On Christmas Day, it snowed again in North City.
Jiang Suchu and Yang Siqiao were busy in the club all day. The show on the party stage was exciting, but Jiang Suchu had no intention of watching it.
Yang Siqiao, who was standing next to him, was amused by the English sketch on the stage and laughed: "Hahaha, watch it, Suisui. I didn't expect the president to be so funny..."
Jiang Suchu clapped his hands symbolically and smiled very perfunctorily.
Yang Siqiao glanced at the mobile phone in her hand and said clearly: "Will your senior come back today?"
Jiang Suichu sighed and slumped his shoulders: "Yeah. When I sent him a message in the afternoon, he was still busy. He probably won't be able to come back."
In the afternoon, Jiang Suichu also took time out of his busy schedule to send birthday wishes to Lu Zhinian. He hurriedly replied with a few words and then went back to work. I haven't sent her a message until now, probably because I'm still busy.
Yang Siqiao could see Jiang Suchu's disappointment, so she slapped her with her shoulder: "Oh, it's okay. You two have celebrated birthdays together since childhood, so you are worthy of this one. When the senior comes back, you can make up for him."
Everyone in the school only knew that she and Lu Zhinian were childhood sweethearts, and they didn't know that they had been separated for ten years.
"Yeah." Jiang Suichu curled his lower lip and did not explain.
Fortunately, today's party was a success and ended successfully at 9:30.
Jiang Suichu and Yang Siqiao were cleaning up the place. The president came over and said, "Sui Sui Siqiao, after you finish cleaning up here, gather in the lobby."
Yang Siqiao wailed: "No, president. We still have work so late."
Jiang Suchu pursed his lower lip and said nothing.
The president looked at the two of them and smiled: "If you don't have work, go out for a big meal."
Yang Siqiao said excitedly: "Have a big dinner?"
The president smiled and nodded: "Everyone has worked hard to prepare for this event during this period. The group invites everyone to have a big dinner. It just so happens that our club hasn't gotten together for a long time. It's Christmas again, so let's get together."
Yang Siqiao jumped up happily: "Long live the president!"
The president smiled, and then looked at Jiang Suichu: "Suisui, do you have an appointment with Mr. Lu today? If so, you don't have to go to the dinner party."
The foreign association president also knew about Jiang Suchu and Lu Zhinian. Today is Christmas, and young lovers usually spend it together.
Jiang Suichu smiled, and before she could speak, Yang Siqiao answered for her: "President, Suisui's boyfriend is still out of town."
The president nodded and said with a smile: "No wonder I haven't seen him come to pick you up in the past two days."
In the past, whenever Jiang Suichu was too late working in the club, Lu Zhinian would definitely come to pick her up.
The president said: "Okay, you clean up first. After cleaning up, go to the lobby to gather."
Jiang Suchu nodded: "Okay, President."
Yang Siqiao: "Bye bye, president."
After the president left, Yang Siqiao pulled Jiang Suichu up and down a few times: "Let's have a big dinner."
Jiang Suchu's arm was shaken by her tug, and she said with some humor: "Hurry up and clean it up."
The place where the community has dinner is a private restaurant not far from the school. The environment is very good and the price is moderate. Many nearby schools will choose to have dinner here.
Perhaps because of the festival, everyone was very active at the dinner table.
Jiang Suichu sat at the dining table, watching the club members holding wine glasses and toasting to the seniors, speaking in a slightly philistine but also childish manner.
At this moment, she seemed to understand the saying that a university is a small society.
Later, although Jiang Suchu tried his best to reduce his presence, he still inevitably drank a few glasses of wine.
Jiang Suichu had never drunk alcohol before, and she already felt a little dizzy after a few drinks. Seeing the president holding a wine glass and starting to toast one by one, Jiang Suichu grabbed Yang Siqiao who was drunk.
"Qiaoqiao, let me go to the toilet first."
Yang Siqiao held a large wine glass in his hand, his face flushed but his expression wise: "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Jiang Suchu shook his head: "No, I can go by myself."
She stood up with her mobile phone and whispered in Yang Siqiao's ear with some worry: "Qiao Qiao, don't drink too much."
Yang Siqiao smiled at her and shook the cup in his hand: "It's just a small amount, it's not a big deal."
Yang Siqiao is a girl from Northeast China. According to her, her father dipped chopsticks in white wine and gave it to her to drink since she was a child.
She boasts that she can never pour a thousand cups, but Jiang Suichu always thought she was bragging. Looking at it today, Yang Siqiao is really not exaggerating.
Jiang Suichu felt a little dizzy and felt a little floaty when he walked. But fortunately she didn't drink much and was still sober.
"Suisui?"
Jiang Suichu walked to the toilet with his head lowered when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
She raised her head and turned to look blankly. After drinking, her brain reaction was a little slow, and for a while she didn't even recognize who it was.
"Wait for me, I meet an acquaintance and say hello." Zhang Yang said hello to his companions and walked over to Jiang Suichu.
Zhang Yang looked at the blush on Jiang Suichu's face and her narrowed eyes, and smiled: "Have you been drinking?"
