Su Rou woke up unusually early the next day, her eyes still slightly red. Just as Sister Wang walked in, she saw Su Rou slinging her schoolbag over her shoulder and about to go out. "Miss? Why are you up already? It's only..." Sister Wang checked her phone. "Just after five."
It was so strange. Miss Su Rou had actually changed her ways. Getting up so early was truly inconceivable. Usually, she wouldn't wake up until nine o'clock. Was the sun rising in the west today?
Su Rou put her index finger to her lips. "Shh, Sister Wang, keep your voice down. I'm going to school."
"So early?" It was just dawn. It was dangerous to go to school at this time.
Su Rou nodded. "Yes."
"What's wrong with you?" Su Rou was acting so strangely. Sister Wang asked worriedly. Since Sister Wang started working in this villa, this was the first time she had seen Su Rou act so peculiarly!
"Nothing. I'm leaving." Su Rou gave a faint smile and casually walked around Sister Wang, heading for the door.
"Wait! You haven't had breakfast yet!" Skipping breakfast was extremely bad. It could easily lead to stomach problems, and long - term breakfast - skipping could also cause hypoglycemia.
Su Rou looked natural. She turned the doorknob and walked out as she said, "I'll buy something on the way."
"Ah... okay."
Su Rou closed the door behind her and took a deep breath. She hadn't yet figured out how to face Su Yuze. She didn't want to be in the same space as Brother Ze at all. It would be so awkward.
When Su Rou arrived at school, the main school gate was still closed. She had to enter through the side gate. However, the classroom door was also locked. She rolled her eyes. It was just a little after six. Who would be crazy enough to come to school this early like her?
Bored, Su Rou squatted down beside the door and took out her phone to play Flappy Bird. But before she had played for long, she heard Jiang Ling's voice. "Xiaorou?" Seeing the small figure squatting at the door, he felt an indescribable sense of heartache. She looked as if she had been abandoned. "Why are you here so early?" Usually, it was a miracle if she wasn't late. Today, she was even early!
Su Rou looked up, also a bit surprised. "Why are you here so early too?" So there was someone else as crazy as her.
Jiang Ling was a bit speechless. "The teacher gave me the key. I'm in charge of opening the door." In other words, he was the doorman. It was no wonder Su Rou didn't know. After all, she had never been on time for school, so naturally, she didn't know that Jiang Ling came specifically to open the door.
"By the way, why are you here so early today?" Jiang Ling asked curiously. Seeing Su Rou at this time was simply a miracle, the first in over two years.
Su Rou let out a soft sigh. "It's nothing."
Jiang Ling gave her a curious look. "Come in. It's cold outside."
Su Rou walked into the classroom. After sitting down, she started reading books and solving problems. All that could be heard was the rustling sound of her pen. Jiang Ling stole a glance at her. Did she come to school so early just to study?
Finally, he couldn't hold back anymore and walked over to Su Rou. "Xiaorou, about the matter I asked you last time, whether you want to study abroad... do you have any intention?" With Su Rou's ability, it would surely not be difficult for her to get into a foreign university, and her English speaking skills were perfect.
At the mention of studying abroad, Su Rou's pen paused slightly. Study abroad? To be honest, she really wanted to right now, as long as she didn't have to see Su Yuze. But at the same time, she felt a bit reluctant to never see Su Yuze again. Su Rou frowned. "I'll think about it. Maybe I'll go."
Jiang Ling's eyes lit up. Had she changed her mind so quickly? "Great. If you decide to study abroad, you must tell me!"
"Okay."
...
When Su Yuze woke up, Sister Wang had already prepared breakfast. But there was only one portion. Su Yuze immediately noticed something was off on the dining table and asked, "Why is there only one portion of breakfast? Where's Xiaorou'er's?"
"Miss has already left."
"What?" Su Yuze didn't react at first. What did it mean that she had already left?
Sister Wang wiped her hands with her apron, served a bowl of thick soup, and then said, "Yes. Miss left before dawn." She also found it very strange, but Su Rou hadn't said the specific reason. As a nanny, she didn't dare to ask too much.
Su Yuze frowned deeply. He looked at the door, and sure enough, only Su Rou's small cotton slippers were there. She had really left! What was going on? "What's wrong with her?"
"I don't know. When I came in, I saw Miss carrying her schoolbag and going out. I asked her why she didn't have breakfast first, but she said she would buy something on the way." Seeing Su Yuze's expression, Sister Wang found it terrifying, and her voice involuntarily softened.
... Su Rou had been in a bad mood since last night, and today she had left without saying a word!
"Master?" Sister Wang called out to him timidly.
Su Yuze casually ran his hand through his slightly messy short hair. "I'm going to the company."
With that, he walked out without looking back, leaving Sister Wang standing there in a daze. Was the master just going like this? Without even having breakfast? What on earth was going on!
Su Yuze drove his car at a breakneck speed with a stern look on his handsome face. Su Rou, what on earth are you angry about! If you have any grievances, you can vent them on me. What's the point of keeping it all to yourself?
He'd see how he'd deal with this heartless girl this afternoon!
Time flew by. Su Rou let out a sigh. She would see Brother Ze again when she got home. What should she do?
"Rourou, what's wrong?" Hearing her friend's sigh, Xiao Yun casually put her arm around Su Rou's shoulder.
"Sis Rou, are you not feeling well?" Even Guo Yi came over and asked.
"Get lost, you jinx!" Yu Fei waved him away with a palm and rolled her eyes at him. What a poor - talking brat. He should be careful of his tongue rotting!
Guo Yi was pushed away and almost fell, but he quickly steadied himself and immediately came back. "I'll be quiet." To avoid being beaten half - to - death by those two tomboys, Guo Yi chose to cover his mouth, but his eyes still stared intently at Su Rou.
Su Rou shook her head. "I'm going home."
The remaining three looked at each other for a while. Guo Yi asked carefully, "Does Sis Rou have something on her mind?"
"Even you can tell?" Yu Fei nudged Guo Yi's shoulder. She didn't expect this little hooligan Guo Yi to be so observant.
Guo Yi immediately grinned proudly. But after a while, he still asked, "Is Sis Rou in love?"
In love? "Why do you say that?"
"People in love act like this." He had experienced heartbreak, although it was just unrequited love. Generally speaking, it was more or less the same as how Su Rou was acting.
