Chapter 36 Afraid to Face
the next day.
It happens that I don’t have classes on the weekend.
After Su Mi got up, she stood in front of the mirror and began to change her clothes and do her hair.
I took a look at the couple's shirts I asked the system for yesterday. The words on them were so embarrassing.
She decided to wear the shirt inside and put on a thin brown knitted cardigan on the outside.
She wore a plaid miniskirt underneath, and because she was afraid of the cold, Su Mi also wore leg socks underneath.
She pulled a small part of her hair out on both sides, tied it into two scorpion braids, and tucked them behind her ears.
Looking in the mirror, the princess hairstyle made her look particularly sweet and gentle today. But if you look closely at the upturned curve of her almond-shaped eyes, she still has a unique charm.
After getting ready, she opened her phone and saw the last message she sent. Xiao Xuanjin did not reply.
I don’t know if he will break his promise today.
Su Mi wasn't sure what he was thinking, but she was definitely going to wait.
What if... he comes?
He is different now than before.
After checking the time, Su Mi put his clothes into her bag and went out with it.
She walked directly to the school gate and stood next to a stone pillar at the entrance to wait.
Some boys recognized her and came over to chat with her, but she politely declined them all.
My eyes were fixed on the direction the vehicle was coming from, but I didn't see the familiar blue sports car.
I looked down at the time and saw it was already two o'clock. I thought there was no rush and decided to wait a little longer.
After waiting for an hour, the person still didn't come.
Su Mi stared at the direction of the road without blinking, feeling a little numb. All the expectations and fantasies in his heart were shattered.
Countless voices in her heart told her that Xiao Xuanjin would not come, so she should stop waiting.
It seemed that he had never agreed to her from the beginning to the end. It was just her wishful thinking.
Yes, maybe she was too optimistic, which was why she felt that Xiao Xuanjin treated her differently now.
Looking at the students coming and going, in and out, Su Mi laughed at himself and walked along the path beside him.
There are maple trees on both sides of the road. It is the golden autumn season, and the ground is covered with golden fallen leaves. Every step you take, you can hear the leaves squeaking, like the sound of painful wails.
Before my eyes are fallen leaves accompanied by the cold wind, rustling and spinning in the air but reluctantly falling to the ground, only to be trampled into the mud by people coming and going and return to dust.
Su Mi looked up as he walked, and couldn't help but reach out to pick up a leaf and play with it on his fingertips.
The mood is low and gloomy.
…
Xiao Xuanjin did not show up at school for the next few days.
Su Mi sent him a message, but he didn't reply.
After asking around, I found out that he had gone abroad for something and had asked for leave from school.
Su Mi knew that Xiao Xuanjin had unilaterally pressed the pause button on their relationship.
He had clearly given her vague yet intuitive hints before.
When she thought they could move their relationship forward and was ready to take action, his direct action gave her a loud warning.
Su Mi accepted everything he gave her calmly, but she didn't intend to give in.
Even if she dies, she must die with a clear understanding and must get everything clear.
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Like other students in the college, Su Mi attended classes and studied as usual.
That day, when she came out of the library, it was already night outside.
As she came down the circular staircase from the high place, she heard several girls passing by talking.
"Have you heard? Xiao Nanshen is back to school."
"When did it happen?"
"I just saw his car parked at the school today."
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen him come to class for a long time."
The two people walked further and further away. Su Mi paused for a moment and walked towards the girls' dormitory.
When I returned to the dormitory, they had not come back yet.
After turning on the light, Su Mi put the book on the table, sat on the chair, and adjusted his mood.
The only sentence that kept repeating in my mind was, He's back.
As time went by, she didn't even know how to ask him why he didn't come that day.
In other words, her original arrogance and emotions have been smoothed over time, and she herself has forgotten how angry and depressed she was at that time.
She had been calm for so long that there was not even a ripple in her heart.
She thought, time is indeed a good thing.
During this period of time, she has been constantly paralyzing herself, and the hope in her heart has become increasingly slim. Unconsciously, her self-protection consciousness has been activated, and she has begun to be afraid to face it.
I am afraid that I will soon face the final death penalty.
Thinking of this, she opened a professional book and read it, lowered her head, forcing herself to concentrate and not think about anything else.
Until the cell phone rang, the originally quiet environment was disturbed by the sound.
Su Mi raised his head and waited for the ringtone to ring for a long time before he realized what was going on and picked up the phone.
Pick up, "Hello."
"Mi'er, where are you? Come out and play. Guess who's back?"
It was Fang Yutong's voice on the other end of the phone, and the background noise sounded like that of a bar, a bit noisy.
Su Mi knew who she was talking about, but she was afraid to face that person now, afraid that the person would reject her directly, afraid that all her hopes would be shattered.
"I'm not going. You guys go have fun."
Fang Yutong continued to ask her, "Are you really not coming? I'm telling you, Brother Xiao is back, are you sure you won't come?"
Su Mi pursed her lips and said, "No, you guys have fun."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
In order to avoid being affected further, she turned off her phone.
She read for a while, but couldn't concentrate. Finally, she took a shower, climbed into bed, and fell asleep.
Surprisingly, she fell asleep quickly and slept soundly.
She didn't even know when Fang Yutong and the others came back.
Wait until you wake up the next day.
It's already bright outside.
Su Mi stayed in bed and didn't get up because she had classes in the afternoon.
I turned over, picked up my phone, and tried to turn it on, but there was no response after a long time.
Then I remembered to charge my phone.
Seeing that she was awake, Liao Qian, who was still in the dormitory, was about to go out and asked her, "Do you want to go eat together?"
"No, I'm not hungry yet."
Su Mi always felt lazy today and didn't want to move.
"Then... I'll be leaving first."
"Um."
After Liao Qian left, Su Mi lay on the bed, changed his position, and fell asleep again while hugging the quilt.
When I woke up again, the dormitory was noisy.
"You go and shout."
"you go."
Su Mi opened the curtain, looking sleepy, "What are you arguing about?"
Fang Yutong asked, "Mi'er, don't you have classes today?"
"It's afternoon, still early."
Liao Qian looked at her watch and said, "It's already one o'clock. Do you want to come down and have something to eat? It'll be just in time for class after you finish eating."
As he spoke, Su Mi saw that Liao Qian had a packed meal in her hand, and the aroma of the meal was already wafting into his nose.
Su Mi has a keen sense of smell. "Did you buy it for me?"
"yes."
Su Mi climbed down quickly and ran over to take a look. There were crispy spare ribs, boiled shrimps and sweet and sour fish, which were very nutritious.
"How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."
Liao Qian smiled and said, "No need, just eat it."
Su Mi was about to go wash up when she heard Fang Yutong ask her, "Baby, where's your phone?"
"Uh, it's charging."
