Chapter 88: Grant Me the Courage to Charge Forward

  "Go to Yin City to find him?" When Tan Ziyao said this, Su Yisuo couldn't help but feel a little confused. She thought of what Su Yu had said about moving the whole family to Yin City to settle down. Would that land she had never set foot on be like Jiang City, and give her a sense of belonging?

  Fell in love with a person, then fell in love with a city. But what if that person has already fallen out of love? Su Yisu felt a little uneasy.

  "Yes, distance is the biggest problem in front of you. Why don't you go find him? Maybe it can warm up the feelings between the two of you. Last time you had a falling out, didn't everything become fine again when he came back? Besides, you can also take this opportunity to test the waters. Killing two birds with one stone, how great!"

  Su Yisu was still hesitating, her emotions urging her to do so, but her rationality reminding her not to be too impulsive.

  "You really want to see him, don't you? What other excuse can refuse such a reason?"

  After seeing Tan Ziyao's message, Su Yisuo finally made a decision. Chen, I really want to see you!

  The Qingming Festival holiday is coming soon, and Su Yisuo didn't go home using the excuse of reviewing. The snowdrop flower on the windowsill finally bloomed a small bud under Su Yisuo's repeated calls. Before leaving, she watered the snowdrop flower, full of hope: "Snowdrop flower, please grant me the power to move forward bravely!"

  Camellia, symbolizing the power of moving forward bravely. When she saw this flower language at home, she liked it. Because whether it's her studies or love life, she needs such power.

  Jiang Zuo and Lin Wan leaned against the door, watching Su Yisou busily packing her luggage, a hint of worry on their faces.

  "Sister Su, you're alone and unfamiliar with this place, are you sure you want to do it this way?"

  "Yes," Lin Wan continued, "you've never been on a long journey, don't be too impulsive."

  Su Yisu raised her head and said firmly to the two of them: "As people say, life should have at least one trip that you can leave on a whim."

  "This is considered traveling?" Jiang Xiao Liang snorted in disdain.

  "How can it not count?!"

  "Looks like we can't pull her back now, she's got a stubborn temper." Lin Wan helplessly spread out his hands.

  Jiang Zuo looked at Lin Wan and then at Su Yi, still feeling uneasy, and asked: "Do you want me to go with you?"

  "This is my own business and I should be the one to deal with it."

  Jiang Zuo nodded reluctantly and said with a still calm tone, "If anything happens, call us immediately."

  Su Yisuo nodded silently. She knew that apart from her parents and Su Yixin, the two sisters were the most concerned about her. Not relatives, but better than relatives.

  After everything was ready, Su Yisu set off with a satisfied and proud heart. She knew where Jiang Fengchen worked at the bar, and she also knew where he lived. She knew all his specific addresses, and she was more than happy to appear silently in front of him, just like how Jiang Fengchen had silently returned to Jiang City. It seemed that they both loved playing this kind of game, and when two people were together, they would assimilate into each other.

  Su Yisu took a night train and would arrive at Yinshi Bus Terminal around 9 am the next day if there were no unexpected events.

  The lights outside the car window were dim, and Su Yisu's eyelids grew heavier. In the moment she fell asleep, she was still thinking: Chen. We'll be able to see each other soon!

  Yoon City

  A new day's sun rises slowly. Jiang Fengchen woke up from his sleep at 9 o'clock, rubbed his eyes dazedly, stretched lazily, and slowly got out of bed. He walked slowly to the window, pulled open the thick curtains. The dazzling sunlight poured in suddenly, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, it took a while to adapt to such an intense light.

  Today is a good day. Jiang Fengchen muttered to himself in his heart, vaguely feeling that something was going to happen, but somehow he couldn't grasp that thread of inspiration. Forget it. In the end, he had no choice but to give up.

  At this time, the mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrated, Jiang Fengchen hurriedly walked over to pick up the phone, and the screen displayed An Yiran's incoming call.

  "Hey, really?"

  From over there came a gentle and soft voice: "Feng Chen, are you awake?"

  Jiang Fengchen nodded, "Mm-hmm, just got up, what's wrong?"

  "In two days it's Qingming Festival, I want to go pay respects to the father of one of my benefactors. Will you accompany me to buy some offerings later?"

  "Okay, wait for me a moment, I haven't washed up yet."

  "I'll go find you directly, I've made breakfast and will bring it over, then we can head out."

  "Anyway, thank you." The windmill couldn't help but be moved, and sincerely thanked him.

  "What was that." An Yiran hung up the phone with a smile.

  Su Yisu finally got off the bus with a tired face. The crowd at Yin City Terminal was surging, she stood in the middle of the crowd and suddenly felt a sense of disorientation, like a panicked child who had rushed into a completely strange world, where every glance was met with unfamiliar people and unfamiliar scenery.

  "This road is so familiar, I have reason to believe you've also walked it before." She suddenly remembered this sentence. But why did she only feel a strong sense of strangeness at this moment?

