

"Chenguang, you were great!" Zhan Xiche ran over with a smile, handing him a towel and a bottle of mineral water that she had prepared, and quickly explained as she saw Ning Chenguang hesitate upon receiving the towel, "I just bought these, they’re clean! You can use them without worry."

Zhan Xiche knew that people who study medicine often have a bit of a cleanliness fetish.

"Thank you." Ning Chenguang took them, wiped his sweat, and gulped down the water. It was then that he realized He Yueyue, who had just been standing there, was gone.

Seeing Ning Chenguang looking around, Zhan Xiche asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Where’s Yueyue?" he asked.

"So her name is Yueyue!" The name was indeed pleasant, but the person wasn’t particularly admirable, "She’s gone!"

"Gone?" Ning Chenguang found it a bit surprising. Yueyue used to love sticking with him when she was little, but now she seemed like a different person, leaving without even saying goodbye?

"Yeah, gone! Why? You seem quite concerned about this sister who shares no blood relation with you! Who is she, anyway? How come she’s staying at your house? From what I heard, she implied she’ll be living with your family and won’t leave anymore?" Zhan Xiche remained very concerned about this issue.

"They saved my life when I was very young and even took care of me for a year. Recently, there was an earthquake in Linjiang; her parents died in it, so my dad brought her to our house. She won’t be leaving anymore." Ning Chenguang simply explained to Zhan Xiche.

"No wonder!" Zhan Xiche finally understood why He Yue ignored her, realizing that she’d hit a sore spot.

"No wonder what?" Ning Chenguang pursued.

"It’s nothing! Chenguang, it’s getting dark, let’s head back!" Zhan Xiche quickly changed the subject.

"Okay." Ning Chenguang nodded.

When Ning Chenguang returned home, He Yue was sitting at the dining table, leaning on her hand, looking at the tree shadows swaying outside the window, deep in thought.

At that moment, An Hao hurriedly came out of the bedroom and told Ning Chenguang and He Yue, "I need to go to the hospital. A very important patient has come in tonight and needs a major surgery! I might not return, so after dinner, you two should get some rest. By the way, I remember Chenguang has no classes tomorrow morning, right? Tomorrow is He Yueyue’s first day at her new school, so take her there for me. I might not come back!"

"Got it. Mom, it’s late now, be careful on the road!" Ning Chenguang kindly reminded An Hao.

"Don’t worry. You take good care of He Yue at home!" An Hao said before hurriedly leaving with her bag.

At the dining table, the two young people sat facing each other and began to eat.

Seeing He Yueyue remain silent, Ning Chenguang felt a bit puzzled and spoke first, "Yueyue, why did you come back so early today?"

"It’s nothing, just felt a bit tired so I came back early," He Yue replied simply.

"Is it really just that?" Ning Chenguang thought she seemed a bit strange, feeling that Yueyue seemed different this time compared to before.
