Jiang Qiuxu was just an ordinary high school student: excellent grades, severe myopia, a never-changing bob haircut with black-rimmed glasses, and an introverted, dull persona in public.
Asid...
Chapter 52
"Thank you, but I'm a little anxious and have to leave first." Jiang Qiuxu didn't know why she met Xie Yusheng here, but she didn't want to talk to Xie Yusheng now. She needed time to think.
Seeing Jiang Qiuxu was about to leave, Xie Yusheng finally made up his mind and spoke: "Wait, I... I have something I want to show you. It's that novel from before. Do you still want to read it? I can do it right now..." To be honest, Jiang Qiuxu definitely wanted to read it, but she didn't understand why Xie Yusheng brought it up at this moment. How important was this novel that he would bring it up at this moment? However, Jiang Qiuxu didn't want to talk about this right now, so she immediately interrupted Xie Yusheng.
"Forget it, I really don't have time now." Jiang Qiuxu said, and without staying there, he rushed out of the school to find Du Xiwei.
Arriving at the appointed restaurant, Jiang Qiuxu sat down in front of Du Xiwei, only to notice that her friend's expression seemed off. Du Xiwei then asked, "Do you know which university Xie Yusheng is currently attending?"
Jiang Qiuxu didn't feel good, but she still answered Du Xiwei's question honestly: "I just met him. I guess he came to Agricultural University like me." Du Xiwei whispered, "As expected," and then sent a novel to Jiang Qiuxu.
"The Long Night? Why does it have the same name as Xie Yusheng's novel? And it's on the top ten of the new literature list? Why did you send this to me?" Jiang Qiuxu was very curious about Xie Yusheng's novel at the time, but she only got the name from Wu Lin after much effort, so she was very puzzled as to why Du Xiwei sent her this novel.
Unexpectedly, Du Xiwei turned around and asked her something else: "You told me before that you couldn't figure out your feelings for Xie Yusheng. At that time, we were in our third year of high school, and I didn't want this matter to affect the rest of us, so I didn't drag you into the discussion. But now, I have to ask you seriously, what is your feeling towards him?"
Jiang Qiuxu didn't expect Du Xiwei to ask this out of the blue. Surprise filled her face. Then, she looked down at the glass of lemonade in her hand. After a moment of silence, she finally told Du Xiwei everything she was thinking. "I originally thought that after leaving high school, I would care less about him. But today, when I saw Xie Yusheng again and heard you mention him, I realized that I still care about him very much and can't let him go. I just didn't want to face it, so I never showed it."
After Jiang Qiuxu finished speaking, he saw Du Xiwei holding his forehead and sighing, saying, "I understand. Let's eat first and not talk about this anymore. But you must read that novel tonight. After you finish reading it, you will understand why I didn't let you read it now."
Jiang Qiuxu was already curious, but she also knew that the main purpose of their gathering was to eat something delicious and chat, so they had to eat first, so how could they read a novel first? Jiang Qiuxu suppressed her curiosity and focused on the meal. She and Du Xiwei ordered their favorite food, and then they chatted about the new school and the new environment while waiting for the food.
After finishing the meal, the two said goodbye to each other. Jiang Qiuxu walked on the way back to school, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. She thought of the novel that Du Xiwei mentioned to her.
"The Long Night"...what kind of novel is it?
