Chapter 6 My love for you has always been quiet

The love I give you has always been very quiet, in exchange for your occasional care. It is clearly a movie about three people, but I still cannot have a name.

It was the first day of the winter vacation. I did not rush home, but came to the pavilion on the back mountain of the school alone, because I knew that there would be almost no one there and it would be a good place to cry and vent.
I squatted dejectedly in the pavilion, asking myself over and over again, Su Moli, why are you so stupid?
You always said that you wanted to help Chu Yubai fulfill his unfulfilled dream, but now, you even failed a small final exam. How can you help Chu Yubai realize his dream?
You are so useless, Su Moli!
Even Yubai's last wish, even the only thing you can do for him, you can't fulfill it!
Tears couldn't be stopped from falling at that moment. I wiped them away with my sleeves, bit my lips tightly, and tried my best to control them from falling, as if falling tears meant admitting defeat, as if if I admitted defeat, I would really not be able to fulfill Chu Yubai's dream.
However, all this was in vain. My tears kept pouring down as if they could never be wiped away, and I finally broke down in tears.
"Hello..." A male voice as clear as frost came, and a pair of black lambskin men's boots with exquisite texture and workmanship came into my sight.
I looked up in surprise. A tall and thin boy, wearing a black coat and black trousers, was standing one step away from me, looking down at me with a stern gaze without a trace of emotion.
When he saw me looking up at him, he slowly tilted his head to one side and said slowly, "Who was it that made such and such a promise in the beginning, and now you are just crying uselessly here?"
His tone was cold and chilly, like the frost on the branches on a deep winter morning, and I knew immediately that he was Xu Jue.
"None of your business!" I said resolutely, not knowing where I got the courage from. "I'm stupid. Not only did I fail my major course, but you also failed my Architectural Photography course. Is that ok?"
He was stunned for a moment and glanced at me sideways, as if he was a little surprised how I knew it was him.
I thought he would be angry because of my unfriendly tone, but he seemed not to hear me. He took a long step and sat down on the stone bench next to me. He said slowly: "I remember someone said that he had lofty ideals and pursuits, right?"
"So what?" I don't know why, but looking at Xu Jue's expressionless face, I suddenly felt like I had eaten explosives. "Which law stipulates that ordinary people can't have dreams?"
He was not angry, and said calmly: "If you have any, tell me about it."
"Just say it." I said angrily, "My dream is to graduate from the photography department of C University, go to Yale University for graduate studies in photography, and then... become the best photographer."
"The best photographer?" He looked into the distance and smiled faintly, "What is your standard for the best photographer?"
I was stunned. In the past, I just wanted to "copy" Chu Yubai's life, and never thought about what it takes to be the "best photographer" in Chu Yubai's words.
I thought hard and finally came up with the idea of ​​becoming a photographer for National Geographic magazine.
In fact, this is also Chu Yubai’s dream.
"And then?" Xu Jue tilted his head, narrowed his eyes, and stared at me, as if he wanted to see through my heart.
Then? Becoming the best photographer, working for National Geographic magazine, those were Chu Yubai’s dreams. Because they were his dreams, they became my dreams. Because he never said what would happen next, my dream seemed to come to an abrupt end, stopping here, without the “next”.
What happens next? Yes, what happens next? If one day, I complete all of this for Chu Yubai, then, as myself, Su Moli, what should I do?
"Then, then I will travel around the world to take a photo." I said almost without thinking, "That must be the best and most perfect photo I have ever taken in my life, because I will name it 'Meeting White'."
After a long while, Xu Jue said softly, "Really?" His voice was as light as snowflakes in the mountains, as if they would disappear into thin air with the wind.
He said, “What if you were an architect?”
I don't know why he asked this question, and why he made such an impossible assumption, but maybe because I was depressed and needed someone to talk to me, so even though the other person was Xu Jue, who was not so friendly at ordinary times, I still thought about it and said, "If I were an architect, I would definitely build a unique building in the world, and then I would definitely name it 'Yubai'."
I finished speaking and nodded firmly. My dream is so persistent and specific. It may sound ridiculous to outsiders, but I don’t care.
