Chu Hao, flushed with embarrassment, said, "Qinglian, I think we should develop our relationship slowly. Let's talk about holding hands later. You're too impatient."
Yi Qinglian rolled her eyes, which still looked quite fetching. Why am I the impatient one? How did this get blamed on me?
His phone rang. Chu Hao picked it up; seeing it was Qiu Xueying calling, he frowned slightly.
"Chu Hao, the Jade Pendant is broken! They... they've come."
"What?!"
Chu Hao was aghast.
Yi Qinglian quickly asked, "What happened?"
Chu Hao shouted, "Li Yin, get over here!"
Li Yin ran over eagerly. "What's up?"
"Take Qinglian back to school. I need to go to Teacher Qiu's place; something terrible has happened."
Li Yin didn't dare delay and nodded. "You go on. With me here, no one will dare touch a hair on Qinglian's head. I'll fight to the death anyone who tries."
Yi Qinglian quickly said, "I'm going too!"
