Su Xun looked up at the person with a faint smile; their delicate features remained gentle.
Her facial features are more defined, and she seems to have lost some weight.
"It's a bit sunny here, let's find another place." Pei Ke felt a little embarrassed being stared at by the person in his arms, and a blush crept up behind his ears.
Su Xun slowly let go, and the two embraced in front of the teaching building, attracting the attention of many people who whispered among themselves and covered their mouths to giggle.
"good."
It had been almost half a year since they last met. The moment she saw Pei Ke, her eyes were filled with the person she had been longing for. She just wanted to hold him tightly and not let go. She almost forgot that it was during recess and there were many students coming and going.
"Pei Ke." A gentle female voice came from the other end of the line, slightly raised because of the distance.
A few seconds later, a figure walked over excitedly, "Pei Ke, it really is you! I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."
The person who arrived was wearing a white ruffled shirt and straight dark trousers. She looked very neat and had a mature charm. Her long, wavy hair was casually draped over her back, and she wore delicate light makeup.
It's Lin Nuoyu.
Su Xun had a deep impression of Lin Nuoyu. When he first entered university, he learned that she and Pei Ke were friends, and they had even participated in activities together before.
However, the two of them hadn't spoken much and didn't even have each other's contact information. After all, Lin Nuoyu was, in a way, a rival in love.
Although they were in the same school, she hadn't seen Lin Nuoyu for a long time.
"Why didn't you tell us you were coming back to China?" Lin Nuoyu walked directly to Pei Ke's side, her face displaying her ever-perfect smile.
Hearing Lin Nuoyu's familiar tone, Pei Ke unconsciously frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, and took a step back without making a sound.
"I didn't want to trouble everyone, so I didn't inform them in advance," he said calmly.
Lin Nuoyu's smile froze for a moment as she looked at Pei Ke's obviously distant actions and tone, before returning to normal and turning to look at Su Xun beside her.
"You must be Su Xun. It's been a long time."
Hearing Lin Nuoyu looking at her, she smiled politely, "Senior."
Su Xun did not want to say more, so he stopped talking.
“Pei Ke, now that you’re back, let’s get together these next couple of days. Let’s invite Duan Zi’an too; it’s been so long since the three of us sat down and chatted together.”
"I'm sorry, I just got back and I have a lot of things to take care of, so I might not be able to find the time." Pei Ke's displeasure deepened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Lin Nuoyu felt a little flustered by his gaze, and a chill ran through her.
Since Lin Nuoyu exposed the rumors about Su Xun on the forum, he thought he had made himself clear enough. He didn't want to talk to Lin Nuoyu any more and glanced at Su Xun.
A moment of silence fell over the scene, and the air seemed to become sticky.
Lin Nuoyu felt a little guilty under Pei Ke's gaze, and forced herself to look up at her watch. "I have class in a bit, I'll be going now."
Then walk towards the building across the street.
The slender high heels struck the ground with a heavy thud, revealing the turbulent emotions churning within Lin Nuoyu.
The smile on her face had completely vanished, her eyes were filled with resentment and jealousy, so intense it seemed they were about to burst forth, and her lips were tightly pressed together.
Just now, outside the Japanese Department building, she saw Pei Ke and Su Xun together from afar. The doting and smiling look in Pei Ke's eyes deeply stung her. If Su Xun hadn't appeared, would all of Pei Ke's tenderness have belonged to her?
Ever since Pei Ke warned her, she had been holding back from going to see him. She thought that a year and a half had passed and the matter should be over by now, so she took the initiative to go over and say hello.
She never expected that Pei Ke would act like a stranger in front of her; how could she not be angry?
So, these two can't even be friends anymore?
No, she still has a chance. As long as she doesn't give up, she will eventually win Pei Ke's heart. In order to get closer to Pei Ke, she studied photography, which she had no interest in at all, and shamelessly minored in law with him. Now she has chosen Japanese as her second foreign language, just to get closer to Pei Ke. One day, Pei Ke will see her efforts.
Pei Ke took Su Xun directly outside the school to a residential area a few hundred meters away.
The environment here is quiet, and most of the residents are students who have moved out. Some are students who have already started their internships and leave early and return late. Living outside means they don't have to worry about access restrictions. Others are students who plan to focus on their postgraduate entrance exams and want to study better by moving out.
Pei Ke unlocked the door with the key and pushed it open.
"Come in." He took a pair of women's slippers from the shoe cabinet, unpacked them, and handed them to Su Xun.
Su Xun took it casually and looked inside. The room was very tidy, not at all like the mess it was when they first moved in.
The two went inside, and Pei Ke led Su Xun to sit down on the sofa, then went to get two glasses of water.
Why don't you live at school anymore?
“You can apply to live off-campus in your senior year.” Pei Ke picked up his clear water glass, took a sip, and his Adam’s apple bobbed. “Besides, those brats Xiang Yang leave all their books on my desk in the dorm, and I’m too lazy to clean them up.”
"Alright then." Su Xun silently accepted this reason.
"But your place is quite clean. Didn't you just get back? How come you had time to tidy up the house?" Su Xun glanced around. The furniture was complete, and the floor was spotless.
“I contacted someone to come and clean while I was in Japan. All the furniture inside has been replaced. I just need to move in without worry.” Pei Ke glanced at Su Xun, his eyes saying: Why do you have to ask about something so simple?
Su Xun silently accepted this explanation; well, she was simply ignorant.
If you're willing to spend money, what can't you do?
I almost forgot, Pei Ke is still a pampered young master, how could he possibly worry about these trivial matters himself?
She picked up the water glass from the small coffee table, slowly took a sip of water, and then silently put it down.
The person sitting at the other end of the sofa suddenly stood up, sat down next to her, hugged her tightly, and put his head on her shoulder.
Su Xun was sitting upright with her waist suspended in the air. Without noticing, she fell directly onto the sofa. A faint scent of cedar lingered around her, a different smell from before, indicating she was wearing perfume.
It has a faint scent that lingers around the tip of your nose, and it smells quite nice.
Pei leaned half his body on Su Xun, his white shirt wrinkled from the weight. Su Xun felt the weight on him and gently pushed him away with both hands.
"Don't move, let me hold you for a while." The boy's voice was inexplicably soft, and a little deep and hoarse.
Su Xun didn't push him away again, letting him pull her into his arms. His head gently rubbed against her shoulder, and his soft hair brushed against her exposed neck, causing a slight itch.
Looking at the furry head on my body, my heart softened and melted into a puddle of water.
She was starting to miss him too.
