Chapter 381 Don’t give up

For the first time, Su Youjin felt like she couldn't control her emotions.

She wanted to scream, she wanted to vent, she felt so suffocated in her chest that she almost went crazy.

However, her snow-white teeth tightly bit her pale and dry lower lip. The sharp stinging pain distracted some of the pain in her heart. She felt a strange sense of pleasure. A smell of rust spread in her mouth, and she tasted a slightly fishy and salty taste.

Her precarious rationality told her that these were not reasons for her to lose her temper with Xiao Xiao.

She tried hard to suppress her emotions. She only felt her head swelling and wanted to gasp for air, but she managed to hold it back.

Her face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and she remained as cold and dignified as ever, as if she was not at all discouraged by yet another fruitless attempt.

She lowered her eyelids, and her long eyelashes cast another layer of dark shadow on her dark eyes. Her eyes, which were already obscured, were even more hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see the emotions inside.

She tried her best to curl the corners of her mouth and expressed her gratitude to Xiao Xiao.

She was the one who went to ask for help, and Xiao Xiao spent so much time accompanying her to find the money.

Even if she didn't find it, she should be grateful.

But she was really sad, she could hardly hold up the expression on her face.

The huge disappointment suddenly turned into deep sadness and almost dragged her into the abyss of despair.

……

Xiao Xiao smelled a faint smell of blood in the air.

He looked at Su Youjin, who seemed to be normal, and indeed found a hint of bright red on her pale and dry lips.

The snow-white teeth that were biting her lower lip were stained with a little blood.

It's quite a shocking visual effect.

Maybe it was because this girl was obviously in great pain, but she didn't show it on her face and still thanked me with a smile, which made it even more touching.

A mixture of strength and fragility.

The huge shadow became more and more distinct in her eyes.

It is so contradictory, yet it makes people feel sad.

The aura around the girl was still so cold and refreshing, yet it was so depressing and heavy that made people inexplicably sad and upset.

……

"Su Youjin."

Xiao Xiao has never been someone who is good at comforting others. The girl was clearly smiling, but she looked like she was about to cry, which made him feel a little helpless.

However, Xiao Xiao's eyebrows were slightly curved, and he would try his best to do what he could.

"We'll look for it tomorrow."

"It doesn't matter if I can't find it today."

"Keep looking, one day, we will find the silver."

Xiao Xiao's clear voice was incredibly gentle in the night because he had deliberately lowered it.

……

"Keep looking?"

Su Youjin repeated Xiao Xiao's words in a daze.

"Do you want to give up?"

Xiao Xiao looked serious, but there was a soothing curve at the corner of his mouth.

"give up?"

Su Youjin seemed to be repeating herself, and seemed to be asking herself, but the next second, the answer came out, "No."

The slightly hoarse voice was almost inaudible. Su Youjin suddenly raised her eyes and glared at Xiao Xiao angrily. There was a small flame burning in her amber eyes. "No!"

How could she bear to give up?

How could she be willing to give up?

That is silver, the silver that has accompanied her until now and never left her!

……

"Then don't give up."

Xiao Xiao's clear and gentle voice is like a mountain spring, warm and slightly cool, but very comfortable for the listeners.

If you don't want to give up, then don't give up.

Since you are willing to keep looking, then keep looking.

Until the day I had to give up.

Until the day when I can't find it anymore.

……

"Let's go back." "Okay."

……

"wait for me."

Seeing the convenience store on the street, Xiao Xiao said to Su Youjin.

"Ah."

Su Youjin didn't ask why.

Even on the way back, she did not relax for a moment. She kept calling out softly and looking for Yin Zi, fearing that she had missed something before.

……

When Xiao Xiao came out of the store, he did not see Su Youjin there. He looked around and saw Su Youjin walking out of the aisle between the two shops.

The expression on the upper half of the face is hidden in the darkness, and the amber eyes seem to be ambiguous and blurred under the reflection of the lights in the distance.

But there is not a trace of warmth.

The exposed chin and lips are clearly visible.

Xiao Xiao could clearly see the blood scab on Su Youjin's pale lips.

……

Xiao Xiao walked forward and handed the hot drink he had just bought to Su Youjin.

"Thank you."

Su Youjin held a hot drink in her hand, and the warm temperature passed through her palm and spread throughout her body.

She couldn't help but take a small sip, and felt a slight tingling sensation on her lips.

However, the silky and hot liquid rolled down her throat into her stomach, and the warm feeling spread throughout her limbs.

She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed that even the clammy heart felt a hint of warmth.

……

Even though it was freezing cold, the school gate was still quite busy at this time.

Students came in and out, their noses red from the cold and their eyes sparkling.

There are also some stalls set up at the school gate.

This is of course not allowed.

It’s just that there is a large flow of people here, and even though there is a risk of being driven away or even having their things confiscated, many stall owners still risk their lives to set up stalls here every day.

While greeting the guests, one must also keep an eye on all directions and listen carefully, ready to run away immediately if one finds something is wrong.

……

Xiao Xiao and Su Youjin naturally didn't have the leisure time to visit the stalls.

They walked straight into the school.

Even though Su Youjin's face was pale and her breath was cold, she still attracted everyone's attention.

The students gathered in groups of three or four, whispering to each other as they looked at Su Youjin, with undisguised amazement in their eyes.

Su Youjin was used to it and was not moved.

The amber eyes seemed calm and indifferent, but upon closer inspection one could see that they were completely blank and out of focus.

Obviously, Su Youjin was distracted.

……

No one noticed Xiao Xiao standing aside.

Their eyes followed Su Youjin, and their vision was occupied by that figure with a unique aura.

Yes, Su Youjin has a unique temperament different from others.

Her appearance is indeed outstanding, but what pushes her to such a high position as the national treasure beauty of Yan State is her unique temperament that cannot be replicated and belongs only to Su Youjin.

It is impossible not to be amazed, and one even subconsciously ignores Su Youjin's equally outstanding appearance.

……

Xiao Xiao was naturally happy to see this happen.

Before, there was a Mu Ye, but when he saw him talking to Su Youjin for a few words, he asked someone to teach him a lesson.

He doesn't want a few more Mu Ye's to come.

Although he is not afraid, he is also a trouble.

However, speaking of Mu Ye, why haven’t I seen him?

Hasn't he been pursuing Su Youjin all along?