Xu Jue remained silent. I subconsciously turned my head to look at him. His gaze was fixed on the misty mountains, as if he didn't hear what I said at all.
After a long while, he suddenly laughed at himself. When he turned his head, there was already a hint of anger and coldness in his eyes: "So, your so-called 'dream' is all for that person named Chu Yubai? That's not a dream, it's just a wish at most. Dreams are about your own life and future."
He suddenly turned around and looked at me sternly: "Su Moli, if you spend your whole life just following in other people's footsteps and doing whatever they do, then that can only be considered someone else's life. Then, what about your life? Is that your own life? No."
I remained silent. I knew he was right, but I still bit my lip and refused to admit it.
Xu Jue sneered, curled up the corners of his mouth, and continued sarcastically: "Su Moli, you can't even walk your own path properly, and you still want to fulfill other people's dreams! It's simply wishful thinking and overestimating your own abilities!"
There was a wind blowing from the valley, extremely cold and fierce, as if a sharp knife cut my face. Xu Jue's words were so harsh, just like the wind in the mountains, although it was cold and sharp, it made people's thoughts clear. He was right. I failed the final exam. I couldn't even walk my own path. How could I help Chu Yubai fulfill his dream?
After Xu Jue finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave. I didn't know where I got the courage and determination from, but I subconsciously grabbed the hem of his coat and asked anxiously, "Can you help me? Can you help me with my studies?"
Xu Jue suddenly turned around as if he couldn't believe it. The moment he looked back, I could clearly see the surprise in his eyes, but when I looked at him more carefully, he had changed into a cold expression, looking down at me and said, "I help you with your studies? How can that be possible? You are such an idiot, how can you possibly keep up with my IQ..."
Although he said this, he still let me hold his clothes, so I took advantage of the situation and held him tightly, as if he was the only life-saving straw.
"I know it may sound strange for me to say this, but among all the people I know at C University, you are the only one who can help me and is likely to help me."
He is also the only person who has ever helped me. Although he has never admitted it, I vaguely feel that he may have played a role in my change of major.
I finished, looking directly at him with pleading eyes.
He suddenly turned his head away from my gaze and said awkwardly, "Although you can't keep up with my IQ, I just like to challenge such difficult questions."
This time, I was the one who was surprised.
I let go of my hand in confusion, and I could hardly believe my ears. Did he agree? I thought he would humiliate me severely and then flatly refuse, but I didn't expect him to...
I wanted to confirm with him, but he had already put his hands in his pockets and walked away without looking back.
I stood there, looking at his thin and tall back, still unable to believe that the unruly and arrogant Xu Jue actually agreed to tutor me, the person he always "disdained".
The wind blew in from the valley, blowing in my face with a chill that made me feel unusually sober. I stood in the wind and suddenly seemed to understand a truth: perhaps the person who scolds you the most harshly in this world is the one who cares about you the most.
This is probably what they call the truth being hard to hear.
Perhaps, many things should not be judged on the surface.
The next morning, I was half asleep when I received a text message from Xu Jue. It only contained a time and address: "9 o'clock, No. 160, Muzhi Road."
I stared at the screen of my phone for a long time before I realized that this was the time and location of the make-up class he sent me! When I noticed that it was already 8:20, I was completely awake.
When I rushed into No. 160 Muzhi Road in a hurry, I found that this was an antique and unique teahouse hidden in an alley. The waiter in Chinese clothes saw me coming in and took me directly to the private room on the second floor without asking any questions.
I followed the waiter into the private room and saw Xu Jue rolling up his sleeves to make tea. He didn't even raise his eyes when he heard the sound. I subconsciously looked at the time. It was 9:05. I guess he was angry about my lateness.
Sure enough, the next second, his clear and cold voice came slowly from the misty water vapor: "Su Moli, if you are late again next time..."
I quickly said, "This won't happen again! If I'm late again, then... I'll fail the course next semester and I'll never graduate from C University!"
There was silence for a second, and then I suddenly heard someone burst into laughter. I couldn't believe it, so I walked closer to take a closer look. In the curling mist, the corners of Xu Jue's mouth curved into a beautiful arc. He was actually smiling.
