The darker the autumn colors, the earlier the sky falls.
When the lights came on, and the light bands illuminated the dark scene, Cullinan drove into Beicheng University in a high-profile way, and stopped near the No. 5 female dormitory building.
Su Jia hugged a bouquet of creamy sunflowers, and sat in the back seat in a daze, unaware that the car was turned off.
With the lights in the car turned on, Ji Xuanyi waited for a while, looked at her sideways, and smiled thinly: "Would you like to stay with me longer?"
Su Jia came back to her senses, looked through the car window, opened the door and got out of the car in a hurry.
She walked out two steps, Ji Xuanyi shouted: "Jiajia."
Su Jia stopped and turned her head, seeing him move to the car window, smiling unrestrainedly.
She thought he would say something urgent, holding flowers, waiting obediently.
Ji Xuanyi opened his mouth, but said, "You are so ashamed that you won't even say goodbye to me."
Su Jia was indeed so ashamed that her head was dizzy, and she couldn't get over it too late. Was he like this? She said it bluntly and teasingly, her cheeks were on fire, and her emotions amplified endlessly.
She mumbled a perfunctory "goodbye" and ran to the dormitory floor.
During the National Day holiday, there was no second person in the dormitory.
Su Jia casually put the bouquet on the desk? Sitting in the empty room, her mind was overwhelmed and confused.
In the afternoon in the house of the Bijian Art Museum, Ji Xuanyi asked "Is it interesting to me", as if it was put into a repeater, endlessly looping in her ears.
Su Jia clearly remembered herself at that time, and what she received was like a loud bang.
Language function? Lost in an instant, unable to squeeze out babbling.
He just looked back blankly and tremblingly like a microscope, looking at the essence through the phenomenon.
Fortunately, Ji Xuanyi seemed to be just asking her for fun, but he couldn't get any better. He didn't get a response for a long time, so he retreated consciously, and asked her casually what he wanted to eat at night.
In those few tens of seconds, Su Jia's life was even more miserable than Senior Three, with many difficulties.
The heart that is not negotiable and speeds up indiscriminately is dishonest until now.
Every time she thinks about that time, every time she thinks of Ji Xuanyi's handsome face approaching her eyes, it can't stop, pounding wildly.
She was busy and tired in high school. Even if there were bold boys who pursued her, she rejected them all on the grounds of "I'm not interested in puppy love, please don't disturb my study". She never faced this kind of love directly. ?question.
Again, there has never been such a violent heartbeat.
Su Jia couldn't help touching the left earlobe, and Ji Xuanyi's cool fingertips covered the body temperature, as if it still existed.
It suddenly occurred to her that she had already had many physical contacts with him, even involving hugging.
I don't know since when, she no longer has a strong stress response to being close to him.
Her body accepted him faster and more naturally than her mind.
The more Su Jia thought about it, the more he couldn't calm down. He took a few deep breaths, shook his head, and cleared his mind.
She got up to arrange the sunflowers and put them in the vase.
After washing up, Su Jia lay down on the bed and swiped her phone, remembering that Ji Xuanyi's number was not stored yet.
Putting his number into contacts, Su Jia glanced at the neighbor, a series of numbers from his hometown that called in the morning.
Her comfortable mood became a little heavier, and she seriously recalled Su Jianchuan's last words on the phone.
He said to tell her to wait, and he would come to Beicheng to catch her.
Su Jia frowned and thought about it. Su Jianchuan's words were most likely drunken crazy words.
The conditions of their family, Su Jiamener? Qing.
The biological father and the biological mother are all low-level workers who move bricks on the construction site. They haven't even been out of the province for so many years. The possibility of coming to Beicheng thousands of miles away to find her is extremely low.
Thinking of this, Su Jiaxuan's heart sank.
As soon as the National Day is over, freshmen enter the normal class track, a week is fleeting, and it will be the end of October in a flash.
Su Jia is either in school or working part-time, and her life is rich and fulfilling.
It's just that occasionally when she gets tired of studying, she looks up into the distance, facing the drifting clouds outside the window, and feels that something is missing in the near future.
When she returned to the dormitory, she saw the empty vase on the desk because the flower branches were withered, and realized that she hadn't seen Ji Xuanyi for a while.
Su Jia took out WeChat on her mobile phone and found the chat box of the two of them. It had been more than half a month since the last chat.
She hung her fingertips above the input bar, hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to exit.
In the morning of the next day, the four-person team in 203 finished their professional classes and went to the cafeteria for dinner.
Su Jia walked on the edge, silently reviewing the important and difficult points the professor said in his mind, and consolidated them in time.
Suddenly, the phone in her hand vibrated, and she lifted it up to see that the note was a simple word "Ji".
Su Jia froze for a moment. This was the first time Ji Xuanyi contacted her after the National Day.
She picked it up, her voice as calm as possible: "Hello."
