It was Auntie Song’s number, which meant that the call was from the little villain! Su Jiu immediately picked it up. “Hello? Big Brother?”
“It’s me.” The one on the call was indeed Rong Si.
“Big Brother, are you on holiday? Where are you planning to spend New Year’s this year?” Su Jiu could not wait to tell him her thoughts. “If possible, can you and Auntie Song come to the capital for the new year? Let’s have a hotpot together. It’ll definitely be very lively.”
The other end of the line was silent for two seconds. Then, Su Jiu heard Rong Si say, “I’m downstairs.”
Su Jiu was stunned.
What? No way!
Why didn’t the little villain inform us beforehand?
This is a huge surprise!
Su Jiu hurriedly ran to the balcony and looked downstairs. Indeed, she saw the young man standing below.
It was snowing outside. Rong Si stood there tall and straight in a dark-gray turtleneck sweater and a black coat. Fine snowflakes fell on his hair and body. He looked like a painting standing there, so beautiful that she could not take her eyes off him.
After ending the call, Su Jiu happily ran downstairs. “Big Brother!”
She stopped in front of him and seriously looked up at him.
This was the first time they were meeting after another semester. The little villain seemed to have grown a little taller. His handsome face was always so pleasing to the eye. He had a cold and noble aura around him, and he looked a hundred times better than the surrounding snow.
Su Jiu looked behind him and did not see Song Wanqiu. She curiously asked, “Big Brother, are you here alone?”
“I came with Mother, but I wanted to meet you alone.”
When Su Jiu looked into his deep and serious eyes, her face felt inexplicably warm. “Big Brother, why did you look for me? Do you have something to tell me?”
Rong Si nodded. “After the New Year, I’m going to the coastal city in the south for high school. Before I leave, I wanted to see you and give you a gift.”
He’s really leaving…
‘I’m going somewhere far away. I don’t know when I’ll see you again.’
Su Jiu suddenly felt a little sad, but she forced himself to perk up. It’s alright. Transportation is so advanced now; if the little villain can’t come back, I will go and see him!
And so it was happily decided.
At the thought of this, Su Jiu’s mood became better. She asked with interest, “Big Brother, what present do you want to give me? Could it be strawberries again?”
“No,” Rong Si said, suddenly looking uncomfortable.
His ears turned slightly red as he thought of something.
He could feel that his breathing had become a little hurried, and his heart was thumping very fast. He had never felt so nervous before.
As for the gift, he had made up his mind to give it to her a long time ago.
But now that he was standing in front of her, he was actually feeling a little embarrassed.
Seeing his face turn slightly red, Su Jiu became even more curious about the gift he wanted to give her. She asked in confusion and anticipation, “Big Brother?”
Rong Si returned to his senses and clenched the small box in his hand.
Pursing his lips, he mustered his courage, took out the box, and passed it to her. “For you.”
Su Jiu looked at the old red brocade box in his hand and curiously asked, “What is this?”
“You’ll know when you open it.” Rong Si placed the box in her hands.
Su Jiu opened the brocade box and found a green jade pendant lying neatly inside.. It was in the shape of a small and exquisite gourd and was tied with a red string.