He said seriously: "I don't have that much ability."
I answered seriously: "But they said that there is nothing you can't do at C University."
"Hmm..." He seemed to think about it seriously, then nodded and said, "What they said makes sense."
I didn't know how to respond. Sure enough, this person was just like the rumors said, he never understood what humility was. Of course, he didn't need to be humble.
Xu Jue motioned for me to sit down, then raised his hand and threw three books in front of me, namely "History of Foreign Photography", "Basic Theories and Basic Skills of Photography", and "Basics of Art".
I suddenly realized that I, who had hired someone to help me with my studies, didn't even bring my own textbooks. I thought he was going to take the opportunity to mock me again, but he raised his chin slightly and said, "You can read the first two books by yourself first. We will start with the basics of art today."
"But...it seems that there is no art basics course in our curriculum..." I expressed my thoughts timidly.
"That's because..." He leaned forward slightly, his narrow eyes curved into a bridge, and said with a smile meaningfully, "Other people's aesthetics are different from yours."
After he finished speaking, as if he was afraid that I didn’t understand, he continued to explain: “Other people’s aesthetics are not as biased as yours…”
I finally understood the sarcasm in his words, but I didn't dare to refute him, so I had to pick up the book "Fundamentals of Art" to study.
For the whole morning, I was tortured to death by the exercises assigned by Xu Jue, while Xu Jue was leisurely drinking tea on the side, occasionally glancing at my still life sketch across the table.
I raised my eyes and observed him quietly, thinking that he was going to show disgust and contempt again, but he had already retracted his gaze and continued to drink his tea.
It was almost noon when my stomach started to growl. I hadn’t eaten anything in the morning because I was in a hurry. But now I felt like I could eat a whole cow.
"Let me treat you to a meal." I stopped and looked at Xu Jue seriously.
Xu Jue took a sip of tea, placed the cup gently on the table, and said without raising his head: "You can't afford it." I don't know why, but I always felt that the corners of his mouth seemed to curl up when he said this.
"Oh." I just remembered that someone as picky as Xu Jue probably wouldn't eat at a small restaurant like us. "Then how should I pay you? How about hourly payment?"
He looked up at me in surprise, his dark eyes gradually showing a deeper smile, and he said in a rare gentle voice, "Okay."
"But I'm expensive." He touched his chin with his slender fingers and said, "You may not be able to afford it."
"How much is very...very expensive?" I felt a little guilty, but still pretended to be calm. I didn't want to take advantage of Young Master Xu.
"Hmm..." He quickly took out his cell phone, entered a number, and then gently pushed the phone in front of me.
"500 an hour?!" I couldn't help but exclaim. A professor at C University only charges 200 yuan for a lecture. He is simply robbing me.
He didn't take it seriously, smiled, and slowly raised his eyes to look at me: "US dollars."
"500 USD an hour?! More than 3,000 RMB an hour!" I was so shocked by the price he offered that I lost all my rationality and blurted out, "Why don't you just sell me off?"
"500 dollars is already a friendly discount." He tapped the table lightly with his slender fingers, with a sly smile on his face, "Sell you? You won't be able to sell for such a high price."
I was speechless.
Xu Jue's mentor in the United States was a famous professor who won the Nobel Prize in architecture, the Pritzker Architecture Prize, and Xu Jue was his mentor's favorite student. It is said that one of Xu Jue's design drawings can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars, so on average, $500 an hour is indeed a friendly price.
"I, I can't afford you..." I said honestly, "I will pay you back for the two hours this morning in installments, and I won't bother you anymore in the future..."
He said nothing, but quickly took the note paper and pen from the table and started writing in a flamboyant manner. When he finished, he handed it to me without saying anything, just looking at me with a smile.
I looked down and saw powerful handwriting on the plain white note paper: "A wish ticket. The holder, Party A Xu Jue, can ask Party B Su Moli to complete an event designated by Party A without violating the law, morality and her own will. Party A's signature: Xu Jue." The lower right corner of the note was blank for "Party B's signature."
I looked up at him blankly, and he tapped the note with his chin and said, "Sign it and get free tutoring forever. How's that?"
