It was good that nothing had happened. She thought she would never see Qin Xue again.
Even if Qin Yao didn't let her see Qin Xue, she would secretly go see her anyway.
No choice but to elope with Qin Xue!
Su Yun thought this recklessly in her heart. She never considered the consequences of this idea; she simply wanted to be with Qin Xue.
Besides, Qin Xue might not necessarily run away with her...
Anyway, everything was fine now.
(Sister Xue is really amazing, I thought I wouldn't be able to come anymore, hehe)
Su Yun sent this message to Qin Xue on her phone.
Then they chatted as usual, and Su Yun's anxiety gradually dissipated while talking with Qin Xue.
(Qin Xue: Sorry about that earlier, for doing that kind of thing to you. I didn't have any other intentions, Little Sister Yun, don't overthink it)
While chatting, Qin Xue brought up what had happened earlier.
(It's fine, I don't mind)
Su Yun indicated it was nothing.
They chatted for a few minutes before Qin Xue said she needed to study, and they stopped chatting.
Su Yun felt everything was fine now and peacefully picked up the backpack she had carelessly thrown on the floor, pulling out her books from inside.
She just didn't notice that during their chat, Qin Xue never mentioned how she had convinced her sister.
......
During the holiday break, Shi Lezhi was lying on his bed at home, looking through photos on his phone to ease his anger from the past few days.
Because of Wednesday's incident, someone at school was already watching him, and he didn't even know who.
Lao Liu had been arrested, while Zhang Deyi was released. Obviously, they had been followed.
This feeling of enemies in the dark while he was in the open made him very panicked. He couldn't act recklessly for a while, or he'd easily be discovered.
Besides this incident, there was also that bitch.
Last weekend, Chen Tingting had told him she was going to meet her parents. At the time, Shi Lezhi didn’t think much of it. But later, when he asked Chen Tingting’s roommate, she said Chen Tingting had stayed in the dorm all day and never went out.
Wasn’t that just treating him like a complete fool?
At the time, Shi Lezhi was so angry he stormed off to the girls’ dorm to confront Chen Tingting. But she flat-out refused to admit anything. In a fit of rage, he slapped her.
Later, the girls' dormitory supervisor came out to handle the situation, and he had to leave quickly.
These past few days, Chen Tingting had directly blocked him.
Shi Lezhi obviously couldn't swallow this insult, but because someone was watching him now, he could only deal with that bitch later.
Besides, he had other things to do now.
"Their relationship seems a bit too close." Shi Lezhi stared at his phone.
The photos on his phone were taken by his people. Apart from photos of her in class, almost all the other photos included another person.
Su Xiaoyun...
The girl who had suddenly appeared on the four-meter platform out of nowhere, who had stopped him from talking to Qin Xue, and who had previously caused many of his brothers to end up in jail.
Shi Lezhi's heart was full of hatred for this person. Despite her being very beautiful, he had no good feelings toward her at all.
But conveniently, Qin Xue had a very good relationship with Su Xiaoyun - so good that they were together every day.
Shi Lezhi didn't think too much about it, just assuming they were very close female friends.
Now if he wanted to build some rapport with Qin Xue, he might have to get past Su Xiaoyun first.
"It doesn't matter. As long as I can win you over, one woman is worth it."
Shi Lezhi clenched his fists tightly while continuing to flip through the photos on his phone. Eventually, he paused on one of them.
It was his favorite photo—a young girl wearing black silk stockings, her long, slender legs paired with a cold, aloof expression. He liked it way too much.
Only… in that photo, Qin Xue was holding the arm of a man.
He’d heard of that man before. His name was Su Yun, and he was Qin Xue’s boyfriend.
Shi Lezhi’s eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred as he stared at the photo. His expression was fierce, like he was ready to kill.
Shi Lezhi stared at that photo with eyes full of jealousy and hatred, his fierce expression looking as if he wanted to kill someone.
But this guy was easy to deal with.
Qin Xue was a rich girl, and maybe her background was something he couldn’t mess with. But this Su Yun was definitely just an ordinary student.
He’d start by taking down this pawn. Let the other side celebrate for a bit—then crush them slowly.
Shi Lezhi's current plan was to go to Qin Xue's classroom door tomorrow, try to gain some favor, and if possible, get her contact info. If he ran into Su Xiaoyun, he’d just speak nicely to her. As for that Chen Tingting matter, he would wait for things to cool down before dealing with it.
Although it seemed like a lot, it was actually pretty simple—he just needed to be patient.
For Qin Xue, Shi Lezhi was willing to wait.
“Su Xiaoyun… Su Yun… The names of these two people who are close to Qin Xue—why do their names look so similar?”
Shi Lezhi was thinking this when he suddenly realized something was off.
(PS: Su Yun's information wasn't leaked intentionally, but came from other classmates who were present at the time)
......
"Ring~"
A beautiful ringtone sounded in the quiet room.
Su Yun was studying seriously when she heard the ringtone and subconsciously checked the time.
9:24
At this time, it probably wasn't Qin Xue.
Dad.
Sure enough, after picking up her phone, Su Yun saw it was a call from her father.
"Yes, Dad, what's the matter?" She quickly answered the phone.
"Su Yun, are you free tomorrow? Take your uncle's car back to our hometown together."
"Hm?" As soon as she answered, Su Yun heard her father's somewhat urgent voice.
Was there a way to change her ID card?
This was good news, but hearing it now, Su Yun inexplicably had a bad feeling.
"Tomorrow I have review classes, nothing major, just need to ask for leave."
"Then ask for leave tomorrow. It might not be that easy to handle, driving there takes a whole day, so ask for several days off."
"Mm." Su Yun responded to her father's words on the phone.
After a few minutes of conversation, Su Yun decided to ask her father to help her request five days off, which with Saturday and Sunday would be seven days total.
With these days, she could catch up on missed classes when she returned, and if she came back early, she could continue attending classes.
Finally, Su Yun and her father agreed to meet tomorrow morning at eleven o'clock downstairs from where she currently lived.
"Teacher, I need to ask for leave to go back to my hometown for something..." After hanging up her father's call, Su Yun immediately called her academic advisor.
To ask for so many days off, besides Su Yun making the call, her father also needed to explain the situation to the advisor.
Only after going through all this tomorrow morning, submitting a lot of paperwork, would the leave request be officially approved.One had to admit, university procedures were a hassle.
By the time all of this was done, it was already 10 p.m.
Because they were going to be apart for a while, Su Yun messaged Qin Xue shortly after.
(Sister Xue, I’ll be going back home for a few days)
She typed that sentence in the message box and then paused to think:
How should she explain this so that Qin Xue wouldn’t worry?
Then she started thinking:
Why does she still feel like she needs Qin Xue’s approval to go home?
Was it really just because of work?
After thinking more, she realized—
Besides work, deep down she still cared about how Qin Xue would feel.
Su Yun hesitated for a while before finally sending that message.
Once it was sent, she started thinking about how to quickly follow up with an explanation.
But what immediately appeared on the screen was the large red message:
It was glowing red at the front of the chat window.
