Chu Chu left in a hurry and didn't bring any tissues.
Ning Jinyu had nothing on her to wipe her tears.
He thought for a moment, glanced at the long sleeves of his hoodie, and pondered:
"...No, I just bought these new clothes for Chinese New Year."
Chu Chu:! !
She kicked Ning Jinyu in the shin with a slap, then snorted loudly.
Through her teary eyes, she stared at Ning Jinyu's calm and composed face.
Unlike her, who was in tears, Ning Jinyu didn't show much emotion.
Even when he apologized to Chu Chu, he was so quiet that he seemed to be in a daze.
"idiot."
Chu Chu cursed, paused, and then said, "Is it alright for you to come to Jiangnan... what about the school?"
"School just started, and classes haven't fully commenced yet," Ning Jinyu said. "I just need to go back before Monday."
How much is the plane ticket?
"five hundred."
Where did you get the money?
"I worked during winter break at a toy factory."
Ning Jinyu's words made Chu Chu pause slightly, and she looked at the boy's hand again.
Ning Jinyu was not from a wealthy family, so there was no such thing as someone who never lifted a finger.
But she had never heard of him having any experience working.
Perhaps because of his excellent grades, his family hoped that he could focus his attention on his studies.
Unexpectedly, during his first winter break at Zhengsen University, he went to work as an assembly line worker in a factory.
Those hands, which should have been used to heal patients in the future, were used for her…
Chu Chu frowned, feeling a pang of sympathy: "You must be very tired?"
Ning Jinyu shook her head: "It's alright, it was worth it."
Chu Chu couldn't help but smile, and Ning Jinyu added, "I bought a new phone, a Redmi Note—"
Chu Chu frowned even more: "Hand...phone?"
Ning Jinyu hummed in agreement: "My phone is really old, it freezes even when I use WeChat, finally I can—"
"You just want to get a new phone?!" Chu Chu said sharply.
Ning Jinyu seemed not to understand: "...Huh?"
It might seem shameless for her to say it herself, but Chu Chu knew that if she didn't bring it up, this scoundrel in front of her would probably never understand the implication of her words.
So, Chu Chu gritted her teeth and shamelessly asked, "No, it's not because of me...?"
Ning Jinyu calmly hummed in agreement.
Chu Chu:…
"Go back to Guangzhou, you son of a bitch!!"
Ning Jinyu exclaimed "Ah!" again, and after thinking for a moment, it seemed as if she finally understood what the girl in front of her was angry about: "But when I went to work, I didn't plan to fly to Jiangnan."
Chu Chu:......
And they're so self-righteous!? Wow...
“I thought I could find you at your house,” Ning Jinyu said.
Chu Chu:…………
She stopped crying and continued listening to Ning Jinyu quietly say:
"I originally wanted to buy the Pro+ 16GB+512GB version, which was a bit expensive, but I felt it would last a long time. In the end, I bought the Pro 12GB+256GB version, saving 600 yuan. With some of my savings, I wanted to use it to go out with you and buy you a gift. But I don't know what to buy, and if I buy the wrong one, you won't like it, so I'm planning to keep it for now and decide when we meet..."
The boy's voice was neither hurried nor slow.
I couldn't detect any pitiful emotion in my voice.
But Chu Chu, who was listening to him speak, covered her mouth, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
—But she didn't let the boy in at all, just like those wicked women in stories.
Ning Jinyu continued, "But your dad said you weren't home, though I know you are—"
Chu Chu's heart skipped a beat again.
She also deceived the boy with the most vicious lies.
“Your dad is really scary. I was afraid he would beat me up, so I left quickly,” Ning Jinyu said again.
Chu Chu:…
She instantly swallowed back the tears that were about to spill over:
"...No, you... huh?"
Ning Jinyu: "Huh?"
Isn't it supposed to be a disappointing return? After hearing that she has a tall and handsome new boyfriend, she'll be heartbroken and leave dejected—that's the kind of story Chu Chu thinks should be!
"Don't you feel even the slightest bit moved?!" Chu Chu asked.
Ning Jinyu thought for a moment and said, "Yes."
"and you?"
“When your dad told me you had a tall and handsome new boyfriend, Bengbu Zhu almost laughed—but after I found out, he got angry and embarrassed. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been so scared,” Ning Jinyu said.
Chu Chu:…………
father!
You, me...him? ? Huh? ? ?
Ning Jinyu added, "After I got home, I thought about it for a while and realized there were still some things I wanted to make clear to you. Luckily, I still had some money left from my part-time job, so I booked a plane ticket to come over. I felt that it would be better to apologize with a gift, but I can't afford one."
When Ning Jinyu said this, she sounded somewhat remorseful.
He said softly, "I should have known better than to buy a cell phone."
Chu Chu didn't know what to say.
I was both angry and heartbroken for her.
Chu Chu thought for a moment, then vigorously wiped her smeared face and asked softly:
Are you no longer angry with me?
Ning Jinyu shook her head: "It was my fault to begin with. If only I had spoken properly back then..."
Chu Chu interrupted, "Putting aside who's right and who's wrong, I've actually stopped being angry with you a long time ago... It's good that you're not angry with me anymore, so, so you..."
She looked at the boy in front of her, her gaze lowered slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but hesitated and stopped.
Ning Jinyu couldn't understand the girl's micro-expressions.
He asked in surprise, "Hmm?"
