Chapter 7: A Lifetime at a Glance 06
An Yannan found Shen Chuxue on the rooftop.
She ended up skipping classes - she couldn't hear anything the professor said, and the more he talked, the more confused she became.
She came to the rooftop to get some fresh air, but didn't dare get too close to the edge.
She thought of the novels she had read, those clichéd yet classic plots, where the heroine committed suicide on the rooftop, and then the hero came and said, "Don't die, I still love you," or something like that, but the ending was mostly that the two people lived happily together.
The reality is often not so beautiful.
She had never thought about dying. Even when she experienced such despair and her grandmother died in front of her, Shen Chuxue never thought about dying. All she wanted was to try her best to live.
"Skipping class?" An Yannan was holding a pile of documents. He received a text message from Shen Chuxue and came upstairs before the meeting. He knew that Shen Chuxue would not commit suicide, but he felt a little panic in his heart - Shen Chuxue, who had left Lin Jianluo, always felt different.
Shen Chuxue smiled and said, "The professor is telling us about tasting hundreds of herbs, encouraging us to be brave enough to try." As she spoke, she opened her arms, facing the wind and the tall building, ignoring the astonishing height, and gestured to An Yannan, "What do you think would happen if I were brave enough to try?"
"This building has seventeen floors. You will definitely die if you jump down. If you land on a shelf, that's another matter. Anyway, your ending won't be a good one." An Yannan is always so serious, which makes Shen Chuxue laugh and cry.
Her arms were chilled by the wind .
Close your eyes and look up.
This is a movement that symbolizes freedom.
After so many years of planning, she was finally free.
"I told you not to regret it." An Yannan said.
She slightly opened her eyes. The sunlight reflected from the wall of the building opposite. Shen Chuxue felt it was dazzling as soon as she opened her eyes, so she had to squint slightly. She was a little nearsighted, but she tried hard to see vaguely that people were working in the office building opposite. They were wearing white shirts and black trousers, and everyone looked busy.
Shen Chuxue put down her arms and ignored the alarm on her cell phone.
"I don't regret taking revenge on the Lin family, I just regret doing it through Lin Jianluo. I regret hurting Lin Jianluo, and I also regret getting so close to Lin Jianluo that I fell in love with him."
After she made up her mind, falling in love with Lin Jianluo was no longer something difficult to talk about.
She just couldn't believe that she had fallen in love with the resentful Lin family.
"So you want to jump down? When did the Shen Chuxue I know become so weak that she needs to use death to escape problems?" An Yannan was a little sarcastic, as if he was mocking Shen Chuxue.
She had her back to An Yannan, wearing a white windbreaker and the skirt that Lin Jianluo bought for her. The color difference was a bit big, but the combination was surprisingly good. She threw her high heels aside and stood barefoot on the ground with her toes curled up. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, swaying with Shen Chuxue's movements.
"I don't want to die! I haven't lived enough! I have done so many things, not to die after success! I originally wanted to watch the Lin family in panic, watch the Lin family destroyed, and watch the people of the Lin family get retribution for the sins they committed in the past..." Shen Chuxue talked about her ambitions, but she didn't expect that her ambitions would be defeated by an ordinary name.
Luo in the forest.
And this name has become an untouchable scar for Shen Chuxue and the only obstacle on her road to progress.
"Once, I thought my life was a wasteland with the end in sight, and the road was overgrown with weeds. But I didn't expect Lin Jianluo to suddenly come in. He helped me weed, plant flowers, water and fertilize me, making my black and white world become colorful..." Shen Chuxue's tone was gentle and her voice was light.
"But I destroyed it all with my own hands. I drove Lin Jianluo out of my life and kicked him out of my garden. So, without water and sunlight, the flowers will wither... "
She tilted her head and smiled, her lips pale.
"Lin Jianluo is the future that I can see through at a glance."
