The following day, the sun shone brightly in the cloudless sky .
When An Xiaxia arrived at school, Kang Jian was no longer there .
She called him on his cell phone and Kang Jian’s mum picked up in the end, talking in her usual loud and hearty voice . “He’s going to the army today! He’s already boarded the train! His dad and I both think it’s a good thing . You and Xiao Su don’t need to worry about him . Study hard~”
“Why did he leave so soon…” An Xiaxia asked, a little upset .
“The time was fixed for quite a while . He said he didn’t want to upset you and Xiao Su, so he kept it from you on purpose . Hoho… such a dumb kid…” Mother Kang began to sob . “He’s such a fool…”
He would have to stay in the army for at least two years, and it was only natural that his mother would be sad about his long absence .
Moreover, she knew better than anyone else why her son had made this decision…
An Xiaxia also felt awful . Her eyes were red after she hung up .
Su Xiaomo got the news of Kang Jian joining the army after she arrived at school and she was dumbstruck . “Seriously? He never said anything about it! Shit… He’s such a goof . Will they give him a hard time in the army…”
“Hm… stop it . ” An Xiaxia felt sadder at her words and Su Xiaomo was in a bad mood, too . Sheng Yize and He Jiayu exchanged a look, both feeling helpless .
What could they do to cheer them up?
The two girls were in a gloomy mood the whole day . After school, they went to eat barbecue together .
With their friend away, even the meat didn’t taste as good .
“People talk about going their separate ways after graduation… but we haven’t graduated yet and it’s already happened to us…” Su Xiaomo was rather sentimental today . She poured An Xiaxia a glass of beer and they both drained their glasses . An Xiaxia then murmured, “I hope his dreams come true and he can live a happy life . ”
“Haha…” Su Xiaomo’s laugh sounded hollow . “Without him, life doesn’t feel as fun . ”
Both girls fell silent .
September this year felt desolate because of this parting of friends .
Sooner or later, life would inflict unavoidable pain on you, which you had no choice but to endure .
Then, adults called this experience — growing up .
Su Xiaomo slammed her chopsticks down on the table after a few bites of meat . “This sucks . That goofy fellow’s not around now and I have no one to punch and scold . ”
An Xiaxia didn’t know whether to cry or laugh . “Do you think Worthless Kang will feel lucky to be able to escape you?”
“Go away! I’m not as ferocious as that! He Jiayu once said I’m a gentle girl!”
An Xiaxia shuddered . “You two are so mushy!”
“Hmph! I’ve always been a gentle baby!”
“Hm… Momo, I noticed something . You used to address yourself as someone else’s father, but you’ve switched to ‘baby’ now!”
Su Xiaomo buried her face in her hands . “I’m a baby!”
An Xiaxia: … The power of love was unbelievable . Why did she suddenly miss that savage Su Xiaomo from before?
She picked up her phone and saw that someone had been frantically trying to reach her on QQ .
“Xiaxia! Check the school bbs! You’ve gone viral!”
An Xiaxia broke out in a cold sweat immediately . Gosh, not again!
She opened the school bbs and saw the title of the most popular post: Love is in the air! Dear Sheng & Xia, have mercy on your fellow single classmates!
In the post was a video recording of Sheng Yize sticking up for her during physics class the other day .
“For one, do we need your permission to be together?
“For another…
“Last but not least…”
His magnificent speech rendered the dean speechless .
The bbs exploded over the post!
However, the main reason the post became so popular… was that Sheng Yize himself had replied!
