Chapter 94: No Changes for a Hundred Years
Human hormone levels peak at night.
It makes people impulsive and reckless, and have unrealistic delusions about everything in the world.
What good can come from staying with him?
Xu Jiqing thought that if he still had a bit of reason and conscience, he should send the girl away even if her eyes were red.
Instead of being like this now, as if he was bewitched, Su Xia just pulled his sleeves twice and he was on his way back to the bar.
He is tall, but walks slowly.
The girl's steps were much more brisk than when she came, and she walked ahead with a clattering sound. "If you're embarrassed, I'll go and tell the foreman for you that the wine just now was opened for you, and the commission must be credited to you, not a cent less. How much can I lose from a few glasses? There's still a lot left. I can't let those ugly guys take the credit."
"Does the bar pay wages daily? I don't quite understand, but the little sister seems to know a lot. Let's go ask the manager together."
She seemed to be afraid that he would not catch up, so she looked back every two steps, and her skirt swayed slightly.
Xu Jiqing was only seventeen years old that year.
I have thought about it so many times before, "It doesn't matter" was just a last resort to make excuses, but at this moment, many things seem to really not matter.
Who wouldn't like her?
Anyone who is with Su Xia like this seems to become brighter.
He was like a thief with his hands full of diamonds. He knew that such dazzling brilliance would not last forever and would not belong to him in the end, but he was still shamefully moved, and his heart was so sweet that it tasted bitter.
Returning to the main street from the alley entrance, Su Xia spoke tentatively while waiting for the traffic light.
"...Is it related to Jiaojiao?"
The adults in the family don't seem to worry about him.
This year, the only money that could force Xu Jiqing to this point could be for his sister.
Nearing eleven o'clock.
The hustle and bustle of the nightclub has just begun, but the streets of the city have already quieted down.
On the long street, the evening breeze gently blows through the tops of the sycamore trees.
Xia Ye was so tolerant, as if even someone like him could be indulged and allowed to take a step forward.
"Xu Jiaojiao will have cochlear implant surgery next year."
Xu Jiqing opened his lips.
This was the first time he answered his family's questions directly.
Don't end the topic abruptly or be evasive.
Unaccustomed to such self-disclosure, he tilted his head slightly, his tone flat and somewhat stiff, "The queue starts next month. I had enough for the deposit, but my dad recently ran off with the money, so I'm short of 20,000 yuan."
"The things you gave me..."
"Cochlear implants are expensive, right?" Su Xia guessed what he was about to say and quickly interrupted him, "Pay the 20,000 yuan deposit first. There are plenty of other expenses later. It's not much at all."
Xu Jiqing had such a hard heart that she had to pry open a crack with great difficulty, fearing that he would go back on his word.
Su Xia's mind was racing.
"Besides, I like Xu Jiaojiao. She's still so young. If she can have surgery sooner rather than later, with good doctors and good equipment, and follow-up rehabilitation training, it won't affect her normal life in the future."
"Such a lively little girl... When she recovers, I want to talk to her more and take her out to play. I don't want her to suffer any more."
I can't bear to let you suffer.
How many years can a person’s youth last?
In her memory, just as Xu Jiqing disappeared on the eve of the competition finals, Xu Jiaojiao's cochlear implant surgery also missed the best opportunity and she had to live with hearing aids for the rest of her life.
There is still a full six months until that critical time point.
Su Xia didn't know what would happen in the future, but she was sure that people like Xu Jiqing would still try their best for those hundreds of thousands until the last moment.
The word carefree has nothing to do with him.
While other people’s youth is filled with flying sports, game rankings and singing parties, Xu Jiqing carries the weight of reality on his shoulders every minute and every second as he walks alone in the dark night.
How could she bear to do that?
The girl's beautiful eyes looked at him, gentle in the night.
Xu Jiqing paused and looked away in embarrassment.
He tried to make the fluctuation in his tone less obvious, "I'll pay you back later."
"You don't have to pay it back," Su Xia pouted and corrected him patiently, "I already said it was an advance payment for tutoring."
"There's still a long time until graduation. If you can't make up for it this year, there's still next year. Do you want to run away?"
The missing Xu Wenyao, the weak and fickle Lin Yuezhen, his sister whose future and fate depend on him, the countless games that must be won in the second half of the year... so many things are on his shoulders, blocking his way.
But as long as she was there, everything faded away and he could only see those bright eyes.
"No."
Xu Jiqing said.
Su Xia smiled, her almond eyes were bright and moist, her fair little face was flushed with pink, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart.
The traffic light at the intersection turned green.
They were still walking one after the other like before.
But Su Xia was happy now, and had become much bolder. She moved towards Xu Jiqing little by little, as if she was frightened by a car seven or eight meters away. She stuck to his right hand hanging by his side like a little rabbit and held it softly.
Her acting is very poor. If she were a real actress, she would definitely be ridiculed by the public for three days and three nights.
But Xu Jiqing just struggled slightly and didn't move again, letting the small hand wrap around his two fingers that couldn't be straightened, like two children holding hands across the street, holding each other tightly.
The night breeze by the river was moist, calming Su Xia's racing heart.
His injured hand had poor blood circulation and was so cold that he felt unresponsive.
Fortunately, her hands are very warm and can keep me warm even in the coldest winter.
They look like they are making a pinky promise.
She thought sweetly that her dimples couldn't be hidden.
We made a promise that nothing will change for a hundred years.
-
Xu Jiqing agreed to give her extra lessons.
Su Xia was only excited for two hours, then she took a shower and happily lay down in bed. The little senior sister's reaction was even more exaggerated than hers.
Li Chun: [So that waitress is actually your school's most beautiful, strong, and tough competition star. She used to sit next to you, and you've been secretly in love with her for six months. But today, you couldn't stand it anymore, so you decided to save her?]
What a mess.
Su Xia turned over and put her feet up. Explaining was too much trouble. She typed two lines and then deleted them. [Probably.]
Li Chun was older than her and tired of all the gossip from the art academy. She was completely taken aback by the two kids' romance. "...Kill me."
Su Xia: [? ]
Li Chun: [It means something good.]
[To be honest, I was really scared when you opened the champagne tower. I thought you had been led astray by me, that you had been seduced by some vixen, and that you had started spending money like crazy and going astray. I even thought about how to apologize to Aunt Su. Luckily, it was a false alarm [bless you][bless you]]
Let me reiterate, your junior sister is a good person. She just noticed you haven't posted to your Moments lately and has been practicing piano all day. She was worried you might get sick from it, so she took you to a place where you can legally objectify handsome men and relax. She has no other intentions, and I'm doing it with all my heart.
