Except for the two insiders, no one else noticed anything unusual.
However, when Holly saw that Crystal was lowering her head, in order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstanding, she took the initiative to explain, "Lil Star, Erik and I came here today for..."
They were not here purely for a meal. There was something that Holly needed Erik's help to deal with. Besides, two other colleagues came here with her. However, they wanted to go to the supermarket and had already left.
Crystal interrupted her, "Brother, Sister Holly, I still have classes in the afternoon. If I'm late, my credits will be deducted. We're going to be late. We'll leave first!"
The elevator door opened slowly at this time, and she took the senior sister's hand and ran out quickly.
Holly was a little confused.
Erik pursed his lips tightly as he watched Crystal run away.
On a clear night.
Crystal was sitting in front of the desk by the window, reading a medical book and taking notes with a pen in her hand.
The moonlight was beautiful tonight, and it shone through the window.
When the tired Crystal leaned back and stretched, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
Seeing the caller on the phone, she paused for two seconds and slowly picked it up. "Hello?"
Erik said, "Lil Star, I'm downstairs!"
Crystal stood up and looked down. As expected, she saw an off-road vehicle downstairs.
Erik was standing by the car. Although he was drowned in the night, his body wrapped in military uniform was still tall and straight.
Crystal held her phone tightly, changed into shoes and went downstairs.
She ran out in a hurry. When she stepped out of the apartment door, she deliberately adjusted her pace and walked out slowly. A puzzled look appeared on her little face. "Brother, why are you here?"
Erik raised his hand and gently pressed the hair in her ear. "To see you!"
Crystal was at a loss.
Since they came back from Ice city, there seemed to be something between them. They were not as close as before. One reason was that she had known that he liked Holly. Besides, it was also because she had subconsciously kept away from him.
Crystal asked hesitantly, "Then... do you want to go upstairs and drink some tea?"
"No need." Erik shook his head and looked at her. "Lil Star, I'm here to say goodbye to you!"
"Goodbye?" Crystal was astonished.
The dim yellow street lights seemed to be able to pierce into people's eyes. Erik squinted and said, "I'm going back to the Tbridge City."
Crystal was stunned. She couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Go back to the Tbridge City? Why? You've just been transferred to Francis..."
"After graduating from the military school, I went straight into the army. I haven't spent much time with my mother over the years, so I can take better care of her when I go back to the Tbridge City. She always looks forward to me helping her manage the company." Erik's eyes were dark and there was a hint of loneliness in them. "The most important thing is that there is no point in staying here!"
At that time, he insisted on going to Francis from Tbridge City, regardless of the repeated persuasion of the leaders in the army. The only reason for that was Crystal.
But now, there was no need for Erik to stay.
Crystal was silent.
The news was too sudden for her.
Crystal asked in a dull voice, "Brother, when are you leaving? I want to see you off!"
Erik said, "I have a task to complete. I’ll leave tonight. After the task is completed, I'll be directly transferred back to the Tbridge City."
Crystal was silent.
No wonder he came here in the middle of the night just to say goodbye to her in advance.
