Chapter 19 of the Ninth Meditation: Can silence be exchanged for unwavering loyalty until death?

  "What?!" Hearing Su Yisu suddenly blurt out this sentence without warning, Jiang Zhan and Lin Wan both jumped in fright. Lin Wan couldn't help but forget about her self-pity and concern for the legendary uncle, and hastily pulled on her arm, saying: "What are you talking about, losing love for no reason? If you want to comfort someone, it's not like this! You and Jiang Fengchen aren't doing well?"

  Su Yi looked at her with a distant gaze and said, "Perhaps all along, there has been an invisible chasm and trap waiting for me to jump into. I didn't notice it, so I jumped in, and once I did, I would encounter all sorts of obstacles and dangers. In the end, I will be consumed by such predicaments, inevitably."

  Listening to the inexplicable words coming out of Su Yisu's mouth, Jiang Ya and Lin Wanru exchanged a glance like falling into fog, both seeing deep doubts in each other's eyes.

  Jiang Zuo gently patted Su Yisou's shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"

  Su Yisuo's eyes drooped, and she handed her mobile phone to her.

  Jiang Zuo took the phone with a suspicious look, and Lin Wan also leaned in. The screen displayed the chat page between Su Yisu and Tan Ziyan.

  Tan Zi Yao: "Su Niang, there's something I don't know if I should say..."

  Su Yisu: "Hey, when did you become so gossipy? It's not like you."

  Tan Zi Yao: "Ai, Su Niang, let me send you a photo."

  Under this message, a photo of Jiang Fengchen and a woman is prominently displayed. From the photo, it can be seen that they are having dinner at a restaurant, and the woman is smiling as she feeds food from her bowl to Jiang Fengchen. This intimate action suggests that there is something between them, and no fool would believe otherwise.

  "Who is that girl?" Jiang Zuo and Lin Wan looked up heavily. Looking at Su Yisou, who had already recovered his calmness, he asked cautiously.

  "It's all right."

  "It's just that..." Jiang Xiao Li exclaimed subconsciously. She stopped halfway, feeling somewhat inappropriate, and looked at her worriedly, saying: "Su, what do you want to do?"

  Su Yisu raised her head, forcing a weak smile and pretending to be nonchalant: "What's the big deal? When soldiers come, we'll fight; when water comes, we'll dam it. I'm not going to take my own life easily. Let's hurry back instead, that's the most pressing matter at hand. Lin Wan, watch out for your uncle Fa, if he catches up, I'll push you out and run away myself."

  "Goodness! Who are you?!" Lin Wan exclaimed. She hastily pulled Jiang Zuo and Su Yi Su, turned around and ran: "Hurry up and go, Jiang City is too dangerous, it's safest at home! Hmm!"

  The three of them started running desperately towards the train station again. Until they got on and off the train, Jiang Chuo and Lin Wan tacitly avoided mentioning Jiang Fengchen's affairs. At this time, the most important thing is for Su Yisou to figure it out herself, after all, love is only between two people. No matter how others intervene, they cannot resolve the emotional knots and gaps between them. And Su Yisou obviously didn't want to say more, so why would they insist on exposing her wounds at her most painful moment?

  Su Yisuo walked silently along the small path back home. The summer leaves of the banyan tree were dense and lush, thicker than last year, with branches stretching out on both sides, completely blocking out the sky, making it difficult for sunlight to filter through. Walking on this small path, Su Yisuo only felt a slight coolness. But in her heart? It had already been very cold since she saw that photo.

  Jiang Fengchen, if meeting you is a beautiful mistake, then would my persistence at this moment be an unforgivable mistake? But if I endure it for a while and pretend to know nothing, will you stay with me forever, supporting each other until old age?

  As long as the ending is good, I can bear any pain in the process. Jiang Fengchen, this sentence is so well said.

  "Sui Su! Why are you walking so slowly? How many more ants on the road haven't been trampled to death by you?" A sudden rebuke came from above her head, Sui Su mechanically lifted her head and was shocked to find Sui Xin looking at her with a playful expression.

  Seeing Su Yixin again, Su Yisu inexplicably felt a warm feeling in her heart. Before she could even think about her expression, she stared blankly at him and blurted out, "Su Yixin, how did you come back?"

  Su Yixin found it strange and asked in surprise, "You're really weird, you finished the exam and went on vacation, but I'm not allowed to take a break after graduation?"

  "What's the date today?! You're already on holiday?!"

  "Number 20, no need to be polite." Su Yixin deliberately twisted the meaning of her words and replied with a smile.

  Su Yi couldn't help but feel a little speechless, and directly walked past him towards home, "You'd better go wherever you need to go quickly, don't say I wasted your time later, I won't be able to bear that kind of accusation."

  Su Yixin pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his head, "So you've seen through me too, won't even let me live a good life?"

  But Su Yi walked silently ahead, her head held high and didn't look back, continuing on her way.

  Looking at Su Yisuo's silent and somewhat cold back, Su Yixin felt a inexplicable sense of unease in his heart, "What's wrong with this guy? Why do I feel like he has something on his mind?"

