Chapter 77 Snow (2)

  The heavy snow lasted for a night, and the sky cleared up on the second day. The warm sunshine shone brightly in the silver icy world, making it look like diamonds under the spotlight, emitting dazzling rays that made people dare not gaze directly.

  The various plants standing upright in the campus were all covered with a new coat, crystal clear and transparent, making people immediately think of Cen Shen's poem, "Suddenly like a spring breeze came overnight, thousands of trees and pear blossoms opened", however, this sentence is not enough to describe the beauty inside the campus.

  Students were excited to take photos with each other on campus, commemorating the first snow of winter. Freshmen from the south had looks of uncontainable wonder on their faces. Some classmates who loved excitement had already started a snowball fight in twos and threes, while romantic couples on campus worked together seamlessly to build a snowman.

  Due to this heavy snowfall, the originally dull winter campus is filled with joyful laughter everywhere.

  "How beautiful!" Su Qi Ruo, who had just come out of the self-study room, was also infected by the joyful atmosphere in the campus. Like a child seeing his favorite toy, he happily rushed towards the snow pile closest to him, regardless of the cold winter day, and stretched out his hands to grab a handful of snow.

  Lu Ke stood silently beside Su Qi Ru, oblivious to the lively atmosphere of the campus, as if he had isolated himself in another sky. He gazed coldly at Su Qi Ru's childlike behavior, his heart unable to agree with it, yet without any criticism, only a hint of indifference in his demeanor.

  Just a moment later, Su Qi Ruo had gathered a small snowball. Suddenly, she had the urge to throw it at Lu Ke and see his reaction. However, when she glanced over at Lu Ke, his indifferent expression made her instantly calm down. It was as if she had already passed the age of playing in the snow. Moreover, it seemed like no one wanted to accompany her in being crazy.

  "I won't be attending self-study this afternoon because I have class." Su Qi said, dejectedly throwing the snowball to the ground, "I also won't be having lunch with you guys at noon."

  "Remember to go to self-study tonight." Lu Ke reminded with concern.

  "I know." Su Qi let out a soft sigh. Was it that by the time she reached her senior year, all that was left in her life was studying and finding a job?

  During class, Su Qi stared blankly at the new students playing outside the window, suddenly remembering when she was a freshman herself. Her dorm-mates were as happy as they are now, building snowmen together in the snowy grounds and lying down to gaze up at the starry sky. The four years of university flew by so quickly, and the once innocent freshmen have started rushing towards their respective futures. Among the eight people in our dorm, four took the postgraduate entrance exam, while the other four started working. As we chose different paths for our future, my sisters from the dorm began to drift apart, and the day when we would be separated is getting closer and closer. Time flies so fast!

  As soon as she thought of graduation, Su Qi Ruo's mood became melancholic, accompanied by the faint sadness were the precious memories of her four years in university. If Su Qi Ruo stayed on at her alma mater to pursue her graduate studies, she would see off each and every one of her sisters, watching them leave behind a backdrop that was also bidding farewell to her own youth and simple joys.

  "Su Qi Ruo, class is over, what are you thinking about?" Yu Si Si pushed Su Qi Ruo who was still in a daze. "There's a job fair later, I'll head back first."

  "Good." Su Qi nodded and watched as Yu SiSi left. Soon, I'll be watching you all leave school like this too?

  Su Qi walked slowly back to her dormitory, the sky suddenly darkened, Su Qi looked up at the sky, not knowing if it was because of her own sorrow, but the sky also became gloomy, it seemed like it was going to snow again.

  "Classmate——classmate——"

  "Who?" Su Qi stopped in her tracks, looking around but couldn't find the source of the voice. "Wasn't it calling me?"

  "Classmate——" Just as Su Qi was about to leave, a person suddenly flashed out from the trees by the side of the road. The person's movements were too fast, so much so that in Su Qi's eyes, this person seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

  "Are you calling me?" Su Qi stared at the white-clad girl in front of him, and he was certain that he had never seen her before. Such a beautiful woman with an icy demeanor would not be forgotten after just one glance.

  "Okay." The beautiful woman smiled at Su Qi Ruo, "Classmate, can you help me take care of my child?"

  "Child?"

  "Yes." The ice beauty smiled and beckoned to the thicket, and a tiger-headed boy came out of the thicket, rushed towards the ice beauty, hugged her thigh and curiously sized up Su Qi Ruo.

  "Your child?" Su Qi looked at the little boy again and then seriously looked at Bing Mei Ren, this Bing Mei Ren looked like she was at most five years older than herself, how could children be making soy sauce already? This is also too early marriage and childbirth.

  "Can you help me take a look?" The icy beauty asked sincerely.

  "Me? Sorry, I have something else to do. Can't you find another classmate?" This suddenly appearing ice beauty and her child, why do they look so strange? TV often reports that some people abandon their children under the pretext of asking strangers to take care of them, did I just encounter such bad luck?

  Seeing Su Qi suddenly become vigilant, Bing Meiren pointed to the girls' dormitory and explained with a smile, "I just went to the bathroom for a bit, I don't trust kids. I'll be out soon."

  "Oh! So that's it!" Su Qiwei clearly remembered that the girls' dormitory only had one entrance, and even if she wanted to abandon the child, there was no chance of escape. Thinking this way, Su Qiwei relaxed her tone and said, "Alright, but I really am in a hurry, can you make it quick?"

  "Alright." The American girl flashed a grateful smile at Su Qi and quickly entered the girls' dormitory.

  "Sister." The little boy rushed towards Su Qi Ruo with a smile, and immediately pounced on her, his affectionate appearance was just like seeing his own mother.

  "Good boy!" Su Qi rubbed the little boy's cheek, which was cool to the touch. On this snowy day, how long had the child been playing in the snow? "Where did you and your mom come from?"

  "Hmm..." The little boy thought seriously for a while before answering softly, "A very, very far away place."

  "So far away?" No wonder the little boy's face was so cold, it seemed like he had been out for a long time.

  Su Qi was moved by the little boy's cute appearance and chatted happily with him. After a while, Bing Mei still hadn't come out, Su Qi felt anxious, how could she be gone for so long? Standing in the snowy ground was almost freezing to death. Su Qi took out her phone to check the time, it had already been nearly an hour!

  "You...huh? Where's the person?" Su Qi Ruo was looking at her phone, and suddenly the little boy disappeared from view. She anxiously looked around left and right, and searched for possible hiding places nearby, but there was no sign of the little boy anywhere! "How could he disappear like that?" Should she look for his mother first? Maybe she had a way to contact the little boy. How did this happen? In less than a minute, a living person vanished into thin air?!
