But why are you crying today? Li Xianglu was taken aback when Iro burst into heavier sobs upon asking, her tears falling even more fiercely. Lu Anna sighed and said to Li Xianglu, "The Ailuo family has arranged a match for her. They want her to get married over the New Year."
Li Xianglu was stunned. Iro was the same age as Anna, both 23 this year. It wasn't early to talk about marriage, but to rush into it was another matter, considering it's a lifelong commitment.
Just as Anna finished speaking, Iro, embracing her schoolbag and a pile of stuff, stood up to leave, with tears continuously falling down.
Li Xianglu quickly grabbed her and frowned, "Iro, what are you trying to do?"
Iro stopped and explained to Li Xianglu and Anna, "I want to go out of town for a few days."
Out of town?
Iro was a little panicked and took a few breaths before explaining, "I have a boyfriend out of town, I want to find him."
Lu Anna frowned, "Boyfriend? Who is he?"