I quickly calculated in my mind, isn't it just that I will be asked to do something in the future? And it must not violate the law and morality, and more importantly, it must not violate my own will, that is, as long as it is something I don't want to do, I can refuse it? I would be a fool not to sign such a favorable "contract" for me.
"Sign it!" I picked up the pen and wrote my name on the note paper in a few strokes.
Xu Jue took the note, read it carefully, and carefully put it into his wallet after confirming that it was correct. I looked at him as if he had found a treasure, and I suddenly felt uneasy. When I wanted to take the note back, Xu Jue seemed to have noticed my intention and ordered me to leave without any expression: "That's all for today, you go first."
I had no choice but to pack up my things and walk out. As I walked, I felt uneasy, as if I had accidentally sold myself out.
At noon, in the teahouse at No. 160 Muzhi Road, An Ran watched Su Moli walk away through the carved and hollow partition of the box, then slowly walked into Xu Jue's box.
The aroma of tea filled the air in the box. An Ran walked over without hesitation and sat opposite Xu Jue. She looked at Xu Jue with a look of shock and disbelief, and asked knowingly, "Huh? This is really you, Young Master Xu?"
The shock on An Ran's face was definitely not pretended. Just now, she saw Xu Jue and Su Moli sitting together through the partition. When she realized that Xu Jue was giving Su Moli extra lessons, even though she was used to seeing the world, she was almost stunned.
Xu Jue usually gets impatient when talking to people after more than three sentences. Who would have thought that one day he would actually take the trouble to tutor a stupid girl?
It's like the sun is rising from the west!
"So what if it's me?" Xu Jue forced himself to remain calm, no longer showing his usual cynicism and carefree attitude .
An Ran didn't mind asking too much, and asked him seriously, "So, just now, Mr. Xu, were you tutoring Su Moli?"
"What's it got to do with you?" Xu Jue had completely given up on his sharp tongue and used a rhetorical question that symbolized weakness.
An Ran knew that he was guilty, and said gloatingly: "Xu Jue, you are done."
"What do you mean?" Xu Jue couldn't help but tighten his grip on the teacup, a sharp light unconsciously flashing in his narrow eyes.
An Ran knew that his expression meant that she had guessed correctly, so she said with certainty: "Xu Jue, you are in love with Su Moli."
Xu Jue's first reaction upon hearing this was to laugh, but that smile soon froze between his brows. He turned his head away, stopped talking, and pursed his thin lips into a straight line.
"It's useless for you to deny it with your mouth." An Ran pointed at Xu Jue's left chest, "Because your heart has already admitted it before you even realized it. I'm still surprised! Xu Jue, who is so arrogant, actually used his interpersonal relationships that he usually disdained to help Su Moli, who has nothing to do with her, change her major; Xu Jue, who is always indifferent to other people's affairs, actually patiently helped Su Moli with her studies."
An Ran looked at Xu Jue with a smile: "Tell me, why does a person become so abnormal?"
Then, without waiting for Xu Jue's answer, she asked and answered herself: "Of course it's because he fell in love with that girl named Su Moli. In this way, all the 'abnormalities' can be explained, right?"
After An Ran finished speaking, she blinked and looked at Xu Jue intently, with an expression as if she had seen through the world and understood everything.
Xu Jue seemed to be completely enraged by her expression and denied it resolutely: "I fell in love with Su Moli? How is that possible!"
"Oh?" An Ran looked completely unconvinced.
Xu Jue pretended to drink tea with his head down, not wanting An Ran to see his eyes. He tried his best to control his voice and acted cynical: "That's right, I was the one who helped Su Moli change her major, and I was also the one who tutored her. But so what? You probably don't understand, the world of people like us is sometimes too boring, so we just want to find someone who is 'stupid and interesting' to play games with. But that's just a game."
"Really?" Although An Ran used a question, she clearly didn't believe it. "In fact, you are the only one who knows the truth. Xu Jue, lying to others may be fun, but what's the point of lying to yourself?"
After An Ran left, Xu Jue sat alone in the box for a long time. He didn't know whether he had really fallen in love with Su Moli, but what he knew clearly was that the "game" between him and Su Moli seemed to be becoming more than just a game.
