Chapter 1337: Things happen for a reason—there must be a ghost. Lu Yun was struck by lightning. Staring at Zhang Ning for a long while, as if she no longer recognized the beautiful woman before her, she murmured softly, "It has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with me..." Time seemed to have stopped at that moment, the only movement in the room being the rhythmic rise and fall of Zhang Ning's shoulders. …… Is it really none of my business? Truly, none of my concern? Land Cloud, who was rushing toward the classroom like a wild bull, suddenly halted. Before him, Zhang Ning's weary yet graceful face seemed to reappear once more. Even if it has nothing to do with me, I must know the truth. Turning around, Land Cloud's eyes were filled with determination. With his composure restored, he began to slowly organize the scattered thoughts in his mind. That single statement had indeed struck him, yet now, with calmness returning, he suddenly realized that behind the terrifying scars on Ning's body must lie a profoundly brutal secret. Could he truly just walk away and leave her to bear it all silently? Lu Yun walked and thought, and even if in the end he truly had no fate with Ning姐, the fact remained that they had once deeply cared for each other. If that were so, then Lu Yun couldn’t just watch helplessly as she, a delicate young woman, bore all the pain alone. Lu Yun sneered. The two people who had given him life but had never truly nurtured him—where were they now, enjoying themselves? He had never had parents; he only had the relatives who cared for and loved him now. He glanced coldly at the slightly crooked roasted chicken, shrugged indifferently, and strode off toward the canteen. What Lu Yun currently wants to know is how the striking scars on Zhang Ning came to be. With so many vivid and severe scars, not only would such a girl find it hard to bear, but even someone like Zhang Yi—strong and robust, as solid as a black bear—would struggle to endure them. His heart ached as he couldn’t understand why Zhang Yi, so devoted and protective of Zhang Ning, had allowed so many scars to form on her back. Something must be behind this—there’s surely a reason, and perhaps even a hidden story. As he thought these thoughts, he had already arrived at the cafeteria entrance. Classes were in session, and the dining hall was completely empty. Instead of going straight to Zhang Ning’s room, Lu Yun headed into the cafeteria, where he hoped to find Liu Yun. As for Zhang Yi, he knew it would be nearly impossible to extract useful information from the big, strong man—so much so that it might be better to settle for Liu Yun, who might just hold the answers he was seeking. Thinking thus, Lu Yun took one step after another toward Liu Yun's bedroom. As he just stepped into the spacious kitchen, a sudden voice from the bedroom came through: "Zhang Yi, are you still human? You make Xiao Ning suffer so much just for this. I've always wondered why, every weekend, you insist on taking Xiao Ning out for two days—now I understand, it's all because you're making Xiao Ning endure such hardships." "Yun, please don't worry about this—do you really not know my background? What I'm doing has been approved by my senior sister." Before Zhang Yi could finish speaking, Liu Yun inside the room had already become furious, her voice soft yet sharp: "I don't care! From now on, you're not to take Xiao Ning out alone. If I catch you doing it even once more, I'll have no peace with you—whether or not I summon your senior sister, Xiao Ning will never again suffer such unbearable torment." "Still not satisfied, Liu Yun continued her river-dragon roar: 'This black bear of yours, who deserves to be slaughtered with a thousand knives and a thousand blades—Little Ning is your own sister! How could you be so heartless, so unwilling to let a young girl carry all the burdens for you and your grown-up colleagues?' As she spoke, a soft sobbing sound emerged from the room. Lu Yun listened, growing increasingly confused, yet gradually piecing together the situation. Now, he paused, standing still in the kitchen. Indeed, there must be more to this story. From the conversation between Zhang Yi and Liu Yun, he sensed something significant. At this moment, however, it would still be premature to rush into their bedroom. 'I'll go check on Little Ning, Zhang Yi. Tell me this—what you're doing now won't just fail to achieve your goals; it will actually harm Little Ning. Do you realize that?' Liu Yun's voice rang out once more, and as she finished speaking, the door to the bedroom opened, and she stepped out, wiping tears from her eyes and hurrying forward. "Lu Yun, you're not going to class—what are you doing here?" Liu Yun hurried forward and didn't see Lu Yun standing in the kitchen, so she bumped into him right away. Lu Yun remained silent, his face serious, and simply turned to walk toward the canteen. After a brief thought, Liu Yun shook her head slightly and followed Lu Yun out. Outside the canteen, Lu Yun stopped, his eyes fixed on Liu Yun, and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go see Madame Ning together." Liu Yun didn't know how long Lu Yun had been standing in the kitchen, nor what she and her husband had been talking about, so she nodded silently and followed him toward Zhang Ning's room.
