The backstage area was cleaned up, and Chen Shujun said, “Sui Sui, aren’t you leaving yet?”
Jiang Sui’s gaze fell on the audience. She had looked many times but did not see any trace of Chi Yan.
Her dress was extremely gorgeous and beautiful, and coupled with the huge success the drama club had just achieved, many people were secretly looking at her.
“She’s the girl who just acted out the dark fairy tale, right?”
“Yes, the most popular girl in the Department of Journalism, Jiang Sui. I really like her looks.”
“I see she has been standing there for a long time. Is she waiting for someone?”
“Who would be willing to let her wait? She must be just curious. Shh, she’s looking over here. Let’s go. It’s still snowing outside. It’s freezing. Let’s go back to the dormitory and sleep early.”
Jiang Sui retracted her gaze and responded to Chen Shujun: “I’ll change my clothes and leave.”
She went to the dressing room to take off her performance clothes. Although she felt a little disappointed, she was not too depressed. After all, the school would close next month, and the New Year was approaching. Who wouldn’t be busy?
Jiang Sui walked to the school gate holding an umbrella and saw a familiar car. Her eyes lit up. But when she walked over, she saw that the person sitting in the car was Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang smiled innocently: “Miss Jiang, the boss asked me to pick you up.”
Jiang Sui said: “Thank you for your hard work, is there anything for him to do?”
“I don’t know. I guess they are busy. They are busy businessmen.”
Jiang Sui blew a breath to warm her hands, then nodded with a smile: “Yes, the New Year is coming soon.”
Uncle Zhang was also somewhat happy when talking about the upcoming Chinese New Year. After all, the Chinese New Year meant family reunion. He chatted with Jiang Sui for a while until he sent Jiang Sui home.
There was no light on in the house. Jiang Sui changed her shoes and went in. She had not eaten yet because of her performance tonight. She had wanted to go out for dinner with Chi Yan, but he did not come, so she had not eaten yet.
Jiang Sui looked at the time. It was already eleven o’clock in the evening. It was rare for Chi Yan not to come back at this time.
She rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen. She made herself a stir-fried pork belly with fermented black beans, paired it with scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, and then cooked some stomach-warming white porridge over low heat.
The meal was ready, but Chi Yan still hadn’t come home, so she decided to watch TV and wait for him.
Before Chi Yan entered the room, he saw the faint light coming from inside. He rubbed his forehead, not knowing what kind of scene he would face later. Jiang Shuisheng’s operation was over and it was very successful, but whether there would be rejection reaction and a series of subsequent events were uncertain.
He thought that if the little girl looked lost and sad, he would go along with her and be a little cold.
After all, he was not a considerate and promise-keeping man.
Shui Yang’s words today were also what he used to warn himself about his fate. No matter how despicable he was, he would not let her die with him. After all, she was a girl he had admired since he was young. She was a little stupid, but he couldn’t sacrifice his whole life just because she was unlucky to be with him.
Chi Yan paused, took out the key and opened the door.
The air was mixed with the cool aroma of food. At 1:30 in the morning, a soft girl was curled up on the sofa, fast asleep.
She heard the voice and opened her eyes in a daze and saw that there was still snow on his shoulders.
Chi Yan also pursed his lips and looked at her.
The two people’s eyes met, and he was about to frown and say that he was busy.
But her smile was like pink ink, smudged with the most moving colors in the world, and the quiet winter night painting came alive instantly. Little by little, it seemed to melt the coldness inside and out of him.
The girl jumped off the sofa, like a light little butterfly, and took out a towel and handed it to him. Her soft eyes were sincere and gentle: “Chi Yan, you are so busy, have you eaten well? You have stomach problems, you can’t treat your body like this. Now you are young and there are no sequelae, but it will be very uncomfortable when you are old.”
All the cold words were like a thorn in his throat.
He could hardly stand such bright and lovely colors, and the indifference and contempt he had forced himself to show were shattered by her effortlessly, turning into sharp glass, cutting and grinding his heart piece by piece.
His expression went blank for a moment.
Why could she be like this? She didn’t complain or lose her temper when she was bullied, and she was thinking sincerely about his stomach problem that he didn’t even care about.
He even wanted to get angry. Jiang Sui had such a good temper. What would she do if she met someone who treated her badly, bullied her, or cheated on her in the future?
Jiang Sui saw that he was just looking at her without saying a word, and she also felt that something was wrong with his mood, so she looked up at him.
With soft water in her eyes, she asked softly: “You are unhappy, did I do something wrong?”
He felt uncomfortable in his throat, and his heart seemed to be squeezed tightly: “I’m not unhappy. Sui Sui didn’t do anything wrong. It’s my fault. I wasn’t good enough to you.”
She said, “It doesn’t matter. If you can’t come this year, you can still come next year. Chi Yan, we have a lifetime together.”
A feeling of bitterness welled up in his eyes, and he himself probably didn’t even realize how hoarse his voice was.
“Well, a lifetime.”
Jiang Sui brought over the meal that had been kept warm. It was just two simple side dishes. The porridge had been cooked for a long time and tasted warm.
She smiled and said, “The New Year is coming soon, and the school is about to close. I always feel that this winter is not as cold as in previous years. Sister Xue asked me this morning if I wanted to go to her house for the New Year. She will go home this year. She will finally not stay with Gao Jun for a year. Chi Yan, it has always been a very difficult thing for two people be together, right?”
Chi Yan knew that he was about to die. He was always worried about what would happen to Jiang Sui if he left her life one day, and whether she would be bullied and unhappy.
But he should actually worry more about himself. What would he do if Jiang Sui left his life one day?
Having seen the most beautiful light in the world, he was afraid that once the sky darkened, the world would lose its direction.
“Yes.” It’s not easy, Sui Sui.