Jiang Suichu recognized him when the man walked up to him.
She paused and asked, "Brother Yang Yang, why are you here?"
Zhang Yang looked at her and said, "Isn't it Christmas today? Let's have a dinner together in our dormitory."
Jiang Suichu was silent for a long time before he remembered that Zhang Yang was studying at Beicheng Medical University.
"Oh..." Jiang Suichu smiled sheepishly, "I even forgot that you were in the Medical University."
Zhang Yang didn't mind, he just smiled and said, "Come with A Nian?"
"No...no." Jiang Suchu faltered, "It's our community dinner."
Zhang Yang saw her swaying and quickly reached out to hold her arm to steady her: "I drank so much that I can't even stand still."
Jiang Suchu stood firm and shook his head: "I didn't drink much, I just felt a little dizzy."
Zhang Yang looked at her crimson face and frowned: "Does A Nian know you are here?"
Jiang Suichu paused and nodded: "Yes, I have sent him a message."
She was used to telling Lu Zhinian everything. On the way here, she sent a message to Lu Zhinian saying that she would have a dinner with the society.
However, Lu Zhinian didn't reply to her, and she didn't know whether he saw it or not.
Jiang Suichu saw a few people waiting for Zhang Yang at the door. She smiled and said, "Brother Yang Yang, I'll go first..."
She pointed in the direction of the toilet and smiled sheepishly.
Zhang Yang understood, but he was still a little worried: "Are you sure you didn't drink too much? Are you sure you sent a message to A Nian?"
Jiang Suchu nodded funnyly: "Yes! I'm sure."
She smiled and waved to him: "Brother Yang Yang, please go quickly, your friends are still waiting for you."
Jiang Suichu didn't really look like he had drunk too much, at most he was a little shaken.
Zhang Yang looked back at his roommate, then looked at her again: "Then I'll leave first."
"Yes." Jiang Suchu smiled and waved to him, "Bye bye, Brother Yang, and Merry Christmas."
Zhang Yang smiled, raised his hand and rubbed her head: "Merry Christmas."
After saying goodbye to Zhang Yang, Jiang Suichu walked into the toilet cubicle. She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes for a long time before the dizzy feeling in her head dissipated.
When I turned on my phone, there were no calls or messages.
She pouted and took her cell phone to send a message to Lu Zhinian. After drinking, my vision became blurred, and I typed a sentence several times before I typed it correctly.
[Lu Zhinian, have you eaten? 】
One second, two seconds, three seconds...half a minute passed.
He didn't reply.
"Still busy." She murmured softly and sent him another message.
【remember to eat. 】
[Happy birthday and Merry Christmas. 】
After sending the message, Jiang Suchu stared at her phone for a while. She put away her phone and went out before he could reply.
The heating in the hotel is very strong and it is very hot. Coupled with drinking, Jiang Suichu felt that his face was about to burn, and it was frighteningly hot.
She stood in front of the sink and washed her face with cold water before feeling refreshed and her mind clearing up a lot. The cold water dripped down his face. Jiang Suchu took out a few tissues from the side and wiped the water off his face. After wiping it clean, she threw the tissue into the trash can and prepared to go back to the box. When she turned around, she saw Su Suihe walking in.
Jiang Suichu knew that Su Suihe was all because of the school's confession wall, but the two of them had never interacted in private.
She thought it would be okay even if she pretended not to know her, so she planned to leave without saying hello.
But just as the two passed by, Su Suihe suddenly turned around and called her: "Jiang Suichu."
Jiang Suchu paused slightly, turned around and said politely: "Hello, senior sister."
Hearing her calling him senior, Su Suihe sneered and said, "I seem to have heard that you were admitted to University A after repeating your studies, so we should be about the same age."
Jiang Suchu frowned. He called her senior simply because of their level difference and politeness.
She chuckled in her heart and smiled harmlessly with her eyes bent: "I'm sorry, I entered school early when I was a child. So I am younger than others in the same grade. I should be younger than you, senior sister."
Because Pei Shuo was one year older than Lu Zhinian and Jiang Suchu, when Pei Shuo went to kindergarten when he was a child, Jiang Suchu also cried and clamored to go. Jiang Suichu left, and Lu Zhinian had no choice but to go to kindergarten with him.
Therefore, Jiang Suchu and Lu Zhinian have always been more than one year younger than their classmates.
As she spoke, she blinked and looked at her innocently: "Senior, you are in the same class as Lu Zhinian, you should be older than him."
Su Suihe: "……."
She is indeed one year older than Lu Zhinian.
Jiang Suichu looked at her deflated expression, and his mood, which was aggrieved just now because Lu Zhinian didn't reply to the message, instantly improved a lot.
She smiled and her eyes turned into crescent moons: "Senior, if there's nothing else to do, I'll leave first."
Su Suihe: "Wait."
Before she could take two steps, she was stopped by Su Suihe again.
Jiang Suchu became a little impatient. He turned to look at her and said in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "Is there anything else?"
Su Suihe looked at her and asked, "Why didn't you go to Tibet with Lu Zhinian in the first place?"
