From the truth told by Qi Jingren yesterday, it seems that the two of them are not together yet; they might just be too close or in a flirtatious stage. However, she couldn’t guess why this person would know Su Jiuyi.
Could they be colleagues? Sohow it doesn’t seem quite right. From the first glance at Shi Aoju, she felt he had a commanding presence that could make people feel intimidated.
As they got off the cable car and sat back in Shi Aoju’s car, Su Jiuyi’s heart, which had been hanging for a day and a night, finally returned to its rightful place.
Seeing her looking like she had "picked up a life," Shi Aoju raised an eyebrow and asked, "Will you go again next ti?"
"Yes, why not." She chose a comfortable position and reclined in the seat; the air conditioning in the car was pleasantly cool, she suddenly felt that the previously tense co-pilot seat had beco endearingly cozy.
Perhaps it’s because she has gotten a step closer to the person beside her.
Recalling how Shi Aoju took care of her going up the mountain yesterday, everything felt like a dream, making her want to imrse herself in his gentleness, never wishing to wake up.
In this world, there’s nothing worth missing for her. Previously, she felt that her existence was aningless, having to endure people’s disdain every day.
Yet, since eting Shi Aoju, even though the days weren’t very peaceful, she has experienced a kind of affection beyond family and friendship.
Su Jiuyi’s gaze fell on Shi Aoju’s distinctively jointed hands, rembering how he pulled her to strive towards the mountain top yesterday. His hands were large and strong, warmly enclosing hers, seemingly dispelling all the chill around her.
Under the sky that bears her countless thoughts, the surge in her chest was like waves, turning incessantly.
The scenery outside the car window moved swiftly by, the hibiscus flowers on each side of the road swayed with the wind; in that mont, she suddenly felt all the luck in the world had fallen upon her, as if she were in a dream.
When Su Manning returned ho, Su Zhenxiong and Zhao Shuya were sitting in the hall, the surrounding atmosphere was as cold as a frozen cave, pressing down on her to the point of feeling suffocated.
Song Zhike sent her to the door and then left. Although she politely invited him to stay for breakfast with the Su Family, he declined citing business matters.
Actually, even without finding a reason, Su Manning understood. It seems that it’s indeed hard for the two of them to try being together.
Looking at Su Zhenxiong’s stiff expression and Zhao Shuya’s aggrieved face, they both seed like they just had a fight and were now trying to calm down, sitting silently without speaking.
Su Manning carefully recalled her recent actions and couldn’t think of anything that might have upset them.
It must be their own issue.
Su Manning stood bewildered about ten ters away from them, unsure whether to step forward and advise them or retreat to her room.
After all, there are things the adults are unwilling to tell their children, and even if she’s concerned, it’s futile as she won’t really be able to help.
"Man Ning, co here." Just as she was hesitating, Su Zhenxiong called her na in a deep voice.
Helplessly, she walked over, clutching the strap of her bag tightly. Though she had seen her father angry before, he was often severe, but usually towards Su Jiuyi; she seldom heard him speak to her in this tone.
"What’s wrong, Dad?" She asked first.
