The Fourth Most Heartbreaking Thing When You Like Someone (13)

  Tang Sugar quietly walked into the classroom with a big question mark in her mind, and saw Gu Xian Nian and Tong Hua leaning against the window watching the sunset. They were very close, occasionally saying something to each other. The sky that afternoon was unlike usual, it was yellowish, as if someone had spilled orange paint all over the sky. But the orange-yellow color gave people a feeling of coldness, rather than warmth, and seemed to be hiding a gloomy atmosphere.

  The afterglow of winter gave their silhouettes a faint halo, beautiful and warm, quiet like a poem. Even when their classmates came in and saw them, they unconsciously lightened their footsteps.

  Tang sugar quietly sat down in her own seat, trying not to look at them, but couldn't help it.

  They're really well-matched!

  Classmates came in one after another, but the classroom was unusually quiet. Everyone stared at them, staring at the red sun setting outside, that red sun was strangely and eerily red.

  It suddenly changed weather when the third lesson was half way through.

  The dark clouds hidden under the orange finally burst out, covering the entire sky, and that charming red sun was also swallowed up by the rolling black clouds, nowhere to be found. The fierce wind, like a vengeful evil spirit, screamed all the way, sweeping across the sky and earth, and the storm arrived on schedule.

  When school was over, many classmates who didn't bring an umbrella were detained by the heavy rain and took out their mobile phones with anxious faces to ask for help from their families.

  Tang sugar was not well treated by her aunt since she was a child, and her father was busy traveling outside for years. She had developed the ability to take care of herself from a young age. She took out the rainbow umbrella that she had prepared early on, and as soon as she opened it, Gu Xianyun suddenly appeared under her umbrella with a bright smile on his face, as if nothing unpleasant had ever happened between them. Tang sugar was startled and stood frozen in place, at a loss for what to do in the face of this sudden situation.

  "How about it, aren't you willing to go home with me?" Gu Xiannian said this on purpose, appearing extremely confident, as if he had already taken Sugar's consent for granted. In fact, that was indeed the case. His eyes still made Sugar's little heart thump wildly, like she had won a big prize, so excited that she couldn't speak, only knowing to nod frantically.

  She originally thought it was very cold, but suddenly she felt like her whole body was on fire. She pulled the scarf tied around her neck tightly, it was too tight, so hot.

  Tang Tang pretended as if nothing had happened and looked around, puzzled, asking: "Where's Tong Hua? Didn't she come home with you?"

  She had something to attend to and left first.

  Although Sugar thought his explanation was far-fetched, she didn't want to delve deeper. Sometimes life is like that, if you don't dig deep, it's calm and peaceful, but if one day you wake up and want to take a closer look, it's easy to discover the decay and decline hidden beneath the surface.

  It wasn't until after Tang Su had been deceived by Gu Xi Ye many times that she gradually came to understand this principle, but at that time, she was deeply entangled in the web of love and only knew how to cherish every opportunity to be alone with Gu Xi Ye, because it was too hard to come by.

  She didn't want to delve deeper into the concerns in her heart, she was afraid that if she asked too much, the fairy tale might suddenly appear in front of her and Gu Xianyun, with a light hook of his finger, Gu Xianyun would obediently follow her.

  Tang sugar is very clear that he has no status in Gu Xian's heart at all, let alone leaving a place for himself. She doesn't even have the qualification to be chosen by him, and Tong Hua is the only answer in his heart.

  Although I was just a substitute today, Sugar still hoped that the time on the field could be extended as much as possible.

  Two people walked in the heavy rain, Tāngtáng held an umbrella, she tried to cover Gu Xīnián with it, while her own half of the body outside the umbrella got completely soaked, especially her face which had no protection and was hit by the cold winter rain, feeling both painful and cold. But she felt that the fire in her heart was burning fiercely again.

  The atmosphere was very awkward.

  Gu Xian has been silent for a long time, looking very worried. Tang sugar didn't dare to speak, afraid that any word would make Gu Xian unhappy.

  Two people walked out of the school gate, and when they passed by the pomegranate tree that had already shed its leaves, Tang Sugar couldn't help but glance at her hiding spot, as if she saw herself hiding behind the tree, tiptoeing to peek at the school entrance, a pang of sadness in her heart.

  "Come here, Gu Xian!" A fairy tale-like voice came through the wind and rain.

  Tang Tang's heart tightened, and she subconsciously followed the sound with Gu Xian Nian to look over. Tong Hua was standing under the rain awning at the entrance of a small shop not far away, one foot suspended in mid-air, and one hand leaning against the wall of the small shop. The owner was driving her away impatiently: "Get out! Don't block my storefront!"

  The dog stood still and didn't move.

  "Let's go take a look," said Gu Xiannian with a hint of entreaty.

  Sugar didn't say a word and walked with him under the umbrella.

  "In the past, I sprained my foot." Before the two of them had even entered, Tong Hua's eyes were already welling up with tears as she coquettishly said to Gu Xiang.

  "Let me see!" Gu Xiannian immediately squatted down at Tong Hua's feet, holding up the foot that hadn't touched the ground: "Is it this one?"

  "Ah! Don't touch!" Tong Hua cried out in pain, Gu Xiannian quickly let go of his hand and tensely said: "I didn't do it on purpose!"

  "Get her out of here quickly, don't block me from doing business!" The shop owner said furiously.

  "Just go! Don't shout, the more you shout, the less I want to go!" Gu Xiannian fiercely shouted at the shop owner for two sentences. Tangtang had never seen him like this before, he was really anxious about the toy.

  She turned her face to one side.

  "Aren't you supposed to be sent home by Lin Zimu? How did it end up like this?" Gu Xiannian couldn't help but ask.

  "Never mind, just now he was riding a bicycle carrying me and collided with a small car, and was taken away by the traffic police, so... Ah, don't ask so much, it hurts!" Tonghua cried out.

  Tang Sugar was staring blankly into the distance when she suddenly felt someone grab the handle of her umbrella. She turned around to see Gu Xian Nian looking anxious, saying: "Tang Sugar, you go back by yourself, I need to take Tong Hua to the hospital now." Without asking for Tang Sugar's opinion, he took the umbrella from her hand and supported Tong Hua as they walked to the corner of the road opposite them, where he hailed a taxi.

  Only Sugar was left standing alone in the cold storm, feeling unbearable chill from head to toe, her teeth chattering and her whole body shivering nonstop.

  Her face couldn't tell whether it was the cold rain or scalding tears, only feeling a complete blank in her mind, knowing only to bite tightly on her lips, not letting out a sound, not wanting to attract strange glances from passersby, stubbornly taking one step at a time towards home.

  As she passed through the city park, the weather was terrible and there were no tourists. Tang Su's pretended strength finally collapsed at that moment, and she burst into loud sobs, feeling as if all her energy had been drained away in an instant. She could only lean against a plum blossom tree, letting tears flow wildly, and when she inadvertently raised her head, she saw the beautiful plum blossoms blooming in the cold wind and rain.
