Upon arriving at the funeral home, assistant Bai Yushu pointed to a haggard middle-aged woman in front of him, with an elderly man leaning on a cane beside her.
The two waited at the window to collect their urns, their eyes dim, devoid of any hope.
Xu Xiu walked over slowly with heavy steps, "Excuse me, are you Xiao Ruoyan's mother?"
"Xiao Ruoyan did this to save me yesterday..."
The middle-aged woman raised her head and stared at Xu Xiu with a ferocious look in her eyes. She used all her strength to hit and scratch him repeatedly, like a shrew.
"Why, why did I save you!"
"What does your death have to do with us...? Why... why did our daughter save you?"
"How can we live without her!"
Xu Xiu simply stood there without resisting or speaking, but the old man beside him seemed to have some unexpected strength.
He raised his cane and struck Xu Xiu on the head, causing him to bleed profusely on the spot.
Bai Yushu quickly ran over and grabbed the old man, "Mr. Xu, are you alright?"
The driver, Xiao Liu, quickly grabbed a towel and pressed it onto Xu Xiu's head.
As if none of this concerned him, Xu Xiu stood there blankly without responding.
When Xiao Ruoyan's mother heard the title "President Xu," she was stunned for a moment, then felt as if all the energy had been drained from her body and collapsed to the ground.
"You...are you... called Xu Xiu?"
......
Upon hearing Xiao Ruoyan's mother's words, Xu Xiu immediately came to his senses and nodded, "I... am Xu Xiu."
Upon hearing the man's words, Zhang Aixiang burst into tears and it took her a long time to calm down.
"I understand... I understand... why my daughter saved you..."
Zhang Aixiang took out a diary from a tattered canvas bag she was carrying.
"This was found while sorting through my daughter's belongings."
Xu Xiu took the diary and opened the first page, where he saw, "September 1, 2013".
"On the first day of school, I finally saw him."
"And we were even deskmates, but he doesn't recognize me anymore."
......
......
October 20, 2014
"He yelled at me, asking why I stuttered."
Tell me why I'm afraid of him.
"I really want to tell him, not because I'm afraid of him, but because I like you!"
September 1, 2015
"On the first day of my senior year, he and I were assigned to the same class again."
“We were still deskmates, but he chose to switch seats.”
......
......
"Xiu, the weather's so nice today, what are you doing?"
"Xiu, it's snowing. Is it snowing where you are?"
"Xiu, do you still remember me?"
......
......
The entire thick diary was filled with entries about herself.
Until yesterday...
At this moment, Xu Xiu also collapsed to the ground. He had been depressed for a while after being rejected by Liu Qianxue. Although he later achieved success in his career, he gradually lost his true self.
Xu Xiu has never lacked women; he's a womanizer who never gets attached to anyone, and he's always just playing around.
After sitting for a while, Xu Xiu originally planned to bury Xiao Ruoyan's ashes in the largest cemetery in Dongcheng.
But Zhang Aixiang disagreed, saying she wanted to bury the urn on the hill behind her house.
Watching Zhang Aixiang and the old man walk with faltering steps, Xu Xiuxin felt as if he were being trampled on.
......
......
Soon after, a news report stirred up a huge wave of controversy.
At 10:30 a.m. local time, Mr. Xu Xiu, a well-known entrepreneur, tragically died in a serious car accident.
......
......
"Oh, why! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"
Xu Xiu woke up from a nightmare with a start, and his classmates looked at him with suspicion.
He rubbed his eyes and turned to look at his deskmate, Liu Qianxue, the class beauty.
Her appearance remained as stunning as ever, with fair skin, a slightly upturned nose, and long, jet-black hair cascading over her delicate collarbones.
Looking down, even in her school uniform, her curvaceous figure was unmistakable.
"What are you looking at? Xu Xiu, where are the drinks and potato chips we ordered? Why haven't you gone to buy them yet?"
Fang Xiaoxiao spoke arrogantly from the side.
Xu Xiu's mind was still in a daze, and he had no idea what had happened.
In an instant, countless memories flooded his mind. Xu Xiu glanced at Xiao Ruoyan's location, his eyes slightly red. "Silly girl, thank goodness you're still here."
Suddenly, a book was thrown at him. "Xu Xiu is talking to you, why are you ignoring me?"
Fang Xiaoxiao, who was sitting behind Liu Qianxue, threw her book down and was still cursing.
Xu Xiu snapped out of his daze and glanced at Fang Xiaoxiao, his eyes filled with hostility.
Fang Xiaoxiao shuddered, feeling as if she were being stared at by some ferocious beast. "Fang Xiaoxiao, do you want me to be your slave? Will you give me grass every day?"
Upon hearing Xu Xiu's words, the surrounding classmates were stunned for a moment and began to whisper among themselves.
Fang Xiaoxiao was taken aback at first, then became angry and embarrassed.
"Xu Xiu, what nonsense are you spouting!"
"That means, get as far away from me as possible."
"If you keep babbling in front of me, I won't just keep saying it."
After saying that, he punched the glass in the window.
"Crackling"
The glass shattered into pieces, startling the surrounding students who had never seen anything like it.
Fang Xiaoxiao hid behind Liu Qianxue without daring to make a sound.
"Xu Xiu, is it really necessary to get so angry just because I didn't accept your confession?"
Liu Qianxue turned her head and looked at Xu Xiu.
"Confess your feelings?"
"How could you forget about what happened in the last class so quickly?"
Xu Xiu patted his head; it still hurt a little, and his memory was a jumbled mess.
As a result, I didn't notice that my hand had been cut by glass, and it got all over my hair.
A classmate reminded him, and Xu Xiu noticed, picked up a water bottle (whose water bottle he didn't know belonged to) to wash his hands, and then pressed a tissue onto them.
This move left the students speechless.
Xiao Ruoyan watched Xu Xiu's every move, very worried but daring not to do anything.
At this moment, the homeroom teacher, Li Hansong, walked in and was shocked to see Xu Xiu covered in blood. "Xu Xiu, what happened to you?"
"It's nothing. I just stuck my head out of the window and bumped into the glass without noticing."
After speaking, he glanced at the whole class, and the students, having witnessed Xu Xiu's ruthlessness, all chose to shut up.
"Are you alright? Let's go to the infirmary right away!"
"Teacher Li is alright!"
"However, I do have something else to say, which is that I'd like to change my position."
Xu Xiu's gaze remained fixed on Xiao Ruoyan.
"Why do you want to change seats again? Just tell me where you want to move to?"
Li Hansong placed the textbook on the podium, his gaze fixed on Xu Xiu.
"Teacher Li, I would like to switch back to my original seat."
"Why?"
“When I was away for a semester, Xiao Ruoyan’s grades dropped. As the class’s academic representative, I have an obligation to help every student.”
Li Hansong gave Xiao Ruoyan a strange look, "Xu Xiu, the problem is that your own grades have dropped!"
