Hearing Su Xue's question, No. 1 did not rush to answer but turned to look at his fiancee.
No. 5 shook his head slightly:
"I haven't said it yet."
This situation made Su Xue feel more uneasy in her heart, because it was almost certain that there was indeed a secret that she didn't know about, and looking at the reaction attitudes of the two people, it was obvious that this matter...
Some serious.
Maybe even very serious.
As if after a moment of contemplation, No. 1 also shook his head and said to his fiancée, "Look, if you think it's appropriate... It's okay if one more person knows."
Then he called on Chu Fangnan and the two of them went to the corner of the corridor to discuss something in a low voice, leaving the space for two women with almost the same looks and temperament.
Su Xue's gaze fell on No. 5 again:
"Jojo?"
Although she was already very restrained, Su Xue still couldn't hide the anxiety and urgency in her heart. She needed to know the truth too much, and if the truth...was closely related to someone and the girl on the other side of the ocean.
No. 5 sighed softly:
"This matter... a long story."
Then she also looked directly at Su Xue: "You know, why did Baozi go to England? Why did he go to Manchester?"
Su Xue was slightly stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously opened her mouth and replied, "Didn't you say you transferred to another school to study, so you left without even taking the college entrance examination..."
But before she could finish speaking, she paused.
because.
If that's all there is to it, the question of Number Five doesn't make any sense at all.
so…
"Isn't it going to study?" Su Xue made another guess in a daze, a guess that may have been because of her inertia of thinking or because she had subconsciously believed in the girl, and had never considered overturning the original concept.
But if it's not to study, what else can you do
I don't know if I guessed the confusion in Su Xue's heart. No. 5 did not choose to answer the former's question directly, but turned the topic lightly:
"Baozi's previous grades have always been very good."
Su Xue nodded subconsciously, and No. 5's voice continued to ring in her ears:
"If you are going to study in Europe, you don't have to worry about it and you must avoid the college entrance examination, right?"
"Even if I go..."
"With the UK as a destination, there should be a lot of better choices. Manchester is not a city known for its educational atmosphere."
For a while, Su Xue was a little confused by the sudden change of the topic, but she didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, the next moment, No. 5 continued to speak calmly and leisurely:
"However, Manchester is at the top of the UK and even Europe in certain medical technologies."
"There... some very top-notch specialized medical research centers."
"There are also top-level hospitals specially set up."
If the previous evaluation of education in the UK and even Manchester left Su Xue confused, then the sudden turn of the following sentences made her suddenly realize something.
It was like a ray of light pierced through my mind.
Or rather...
It was a chill that suddenly rose from behind the moment a certain thought flashed through her mind.
So the next moment, Su Xue suddenly raised her head with an unbelievable look, and stared at No. 5, who seemed to be calmly speaking in front of her.
The latter's expression remained indifferent and met the former's gaze, but with a hint of mourning in the depths of his pupils, he spoke softly:
"Bun she..."
"I'm sick."
…
Many times you will find that how easily a person can be influenced by external news, and make his mood change drastically in a very short period of time.
Even just a moment ago, you were still relieved that the expedited visa process was completed, and you were overjoyed to meet two of the most legendary couples in the e-sports circle by chance in the hallway.
But the next moment...
When a message is told by the very few people who know it.
When such terrible news of the truth that never flashed in your mind at all, suddenly and directly hit the unsuspecting you.
this moment.
It was as if the sky suddenly collapsed in front of you, and the whole world was suddenly darkened for a moment.
All joy, all feeling of relief, was completely shattered and vanished without a trace at this moment, cruelly and coldly.
After listening to the truth from the No. 5 mouth in front of her in a calm but sad tone, Su Xue staggered back two steps uncontrollably, only to feel a little dizzy in her head, subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover her heart, and tried her best. Trying to digest this information and still buzzing in my head is unbelievably unacceptable:
"Bun, she... is ill?"
"How, how is it possible?"
He murmured almost subconsciously.
However, No. 5 nodded lightly, confirming it again cruelly and realistically softly: "It's true."
Su Xue couldn't help closing her eyes tightly, her eyelashes quivering violently.
I tried hard to control my emotions, but my mood couldn't help but tremble in the air along with the voice of speaking: "When did it happen?"
No. 5 was silent for a while, then said, "A year ago."
"a year ago!?"
Su Xue suddenly opened her eyes again, her face full of disbelief: "But Baozi just transferred to Shanghai a year ago-"
yes.
That was the reunion between someone and that girl after many years. Everything seemed to be the most new and full of vigor and hope. How could it be a year ago...
But the next moment, No. 5 shook his head again and asked back:
"I studied well in the original high school in Hangcheng. What do you think... an ordinary girl, what reason should she use to make her family accept her sudden transfer? "
"And... just to transfer to the same high school where Xiao Feng is."
Su Xue's half words were directly choked by No. 5's rhetorical question. She opened her mouth subconsciously, and then a certain guess flashed in her mind again, and the vibrating light in her eyes flashed away:
"You mean..."
No. 5 smiled silently, but there was a bit of pity and helplessness for a girl on the other side of the ocean in the smile:
"Normal reasons are certainly not acceptable to the family."
"so… "
"It can only be some abnormal reasons that the family can't refuse."
Su Xue's lips trembled a little, just like her heart was trembling uncontrollably at this moment, because she also remembered some "minor illness" that the girl seemed to have just happened unexpectedly more than half a year ago, but now Connecting to reality, everything seemed to have a more reasonable and cruel explanation, making her speak again with an undisguised vibrato:
"Bun, what kind of disease is she...?"
No. 5 pursed his lips, paused for a long time again, and then slowly shook his head:
"The specific situation... I don't know yet."
"This time in the UK, I originally wanted to see her, but..."
The words are not finished.
But Su Xue has been able to understand the meaning of the second half of the words effortlessly, because no one would have thought that such a sudden and unexpected situation would happen, and it would also make everyone who knows the truth... All for that ocean. The girl on the other side gave birth to an unstoppable intense anxiety and worry.
"All this... Doesn't Xiao Feng know?" Su Xue murmured in a daze, even now, she herself still can't believe and accept such a reality.
Number five shook his head.
Then she looked at Su Xue again:
"These things, don't let Xiaofeng know for the time being."
