Chapter 267: Her deskmate (28)
World Eight. Her deskmate (28)
"Su Xiangnan."
"It's okay."
Xue Xue repeated these two sentences, her soft voice was like notes struck by a pianist's fingertips, perseveringly piercing into Su Xiangnan's ears.
He was sweating unconsciously.
Even though the weather was so cold, but he looked like he had just finished playing in the sun. Thin beads of sweat rushed out of his pores from his forehead, cheeks, and neck.
Although there was a towering wall to cover the cold winter wind, the temperature was less than ten degrees, Xue Xue was afraid that Su Xiangnan would catch a cold if he stayed here, so she helped Su Xiangnan up with all her strength.
"Can you? Come, put your arm on my shoulder." Xue Xue pulled Su Xiangnan's hand around her neck as she said. "Let's go home first, shall we?"
Su Xiangnan nodded.
After gradually recovering from his despair, Su Xiangnan also gradually regained his strength.
He felt that he was quite useless.
But what he has to admit was that the feeling of being protected and supported by someone was really good.
However, they didn't go straight home.
Xue Xue went to the convenience store and bought two cups of hot coffee, one of which was given to Su Xiangnan.
They randomly found an empty seat and sat down.
"Sorry." Su Xiangnan said hoarsely after receiving the hot coffee from Xue Xue. "I just lost my composure."
"Huh? Why did you say sorry?" Hearing this, Xue Xue's long eyelashes moved slightly, her almond eyes widened slightly, and then she lowered her eyelids. "Even if you want to say sorry, it should be me to say it."
Su Xiangnan was taken aback.
"Those things should be your scars."
"Opening other people's scars is a very unethical thing. My mother told me so." Xue Xue opened the cup lid. "So it's me who should say sorry to you, not you who should say sorry to me."
Her tone was too serious.
So serious that Su Xiangnan laughed.
After the laughter came out of his throat, even his chest trembled.
He didn't know when the pent-up anger that had accumulated in his chest seemed to have found a breakthrough, and he let it out to his heart's content.
Even the shopkeeper couldn't help but give them a look.
Xue Xue also laughed along with him, finally heaving a sigh of relief.
In fact, until just now, Xue Xue was nervous. After all, Su Xiangnan's state was really worrying, as if he had lost his soul. he was obviously right next to him, but his spirit was nowhere to be found.
Luckily, he seemed to be much more normal now.
Although it was a bit regrettable that she couldn't solve Su Xiangnan's inner demons this time, Xue Xue also knew that there was no rush for this matter, besides, the matter was more complicated than she had originally guessed.
The line between victim and perpetrator was blurred, even if it was not intended, the fact remained.
All the reasons would just sound like excuses.
"I think"
"I think I should be braver."
Su Xiangnan spoke before Xue Xue did.
Swallowing the comforting words that twirled around on the tip of her tongue, Xue Xue looked at Su Xiangnan, the boy's handsome profile was blurred by the steam from the hot coffee, even so, his eyebrows and eyes were still clear and sharp, with a clean, youthful spirit.
Perhaps because of the sweat just now, Su Xiangnan's face was paler than usual. Under the lighting of the incandescent lamp, it looked like a fragile product, so delicate that she couldn't pick out even a single flaw.
"I can't go back to the past and change those mistakes, but I think I can work hard in the future to avoid making the same mistakes again."
Su Xiangnan said slowly, and Xue Xue listened quietly.
Did he really do anything wrong? At that time, he was just a child who didn't understand anything, believed in his mother, and still had admiration for his father. He listened to Su Lin's words, and treated the woman on the other end of the phone who didn't know his identity, as if he was standing on the class podium. Was there anything wrong with introducing himself?
Lin Youfeng who cheated was wrong, and Su Lin who meddled in other people's marriages was wrong, but an ignorant child, a child with no malice, can his unintentional mistakes really be called mistakes?
Even Xue Xue didn't know the answer to the question, or the question itself had no answer.
"I've actually always known, and I've never forgotten."
"Lin Zhi was right when he said that I was a coward, pretending to be strong on the surface, but on the inside I was just a coward who chose to run away even though I knew there was a better decision."
"I don t have the courage to honestly face the past, I'm afraid everyone will say one day look, Su Xiangnan is not that good at all, he is just an illegitimate child who killed another child." Su Xiangnan tightened his grip on the paper cup . "Rather than being exposed in such an embarrassing way, it's better"
It might as well be insignificant, Su Xiangnan didn't say it clearly, but it was not hard to guess from the results.
Including what Lin Zhi said to Su Xiangnan when he went to the hospital room to find Su Xiangnan.
People have pride.
"Xue Xue." Suddenly, Su Xiangnan called her, "I seem to have something I haven't said to you" "
"Huh?" Xue Xue was holding a hot coffe cup and her whole self looked a bit lazy like a cat. "What is it?"
The boy turned his head and looked at her.
"I love you." Under Xue Xue's uncertain gaze, he suddenly lowered his head. "And thank you."
When he said that, a light kiss was planted on her forehead.
