Chap 4: She is no longer afraid to move forward

Scene: Wen Dei Highschool School gate

Qin Ran was quiet all the way to the school. When the Audi family car that took her and Xiaowen to school that day stopped in front of Wen Dei High School gate, they both quietly went out of the car. Xiaowen walked towards the school without looking or waiting for her at all.

She doesn't mind that as well.

She knows the school at the back of her hand. She knows she is at the lowest parallel class.

She used to mind being in this class. While she was from the country, she has a high IQ and she was able to get out the parallel class to the experimental class, a step below S class. She never befriended any of her classmates in the parallel class as she rocketed up through levels during her first year.

However, in this life, she has no plan of going to the experimental class. That is where she got to know Xu Junyen.

In this life, she wants to be as far away from him as possible. So she decided to enjoy her high school life this time.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Ran looked up and smiled. "Bring it on life, Qin Ran is ready..." she whispered to herself and took a step forward.

Only, when she is just a few steps away from the entrance, someone bumped her shoulder that caused her backpack hanging on just one shoulder to fall.

"Oops, sorry!". A young male deep voice uttered while picking her almost empty bag from the ground.

Then as to a time stop, they both look at each other.

Xu Junyen, who was stretching his right hand out to give the bag paused because he was fascinated by the hazel eyes he is seeing right now. And Qin Ran was in a daze when she realized that it was Xu Junyen, the person she was planning to avoid, is the person who bumped into her.

Then suddenly, their surrounding was filled with noises that pulled Qin Ran out from her daze and reached out to pull her bag out from Xu Junyen's hand.

"Thank you!" she quickly said and rushed towards the entrance without looking back.

Xu Junyen was still standing there, not really sure about what just happened. He felt that he just missed an opportunity. However, as he is getting late, he eventually shrugged it off and went on towards his class, slowly forgetting about this encounter.

Somewhere in the past life

"Q, someone broke through your firewall!"

Q looked at is subordinate. You can barely see any change of expression from his cold gaze. "Are you able to get who it is?"

"It's her! Qr. But I wonder why she didn't withdraw her IP. Surely she doesn't want us to discover she is peaking into our system, right?"

Q frowned. He knows this is not Qr's style. Any hacker wouldn't let themselves be exposed unless something happened in the middle and they left their computer.

"Check her system. Look into any camera connected to it." Q commanded.

At once, the monitor showed Qin Ran's computer room.

'She truly let us in like this?' Q wondered in his mind.

As they looked at the angles at a different screen, they finally saw her leaning at the back of her chair in front of her computer, seemingly unconscious.

"Call emergency and give her location," Q commanded while standing up. He grabbed his jacket from the back of his chair and quickly took off. His heart is beating quickly and his face can no longer hide the worry he is feeling right now.

He quickly arrived at her doorstep. He has to hack his way in until he can enter Qin Ran's computer lab. Once he got there, he felt her pulse right away. He felt his world collapsed when he can't feel anything at all. He kneeled on the floor beside her, holding her right hand.

"Ran Ran, how can you do this to me again? You left without saying goodbye. See, I am just next door to you but you never knew it. You didn't find out I was always near you, with you." He whispered in agony. "All these years I let you chase me. I hope that the moment you will discover me and learn who I am, you will forgive me and let me love you." Tears suddenly burst from his eyes.

"But before that happened, you left again... this time it seems this is for good. How could you be so cruel Ran Ran... Ran Ran, please give me a chance to love you." Q whispered full in anguish. His heart felt like it has broken into pieces.

When the rescue team arrived, they saw Q, head lying on Qin Ran's lap, both lifeless.
