Chapter 46 Stupid or Not
Su Mi happily raised his hands to catch the snowflakes, but unfortunately, they melted after staying on his fingertips for a moment.
Even so, it is already very rare for her, who has lived in a place with warm winters for a long time.
She turned her head to look at Xiao Xuanjin beside her, but found that he was staring at the snow in a trance, with darkness in his eyes, like the pitch-black twilight.
Thinking that his grandfather's death anniversary is approaching, could it be that he misses his grandfather?
Thinking of this, Su Mi opened his hands and reached out to catch the snow.
When I felt snowflakes falling in my palms, I held them in front of Xiao Xuanjin.
"Xiao Jinjin, look, what is this?"
Xiao Xuanjin glanced at the snowflakes and watermarks on her palms and asked in a low voice, "What?"
Su Mi raised her lips, her eyebrows curved, and her smile was as bright as the clouds. "This is frost, or it can be a cold and cold blade, but now it has been melted by me."
The warm light from the terrace shone on her, and her beautiful face was covered with a gorgeous color. Everything around her was eclipsed and no longer had any luster. The only thing in sight was her holding the snowflakes that had melted into water stains.
Her smiling face was reflected in Xiao Xuanjin's eyes, and light came quietly. He laughed, "Are you stupid?"
After saying this, he wrapped his big hand around hers and passed the warmth of his palm to her.
Su Mi's icy little hands were quickly warmed up by him.
I could still hear Fang Yutong directing He Fei to build a snowman with her.
There was also Liao Qian, drinking wine and chatting with Wu Cheng and Wen Kai on friendly terms.
Su Mi looked into the distance. In just a moment, the city was already covered in a layer of white. The world seemed to have gone quiet, dressed in silver.
…
When the party was over, everyone was drunk and the driver drove them back to school.
After getting off the car, Liao Qian and Fang Yutong walked away supporting each other, muttering to themselves that they must build a snowman tomorrow.
Several boys also went back to the boys' dormitory together.
Xiao Xuanjin and Su Mi stood in front of the car, snowflakes flying between them, some falling on their shoulders and some getting stuck in their hair.
Xiao Xuanjin stood in the snow in a black leather trench coat, his deep eyes reflecting the falling snowflakes.
Su Mi stared at him and saw tiny crystal snowflakes clinging to his dark eyelashes.
He blinked his eyes slightly, and the snowflakes trembled slightly, but refused to leave at all, as if they were addicted to the warmth of his eyelashes.
She raised her hand to touch him, but she only felt his eyelashes gently scraping against her fingertips, like a feather brushing gently, itchy.
Xiao Xuanjin grabbed her messy hand and asked, "Why don't you go back?"
"I..." Su Mi knew that he was not planning to go back to the dormitory, and he would not come to school in the next few days.
"Go back quickly, I won't go in." Xiao Xuanjin was already urging her.
Su Mi still remembered what the system said, and now he wanted to try his best.
He raised his head and asked cautiously, "How about you leave tomorrow?"
His pupils were so dark that it was hard to tell what he was feeling. "Be good, go back."
There is absolutely no room for negotiation.
Su Mi knew that he must be feeling bad, so she held his hand tightly and said, "You didn't come for so long, I just wanted to stay with you for a while longer."
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely make some jokes about how reluctant I was to let him go.
But today, he was serious, "Message me when you miss me."
Su Wei bravely asked, "Can I come find you?"
"cannot."
Being rejected again, Su Mi did not give up. "Then I won't look for you, but I need to know your whereabouts. You can't refuse to agree to such a request, right?"
This time Xiao Xuanjin thought for a moment and said, "It's very cold. Let's go back quickly."
Is this a promise or not?
Before Su Mi wanted to say something, Xiao Xuanjin had already let go of her hand, turned around and opened the car door. His leather coat was blown backwards by the wind, making a slight rustling sound, like wings fluttering in the dark, fanning his determination and resoluteness.
Su Mi stood there and looked at him.
Xiao Xuanjin turned around and saw that she hadn't left yet, "Huh? You're not coming back yet?"
Su Mi went up to him and grabbed his sleeve, looking at him with wet eyes, "You haven't promised me yet."
Xiao Xuanjin looked down and saw her small, pale pink thumbs pulling out wrinkles on his clothes, like a steep hillside, rugged and yet endless.
In the end, he compromised and left a message, "Remember to pay attention to your phone messages."
Then he got in the car and drove away.
Su Mi stood there and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, as long as he promised to report his whereabouts, she would be able to go there reasonably then.
Otherwise, if she continued to follow the system's instructions, she would not be able to explain how she knew his whereabouts.
She turned and walked back, her boots crunching in the snow.
After taking a few steps, I saw someone coming from a distance.
When he got closer, Su Mi could see clearly that it was Gu Muqing.
"Brother Mu Qing."
He was wearing a light brown coat and a checkered scarf, and he walked slowly over to me on the snow. "Qingqing, I saw someone who looked like you from a distance, so I came over."
"What a coincidence, Brother Mu Qing, are you back from outside too?"
"Yes, go out and buy food."
As he spoke, he raised his hand's pocket. Su Mi leaned over to take a look, and it turned out to be her favorite blueberry puff tower.
"Why did you suddenly buy this?"
"I bought it for you." Gu Mucheng answered very naturally, as if he was already used to such things.
"I?"
"Well, my dear, since you were little, I know best what you like to eat."
Su Mi remembered that when she was very young, Gu Mucheng would often bring delicious food to her.
At that time, the relationship between their families was good, so they were close. She basically accepted it calmly. If it was delicious, she would praise it a few words. If it was not delicious, she would just take a bite and leave it there.
Gu Mucheng didn't care about her attitude. Whenever he saw something new, he would still tirelessly give it to her.
So, she gradually developed the habit.
"Thank you, Brother Mu Qing."
"Don't be polite, let's go, it's late, we should go back."
The two of them walked towards the dormitory together.
Along the way, two rows of neat yet winding footprints were left behind them, but they were soon covered by the falling snow, leaving no trace.
"Brother Mu Qing, today is the first snow of winter."
"Yes, I still remember that you always said you wanted to see the snow. This time, you finally got to see it. Are you happy?"
Su Mi looked up at the snowflakes still falling in the sky and said, "Happy, but also unhappy."
Gu Muqing followed her steps. She walked very slowly. He turned his head slightly and saw tiny snowflakes on her hair. They looked like crystal clear stars embellishing her agility and beauty.
He asked patiently, "What's up with you? Tell your brother Mu Qing, maybe I can help."
Su Mi pursed her lips, not hiding the fact that she had always considered Gu Muqing as her own, "This is not Jiangcheng after all."
