Thinking back and forth, it was all that old man’s fault! Su Xiaong was filled with resentnt as she stepped into the elevator.
Yin Shixiu had just reached Yin ng on the phone and was about to ask if Su Xiaong had returned to school when he caught sight of Su Xiaong entering the elevator across from him!
He hung up the phone imdiately and chased after her, "Su Xiaong!"
After the elevator doors closed, Su Xiaong blinked. She seed to have heard... that bastard old man’s voice! She shivered, feeling as if Yin Shixiu was haunting her!
Although her intuition told her that it was just an auditory illusion and it was impossible for Yin Shixiu to be here, after exiting the elevator, Su Xiaong quickened her pace and took a taxi away from the hospital.
It wasn’t until the taxi had driven a certain distance that she realized how foolish her actions were! To be so afraid of him...
Yin Shixiu watched her leave, standing at the hospital entrance feeling sowhat lost.
Days passed without Yin Shixiu making an appearance.
Besides feeling much weaker than before and carrying a little baby in her belly that no one knew about, Su Xiaong basically returned to campus life.
First, she caught up on the missed classes, and then she started preparing for the Christmas Eve event.
After returning from Yin Shixiu’s place, Su Xiaong did not hide from Yin ng the fact that Luo Feiya bullied her. Instead, she exaggerated vividly!
She even blad Luo Feiya for not being able to have an abortion sooner.
Her story left Yin ng extrely angry, and when she ntioned it to Yin Shixiu privately, there was a hint of bla.
This was precisely the effect Su Xiaong wanted. After being bullied so harshly, ng ng would certainly not have the heart to throw her back to the wolves.
Ti swiftly moved to Christmas Eve. Su Xiaong was happy her cold finally got better, but what troubled her was that the cold lasted so long, that she would now have to undergo an induced abortion to remove the baby...
"It doesn’t matter if I wait a day or two more; I’ll get it done after Christmas Eve, after the event is over."
Yin ng looked at Su Xiaong, who had obviously gained weight, frowning slightly with an ominous feeling.
"I have everything under control; I’ve talked to the doctor."
"This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later. You were sick before, but now..."
Su Xiaong shook her head, "I promised Ren Yixuan that I would help him win the Business School’s dance trophy."
The invitation was still safely in her drawer. Even if they couldn’t beco lovers, she wanted to use this opportunity to properly apologize to Ren Yixuan...
Yin ng looked at Su Xiaong silently, saying nothing.
Su Xiaong felt that things had already been bad enough. Her relationship with Ren Yixuan had hit rock bottom, and the child had almost reached three months... Things should go smoothly now, right?
However, she could never have imagined that the true nightmare was just beginning...
Although Christmas was not a traditional Chinese holiday, with Santa Claus’s white fairy tale, the festive atmosphere was no less lively than the Spring Festival.
At the entrance of A University’s theater, two nearly two-ter-tall Christmas trees lit up Christmas Eve.
Su Xiaong was still directing the audience’s final rehearsal before entering.
"Hey, hey, hey! Little Monkey, are you dozing off?"
"President, I’m not!" A tall, skinny boy standing in the back quickly defended himself when Su Xiaong called him out!
"Didn’t you want to find a girlfriend? Show your best tonight, and afterwards, so girl will confess to you!"
"... But President, you’re not even putting in the front row..."
The tall boy muttered quietly, causing everyone to laugh.
"Do well tonight, and next ti you’ll be in the front row!" Su Xiaong raised her eyebrows and said!
"You said it!"
"Of course!"
With Su Xiaong’s promise, the big boy was instantly full of energy, ready to sing and dance without any hesitation.
"Senior, even if you missed the previous rehearsals, you could still go on stage today." After finishing the last rehearsal round, a short-haired junior ca up, looking aggrieved.
"No, next ti."
"But..."
"There’s always next year for !" Su Xiaong took a deep breath, "Today is all about you guys!"
"...Oh."
"Get so energy up. I’ll be watching from below, and if you miss a beat again, just watch how I’ll deal with you!"
The junior grinned sheepishly and said, "Got it!"
From 7:30 onwards, the audience began entering. Thanks to the school’s publicity and the OMG Club’s reputation, quite a few people ca to watch the performance. But there were just too many, weren’t there!
The small theater, with a capacity for over a thousand people, was packed!
"ng ng... aren’t there too many people?"
Su Xiaong muttered to Yin ng at the side of the stage.
"Mm, seems more than when Senior hosted it last year..."
Though Yin ng agreed with Su Xiaong, she knew the reason behind it. The school’s publicity was true, but having so many advisors show up was rare, indicating what role her uncle played.
Speaking of uncle...
Yin ng stretched her neck to look around, but with the mass of people, she couldn’t spot Yin Shixiu.
Though he had said he’d co, who knew if he had arrived yet.
"Who are you looking for?"
Su Xiaong noticed her scanning around and couldn’t help asking.
"Ah? Just looking to see if there are any acquaintances."
Su Xiaong was a bit suspicious but didn’t think too much. She checked the ti and slipped backstage to inspect the mbers’ costus and makeup.
Yin ng sighed lightly. After what had happened to Su Xiaong, Yin ng didn’t dare ntion her uncle casually in front of her.
Luckily, her uncle had gone back to the United Kingdom to handle business and hadn’t inquired further.
When he returned two days ago and said he wanted to co to the school to watch the performance, she was stunned for quite a while.
It was only after he said, "I’m sponsoring my niece, so I should at least see what kind of show you’re putting on," that she realized she was overthinking. She couldn’t believe she had thought...
She initially planned to arrange a special seat for her uncle, but he declined, saying he had work in the evening and would leave shortly after watching for a bit.
Before heading backstage, she glanced around again, still not seeing Yin Shixiu, but... she did see Ren Yixuan.
He stood in a rather hidden corner, but even under the lights, his figure was striking.
Across the theater’s distance, she couldn’t make out his face but could see his loneliness.
