Since she didn’t like her, why should she force a smile? She would only come to this world once, so there was no need to smile at someone she didn’t like.
Song Yun looked a bit awkward, but she quickly recovered and smiled, “Oh right, I slept in your room last night. Xiuxiu definitely won’t mind.”
Su Yunxiu held back her temper. “I don’t mind. I’m going to throw the sheets away anyway.”
She wanted to leave. As for the bedsheets and bedding, she had never thought of taking them away, let alone now that Song Yun had slept in them.
Song Yun’s face alternated between green and white when she was so obviously despised, but she couldn’t say anything to refute Su Yunxiu.
Xu Mu said, “Xiuxiu…”
“Shut up and eat quickly. After you’re done, talk about us.” Su Yunxiu didn’t want to listen to his nonsense and coldly interrupted him.
The conversation last night had already allowed her to see this man’s character clearly. Every word he said would feel like a performance to Su Yunxiu.
Since he wasn’t sincere, it was hard for him to act for so long.
Xu Mu choked. He had never seen such a domineering and merciless Su Yunxiu.
The little girl had grown a lot overnight. She was covered in thorns and exuded a coldness that kept strangers away.
He did not understand why it had suddenly become like this. It was clearly fine before.
Was it necessary to make such a fuss over such a small matter?
Xu Mu’s mind was filled with thoughts, but he did not think that it was his fault. Anyway, she would not run away here, so he would eat breakfast first. He was not in a hurry.
Thousands of thoughts kept churning in his mind. Xu Mu subconsciously sped up his eating speed. Song Yun, who had been chattering non-stop just now, also began to eat quietly. She wondered what Su Yunxiu wanted to say when she came over.
She was a little afraid. She was afraid that Xu Mu would not agree to be separated from Su Yunxiu. With four years of relationship on the line, she was not confident.
Both of them had their own thoughts during the meal.
Su Yunxiu was not in a hurry. She calmly looked at her phone as she sat on the sofa and scrolled through her social media feed to pass the time.
When she left, he realized that she had a new friend in her contact list.
The other party’s profile picture was pure black, and the name was just a simple W.
There was a note accompanying the friend invitation: Teacher Su, I wish to talk to you about dancing.
If not for this note, she would definitely not have added this person.
This was because she thought that it might be some parent who wanted to ask about the dance. The other party appeared to be editing his message but did not succeed in sending a sentence.
Su Yunxiu was puzzled
Did he have to draft an essay to ask a question?
After waiting for a minute, Su Yunxiu turned off her phone.
From the corner of her eye, she saw that they had already come out of the kitchen. Su Yunxiu put away her phone and said calmly, “President Xu, let’s talk in the study.”
It was as if she had come over to discuss business without any emotions.
Xu Mu frowned. “Okay.”
Song Yun really wanted to follow them. She knew that Xu Mu would not let her go over, so she could only worry.
In order to ensure that her plan was foolproof, she thought about it and called Tao Ping to explain the situation. The only person who could help her now was Tao Ping.
In the study. Su Yunxiu sat on the single-seater sofa. Xu Mu thought that if it was before, she would definitely sit beside him and hold his hand intimately, smiling brightly as they chatted about things.
At this moment, she looked like she wanted to draw a clear line with him. This made him inexplicably unhappy. Was he a ferocious beast? Was there a need to go so far?
“Xiuxiu…” The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn’t know how to speak. He looked really wronged.
“Since you don’t know what to say, let me say it.” Su Yunxiu lowered his head and said clearly, “I didn’t break up on impulse, so from today onwards, I have nothing to do with you.”
“As for who you want to be with in the future, that’s your freedom. Don’t make things difficult for your parents because of me.”
“I don’t agree!” He stood up and looked down at her. “Why? Just because of Song Yun?”
“I already said that there is nothing between us. Why don’t you believe me? Don’t you think it’s too unreasonable to break up with me over such a small matter?”
He thought that Su Yunxiu wanted to break up because of Song Yun.
“Why? Aren’t you just toying with me? Have you forgotten the reason why you were with me back then? All these years, all your friends knew about it, but I was kept in the dark.”
“I really want to know what I look like in your eyes. I’m like a fool who doesn’t know anything.”
Xu Mu was surprised. “How did you know?”
The more she spoke, the more agitated she became. Because of her anger, her originally fair face gradually turned red. She widened her eyes and looked at him. “Is this important? Do you really think you can hide what you’ve done?”
“Even if you really want to be with me, I want to ask, is work more important to you or me? Do you have me in your future plans? You probably don’t even know the most basic of my food preferences.”
Xu Mu was rendered speechless by the barrage of questions. Su Yunxiu already knew the answer in that second of silence.
She closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the emotions in her eyes gradually turned calm. She had been disappointed too many times and gradually became numb.
“There’s nothing to say. Let’s part on good terms.” Su Yunxiu used all her strength to say this. “That’s all.”
Su Yunxiu looked away and walked away, not wanting to see his expression.
She did not know what Xu Mu was thinking, nor did she want to guess. She was very grateful that Xu Mu had also given her some good memories in this relationship, but she did not want to continue. Four years had passed. How many four years did she have to wait?
It was not just a straw that broke the camel’s back. Disappointment and grievances had accumulated to the extreme. Even an invincible person would be tired.
Just as Xu Mu was about to chase after her, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. He could only give up on the idea of chasing after her.
The girl quickly tidied up her things. There were not many things, just a suitcase was enough. As for the rest that she did not need, she threw them into the trash can without blinking.
She originally thought that she would be ridiculed by Song Yun when she went out. To her surprise, she was no longer outside. Su Yunxiu could not be bothered to deal with her; she carried her suitcase and strode away.
