Chapter 119: I Don’t Owe Them Anymore
"I have something to give you!" Su Yi smiled gently, and his tone was also very gentle.
"Fifth brother, come in and talk!" Su Wan moved aside to let him in.
After closing the door, Su Yi sat down at the table, took out the small white porcelain box hidden in his sleeve and placed it on the table.
"What is this?" Su Wan was a little curious.
The porcelain box is very delicate, white, and has a plum blossom painted on it.
"You'll know when you open it."
The first time Su Yi gave a gift, he blushed, afraid that Su Wan wouldn't like it. His brotherly love for Su Wan was very real now.
He felt that Su Wan had given a lot to the Su family without any regrets, so he should treat her well.
Su Wan opened the box and found lip balm inside, but it was pink, a very deathly color. However, Su Wan was still very happy after receiving it.
"I looked around and felt that this color was more beautiful. It's pink and tender, and very suitable for your age." Su Yi explained.
This lip balm was bought in a reputable cosmetics shop, and cost him nearly two taels. When he bought it, he thought it looked better. What a straight man.
This guy bought up the unsaleable goods in the cosmetics shop. Most girls couldn't handle this color, so no one bought it. He saw it even though it was placed in the corner.
"It looks good, I like it!" Su Wan dipped his finger in it and put it on his mouth.
If she wasn't fair enough and had a good-looking face, she really wouldn't be able to hold it.
After applying it on the lips, you can still see whether it looks good or not, whether it is stunning or not. Su Yi thinks it does not look good and does not suit her very well, but she still looks like she likes it very much, which is really giving her face.
"Wanwan, do you want to look at yourself in the mirror? If you don't like it, I can buy you a new one!" He himself felt that it didn't look good.
The voice gradually faded away.
"No need to look, as long as it's given by Fifth Brother, I like it!"
Su Wan’s main point is to give face. It’s good enough to have it. It’s a thoughtful gesture, which is better than nothing.
In fact, after so long, she is not as afraid of her ending in the book as she was at the beginning. You have to make your own way. As long as you don't do evil, even the law can't check you. Why should others criticize you?
Just have a clear conscience.
Su Yi nodded and smiled knowingly. After staying for a while, he left. Jiang happened to meet Su Wan at the door of her room. He stood at the door and smiled at Su Wan, tilted his head, and motioned Su Wan to come out.
Su Wan came out, and she happened to have something to say to him.
"Chat?" Jiang Yu smiled charmingly.
Su Wan nodded, and then Jiang Yu took her to a place. It turned out that there was another floor above the Yueman West Building. There was a secret door and a staircase leading upstairs, about seven or eight meters high. After going up, there was a terrace pavilion. Standing on it, you could overlook part of the buildings and streets of Xiangzhou Prefecture.
It's really stunning and beautiful.
Jiang Yu lit a charcoal fire in the pavilion. Tea was brewing on the table, the aroma was everywhere, and there were some exquisite snacks on the table. He seemed to know how to enjoy life.
Su Wan was lying on the railing, looking at the city scenery, with an appearance of having never seen the world. Jiang Yu stood behind her, watching over her:
"Don't lean out too much, it's dangerous!"
Su Wan nodded, and snow suddenly began to fall from the sky, adding a touch of artistic conception to the scene.
"It's snowing again."
"This snow is considered light. If it were Kyoto, once it snowed, it would be heavy. Overnight, the entire capital would be covered in white. If you stepped on it, the snow would pile up to your calf. If you went out without a cloak, you would be frozen to a pulp."
Jiang Yu murmured to himself that the snow in Xiangzhou was not as heavy as that in Kyoto, and it could not accumulate.
Su Wan looked back at him, snow falling on both of their heads. She always felt that there was a hint of sadness in his words.
"Did you remember anything unhappy?"
"Not really. I just remember when I was little, I was playing in the snow in the yard, and my hands were red from the cold. My mother brought people around to chase me around the yard. She felt sorry for me and was afraid I would catch a cold, but she couldn't bear to blame me."
In Jiang Yu's impression, the image of his mother is the most vivid. She is his white moonlight, and almost no one can compare to her.
After his mother died, he was taken to Zhongzhou by his maternal grandfather to be raised. He seldom returned to Kyoto, and when he did, he could not stay for long. The main reason was that he did not want to deal with that family. It was so boring with all the intrigue.
It turns out that Jiang Yu was just like any other kid when he was little, naughty and playful.
Su Wan didn't know how to comfort him about this. She was in the same situation as him. Her parents had both passed away and she had to live under someone else's roof. She was even worse off than him.
"Okay, aren't you cold? Come in and warm yourself by the fire."
Jiang Yu walked to the pavilion and sat down, invited Su Wan to sit down as well, and poured her tea.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. I don't know when we'll see each other again."
He came specially to say goodbye to her alone. To be honest, he was a little reluctant. The life in the Su family was plain but warm, and the atmosphere was precious. Maybe the food, clothing, housing and transportation were not good, but as long as the family was together, he was satisfied.
"Then I wish you a safe journey. However, you left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to return your jade pendant to you." Su Wan had been thinking about this matter.
"How about you tell me your address in Zhongzhou and I'll have someone deliver it to you? Hiss... that's not going to work. I've only seen people delivering letters, but never anything."
Su Wan felt that it was inappropriate. What if someone coveted such a valuable item and embezzled it? She would have nowhere to look for it.
Hearing that she was going to return the jade pendant to him, Jiang Yu paused drinking his tea:
"Didn't we agree before that this would be a token of our love? I still owe you a favor!"
"No, you don't owe us anything. You saved my fourth brother this time, so you don't owe us anything anymore..."
Su Wan explained seriously, but she didn't notice that the corners of Jiang Yu's mouth, which were covered with the teacup, had unconsciously fallen down, and the fingers holding the teacup had turned slightly white.
If he used a little more internal force, the cup would be ruined.
She said she didn't owe him anything anymore, so she had to return the things to him. Was she going to draw a line between them?
Jiang Yu felt inexplicably irritated. He put the teacup on the table and faced Su Wan, trying his best to control his paranoia, fearing that he would scare her.
"There's no reason for me to take back what I've given away."
The tone of these words sounded quite harsh, and Su Wan clearly felt that the air pressure around Jiang Yu had dropped.
"But……"
"No buts. Don't you consider me a friend? Are you returning the jade pendant to me and not planning to see me again?" Jiang Yu looked at her with his passionate peach blossom eyes, with a faint red at the corners of his eyes. The first half of the sentence seemed a little restrained, and the second half made people feel that he was wronged.
Su Wan suddenly felt a little sorry for him, as he looked really aggrieved.
If she continued to reject him, she would blame herself.
"Of course not, we are still friends..." Su Wan softened his tone.