That night, Xu Jue completely suffered from insomnia.
What An Ran said at noon was like a sharp needle, which poked through the window paper that the proud him had set up in his heart, and made him see clearly his feelings for Su Moli. It was not curiosity, not exploration, but...
Xu Jue lay on the bed, quietly looking at the large French window. When the sky outside the window gradually brightened, he said to himself resolutely, Hey, Xu Jue, this is not like you. Is there anything in this world that you dare not do and dare not admit? Isn't it just falling in love with that girl named Su Moli? What can't be admitted?
That's not upright, and An Ran will just laugh at you, right?
So, early the next morning, he couldn't wait to go to Muzhi Road, because he knew there was an 80% chance of meeting An Ran there.
Sure enough, Xu Jue saw An Ran sitting by the window of a cafe, staring blankly at a cup of coffee. He walked in, sat opposite her, and said bluntly, "You're right, I'm in love with Su Moli."
An Ran was not surprised. She gave Xu Jue a thumbs up perfunctorily, as if she had guessed that Xu Jue would frankly and honestly admit his feelings for Su Moli.
"What?" This surprised Xu Jue, "You don't laugh at me?"
"Why should I laugh at you?" An Ran looked at him with her pale face gradually showing sadness. "In fact, we are now in the same boat. Congratulations on joining the 'Love Unrequited' team."
"I'm a little uncomfortable with you doing this." Xu Jue leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, looking at An Ran with raised eyebrows.
"Then what should I be like?" An Ran smiled calmly and said, "Does it mean that I would fight with you when I see you? That was me a few years ago. So many years have passed, a lot of things have happened, and I have seen a lot more clearly. Sometimes, you can't just look at the surface of things, just like, you seem to dislike Qiao Huan, but in fact you don't want to hurt him."
"I've been a bad guy for so long, so I'm not used to you praising me like this. If you consider this as praising me." Xu Jue was rarely at a loss.
An Ran glanced at him calmly and said, "Because you are about to fall into the bitter sea of ​​unrequited love, so I want to be a little nicer to you."
"You mean, Su Moli doesn't even have me in her eyes?" Xu Jue, who reacted, became a little restless.
An Ran shrugged, with an expression that said "obviously so", and said bluntly: "You should know that Su Moli likes Chu Yubai."
"So what?"
"So what?" An Ran paused, her eyes fell out the window, her expression gradually became lonely, and she murmured softly, "I have the most experience with this kind of thing. If you have loved someone with all your heart, and that person suddenly disappears from your world, then no matter how many people come and go in your world in the future, your world will always only have that person, and there will be no room for another extra person. When he is here, he is your whole world. When he is gone, he is the only one left in your world."
The music in the cafe was mournful and sad, and the sky outside the window was a leaden grey that made people feel depressed. Xu Jue listened to An Ran mumbling to herself and slowly lowered his eyes.
He seldom saw An Ran like this. In his impression, the girl named An Ran was the stubborn and unyielding An Ran, the An Ran who was unwilling to let anyone see her vulnerable side even if she gritted her teeth and pretended to be optimistic.
However, she had gone through too much in the past year. Qiao Huan disappeared again, and she lost her sight. Many times, she was smiling, but one could see the sadness and loneliness between her eyebrows.
Love is really a double-edged sword. It can give life or kill people.
But he hadn't even tried it yet, so how could he know that he would definitely die? Besides, was there anything that Xu Jue couldn't do?
"Perhaps, in the past, Su Moli only had one Chu Yubai in the world." Xu Jue slowly raised his eyes, his gaze firm and confident, "But from now on, I want to be her whole world."
An Ran looked at Xu Jue with some sympathy: "Xu Jue, do you think that with your conditions, you can win Su Moli's heart without any effort?"
"What else?" Xu Jue was inexplicably flustered by the obvious pity in An Ran's eyes, but he could only pretend to be confident. How could Su Moli not fall in love with him? He had already carefully kept her in his heart a long time ago, without realizing it.
