Chapter 1000: You Never Loved Me Enough (10)
Su Weiyi knew she had hurt Sheng Yanxiao, because after that night, she hadn’t seen Sheng Yanxiao until the end of the final exams.
She only learned from Miss Tang that Sheng Yanxiao went to the United States on the day he finished his exams.
Su Weiyi returned to Lake Bay Villa for the holidays and every time she went back to her room, she couldn’t help but look at the tightly shut door.
Since that night, they hadn’t contacted each other. Countless times, Su Weiyi picked up her phone, pulling up Sheng Yanxiao’s number, but her finger always froze in mid-air, unable to make the call.
She was the one who gave up on him first, so what right did she have to seek him out again?
Though she hadn’t explicitly given up, wasn’t her avoidance a form of abandonment?
Su Weiyi curled up in bed, even quieter than before.
In the scorching summer of B City, Su Weiyi’s heart seemed trapped in a perpetual winter. Chen Ajia and Su Man invited her to go out and were all rejected. She wanted to stay here and hope that before she left, she might see him once more, if he cared to.
Su Weiyi knew that all her sadness now was self-inflicted.
If she didn’t think so much, if she didn’t worry so much, she could now be happily nestled in Sheng Yanxiao’s embrace, watching her young man, sometimes mature, sometimes childish.
But, what makes people human is because they have a mind.
They could enjoy fleeting happiness, but what about the future?
The difference between grown-ups and children is that adults think about the future, consider consequences, while children only care about whether they are happy at the moment.
Su Weiyi thought that no matter what, Sheng Yanxiao would make an appearance before her departure, but she was disappointed. Until the day before her flight, when Miss Tang was confirming her baggage one last time, she was still complaining: "That kid Yanxiao is too much! Your sister is about to leave, and he still doesn’t return. I really wonder what’s out there enticing him so much."
Su Weiyi just smiled, but there was no genuine joy in her eyes.
Taking her to the airport were Mr. Sheng and Miss Tang. Before her departure, Mr. Sheng handed Su Weiyi a business card, which listed the contact of the Shengshi Group’s branch manager in the United Kingdom.
Though the Sheng Family could provide Su Weiyi with the best material conditions, Mr. Sheng, who always pampered her, was still a bit worried about her, a young woman alone in a foreign country. He had already arranged everything with the contacts there, so Su Weiyi could reach out if she encountered any issues.
Su Weiyi took the card, held it tightly, and after a hug with them, turned around to walk toward customs.
In the last second before passing through, Su Weiyi looked back at the bustling airport hall, but aside from her waving parents, there was no familiar figure.
Su Weiyi lowered her gaze and turned to walk in.
She didn’t know that behind a nearby pillar, not too far from her, stood a defiant young man, his eyes red as he watched the customs entrance, his hands clenched tightly at his sides.
Sheng Yanxiao’s lips were tightly pursed. She had said she would let him know when she was leaving, but until today, he hadn’t received a word, no call, no message, nothing at all.
Very well, Weiwei, you’ve broken your word again.
Sheng Yanxiao turned sideways, leaning back against the pillar, his eyes tightly shut, head raised, but still unable to hold back the tears sliding down his cheeks.
Since he became aware, Sheng Yanxiao hadn’t cried. The tears ran down his face and into his mouth, and the young man moved his lips.
Damn, it’s fucking salty!
