C125 (1/2)
Looking at the crying Su Nuannuan, Chen Xue's eyes were filled with pain. She did not know what sorrowful things Su Nuannuan was hiding in his heart, nor did she want to ask. If Su Nuannuan was not ready to say it, then asking him was equivalent to tearing apart other people's wounds. She did not want to do such a cruel thing.
Su Nuannuan cried for a good while, then slowly stopped. Chen Xue took out a tissue on the table and passed it to her, and Su Nuannuan took it to wipe the tears off his face. He looked at the wet clothes in front of Chen Xue's chest with a bit of embarrassment.
”Master, I'm sorry, I've dirtied your clothes!”
Chen Xue lowered his head and looked, then laughed and shook his head, ”It's fine, it's you, on the other hand, who feels better now?”
”En, I feel much better now. Master, I'm sorry for making you laugh. I'm already so old, and yet I'm still crying like a three year old child!”
Seeing Su Nuannuan's red face and lowered head, Chen Xue lovingly reached out and caressed her head, ”Silly child, so what if you're old? Don't adults have the right to grieve? ”If you're happy, then laugh. If you're sad, then cry. If you're angry, then rage. Don't keep everything in your heart. After suppressing your emotions for so long, how can you bear it?”
Su Nuannuan nodded, he raised his head and smiled at Chen Xue, his eyes that had been washed away by the tears, flashed like the stars in the sky.
”Teacher, I feel much better after crying so much, thank you!”
”My heart is comfortable. My clothes are not dirty. Alright, hurry up and wipe your tears. You should go home early. Eating delicious food tonight can be considered as a consolation!”
Su Nuannuan nodded her head heavily, the buns that she had eaten before the discussion had already been digested to god knows where, and now she was so hungry that her chest was close to her back.
Just as Su Nuannuan was about to get up to take her leave, the phone in her pocket rang. She condemned herself and quickly took out the phone that was ringing non-stop.
”Is your discussion not over yet? It's almost 7 o'clock! ” Tang Yifeng's voice that carried a trace of dissatisfaction came out from the phone.
Su Nuannuan subconsciously looked at the time on his watch, and it was true, ”It's already over, I'll be back soon.
Only now did Su Nuannuan remember that when she went out at noon today, she even invited Tang Yifeng to dinner together with her.
”I'll wait for you at the school gate. You'll see me the moment you step out of the school gate!”
”In front of the school?”
Su Nuannuan was shocked. Why did he come to school? When he sent her here today at noon, it was already quite a sensation, making all the students that saw her think that her family was rich. She didn't want to cause another commotion.
”Don't wait at the school gate, I might need more time. I'll go back by myself later!”
”Since I'm here, you aren't asking me to come here for nothing, right?”
”Then... ”Then park the car away from here and don't let anyone see it. Your car is too eye-catching, I don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble!”
”Trouble?” Tang Yifeng could not understand, he was only here to pick someone up, how did he end up in trouble?
He could only say, ”Then I'll wait at the mall on the left side of the school. You can come directly here to get on the car, but if you can't find me, then give me a call!”
”Alright!”
Seeing that Su Nuannuan had agreed, Tang Yifeng did not say much. He only told her to keep it warm when she goes out, and remember to put on her scarf, and hung up the phone.
However, Chen Xue, who was sitting across from him, heard something unusual from this phone call. But when Su Nuannuan finished his conversation, she asked very appropriately and only laughed, ”It seems that you have an appointment behind your back, so I won't keep you any longer. Go back quickly!”
Seeing the smile on Chen Xue's face, Su Nuannuan felt a little embarrassed, ”Master, it's actually not a date, I …”
Chen Xue waved his hands, ”It doesn't matter if it's a date or not, the important thing is that someone is waiting for you outside the school, right? Making people wait for you is not a polite thing, you should hurry up, since I have nothing important to do here, and you just need to look for me anyway. Although I can't guarantee that I can help you, but at least I have someone to help you share your emotions, right?”
Chen Xue's warm words once again made Su Nuannuan want to cry. Aside from Tang Yifeng, it had been so many years since there was anyone else who would say such a thing to her, and Tang Yifeng was a man after all. These kind of warm words, were not something that he could say.
Words can be a sharp knife, hurting people in asexual form, just as they are the best medicine for healing wounds in the heart.
Su Nuannuan thanked her, and after bidding her farewell with a hug, he walked out of the academy with the few books that Chen Xue had given her.
On the way out of the office building, the students who had heard of her rumours all paid their attention to her. Some of them even went up to greet her while the others whispered to each other. When she looked over, they quickly looked away.
