Jiang Sui didn't dare to imagine the other possibility.
She calmed down and asked Wu Chunhao, "Can you contact him? I will be flying to Canada for an interview the day after tomorrow, and I want to meet him before I leave. If he is really unable to spare the time, I can also..."
Jiang Sui stopped talking suddenly here.
She suddenly realized that she couldn't go to HK because she didn't have a pass.
“I don’t have any contact information either.”
Wu Chunhao's words made Jiang Sui's heart chilled again.
She suddenly said to Wu Chunhao on the other end of the phone with a trembling voice, "Brother Haozi, please think of a way to contact him. I haven't seen him since the accident. I want to see him. If I wait until I come back from the interview, it will take at least a week."
Hearing Jiang Sui say this, Wu Chunhao felt a little bit reluctant, and he said, "I'll try to see if I can contact him. If not, don't worry, it's the same if we meet again after the interview."
"Um."
When Jiang Sui returned to Shenda, all departments had already started their summer vacation and there were not many people on campus.
According to the school's usual practice, the dormitories will be closed a week after the start of summer vacation.
Regardless of whether she can pass the interview at Mengda University this time, she is certain to study abroad next semester.
Jiang Sui spent an afternoon organizing, sorting and packing up his things in the dormitory.
She will ask Xiao Wen to send the things she needs via international logistics when the next semester starts, but most of the things are not necessary to bring with her, so she can just ask Xiao Wen to send them back to Jingbei.
By the time she had finished getting everything ready, it was already evening and Xiao Wen called her.
"Hey, Sui Sui, I heard you're back in Shenhai? Have you completed all the formalities?"
As soon as the call was connected, before Jiang Sui could say anything, Xiao Wen started asking questions.
It seemed like it had been a long time since he heard Xiao Wen chattering in his ear, Jiang Sui smiled.
"Well, it's all done."
"So when are you leaving?"
"The flight is early the day after tomorrow."
"Are you going back then? Or are you just waiting there for admission?"
"I have to go back, how can I not? This time I'm going alone, my brother's visa hasn't been processed yet. I'll stay here for a month, and when his visa is processed, we'll go together."
Jiang Sui estimated it in his mind and answered honestly, "Preparation, interview, waiting for the results, plus the communication, it will take about a week, and then I will return."
Xiao Wen sighed and said, "Okay, even though you'll be back in a week, let's get together at the bar tomorrow night. After all, we have to fly across the Pacific Ocean. This time it's not a practice, just a get-together, hey!"
Xiao Wen suddenly became melancholy as he spoke, "Sister Ai has graduated, and you are leaving. From now on, I will be the only one left in the dormitory !"
Jiang Sui felt a little uncomfortable when Xiao Wen, who was always cheerful, suddenly became like this. She comforted her on the phone, "No, you will have a new roommate soon. With your communication skills, you will have friends soon."
“But they are not you.”
Jiang Sui was speechless, not knowing what to say next.
"But fortunately, Li Ai has a job and has not left Shenhai. We can still see each other occasionally. As for you, the sky is high and the sea is vast. You are going to be sweet and happy with your brother. Don't forget us!" Xiao Wen suddenly changed his mood and said with a smile.
Jiang Sui smiled, "Okay, I won't forget you. I'll come back to play with you during the holidays. You have to treat me to a drink, and it has to be the most expensive!"
Xiao Wen also smiled and said, "Okay, here are Cui Jin's collections from the bar office, you can drink as much as you want!"
"Ha ha."
After chatting and laughing for a while, the two ended the call.
For dinner, Jiang Sui just had some instant noodles in the dormitory.
Before going to bed, she called Si Nian again, but his phone was still turned off.
She asked Wu Chunhao again, but there was still no news.
With no other options, Jiang Sui could only send a WeChat message to Si Nian, hoping that he would contact her in time after seeing it.
She originally had a lot of questions she wanted to ask Si Nian, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart, but after typing and deleting on her phone, in the end all that was left was one sentence.
【Shanxi: Brother, I’m in Shenhai now. Brother Haozi said you went to HK. I have an early flight the day after tomorrow. I don’t know if I can see you tomorrow. I miss you.】
As expected, no response was received all night.
The dormitory was closed at 8 o'clock the next morning, and Jiang Sui left at 7:30 carrying his suitcase.
After getting in a taxi, Jiang Sui first went to Sinian's repair shop. The roller shutter door of the shop was tightly locked.
She sat on the suitcase and stayed in front of the door for a while.
As usual, when she came, Si Nian would run out and hug her first.
But today there is only a cold iron door here.
Si Nian was not in Shenhai, and she didn't know where to go that day.
After sitting there stupidly for half a day, Jiang Sui took a taxi to the area near Cui Jin's Time Bar in the afternoon and checked into a random hotel.
She couldn't sleep last night because she was waiting for news from Si Nian.
As soon as he entered the hotel room, Jiang Sui fell on the bed and fell asleep. He was in a deep sleep the whole afternoon and didn't know what year it was.
It was not until seven o'clock in the evening that she was awakened by a call from Xiao Wen.
She got up, took a quick shower, and changed into the floral dress that Si Nian bought her on the last day of September last year.
For some reason, she had a feeling that Si Nian would show up tonight.
Because every time she told him that she missed him, he would appear in front of her not long after.
Jiang Sui still went out without makeup as usual, because Si Nian once said that Jiang Sui looked best in her original appearance.
The hotel is only separated from the Time Bar by a street.
Jiang Sui arrived at the bar quickly. According to what Xiao Wen said on the phone, she went up to the second floor and saw Xiao Wen, Cui Jin, Wu Chunhao and Li Ai already sitting in the booth.
