Chapter 1111: Gathering Storm Clouds

  Jiang Fengchen came out of the kitchen and asked, "Who sent me a message?"

  "Oh... what sales, I deleted it by the way." An Yiran's expression stiffened for a moment, but since it was only fleeting, Jiang Fengchen didn't notice. On the other hand, towards An Yiran, he had been suspicious of her surrounding city. A woman who could protect him with her life, what else was there to be suspicious of?

  "Oh." So Jiang Fengchen didn't suspect anything and busied himself wrapping up the dishes, saying: "We can have dinner now."

  An's eyes shone with an unusual light, "Really good, this is the first time you've cooked for me, I must savor it carefully."

  In the low-key place, An Yiran's cold smile and sarcasm in the corner of her eyes were deeply reflected on the bright white dinner table. Su Yisuo, beautiful dreams are easily broken, pain will make you grow up faster. So, let me give you a push then.

  After a comfortable day or two, Su Yisuo began to get busy. The opening ceremony, safety lectures, freshmen meeting and other meetings came rushing in like a torrent, carrying heavy chairs running between the dormitory and various venues every day, Su Yisuo could even clearly feel his strength slowly being consumed.

  "Ugh... I'm exhausted! Who said university life is easy!" Su Yisuo collapsed onto the chair like a limp noodle, complaining weakly after returning from another safety lecture that evening.

  Li Yi sat behind her, leisurely peeling an apple. Hearing what she said, he couldn't help but smile faintly, cutting off a small piece and walking over to directly stuff it into her mouth, saying: "Come come come, let the sweetness of the apple soothe your wounded heart."

  "Hmph!" Su Yisou chewed with force, mumbling indistinctly: "Even the Queen Mother's ambrosia can't comfort me now!"

  "You think you're so great." Liang Xiaojing turned around with a hint of a smile, "That thing is not something that someone as ordinary as you can touch?"

  Su Yisuo suddenly wailed, "Can't even think about it, can people still live?"

  Li Yi and Liang Xiao Jing both helplessly spread their hands. They turned around to busy themselves with their own work. As for Su Yisu's temperament, even though they had only known her for just over a week, it was already enough to understand that she was a simple little girl whose emotions were all written on her face.

  Su Yisu saw the two of them silently back to her, feeling bored, and could only find something to say to continue: "Where's Lu Que?"

  "Go on a date? The other person's boyfriend has already enrolled in this school."

  "True happiness..." Su Yisu leaned her head back deeply, resting against the back of the chair. And involuntarily thought of Jiang Fengchen again. If Jiang Fengchen hadn't dropped out, maybe now they would also be in the same university. It must have been in Yin City.

  Long-distance relationship... will it really have a result? She couldn't help but feel bewildered again, thinking that there were so many potential enemies waiting for her in Yincheng. The feeling was as if there was a huge net slowly and quietly approaching her, Jiang Fengchen. And the relatives around her who she hadn't noticed were slowly or violently pulling her over, on an unsuspecting day, perhaps when she was laughing happily, perhaps when she was hurting painfully. In short, at that moment, suddenly. Irreversible.

  Sometimes sixth sense can be so accurate it's scary.

  "Sue Yu Su!!"

  It seemed like someone was calling her name beside her ear, Su Yi suddenly came back to herself. But she saw Li Yi who was already close to collapse and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

  "What are you asking me for? I'd like to ask you what for instead! Su Yisuo, has anyone ever told you that your daydreaming skills have reached the realm of perfection? What's gotten into you? You just drifted off into a reverie!"

  "Yes, all my high school classmates said that." Su Yisuo didn't blush at all, "What were you just going to say to me?"

  "Lu Jian just sent me a message saying that his family member wants to invite us for a midnight snack!"

  "Ugh... I'm not going... " Su Yisu rubbed her forehead, "I don't like to join in this kind of commotion."

  I wasn't someone who likes to join in the fun from the start anyway.

  "Okay, then we'll go, you stay in the dorm and take care of things."

  Su Yisu heard this and couldn't help but scowl, "Watching the house... why did I suddenly think of a watchdog..."

  "Hmph......" Liang Xiaojing couldn't help but laugh, "I've seen people self-deprecate before. But I've never seen anyone as good at it as you."

  "Whatever, it's not surprising to hear anything from Suyisu's mouth." Li Yi took over the conversation with a disapproving tone, "Let's hurry up and go, haha, so we won't keep them waiting."

  After Li Yi and Liang Xiao Jing left, the lively dormitory suddenly became quiet. Since school had just started not long ago, the large dormitory was empty, looking around, it felt desolate. Su Yi Su suddenly felt a sense of loneliness surging up in her heart. And before this, being alone was her favorite as well as most accustomed way of life.

  The lonelier you get as you grow up?

  She thought for a moment and decided to give Lin Wan a call. But to her surprise, the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering.

