Chapter 172
That evening, Jiang You wasn't interested in watching the Spring Festival Gala and went back to his room to watch videos.
As soon as midnight struck, my phone was flooded with messages.
Song Yun: [Happy New Year, Youyou!]
Wang Lili: [Happy New Year, Youbao!]
Song Wenxi: [Happy New Year, Jiangxi!]
Xia Bei......
Jiang You was bewildered for a moment. In the past, during the Spring Festival, the messages were almost always sent to groups, without any names in front of the recipients. He was a little unaccustomed to this now.
She sniffed, feeling like an ordinary person on the margins who had suddenly been pulled to the center of the stage, feeling uneasy yet receiving friendship and care.
Although the road ahead is dark and the end is nowhere in sight, there is also beautiful scenery all around.
Jiang You thought for a second and honestly sent the message "[Happy New Year]" to the group.
Sending messages one by one is impossible; she's quite popular now, and sending messages one by one would be exhausting.
She smiled slightly, then pursed her lips and tapped her phone to send a text message.
It was a completely unfamiliar number, and I sent her a message.
[Happy New Year, Youyou]
I really, really love you.
Jiang You stared at the two simple messages for a long time.
This number belongs to Xia Yan. At first, she blocked him on WeChat. When he added her on another WeChat account, she blocked him again.
Later, he sent text messages directly to Jiang You, who kept sending them one after another, but eventually simply ignored them, turned on Do Not Disturb, and pretended not to see them.
Xia Yan's initial vicious curses were so distorted that he seemed to want to gouge out her eyes and bones and then swallow her whole.
Then came crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. Finally, she seemed to accept the reality and rarely sent messages, only occasionally sending a message late at night: "[Please talk to me, please]".
I saw all of this while cleaning up the parcel pickup codes. Jiangyou's memory is really bad; even the saddest or happiest memories will be forgotten if I don't think about them for two days.
This thought came to mind just now when I saw Xia Bei's message.
Jiang You hesitated to press the exit button, instead leaving his thumb hovering over the typing box.
"Jiang You, come down and set off the cannons!"
Jiang's father's strong voice came from downstairs. Jiang You seemed to have been hit on the head and instantly woke up. He deleted the message, got out of bed, and strode downstairs.
I couldn't sleep during the New Year; the sound of firecrackers rang out from dusk till dawn.
Jiang You spent some peaceful days at home. When it was time for school to start, she bought a train ticket and embarked on her journey to Sheng'an City.
Jiang's parents didn't have to leave their hometown; they stayed and started planting fruit seedlings.
Jiang You, carrying his suitcase and looking travel-worn, opened the dormitory door and instinctively called out, "I'm back."
A wave of stagnant, cold air, carrying the astringent smell of dust, hits you in the face. The room is desolate, like an unopened silence.
Cheng Pandi dropped out of school long ago, Wang Lili went to Hong Kong, and Bai Qianyue and her boyfriend rented a room outside.
She belatedly realized that she would actually live alone after that.
First, I did a quick cleaning, then made the bed, opened my suitcase, and organized the things I brought from home.
"Old Li! So you finally decided to come back? Did you see the new cards in Love & Producer?"
"Let me in first!"
The two chattering voices disappeared when the door was closed.
Another suitcase wheel rolled past her dorm room door. A voice rang out: "Qian Muli, you're here! The cafeteria's not open yet, I'm cooking instant noodles."
"Oh, do you know how many points our dorm got deducted? It's all because of your little electric cooker."
"I'll make you a packet."
The accusation was interrupted.
"Another egg?"
"Just this once, don't do it again next time."
Jiang You couldn't help but smile, then suddenly froze, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.
She has no roommates anymore.
She also had a lot to share with Wang Lili and the others.
Jiang You was feeling down and didn't notice that the eyes on the anime character poster on the wall suddenly gleamed with an eerie light, staring at her like a dormant single eye, flickering strangely in the shadows.
It silently records every corner, even the girl's soft sighs are converted into data streams and transmitted to another device.
"Youyou, you won't be lonely with me around."
Xiang Peiqing was wearing a casual black oversized coat with the hood up. The room was dimly lit, and he hid himself in the darkness.
The fluorescent light from the screen illuminated his handsome features: clear, elegant eyebrows, a straight nose, and thin lips. He gazed at the screen with a gentle smile on his lips.
"You won't, you won't be lonely. I'll always be with you, always clinging to you," the voice was like a seductive whisper from a demon in the abyss, the tone suddenly becoming melodious, the breath transforming into the tingling sensation of a lover's fingertips teasing the heartstrings, sweet as honey, every word wrapped in warm tenderness: "Youyou, my Youyou, I love you, we'll be together forever."