  "Whoa!" Su Yisou slapped her cheeks vigorously, secretly mustering up her courage: "Su Yisou, since you've come all this way, what's there to be afraid of? Charge forward bravely!"

  She squeezed through the crowded flow of people, washed her face in the station's restroom, and finally felt refreshed. She took a deep breath and followed the crowd out of the station gate.

  Without any buildings to block the way, the warm and slightly scorching sunlight of dawn shone on her, she couldn't help but raise her hand to shield her eyes from the sun, looked around to get a sense of direction, and finally rushed towards the subway station. In just twenty minutes, she would be able to see Jiang Fengchen!

  An Yiran came over to find Jiang Fengchen with a sweet smile on her face, carrying breakfast. Jiang Fengchen had already finished washing up and was sitting on the sofa waiting for An Yiran to arrive. Almost as soon as he heard the doorbell ring, he got up and ran to open the door.

  An Yiran stood at the door with a smile, holding up the thermos in her hand and said, "Mushroom lean meat porridge, don't be disgusted."

  Jiang Fengchen hastily turned his attention away and let her in, smiling: "How dare you be so picky?"

  Upon hearing this, An Yiran became displeased, "Don't dare? That means you still look down on me in your heart?"

  "There's no 'no'," Jiang Fengchen's face turned red with sweat as he hastily explained, "You clearly know I didn't mean it that way."

  "Let's spare you for now." An Yiran maintained a thick smile, put the bottle on the dinner table, turned around and went into the kitchen to fetch bowls and chopsticks, personally serving Jiang Fengchen. "It's still good and hot, eat it while it's hot."

  Jiang Fengchen naturally took over the porcelain spoon handed over by An Yiran and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

  "I've eaten." An Yiran nodded.

  Jiang Fengchen had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

  After Jiang Fengchen finished his breakfast, An Yiran efficiently cleaned up the things on the table, washed the bowls and chopsticks, and turned around to say: "This thermos will be temporarily placed here with you."

  "Put it in the cupboard for now, I'll take it over later."

  "Uh-huh." An Yiran responded with a murmur, and at this moment, the phone in her pocket vibrated. She glanced at Jiang Fengchen before taking out her phone to check the message. Upon seeing the content of the message, she subtly curled up the corners of her mouth, put away her phone, walked out of the kitchen, and said to Jiang Fengchen: "Fengchen, let's set off? If we wait any longer, the sun will be scorching hot, and there will be a lot more people."

  Su Yisu had just exited the subway station and was walking excitedly towards Jiang Fengchen's residence. The highway occasionally had cars driving by, emitting sharp horn sounds, and roadside vendors would appear from time to time, selling all sorts of delicious snacks. However, none of this existed in Su Yisu's eyes. As she got closer, she became increasingly nervous, imagining the surprised expression on Jiang Fengchen's face when he saw her. She couldn't help but let out a giggle. Chen, can you feel it? I'm just one foot away from you now?

  As she saw the residential area where Jiang Fengchen lived in front of her, Su Yisuo excitedly smiled and was about to quicken her pace. At this moment, two intimate figures slowly walked out of the residential area, and Su Yisuo could even hear the man's joyful laughter.

  Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively hid in the corner, not daring to come out. Only when the voices of the two people faded away did she slowly move her feet, trembling as she walked out from the corner. The silhouettes of the two were still in front of her eyes, with the woman intimately holding onto the man's arm, chatting and laughing as they walked further and further away.

  She clutched the backpack tightly in her hand, the veins on the back of her hand bulging out, and her whole body was trembling. Her lips were bitten tightly together, trying to suppress herself from making a sound. The next second, she finally couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth, sobbing softly, two lines of clear tears silently sliding down her face.

  Jiang Fengchen, don't you want me anymore? You finally don't want me anymore?

  My heart is aching violently, it hurts, it really hurts. Jiang Fengchen, so this is what heartache feels like, it's piercing my heart with pain. I'm right behind you, can't you turn around and take a look at me? Just one glance, just one will do.

  But the two of them still walked hand in hand, laughing and chatting as they went further and further away.

  Su Yisu's palms were covered with bloodstains from her fingernails, but she didn't feel any pain. Her tear-stained eyes stared fixedly at the two blurry figures in front of her, as if trying to burn them with her gaze.

  Am I dreaming? Is it in a dream? Yes, it must be. Once I wake up, nothing will have happened. Car after car drove by on the side of the road, blowing up clouds of dust. Su Yisu rubbed her eyes hard, trying to convince herself that she just got sand in them.

  She let out a sob and turned around dejectedly, rushing across the street, almost getting hit by a speeding car.

  "Ah!" Su Yisu let out a subconscious scream, opening her eyes to find that the car had stopped right in front of her, just a few centimeters away from her body.

  She was still in a state of shock and fear, the driver rolled down the window, stuck his head out and scolded loudly: "Can't you watch where you're going? Want to die or something?"

  Jiang Fengchen, who was in front, heard the familiar scream and couldn't help but turn his head to take a distant look. He said to An Yiran beside him, "What's going on up ahead? That voice seems so familiar."
