Su Yue’s heart missed a beat . Her blaming words were stuck in her throat .
She clenched her phone and held her breath, keeping quiet .
On the other end, Ming Ansheng said nothing further . A sad song played in the background .
Other than restaurants, Su Yue had never been to any other entertainment outlets, so she didn’t know where Ming Ansheng was .
When she heard the song, she felt like crying even when the tears on her eyelashes hadn’t dried yet .
“Sleep early . ”
After a while, Ming Ansheng piped up, helpless and devastated .
Without waiting for her reply, he hung up .
Su Yue stared at the screen .
‘Yueyue, I miss you . Can you come out?’
‘Bang!’
“Ah…” The phone slipped through her fingers and fell on her face . She came to her senses and cried out in pain .
The heavy phone fell on her cheekbone and it felt as though her cheek was burning in pain . “So annoying . ”
Su Yue threw the phone at the head of the bed angrily, then hid under the covers .
‘You can’t waver . Su Yue, you can’t waver . ’
Su Yue had been away for ten days, including her stay in the hospital and at home . The next day, Su Yue woke up early and requested to return to school .
She had been in torturous pain a few days ago, but these few days, her wounds didn’t hurt anymore . But her mind went wild now and then .
She would go mad if she carried on like this .
She wanted to return to school to find something to do, not let herself be idle .
She cooped herself up in her room the whole of yesterday, refusing to eat and drink . So Xuxu didn’t stop her when she requested to head back to school .
She understood her internal struggle and agony .
She had to let her face it herself . If she kept sheltering her, she wouldn’t grow up .
She would be at a loss every time she met an obstacle .
Xuxu personally sent Su Yue to school .
There were fallen leaves all over the floor in the school campus during winter . Some of them danced in the breeze and others lay quietly on the ground .
Xuxu held onto her elbow . They chatted about happy things as they walked .
“Let’s see how your third brother fares . If he doesn’t meet our standard these few days, let’s ditch him and leave for Country M together . ”
Su Yue imagined the annoyance Yan Rusheng would feel if Xuxu were to ditch him and she smiled .
If that were to happen, her third brother would surely hate her to death .
She gazed forward and her expression suddenly stilled . She stopped in her steps .
“If you were to…” Xuxu continued, turning to look at her .
When she saw that she was in a daze, she looked over as well . The cheerful and sunny boy was standing there in his sports attire, his hands tucked into his gray jersey shorts .
His beautiful eyes stared over and met Su Yue’s .
“Jiao Chen . ”
Xuxu froze but came to her senses first, smiling at Jiao Chen .
She held onto Su Yue’s elbow and led her towards Jiao Chen .
He started walking over, too .
When they met, Su Yue looked downwards and rubbed her shoe against the floor .
Xuxu looked at Jiao Chen, then at Su Yue . She smiled and said, “Yueyue, I won’t send you back to your dormitory . I’ll head home first . ”
She cried so badly yesterday because Jiao Chen broke up with her . She had to face this herself .
