Su Yun lay quietly on the cold floor for a long time.
Finally, she remembered her original plan.
Eloping with Qin Xue.
She had to go back to her hometown, so she'd take Qin Xue back to her hometown with her. That way they could be together.
But thinking was easy - now Qin Xue didn't even have the intention to talk to her, let alone go with her.
"..." Su Yun felt very desperate. She stumbled to support herself against the bed and stood up, then heavily collapsed onto the bed.
She began thinking wildly.
Abandoned...
"Ding." Su Yun lay like this, not knowing how much time had passed, until a message vibration from her phone brought her scattered pupils back into focus.
Su Yun struggled to lift her head and look at her phone again, discovering it was already eleven-thirty.
She had been lying there for almost an hour, completely motionless like a dead person the entire time.
"Qin Yuanyuan?" She was somewhat surprised to see the message on her phone.
Su Yun quickly crawled back up from the bed.
She excitedly opened that message.
(Qin Yuanyuan: I'm not angry about what you said to me before, come quickly and see my sister)
(Qin Yuanyuan: Come quickly! Sister has been crying because of you!)
"Eh..." Su Yun looked at these messages and was stunned for a moment.
What did this mean?
Qin Xue had been crying because of her?
Didn't she say she didn't want to talk to her?
Su Yun thought about this, her nerves tensing up.
"As expected, that person said something." Not long after, Su Yun had an epiphany and bounced up from the bed. Due to being too excited, this bounce almost made her head hit the ceiling.
Qin Xue was being threatened not to talk to her, It wasn't because she disliked her.
At that moment, Su Yun saw hope again.
(Can your sister talk to me now?)
Su Yun sent a message to Qin Yuanyuan.
(Qin Yuanyuan: She can, but my sister won't let me in her room now...)
Soon, the other side also sent a message.
"Now..." Su Yun looked outside. The sky was already very dark.
Qin Xue was being threatened, so her mood should be as difficult as her own right now.
Su Yun hummed a few times in consideration, then finally sent messages to both Qin Yuanyuan and the maid.
That was her plan.
Only after they both understood did Su Yun put down her phone and lie on the bed.
Finally, the plan was set for tomorrow morning, because she had just learned from the maid that the eldest sister went to bed very late at night, so going now would be easily discovered.
Moreover, Su Yun wanted to be safe. Tomorrow morning when she had energy, while that person was sleeping, she would kidnap Qin Xue.
Her only hope now was expecting that Qin Xue would be willing to go with her.
......
......
Tonight, Su Yun didn't sleep peacefully. When she did fall asleep, she would inexplicably wake up from time to time, probably due to too much stress.
When the morning light of a new day fell into the room, Su Yun opened her heavy eyes.
"6:23, good, it's time." Although she felt very tired physically, she still climbed out of bed.
Su Yun simply washed up and got dressed before leaving.
Outside it was still somewhat dim, with only faint light visible.
At this time, the buses to Qin Xue's house hadn't even started running yet.
So why was she going out so early?
Last night Su Yun had already arranged with Qin Yuanyuan that if she could pick up Qin Xue in the morning, they would slowly walk back to avoid being discovered.
At the school gate, Su Yun saw that familiar white car.
"It's me, open the door."
Seeing Su Yun, the maid immediately opened the door.
"I'll go in first, you wait outside until I give you the signal to come in."
"Okay."
Their voices were very quiet, as if afraid of being heard. After briefly confirming the plan, the maid began driving steadily. They didn't speak again on the road.
......
After 20 minutes passed, seeing the familiar landscaping outside Qin Xue's house, Su Yun's nerves tightened.
The car stopped at a spot some distance from Qin Xue's house, then the maid got out first.
"Wait for my message."
"Mm." Su Yun stared intently at her phone, then after the maid left, she stood under a large tree waiting for her message.
She could slowly feel the people inside the house were waking up. Going now would be easily discovered, but now Su Yun felt the waiting was exceptionally torturous.
......
After about ten minutes passed, her phone finally vibrated.
(Maid: Eldest Miss is still sleeping, come in quickly!)
Seeing the message, Su Yun was delighted for a moment, then immediately started running. There were almost no people around, so she quickly reached the entrance.
The person in the security booth saw her but said nothing, quickly letting her through.
From the entrance, Su Yun could see from afar that the main door to Qin Xue's building was open, with the maid at the door holding a broom, pretending to sweep.
Once Su Yun entered this building, she immediately ran to Qin Xue's room door.
The door was still locked. If she knocked now, she might wake up the person sleeping upstairs.
But Su Yun had a key.
Given by the maid.
At that moment, Su Yun felt the maid was her benefactor, just like Zhang Deyi.
When everything got better later, she would definitely thank them properly.
"Click." With a gentle turn, the door opened.
Su Yun tiptoed inside.
Sister Xue...
Seeing the familiar figure right before her eyes, she almost cried.
After Su Yun entered, the maid closed the door for her and stood guard outside while pretending to sweep.
"Sister Xue." Su Yun, who had walked to Qin Xue's side, half-knelt beside the bed. As she looked, her eyes reddened and tears welled up.
Then she also noticed that Qin Xue's eyes were red, as if she had cried for a long time last night.
"Eh... Sister Xue, wake up." Su Yun took a breath, and worried about startling the sleeping girl, she gently pushed against her chest.
"Don't touch me." This time, Qin Xue didn't tremble like usual, but her voice sounded very angry, as if she wanted to hit someone.
"Sister Xue, it's me..." Su Yun heard the reply and felt confused, only hearing the other person's not-too-loud angry shouting.
"Hm?" Soon, Qin Xue opened her eyes. She looked at Su Yun in front of her, stunned.
"Sister Xue, you're awake!" Su Yun said with delight upon seeing this.
But Qin Xue just stared at her as if in a daze for a long time, never speaking.
"Sister Xue?" Su Yun waved her hand in front of Qin Xue's face.
"Mm..." The next second, Qin Xue suddenly climbed up from the bed and hugged Su Yun tightly.
"Little Sister Yun, I don't want to leave you..." Qin Xue held her head, her voice carrying a crying tone.
"Little Sister Yun, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to block you..."
Su Yun was held so tightly she couldn't speak for a moment, but hearing Qin Xue's continuous tearful apologies, her heart ached.
