The dinner ended in relative harmony. Su Ziqi kept his head down throughout. Apart from chatting with Su Rou briefly at the beginning, he hardly said a word later, which made Su Yue quite puzzled. It was rare for his son to be so obedient today.
Su Yuze took Su Rou home. As soon as Su Rou got home, she received a call from Xiao Yun. "Yunyun?"
"Rourou, you need to go to school tomorrow. Don't forget." Xiao Yun reminded her on the other end of the phone.
"What do we need to go to school for tomorrow?" Su Rou was confused. There were only a few days left. Why did they still need to go to school? Was it for the final major mock exam?
Xiao Yun sighed on the other end of the phone. "Don't tell me you've forgotten that we're going to school to pick up our admission tickets tomorrow!" It seemed that studying at home every day had made her silly!
Su Rou thought for a while. It seemed that there was such a thing. So she nodded. "Okay, I know." After a pause, she asked again, "Do we need to arrive on time?"
Xiao Yun burst out laughing. "You lazybones!" Well, given her speed, she was never on time for class. How could she be on time just to pick up an admission ticket? "You just need to remember to go."
"Okay, thank you."
"Don't be so polite. Bye!"
Su Yuze looked at her. "Was it your two friends?"
"Yeah. Yunyun said I need to go to school to pick up my admission ticket tomorrow." Su Rou explained.
"I'll take you there tomorrow."
...
Since Xiao Yun said there was no need to arrive on time, Su Rou slept until she woke up naturally. After breakfast, she was driven to school by Su Yuze.
The teacher had almost distributed all the admission tickets. By the time Su Rou arrived, only hers and two boys' were left. The homeroom teacher put the admission ticket in Su Rou's hand. "Su Rou, all the teachers have high hopes for you. Don't let us down in the college entrance examination!" You know, the school's enrollment rate depends on these top students!
Su Rou took the admission ticket and gave a smile. "I will, teacher!"
Then the homeroom teacher gave some more instructions before letting Su Rou go. As soon as she stepped out of the classroom, Xiao Yun and Yu Fei popped out from somewhere. "Rourou, we've finally waited for you."
"What were you waiting for me for?" She thought they had left first.
"There are only two weeks left until the exam. Are you nervous?"
"Not really."
"I'm a bit nervous for the first time..." Yu Fei held the admission ticket nervously.
Her expression made Su Rou laugh. The three of them walked out of the school gate chatting and laughing. Suddenly, a figure jumped out in front of them. All three of them stopped at the same time. It was Jiang Ling. He was wearing a white suit today, and there was a faint blush on his gentle and handsome face.
Jiang Ling took out a bunch of roses from behind him. "Xiaorou, I like you. This is for you."
Su Rou pointed at herself. "Me?"
"Yeah." Jiang Ling sincerely held the roses in front of Su Rou. "I haven't seen you for the past few months. I've always wanted to find a chance to confess my feelings to you." It was almost graduation. He hoped to win her heart before they both went abroad, so that they could gradually develop their relationship overseas.
"However, you confessed your feelings to me last time." Su Rou said. She had a good memory. It was Jiang Ling who had forgotten, right? He had told her that he liked her at the beginning of the semester.
But Jiang Ling shook his head. "No, that doesn't count." He didn't prepare anything last time. How could that be considered a confession?
Seeing this, Xiao Yun and Yu Fei quietly took a few steps back. The protagonists were Su Rou and Jiang Ling. They didn't need to be the third wheels.
Su Rou looked at the roses and then slowly shook her head. "Sorry, I also said last time that I..."
"I know you have someone you like, so I don't need you to give me an answer now. I can wait for you." Jiang Ling interrupted her anxiously. "After the college entrance examination and before going abroad, I hope you can think it over and accept me."
Su Rou looked at Jiang Ling with a bit of embarrassment. Jiang Ling was a nice guy and had treated her well. She had already rejected him, but he was still so persistent, which bothered her a lot! After all, in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed as if she had a heart of stone!
"I..." Su Rou thought for a while and felt that she should find a better way to phrase it.
But Jiang Ling seemed to know what she was going to say. Suddenly, he stuffed the roses in his hand into hers. "Xiaorou, trust me. I will be the right man for you." He looked into Su Rou's big eyes. "I don't need you to answer now. We should focus on the college entrance examination now."
This made sense. "Yeah."
"So, I'll wait for your answer after the college entrance examination!" With that, Jiang Ling squeezed Su Rou's little hand and then turned around and left.
Su Rou stared at the roses in her hand. She should be glad that there weren't many people at the school gate at this time. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing if others saw it!
Xiao Yun stepped forward and put her arm around Su Rou's left shoulder. "Rourou, do you want to consider Class Monitor Jiang Ling?"
Yu Fei also came over and put her arm around Su Rou's right shoulder. "Actually, Jiang Ling is not bad."
Su Rou sighed softly and put the roses in Xiao Yun's hand. "I still don't really want to be in a relationship for the time being." She was still in unrequited love!
Xiao Yun and Yu Fei looked at Su Rou's back worriedly. For the first time, they felt that Su Rou, who seemed to have everything, also had her own difficulties! "Rourou, you yourself said that your relationship is impossible. Then why don't you try to accept Jiang Ling?"
"For what? To forget Brother Ze with Jiang Ling?" Su Rou asked.
"Yeah, in a way, that's it!" Yu Fei stepped forward and took Su Rou's wrist. "Look, you're heartbroken because of your brother. Isn't Jiang Ling just the one to save you? In my opinion, you two can start dating first. If it doesn't work out, you can break up. What if you develop feelings for Jiang Ling while dating? Wouldn't that be even better!"
Xiao Yun clenched her right fist and hit her left palm. Her eyes suddenly lit up. "Yeah, it's a good idea!"
... Su Rou thought for a while. Would it work?
"Rourou, we feel sad seeing you like this, so we both hope you can have a good ending... Your brother is out of the question, but there are other people." Yu Fei said softly. A top-notch man like Big Brother Su was really rare, but Rourou's downfall was the blood relationship!
Su Rou helplessly twitched the corner of her mouth. Maybe they were right, but... "I'll think about it. However, for the time being, the college entrance examination is the most important thing. Let's talk about everything after the college entrance examination!"
Xiao Yun also laughed. "Then what about your flowers..."
"I don't want the flowers." Su Rou considered herself not a gentle girl. It would be better to throw the flowers away than give them to her! "Roses are quite expensive. You can sell them!"
Xiao Yun raised her eyebrows. Good idea!
