Su Nuanyang thought of Aunt Qin, who she often met at the vegetable market and who would seriously teach her how to bargain and how to tell if vegetables were fresh. After hesitating for a moment, she took one of the sticks from Song Ming's hand.
"Thank Aunt Qin for me."
Two days passed in a flash.
On this day, Rongcheng was hit by a rare torrential rainstorm.
Su Nuanyang, who was still in class, could no longer sit still when he heard the thunder outside the window.
"Why is it thundering again?"
She looked out the window at the dark clouded sky, her eyes growing more and more uneasy.
Finally, she put down her pen and stood up.
"Teacher, my stomach hurts and I want to go to the toilet."
"Go ahead."
The subject teacher saw that Su Nuanyang did not look like she was lying and quickly agreed.
Song Ming, sitting in his seat, frowned slightly as he watched Su Nuanyang rush out of the classroom.
Su Nuanyang's expression just now didn't look like a stomachache, but rather like he was worried about something.
After leaving the classroom, Su Nuanyang rushed to the office and asked the head teacher to approve the leave note.
Swish——
After another burst of thunder, heavy rain began to fall.
Su Manxing in the apartment was so frightened by the first thunder that he shrank into the corner and didn't move.
The thunder seemed to bring her back to the night when she received the call from the police.
It rained heavily that day, with lightning and thunder all the way.
In a trance, she seemed to be standing in front of the white stretcher again, and her parents' expressions were so pale without a trace of blood.
“I’m sorry…I’m sorry…”
She banged her head again and again, trying to suppress the harsh voice in her head.
Unfortunately, it was of no use, and she could only hold the bottle and drink beer.
"Ho~ho~"
She gasped, looked at the roof, looked at her parents who were blaming her, closed her eyes slightly and made up her mind.
I can’t drag Xiao Nuan down anymore.
She held the last bottle of wine in her hand, stood up little by little, holding on to the wall, and slowly walked towards the door.
After finally reaching the fourth floor, Li Lili's door just opened.
When they suddenly saw someone, they both trembled with fear.
"Miss Su, are you going upstairs to see the scenery?"
Li Lili, carrying a few bags of garbage, looked at Su Manxing who was lowering his head and asked in confusion.
"Um."
Su Manxing lowered her head to let her long hair cover her facial features, concealing her abnormality.
Fortunately, Li Lili is a calm person. She just thought Su Manxing was being withdrawn, scratched her head, and went downstairs.
"I'm going downstairs to take out the trash so I don't disturb you from enjoying the rain."
Li Lili, who had just come back from throwing away the garbage, happened to meet Su Nuanyang who was rushing back in a hurry.
She looked at Su Nuanyang, whose clothes were still wet, and thought of Su Manxing whom she had just seen. After hesitating for a while, she told Su Nuanyang about this.
Su Nuanyang, who already looked a little nervous, frowned when he heard this.
"Sister Lili, I'm leaving first."
She rushed into the building in a hurry, and the elevator opened just in time, and Ji Yao, who was just coming back from get off work, went in.
"Big brother, wait a minute!"
Ji Yao looked at Su Nuanyang who kept shouting "wait a minute" and reached out to help stop him.
"Big brother, can you come down again later? I'm in a hurry to get to the fourth floor."
Su Nuanyang in the elevator turned on the elevator and pressed the fourth floor button before apologizing to Ji Yao.
Ji Yao looked at the elevator that had already started to rise, but he was not in a hurry.
"Sure, Xiao Nuan, do you have anything to ask the landlord?"
Ji Yao asked, looking at Su Nuanyang who looked anxious.
"No, Sister Lili said she saw my sister go to the rooftop. I'm a little worried about her."
Su Nuanyang wanted to say something, but when he saw the elevator door was already open, he left in a hurry without saying anything.
Ji Yao, who was staying in the elevator, heard this and thought of Su Manxing's behavior when they met several times. After hesitating for a while, he left the elevator and walked towards the fourth floor.
There was a cold wind blowing on the rooftop in the evening.
Although the heavy rain has almost stopped, the remaining cold air still makes people feel cold.
In such an environment, Su Manxing sat on the edge of the balcony and drank wine sip by sip.
I’m so tired~ I can’t hold on any longer... Let’s finish this bottle of wine and leave!
She looked at the speeding cars and pedestrians in the distance and thought silently.
bump!
At this moment, there was a loud sound of a door opening behind me.
Su Nuanyang ran up panting, and tears suddenly flowed out when he saw Su Manxing sitting on the edge of the balcony drinking.
"Sister, what are you doing!"
She had been caught in the rain for a long time and looked like a poor abandoned girl.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Nuan, I..."
Su Manxing looked at Su Nuanyang's tearful eyes and apologized subconsciously.
"Don't say sorry to me, you haven't done anything sorry to me, sister, please come down first."
Su Nuanyang was afraid of irritating Su Manxing, so he moved closer and softly persuaded her.
"Xiao Nuan, don't come over here."
She spoke immediately when she saw Su Nuanyang approaching.
"Xiao Nuan, I can't hold on any longer. I should go to my parents to atone for my sins."
Her eyes were dull, and I don't know what she was thinking.
"Sister, stop talking nonsense, can you please come down?"
As Su Nuanyang spoke, she looked at Su Manxing who turned around and was about to ignore her, and yelled in desperation.
"Sister, you just walked away, but what about me? What's the point of me living here alone? I might as well jump off the building too."
She watched her sister finally turn around, but tears in her eyes kept falling like a string of pearls.
"Xiao Nuan, you can't."
When Su Manxing heard this, he turned his head sharply and retorted instinctively.
"No? You actually said no? You can do it yourself! Sister, do you know? This is the second time I've cried. I was very sad when Mom and Dad left, but I knew I still had my sister. You only knew how to drink every day and asked me to do everything. I didn't cry because I knew my sister was sad too. I've been looking forward to the day when my sister would open the door, hug me, rub my head and say, 'Xiao Nuan, thank you for taking care of me for so long. I've cheered up now. Let's work hard to live a good life together.'"
"But you can, you are so selfish, I, I am a second-year junior high school student taking care of that, everything depends on me, I have to go to the parent-teacher conference by myself, I have to go to school by myself, I have to do everything at home by myself, even if I have a cold and want to drink hot water, I have to pour it myself."
Su Nuanyang looked at Su Manying who was wholeheartedly devoted to her, and vented all the words that had been suppressed in his heart in one breath.
"I've been hoping every day that you could pull yourself together, but what about me? All you do every day is drink! I didn't just wait for one day, or a month for you, I waited for almost a year, and you didn't pull yourself together, and now you want to jump off the building..."
As he said this, he raised his hand and wiped away his tears.
"Okay! Go ahead and jump! I can take care of myself even without my parents. My sister can do without me. I would have learned to take care of myself a long time ago anyway!"
She looked at Su Manxing who was standing there in a daze, and continued talking with a feeling of dissatisfaction.
"Sister, do you know how much I envy you? You at my age at least enjoyed the love of your parents, but I am called an orphan. I have a sister and parents, but they say this to me, and I didn't give up. Why should you give up just because you want to?!"
After she yelled the last sentence, she left the rooftop crying, covering her face without waiting for Su Manxing's reaction.
