Chapter 75: Not Enough
Xiao Xuanjin became interested instantly after hearing her words, his eyes lit up, "What's more exciting?"
"If you want to know, you have to let me go first."
Xiao Xuanjin really let her go.
As soon as Su Mi felt him loosen up, he immediately stepped back a few steps and asked, "Is it exciting?"
After saying that, she opened the door and ran out.
Xiao Xuanjin knew that he had been tricked, and with the tip of his tongue sticking out, he stood up and followed him out.
Su Mi was not familiar with this western-style building, and after coming out, he accidentally rushed into a room.
When I turned on the lights, I realized that this was a projection room.
Xiao Xuanjin followed her in, and when he saw her flipping through the discs, he asked with a wicked smile, "Want to watch a movie?"
"Just take a look." Su Mi lowered his head to search, then realized what Xiao Xuanjin meant, and gave him a glare.
Xiao Xuanjin didn't care at all. He sat down on the sofa with a swagger, and his words were still so frivolous, "Don't worry, I'll do whatever you want to see. It's rare that you are interested, so I'll accompany you. Who asked me to be so easy to talk to?"
Su Mi ignored his distorted words and found a suspense film to watch.
The film revolves around several serial missing persons cases.
Su Mi slowly began to look intently. Xiao Xuanjin sat next to her and occasionally took out some snacks to feed her.
"Susu."
"Um?"
Su Mi was still looking at the screen and didn't have time to glance at him.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Xuanjin could only take out the remote control and press the pause button.
Su Mi then looked at the culprit and glared at him unhappily.
Who would have thought that Xiao Xuanjin would be serious at this moment? "It's almost 12 o'clock."
Today is New Year's Eve, and twelve o'clock means the new year is coming.
Then I heard him ask, "Want to see fireworks?"
Su Mi almost nodded involuntarily.
Finally, Xiao Xuanjin brought her to the rooftop. He looked down at his watch and calculated the time.
Su Mi looked at the still quiet night sky, and his heart rarely became quiet.
Xiao Xuanjin suddenly put his arm around her shoulders, his voice full of hope for the future, but a little off-key, "Susu, I've made up my mind, how about I bear the brunt of the situation and spend New Year's Eve with you every year?"
Su Mi was stunned. If nothing unexpected happened, this would be the last one. She looked up at him. The boy's eyes were clear and bright, without any impurities. He was the most eye-catching presence in the dark night.
"Then you won't go back to be with your family?"
"That's why I feel wronged. I can just go back to see my family on New Year's Day."
Su Mi just said "oh" and that was all.
Xiao Xuanjin pinched her face and said, "Su Su... is not being honest. You haven't answered me yet."
Su Mi didn't want to lie to him anymore at this moment. After all, there was no need.
She frowned and muttered, "It hurts."
"No way, I didn't use any force." Xiao Xuanjin thought she was trying to scam him.
Su Mi covered his face and yelled, "It just hurts."
"No way." Xiao Xuanjin stretched out his hand and pinched the other side hard.
Su Mi howled on the spot, "Xiao! Xuan! Jin! Seeking! Death!"
As if he was about to hit him, Xiao Xuanjin dodged and moved back. Su Mi continued to move forward, but Xiao Xuanjin suddenly stopped and Su Mi pounced directly on him.
Just as he was about to start, Xiao Xuanjin suddenly said, "Su Su, let's start."
Su Mi only heard a "whoosh" sound that broke through the sky. Looking back, he saw a golden number exploding in the night.
The countdown to the New Year has begun.
In the distant square, people moved and gathered together, everyone was waiting for this moment.
Su Mi watched the numbers getting smaller and smaller, and cheers came from afar. When the last number was called out, countless dazzling fireworks exploded in the sky.
At the same time, Su Mi was held tightly in Xiao Xuanjin's arms, and he said softly, "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year!"
Su Mi leaned on his shoulder, feeling his body temperature through his clothes, her heart full of mixed emotions. His embrace was still as warm as ever, but she would eventually push him away. She could not cling to this warmth, and it would no longer belong to her in the future.
"Xiao Jinjin, I have thought of my first wish."
Taking advantage of the boundless enthusiasm and joyful atmosphere, she wanted to say something.
Xiao Xuanjin was obviously in a good mood. He let her go, his eyes bright, and asked expectantly, "What is your wish?"
Su Mi looked up at him, held his hand tightly, and said with a firm look, "I hope you can let go of the past and take on the responsibilities you should have taken on."
Xiao Xuanjin was stunned for a moment, then forced a hard smile, "What are you talking about? The wish is for you..."
"I mean it. That's what I want."
Xiao Xuanjin turned his face away, let go of her hand, walked to the side, and turned his back to her, his back looking bleak.
The originally good atmosphere between the two was instantly broken.
Su Mi walked over and stood beside him. "You deliberately acted like a bad boy who couldn't handle the important task because you didn't want your family to have too high hopes for you. But, have you ever thought that your evasive behavior just shows that you are timid and cowardly? Are you worthy of your grandfather who entrusted you with the important task?"
"Stop talking." Xiao Xuanjin exhaled heavily, his voice trembling a little.
Su Mi learned about Xiao Xuanjin's academic performance, which was very average. However, based on her understanding of Xiao Xuanjin, he was not unlearned. Instead, he had a thorough understanding of various knowledge.
Then there is only one reason, that he did it on purpose.
I heard from the system before that his change happened after Master Xiao passed away, which means that his heart knot is with Master Xiao.
"I've heard some stories about Mr. Xiao. He was tough, brave, and upright throughout his life. He is respected by his descendants. I think if he is still alive, he would definitely not want to see you like this."
"Xiao Xuanjin, you have to understand that your light will not disappear just because you want to hide it."
After Su Mi finished speaking, he didn't know whether Xiao Xuanjin heard him or not, but he didn't say anything anyway.
But no matter what he thought, she had to say it.
The system once said that Xiao Xuanjin's current personality was due to his smooth sailing since childhood, but she didn't think so.
That time, on the anniversary of Grandpa Xiao's death, Su Mi saw the hidden pain in his heart. The contrast between him and his past was enough to show that his change was due to the death of Grandpa Xiao.
Since she was about to leave, she naturally had to achieve the purpose stated by the system and work hard to get Xiao Xuanjin back on the right track.
His current behavior of escaping from reality is not advisable.
As long as he is willing to stop escaping from now on, face the past calmly, and shoulder the responsibilities and burdens that belong to him, Su Mi's trip will be successful.
She reached out and tugged at his sleeve, and softened her voice, "You said you would help me realize my wish."
This time, Xiao Xuanjin did not agree to her directly, nor was he as easy to talk to as before. He turned and left.
Su Mi knew that he needed time and did not push him any further.
I looked back at the evening night which was beginning to return to silence and sighed deeply.
She returned to the room and Xiao Xuanjin was not there.
Finally she sat on the sofa and waited, thinking that he would come back eventually.
As a result, I waited so long that I fell asleep in a daze.
When Xiao Xuanjin came back, Su Mi was sleeping soundly on the sofa with his head tilted.
He walked over, picked her up and carried her to the bed.
Looking at her cute and adorable appearance in her sleep, he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her on the mouth again and again.
I feel like I can never kiss enough.
After a while, he reluctantly left, looking at her soft and delicate lips, his voice hoarse, "Now that you are tolerant, you are even more courageous and dare to say anything."
