Chapter 35: The Whole World
"Xiaoxiao!"
As soon as she got out of the car and heard someone calling her, Su Xiaoxiao turned around.
After more than two months of not seeing her, Jennifer has lost noticeably and her hair is shoulder-length. Although he was wearing makeup, he still couldn't hide the deep dark circles under his eyes and a slightly pale face, and he felt as if he was recovering from a serious illness.
"Hi Zhenzhen!"
Su Xiaoxiao changed the gift bag in her right hand to her left arm and hung it, and waved her hand to Jennifer, "Long time no see~"
"yes, long time no see."
Jennifer sighed softly.
is very different from the lively and sunny her before, Su Xiaoxiao pondered for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Zhenzhen, are you okay?" Do you have a cold? ”
"Ah, it's fine."
Jennifer pretended to be okay and waved her hand, but the expression on her face froze for a moment, and her eyes were slightly red, "Maybe I've had something happen recently, and I'm in a bad mood." ”
After all, it was Jennifer's private matter, she didn't open her mouth, and Su Xiaoxiao didn't ask much, nodded, took her hand and shook it back and forth a few times, "Then if you need my help, just ask, as long as I can help, I will help!" ”
Jennifer stood quietly in place and didn't speak, lowered her head and looked at the snow on the ground in a daze, kicked unconsciously with her toes, and suddenly spoke, "Xiaoxiao, are you free tonight?" Can you chat with me? ”
Su Xiaoxiao originally planned to go home and call Anne, but seeing Jennifer like this, she couldn't bear to refuse, "Well, okay." ”
Then he sent a message to Anne and told her that she was expected to call later.
The two picked a Japanese-style coffee shop near the school and found a window seat to sit down. Su Xiaoxiao asked for a cup of black tea latte and an omelet rice, and Jennifer only ordered a cup of clear coffee and a random salad, without even opening the menu.
"Shino," after a pause for a few minutes, Jennifer spoke with difficulty, "Actually, at Christmas, I... Frank and I broke up. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes were red again.
"Huh?"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't react for a while, and she didn't know how to answer.
"Well," Jennifer looked up at the chandelier, holding back tears, "he went to France for an exchange, and broke up with me before leaving. You say the reason is ridiculous. ”
Jennifer chuckled coldly, "He told me firmly that a long-distance relationship will not last long, and that long-term pain is better than short-term pain." ”
Sitting opposite seemed to be an unknown girl, depressed, lonely, and her eyes were full of sadness. Su Xiaoxiao slowly spoke, "Isn't there only one semester for the exchange?" Don't you just have to survive these three months to be together again? ”
"It's not that simple."
The waiter interrupted Jennifer with her coffee. After the waiter left, she took a sip of the coffee and continued, "He told me several times before that his parents wanted him to go back to China directly after graduation to take over their business, and then let me go back with him." Besides, he is a year older than me, a senior this year, and seeing that he will graduate in a few months, he always urges me to give answers. But my family wants me to work in Canada for a while and then go back, and I want to experience more. We've had a couple of arguments about it. ”
Jennifer said a long list of words, and Su Xiaoxiao finally understood what the reason was.
"I see."
Su Xiaoxiao picked up the black tea latte in front of him and took a sip, the warm coffee flowed down his throat into his body, Su Xiaoxiao felt that his cold hands had a little intuition, "Then you guys, are you still in touch now?" ”
Jennifer looked out the window coldly, her eyes were cold, as if there was no temperature, "I went to the bar alone when we first broke up, and I couldn't help but call him when I was drunk. At first, he answered," Jennifer sighed softly, "and after a while he started school, he didn't answer my phone calls very much, and he always replied to me perfunctorily after a long time. ”
Jennifer's jaw trembled slightly as she desperately held back tears, "But I'm cheap, and the more he doesn't answer my calls, the more I miss him." And then I kept fighting, knowing that he wouldn't pick up, I kept playing. I kept calling until my phone ran out of battery, I drank until it broke, and finally I was sent home by a friend. ”
Tears couldn't stop sliding from the corners of his eyes, like opening the floodgates, and he couldn't stop. Su Xiaoxiao panicked, so she had to stuff tissues for Jennifer one by one, "Zhenzhen, don't cry, our conditions are so good, there is no shortage of Frank, you will definitely meet a better one in the future." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm a little out of control, I didn't scare you."
After crying for a few minutes, Jennifer calmed down a little, "I know all of this, but I've been with him since high school..."
Speaking of this, Jennifer couldn't help sobbing again, "I've been with him since high school, five years. The university we chose together, the essays we changed together, and he handed in my application for me. Now...", Jennifer thumped her chest, "and now I feel like my heart is half gone, and I'm panicking." "Maybe I'll never be able to fall in love with someone again like I love Frank." ”
Outside the window, the university town is brightly lit, and couples come and go on the road laughing and chatting. In the depths of love, there are people who are not afraid of the cold of winter, stop under the street lamps and hug each other and whisper.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Jennifer opposite, and had mixed feelings in her heart.
Jennifer and Frank were a little awkward when they first met, but they quickly reconciled as if they were wearing a pair of pants. Then it was at the ski resort, and Frank held Jennifer's hand tightly to teach her how to ski, for fear that if she was not careful, she would fall and hurt. She couldn't have guessed that such good two people would come to the point where they would end up scattering.
The world is unpredictable.
Jennifer followed Su Xiaoxiao's line of sight and looked out the window, "When I was in high school, I thought that if I had him, I would have the whole world. But now, I have lost him, and even if I exchange it for the whole world, I can't get it back. Shinoshio. ”
Jennifer looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was thoughtful.
"Huh?"
"You have to have your own world. Don't expect so much from others like I do, and end up in vain. ”
"Hmm."
"You must meet someone who is willing to give up the whole world for you."
Accompany Jennifer in the coffee shop until Su Xiaoxiao forgot the time, and waited until she finished venting, Su Xiaoxiao personally sent her home, comforted her a few more words, and then returned to the dormitory with confidence.
Taking out the gift from the gift bag for Yan Yimo in the afternoon, Su Xiaoxiao gently stroked the gift box and muttered, Can you be the whole world worthy of my reliance?
