Chapter Twenty-Three: Hibiscus's Heartbreak
Su Mu'an walked slowly towards the dormitory building, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Yue Yang standing at the door holding a large bouquet of roses.
The other party also saw her, so she had to nod politely to say hello.
Yue Yang smiled at her very generously: "Beauty, is Hibiscus in the dormitory?" ”
"I'm sleeping."
At this time, Su Muan knew that they should have quarreled!
"No wonder she doesn't answer my calls. Then you can help me carry the flowers. ”
Su Mu'an nodded, stretched out her hand to take the flower handed over by Yue Yang, but she didn't expect her to grasp it, but the other party didn't let go.
"I hope she doesn't get mad at me. It's the first time in my life that I'm standing downstairs holding a flower stupidly, and if she doesn't appreciate it, I'll stop doing it. ”
Su Mu'an let go and took a step back, away from the handsome face, and said, "Then I'll hurry upstairs and ask her to come down and take a look." ”
She was about to leave, but Yue Yang said faintly behind her back, "You are really the most boring girl I have ever seen." ”
Su Muan looked at such a man, stomped on something angrily, turned around and swiped the card to enter the door.
"Do you want to learn from a cold beauty, you don't have enough paragraphs, and you still need to practice again to make good use of what you want to capture, and now it's not okay."
She burst out laughing, and said without looking back, "Who wants to get away with it?" ”
After Mu Hibiscus sent those little three and four children to the bed, it would always lie on the bed and cry bitterly, which was too strong a contrast with the arrogance and complacency that Yue Yang boasted of being among the thousands of flowers just now, and Su Mu'an's heart felt a little bitter.
After all, I paid by mistake
Su Muan returned to the dormitory and woke up Mu Hibiscus, and before he finished speaking, Mu Hibiscus lifted the quilt and rushed down the ladder on his knees, standing barefoot in front of the messy table looking for facial cleanser.
"Oh, by the way," Hibiscus pointed to Su Mu'an's desk, "When I came back last night, I saw your letter in the mailbox, so I brought it for you." ”
Su Mu'an picked up the two new envelopes from his desk, there was no sender's address, and the three words "Su Mu'an" in the recipient's column were written very handsomely.
It could only be Bai Susu.
Bai Susu was one of the few classmates who was familiar with Su Mu'an in high school, and when he was studying at the famous Peking University School of International Politics in Beicheng, he suddenly decided to drop out and retake the college entrance examination as an art student. This decision shook almost everyone.
"Everyone" does not include Su Muan. The two of them cut off contact in their freshman year, and if it weren't for a letter from Bai Susu, she might never have known about her withdrawal from school.
She is always so lonely and unheard, and she doesn't even know the big news of "Zheng Xue likes Shen Liunian" like "everyone in the whole school looks at my jokes".
Bai Susu returned to life as a high school student, not in the studio, but in the classroom, with little access to the Internet, so she fell in love with China Post — although Su Mu'an couldn't understand why she didn't just text directly. Most of the letters were scribbles on Bai Susu's desk during class, and she may feel lonely, or maybe she just passed the time. There was no important topic in the letter, and it was short.
The two letters were separated by more than a week. Su Muan didn't have the habit of looking at the mailbox, so the first letter was aggrieved and lay in the mailroom downstairs for a week.
You know? Today, the geography teacher actually made a copy of the part of the regional land improvement in your notebook and sent it to the class. What a person who ignores intellectual copyright.
There is only one sentence on the calculus paper.
Stamps can't be cheaper.
Su Mu'an picked up the second letter with cramps at the corner of his mouth, and opened it randomly, there was still only a piece of calculus paper inside, with a letter on one side and a mess of analytical equations on the other.
Su Mu'an, only for you and I will use this kind of calculus paper that I grabbed casually to write letters, anyway, you don't care, it's really money-saving. Everyone else writes to me on beautiful hardboard letterhead, but I haven't even seen your calculus, and you've never thought of replying to a letter to me?
To be honest, I'm curious to know, in your heart, did you ever care about us people?
I really want to know.
You're so similar to another person I know, you're so indifferent to everyone that it makes me feel like I never existed; That person is very kind to everyone, so good that I misunderstand that this is love. I don't know if you really think that other people don't care, but I know that that person really doesn't love me.
She froze for a few seconds and read the letter again.
After not receiving a reply for a long time, Bai Susu was finally annoyed.
Su Muan really wanted to ask, what are the "us" that he doesn't care about?
Bai Susu soaks in fiction magazines every day, but as long as he works a little harder, his grades can remain in the top ten of the class, and his popularity is excellent, and he is exquisite, whether it is a good student like Su Mu'an, or even the gossip and poisonous hibiscus, Bai Susu can make a confidant with them and listen to the complex feelings of others.
Su Muan rarely said anything to her. Although they would take the initiative to greet her and symbolically complain to her about things like "math problems are difficult to do" and "the history teacher is sick with so many papers", the two of them could also stop by every day to go home. Many people regard Bai Susu as one of Su Mu'an's rare friends - but she is not, both of them know it in their hearts.
