” brother su chen, i’m sorry. i was washing up and didn’t hear the phone call. ” Shi Yan stood on the balcony. From here, she could see the school’s Stadium and gymnasium.
perhaps it was because school hadn’t started yet, or perhaps it was very late, but the doors of the stadium and the gymnasium were locked. there was no one around, and only the street lights could be seen.
There were a few scattered figures on the road.
” it’s fine. i’m not calling you for anything urgent. i just wanted to ask if you’ve settled down at school. ”
“yes, i’ve settled down.”
“That’s good. Are you in the dormitory now?”
“yes.”
“yanyan, are you in a bad mood?” the other party asked after a moment of silence.
“No, I didn’t,”
He wasn’t in a bad mood, but he felt a little complicated.
the last time she had received a call from her mother was last year’s new year’s eve.
it seems like you’re really in a bad mood. Are you not having a good time with your roommates? ”
without waiting for shi yan to answer, he said,”i don’t think so. with your personality, i don’t think you’ll be affected by someone you just met.”
In fact, su chen knew very well that Shi Yan was not only unaffected by the people she had just met, but there were also very few people and things in the world that could affect her emotions.
“did your family contact you?” su chen asked.
“brother su chen, has anyone ever told you that you’re a little scary?” shi yan asked after a moment of silence.
This was over the phone, not in person, and she had always hidden her emotions very well. He could actually find out and even guess the reason. Shi Yan didn’t know what to say.
no one said that. Everyone says I’m a living God.
a miracle doctor who could save lives was no different from a living god.
“Who contacted you from your family?” Su chen asked after hesitating for a moment.
“My mom.”
“What did Yingluo say?”
In fact, su chen only knew a little about Shi Yan’s entanglement with her family. He was not completely clear about it.
“I was washing up just now, so I didn’t pick up the call.”
from the looks of it, he didn’t call back.
“you’re not planning to call back?”
shi yan’s pajamas were light, so it was a little cold when the late summer wind blew. the clouds in the sky covered the moon, and the moon and stars could not be seen. it was gray.
“i’m still hesitating,” she said.
After a moment of silence, su chen said,”what’s there to hesitate about?” If he wanted to call back, he would. If he didn’t want to, he would put his phone down and rest. You’re starting school tomorrow, so you should be starting your military training by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.”
“yanyan, it’s not in your character to be indecisive.”
“it’s not like me. it’s because my mom called. if it was someone else, i would have called back immediately. when i ran away from home that year, i felt sorry for my mother.”
shi yan’s tone did not fluctuate much even when she was talking about a heavy topic. if it were not for su chen, he would not have heard anything.
“Yanyan, do you miss your mother?”
“i haven’t seen you for nine years. of course i miss you,” shi yan smiled.
“then you’re the one who ran!”
“don’t ask me if i want to go home. who doesn’t want to go home?” shi yan interrupted him with a smile. i can’t go back now.”
at this moment, even su chen could not guess what she was thinking.
” yanyan, you haven’t been paying attention to the news in the capital all these years, so you don’t know that many things have actually changed. if you go back now, you won’t be as passive as you were nine years ago. ”
Brother Su chen, many people have said that I am very stubborn. I think they are right.
Su chen knew her answer without saying much.
she was not going back.
At least she wouldn’t be the one to lower her head first.
a person who had been indifferent since young and had an indifferent attitude towards everything, never particularly caring about anything, and was obedient and sensible, suddenly was forced to leave home when she was ten years old.
even if he was not clear about this dispute, su chen could guess that things were not simple.
“Alright, I’m just saying. I’m not familiar with your family and I only know you. I’ll definitely side with you. I’ll support whatever decision you make.”
thank you, Brother Su chen.
shi yan hung up the phone and looked at it for a while.
she had been waiting for a call since she came to haicheng because she knew that she could hide her whereabouts from the others but not the shi family.
her phone finally rang a month after she arrived in haicheng.
however, it was still just his mother.
su chen also said that she had not paid attention to the news in the capital for many years, so she did not know that many things had actually changed. if things had really changed, she would not have received a call from her mother alone.
Even for her mother, she had only called twice a year.
usually, he would only call her once on the night of chinese new year’s eve. this year was an exception, probably because she had come to haicheng.
Shi Yan gathered her thoughts and dialed the phone back, placing the phone by her ear.
it was picked up as soon as it rang.
“mom,” she said. she called out softly.
smoke, smoke, ” an elegant female voice sounded, and she seemed to be sobbing.
“yes, it’s me,” shi yan replied with her eyes slightly lowered.
“i was washing up just now, so i didn’t pick up your call.”
” it’s nothing, it’s nothing. i thought you were asleep and wanted to call you tomorrow. i, i’m very happy that you can call me back. ”
shi yan didn’t speak and remained silent.
the other party suppressed his sobs and said, ” “i heard that you got into haicheng university. yanyan, why don’t you get into capital university? If you don’t want to go home, don’t tell me you’re not even going back to the capital?”
my college entrance examination score can’t get me into capital University. Even Haicheng University is just above the admission score for my major. shi yan said calmly.
“Yanyan, I gave birth to you. How can I not know how capable you are? You just don’t want to go back to the capital, so you deliberately only got this little score, right?”
Shi Yan didn’t deny or admit it. She only said, ” mom, you know very well that it’s not that i don’t want to go back to the capital city. it’s that the capital city doesn’t allow me to go back. ”
“yanyan, come back. mommy will protect you. it won’t be like hanhan in the past.”
“mom,” she said.
shi yan interrupted her. ” i’m doing well in haicheng. you went to haicheng university back then. it’s not a bad thing for me to go to the same university you went to, right? ”
“Then … Then why didn’t you return to the SU family?”
” i can understand why you didn’t contact the su family when you weren’t in haicheng in the past. but yanyan, you’re in haicheng now. why didn’t you return to the su family? ”
“the shi family is the one who has let you down, not the su family.”
“Mom, you should know the reason,” Shi Yan sighed softly.
the other party was silent.
After a while, she sobbed again and said, ” “i know that you’re afraid that the shi family and the su family will make things difficult for the su family because of you. that’s why you even cut off contact with the su family.”
“but yanyan, the su family today is no longer the su family of the past, and the shi family today is no longer the shi family of the past. your big brother is going to be in power soon, and soon, no one will be able to make things difficult for qianqian.”
