Chapter 14: Does Four-Leaf Clover Have Happiness (Part 1)

  People always say that if you find a four-leaf clover, you'll find happiness. That's because the three leaves of a three-leaf clover represent hope, hard work and love, while the rare fourth leaf represents happiness. The meaning of the three-leaf clover is: even if you've worked hard, hoped and loved, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll find happiness - only when you find a four-leaf clover will you find happiness.

  The end of November swept away, and Jiang Fengchen did not appear in front of Su Yisou again, nor did he contact her. He disappeared thoroughly, as if this person had never existed. Su Yisou's life returned to calmness, and this small episode did not disrupt her life trajectory. Occasionally, she would still wander around with Jiang Ya and Lin Xiao, getting a little confused, teasing Su Yixin, and studying the flower language that she was infatuated with.

  The triangular plum blossoms on the balcony of the classroom are more and more radiant, reflecting people's faces in a different red. The three-leaf grass under the flower base is also thriving, with large leaves squeezing each other, unable to stretch out. After opening the thick leaves, the delicate main root is exposed, fragile as if it would break with just one touch. Probably... all the nutrients were given to the leaves, right? ... Su Yisu sighed silently and put that piece of three-leaf grass back in place. Li Shuiyan looked at her movements and couldn't help but roll her eyes, saying: "Su Yisu, are you very bored or what?"

  Su Yi's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and she strongly retorted: "I... I was just looking for a four-leaf clover..."

  "Are you looking for four-leaf clover in the rhizome?" Li Shuiyan didn't hide her contemptuous expression.

  "What's it to you?" Su Yisu said, pretending to be angry since she couldn't get around him.

  Li Shuiyan raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright, alright, don't bother about me, you just focus on finding it from the roots..."

  Su Yisu decided to ignore Li Shuiyan and ran to the other side of the balcony to search carefully. Having been in this classroom for so long, she already knew where to find four-leaf clovers. The flowerbed on the other side of the balcony, due to the lack of nourishing substances poured in by her classmates, had poor soil, and the three-leaf clovers that grew there were yellowish, small, and thin. However, it was precisely this kind of soil that hid many four-leaf clovers, five-leaf clovers, and even six-leaf clovers, although they looked a bit pathetic. But what did that matter? No matter how ugly they looked, four-leaf clovers were still four-leaf clovers, much more precious than three-leaf clovers.

  "Ding ding ding..." The class bell rang, and Su Yisuo walked back to the classroom with some regret. This four-leaf clover had been searched high and low by everyone in the class every day, and it was not easy to find it again now. In short, let things be. When fate comes, it's good luck.

  The last class was math, and Su Yisu found it too profound to understand, so she simply didn't listen. She propped up her chin, staring blankly at the teacher, pretending to be very serious about the lesson, while her mind had long since wandered off to who-knows-where. Li Shuiyan also disliked math class, but similarly, she didn't like spacing out either. Seeing Su Yisu looking not bored at all, she felt extremely unbalanced inside, so with the intention of disturbing her and preventing her from daydreaming, she once again used her elbow to nudge Su Yisu, then quickly struck a pose as if diligently taking notes before Su Yisu could react.

  This childish behavior was considered trivial by Su Yisu, and both of them had long been used to it. Su Yisu calmly turned her head and stared at Li Shuiyan, trying to kill her with her eyes. But unexpectedly, Li Shuiyan's head was lowered so low that she couldn't see Su Yisu's gaze, let alone the threat in her eyes.

  Su picked up a notebook from the desk and gently threw it at Li Shuiyan's hand - of course, she didn't do it lightly because she was reluctant to part with it, but because she was afraid of making too much noise and being discovered by the teacher.

  Who would have thought that the war strategy would fail again, and the notebook in her hand was not held steady, just touching Li Shuiyan's hand and it had a tendency to fall down. Su Yisuo exclaimed softly, hastily stretched out her hand to grab it, and the other hand blocked underneath to prevent it from falling down. Su Yisuo, who successfully grabbed the notebook, quickly looked up at the teacher, fortunately, their seats were relatively far back, and the teacher was writing on the blackboard with his back turned, without noticing Su Yisuo's small movement. She finally felt relieved, took a deep breath, closed the opened book page, and put it on the table.

  Li Shuoyan watched this series of actions with relish, and leaned in to whisper: "Look, even the heavens can't bear to watch anymore?"

  Su Yisu glared fiercely at Li Shuiyan and gritted her teeth: "Those who commit many injustices will ultimately bring about their own downfall!"

  "Sounds like you're talking about yourself?" Li Shuiyan retorted fearlessly.

  "A good woman doesn't fight with a petty man!"

  "Cut..." Li Shuiyan sat up straight, leaning forward to find something in the drawer. As soon as he lowered his head, he saw a four-leaf clover specimen that had fallen on the floor at some point, its faded dark green standing out against the light yellow floorboards. Li Shuiyan picked it up and asked Su Yisu: "Is this yours?"

  Su Yisu hastily picked up the "crime tool" book from earlier and flipped through it again, carefully taking the four-leaf clover from Li Shuixian's hand, putting it back in the book while saying: "It must have just fallen out, all of this is your fault."

  Li Shuiyan was dissatisfied and said, "How can you blame me again... It's clearly your own fault... Let's just verify it. However, since you've already found the four-leaf clover, why are you still searching day and night? Can't you leave some opportunities for others?"