"Chu Yubai is someone who will live forever in Su Moli's heart." An Ran reached out and gently patted Xu Jue's shoulder, "And you, never dream of defeating an immortal person. So, Xu Jue..."
Xu Jue slowly curled up his lips. He knew what An Ran wanted to say. She wanted to persuade him to give up. But he was keen on challenging difficult things.
Xu Jue blinked: "Want to make a bet?"
An Ran knew that it was useless to persuade her. When it comes to emotional trauma, only people who have been hurt know how painful it is. People who have not been hurt will always hold on to a lucky mentality.
"Okay!" An Ran knew that since she couldn't persuade him, she could only use provocation to help him.
"Three weeks." Xu Jue said, "I will let you see that the person I love also loves me."
"Three months." An Ran said without question, "Xu Jue, some things must be done slowly. Let alone three months, even if I give you three years or thirty years, you may not be able to remove Chu Yubai who lives in Su Moli's heart."
She said it so confidently that for the first time in his life Xu Jue understood what it felt like to be uneasy, as if someone had lifted his heart up.
If Chu Yubai is to Su Moli like Qiao Huan is to An Ran, then perhaps just as An Ran said, he will never be able to enter Su Moli's world.
Su Moli, you see, the first difficulty I have encountered in my life is that you come and go freely in my world, but I don’t know how to get close to you.
On the third day of winter vacation, my roommates all went home, and I was the only one left in the dormitory. When I woke up in the morning, I received a text message from my mother: "Moli, when will you be back?"
I looked at the message for a long time, not knowing how to reply. My mother chose to send a text message instead of a phone call, probably because she didn't want to embarrass me. It's not that I don't want to go back, but the small town in the south of the Yangtze River where I grew up is full of memories of Chu Yubai. If I take a step closer, it's like stepping into an abyss.
So, staying at school for tutoring became a legitimate reason to come home late. I told my mother that I would take two weeks of tutoring at school and be home before New Year's Eve. It took a long time to reply to the text message, and I finally received a reply from my mother, with only one word "OK". My tears flowed down uncontrollably. After all, my mother understood me, so she never asked too many questions, and never mentioned Chu Yubai in front of me.
I held my phone and wiped my tears silently. The text message ringtone rang again. This time it was from Xu Jue. The text message contained only two words: "Go downstairs."
I was stunned for a moment and almost jumped out of the bed. His text message meant that he was downstairs from my dormitory right now?
"Ten minutes." I replied to the text message quickly and hurriedly went to change my clothes.
But his text message came back immediately: "Take your time." A big smiling emoticon was added after the three words, which was very rare.
I held my phone in my hand, so panicked that I didn't know what to do.
This... is too abnormal!
When Xu Jue said "take your time", it definitely didn't mean "take your time" literally.
I changed my clothes almost as quickly as I did during military training. I quickly brushed my teeth and washed my face, put on a coat and ran out the door.
I lowered my head and rushed out of the dormitory building. The fresh and cold air unique to the deep winter in City C hit me in the face. I sniffed and raised my head to see Xu Jue standing far away in the crimson morning light. The next second, I froze in place.
Strictly speaking, I couldn't see his face clearly, so why was I so sure that he was Xu Jue?
Maybe it was because of his tall and slender figure; maybe it was because of the alienation and indifference inadvertently revealed between his brows; maybe... maybe it was just because of the eye-catching navy blue cashmere coat he was wearing.
"Su-Mo-Li!" He still called my name word by word as usual, probably mistakenly thinking that I didn't recognize him again.
I walked over quickly and found that the back seat of the white convertible sports car parked behind him was filled with flowers, hydrangeas, peonies, roses, and many other flowers I couldn't name, all in brilliant colors and with rich fragrance.
"What beautiful flowers!" I looked at those flowers and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice. My mood, which had fallen to the bottom, inexplicably gradually got better.
"Of course." Xu Jue stood beside me, smiling with the corners of his mouth curved up with some pride.
"Is it for a girl?" On a cold winter morning, seeing these bright flowers, my mood became inexplicably better. Could Xu Jue, who is so sharp-tongued and narcissistic, also like someone? I thought that no one except himself could catch his eye.
