"..." Su Rongxing’s entire body tensed under his stare, and she quickly whispered, "I was kissed by him."
"That’s all?" He still had a dark expression.
"That’s all!" Su Rongxing glared at him, "What do you think I would do? Sleep with him? Am I that stupid?"
He was silent for a bit, "Let’s stop here."
"None of your business." Su Rongxing mumbled quietly.
He fell silent again, just staring at her, his eyes filled with a stern and pressuring intensity.
She found it hard to breathe, lowering her head, mumbling as she always did when she annoyed him and then tried to soothe him, "I know what I’m doing! I never really planned to be serious with Cui Pei, I was just playing. What kind of person is he? Not as good-looking as you, not as upright as you, not as knowledgeable as you, licking his master’s boots like a dog, does he deserve ? He’s just a toad wanting to eat swan at!"
He frowned, "You understand the word ’upright’?"
"What’s wrong with that? Why can’t I judge soone’s character?" She lifted her chin displeased, "I know, in your heart, I’m just a an, domineering person with no decency, but... but..." she felt a twinge of grievance, "but I’m not what you think I am..."
"Rongxing," he said, "you always ask if I hate you. I don’t want to lie, I didn’t like you when we were young, but as we grew up, I started to understand your feelings. We grew up in the sa family, you without a biological mother, without a biological father. So emotions are mutual, but you and I took different ways to adapt to life, two extre ways." One extrely irritable, the other extrely silent.
"So, you didn’t hate when you grew up?" She was moved by his words, tears starting to well up in her eyes.
"I understood you." He didn’t answer her directly, "Rongxing, we’re no longer kids."
"But, I wish we were still kids..." she choked out through tears. When we were children, you couldn’t ignore if I cried; when I had Aunt Shang to back up, you’d give everything I wanted, "I don’t want to grow up at all." Now, when I cry and scream for you, you won’t even turn back...
He sighed lightly, "Rongxing..."
"I know..." Su Rongxing grew even more sorrowful, "You’ll soon marry Tu Hengsha, right? She’s already wearing a ring on her finger, I can’t bring myself to bless you, I hope you two have a bad ending, doesn’t that make hateful? But I really feel that way inside, I don’t want to lie! Once you’re married, I’ll be all alone! No one wants !"
"How will you be all alone?" He handed her a tissue, "Doesn’t Dad want you? Doesn’t big brother care for you? What about Su Rongyu?"
Su Rongxing didn’t take the tissue from him, wiped her tears herself, picked up her bag and left. Halfway out, she stopped, turned back, "I won’t see Cui Pei again, I’ll listen to everything you say. I’ve been listening to you since I was a child." Although she often acted irrationally, she always ended up compromising.
Tu Hengsha didn’t find the ti to call Fan Yue until the evening. On the other end, Fan Yue’s voice was crisp and bright, "Little Sha!" Clearly delighted.
"Yueyue, when are you free?" Listening to Fan Yue’s cheerful voice made her feel slightly relieved; such an upbeat tone shouldn’t an anything is wrong, right?
"Little Sha, I might not have ti lately, you know, it’s the year-end, all sorts of busy."
Was Fan Yue avoiding eting her, or really busy? So she said, "Fan Yue, is there really nothing you want to tell ? I thought this morning you couldn’t say it because Su Ronggui was there." She and Fan Yue had always been straightforward, no secrets.
"Really nothing! Just suddenly missed you." Fan Yue said seriously on the other side, and even over the phone, Su Hengsha could tell she was smiling.
"That’s fine then." Hopefully, it was just her imagination.
She was standing at the newspaper office entrance making the call, waiting for Su Ronggui to co back and pick her up. The snow on the road had completely lted, leaving only a trace on the bare branches of the pagoda trees, the evening lights began to shine softly.
Even so, it was still freezing cold, her cheeks reddened from the chill.
From afar, she saw his car coming, so she hopped onto the road to et him.
When she got in the car, the warm air hit her, and she closed her eyes comfortably.
Seeing her red cheeks, he couldn’t help but touch her face, cold enough to freeze his hand.
His face fell imdiately, "Have you been waiting for outside all this ti? Why didn’t you wait inside?" He held her face with both hands to warm her up. Then he noticed she wasn’t wearing a scarf, "Where’s your scarf? Not wearing it properly."
She giggled, her eyes bright, "I wanted to wait outside, breathe so fresh air, and also, so I could see you first!"
The casual words she said left him stunned, his entire expression softened a lot, "Still say you’re not silly!" Although it was a scolding, it was like the warm air in the car, making one feel warm all over.
When her face was almost warm, he let go of her, ready to drive off, but was caught off guard when she suddenly pounced on him, planting a big smooch on his cheek, the warm and soft touch left a lasting mark.
Helplessly, he looked at her, amused, having gotten used to his girlfriend’s sporadic "wolf" behavior.
Tu Hengsha didn’t feel embarrassed either, today touching the ring on her finger for the 180th ti, a sense of fulfillnt welling within her, "Mr. Su, how about an interview?"
"Hmm." He answered briefly, but his eyes were gentle.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Su, what do you like about Tu Hengsha? Must be her outstanding beauty and intelligence, right?"
At a red light, he parked and glanced at her, without a word.
Tu Hengsha humd, her eyes looking at him challengingly: Mr. Su, is this a freebie or a deadly question, entirely depends on your answer! Mr. Su can’t be that clueless, right?
He t her gaze and replied lightly, "Outstanding beauty and intelligence, huh..."
She suddenly rembered Mr. Su’s "virtue" of never saying nice things, and rushed, "Mr. Su—" her face almost saying: I want to hear sweet lies!
He couldn’t help but laugh, "Outstanding beauty? Mr. Su acknowledges, intelligence..."
"..." When did Mr. Su beco so tactful?
"Intelligence..." He hesitated, stopping himself from saying anything more.
She puffed her cheeks in anger, surely this ant calling her Little Fool again? "If you call Little Fool again, I’ll get mad."
He looked at her, then before the light turned green, leaned in and whispered sothing in her ear.
She froze, then her face turned crimson, no wonder Mr. Su couldn’t say it aloud, it wasn’t Mr. Su’s serious style at all! When did Mr. Su beco so naughty? No, no, give back my serious and pure Mr. Su!
She hastily said, "No, no, we can’t try tonight, we’re going to my house for dinner!"
Mr. Su’s voice filled the car, "Why not? Can’t we include a few IQ test questions over dinner?"
"..." So, Mr. Su’s teasing again? "You clearly said, last night was too quick to try! Let’s try again tonight!" How did it beco trying IQ test questions?
"Last night, ti passed too quickly, what’s wrong with that?"
"..." Mr. Su was indeed the one hiding the most!
