Sitting in the corner, Alex secretly observed Kiara's demeanor, but her manner while chatting with friends was very normal. Maybe it wasn't something Kiara had dropped.
If it wasn't dropped by Kiara, that would be good news for Alex. That way, he wouldn't have to struggle with how to handle the situation or how to face her.
Five minutes later, Kiara was still acting completely normal. Alex suddenly felt relieved.
Perhaps due to the influence of the young Alex's memories, Kiara was a very well-behaved, obedient, and pure girl in his mind. Suddenly learning that she was doing that kind of thing behind his back was understandably shocking. Now that it was proven not to be her, he felt a sense of relief.
However, curiosity followed. Since it wasn't Kiara's, then whose was it? The person who sat in her seat before?
Alex thought for a while and decided not to pursue the matter. He decided to turn off the remote and throw it away, because if the owner of the lost item was still in the cafeteria, she might be enduring something.
But the owner probably wasn't in the cafeteria anymore, otherwise she would have come back to look for it. Yet Alex had been sitting here for so long and no one had come over.
Alex then turned off the remote, violently pried it open, removed the battery, and destroyed the internal components. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if someone else picked it up after he threw it away.
Having done all this, Alex put the pile of scrap trash into his pocket, planning to throw it away after finishing his meal. Just as he was about to take the last bite, he instinctively looked toward Kiara and saw her wearing a look of sudden loss, which made him freeze.
Then, Kiara looked over here in a panic. Alex hurriedly withdrew his gaze, picked up his tray, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
Halfway out, he took out his phone to use as a mirror to look behind him. He saw Kiara running over after he left, lowering her head to look under the table as if searching for something.
Alex put his phone away and left with a complicated mood.
At that moment, Kiara looked up, glanced at him, and a triumphant smile appeared on her face.
...
When school ended in the evening, Kiara sent a message to Alex, asking him to go back together.
Alex didn't know how to face her. He originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that Kiara might already suspect he had picked up her thing. If he refused, it would make her even more suspicious.
Without hesitating for long, Alex replied to Kiara.
Learning that she was coming to find him, Alex took a deep breath, trying his best to act normal as he stood up and walked outside.
The two met and chatted on the way home as usual.
Passing by a supermarket, they bought some chicken breast. Kiara also suggested buying quite a few other vegetables, saying they would cook together tonight. She even bought a bottle of high-proof white liquor for cooking.
At this time, the other Kiara was in a bustling place, leisurely watching the sunset. She was on a mountain in the suburbs, wearing a hat and holding a cup of milk tea, enjoying herself.
Looking at the beauty of the sunset, Kiara couldn't help but think: "So beautiful. I really want to watch it with Xiao Ke. What is he doing?"
Habitually taking out her phone, Kiara then remembered she had already handed it to her other self, so she had no choice but to put her hand back down awkwardly.
"Just let me be willful for a few days. Leave everyone's sight and feel freedom. After it's over, I'll go back. Thank you for your hard work, my other self,"
Kiara said in a low voice.
