Chapter 246
She stared blankly at the handsome young man with brown flaxen hair, pale skin, and striking good looks for a moment.
Because of her prolonged staring, a thin blush slowly rose on the boy's face: "W-what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Where are your friends or family? Do you need my help?"
Faced with a barrage of questions, she stirred, struggling to sit up on the beach. The boy kneeling beside her rushed to help her, but once she regained her balance, he withdrew his hand as if he'd been electrocuted.
Jiang You looked around. The setting sun had turned the sky a fiery red. The streetlights along the riverbank were not yet lit. The shadows of the railings in the distance overlapped on the road. Every frame looked like a summer close-up in a Japanese anime.
It won't travel across the ocean to get here, will it?
She grabbed the boy anxiously and asked, "Where is this?"
The boy stared at her hand holding his arm, blushed, and quickly looked away before noticing the unusual problem.
He asked in surprise and concern, "It's Qinghai City! Sister, where did you fall into the sea from?"
Jiang You was stunned. Wasn't Qinghai City the most famous tourist destination in China? Had she returned to China?!
Her breathing became rapid, and after the initial excitement, she felt empty inside, even her breathing was tinged with confusion.
She had always considered returning to her home country as her goal. After meeting Eugene, she thought it wouldn't be bad to live with him, but he died, and now she has returned to her home country.
But she never thought about what would happen after she returned to China.
How is she supposed to live?
Is it up to her to decide what kind of life she should lead?
It seems like nothing has changed.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing her become lifeless, the boy, like a startled deer, frantically pulled out his phone, wanting to dial 120.
Jiang You stopped him when he pressed 2.
She stared at the boy for a long time until he lowered his head shyly, and only then did she realize something.
She didn't like Eugene, but wanted to stay with him because he met her needs, such as providing for her basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter, and making her happy and content...
There can be many Eugenes, just like the boy in front of us. Most importantly, no one knows where she is right now, so we can avoid the situation of having to choose between two options.
A desperate situation leads to survival!
Thinking of Jiangyou here, it's like a tender bud sprouting from a crack in a withered tree branch, exuding the vitality of breaking through the soil.
Su Qingbai didn't understand what had happened, but seeing his sister come to life, he was genuinely happy and couldn't help but open his mouth and smile.
This revealed two shallow canine teeth, making him look incredibly lively.
At this moment, the streetlights came on, and a cool autumn breeze blew, causing Jiangyou to shiver slightly.
She suddenly realized she had forgotten something, as if she had forgotten someone, the person who had always been by her side, the person who had been frantically pleading with her in the sea, pulling her to survive.
He's an unimportant person, like Eugene.
"Sister, the ground is cold, let me help you up," the boy noticed her condition and hurriedly helped her to her feet.
Having his thoughts interrupted, Jiang You stopped thinking about it.
The boy helped her walk slowly forward: "Sister, my name is Su Qingbai, you can just call me Xiaobai."
After she finished speaking, there was no further movement. Jiang You noticed Su Qingbai's bright and expectant gaze, and she belatedly realized that she also had to tell him her name.
The original name can no longer be used; a new name must be chosen.
“How can this be!!! You’re the older sister, I call you Xiao Yun, and you call me Xiao Bai, this, this, this messes up the generations,” Su Qingbai stammered, then added softly, “How can you call someone like that?”
Jiangyou doesn't care; they can shout whatever they want.
Su Qingbai said a lot, but realized that her sister hadn't listened to a single word, so she said helplessly, "Then I'll call you Sister Xiaoyun."
"Sure, Xiaobai."
Su Qingbai blushed again.
Actually, he didn't know why. Even though many people called him Xiaobai, the way the older sister he had just met called him Xiaobai sounded particularly nice, making him feel all warm and tingly, and he really wanted her to call him that a few more times.
Su Qingbai was the one doing all the talking between the two. He was still immersed in his sister calling him "Little Bai" and didn't say anything, making the atmosphere unusually quiet.
They quickly arrived at a fallen bicycle, and it was clear how rushed the owner had been to cause the bicycle to fall and become a mess.
Su Qingbai snapped out of her daze and stepped forward to lift the bicycle. A string of colorful keychains, shaped like dinosaurs, basketballs, and ice cream, hung from the black canvas backpack in the basket.
The clanging and clattering sounded as he helped him up.
