"And you are coming back tomorrow, right?" Shu Ran paused and shyly said, "Having you by my side is enough."
Shu Ran was reserved and not good with words, but when it came to him, she seemed to have endless sweet nothings to share, wanting only to speak them to him.
Of course, it was only when she had been drinking that she would dare to express herself so boldly.
"Be good and wait for me at home tomorrow."
Shu Ran shook her head and insisted, "I want to pick you up."
Without a second thought, Qin Xian refused, "It's going to snow heavily in S City tomorrow; it will be very cold..."
But Shu Ran was persistent, her attitude firm: "I really want to pick you up. Will you promise me?"
She hadn't seen him for two days; whether it was dependence or habit, she felt uneasy when he was gone. A sense of loneliness enveloped her, making it hard for her to sleep at night.
Shu Ran felt defeated, completely overwhelmed by this man.
What was worse was that she found herself accepting this defeat.
In the realm of love, where is there winning or losing? If you love, then you love.
Hearing her pitiful plea, Qin Xian thought for a moment. After all, they would be in the car together, and Aunt Chen had mentioned that she had been feeling much better these past couple of days. He couldn't bear to refuse her small request and agreed, "Okay."
When Shu Ran hung up the phone, she felt delighted. It had been a long time since she had gone out and even longer since she had seen the heavy snow in S City.
When attending school in B City, although it was also in the north and there was snow, Ke Shuran always felt that the drifting snowflakes were not as beautiful as those in her hometown, nor were they as cold. There was always a sense of something missing. Compared to her classmates from the south, who would exclaim in surprise every time they saw a snowy scene, her reaction could be described as very calm and composed.
It was as if this vast snowy landscape had long become a common sight, stirring no emotions within her.
In the past few months, S City had experienced several heavy snowfalls, but she had stayed locked up at home, never venturing out to see what S City looked like under a blanket of snow.
For some reason, she felt a bit of anticipation.
Now it was already one-thirty in the morning, and the fireworks outside were still going on, yet Ke Shuran obediently prepared to go to sleep.
However, her phone kept buzzing with incoming messages. Shu Ran wondered who could be sending her messages at such a late hour.
When she opened WeChat, she realized she had been added to a group chat called Fellowship.
The people inside were all classmates from Qin Xian's time, totaling about 100 or so. Cao Yun, Wu Wang, and Zhou Jiajia were also there, all actively chatting away, with messages flying by so quickly that she couldn't keep up.
Having just been added by an unknown classmate and not having muted the group, her phone was naturally bombarded with notifications.
As Shu Ran stared blankly at her screen, she noticed someone had @mentioned her among the over 200 unread messages. After hesitating for a moment, she curiously clicked in to see that it was actually the former class monitor of Qin Xian, Li Chenyi, who had added her, along with a series of chat records about her.
Li Chenyi: Welcome our class flower Shu Ran from Class Nine! Welcome!
Liu Yin: Welcome welcome! Newcomer, please provide your three measurements: age and whether you have a boyfriend or girlfriend. Ladies, please add me; gentlemen, add the admin.
Administrator Cao Dashao: The next time I throw a slipper at you, you'll understand what true pain feels like.
Zhang Yuxin: @Shu, Shu Ran, you're here too, welcome!
Wu Wang: Alright, alright, you all better be careful not to scare my goddess.
Xinxin: Yeah, she’s too scared to even speak up.
Liu Yin: @Shu, @Shu, @Shu, come out and play, come on, let’s have some fun!
Wu Wang: @Liu Yin, don’t leave after school, I’m going to find someone to beat you up.
Liu Yin: Come on, do you think I’m scared of you? I’ll be waiting for you in Class Three!
Zhou Jiajia: Two crazy people!
Administrator Cao Dashao: Two crazy people!
Zhang Yuxin: Two crazy people!
Lin Shifeng: Nice job, Lao Li, you’ve invited the Class Flower too, 66666...
Li Chenyi: Isn’t that a must? (shy)
Lin Shifeng: Why didn't you invite them in earlier with their WeChat? What a loser.
Li Chenyi: I know, right? The problem is that Class Flower is like a corpse in my friend list, not posting anything, not commenting, not liking, and not chatting. If she hadn't suddenly posted today, I wouldn't even know she was on my list.
Zhang Yuxin: Yeah, speaking of moments, I just remembered Shu Ran posted something. Is that guy Shu Ran's boyfriend?
Lin Shifeng: What? Class Flower has a boyfriend now? Where? Show me the photo.
Li Chenyi: @Zhang Yuxin, idiot, she said she missed you. If it's not a boyfriend, who could it be? Maybe it's her brother.
Xinxin: Please send the photo, count me in!
Then there was a flood of requests for photos, while Zhang Yuxin secretly sent a WeChat message asking if she could post Qin Xian's photo in the group. She happened to be on a call and didn't reply, so it ended there.
Seeing that the photo was delayed and Shu Ran hadn't chimed in either, the group changed the topic to games.
Shu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that she was on a call and didn't have time to respond.
She scrolled through a few messages out of boredom and noticed they were all about games. Thankfully, no one brought her up again, which put her at ease.
Finally, she slowly opened the chat box and replied to Zhang Yuxin's message.
Sorry, I was on a call.
Thank you for not sending his photo to the group.
She had just sent it, and the chat box at the top showed that the other person was typing.
Shu Ran waited for a while and then saw her message come through.
It's nothing.
Um, well, Shu Ran, I'm a bit sorry.
Shu Ran: ?
This time, Zhang Yuxin seemed a bit anxious and directly sent a voice message.
Um, Shu Ran. Just now in the group, Wen Yihuan from Class Three suddenly asked about some photo, and then added me on WeChat. He asked for your boyfriend's photo, so I sent it to him. I'm really sorry.
Hearing a certain name, Shu Ran was stunned for several seconds, holding her phone tightly against her ear before finally putting it down.
Shu Ran: ???
Shu Ran: You mean, Wen Yihuan?
