Both ends of the phone suddenly fell into an eerie silence. Even Su Nan, who was far away in City XX, could vaguely feel the suffocating repress of emotions and gloom through the silence of the phone, making it hard to breathe.
She suddenly regretted telling her this news, but there were some things that she still needed to face.
"Xiaye... are you okay?"
From the other end came Su Nan's worried voice that conveyed how sorry she felt for her. "I'm sorry... Maybe I shouldn't have told you this, but if you wait till they appear in front of you all smiling, that'd be even more painful for you and you'll be sadder. I'd rather you find out about it now."
After staying silent for a while, Xiaye suddenly slowly closed the book in her hand and gently shut her eyes. Then, she opened them. A dim glow shone in her twinkling eyes indifferently and distantly. Her exceptionally calm voice came through. "Mmm, got it. Thank you, Su Nan."
Su Nan took a deep breath. Her voice had a hint of sympathy as she suffered silently with her. "Xiaye, are you okay? Don't be upset... That kind of person really isn't worth it..."
Xiaye lowered her head and stared at the tea cup between her fingers. She said with much difficulty and hoarseness in her tone, "I'm fine. Why don't you rest first? I'll pick you up in the evening."
Then, before Su Nan could respond, she abruptly hung up.
Three years, it had been three years!
Xiaye felt the temperature from her fingertips gradually fade away until at last, they turned cold amidst the cool breeze. A sneer suddenly appeared on her elegant and beautiful face as she mocked herself.
It turned out that a relationship, which she thought was steady after going through the ups and downs in the sea of time, would still fade in the end. It still turned cool just like this cup of tea. All of the warmth would slowly turn cold in the midst of this cool breeze.
Give yourself a chance to be free, Xi Xiaye. You aren't young anymore!
She sat there in silence for an unknown amount of time. It was so long that she felt like she had lived a whole decade to the next. Before she returned to her senses, she bitterly lifted her head and drank the cup of cold tea.
As the tea swirled into her mouth, the bitter and cold taste reached her chest very quickly. It was so cold that it made her feel rigid all over, and there was a sting in her chest.
What pulled her out from that suffocating whirlpool of despair was her grandfather's unexpected call.
"Xiaye, it's Grandfather. Where are you now? Have you left? It's cold outside. Remember to put on more clothes, and remember, don't be late!" Her grandfather's loving and concerned voice reminded, "It's the First Suite in the Bamboo Maple Forest Tavern. Don't go the wrong way!"
At that moment, Xiaye remembered what she had talked to her grandfather about, then she felt a headache starting.
Xiaye breathed in, slowly got up, and then put the book back onto the shelf as she answered softly, "Got it. I'm hanging about outside. I'll reach there on time. Don't worry, Grandfather."
"Mmm, make a trip home tonight. Your mother's coincidentally on a break. I'll get her to cook some delicious dishes for you! I heard that you've been working quite hard recently," sighed Shen Yue.
"I've to go and pick a friend up from the airport in the evening. At night, I'll also be welcoming her back. I'll go see you and Mother in a few more days. At the same time, I'll bring you some quality Pu'er ," Xiaye explained gently.
