The Heart's Desire

Early the next morning, Wei Liao carried a hot bowl of porridge over to Qin Yi's room. He shook his head, knocked on the door, and asked in a jovial voice, "Jiaojiao, are you awake?"

Silence was his reply. Wei Liao did not mind that Qin Jiaojiao was still asleep. He knocked again and spoke louder, "Jiaojiao, time to wake up."

10 minutes later, Wei Liao sensed that something was wrong. If she was sound asleep, his racket would have caused her to wake up by now. He should not have been greeted by silence.

Wei Liao immediately kicked the door open, only to be greeted by an empty room.

Wei Liao knew something was up. He placed the bowl down and turned to leave when he collided into Qin Hanyu.

Upon seeing Qin Hanyu, Wei Liao's eyes lit up. He ignored the pain in his nose and pulled Qin Hanyu towards Qin Yi's empty room, "Hanyu, quick! Jiaojiao is gone!"

Qin Hanyu frowned and consoled the anxious Wei Liao, "Wei Liao, calm down."
