Chapter 83 Farewell

Su Mi thought about how she had exposed her unfamiliarity with the kitchen last time, and knew he was teasing her, so she deliberately said, "I think you just feel sorry for the house."

"Yeah, I feel bad. Without this house, I can't cook this meal for you."

Xiao Xuanjin brought out the food while speaking, "Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"Oh." Su Mi went to wash his hands obediently.

When I came out, the dishes were already on the table.

Two servings of tomato and chicken risotto, seafood chowder, vegetable salad, a fruit platter with peaches and mangoes, and two glasses of juice.

Xiao Xuanjin sat at the table waiting for her.

Su Mi pulled out a stool and sat down, looking down at the tempting food, "Xiao Jinjin, your cooking skills are quite good."

"Of course. Do you feel like you've found a treasure?"

"Yes, very much."

Su Mi was generous in his praise and coaxed Xiao Xuanjin into submission before he lowered his head to eat.

Xiao Xuanjin took the initiative to talk to her, "Su Su, I'm leaving tomorrow. If you have any difficulties during this period, please go to him."

As he spoke, Su Mi saw him push over a business card with contact information on it.

"Who is this?"

"You can use my people with confidence."

"oh."

Su Mi didn't think much about it. She just felt that nothing would happen, and even if something happened, she had the ability to protect herself.

After dinner, Su Mi sat for a while and then prepared to go back to school for class.

But she didn't expect that Xiao Xuanjin had also changed his clothes and wanted to go out with her.

"You...are going to school too?"

"Well, I'll be with you today."

He kept his word and went with her to attend another freshman class.

Undoubtedly, it caused quite a stir.

The two of them were used to everyone's gazes.

Su Mi asked curiously, "Do you have no classes in your junior year?"

"Yes, there is a class later. You can go with me."

And then, the two of them stayed together for the entire afternoon.

In a junior class, Su Mi saw his acquaintances He Fei and Wen Kai, as well as Fang Yutong.

At first she thought they would make fun of her.

Fortunately, Xiao Xuanjin avoided them directly and did not go there. He pulled her to choose a seat on the other side of the classroom.

Su Mi vaguely felt that Xiao Xuanjin probably wanted to spend more time together with them before leaving.

We've been apart for short periods of time before, but I've never seen him act like this.

When it was dusk, the two of them came out of the classroom.

Su Mi's hand was held tightly by Xiao Xuanjin, and they walked all the way to the arch bridge on the campus. The bridge spanned a clear stream, and the ancient brick texture seemed to tell the story of the past.

The afterglow of the setting sun, at the end of the day, is like the prelude to a leisurely nocturne. Above the blue sky, the sunset glow is like a lively musical score, playing a carnival of colors.

What is left behind is endless reverie and nostalgia.

"Susu."

"Hmm?" Su Mi raised his eyes to look at him. The boy's features looked even more elegant under the golden sunlight.

"It's strange, but I don't know why this time, I always have a feeling of uneasiness in my heart."

Su Mi thought of the business card he gave him, and it turned out to be for this reason.

He was worried that something might happen to her.

In fact, she was also a little anxious, but unlike Xiao Xuanjin, she knew the reason...

"Did you not get enough rest? Don't think too much. It's okay. I will wait for you to come back."

Xiao Xuanjin hugged her into his arms and whispered, "I really want to put you in my pocket and take you away."

Su Mi leaned her head against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about? I'm not your doll."

"Susu...I have always wanted to ask you a question."

"What?"

Xiao Xuanjin exhaled lightly, "Are you...hiding something else from me?"

Even now he still had many doubts in his mind. He knew he could have checked it out, but he didn't.

After finding out that she was holding fake photos, he could easily follow the clues to find out everything he wanted to know.

But thinking back to that day in the car, she kept saying that he didn't respect her and was checking her privacy. Although she said that on purpose, he still listened to her.

If they really investigate, wouldn't it confirm the crime she had brought against him?

He felt that couples should not keep secrets from each other, so why not just ask her directly?

After hearing what he said, Su Mi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he knew something?

Then I thought about it... He is so smart that he always finds something wrong.

But no matter what, now is not the time to reveal your cards. "How could that be? Even if there is, it's because I think it's not the right time to say it. Can you... give me some time?"

"Okay." Xiao Xuanjin touched her head, "Su Su, I believe you."

Su Mi swallowed hard and sighed in his heart.

Xiao Xuanjin loosened her arms a little, then bent down and kissed her forehead, and was reluctant to let go for a long time.

"Wait for me to come back." His eyes were full of affection, and he stared at her deeply, as if he wanted to carve her appearance into his heart.

"Um."

"Then I'm leaving."

"Um."

The young man's back is particularly eye-catching under the caress of the sunset. The orange-red light sets off his tall figure, which looks resolute and noble. Behind him is the flaming sunset glow, and the splendor and colors of the world enhance his beauty.

A gentle breeze blew by, confusing Su Mi's mind and blowing away the color of the sky.

When I came back to my senses from a trance, dusk had fallen and Xiao Xuanjin had been gone for a long time.

It’s time to wake up…

*

In January in Hwaseong, on a night of ice and snow, the biting cold wind was like a merciless whip, ruthlessly cutting across the face and piercing the bone marrow. Wherever it passed, everything shrank and trembled under its tyranny.

A few girls, wrapped up tightly like dumplings, trotted back to the dormitory after eating outside the school.

When we finally entered the building, we started to chatter, "Winter break is coming soon, how are you preparing for the final exams?"

"Don't mention it. We've been studying lately in the dormitory."

"It's the same in our dormitory. Everyone is nervous recently. Even those who usually like to go out on dates have stopped going out."

"Forget it, I won't talk about it anymore. I have to go back and ask for forgiveness."

As the winter vacation approaches, the school is filled with a tense yet positive learning atmosphere.

At this time, Su Mi was also reading and taking notes under the desk lamp. She wrote seriously, and the tip of her pen made a rustling sound on the paper.

Fang Yutong has already made coffee and plans to stay up a little longer in the evening.

After Liao Qian came back from taking care of Wu Cheng, she immediately joined the camp.

Su Mi was concentrating on writing until her cell phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw it was Xiao Xuanjin.

It has been seven days since he left. According to the date he set for his return, which was his birthday party, there are only two days left.

Su Mi picked up the phone. "Hello?"

As she spoke, she was still flipping through the book.

Xiao Xuanjin heard the rustling sound of her flipping through the pages of a book and asked, "Are you still reading?"

"Yeah, I want to review it a little more."

"So hard-working?"

"Of course." Actually, it didn't matter much whether she studied or not, since this identity would have nothing to do with her in the future anyway. But she didn't want to waste her time and believed that learning was endless.

"Well, I won't bother you. I'm calling just to tell you that Grandpa is doing relatively well here. I'll be back on a flight tomorrow."
