Chapter 71 With love, life will bloom

  Jiang Fengchen accompanied Su Yisuo back to the school gate and left. At that time, it was already approaching eleven o'clock. The security guard on duty happened to be the one who had stopped Jiang Fengchen last time. The campus inside and outside was quiet and deserted, with few pedestrians. The security guard's attention was also concentrated, and he recognized Jiang Fengchen, whom he called "outsider", at a glance.

  Su Yi let out a soft sigh and slowly walked back to her dormitory with a somewhat cold and lonely expression.

  As soon as she returned to the dormitory, she was startled by Lin Wan and Jiang Yaoming, who suddenly popped out. She was about to scold them with a smile, but when she saw their dark faces, she immediately felt guilty and stuttered: "Y...you guys are doing what?"

  "What's wrong with you, sneaking out at night without even bringing your phone? Where did you go?"

  Listening to Jiang Zhe's interrogation, Su Yisu finally felt that after calling the class teacher, her tense heartbeat still couldn't calm down. In a panic, she only remembered to tell Li Shuiyan, but forgot to bring her phone out. So she smiled and said, "I didn't go anywhere, you see I'm back perfectly fine? You guys should go back to sleep, it's very late..." As she spoke, she tried to push the two of them towards their dormitory.

  Jiang Zuo and Lin Wancai didn't buy it, standing firmly in place. Lin Wan's face was cold as she said: "Leniency for those who confess! Severity for those who resist! You snuck out without a word, to meet which handsome guy?"

  Su Yisu innocently blinked her eyes and said seriously: "Of course it's Jiang Fengchen."

  "Huh? Jiang Fengchen specially came back to celebrate your birthday?"

  "It's nothing." Su Yisu replied with a relaxed tone and a smile.

  Jiang Zuo and Lin Wan exchanged a glance, then turned around and walked in opposite directions, one to the east and one to the west, towards their respective dormitories. "Those who value material wealth over friendship are not worthy of consideration!"

  "Hey! Do you have to be like this?!" Su Yisu shouted at the two of them, but only got their silent backs in return.

  “Sigh…” Only when the two had disappeared from view did Su Yisu let out a deep sigh, gazing at the swaying tree shadows in front of the building with a worried look on her face. Ah, Zhang and Li, it’s precisely because I know you care about me that I can’t let you know my worries. Eileen Chang once said, “It’s only when you get close that you realize how strange they are.” I didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence before, but now reality has taught me in a very direct and cruel way.

  The treetops in the darkness swayed gently, as if echoing her sorrow. But how could you understand? Su Yisu shook her head and walked into the dormitory with her head down. Another day had passed. Those unconnected calls and unread messages would just have to be that way! Goodnight!

  After a good sleep, Su Yisou threw away all the depression from last night. Jiang Fengchen was summoned back by An Yiran for an urgent matter early in the morning of the second day. Before leaving, Su Yisou didn't even have time to see him, and she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. However, these emotions were all hidden deep in her heart.

  This afternoon, there was a physical education class. Su Yisou saw several workers carrying small potted plants from outside the school, carefully moving them in. The lush green leaves were particularly eye-catching on this bleak autumn and winter day. Although the winters in the southern region didn't have many trees with yellowing leaves falling off, that patch of green still caught people's attention. Faintly visible were also small orange-yellow flowers blooming on it. Su Yisou couldn't help but take a few more glances. As she walked past the workers, she could even smell a strong fragrance.

  "How fragrant!" she exclaimed involuntarily.

  "What smells so good?" Li Shuiyan was chatting with her classmate next to her and didn't notice the worker walking in.

  Su Yisuo leaned towards those few potted plants and puckered up her lips.

  Li Shuiyan followed his line of sight and immediately let out a snort, disdainfully saying: "One look and you can tell it's been cultivated in a greenhouse, otherwise how could it have grown so well? On such a cold day, it's still blooming with flowers."

  Su Yi Su said discontentedly, "There are many flowers that bloom in the cold winter!"

  "Yes, yes, yes," Li Shuiyan obviously didn't want to discuss this with her and perfunctorily said: "Can't compare to a professional like you, hurry up, or you'll be late."

  Su Yisu was dragged by Li Shuiyan, taking three steps and turning her head to look at those potted plants. She had a question that had been entangling her mind: What kind of flower is that?

  After class, Su Yisuo hastily threw down Li Shuiyan and rushed back to the campus. She was eager to know what kind of plant it was. After circling around the campus for several times, she finally found their shadows in a flower bed near the teaching building, with a sign next to it that read: "Milan Flower, Meliaceae, Michelia".

  "Rice flower?" Su Yisu muttered to herself, lightly sniffing the fragrance in the air, and then walked towards the classroom with a thoughtful expression.

  When Li Shuixian and several others returned to the classroom laughing, Su Yisuo had already searched for information about Milan flowers on Baidu. As soon as she saw Li Shuiyan return, she excitedly rushed towards her and shouted: "Li Fenqing, I know what that flower is!"

  Li Shuiyan looked at her silently for a moment, pulled over a chair and sat down, then reacted calmly and asked: "What flower?"

  "Milan flower! The flowering period is indeed not now... It seems you were right..."

  "Cut." Li Shuiyan snorted in derision.

  Su Yisuo looked at her with a face full of expectation, "Why don't you ask me what the flower language is?"

  "What's the language of flowers?" Li Shuiyan asked in cooperation.

  “Ahem!” Su Yisu coughed lightly and sat up straight, looking at her phone as she read: “Jasmine is a popular ornamental plant that emits a fragrant scent when in bloom. As an edible flower, it can be used to extract fragrance. Potted jasmine can be placed in the living room, study, or entrance hall, creating a refreshing and elegant atmosphere. In southern courtyards, jasmine is also an excellent landscape tree. When placed indoors, it can absorb sulfur dioxide and other pollutants from the air, purifying the air. The language of flowers says that with love, life will bloom!

  After listening to her ramble on for a long time, Li Shuiyan's face finally turned dark, "Next time please get straight to the point."

  "Hmph! Doesn't know a good thing." Su Yisou also let out a cold snort, turning her head away and ignoring her.

  Through the window, Su Yisuo could still hear the howling wind outside, and Jiang City really became cold as soon as it was said to be. The basketball court downstairs was in an uproar, and Su Yisuo slightly turned her head over, looking down through the branches of the phoenix tree, vaguely seeing that many boys had gathered there. It's probably the season for basketball games again, she thought to herself.

  Tilt her head a bit more, and Su Yisuo could barely see the newly moved-in Milan flower, its small branches swaying in the wind, and she seemed to smell that rich fragrance again.

  With love, life will bloom. Su Yisu couldn't help but recite this sentence again, her eyes unconsciously drifting towards the sky. Chen, probably, we'll be like that too? Two people together, it's about constantly grinding and smoothing out each other's sharp edges, learning to tolerate and understand each other in disputes and losses, ultimately blooming a flower that never withers.

  At dawn, I miss you.

  Jiang Fengchen sat in the passenger car and suddenly let out a sneeze. Strange, who's thinking of me? He smiled slightly and reached up to adjust the air conditioner above his head.

  At this time, the mobile phone in his hand suddenly rang, Jiang Fengchen was startled, and he lowered his head to find that it was An Yiran who had called over. He quickly pressed the call button and said, "Yiran, what's wrong? I'll be back soon."

  "Wind... Wind Chen..." A weak voice came from the other side.

  Jiang Fengchen's heart tightened involuntarily, "Yiran? What happened?!"
