Chapter 376 Hope and Despair

Su Youjin was a little stunned, then nodded slowly, "Yeah."

Her amber eyes sparkled.

The proud and confident Su Youjin is back.

She never thought of giving up the search for the silver. If she couldn't find it in one day, she would try two days. If she couldn't find it in two days, she would try three days. If she couldn't find it in three days, she would try four days...

One month, one year, three years, five years... As long as she keeps looking, she will eventually find the money.

……

However, Su Youjin turned her head to look at Xiao Xiao who was walking beside her. Perhaps with this person around, she wouldn't need to spend so much time to find the silver.

For some reason, this thought suddenly flashed through Su Youjin's mind.

Maybe it wasn't sudden, she had been thinking this way since she dialed his number?

But now, this understanding has inexplicably deepened a little bit.

why?

Obviously this person hasn't done anything yet.

Obviously, this person hasn't discovered anything so far.

However, Su Youjin's heart, which had been uneasy and confused ever since the silver disappeared, strangely calmed down a little and returned to its original peace.

She became a little more confident about finding the silver.

……

As the night grew darker, the campus became quieter.

The dim light from the street lamps revealed the thick snow below, and also made the darkness outside the circle of light even deeper.

The noisy voices disappeared without a trace.

A few scattered black shadows were also walking in a hurry.

……

Xiao Xiao and Su Youjin used the glass greenhouse as the axis and gradually searched outwards.

He also summoned Duoji, trying to see if he could detect any remaining scent of silver.

Unfortunately, the heavy snow during the day covered everything under the soft and fluffy snow.

Duoji lowered his head, sniffed left and right, and then shook his head, expressing his helplessness and gaining nothing.

The surprising heavy snow caused Xiao Xiao's mouth to curl up in a helpless arc at this moment.

His brows were slightly furrowed, his expression solemn.

It’s not easy to find the silver now.

……

Xiao Xiao just managed to get back to the dormitory building before curfew.

Walking on the quiet stairs, Xiao Xiao was thoughtful.

……

He and Su Youjin searched for an entire night but found nothing.

The silver seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace of its existence.

Except for the memories of him and Su Youjin.

……

One night, Su Youjin was very quiet, yet she was faintly stubborn.

Her amber eyes were a mixture of hope and despair, and her pale skin was almost transparent.

If Xiao Xiao hadn't reminded her, Su Youjin would definitely have spent the entire night searching on campus.

……

Xiao Xiao sent Su Youjin back to the girls' dormitory.

Su Youjin's pupils seemed to glow under the dim light.

"Su Youjin, tomorrow is a weekend."

“We have plenty of time to find it.”

"Go back and have a good rest."

"Otherwise, my eyes are blurry, how can I find money?"

Xiao Xiao spoke softly, with a warm smile in his eyes.

"Ah."

Su Youjin also curled the corners of her mouth, even though the curve was so shallow that it was almost invisible.

……

"Go up."

"have a good rest."

Xiao Xiao reminded him again with some concern.

"Yeah." Su Youjin nodded, looking a bit obedient.

She was really a little tired.

Besides, with someone accompanying her to look for silver, she felt that the burden in her heart seemed to be lightened a little.

……

Perhaps the searching during these days made her too tired. Su Youjin occasionally had a sudden realization that the strange little creature might just be an illusion.

Just like the adults whispered when she was a child, she was too lonely, so she imagined a playmate.

She has always believed in the authenticity of the silver.

When she touched the silver hair, the warm touch on the palm of her hand was so real.

She could hear Yin Zi's subtle breathing right next to her ears.

How could these be just my own hallucinations?

She is not a person who follows the crowd.

On the contrary, she is actually a very stubborn and obstinate person.

However, when no one could see Yinzi, she was secretly happy about her uniqueness, because Yinzi was her only friend.

But sometimes, really just sometimes, she would wonder, does money really exist?
Even her vision, hearing, smell, and touch, all the feedback she got told her that the silver was not an illusion.

Was she deceived by herself?
She absolutely did not believe it, yet she was conflicted and suspicious.

She read a lot of psychology books.

But it made her even more uncertain.

When a person doubts even himself, what else can he believe in?
However, Xiao Xiao's appearance saved her.

Not only did it save her life, it also allowed her to feel relieved.

Pulled her out of the quagmire of self-doubt.

Only then did she realize that she had always cared.

She wasn't as convinced as she thought.

A little doubt is like a thorn in the flesh. It doesn't hurt much, but it feels like a thorn in the throat.

It makes people feel uncomfortable and unhappy.

When she found out that Xiao Xiao could also see silver, she was stunned for a long time.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and there was no longer a trace of haze in his amber eyes. The light flowed in them, sparkling and exceptionally clear and moving.

This caused the other girls in the dormitory to be stunned when they saw her smile, their eyes full of amazement.

That’s great, Su Youjin narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Silver is real.

Silver was not just her hallucination.

Just make sure of that.

Yin Zi is always her Yin Zi, and is her best friend who has been with her till now.

But now, she had lost her best friend.

Not sure if it's safe?

Are you in a dangerous situation?
Do you eat well and sleep well?

She had too many worries, and her frown had never completely relaxed in the past three days.

What Su Youjin hates most is people who just indulge in self-pity without taking any action.

So, she would not let herself become such a person.

Even though she failed many times, she still walked around the campus again and again.

Maybe, next time, she will be able to see that silver-gray figure rushing towards her.

Hope and despair, despair and hope again.

Her expression was as cold as ever, and she did not reveal a single bit of her inner torment.

However, her furrowed brows, the increasingly dark circles under her eyes, and her pale face all made it clear that something was wrong with her.

Su Youjin was grateful for the concern of others, but politely refused any form of inquiries.

She told them she was just having some insomnia.

She did not sleep well these days, and she hardly slept at all.

So, she wasn't lying.

It's just some evasion.

Even so, she still felt a little sorry for those who truly cared about her.

However, she would not tell anyone about the money.

Except Xiao Xiao who could also see the silver.
