Chapter 161 Farewell at Station 161
Su Xiao left with a large backpack on her back, locking the door behind her. It wasn't to prevent thieves, because there weren't many things inside. She had habitually put all her belongings into her spatial storage and taken them with her.
As soon as she stepped into the front yard, she saw Shang Ziming standing by the pavilion waiting for her.
Upon seeing her, he immediately stepped forward and reached her in just a few steps, reaching out to take her backpack. "I'll take it."
His throat has improved a lot after this period of treatment. He speaks more slowly and doesn't cough like before. I believe he will recover soon.
Su Xiao didn't argue with him and obediently handed him the bag.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the station." He slung his backpack over his shoulder and turned to walk towards the gate.
It was time to go to work, and the two walked in silence, one after the other, without encountering a single person as they passed through the village.
We arrived smoothly at the village committee compound, where the tractor was already waiting, and it was the same old man again.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry to trouble you again." Su Xiao greeted him with a smile, took a handful of fruit candies from her pocket and stuffed them into the old man's hand. She knew that the old man had a large family, including many children.
"No trouble at all, it's all for the people." The old man smiled, revealing his large, yellowed teeth and deeply lined face. "Little girl, Old Zhao said you went back to take your high school graduation exam?"
"Yes," Su Xiao answered the old man's question while taking Shang Ziming's hand to get into the car.
With a clattering sound, the car started moving, and the old man's happy voice mingled in the noise, "Studying is good, studying leads to a bright future, what a pity..."
What a pity! Those unspoken words are a regret for so many.
Su Xiao's train ticket was for 9 a.m., and they had half an hour to wait for them. In the waiting hall, Su Xiao sat obediently, while Shang Ziming sat to the side, seemingly a little restless, sitting for a while, standing for a while, and walking around for a while.
Su Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and looked up, saying, "Why don't you go back first? I don't have much stuff, I can get on the bus by myself in a bit."
Shang Ziming stopped, turned around, and stared at her with deep, unfathomable eyes.
Su Xiao refused to back down, meeting his gaze without flinching. She wasn't wrong; she had already said she didn't need anyone to take her, but he just wouldn't listen, he was incredibly stubborn.
"Oh."
After a long while, Shang Zimu chuckled softly.
"What are you laughing at?" Su Xiao frowned.
"I thought you were planning to ignore me forever." Shang Ziming looked at her with bright, passionate eyes.
Su Xiao lowered her eyes. "I didn't."
She didn't ignore him, but sometimes she really didn't know how to face him.
“You do,” Shang Ziming said plaintively, “like now, you’re not even looking at me when you talk to me.”
Su Xiao felt a little irritated. Here it comes again. Helplessly, she looked up, and their eyes met. Su Xiao's heart skipped a beat. It was that look again, deep and resentful, like a magnet that could draw people's souls in.
Su Xiao was defeated. Helplessly, she turned her gaze away and looked in the direction of the oncoming car, muttering, "Why isn't the car here yet? Will it be late?"
Shang Ziming also looked into the distance, his gaze deep and his tone slightly powerless, "It's still early. Xiaoxiao, when are you coming back? I'll come pick you up."
Zhao Xi gave her a fifteen-day leave, but she really didn't know when she would come back.
So Su Xiao honestly shook her head, "I don't know, we'll see. You don't need to pick me up, I'm not a child anymore, and it's not a long way."
As expected, I did not get a definite answer.