Fill in the application form with the best major and school she can choose with her grades, and Bai Susu will definitely be able to enjoy college from now on, and in the new world of college, she will definitely be much better than a nerd like Su Mu'an - everyone thinks so, until Bai Susu inexplicably drops out of school to learn to paint.
On that day, Bai Susu wrote the first letter to Su Mu'an, and Su Mu'an learned about this well-known news. Her letter was full of grievances and confusion, and her tone was desperate as if Su Mu'an was the only lifeline in her spiritual world.
Of course, there is also a little hidden secret: "I think I can finally prove that I am not running away from anything or mocking anything, although he may not wait for my proof." ”
But Su Mu'an studied the meaning of this sentence carefully. This kind of deliberately exposed tail never aroused her interest.
Compassion and her appreciation for Bai Susu's smart brain made Su Mu'an write back to her. There are only two sentences.
Keep it up. I salute your choice.
What is done cannot be undone. She dropped out of school, and she still pointed at her and said that you shouldn't do this or that, which is really a very immoral behavior. What's more, Su Mu Anxin hopes that this smart head who can get by can bravely fight for his dreams.
She didn't expect that Bai Susu would like to write to her from then on, although she never replied later.
The point of those nonsense is that the writer himself is comfortable, and it may not matter whether he returns or not.
In fact, they have been disconnected for a long time. Originally, in high school, Su Muan was just making friends so-so and maintaining a superficial peace. When she went to college and got out of the same classroom and looked down and didn't look up, she lived even more in seclusion and disappeared.
In retrospect, it seems that it is not just a problem of the university, Su Muan and Bai Susu were estranged in the second semester of their third year of high school.
After a while, Su Mu'an shrank in the corner irritably and flipped through the books! Bai Susu walked over and suddenly asked her, "Why did I ask you to go downstairs to play volleyball, and you ignored them?" ”
"I'm angry, you don't give me face." She continued.
"Is there one?" Su Mu'an was very puzzled, sure that no one had called her just now. She is a little distracted today, and she can't read books, so she shouldn't have heard others call her.
But she still managed to maintain a polite smile: "Maybe I didn't hear me." I'm really sorry that I was so obsessed with reading novels. ”
Bai Susu is a drunkard, not in wine.
"We all want to be friends with you, but you're so out of place. In fact, the students in our class think that you are too arrogant and cold, and you look down on everyone except your papers. ”
For the first time, Bai Susu's words did not have a sleek tone of giggling.
This unprovoked accusation made Su Muan's originally gloomy mood even more urgent. She withdrew her polite smile and said lightly, "What do you think of Zhang Min?" ”
Bai Susu was stunned for a long time, and hurriedly searched for Zhang Min's figure in the classroom: "...... That's good, what's wrong? ”
Su Mu'an saw that Zhang Min was sitting in the corner with her head down, flipping through the boring school newspaper that had just been issued, and the light purple down jacket was dirty, which set off her earthy yellow skin even more haggard.
"Do you know her well?"
"I'm not familiar with it, why do you ask this?" Bai Susu also frowned.
"Do you think there's a difference between me and Zhang Min? In addition to her bad grades, we all like to read, we all want to nest in the corner, we don't like to talk, we don't like to go shopping, we don't like to sing, why don't you say Zhang Min is proud? Or why can't you ignore me as you ignore Zhang Min's existence? I don't think I ever speak ill of others, and I'm eager to help my classmates when I can, so I won't be labeled with such a big hat, right? ”
"We're just ......" Bai Susu was speechless, thought about it and said, "We just want you to be happy, so what we want you to join is for your own good." ”
"If it's just trying to make me happy and want to 'save' me, why aren't you worried about me when you see that I'm not going out to play volleyball, isn't it sad? Do you think that I look down on you and make you lose face? Or do you feel that no one has ever rejected you, and you can't stand the coldness? ”
Su Mu'an remembered that Bai Susu stared at her speechlessly, and she just had a flat voice from beginning to end, her eyes staring at the book in her hand. She couldn't remember how Bai Susu left later.
It seemed to be the only time Su Muan showed her aggressive side in the three years of high school, and she was really as aggressive as an eighteen-year-old girl.
If she was in a slightly better mood that day, she might only smile and perfunctory in the face of Bai Susu's menacing accusations, "Where is it, why are you talking so seriously?" Wouldn't it be better to be together next time? ”。
But she happened to be in a bad mood that day, because she saw Shen Liunian with other girls.
Su Mu'an never knew why Bai Susu was so persistent in "being friends" with him. Maybe everyone has their own pride and persistence, such as Su Mu'an's achievements, Bai Susu's popularity.
She may be glad that she still has some ability to be looked down upon, unlike Zhang Min, who has no sense of existence.
Su Mu'an was not interested in discussing with her how many people in her life were not passers-by - whether they were or not. Bai Susu naturally has a lot of beautiful letterheads, and one of her replies is missing, although it is slightly flawed, but it is another kind of consummation.
Thinking like this, she pulled out a blank piece of paper with a little bit of caution and wrote:
The equation behind you is wrong, and that should be hyperbola, not an ellipse.
So it can be seen that I have read your letter well, both positive and negative.
