Chapter 973: She Will Always Be the Sheng Family’s Daughter (3)
The specific reason, Professor Ye didn’t mention over the phone, he only spoke of the outcome. Sheng Yanxiao decisively walked out of the hotel, hailed a cab, and was set to head straight to the airport. But upon giving the address, he hesitated for a moment and decided to return to the apartment first.
Since Sheng Yanxiao left, Su Weiyi sat on the sofa without moving an inch. The look in Sheng Yanxiao’s eyes before he left was deeply imprinted in Su Weiyi’s heart.
She saw an expression named disappointment in his eyes.
Was he disappointed in her?
Her head was a bit foggy as she took out her phone and began drafting a message to Sheng Yanxiao. Su Weiyi wrote a long paragraph but couldn’t send it out. She didn’t want to compromise with Sheng Yanxiao against her conscience because she felt it really wasn’t the time to go public.
However, she didn’t want him to be disappointed either. After much hesitation, she finally sent those three words: "I’m sorry."
After sending the text, Su Weiyi continued to sit in the same spot. After an unknown amount of time, she heard a noise from outside and suddenly stood up, only to see the door open and the young man walk in with short, wet hair.
The rain outside had intensified, and Sheng Yanxiao hadn’t brought an umbrella. Just the short walk from the car to the building door was enough to drench him.
Standing at the entrance, he exchanged a glance with Su Weiyi, the young man’s gaze returned to its usual laziness: "The competition was moved up. I need to head over, just grabbing some clothes."
Su Weiyi came to her senses and quickly spoke: "I’ll help you pack."
She bypassed the coffee table and was about to head to the bedroom when suddenly a force wrapped around her waist, followed by the young man’s cool and damp embrace: "Weiwei, it was my slip of the tongue."
Su Weiyi’s back stiffened. She thought Sheng Yanxiao was still angry, but had he already compromised with her?
This thought barely flashed through her mind before Sheng Yanxiao’s voice came again: "Eighteen, I can wait until eighteen, then I’ll tell them you’re not my sister; you’re my fiancée."
Su Weiyi was taken aback once more. Fiancée? Isn’t this a bit too fast?
"Other than that, from now on, between us, we’ll do it your way."
Su Weiyi felt a slight chill from Sheng Yanxiao’s embrace, but her heart suddenly warmed.
Growing up together, Su Weiyi knew better than anyone that Sheng Yanxiao’s temper wasn’t great. He was a prodigy, with unparalleled intelligence, and she had never seen him heed anyone before.
Let alone compromise with anyone.
Yet he gave all his compromises to her?
Su Weiyi felt a sting at the tip of her nose, but the corners of her lips involuntarily lifted slightly.
She turned around to hug Sheng Yanxiao’s waist, paused, and spoke: "Okay, eighteen."
Next April would be Sheng Yanxiao’s seventeenth birthday; another year would mean turning eighteen, and it was actually not that far away.
After packing a few things simply, Su Weiyi watched Sheng Yanxiao enter the elevator. Before leaving, Sheng Yanxiao mentioned they might be undergoing closed training, so he might not be able to answer her calls at any time.
Su Weiyi nodded and leaned close to his ear to whisper: "Good luck."
A wild defiance appeared momentarily in the young man’s eyes: "Of course."
Sheng Yanxiao left, and Su Weiyi returned to the dormitory. Su Man had gone out with friends for the weekend and wasn’t around; only Xie Xiaoran and she were there.
Both were very quiet people, sitting silently, each doing their own thing.
Because Su Man went to a relatively far place, she didn’t return to school until Monday afternoon and naturally didn’t attend the morning classes.
Su Weiyi and Xie Xiaoran, as usual, arrived in the classroom five minutes early.
Su Weiyi was the department’s beauty, and Xie Xiaoran was the genius girl, theoretically in the spotlight, but due to their personalities, the classmates had long stopped paying much attention to them.
