Su Yue looked at the side of his face, pressed her lips together, and said nothing .
It was the holidays and everyone was leaving the school . There were many people carrying boxes around .
It had been snowing in the capital city, but there were still a few wilted leaves remaining on the tree branches, tenaciously clinging on, but eventually falling to the ground .
Su Yue and Jiao Chen walked side by side . From their back views, they looked like a pair .
Su Yue followed his pace . When she lifted her head, she realized that they had already reached the food street outside the East entrance .
The place where she had her first meal with Jiao Chen .
Although many students had already left, the street was still bustling with activity .
“I want to eat that . ” Su Yue smiled and pointed at a place selling spicy hotpot .
Sticks were pierced through strings of food and cooked in a large pot of spicy soup .
Su Yue ran over, picked up a stick, and began eating . As she ate, she continued choosing other sticks of food and placing it on a plate that the stall owner passed to her .
Jiao Chen stood by her side, watching her . She was looking through the sticks of food in all seriousness to find the ones that she liked . A gentle smile unconsciously formed on his face .
“Boss, that’s all . I’ll have them on the go . How much do these cost?” Su Yue said, passing him the plate .
She then tried to reach her pocket and it suddenly hit her that she had forgotten to bring her wallet out .
“That would be 14 dollars,” the stall owner replied .
Jiao Chen spoke up from beside her . “Here . ”
His slender fingers were holding a twenty-dollar note, and he passed it to the owner .
Su Yue took the bag of food from the owner, somewhat relieved . Immediately, she took another stick out and began eating .
After paying, they continued walking forward .
The street wasn’t long but from the start until the end, they still attracted the attention of the crowd .
But they were calm . They were used to it .
On their way back, Su Yue’s tummy was finally full . She held a cup of hot milk tea, drinking as she walked .
“Su Yue,” Jiao Chen suddenly called .
She lifted her head and looked at him in confusion . “Yes?”
They didn’t say a word the entire walk . She would eat whatever she liked and Jiao Chen would follow after her, settling the bill .
Jiao Chen didn’t take the initiative to strike a conversation .
So when he suddenly called out to her, she was confused . Did he have something to tell her?
Jiao Chen smiled . “Happy new year . ”
Su Yue pressed her lips together and smiled . “It’s still too early for that . ”
“I don’t know what I should say,” Jiao Chen admitted, looking downwards, a face of helplessness .
He really wanted to talk to her, to hear her voice, but he didn’t know what to say .
Su Yue’s heart skipped a beat . She looked at him and hesitated . “Then, you can wish me a happy new year . ”
Actually, she didn’t know what to say either .
They knew each other so well, yet she felt like he was a stranger . Every time she saw him since they broke up, she wanted to talk to him, but she didn’t know what to say .
She felt that they shouldn’t be so distant .
Jiao Chen nodded . “Happy new year . ”
He then lowered his head and looked at Su Yue’s small hand, which hung by her side . His fingers trembled in his pockets .
Even the longest roads had its ending .
Su Yue never imagined that during her next meeting with Jiao Chen, they would be so far apart…
She had finished her milk tea . Su Yue walked with her head bowed, out of habit .
Suddenly, a deep voice called out from in front of her . “Su Yue . ”
Su Yue looked over to see an old man, with a head full of white hair, waiting by the dormitory entrance . He was staring at her . Confused, she slowed her pace and scanned him from head to toe .