  She gave it a glance and said, "Four-leaf clover, the four-leaf clover that represents happiness, who would dislike it? And..." She pouted her mouth looking at the four-leaf clover in the book, disdainfully saying: "This one is really ugly..."

  "Alright, you're right." Li Shuiyan fell silent, looking like she didn't want to say any more.

  Finally, school was over, and the people in the class went to eat one after another. Su Yisu finished reading the newspaper, but no matter how long she waited, she didn't see Jiang Zuo Lin coming to find her, so she ran out of the balcony again to look for her four-leaf clover.

  Just as she was getting into it, a low voice suddenly came from beside her ear: "Yi Su..."

  Su Yisu jumped in fright, reflexively shouting as she leapt up. When she saw it was Jiang Fengchen, she couldn't help but feel both embarrassed and annoyed, saying: "Jiang Fengchen, why do you always scare people from behind?"

  Jiang Fengchen heard this and his already somewhat anxious expression became even more uneasy, his head hung low, "I... I'm sorry..."

  Seeing Jiang Fengchen like this, Su Yisuo was completely unaccustomed to it. For a moment, he even felt that he had wronged him and couldn't help but become awkward as well. His hands didn't know where to put themselves either. He said: "Uh, Jiang Fengchen, I didn't mean anything else..."

  The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Jiang Fengchen hurriedly changed the subject, "What were you looking for just now that was so captivating?"

  Speaking of this, Su Yisu's interest suddenly came, and she forgot the embarrassment just now. Her expression became more and more radiant, saying: "Four-leaf clover, four-leaf happiness... do you know this legend?"

  Jiang Fengchen was taken aback and replied awkwardly: "I don't know..."

  Su Yisu tilted her head to the side and smiled, saying: "Perhaps only I would like these boring things. Although I know they are unreliable, I still obstinately cling to them, taking endless pleasure in them."

  Jiang Fengchen was just about to say something when Jiang Xiaoqin and Lin Wan appeared very timely.

  "Hey, you two are on a date again?" Jiang Zuo's voice rang out first.

  "It's not like that, having a new love and forgetting the old one..." Lin Wan sighed.

  Su Yisu's face suddenly turned red, she glanced at Jiang Fengchen and ran towards Jiang Zhan and others, scolding: "Don't talk nonsense, okay?"

  Jiang Zuo also knew about the matter between Jiang Fengchen and Su Yisou, but didn't make things difficult for her, sparing Su Yisou's embarrassment. He pulled her hand and said, "Alright, let's not talk about it, let's go eat." Then he shouted to Jiang Fengchen, "That guy, we're leaving now!"

  Jiang Fengchen could only silently nod and watch as the three of them left.

  Before she knew it, two days had passed. One evening during self-study, Jiang Zhan and Lin Wan mysteriously pulled Su Yisou to the dormitory, leaving her confused. When asked, they refused to say anything, only saying that she would know when they got back to the dormitory. Helpless, Su Yisou could only let them pull her to Lin Wan's dormitory.

  As soon as they entered the dormitory, Lin Wan magically pulled out two gift boxes and shouted with a bright smile: "Happy birthday!"

  "Huh?" Su Yisu was stunned for a moment, "Birthday?" After pausing for a second, she suddenly jumped up again, "Oh my god, today is my birthday! I totally forgot! Thank you guys...... Waaahhhh......" Su Yisu's face was filled with emotion as she opened the gift box and hugged the two of them again, shouting incoherently.

  "I knew you wouldn't remember," Lin Wan said with a knowing expression, pulling open the tearfully touched Su Yisu, urging: "Quickly take a look at the gift and see if you like it. We each prepared our own, without knowing what the other had given, hehe..."

  "Good." Su Yisu carefully unwrapped the packaging of the gift box, opened the lid, and a clover-shaped chain appeared before her eyes.

  Su Yisuo suddenly shouted again, hugging Lin Wan excitedly and saying: "Oh my god, four-leaf clover bracelet! Lin Wan you know me too well! I must wear it every day!"

  Lin Luo couldn't help but push away the person who was pressing down on her again, saying: "Shape, shape, I know you like it... Hurry up and tear off another one."

  Jiang Zuo also looked at the four-leaf clover bracelet sent by Lin Wan and smiled: "It seems we're on the same page."

  Lin Xiao looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Did you also send a four-leaf clover bracelet?" Jiang Zuo didn't respond. Su Yisou hastily unwrapped the package and found it was a pair of four-leaf clover earrings, with four green leaves shining softly in the light.

  Su Yisu was completely at a loss for words to express her excitement and emotion, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes as she said: "Thank you, my good sisters... but," she paused, then remembered something and added: "I don't have pierced ears..."

  "Uh..." Jiang Zuo rubbed his head, saying with difficulty: "I was so focused on finding the four-leaf clover for you that I forgot about this matter. You'd better treasure it well."

  "No," Su Yisu shook her head firmly and said: "I'm going to get my ears pierced tomorrow!!"

  "......" Jiang Ya and Lin Wan looked at each other silently, I gazed at you, you gazed at me, without a word.

  "I know these two gifts are hard to come by, so I will treasure them well!"

  Jiang Zuo shrugged and said, "I know you don't like those messy things, so let's just consider it a small gift and be done with it."

  Su Yisuo smiled and leaned on Jiang Zhe's body, saying: "I will love them more than my life."

  "Cut it out." The two exchanged a look of disdain.