She trotted over and said, "Sorry, I took a nap in the afternoon and got up late."
Xiao Wen and Li Ai immediately stood up and pulled her over to sit down with them.
"It's not late, the nightlife has just begun." Xiao Wen winked at her.
Jiang Sui saw Wu Chunhao sitting opposite him and couldn't help but ask him again.
"Brother Haozi, is there any news about me?"
Wu Chunhao said nothing and glanced at Cui Jin beside him.
Cui Jin coughed lightly, looked at Jiang Sui and said, "Girl, it's like this. I asked someone to pass the message to Si's HK headquarters, but I don't know if it can be passed on to Wen Jiu in time."
Jiang Sui looked lonely again for a while.
Then she smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll be back in a week. He should have some news in a week, right? If he still hasn't come back by the time I get back, I'll get another pass to go to HK to look for him."
After seeing her calm down, several people drank and chatted happily.
After an unknown amount of time, someone called out breathlessly, "Jiang Sui."
Jiang Sui turned around following the voice and saw Si Nian, who was wearing a suit and looked a little dusty.
She was overjoyed and immediately ran over and threw herself into Si Nian's arms.
"Brother, I knew you would come back."
Si Nian gently held the back of her head with one hand and rubbed her cheek with some pity.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
The four people in the booth looked at each other when they saw this, then stood up and went downstairs to give them some private space.
After Si Nian and Jiang Sui hugged each other for a while, he pulled her over and asked her to sit in the booth. He did not sit next to Jiang Sui, but sat opposite her.
Jiang Sui didn't pay attention to these things. She was extremely happy to see Si Nian.
At this moment, she looked at him and finally felt relieved and said, "Fortunately, he didn't suffer any injuries after being beaten so hard."
Hearing Jiang Sui say this, Si Nian's eyes darkened, but soon returned to normal. He only responded to her in a low voice, "Yeah."
Jiang Sui took Si Nian's hand on the table and said with some emotion, "Fortunately, there was no danger. This matter will be resolved soon. After I leave tomorrow, you must also quickly apply for your visa. You will definitely be very busy next month, but it doesn't matter. I will be back in a week, and then I will help you. It will be faster for the two of us to handle it."
Si Nian listened silently, his thoughts a little drifting.
Jiang Sui also noticed it. She shook his hand and asked with a smile, "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh, no." Si Nian curved his lower lip towards Jiang Sui.
Then Jiang Sui started talking to Si Nian about some materials and documents that needed to be prepared, and imagined their future life in Canada.
She said that after he goes there, he can first pick up the languages and programming that he is good at, and then apply to a school in Canada to go back to college as soon as possible. The two of them can study and earn money at the same time, and their lives will definitely get better and better.
It is obviously a beautiful dream, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will come true soon.
But in real life, there are many things that we cannot help.
"Years old."
Jiang Sui was daydreaming with great enthusiasm when Si Nian suddenly called her in a deep voice.
Jiang Sui suddenly stopped, looked at Si Nian and said with a smile, "Well, brother, you talk, I'm listening."
Si Nian exhaled heavily, pursed his lips, and then looked at Jiang Sui with a serious expression.
"Sui Sui, I may not be able to go to Canada with you."
Jiang Sui was stunned, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
"What did you say?"
“I said, I can’t go.”
Si Nian closed his eyes and repeated it again with difficulty.
Jiang Sui moved his lips, but didn't say anything.
She took back the hand that she had been holding on Si Nian, and twisted the two hands together, feeling a little helpless.
After a while, she forced herself to open her mouth again , "Oh, I forgot, the case may take several months to be retried, so I'll go first, and you can go after the case is completely settled here."
Jiang Sui was unwilling to believe that Si Nian's words were what she understood at first.
So she said this deliberately, just to give Si Nian a chance to change his words.
He has already broken the agreement once, and he can't do it a second time.
Otherwise, how could she convince herself to continue to trust him?
Jiang Sui didn’t dare to think about how a couple without trust would move on.
Jiang Sui had already found an excuse for him. She stared straight into his eyes, hoping that he would continue to follow her words as usual.
But in life there are always so many things that go against our wishes.
"I'm sorry, Sui Sui, it's not that I can't go for the time being, nor that I want to go a little later, it's that I won't go anymore from now on."
Si Nian's words were like a basin of freezing cold water, pouring over Jiang Sui's head, and his burning heart instantly turned cold.
"Why?"
Didn't we make an appointment long ago? Why are you breaking it again?
Jiang Sui didn't ask the rest of the question. She lowered her head with mist in her eyes.
Si Nian held Jiang Sui's intertwined hands, with helplessness in his eyes.
He said, "Everything changed overnight. Si Mu died, Si Yue was arrested, the old man was seriously ill, and there was no one left in the Si family except me...Si's stock price has plummeted, and it's a mess..."
"So you decided to return to the Si family again?"
Realizing that his tone was a little bad, Jiang Sui began to take deep breaths and tried to adjust himself.
She didn't want to pass on her bad temper to Si Nian.
When she spoke again, her voice was low and her tone returned to normal.
"The people of the Si family, including the old man, have done everything to you. Do you not care about anything at all?"
Si Nian sighed, "I do care. But I can't watch the Si family completely disappear from this land. After all, that was my father's former home and family. After all, I also have Si family blood in my veins. This is something I can't change no matter where I go."
"What about me?" Jiang Sui finally couldn't hold back her tears and asked him again, "What should I do? You and I agreed on this first."
Bitterness flashed in Si Nian's eyes. He turned his head away, not daring to look at Jiang Sui's tearful eyes.
"I'm sorry, I have to break my promise, Sui Sui."
