Chapter 10 I Can’t Accompany You Until Old Age
What Lin Jianluo didn't know was that he had already left a deep impression in Shen Chuxue's heart. But now he was gone.
01
An Cenxi has been in a bad mood recently. Sometimes, she can't even hear Shen Chuxue talking. Li Qiuhe and An Wei asked An Cenxi if there was something wrong at school, but An Cenxi avoided the question and always got to the point - mainly because she didn't want to tell her parents about Lin Jianluo.
There must be a reason why Shen Chuxue didn't tell Li Qiuhe about the affairs of the Shen and Lin families. If she didn't tell him, there was no need for her to tell him either - An Cenxi was starting to think about others now.
On this day, An Wei and Li Qiuhe went out to attend a banquet. It was late at night, and there were only three children at home. It was cold and quiet. Even with the lights on downstairs, it didn't seem very bright. Instead, An Cenxi sat quietly at the dinner table.
Shen Chuxue walked down from upstairs, stood by the table and looked for a long time, then waved her hand in front of An Cenxi.
"What are you doing? You're in a daze..." Shen Chuxue asked.
An Cenxi seemed to be very abnormal during this period. When he saw Shen Chuxue at school or in the student union, he was different from before. He didn't call her sister affectionately, nor did he talk. He just nodded and passed by. Shen Chuxue didn't say that An Cenxi didn't target her and she was not used to it, but An Cenxi was a little scary when he was quiet.
An Yannan came out of the kitchen with a plate in his hand and said, "I don't expect you two to cook, but can you at least get the dishes and chopsticks?"
Shen Chuxue ignored An Cenxi and walked into the kitchen, pulled his sleeve, pulled him aside and asked, "What's wrong with her? She seems to have been in a bad mood since noon... Didn't she go out to play on Saturdays and Sundays before? Now she's sitting in the living room? How long has she been sitting there?"
Taking something out of the cabinet and handing it to Shen Chuxue, An Yannan glanced outside and said, "It seems like she has been sitting here all afternoon, from lunch till now. When I came down to cook, I greeted her, but she acted as if she didn't hear me and was in a daze the whole time... Could it be that you provoked her again?"
Shen Chuxue threw her hands, pinched An Yannan hard, and said, "How can I stimulate her?"
The meal was eaten in silence. An Cenxi was so quiet that An Yannan and Shen Chuxue felt something was wrong. They took turns picking food for An Cenxi before she started eating, or else she would lower her head to eat the rice in her bowl.
An Cenxi was in this state on Saturdays and Sundays. Li Qiuhe was still wondering why An Cenxi had learned his lesson and didn't go out to play, but stayed in his room honestly...
However, she never came out except to eat, and everyone could tell that she was in a bad mood.
During class, Shen Chuxue was spinning her pen and daydreaming.
Fan Qi bumped into her hard.
Shen Chuxue almost fell off the stool. She quickly held onto the corner of the table to steady herself. She turned around and glared at Fan Qi: "What are you doing? This is the professor's class! If I make any noise, I'll be dead!"
"You also know that you are doomed? You know that, but why don't you listen carefully? I'm telling you, the professor said that anyone who makes a mistake in the exam in two weeks will have to copy it a thousand times!"
So cruel...
Shen Chuxue didn't dare to be distracted again. If she failed the Chinese medicine class and was punished to cheat, it would be terrible! Last semester, many people were punished. Fortunately, she had An Yannan to supervise her review and escaped.
Now in school, Shen Chuxue is no longer excluded because Lin Jianluo has not come to school for a long time.
I heard from Lin Jianluo’s roommate that he had taken sick leave and has been recuperating at home.
Shen Chuxue looked at her phone.
In the past, there were always text messages and phone calls from Lin Jianluo. Even if she didn't reply, he would still contact her tirelessly. He would tell Shen Chuxue when he saw a little bird or ate delicious ice cream. Because he knew that Shen Chuxue had no one to accompany her except him. He tried his best to integrate himself into Shen Chuxue's life, hoping that her life would not be blank and that he existed.
What Lin Jianluo didn't know was that he had already left a deep impression in Shen Chuxue's heart. But now he was gone.
This result was not what Shen Chuxue wanted.
"By the way, Chuxue, someone from the student union came to see you just now and said they want to have a meeting. Someone from your planning department asked me to tell you that you can't be late or leave early, and you must go."
The student union's affairs gradually increased, and thanks to the busy student union, Shen Chuxue had no time to think about random things.