Xu Jue glanced at me calmly and nodded.
"You bought these flowers from the flower shop early in the morning, didn't you? They're not wilted at all." I leaned over and studied the flowers carefully. "Oh, I see. It must be because they were placed in the convertible. I heard that the lower the temperature, the better it is for preserving flowers. But, isn't it cold to drive a convertible in the middle of winter?"
A gust of wind came, and I wrapped my coat tightly around me, looking at Xu Jue in confusion: "It's cold even when standing, how can it not be cold when driving?"
Xu Jue glanced at me sideways without saying anything, and his expression gradually became strange.
I said to myself: "Maybe this is the power of love. You must like that girl very much, right?"
In fact, I also wanted to ask him whether that girl liked him, but I didn’t dare.
Xu Jue just stared at me expressionlessly, as if he wanted to stand like a statue. Despite this, I still keenly noticed that the tips of his ears were slightly red. It turns out that Master Xu can also be shy!
I waved my hand and pretended to be very considerate and said, "Go and give the flowers to that girl! Forget about today's tutoring."
Xu Jue didn't say anything, as if he was angry about something. He clenched his fists very obviously and looked at me with burning eyes, as if he wanted to burn a hole in my face with his eyes.
"What, what's wrong?" I quickly reviewed what I said in my mind, and it seemed that I said nothing wrong!
He turned his head away, ignored me, quickly opened the car door, got in, and slammed the door shut with a loud bang, as if he was angry with someone. Then, he said coldly, "Get in the car!"
"Ah?" I looked at the car full of flowers and asked awkwardly, "Aren't we going to deliver the flowers?"
"You've already seen the flowers, how can you give them away!" He looked at me with gritted teeth and said in a slow tone, "Su Moli, do you want to get in the car?"
Of course I didn't dare not get in the car. As soon as I got into the passenger seat and fastened my seat belt, Xu Jue started the car without saying a word.
The car was moving very fast. The moment it rushed out, I could hardly open my eyes. The strong wind pulled my hair and the cold air poured in from my collar. I closed my eyes and thought, Xu Jue is really amazing. He is such a proud person. For love, he pulled these flowers early in the morning in such a cold day. I don’t know how long the cold wind blew.
When the words "cold wind" appeared in my mind, something strange happened. The wind seemed to stop suddenly. I opened my eyes in surprise and found that Xu Jue had opened the roof.
The sound of the wind was instantly blocked out of the car. Perhaps Xu Jue had turned on the heater. Soon, the car was as warm as spring. It was so hot that I had to take off my coat. I looked back at the flowers on the back seat and felt very sorry: "You should drive the convertible, otherwise the flowers will wilt."
"These flowers are not for you," Xu Jue looked straight ahead, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
No matter how dumb I was, I could clearly sense the gunpowder in Xu Jue's tone and immediately shut up.
Along the way, Xu Jue drove very fast. At first, there were tall buildings on both sides of the road, but slowly, both sides of the road began to become deserted, as if they were driving on a mountain road.
I couldn't help but ask nervously, "Where are we going?"
He glanced at me sideways and said calmly, "My home."
"You...your home?" I stuttered nervously.
He suddenly laughed out loud, raised his long eyebrows, leaned closer to me and said, "What? Are you afraid that I will sell you out?"
He smiled gently, with an evil and crazy look on his face. In the small compartment, I could clearly feel the oppressive force coming from his powerful aura.
I swallowed subconsciously and shook my head calmly: "No..."
After I finished speaking, I thought about it again and said as if to comfort myself: "Well, I can't sell it for much money. Besides, you are so rich, why would you sell me? It's almost the same as if I sold you."
He nodded seriously: "It seems to make sense, but..." He suddenly stopped talking, his eyes fell on my face, and there seemed to be some emotions in his clear eyes that I couldn't understand.
But he didn't say anything, but I became inexplicably nervous, as if I had fallen into a "trap" again.
When the car was almost halfway up the mountain, sporadic snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky. White snowflakes were dancing in the air outside the car window, and inside the car window, it was warm like spring, with a fresh and elegant fragrance.
It's snowing, but this winter doesn't seem too cold.