  "Where did they all go……” She muttered to herself, then flipped through Jiang Zuo's phone number again, hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up. Forget it, at this time, how could Jiang Zuo possibly have the free time to answer her call?

  So boring, it's just her alone. Jiang Fengchen, what are you doing?

  The streets of Yincheng were bustling. An Yiran and Xiao Yan walked hand in hand on the sidewalk, carefree and spirited.

  "But you're coming out at this time, aren't you afraid that the bar will be too busy?"

  An Yiran was initially uncomfortable with Xiao Yuan's nickname, but eventually had to accept it reluctantly, and now she's used to it. When Xiao Yuan asked her, she slightly raised the corner of her mouth and joked: "What's there to be afraid of? There are so many people in the bar. Besides, you're the biggest boss and you're not worried, why should I, a mere agent, worry?"

  Xiao Yan silently sighed and said, "Although the bar was left by my father, I couldn't take care of it myself. Every time I get close, I involuntarily recall the past and feel resentful towards those people, eager to avenge. I've been trying hard to restrain these strong thoughts in my heart, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to control."

  "So, Yan, are you going to take action?"

  The little swallow gently shook her head, "Every failure of action is a stark reminder to me that attacking from the outside will never succeed, their fortress is too hard. So," she said here, suddenly smiling mysteriously at An Yiran, "I'll have to consider your affairs first."

  "Me?" An Yiran looked at her with a puzzled expression, "What is it that I need to consider first?"

  Xiao Yan didn't answer her directly, but instead smiled mysteriously. "Well, you like Jiang Fengchen, how much do you like him?"

  "Huh?" An Yiran was completely stunned this time, "Why did you suddenly ask that?"

  "Have you ever thought about marrying him and having children, growing old together?"

  "Get married and have children, grow old together..." An Yiran murmured this sentence repeatedly, as if muttering to himself, yet seemingly asking Xiao Yuan, "Is it possible?"

  "As long as you're willing, nothing is impossible!" Little Yuan chuckled and encouraged her, "Besides, I'm here for you, aren't I? I'll help you."

  An looked at her speechlessly, "And you said, last time you tricked us into going back... uh..." As soon as she thought of that night's infatuation, her cheeks couldn't help but flush red, even though the person in front of her was her own sister, and even the mastermind behind it all. But this kind of thing, really is quite embarrassing to talk about.

  Xiao Yan took in her reactions and couldn't help but laugh: "Well, you're blushing now, it's really lovely to see..."

  "Good little girl, you actually know how to make me happy. Look at me not beating you to death." An Yiran's face turned red with anger and embarrassment, raised her hand as if she was about to hit him.

  "Alas, alas, alas! Little Yuan, you're blocking me again and again. But this isn't like you at all! If you keep this up, I'll have to tell Jiang Fengchen the truth!"

  An Yiran withdrew his right hand, with a hint of a smile, "Anyone can talk to Jiang Fengchen, except you."

  "Okay." Xiao Yuan suddenly lost energy, "It's quite late, I'm going back, otherwise I won't make it to the dormitory's lights-out time."

  "Let's go quickly, the bus stop is just ahead."

  Sitting on the bus, Xiaoyan quietly gazed out of the window at the neon lights flashing by, and suddenly a wave of sadness surged up in her heart. Over the years, she had been ill, and had also given up on herself, but what had supported her all along, making her strong enough to keep going, was that little bit of hatred that had never disappeared from her heart.

  In order to avenge herself, she had done many things that hurt others. In the end, even she couldn't see herself clearly anymore. Perhaps after a long time, there will be many people who hate themselves, but then again, who can pity her? And how many people still remember that those who are hated must have pitiful aspects to them.

  In this world, there won't be anyone who is purely good or purely bad. She just always believed that in some corner of the world, there must be a weak spot that touches her heart.

  Consider it settled then.

  It's time to do something for your loved ones! Su Yisu, Jiang Fengchen is ultimately not yours, not yours.

  An Yiran returned to the bar with a dazed expression. Xiao Yuan's words were still swirling in her mind, like a toxic poison that had taken hold and couldn't be shaken off. Marriage, children, growing old together... Jiang Fengchen, if only it could be possible, she really hoped for such a day.

  "Really, you're back?"

  Jiang Fengchen's voice sounded above her head, An Yiran lifted her head up, gazing at Jiang Fengchen's smiling face, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed, "Oh, yeah..."

  An Yiran felt a bit off, and Jiang Fengchen couldn't help but feel worried, asking: "Yiran, what's wrong?"

  "Oh, it's nothing, maybe I'm just a bit tired. A rest will do me good." An Yiran couldn't help but glance at him with some trepidation, lowering her head in embarrassment as she hastily replied and walked past Jiang Fengchen towards the resting area.

  Jiang Feng gazed blankly at An Yiran's hastily retreating back, his heart growing increasingly perplexed. What was wrong with An Yiran?
