Chapter Seventeen: The Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon of Binju

  Upon hearing this, Su Yi was puzzled and scratched her head: "Then how did Dad and Mom know?"

  "Who knows you." Su Yisou rubbed her somewhat sore arm, saying in a huff. This Su Yixin always uses so much force without knowing what's appropriate.

  "Alright," Su Yixin compromised and continued, "You should find some time to go back home, Dad and Mom have been acting strange lately, I always feel like they're hiding something from us."

  Su Yisu furrowed her brow and said: "I just called Mom last night, how come I didn't notice anything wrong?"

  "Because you're out of your mind."

  "I..." Su Yisu was about to speak up, but was interrupted by Su Yixin waving his hand, "You remember to go back and take a look." He then turned around and left.

  "Why didn't you come back?"

  Su Yixin stopped in his tracks and turned back, saying: "I'm busy."

  "Are you so busy?"

  "I... " Su Yixin's lips moved, wanting to speak but stopping herself, as if she had a thousand words and a thousand worries to express, but ultimately said lightly: "Not busy at all."

  "...the Su Yi's heart was already crashing against the wall."

  Looking at Su Yixin's departing back, Su Yisu said to the two girlfriends standing beside her who had not spoken up until now: "You guys say, he is obviously about the same age as me, why does he always put on an air of being older?"

  "Because others' mental age is indeed a thousand times more mature than yours." Jiang Yaoyao struck back without giving any face.

  Lin Wan nodded in agreement, "You're right."

  Su Yisu glared angrily, Jiang Xiaoqiang wrapped his arm around her and walked out, saying: "Sister Su, you should understand that having a brother to protect you is a very fortunate thing."

  Su Yisuo naturally didn't think so, "Having someone pressuring you from above is really terrible, having a younger brother who cares for you is a happy thing."

  "Are you talking about my brother?" Jiang Yaoyong burst out uncontrollably, "Good heavens, that guy, just give me a knife."

  "Alright, alright, I don't have any brothers or sisters, that's what's pitiful. Stop pretending to be miserable in front of me." Lin Wan couldn't take it anymore, every time this topic came up, she would put on such an exaggerated expression, flaunting her happiness and all that, but she had never seen anyone pretend to be so miserable before.

  "Hehehe......" The two of them leaned in, grinning from ear to ear and said: "Aren't we still here?"

  "Get out of here!" Lin Wei pulled open the paws of the two, taking a few steps forward like avoiding a snake's skin, pulling away from each other. "Disgusting!"

  "I won't!" The two of them started arguing again.

  The three of them ran far away like this.

  A figure emerged from the corner of a dormitory building opposite the backyard, her long bangs covering half of her face, but unable to conceal the gloom on her face. Her sharp eyes glanced over Su Yisuo and the other two people, dark and cold.

  She didn't come out from the corner until the three figures were completely out of sight, then she took out her phone and sent a message: "All information materials have been investigated."

  "Thank you, you can go back now. I'll take care of the rest myself, I need to plan carefully, if I need your help I will look for you."

  The woman glanced back and replied, then slowly walked out of the campus, disappearing into the depths of the crowd.

  Su Yisu and Jiang Zhanlin, Lin Wan sat on the wooden bench under the shade of the trees in the stadium, leisurely drifting away. However, Lin Wan was a bit depressed: "What about the walk? What about sunbathing? Is it just blowing wind again?"

  Su Yi Su held her chin with both hands, her face a picture of contentment, forming a strong contrast with Lin Wan. Upon hearing Lin Wan's complaints, she leaned back gently and rested against the trunk of the fig tree, patting Lin Wan's hand as a form of comfort, saying: "It's rare to have a leisurely day, so you shouldn't be running around everywhere..."

  Lin Lan was furious and shouted, "What's the connection between taking a stroll and running around?"

  At this time, Jiang Zuo was also leaning against the tree trunk with his eyes closed, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile lightly and say: "Don't you know that our Miss Su views exercise as a snake's gall? In her eyes, taking a stroll is just running about."

  "Alright." Lin Xiao suddenly lost interest, leaning back against Jiang Zuo's shoulder in a dejected manner, taking out her phone to chat with Uncle and incidentally mocking the two of them.

  After a long time, Jiang Zuo suddenly opened her eyes and saw Lin Wan chatting with someone on QQ while leaning on her. The corners of her mouth were still subconsciously curled up in a sweet smile. She felt that there was something going on, so she snatched the phone from Lin Wan's hand and exclaimed: "Lin Wan! I caught you! Last time you said I was... look at your silly face now, ah, it gives me goosebumps!"

  "Give it back to me!" Lin Wan struggled to hold onto Jiang Ya's arm, using all her strength to finally snatch the phone back, shoving it into her pocket and making a face at her, "What business is it of yours..."

  On the other side, the battle for the mobile phone was so intense, but Su Yisou just turned his head and said, "You have to give her a mirror, or she won't be able to see it."

  Jiang Zuo's face was covered in black lines as he said, "How is it that your thinking is always on a completely different wavelength from ours?!"

  "It's obviously your fault." Lin Wan rarely stood on the same front line as Su Yi Su.

  "I... you..." Jiang Zuo looked at someone with a smug face, then at Su Yisou who was confused about the situation, and after a long time, he squeezed out a sentence: "The teacher said it, my parents said it too, no early love is allowed!"

  Lin Wan had not yet responded when Su Yisu suddenly sat up straight and exclaimed, "I didn't have an early romance!"

  "Haha......" Lin Wan laughed so hard she was almost rolling on the ground.

