Chapter 98 Can't Wait for Anyone

  Liu Xuanmo sent Xia Xi back home, and walked alone on the road for a long time. The evening glow spilled onto her delicate ceramic-like profile, and the place where her eyelashes cast a shadow hid her deep worries.

  She didn't want to go home, didn't want to face the empty and lifeless house. She raised her head to gaze at the sunset, saw the birds returning to their nests, and felt even more lonely, the desolation that always came flooding in at this time.

  After returning from the training session, she lay in the hospital for two days and also reflected seriously for two days. The night of indulgence with Xu Mufeng had a great impact due to the alcohol, although she didn't regret it, but the guilt towards Cheng Mu in her heart was constantly tormenting her already tense nerves.

  Cheng Mu was so good, so good that she couldn't pick out any flaws to use as a pretext for her emotions. Sometimes it was even difficult to quarrel with him, he could always make you speechless and accept his point of view.

  People who are too perfect always make others feel unreal, but Cheng Mu can always let you feel his presence at any time.

  His smile, his demeanor, his appearance, are all excellent, she sees them with her eyes, but they just can't be imprinted on her heart. It's not that she doesn't like him, it's just that her liking for him is shallow and natural, just like how one likes flowers, trees, or a beautiful piece of clothing.

  Liu Xuanmei found that she could be herself without any disguise in front of Cheng Mu, but in front of Xu Mufeng, she could only be like a panicked and flustered little girl. At this moment, she knew she was doomed.

  She should have loved Cheng Mu, but she was enchanted by Xu Mufeng's spell. Love is a despicable thing, perhaps it never should have existed.

  Xiao Mei thought it was time to break up with Cheng Mu, so after returning from training camp, she made her first proactive call to him.

  On the other end of the phone, Cheng Mu's voice was filled with joy. As soon as Xing Miao opened her mouth to call out his name, he happily interrupted her: "I haven't called you in these few days, I was thinking that if I didn't take the initiative to find you, would you take the initiative to come find me? Xing Miao, I'm so happy, you're used to having me in your life."

  Xiao Mei couldn't easily make up her mind, but was disheartened by his one sentence. This person, who was clearly excellent and not ordinary, would unintentionally reveal a childish side in front of her, making it impossible for her to be ruthless at this moment.

  "Cheng Mu, I have something to say to you." Xuan Miao said hesitantly.

  "What a coincidence, I have something to say to you too." Cheng Mu was secretly delighted by the so-called tacit understanding, and he had no idea what kind of determination Liu Xuan had made to speak up with this sentence.

  "Let's leave everything until tomorrow then. Tomorrow at 9 o'clock, you decide the location." Her words reached her lips but she still couldn't bring herself to say them.

  "Okay, let's go somewhere near your home, it's too hot and you shouldn't be running around everywhere."

  "Cheng Mu, Xian said with a sob, 'Why are you being so considerate, why are you being so good to me, I'm not worthy of it...'"

  The handsome young man on the other end of the phone had a pleasant voice, like a spring breeze sweeping across the land, gently brushing past Xian's heart. Her countless words and infinite apologies still couldn't be spoken out loud. This was said softly into the phone receiver: "See you tomorrow."

  That night, Xingmiao was almost sleepless. When she opened the door to Chengmu with dark circles under her eyes and a drowsy expression the next day, she was met with his warm embrace.

  Cheng Mu's body had a unique aura of youth that made Xuan Mo instantly sober up, and with a rational mind, she pushed him away and said: "Come in."

  Sitting firmly on the sofa, Cheng Mu looked at her with a faint smile. "Why do you look so down, is it because you're thinking of me and can't sleep?" As he spoke, he leaned in closer to Xing Qian's side of the sofa. Who wouldn't want to be closer to someone they liked, especially when there were only two people around, and that person was someone they held dear?

  Cheng Mu looked at Xue Bai's snow-white neck and the faintly visible collarbone, feeling his whole body stir up, as if only by getting close to her and smelling her hair fragrance could he calm down.

  He took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement, then said: "A piece of good news, I've been admitted to Tsinghua University."

  "Congratulations to you." It was originally an expected thing, and Xun Miao wasn't too surprised. Every year, there is a quota for direct admission to Q University from No. 1 Middle School, which is announced at the beginning of the third year of high school. In this year's third-year class, Cheng Mu's momentum was too strong, and it was no surprise that he obtained the qualification for direct admission. Moreover, Cheng Mu's father is an outstanding alumnus of Q University, adding to this relationship, his admission to Q University was a done deal from the start.

  "How can you not be surprised at all?" Cheng Mu smiled and scolded.

  "You deserve it, don't you?" Xian Miao looked at the joy between his eyebrows and felt happy for him. The best young man should have the brightest future.

  "It's just that I want to hear you praise me for a bit, but you're not giving me any face." Cheng Mu spread out his hands, with an expression of being helpless about her. "Sometimes I think, if only I could stay back one year, it would be great. Otherwise, when the time comes and I go to Beijing, while you're still in your third year of high school, we won't be able to meet often. But with your grades, getting into Tsinghua University is absolutely no problem."

  Cheng Mu was more confident in Liu Xuanmei's abilities than she was herself. The only thing he wasn't confident about was her attitude. This sentence seemed affirmative, but when he said it, his heart wasn't that resolute.

  "A year's time is neither long nor short, Xun Miao, can you wait for me?" Cheng Mu covered his hand over Xun Miao's, and in this hot weather, her fingers were icy cold, just like many times when Cheng Mu felt his heart was burning hot but Xun Miao remained calm.

  "Cheng Mu, sorry, I won't wait for anyone." Xun Miao pulled her hand out of his and looked into his eyes, her gaze rational and clear.

  Cheng Mu was taken aback for a moment, and the surprise in his eyes flashed by. He didn't quite understand Xing Miao's sudden reaction.

  "This is also what I wanted to tell you today, everyone's life is a long journey, in this process we will see different scenery and meet different people, sometimes we will stop for a flower, and sometimes we will choose someone to travel with, beautiful scenery needs someone to share it with, the long road also needs someone to accompany." Xuan Mei paused, seeing Cheng Mu's face getting colder, she continued to speak.

  "But the premise of this accompaniment is that we are walking on the same road, because at different stages, the people who accompany us may be different. I never thought about going to Tsinghua University, when we reached the fork in the road, we should have parted ways and continued to find someone who can accompany ourselves for the next leg of the journey."

  At this point, Cheng Mu finally understood her meaning. The joy that was overflowing from his eyebrows suddenly turned cold. He found it hard to believe that these words were spoken by Xuan Miao. Their relationship had been so good, why could she say such things about breaking up so easily? You can search for "冤家校草不易解?哈十八" on Baidu to find the latest updates of this book!