Jiang Suichu was stunned for a moment. The two of them were not familiar with each other at all. Su Suihe's question was inevitably a bit over the line.
She raised her eyelids and looked at Su Suihe, and said calmly: "Does this have anything to do with you?"
"It really has nothing to do with me." Su Suihe chuckled and walked closer to her, "However, you shouldn't trample on Lu Zhinian's heart just because he loves you."
Jiang Suichu frowned and looked at Su Suihe with some confusion.
Did she trample on Lu Zhinian's heart?
Jiang Suchu felt a little funny: "When did I trample on his heart?"
Su Suihe felt unworthy for Lu Zhinian when she thought about the way she behaved intimately with a boy in the hall just now.
Su Suihe clenched her palms and tried her best to control her emotions: "He went to Tibet because of you, right?"
Jiang Suchu looked directly at her and responded calmly: "Yes! What's wrong?"
Su Suihe looked at the proud expression on her face and said with a sarcastic smile: "You really feel confident in being favored."
Jiang Suchu frowned: "What do you mean?"
Su Suihe probably drank too, and her face was a little red. She smelled of alcohol and said, "Have you ever seen Lu Zhinian cry?"
Jiang Suchu was startled for a moment, and Lu Zhinian blushed in front of him.
But crying...she had never seen it before.
Su Suihe looked at Jiang Suichu's stunned look and sneered: "I was in Tibet at that time, and he received a phone call when he saw the sun shining on Jinshan Mountain. Then I watched helplessly as such a proud man slowly fell to his knees and covered his head. Cry until your shoulders shake with a sullen face.”
Su Suihe's heart trembles now when she thinks of that scene.
That day, everyone thought they would no longer be able to see the sun shining on the Golden Mountain. Just as they were preparing to go down the mountain, the clouds gradually dispersed, and the golden sunshine shone on the top of the snow-capped mountain.
For a moment, everyone was cheering.
Su Suihe was also very excited. She smiled and went to look for the boy who was carpooling with them. I saw him holding his mobile phone and looking quietly at the snow-capped mountains opposite.
She walked over slowly, wanting to stand next to him and feel this moment with him. She saw Lu Zhinian's shoulders gradually shaking, as if he was crying.
Then, she watched him raise his hands to cover his face, sobbing heartily and slowly kneeling down in the snow.
It was an extremely humble gesture, with his knees kneeling in the snow that had been trampled into muddy water, his shoulders trembling.
Su Suihe looked at Jiang Suichu with red eyes: "I don't know what you said to him on the phone that day. But, since you have hurt him, why did you make him wait for you for another year?"
Jiang Suchu looked at her with a lump in his throat.
She didn't make the call, but she probably knew why Lu Zhinian cried when he received the call.
Because that day, she woke up.
Su Suihe looked at the tears in Jiang Suichu's eyes and sneered: "In the past year, how many girls who are better than you have liked him. But he won't even look at him, and he always uses the excuse of having a girlfriend. Rejecting confessions from girls one after another.”
"He has been waiting for you, but what about you? Have you visited him once in a year? Where were you when he celebrated his birthday?"
As he spoke, tears fell from Su Suihe's eyes: "If I remember correctly, today is his birthday."
Jiang Suchu looked at her and said nothing.
Su Suihe looked at her eyes that always looked at people innocently, and twitched the corner of her mouth mockingly: "Jiang Suichu, do you really love him?"
Jiang Suchu took a breath, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and looked at her coldly: "Are you done?"
Su Suihe looked at her calm eyes and paused.
Her indifferent look was so similar to Lu Zhinian's.
Jiang Suichu didn't wait for her answer, and continued: "You don't know what Lu Zhinian and I have experienced together, so none of you are in a position to say this in front of me."
"You..." Su Suihe gritted her teeth, feeling that she was a little ignorant.
Jiang Suchu narrowed his eyes and interrupted her: "You like Lu Zhinian."
Not a question, but a statement.
Su Suihe never intended to hide her feelings. She admitted generously: "Yes, I like him."
Jiang Suichu smiled lightly: "He is very good, and there are many people who like him. However, not everyone will be like you, coming to me under the guise of thinking about him and saying these things that make me feel sorry for him. Take this opportunity To sow discord between us."
Su Suihe was startled for a moment, her eyes evasive: "I didn't!"
Jiang Suichu looked at her guilty look and taunted her lips: "Senior sister, you just said that you are confident in being favored. I admit that I am indeed the favored one in this relationship."
She raised her chin, lazily raised her eyelids and looked at her proudly: "But all my bad tempers are the result of Lu Zhinian's hard work."
"So..." Jiang Suchu paused and looked at her with a harmless smile, "...that's why I am so confident."
Su Suihe looked at Jiang Suichu's proud expression and secretly gritted his teeth.
Jiang Suchu stopped laughing, looked her up and down, then turned and left.
When she walked to the bathroom door, she stopped and turned to look at Su Suihe: "But thank you, senior, for telling me this today."
Otherwise, she would never know how much sourness Lu Zhinian's words of 'It doesn't matter' brought out.