She finally realized how busy the president was, because when she was busy with her department's affairs, she sometimes didn't even have time to eat.
The people in the student union knew about An Yannan's relationship with her, so they "took extra care" - according to Zhou Qing, they were all family members. Family members should be cultivated well! The point of joining the student union is to cultivate the ability to work after entering the society, so there is nothing wrong with being busy now!
Shen Chuxue was so busy every day that she could only meet An Yannan when they were both at home. In the past, she could leave when she didn't have classes, and at most she would wait for An Yannan. But now, she was also busy, and sometimes she needed An Yannan to wait for her.
"Why is there another meeting? It's just the planning department, why is it so busy?" Shen Chuxue muttered.
Later, I heard from Zhou Qing that the Planning Department is the busiest department in the Student Union. There are often activities on the university campus, and they are required to plan and organize them, so it is a department that can truly train people.
Shen Chuxue regretted it to death.
In the blink of an eye, S University's centennial anniversary is coming. The school attaches great importance to it, the student union has a heavy task, and even the external relations department has to start to get busy. The school leaders said that this time, people from other schools were invited to participate in the anniversary celebration, which is very grand, and the seniors from previous years will also come.
Speaking of S University, its most famous departments have produced many social elites. They are well-known in S City. Students are proud to say that they are from S University.
Shen Chuxue propped up her chin and looked at An Yannan standing on the podium. Unlike his usual quiet and serious appearance, An Yannan at this moment was like an orator who could make decisions, and his every move exuded charm.
Shen Chuxue turned around to look for Lin Jianluo, but she couldn't find him. Didn't Lin Jianluo come? Wasn't this Lin Jianluo from the Propaganda Department? Wasn't he Zhou Qing's man? By the way, Zhou Qing said that he hadn't seen Lin Jianluo in a meeting for a long time. Zhou Qing said this specifically to Shen Chuxue.
At that time, she was busy doing her own thing and had no time to care about what Zhou Qing said.
Oh, yes, Lin Jianluo hasn't been to school for a long time. He is sick...
"Okay, that's all for today, adjourn." After saying that, people left like birds and beasts, and in an instant, there were only a few people left. The remaining ones were all close to An Yannan, and they might have other things to discuss . Shen Chuxue didn't leave because her legs were numb, and she rubbed her legs with a grimace.
"Chuxue, I'm not asking you to take charge of all the planning by yourself. What's with that expression on your face?" Zhou Qing teased.
She rolled her eyes, pointed at her legs and said, "My legs are numb, otherwise I wouldn't stay here. I'm so sleepy listening to you guys' meeting, really, so sleepy, it's like watching the news." After her legs were finally gone, she stood up and hurried away. Just as she reached the classroom door, An Yannan grabbed her.
It seemed that since the day of the confrontation with Lin Jianluo in the coffee shop, the distance between Shen Chuxue and An Yannan had become much closer. In the past, such intimate actions would never happen between the two of them. An Yannan always kept a proper distance from Shen Chuxue, and she never showed that she needed someone to get close to her, but now An Yannan knew that she longed for warmth, so after Lin Jianluo left, he hoped to fill some of the gap with family affection.
"Wait for me to go back together."
Shen Chuxue glanced sideways, nodded, and agreed to leave the conference room space to them.
At the main entrance of S University, Shen Chuxue sat on the side of the road with her legs curled up, enjoying the warm spring breeze. However, her movements were not very elegant. If a girl sat on the side of the road like this, people passing by would take a few more glances. Shen Chuxue didn't care. She squinted her eyes, her lips curved, and the music she often listened to recently was playing in her headphones. She didn't even notice An Yannan approaching.
A white hand stretched out in front of him and opened.
Shen Chuxue opened her eyes and looked up. Against the light, An Yannan 's edges were softened a lot, no longer so indifferent.
She giggled twice and put her hand in An Yannan's palm.
"Cousin, Shen Chuxue." After taking a few steps, I heard An Cenxi's voice.
An Cenxi ran over with her schoolbag on her back, and there was no driver following her - no matter what time An Cenxi got out of school, there would always be a driver waiting for her at the school gate. She just had to make a phone call and the driver would be on standby at any time. This was something An Wei had instructed her to do.
But today Anzensi went home with them.
When Li Qiuhe opened the door, she was a little surprised to see the three children coming back together.
"It's not far actually, and it's not too tiring to walk back." After An Cenxi finished explaining, he went to the kitchen to get some water.
Shen Chuxue glanced at An Cenxi and went upstairs.
