Chapter 158: Birthday Wish (4)

Standing in front of the high school again, Su Qiuzi was still a little bit absent-minded, as if she was carrying her backpack to school today.

The school only opened in September, currently there were only a few rows of street lights on the entire school grounds, leaving the school buildings and other buildings all dark. But there was a small commercial street in front of the school, which not only served the students, but also the teachers and residents around the school, so even though it was a holiday, they were not closed.

Su Qiuzi entered the kiosk and spoke to the grandfather who was watching the news feed to buy a Kong Ming lantern. Teenage girls in high school had an extraordinarily high demand for such romantic things, so besides Kongming lanterns, there was everything here including fireworks sticks and glow sticks.

After taking the Kong Ming lantern, the grandfather looked up at Su Qiuzi and said, “You used to be a student here, right?”

She’d been out of high school for more than four years and didn’t think that the grandpa would remember, but she smiled and said, “Yes, I did.”

“I suddenly noticed it from the voice.” The grandpa smiled, full of kindness, “You have a particularly nice voice, I remember you used to come over all the time to buy pencils and books, not to buy candy and snacks like the other little girls.”

Seeing the girl smile, the grandpa looked at the man beside her and smiled, “Is this your husband?”

He Yu faintly smiled, nodded and said, “Yes.”

“It doesn’t look quite the same as before.” The grandpa muttered, but finally, he took a closer look and realized that it was not the same person.

Su Qiuzi, on the other hand, had already pulled He Yu away.

What the grandpa had just said spread a layer of silence between the two. The two of them walked to a park not far away, the park paths were dark and secluded, with crowds of people walking back and forth to enjoy the cool air. When they reached a bench, they sat down, but Su Qiuzi took a cautious glance at He Yu, who smiled lightly at her gaze.

“Is it the man from today’s noon?”

Should He Yu never meet Luo Fan for the rest of his life, then Su Qiuzi would never want to tell He Yu about her and Luo Fan’s story. It’s not that she’s afraid that having such a relationship might cause He Yu to feel uncomfortable, it’s just that the story of her and Luo Fan was too heartbreaking and she ended up too miserable, she’s afraid that He Yu would pity her after she told it.

She didn’t want anyone to pity her, not wagging her tail and begging for pity was her last backbone that she had.

But since they’ve already met, Su Qiuzi also wouldn’t conceal it, after all, between husband and wife, it’s necessary to speak openly, but also to avoid all kinds of suspicions. Between her and He Yu, she had always been open and honest.

“No.” Su Qiuzi said, “It’s my one-sided love, and I was rejected when I confessed to him.”

This matter actually had to start with Qiu Xixi.

Qiu Xixi was being bullied by a few girls at the time, she went up to help out because of the school violence in her elementary school, eventually those girls held a grudge against her and then prepared to retaliate against her.

A high school student would be disgusting to retaliate against. At sixteen or seventeen years old, being underage and not legally responsible, Su Qiuzi was terribly abused. Once when she was surrounded by people in the schoolyard, Luo Fan stepped in to save her. Out of the mentality of clinging to a strong man to protect herself, Su Qiuzi bought Luo Fan dinner to get on good terms with him. And this was exactly Luo Fan’s trap, he was trying to get her to come to him.

Luo Fan was protective of her and gave her a lot of warmth she had never experienced before, the emotions of teenage girls were pure and beautiful, Su Qiuzi felt that she had met someone who could save her from the misery, after all, Luo Fan’s kindness to her was something she had never experienced before when she grew up. The happiest thing she did every week was to see Luo Fan waiting for her to come in with her at the school gate.

She fell in love with Luo Fan.