Ji Xuanyi didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic: "Are you free on Saturday afternoon?"
"Yes." Su Jia's part-time job this week is scheduled for Sunday.
Ji Xuanyi asked: "Riding a horse, shall we go?"
Su Jia was stunned, and asked in a low voice, "Is it the equestrian club from last time?"
Ji Xuanyi: "Yes."
Su Jia thought for a while: "Okay, I think? Bai Ze."
The beauty of that white horse is worth rushing no matter how far away it is.
Ji Xuanyi complained and said "huh": "I want a horse, but I don't even want it."
Su Jia choked, "Well, that's your horse too."
Ji Xuanyi's tone turned around, with a hint of ridicule: "So rounding up to five means thinking about me?"
Su Jia couldn't continue the conversation at all. Why? Why did he have such a natural ability to speak freely and speak freely
No? Ji Xuanyi didn't care when he got the answer, and said to himself: "If the company's business has always been a lot, and I fly outside all day, and I don't have time to look for you, will you not look for me?"
Recently, he has been watching the listing of new projects in the company, and finally got some free time, remembering the little girl in the university.
Ji Xuanyi looked at the wechat chat records of the two of them for a while, and they didn't look for him once.
It seems that he is just an insignificant little character, whether he is present or not, it will not have any impact on her.
Ji Xuanyi has always responded to everyone in the company, and he is even more comfortable in the entertainment field. He is used to being needed, affirmed, and supported by others. He is very unhappy about this.
Su Jia was stunned by the question. She had the urge to send him a wechat message yesterday, but it was dispelled because of various concerns.
"You're busy, and I'm still calling you, isn't it bothering you?" She said vaguely.
"It's relaxation." Ji Xuanyi smiled slightly, "No matter how urgent the work is, it requires a combination of work and rest. I don't want to die from overwork."
Su Jia pursed her lips: "Why are you cursing yourself?"
Ji Xuanyi is not shy about ghosts, what are the curses? He doesn't care at all? He sighed intently: "Unfortunately, in the past half a month, I only have 'Lao' left."
Su Jia couldn't take it anymore, especially when there were three roommates beside her.
She interrupted quickly: "I'm going to eat, so I won't talk about it."
After hesitating for half a second, she added, "See you on Saturday."
Only then did Ji Xuanyi smile, and he was willing to end the call: "Eat more? See you on Saturday."
Su Jia hung up the phone, the smile unconsciously curled up on her lips had just reached its peak, and she noticed that the three people around her were all looking over.
Yao Linxia raised his eyebrows and asked, "Ji Xuanyi asked you out?"
Su Jia fiddled with her bangs embarrassedly: "Yes."
Mingli and Shu Xinjing immediately surrounded her and asked things, "Wow, are you dating?"
"Jiajia, where have you progressed?"
"Are you guys together?"
"I want to eat wedding candy!"
"No? Have you? Yes." Su Jia waved her hand in denial, "It's just that I've gotten to know a lot."
Yao Linxia shook his head and laughed, Mingli and Shu Xinjing clicked their tongues twice.
A few people were laughing and joking, and Su Jia caught a glimpse of a familiar face behind him.
She turned her head away, Yue Wanwan and her roommate were arm in arm, walking behind them for an unknown how long.
Seeing Su Jia's suspicious gaze, Yue Wanwan obviously dodged for a moment.
But then, she squinted at her arrogantly, and dragged her roommate to go around in front of them.
They lived next door, so they couldn't avoid seeing each other. Every time they saw each other, Yue Wanwan was like this, and she would not wait to see nakedness on her face? Su Jia was not surprised.
Half a semester into college, Su Jia learned through Yao Linxia that Yue Wanwan was studying dancing, and that she was following her sister Yue Qiaoqiao.
It is rumored that she adores a professional dancer and has hundreds of thousands of fans. Her sister, who has appeared in several variety shows, often praises her with her classmates.
It can be said to be a standard sister-in-law.
In her eyes, no one is better than her sister.
That's why she is hostile towards girls like Su Jia who are close to her sister's ex-boyfriend.
Su Jia has seen a lot of cold eyes from her biological parents, and she can turn a blind eye to anyone's cold eyes. As long as the other party doesn't dance in front of her and harm her interests, she doesn't care about it.
She thought about it for a while, even if Yue Wanwan was behind them the whole time and listened to all their conversations, it didn't matter.
She talked with Ji Xuanyi on the phone, and joked with her roommates, but there was nothing wrong with it.
Su Jia ignored it, but Yao Linxia scolded Yue Wanwan as "sick".
The calendar quickly turned to Friday, and another layer of withered yellow leaves fell.
Su Jia went back to her bedroom after dinner, only thinking about one thing: what to wear tomorrow.
She rummaged through the closet and found a set of autumn and winter dresses in the closet.
