Three hours had passed since she and Su Mu broke up in the cafe, but Xia Ju still didn't go back.
She wants to go back.
I'm thinking a lot, I want to explain, I want to say something, or I want to comfort Su Mu.
But I can't go back.
You can't go back like this.
"Sister, what are you doing here alone?"
This is already the sixth man to strike up a conversation with. He is a little more vulgar than the previous one, and he is also wearing the tight pants and shoes of a young man from society.
"roll."
In this regard, Xia Ju gave her sixth answer.
"Hey, why do you, a girl like you, talk? I didn't do anything, just talk so loudly and angrily."
The young man reached out his hand and wanted to grab Xia Ju's shoulders.
"Click."
Xia Ju just threw a hand knife and hit his wrist.
"Ahhh!!! My hand!"
The young man was rolling on the ground with his hands in his hands. He was not pretending, you could tell by looking at his twisted expression and the sweat on his forehead.
Xia Ju followed the artificial lake in the park indifferently.
There is no emotion towards the person wailing on the ground, neither sympathy nor disgust.
It was because of this that I didn't dare to go back, for fear of letting Su Mu see myself like this.
This is the complete opposite of my gentle self, a cold-blooded person who treats even the people he loves most——
"Hey, I promised you that I am the main personality, and I only come out as the secondary personality when I am in danger. You still say that to me?"
Xia Ju is talking to herself.
It seems so, but it's not.
This is a dialogue between two personalities. The personality in control of the body can still feel the mental activities of the other personality.
"Why do I control my body? How do I know? I didn't think of it. I was still sleeping soundly, and suddenly I was dragged into such an embarrassing scene."
Xia Ju pouted and said, "Don't ask me when I can go back. Ask yourself when you can come out and take my place. You think I am willing to stand here."
"You treat me as..."
"Do you have the courage to face him?"
Speaking of this, Xia Ju looked a little lonely, sitting on the grass, holding the lawn behind her with both hands and looking up at the sky.
"It's still gray."
It was clearly a clear sky, but she said this.
"However, little Orange, you should also understand that this is not my problem, but your own inner problem, right?"
“···”
"And I hope you understand what I hope for."
Xia Ju sat here for a long time, staring at the lake. When the wind blew, the water ripples would spread out in circles, and her mood calmed down unconsciously.
Her eyelids trembled slightly and her pupils shrank slightly.
came back.
"I know. You want to stay asleep."
Xia Ju murmured to herself and stood up with a lonely look.
You want to hand over all the responsibilities and consequences to me. You seem very strong, but in fact you are a coward who only knows how to escape.
coward.
but.
We are the same person, since you are a coward.
Then, am I not actually like that...?
···
It's almost evening, but Xia Ju hasn't come back yet.
Even though Su Mu knew that the shopkeeper uncle was her relative, thinking about it now, no one could be sure that it was not a lie told by the uncle out of pure heart to make Xia Ju leave her.
it's getting dark.
But when it came to going to the store to see her, Su Mu hesitated.
no no···
As a girl, Xia Ju, it would be okay if she was in the store, but if she ran around somewhere else because of embarrassment and made some mistake, it would be too late to regret it.
right.
At this time, he no longer wanted to be embarrassed, so Su Mu quickly put on his shoes and went out.
Finally, when I opened the door, I saw Xia Ju standing at the door.
But she didn't look like she was opening the door, she seemed to have been standing there for a while.
"Why didn't you knock on the door?"
Su Mu asked strangely.
"Sorry, I always feel like I'm causing trouble with you. I don't know if I should knock on the door."
Xia Ju's straightforward apology made Su Mu feel a little embarrassed.
"That's not your fault, it's just that Ye Chuxia is sick. On the other hand, it's because of my problem that you left a bad impression on your relatives."
Su Mu never blamed Xia Ju. This incident itself was not Xia Ju's fault. It was Ye Chuxia who suddenly jumped out and messed around when things ended perfectly, which led to this situation.
"But, if I hadn't started -"
"It didn't matter at first, it's over. By the way, have you eaten?"
Su Mu didn't want to mention those things anymore. When today was over, it was over. Tomorrow, he could go back to his original life. It was just one more coffee shop that he couldn't enter. Anyway, he didn't drink coffee at all.
"sorry!"
However, I don't know why Xia Ju still insisted on bowing her head and apologizing, with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Stop apologizing. It's really not your fault. Okay, okay, change your shoes and eat. When you're full, you won't think about that."
Su Mu pushed her to the seat and sat down, and said, "Actually, this is not a bad thing. Did the shop owner tell you that he is your father's friend?"
"Well, he showed me old photos with my dad, and I heard my dad talk about him before."
"That's right. Aren't you in a bad situation now? Now you don't have to squeeze in front of a grown man like me. He told me before that he would take you over to live here, so your problem will be solved.
Once it’s solved, I don’t have to call my parents and I can save face.”
"Hmm...woo."
She could bear it at first, but when she heard the fact that she was about to leave, the beads in Xia Ju's eyes finally dropped.
"No, this is a good thing! Why are you still crying?"
Su Mu scratched the back of his head, not knowing how to comfort him.
"Do you feel that you have never met that relative, so you don't want to live there?"
After thinking for a moment, Su Mu asked.
Su Mu has encountered this kind of situation before. He used to go to a city to play. His old father brought someone with him who he said was a very close friend of his before. Then he was persuaded by the adults and forced to take him there to play, but because he had never seen him
I had passed that person, so my stay was a bit awkward.
"Um."
Xia Ju reluctantly nodded.
"It's okay, you only live here for a month, and it will pass if you bear with it. We are no longer children, we are adults and we must learn - uh, did I say something wrong?"
Su Mu didn't quite understand why Xia Ju seemed to be more sad.
"Of course, if you want to continue living here, you can. I have no intention of not letting you live here. Speaking of which, I am not happy enough to have a girl to help me share the housework."
After thinking about it, there was only one possibility. It might make her feel like she was being driven away.
But it’s unlikely, right?
Compared to the discomfort of going to a relative's house, it would be more uncomfortable to be alone in a small room with a man you don't like, right?
"I want... to stay a few more days, is that okay?"
Xia Ju asked timidly.
"Of course, as long as you think it's okay."
Su Mu smiled and said: "And let me tell you another good news. I am going back to my hometown tomorrow. I won't be here these days."
"Woo."
"???"
Su Mu couldn't understand it anymore.
Could it be that his so-called good news equals Xia Ju’s bad news?
But no matter how much he said that he would go to his hometown to stay for a few days, it couldn't be considered bad news for Xia Ju that would make her want to cry, right?
