Chapter 48: Together Together
Su Li was thinking blankly about her mother coming and didn't move for a long time.
Dad thought her silence meant she was unhappy, so he said, "I originally wanted to tell you about this matter earlier, but seeing that you have been busy studying these days, I waited until today to inform you."
Su Li then turned her attention from "Mom is coming" to "They are getting married". She felt very unhappy. She didn't want her father to marry a new mother, but she was just a child in their eyes, no matter how much she objected.
If you don't use it, just keep silent and don't speak.
Dad didn't say anything anymore. Su Li went upstairs after eating. After entering the room, she changed the water of the rose first. The rose was not as fresh as before, and the petals were slightly wrinkled.
Many things, like this rose, have a shelf life, and so do feelings!
She sat down at the desk, took out her textbook, and suddenly found that the little snowball seemed to be missing. She immediately searched around the room, but couldn't find it. She went downstairs to look for it again, and her father asked her, "What are you looking for?"
Su Li said, "Little Snowball."
"Little snowball?" Dad was puzzled.
"My cat." Su Li said and went outside to look for her.
The street lights have been turned on outside, and there are couples and elderly people taking a leisurely walk on the side of the road.
The world is so big, it is not easy to find such a small kitten.
But despite this, she still looked around with a glimmer of hope.
This search led to her finding that at 9 o'clock in the night, her father called to urge her, "It's already very late. Come back quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow."
Su Li said, "But I haven't found it yet."
Dad said, "If I lose it, I'll buy you another one. Don't look for it again."
He won't understand that cats that look exactly the same can never be the same cat.
Su Li responded with a perfunctory "Okay", hung up the phone and continued searching.
After searching for a long time, I still couldn't find it, so I suddenly thought of the uncle who took away the little steamed buns.
"Did Little Snowball meet Little Steamed Bun when he was out for a walk, and then followed him home?" With this thought, she walked across the road. She had seen the uncle on the roadside once before, and remembered
I found the approximate location of his house. If I remember correctly, it should be in the building on the corner.
She passed the traffic light, walked to an iron door, reached out and rang the doorbell.
She thought that even if Little Snowball wasn't here, she could still take a look at Little Steamed Bun. She hadn't seen him for a long time and didn't know what he looked like now, whether he was fatter or thinner.
After the doorbell rang several times, the door was finally opened. The person who opened the door was the uncle who went to her house to ask for the cat, but he had obviously forgotten about Su Li and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Su Li briefly explained her purpose of coming, and the other party frowned, "Your cat didn't come."
"Then...can I take a look at the little steamed buns?" she asked.
"Little steamed buns?" The uncle looked confused.
Su Li quickly explained, "It's the cat you brought back last time."
"Oh." He understood immediately, but immediately looked apologetic, "My father passed away a while ago, and there was no one at home to take care of the cat, so he gave it to a relative in the countryside."
"Can I have it back? I want to buy it."
The uncle shook his head, "That cat couldn't catch mice, so it was killed and eaten by my relative within a few days of raising it."
What! Su Li couldn't believe what she heard.
Kill! Eat!
What a cruel word, she stood there in a daze, not daring to imagine how the little steamed bun would look like being killed. The red blood would dye its white hair, and she felt chilled all over.
The uncle apologized, "I didn't expect him to be like this." He looked at his watch and said, "Sorry, I have something to do and I don't have time to talk to you too much." After that, he closed the door.
Su Li stood at the door and did not leave. His words kept echoing in his mind, "That cat can't catch mice, and it was killed and eaten by my relative within a few days of raising it."
She felt particularly sad. If she had paid more attention to the little steamed bun after it was brought back, she would have known the news of the old man's death and would have bought the little steamed bun back, and such sad things would not have happened.
She immediately felt as if she had killed it with her own hands, feeling guilty and distressed. Recalling the past days when Little Mantou was by her side, she felt as if she had lost a relative.
When I returned home in a daze, my father and Aunt Qin were sitting in the living room watching TV, just like an old couple.
Su Li didn't tell them about the cat. She went up to the second floor alone and locked herself in the room.
Lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling, her mind was confused by the series of things that happened today.
Suddenly her phone beeped. When she opened it, she saw an advertisement promoting insurance. After reading it, she deleted it and opened the school circle, where she suddenly saw an eye-catching post.
The reason why this post caught her attention was because the picture displayed was of Gu Ling'an and Lin Qianxue.
The background of that photo is a classroom. Gu Lingan is sitting and Lin Qianxue is standing next to him. The two seem to be discussing a topic. Gu Lingan has a serious expression and Lin Qianxue looks at him and smiles sweetly. The whole picture looks like
It looks like a promotional poster for a campus idol drama.
Su Li clicked in with trembling hands. At the beginning of the post, she briefly introduced the situation of Gu Lingan and Lin Qianxue.
Gu Ling'an: A senior in high school, the school president is very good-looking, sunny and handsome, with excellent grades. He basically stays in the top three in every exam. He is the monitor of the class and has many suitors.
Lin Qianxue: Senior high school senior, school belle-level appearance, gentle and beautiful, with excellent grades. She basically stays in the top three in every exam. She is the deputy monitor. Her parents are teachers in the school. She comes from a scholarly family and has many suitors.
After introducing the two people, he specifically explained, "I have no other intention, I just like them. If they don't like them, I will delete the post immediately."
Below are several photos of them together. Some of them are discussing exercises together seriously, some of them are working together and writing blackboard papers, and some of them are walking in the corridor and chatting together...
Su Li looked at each one, feeling extremely jealous.
At the end of the post, he wrote, "The two top students didn't seem to be so close at first. Recently, they have been gradually getting closer after being assigned multiple cooperation tasks by the teacher. Watching their sweet daily interactions makes me happy.
Envy is sour lemon, how about you?"
There were many comments under the post, with some shouting, "Together! Together!"
Some lamented, "Beautiful love will always happen to others."
Some people were jealous, "No, Senior Gu is mine."
Su Li read every comment, and most of them contained slogans like "together".
She suddenly thought, what would she do if Gu Lingan was really with that Lin Qianxue?
After thinking about it seriously for a while, the answer I came to was, "I will be sad for a long time, but after a long time, I may let it go."
Chapter completed!