Unless necessary, Su Jia does not wear skirts every day, especially in summer, which is one of the few she has.
Su Jia was struggling when a WeChat message came in from her phone.
It's Li Shuo: [Are there any plans for tomorrow?]
Su Jia didn't know if he was busy, so he replied honestly: [Morning? No? No.]
She thought about it for a while, and added a few sentences: [Should go to the library to borrow books.]
[What's wrong?]
Li Shuo: [No problem.]
After that, there is no more text.
Su Jia didn't pay much attention to it, she just focused on choosing clothes.
Yao Linxia came over and put a curling iron on her desk.
Su Jia looked at her strangely.
"I'll play all night tonight, tomorrow morning? I can't get up, so I have to use it myself." Yao Linxia explained.
Mingli on one side raised her hand and threw out a unique skill: "I'll make up for you."
Shu Xinjing also said: "I can make big waves."
Su Jia: "..."
She figured it out, they all wanted to contribute to her makeup tomorrow.
"No need." Su Jia said shyly, "Have you seen it before? Why are you so grand?"
Yao Linxia asked back: "Then you choose the clothes for half a day?"
Mingli said: "You didn't choose clothes in advance before, so you can wear whatever you get."
Shu Xinjing: "Jiajia, you are blushing."
Su Jia bit her lip: "Don't expose me!"
All four laughed out loud.
Having said that, Su Jia woke up the next morning and started to work.
Considering that she will go to the library later in the morning and will not return to the dormitory halfway, she changed into a small skirt in advance, used Yao Linxia's curling iron, and put on light makeup for herself.
In order to apply for a part-time job at the front desk during her summer vacation, she deliberately learned basic makeup techniques.
Before leaving the dormitory, Su Jia remembered the conversation at the Li family's dinner table last time, took out the perfume "Jiajing" from the drawer, and dabbed it on her wrist and behind her ears.
After finishing everything, Su Jia happily walked out of the dormitory.
I don't want to see Li Shuo standing under the tree and wearing a sportswear.
"Morning." Li Shuo ran up to her as soon as he saw her, quickly scanned her attire, his eyes brightened for a moment, then darkened again.
He grinned brightly and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet? Together."
Su Jia was a little confused: "Are you here to wait for me?"
"I have a basketball game this morning. You said that I will go to see it." Li Shuo joked, "Isn't it because I'm afraid that you will let me go, so I came to pick it up?"
Su Jia had promised him, and had promised twice.
"Is it so sudden?" Su Jia asked.
Li Shuo: "I made an impromptu appointment last night. It was too late. Did I tell you that it's 9:30 am today, are you free?"
Su Jia: "Yes, yes."
Li Shuo answered quickly, fearing that she would regret it: "That's good."
Su Jia thought to himself, that's fine, and agreed without delaying the afternoon.
Li Shuo went to have breakfast with her first, borrowed books from the library, and then took her to the indoor basketball court.
He is the captain. As soon as he arrived, a group of tall boys in ball uniforms surrounded him.
Some of them were met by Su Jia at the hotpot restaurant, and they greeted them with a smile.
The boys were all enthusiastic, scrambling to introduce themselves, telling her to sit casually and not to be unreasonable.
Su Jia was arranged by Li Shuo in the middle of the first row, the best viewing area, and several boxes of mineral water were piled up not far away, which should be for the players to drink.
When Li Shuo went to change his clothes and shoes, the team members came closer and chattered: "I just said why brother Li? Why did you suddenly make an appointment for a ball game? The reason is to pick up girls."
"Little sister is so beautiful, brother Li has such good eyesight."
Li Shuo shook them off and ordered: "Sew your mouth shut?"
They laughed a few times, making sure they wouldn't talk too much outside.
Su Jia doesn't know much about basketball games, but it doesn't stop her from admiring the boys running all over the court, sweating and full of hormones.
Li Shuo's team had a ferocious offensive, and his strength as the main force was outstanding, and he led the team far ahead at the beginning of the game.
In addition, he has a typical sunny appearance, and he is particularly easy to eat on campus, attracting a large group of fans, most of whom are shouting his name.
Su Jia sat in the middle of the noise, her emotions were contagious, and she naturally cheered for her acquaintances.
During the intermission, Li Shuo refused some girls who brought water, and trotted in front of Su Jia under the attention of the audience.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked, "Is there any water?"
"Yes." Su Jia gave him a bottle of mineral water placed next to it.
Li Shuo stretched out her hand to pick it up. Halfway through she said, "You're a great player," she suddenly saw a man who didn't fit in on the court.
He is wearing a suit and leather shoes, and his hair is combed back in threes and sevens. He is meticulously groomed, and he looks like he is from a formal occasion.
His eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were sharp, like a flame, like a gust of wind, passing over a thousand people, and falling on Su Jia impartially.
Su Jia's heart tightened. It turned out to be Ji Xuanyi whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
