The Aftermath of Having Slept with the Villain - Chapter 281: Her deskmate (39)

World Eight. Her deskmate (39)

Su Xiangnan and Xue Xue didn’t end up going to the same university, but in the same city. The two universities were only one block apart, less than fifteen minutes away.

Xue Jiahui and Huang Mei were very satisfied with the result. When they heard the news that Su Xiangnan got into a medical university, they felt that their daughter’s previous grades which made her admitted to one of the top five universities in the country, was because of the help of Su Xiangnan, her deskmate.

Therefore, Huang Mei, who was distressed by Su Xiangnan’s life experience, asked her daughter to bring him to their home more often.

As long as he has the heart, Su Xiangnan can win over the elders easily.

That period of time was the happiest day in Su Xiangnan’s life so far.

The Xue family was not rich. Xue Jiahui and Huang Mei usually have to go to work, but it was a real home. From the moment he stepped into the door of the Xue family, smelled the aroma of rice and vegetables, heard Xue Jiahui’s greetings as if it were a bell, and saw Huang Mei’s warm and kind smile, Su Xiangnan’s nose turned sour and he wanted to cry.

He hadn’t cried for a long time.

Ever since Su Lin brought him to “escape” from the house he once thought was his home in an awkward manner, Su Xiangnan seemed to have forgotten the feeling of crying.

Even when he learned that Su Lin’s condition was deteriorating and his life was almost overwhelmed by a large sum of medical expenses, Su Xiangnan had many dark thoughts and bad emotions in his mind, but he didn’t cry.

To Su Xiangnan, it was a luxurious emotion that was very far away from him.

Often, people drop tears because they have the weight of pearls, because someone will feel heartache for them, feel reluctant to give up, but Su Xiangnan did not have this right. As the only pillar of the family, he could not let Su Lin worry, could not show vulnerability, must be aware every moment, and play the role that he should play.

Over time, he got used to it.

“Why are you standing at the door?”

Xue Xue came downstairs immediately after hearing Xue Jiahui’s loud voice.

When she saw Su Xiangnan, she greeted him with a smile and naturally took the boy’s hand.

Unexpectedly it was cold.

Xue Xue looked out the window at the sun hanging high in the blue sky between the white clouds, her footsteps stopped, she turned her head and asked him in a whisper, “What happened? I don’t think you’re in good shape.” She asked, and Su Xiangnan blinked back from his daze.

As if in awe, he shook his head.

“No, I’m just…” He paused, seemingly weighing the words, and frowned because he couldn’t find the precise words to describe, and finally smiled bitterly, “I don’t know, it seems that there is a sudden …the feeling of finally coming home after a long time.”

Xue Xue was taken aback.

After a brief silence, she seemed to understand what Su Xiangnan meant.

The emotion that flooded her heart in an instant, she didn’t know whether it was distressed, sad, or both, Xue Xue’s heart throbbed with excitement and ache.

“It’s okay.” After being quiet for a while, she grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly. “From now on, I will be your family, and my family will be your family.”

Working part-time during the day, visiting Su Lin in the hospital after the part-time job, and then going to Xue Xue’s house to have dinner with them, for Su Xiangnan , this was almost like the life of a god.

He secretly hoped that these days would go on from now until a long, long time later.

However, the peaceful life was eventually to be broken.

Su Lin’s physical condition was like an unexploded bomb, that suddenly caught Su Xiangnan off guard when he had been relaxing.

In the middle of the night, the hospital’s emergency building was still brightly lit, and when Xue Xue arrived, she saw Su Xiangnan sitting on a bench outside the operating room, in an exhausted state.

“Su Xiangnan.”

Hearing Xue Xue’s voice, Su Xiangnan, who had buried his face in his hands, slowly stood up.

He raised his head and looked in the direction Xue Xue had come from, but his eyes blinked in confusion.

There was a snap in Xue Xue’s heart.

When she got closer, she realized that the boy’s vision was slack and out of focus. The dark eyeballs were like thick ink spilled on a white cloth. The heavy colors were layered on top of each other, densely blocking all voids that may allow light to pass through.

“Are you… are you okay?”

How could he be okay? Xue Xue wanted to slap herself immediately after she asked this sentence.

Unexpectedly, Su Xiangnan answered obediently.

“Okay.”

Xue Xue looked at him.

The boy’s thick eyelashes were like two small fans, flatly attached to the edge of the eyelids, lining a pair of black deep pupils. When his face was expressionless, there was a cold calmness like a winter plum growing on the top of a snow mountain , even if it bloomed brightly and beautifully, it also gave people a sense of alienation that was unattainable.

But Xue Xue knew that it was just his protective look.

Sitting down beside Su Xiangnan, Xue Xue turned her head and looked at him calmly.

The boy’s long legs had no place to rest, forming an open posture, but his whole body was shrunk in the middle, and his broad shoulders collapsed as if they could no longer bear any more weight.

Xue Xue suddenly cupped his face and made him face her.

Su Xiangnan probably knew how bad he looked, so he struggled.

“Don’t be afraid.”

The two light words carried a magical power that made him unable to resist.

“Let me look at you.”

The gentle gaze was substantive, from the black hair that had not been taken care of after being blown by the wind, to the forehead where a little bead of sweat stuck on it, Su Xiangnan’s eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were dry, Xue Xue also noticed that he was trembling.

The slight amplitude, like a tremble because of an electric shock.

Xue Xue slowly let go of her hands.

Before Su Xiangnan could feel saddened by the loss of warmth, he felt the girl’s arm pass through the back of his neck in the next second, followed by a force that made him fall onto Xue Xue’s shoulder without any resistance.

At that moment, Su Xiangnan heard the sound of the mask resting on his face breaking.

“It’s okay.” Gently patting Su Xiangnan’s arm with her right hand, Xue Xue coaxed him in a gentle tone, “Cry if you want to.”

If you want to cry, cry.

My shoulder is here for you to lean on.