  Su Yi walked further and further, finally stepping into the house. Su Yi Xing was puzzled, but he could only furrow his brow and busy himself with his own affairs. After all, he had a long time at home, so he wasn't afraid of not being able to dig it out.

  Su Yisou entered the courtyard and called out as usual: "Ma, I'm back."

  When Shen Xiulan, who was busy in the kitchen, came out at the sound, Su Yisou had already disappeared from her sight.

  "Huh? What's wrong with Su?" Shen Xiulan muttered to herself in confusion, shaking her head and turning back into the kitchen. Her two children were always doing things that were beyond people's expectations.

  Su Yisuo trudged up the stairs with heavy footsteps and flopped down onto the couch. The white mosquito net above her head made everything seem hazy, Su Yisuo stared at it intently, suddenly her mind went completely blank. Not thinking about anything was probably for the best.

  The phone rang at this time, she hurriedly sat up and picked it up to take a look. Seeing Jiang Fengchen's call on the screen, she was stunned for a moment, her empty hand clenched into a fist, but finally relaxed lightly.

  "Hello? Chen."

  "What's wrong?" Hearing Su Yisuo's somewhat dazed tone, Jiang Fengchen couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. "Are you taking an afternoon nap?"

  "Huh? Oh...... um......" Su Yisuo responded randomly, and to make her words more convincing, she even deliberately let out a deep yawn before continuing: "Just woke up, my brain isn't working well yet."

  "Sleeping so much, be careful you'll turn into a pig." Jiang Fengchen said with a low chuckle, teasing.

  "Have I become a pig in sleep that you don't want me anymore?" Su Yisuo responded with an air of nonchalance.

  Jiang Fengchen also smiled lightly and replied: "That's right. So, it's better for you to sleep a little less."

  Su Yisu's eyes drooped down and she changed the subject: "Chen, when will you be back? I miss you."

  He suddenly stopped on the other side, and Su Yisuo felt inexplicably tense. Chen, are you going to say you don't want me?

  "Sorry, Su," Jiang Fengchen's voice was slightly remorseful after a few seconds of pause, "Forgive me for not being able to stay by your side all the time... I miss you too..."

  Upon hearing this, Su Yi smiled lightly and said, "I just said it casually, what are you feeling guilty about? I won't make a fuss for no reason."

  "I've always known you're this great."

  Su Yisu wiped away her tears, two lines of clear tears suddenly falling, but still trying to maintain a calm tone: "You know it's fine. Okay, I won't tell you, my brother is back, I'll go take a look."

  The phone hung up, and the tears that had been suppressed finally fell down. Jiang Fengchen, will the bitterness end and sweetness come? When two people are together, is it necessary for one person to compromise a little for this love to be complete? If so, I'm willing.

  "Sui Su, come down!" Suddenly, a shout came from downstairs, and she hastily responded with a "yes" and went downstairs with a "thud thud thud".

  "Huh? Su Yixin, what's that you're holding? Grass?" Su Yisuo exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the basket of green plants in Su Yixin's hand.

  "Damn it!" Maotao's surprise was met with Su Yixin's disdain, "This is traditional Chinese medicine!"

  "What kind of Chinese medicine is this..." Su Yisu muttered to herself, opening her eyes wide to take a closer look. When she saw the cluster of green with some faint red small flowers, she couldn't help but exclaim again, "These are flowers!"

  Su Yi Xin was completely speechless this time, "Is it that in your eyes, anything that can bloom is called a flower?"

  "Really!" Su Yisu nodded and curiously asked: "What's the name of this flower?"

  "Purple Violet." Su Yixin also had no choice but to admit it, the flower was indeed a flower...

  "Wow, the name is not bad! Does it have a flower language? Let me check!" Su Yisu subconsciously ran upstairs to grab her phone, but was pulled back by Su Yixin, "What are you running for, first help me dry this."

  Taking over the basket that he had abruptly handed over, Su Yisuo glared at him sullenly, "Why don't you dry it yourself?"

  "I'm tired. What kind of person is this, having me go help him carry it, and then also wanting me to dry it in the sun..."

  "Who is it?"

  "Don't tell you." Su Yixin glanced at her lightly and turned around to walk into the living room.

  "Whatever!" Su Yisu pouted and muttered to herself, walking over to the wall of the courtyard, picking up the basket of purple flowers and spreading them out to dry.

  Su Yisuo walked back into the living room and Su Yixin immediately asked: "Su Yisuo, do you know your Gaokao scores?"

  "Uh..." Su Yisu looked at him with a knot in her brow, "Can't we just not discuss such heavy topics?"

  Su Yixin glanced at her with disdain, "Do you think that by not saying anything, you don't have to face it? It's been so long, shouldn't there be some results already?"

  "Haven't you experienced the college entrance exam before? Don't you know when the results come out? They only came out on the 26th, and today is just the 20th."

  "Alright then, just remember to apply for universities in Yin City."

  Upon hearing this, Su Yisuo's face flashed a complex emotion, but she only silently nodded.

  Yin City, a place where she gathered so many close people, would it really be her resting place?

  Pansy, longing, eternal love, silent and unspoken.
