The car drove all the way to the Mousse Apartment, and Shu Nian unbuckled his seat belt, "I'll get off first."
"Wait." Ye Yan called her.
Shu Nian turned around.
"How is the exam notification result?"
Shu Nian's heart ached, but he still nodded, "I'm accepted."
"Which school?"
Shu Nian hesitated for a moment before saying, "... the school that Dr. Fu attended."
Ye Yan looked at her deeply, and that look made Shu Nian feel uncertain, wondering if he had sensed something. But in the end, Ye Yan just said, "Well, go up."
Shu Nian said "hmm", opened the car door and went down. When she reached the top of the stairs, she subconsciously looked down and paused.
Ye Yan was still downstairs at this moment, and did not leave immediately. He was sitting in the car with his head raised, in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Shu Nian pursed his lips and stood on the corridor waiting for a while. Only then did Ye Yan slowly drive the car and leave the community.
"Why are you standing here?" Aunt Gui came out of the house to borrow something from the next door, and saw Shu Nian standing in a daze on the corridor. Shu Nian turned around, regained his composure, and walked into the house holding Aunt Gui's hand.
Aunt Gui looked at her and asked, "You're still not in good spirits. How much did you drink last night?"
"Just a little."
"It doesn't look like that at all!" Aunt Gui scolded softly, her words full of pity.
Shu Nian smiled and stopped talking.
In the evening, Aunt Gui cooked a lot of delicious food. Shu Nian helped in the kitchen. She peeked out from the kitchen several times and saw her father Shu Dafu sitting in the living room watching TV. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that he was not in a very good mood tonight. Shu Nian quietly asked Aunt Gui what was going on, and Aunt Gui shook her head and whispered that she didn't know, and she had been like this for two or three days.
Shu Nian thought of someone, and his expression darkened. Could it be that Ming Wanjun came to visit? Speaking of which, she hadn't shown up in the past few days...
Shu Nian felt a slight pain in his heart.
Oh, she should have given up, right? Yes, how much trouble should she put on a daughter who could be abandoned at the beginning
—
The meal started at 6:30, and there was a table full of delicious food. Shu Nian fed his father, but Shu Dafu didn't eat much, and was obviously unhappy. Shu Nian was a little cautious, not knowing whether he should ask. Aunt Gui asked, "Did the admission letter arrive?"
Shu Nian said 'hmm' and sighed, "But I didn't perform well, so I was admitted to the school in Country M."
"It's a good thing to be admitted. I asked Xiao Wang next door, and that school in Country M is also an internationally renowned school. It's not easy to be admitted." Aunt Gui looked pleased.
Shu Nian glanced at Shu Dafu and said, "Aunt Gui, I want to take my dad with me."
"How can that be possible? Your father is in no condition to board a plane. Besides, he would have to suffer from jet lag if he went there. Can your father handle it?"
Shu Nian was silent.
Every word Aunt Gui said makes sense.
"You, just study hard. I'm here with you, so why worry about anything? When your dad gets better, I'll take him with me. We won't have to be apart for several years. Is that okay?"
This is indeed feasible, and it is the only feasible way. That school has very generous scholarships every year. Those with excellent grades and performance can apply for fee reductions. If she applies for it, plus occasionally doing some part-time jobs, her life will not be so tight. When Shu Nian and Xiang Muyang divorced, she received a generous sum of money, but that money was only on paper and has not been implemented yet. Moreover, even if it was really implemented, she would not spend a penny of his money.
Just as she was daydreaming, Shu Dafu suddenly spoke, his words were not very clear, just a few "ah" sounds, and his hands were waving in the air. Shu Nian understood immediately.
Aunt Gui said, "Your father asked you how you were going to explain to Mu Yang when you went to study."
Shu Nian was silent for a moment. He had to talk about his divorce with Xiang Muyang sooner or later, so it would be better to do it now...
I made up my mind and was about to speak about it when I heard Shu Dafu continue to say vaguely: "I heard that Mu Yang is going to remarry."
"What?" Aunt Gui was surprised and repeated, "Remarriage?"
Shu Nian now understood why her father had been in such a bad mood. It turned out that he had known about it for a long time. But she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was not as excited as she had imagined.
"The other party's belly is already big and she is pregnant with a baby in a few months. It's time to get married." Shu Nian replied calmly.
Obviously, Shu Dafu didn't know that Xiang Muyang's fiancée was pregnant. He bulged his eyes and stared at Shu Nian, as if blaming her for telling him about it now. Aunt Gui's reaction was also very intense, "The child is only a few months old? When did you two get divorced?"
“… not long.”
"That means he got this woman pregnant before he divorced you?"
Shu Nian said nothing.
Aunt Gui shook her head, quite annoyed, and felt sorry for Shu Nian, "Men nowadays are too irresponsible! I used to think he was so good to you, but now it seems that it was all an illusion."
Shu Nian pursed his lips and said, "It's all over."
Shu Dafu did not blame her for her divorce, but he definitely did not have any good impression of Xiang Muyang anymore.
"If you leave like this, what about him?" Shudafu asked again, still speaking incoherently.
"he?"
Aunt Gui helped Shu Dafu explain: "Your father is asking about Ye Yan's child. You are divorced now, so you two must be together, right?"
When mentioning him, Shu Nian's eyes became more serious.
She slowed down her movements while picking up the food, and after a while, she spoke quietly, "He will understand, too. Going to school is not a bad thing."
"I understand, but when it comes to relationships, distance is the only thing they fear. Forget about love, even if it's family, if you and your cousin haven't seen each other for several years, your relationship won't be very good. It's unstable."
Shu Nian knew it very well!
Five years
Five years is really not a short time. Five years later, she and Ye Yan will both be 28 years old. When she comes back, everything will probably be different. Can she say that she will still have a place in Ye Yan's heart? Maybe Ye Yan will be a father by then...
Thinking of this, Shu Nian felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't eat a single bite of rice. He just put the bowl down and said softly, "I'm done. I'll wash the dishes later."
He stood up and walked aside.
Aunt Gui looked at the figure, sighed, and felt a little distressed.
Shu Nian walked into the kitchen, her eyes slightly red. What to do? Before she left, the reluctance in her heart had already stretched longer and longer like a vine, becoming tighter and tighter. She didn't know if she would really have the courage to leave after more than 20 days...