  Jiang Zuo was completely speechless this time, looking at Su Yisou and saying: "Su big sister, is it better to say that you are innocent and kind or that your IQ is low?"

  "I told you earlier, she's just a little girl, her emotional roots haven't grown yet."

  Lin Wan's words had barely fallen when Su Yisu hastily argued: "Who... who said I didn't have any emotional roots? At least I still know someone likes me..."

  Jiang Zuo sat down again, without even giving her a glance, and replied indifferently: "Pretending to understand love when you don't will be the death of you."

  "Matou is right." Lin Wan nodded.

  "Hey, Lin Lu, I think you look just like someone."

  "Who?"

  "Sha Wujing! Master said it's right, Big Brother said it's right, Ah~~ Second Brother said it's right~~" Su Yisou imitated Sha Wujing's tone while making funny gestures, which made Jiang Ziya also unable to sit still and laugh until he couldn't breathe.

  "Get out of here!" Lin Wan made a gesture as if she was about to hit her.

  "Arhat, save me!" Su Yisou hastily hid beside Jiang Arhat.

  The three of them quarreled for a while, got tired, and sat back down to rest their minds. Jiang Zuo leaned comfortably against the tree trunk, with his hands propped behind his head, saying: "In reality, it's proven that when it comes to the seven emotions and six desires, human relationships and worldly affairs, Su Yisou is just lacking in wit, not completely clueless."

  "Regarding this conclusion, Su Da had already said it earlier." Lin Wan continued.

  "Okay, Su Da's eyes are very sharp."

  "Hmm..." Su Yisuo silently let out a cold hum, muttering to herself: Actually, I'm not completely clueless, I just like to show you my most innocent side, in my most beautiful and carefree years. Love? Who cares if I pretend to understand or pretend not to understand.

  Just then, Jiang Zuo's phone rang again. Lin Wan gave her a ambiguous look, and Jiang Zuo pretended not to see it, clearing her throat, answering the call, and putting on a fierce tone: "What is it?"

  Lin Wan leaned over and put her ear close to eavesdrop.

  "Hmm..." The other person clearly didn't expect Jiang Zhe to speak to her in such a tone, and was taken aback for a moment before asking: "Where are you? Are you free now?"

  "No time." Jiang Zhe Lian bluntly refused.

  Lin Lin took advantage of Jiang's inattention, quickly snatched the phone and stuck it to her ear, saying: "Handsome guy, we're very free, would you like to invite us to dinner? We're blowing wind under the banyan tree at the sports field, come quick!" After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for the other party's reaction.

  Jiang Zuo and Su Yisou stood there in a daze.

  Lin Lin swung her phone triumphantly and said, "Hiding and avoiding won't do, right? An ugly wife still has to meet her parents-in-law, just like a boyfriend can't avoid meeting his girlfriend's best friend!"

  "You big-headed ghost!" Jiang Zhe Lin slapped a loud slap past him, "Return my phone!"

  "If you don't pay back, what can you do if he doesn't come?"

  "He's not even my boyfriend!" Jiang Zuo Lin stamped her foot anxiously, "You're making me so embarrassed!"

  "I don't believe it." Lin Wan shook her head and asked Su Yisu, "Do you believe it?"

  "Don't ask me, I'm just a little girl." Su Yisuo said with a pout.

  The phone rang again, Lin Wan took a look and it was still the person marked as "him" calling. Suddenly, he sneered: "Do you think he's coming or asking for clarification?"

  "Give it to me!" Jiang Zuo snatched back his phone and quickly ran far away, making sure Lin Wei and the others couldn't hear before answering.

  "Hey, was that just now your friend?"

  "Yes, I'm her best friend, don't mind it." Jiang Yaoyong acknowledged with a stiff face.

  "So I have to go find you guys?"

  "Wait!" Jiang Zhan hastily stopped him, paused for a moment, feeling that his tone was too harsh, and then softened his voice, saying: "They're just playing around, we'll be back soon."

  Hanging up the phone and coming back, Lin Wan and Su Yi Su were whispering to each other, laughing as they spoke. Jiang Xiao knew that nothing good was going on and grumbled: "What are you guys doing?"

  "We were discussing what 'the wind, flowers, snow and moon' should be like in the world of friendship." Lin Wan replied with deep meaning.

  "What's wrong with being like this, we do whatever we want, exhaust all the sharp and sarcastic words to mock and belittle each other, yet still manage to turn it around and laughingly curse 'get out of here', then stick together and seek comfort..."

  "Are you sure?"

  "That's a must, in front of others, I'm also a quiet and gentle young lady..."

  Lin Wan made a vomiting gesture, "Too disgusting!"

  "Look, it's ironic," Jiang Xue immediately added, "our images of each other cannot be known to outsiders..."

  Su Yi pursed her lips, thought for a moment and felt that it was indeed the case, so she had no choice but to acknowledge it.

  "What does emotion have to do with us? Some people cry and some people laugh, we have our own romantic affairs."

  "Wind, flowers, snow and moon? Shouldn't that be extremely romantic and sweet? Who would have thought it would be so confrontational towards us?"

  Jiang Ya sneered coldly, "Elder sister, you yourself said 'Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon'."

  Lin Wan touched her nose and changed the subject: "Su, what words represent friendship?"

  "This one is more, don't forget me, full of stars, even lilies and carnations can represent friendship."

  "Your favorite."

  "Chrysanthemum by the Riverside."

  "Chrysanthemum again..." Jiang Zhe said discontentedly.

  "Do you have an opinion?"

  "Not at all, who dares."

  The three of them walked out of the stadium while talking.
