Free Web NovelChapter 1041: Chapter 1041: This Time, I’ll Wait for Him (Part 1)
After dining with Xie Xiaoran, Su Weiyi hailed a cab back to her apartment.
During this time, she learned from Lu Yuewei about Sheng Yanxiao’s overdose on sleeping pills because of her, and from Si Nian, she heard about how Sheng Yanxiao had tormented himself to the point of utter devastation.
Su Weiyi felt an immense heartache, so much so that whenever she faced him, she experienced an overwhelming, indescribable sense of guilt.
But today, those two sentences from Xie Xiaoran stirred ripples in Su Weiyi’s heart.
Sheng Yanxiao did for her what she certainly would have done.
He didn’t trust Xie Xiaoran; he believed in her.
Su Weiyi’s eyes became moist again. Actually, those words didn’t pierce her heart as much as when she heard from Lu Yuewei and Si Nian, yet inexplicably, they numbed and swelled her heart, like densely packed needles pricking it, while these two sentences felt like a punch hitting the softest spot of her heart directly.
Su Weiyi couldn’t hold back her tears; they fell onto the back of her hand, scalding hot.
"Young lady, did you break up?"
The driver in the front seat glanced at her through the rearview mirror and asked gently. Su Weiyi wanted to speak, but her voice choked, unable to produce any sound in her throat.
The driver seemed to assume she did break up and comforted her: "Young lady, there are plenty of good men in this world. You’re so pretty; you surely won’t lack suitors. Don’t let these things get you down. Here, let me play a song for you."
With that, the driver turned on the car radio.
After a burst of static, music began to play.
"Finally made this decision, I don’t care what others say, so long as you’re just as certain..."
It was the once wildly popular "Courage".
"Love truly requires courage to face rumors and whispers, as long as you affirm with a glance, my love has meaning..."
When one is in the throes of emotional turmoil, even the smallest turbulence from outside can cause a tidal wave.
Su Weiyi’s tears fell even more fiercely, yes, it was she who lacked courage, she who gave up first.
She thought it was the best for them, yet what was the result?
She was not well, and her youth was worse off.
In that relationship, her greatest fear was her parents’ disappointment and sorrow, while perhaps his greatest fear was the lyrics, "most afraid you’ll suddenly say you’re giving up".
Su Weiyi clutched the back of the front seat with both hands, choking as she spoke: "Driver, I... I want to go somewhere else."
"Alright, young lady, where do you want to go?"
"I want to..."
Su Weiyi was at a loss; she didn’t even know where Sheng Yanxiao was staying. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
She only knew that like her, he did not live at home but at an apartment outside, yet she truly didn’t know where Sheng Yanxiao resided.
Su Weiyi trembled as she took out her phone and called him; she didn’t know if she’d recede afterwards, but at least now, she wanted to see him.
"Sorry, the number you are dialing is turned off..." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
The cold voice of a woman came through the phone. Su Weiyi promptly hung up and dialed Si Nian.
The phone rang several times before being answered. Su Weiyi didn’t know where Si Nian was; it was chaotic on the other end, but she didn’t care and directly asked: "Where is he?"
Si Nian’s voice took two seconds to come through: "Him? You mean Brother Xiao, right? There’s an urgent issue at the company, Brother Xiao went on a business trip, I just sent him to the airport, I’m on my way back to the city now, he should be boarding by now, Su Goddess, is there something wrong?"
On a business trip?
A bucket of cold water seemed to be poured over Su Weiyi, instantly cooling her down.
