Chapter 49: Peace and Happiness
Sang Sui didn't expect Zhou Xizi would look for her.
Ever since she came to the cafeteria to find Sheng Yize that time, she hasn't seen her in school again.
Lin Luoluo glanced at Zhou Xizi, and finally looked at Sang Sui: "Sui Sui, I'll go back to the dormitory first."
Sang Sui nodded: "Okay."
After Lin Luoluo left, Sang Sui looked at her and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhou Xizi looked at her.
Her face is as small as a palm, her facial features are delicate and small, her skin is fair, and her figure is thin. Her appearance is not stunning, but she looks very well-behaved.
She has always been guessing what kind of girl Sheng Yize would like.
Beautiful? Cute? Or warm and generous?
But she never expected that he would like this girl who looked so well-behaved and had no temper.
It was ironic to think that in order to make Sheng Yize like her, she had changed herself and tried every means to please him, but now she was not as good as the girl in front of her who could get all the attention and love of that man without any effort.
Zhou Xizi curved his lips and said, "Sang Sui, you like Sheng Yize, right?"
Sang Sui was startled, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.
She steadied her breath, her face darkening slightly, "What do you want to say?"
"Sheng Yize has had many relationships, but each one lasted no more than a month. Do you know why?"
Sang Sui frowned.
"Because every relationship he has is a collaboration." Zhou Xizi sneered, "You should know that he has a bad relationship with his father. The father and son always quarrel when they meet, right? He has been in so many relationships just to get revenge on his father."
"Every time he was in a relationship, they were taking advantage of each other. The woman used his connections with the Sheng family to gain resources and benefits for herself, and he used the woman to anger his father."
Sang Sui was puzzled: "Why would he do this?"
"Because his father cheated on him."
Sang Sui's eyes suddenly widened, and he spoke after a while: "Cheating?"
When Aunt Lin passed away, she saw with her own eyes Sheng Guohua staying in his room holding her portrait, looking at their bedroom with empty and dull eyes. He looked like he had lost his soul, desperate and lonely.
That bedroom was their wedding room. They had been married for many years and had never left each other's side.
Sheng Guohua’s sadness and despair at that time are still vivid in my mind.
How could such an affectionate person cheat?
Zhou Xizi pulled the corner of his mouth: "Because his father cheated on his wife and killed his mother, Sheng Yize hated him and resented him, and even spared no effort to make his father suffer."
"And every relationship he had was a product of angering his father."
"In order to anger Sheng Guohua, he disguised himself as a playboy, amorous and idle, and allowed the woman to use the Sheng family's connections to seek resources, and even made Sheng Guohua think that his amorousness and promiscuity were inherited from his father."
"How well he disguises his love and promiscuity represents how ruthless he is." At this point, Zhou Xizi sneered, "There are so many women, but he never takes any of them seriously. He breaks up with every girlfriend, no matter if the contract expires or the woman offends him. He is so cold and indifferent that in his eyes, those women are just tools to take revenge on Sheng Guohua."
Sang Sui looked at her closely, frowning: "How do you know this?"
Zhou Xizi pursed his lips and smiled: "Every year on his mother's death anniversary, he would go to the grave to pay homage. That time he drank a lot of wine and said a lot in front of the grave, and I happened to hear it."
Sang Sui had no way of verifying whether these words were true or false.
But Zhou Xizi was right in saying one thing.
Sheng Yize hated Sheng Guohua. They quarreled every time they met. He even said many times that Aunt Lin's death was related to Sheng Guohua.
Sang Sui narrowed his eyes: "Why are you telling me this?"
"Sang Sui." Zhou Xizi looked at her directly, "Liking Sheng Yize will not have a good result."
-
It was already very late when Sang Sui returned to the dormitory.
She sat at the desk, the dim light from the wall lamp cast a halo above her head.
She stared at the little notebook in a trance.
Although she didn't know why Zhou Xizi told her those things, her last sentence did make her feel confused.
She knew better than anyone that Sheng Yize was a playboy, dissolute and heartless, and no one could get into his heart.
But she knew better than anyone that choosing not to like him was something that required a lot of courage to give up.
Sang Sui took a deep breath, slowly closed his notebook, took out his textbook and wanted to study.
But she was so upset that she couldn't read any book.
Finally, she simply closed her textbook and decided to go to bed.
At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang.
Pick it up and take a look.
It’s Sheng Yize.
Sang Sui's heart trembled, and he quickly covered the port of the speaker. Worried about disturbing his roommate's rest, he crouched down and carefully left the dormitory.
She closed the dormitory door gently, walked to the corner of the stairs, and then pressed the answer button.
As soon as the phone was connected, the man's magnetic voice came: "What are you doing?"
I was just thinking about him when I suddenly received a call from him. Sang Sui's heart beat faster.
"I'm reading a book."
He suddenly stopped talking.
She didn't say anything either, and the two of them fell silent.
The speaker was very quiet, so quiet that she could even hear his breathing.
Seeing that he didn't say anything else, Sang Sui couldn't help but ask: "You..."
"Aren't you going to ask what I'm doing?"
"Um?"
“I’m making something.”
Sang Sui was suspicious. Was he calling her in the middle of the night to tell her that she was working on something?
"What?"
"A pendant."
Sang Sui clutched his phone tightly: "What are you doing this for?"
"For a girl."
“…”
Sang Sui's eyes dimmed, his throat rolled, and he wanted to speak, but he found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make a sound.
She forced a smile and wanted to ask him, who are you dating?
But she didn't have the courage.
"What's wrong?" Sheng Yize asked when he saw her silent.
"No, nothing."
Sheng Yize stared at the pendant in his hand, gently stroking the four words on it with his fingertips.
"Ask me a question."
"?"
"If it were you," the man curved his lips and spoke softly, "what words would you like to be engraved on the pendant?"
Sang Sui was stunned, trying to hold back the sadness that was flooding his heart.
"Probably..." She used all her strength, "My own name."
Sheng Yize smiled: "What a coincidence, her name is engraved on it."
"It's late and I want to go to bed." Sang Sui interrupted him hastily.
Sheng Yize glanced at the time. It was ten o'clock in the evening, which was indeed late.
"Well, good night." Sheng Yize said, thinking of something, "Wait, it's your birthday..."
However, Sang Sui had already hung up.
Sheng Yize stared at the black screen of his phone, stunned.
His eyes shifted slightly and fell on the pendant in his palm.
There are four words engraved on it - peace every year.
