My Girlfriend is the Cutest in the World

  The atmosphere changed in a split second.

    He and she were too close to ignore. Lu Yuanyuan jerked her head back violently, taking the opportunity to move his hand away as she raised her hand to run through her hair.

    Her eyes stared fixedly at the wall next to her. Looking at the mottled stone wall, she thought that she was a bit embarrassed: “… you’re the fool.”

    She really didn’t dare to look at him…

    Lu Yuanyuan was somewhat baffled. Recently, why did she feel the Senior Su seemed more and more… attractive1? Handsome?

    But, every time she used to see him, she also think he was super super handsome, but it was more so admiring something good-looking, unlike now.

    Just looking at each other for a moment, she could feel her heart slamming.

    The two of them stood outside for about ten minutes.

    The rain had lightened a bit, Su Lin noticed at a glance. In fact, it was already to the degree that they shouldn’t get wet if they used an umbrella.

    However…

    It was with great difficulty that he got this chance to be alone with her.

    He didn’t want to leave. Looking at the little girl’s face, her expression was vaguely awkward, her voice too.

    “Lu Yuanyuan,” he leaned slightly back, thought about it, and spoke again, “You… really don’t read the forum?”

    At his words, she quickly turned her face to look at him, her lips parted a tiny bit, obviously stunned.

    “…”

    He didn’t know why, but he was suddenly sure of his thoughts.

    With this reaction, how could she not have seen it?

    Su Lin immediately smiled. Narrowing his eyes, he was just about to open his mouth to ask-

    When the phone in his pocket vibrated, the ringtone ringing out.

    He paused for a moment to look at the caller ID. Then, he looked up and said to her: “I’ll take a call.”

    Lu Yuanyuan nodded.

    She watched him swipe the phone screen, then put the phone to his ear and lowered his eyelashes, “Mom.”

    Without avoiding her, he took the call right beside her, and the words he said reached her ears word for word.

    “Well, just like that.”

    “It’s still okay.”

    “No need to give me any. I have enough.”

    “…”

    Lu Yuanyuan originally lowered her head, listening. Previously, he answered everything smoothly, but he was suddenly silent for more than ten seconds as if stuck.

    She raised her eyes with some confusion.

    Unexpectedly, she locked eyes with him as he looked over.

    His black eyes glowed as he stared at her steadily, unblinking. Only after a while did he curl his lips and say, “- soon.”

    Soon?

    What was happening soon that he had to stare at her and say?

    Lu Yuanyuan was a little bewildered at first, but on second thought, he may have been chatting and was looking around, coincidentally meeting her eyes.

    Sure enough, he soon turned his head and continued to talk to the person on the other end of the phone.

    It was his mother, huh.

    It turns out that this is what Senior Su looked like when calling his family.

    Although he sometimes showed a disgusted expression, his lips had always been curved, his facial features very soft. His words were few, but there was not the slightest impatience in his voice.

    His entire person became very warm.

    Looking at the side of his face, she suddenly recalled a memory from earlier in the day.

    She had received a phone call, too, today.

    From her dad.

    At that time, shortly after waking up, she had just sat up from bed, and her phone suddenly vibrated next to her pillow. When she read the caller ID, she froze for a moment before picking it up and calling out “Dad”.

    He had called her once since she started college. A month and a half later, this was the second time.

    She gripped the phone and quietly listened to the person on the other end say a few words, her heart welling up with loss, but without any surprise.

    The baritone voice over there was the same familiar tone, without the slightest warmth, it was like going through the motions. His words were just to ask her again how much she needed to live on.

    Lu Yuanyuan didn’t immediately answer.

    Until the person’s patience ran out and began to prompt her, she gritted her teeth and said, word for word, “I don’t need your money.

    “I got a job as a tutor, and the pay is quite a lot. I can live on my own without asking you or asking my grandparents for money.”

    “Dad.” Initially, her eyes were dry from just waking up. The more she said, the harder it was. Finally, her other hand began to wipe the sore eyes as she tried to cover up her sobbing, “You… don’t call me again in the future, okay? “

    You don’t want me, don’t want to call me, so don’t call, okay?

    After that sentence, the man did not say anything.

    He seemed to sigh, and then he hung up.

    She took the phone away from her ear and sat on the bed with her head lowered, tears dripping down her fingers on her sheets.

    In fact, after so many years, she should have gotten used to it.

    But sometimes people were like that. Even if you know what he will say on the phone this time, you will still have unrealistic fantasies.

    With expectations of him asking even a sentence of ‘are you are happy in school’, ‘if there were conflicts between roommates’, or, simply, a sentence, ‘Dad misses you’.

    But fantasy was fantasy after all.

    It’s also good to have cried and figured it out.
