Cao Bing looked at Su Xiao with a dejected expression, and forced a smile, "I understand."
He stood up, turned around, and left the kitchen.
Back in his room, after closing the door, Cao Bing slumped against it and slumped to the floor, hugging his knees and burying his head in his hands.
He sat there quietly for a long time without moving.
The room was quiet. Suddenly, a soft sigh escaped from inside, "Xiaoxiao, will I ever find you again...?"
The girl who would smile shyly at him is truly gone.
Since they had decided to go home for the Chinese New Year, they wrote applications, and Zhao Xi readily granted them leave for half a month.
The snow was still falling. Su Xiao calculated the days and planned to go back on the 20th after the snow stopped, and then come back on the 5th of next year.
After his conversation with Cao Bing, he continued to take care of her silently as always, but he became even more silent.
Su Xiao tried several times to break the awkward silence, opening her mouth but not knowing what to say.
Their relationship was ambiguous; they seemed to have said nothing, yet it felt like everything had been said. (Reading...)
I'm sorry, she's not the original owner of this body, so I can't reciprocate her feelings and can only let her down.
The snow fell heavily, covering the world in white, and this continued for three days.
Once the snow has mostly melted, it will be time for them to set off.
When she was wearing heavy cotton-padded clothes and trousers and it was difficult to walk, Su Xiao really missed the light thermal underwear and down jacket she wore in her previous life.
Perhaps she could secretly pluck some duck and goose down from the farm and make herself a suit?
Well, we'll put it on the agenda once she gets back.
Back in Nancheng by train, the group felt somewhat dazed.
"Well then, we'll be going now. Goodbye." Su Xiao waved goodbye to Cao Bing.
"Cao Bing, I wish you a Happy New Year in advance, see you next year!" Huang Feiyan also said goodbye with a smile.
"Okay, goodbye." Cao Bing gave Su Xiao a deep look, said goodbye to the two of them, and turned to leave.
Su Xiao guessed that she probably wouldn't see him again next year.
"Let's go." Su Xiao wasn't sad at all; instead, she felt quite relaxed. She pulled Huang Feiyan along, walking briskly towards the bus station, and asked again, "Are you really not going home?"
Huang Feiyan's smile visibly vanished. "Do you think I should go back?"
Su Xiao said, "Go back and talk to your parents again. I'll wait for you at your door. If it doesn't work out, I'll take you home."
Huang Feiyan tightened her grip on Su Xiao's arm. "Okay."
Today is Sunday, and Da'an Hutong is bustling with activity. With the Lunar New Year approaching, everyone is busy making preparations for the new year.
"Oh, Huang family girl, Su family girl, you're back!" The old lady next door was overjoyed to see the two of them and shouted to the Huang family, "Su Fen, your girl is back!"
“What do you mean, ‘my daughter’? I don’t have a daughter, I only have a son.” Huang’s mother’s voice came from inside the house, so resolute.
Huang Feiyan's eyes instantly reddened upon hearing this. Although she had been mentally prepared to go home, she had not expected to see this scene.
The old lady next door seemed to know about the Huang family's affairs, and smiled apologetically at Su Xiao and Huang Feiyan.
Su Xiao frowned slightly, gently squeezed her palm, and encouraged her, "Go in and take a look. Maybe your mother was just saying it in anger."
Huang Feiyan shook Su Xiao's hand and nodded.
She took a deep breath, encouraged herself, and then strode inside, saying, "Mom, I'm home..."
