Hearing Su Xue's question, Number One was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he turned to look at his fiancée.
Number Five shook his head lightly.
"I haven't said it yet."
This kind of situation made Su Xue feel even more uneasy. She was almost certain that there was a secret she didn't know about, and judging from Number 1 and Number 5's attitude, it was clear that this matter was …
Was somewhat serious.
It might even be very serious.
After seemingly pondering for a moment, Number One shook his head and said to his fiancée, "You see, if you think it's appropriate … there's no harm in having one more person know."
Then, he called Chu Fang Nan over and the two of them walked to a corner of the corridor to discuss something in hushed tones, leaving the space for the two women who were almost the same in terms of appearance and temperament.
Su Xue's gaze once again fell on Number Five.
"Qiao Qiao?"
Although she was already restraining herself, Su Xue still could not hide the anxiety and urgency in her heart. She needed to know the truth too much. And if this truth … was closely related to a certain someone and that girl on the other side of the ocean …
Number Five sighed softly.
"This matter … is a long story."
Then, she looked straight into Su Xue's eyes. "Do you know why Steamed Bun went to England? Why did he go to Manchester?"
Hearing this, Su Xue was slightly stunned. She instinctively replied without thinking, "Didn't he transfer schools to study there? That's why he left without even taking the college entrance examination …"
But before she finished speaking, she paused.
Because …
If that was really the case, then Number Five's question was completely meaningless.
So …
"He didn't go to study?" Su Xue made another guess. Perhaps it was because of her habit of thinking, or perhaps it was because she subconsciously believed in that girl, but she had never considered overturning her original beliefs.
But if he didn't go to study, then what else could he do?
Perhaps he had guessed Su Xue's confusion, but Number Five did not choose to directly answer the former's question. Instead, he seemed to lightly change the topic.
"Steamed Bun's results in the past have always been very good, right?"
Su Xue nodded subconsciously. Number Five's voice continued to ring in her ears.
"If he wanted to study in Europe, there was no need to rush. He had to avoid the college entrance examination, right?
"Even if he goes there …"
"With England as the destination, there should be a lot of better choices. Manchester isn't a city that's known for its education."
For a moment, Su Xue was a little confused by the sudden change in topic, but she didn't know how to continue. Fortunately, Number Five continued calmly in the next moment.
"However, in terms of medical technology, Manchester can be said to be the best in the entire United Kingdom and even Europe."
"There … are some very top-notch medical research centers there."
"There are also top-notch hospitals that are specially set up."
If the evaluation of England and Manchester's education at the beginning left Su Xue confused, then the sudden change in the last few sentences made her suddenly realize something.
It was as if a ray of light had pierced his mind.
Or perhaps …
It was a chill that rose from her back the moment a certain thought flashed through her mind.
In the next moment, Su Xue abruptly raised her head, a look of disbelief on her face as she stared at Number Five, who seemed to be speaking calmly.
Number Five's expression did not change. He met Su Xue's gaze, but there was a hint of sorrow in the depths of his eyes. He said softly,
"Steamed Bun, she …"
"Is sick."
…
Most of the time, you would realize how easily a person could be affected by news from the outside world. It could cause a person's mood to change drastically in an extremely short amount of time.
Even if a moment ago, you were relieved that the expedited visa process was completed, and you were overjoyed that you coincidentally met the two most legendary couples in the previous generation of the eSports circle in the corridor.
But in the next moment …
When a certain piece of news was personally told to you by the few people who knew about it.
When the grievous news of the truth that had never flashed in your mind before suddenly and directly smashed in front of you, who was defenseless.
At that moment …
It was as if the sky had suddenly collapsed in front of you, and the entire world suddenly turned dark for a moment.
All the joy, all the relief, all the emotions were cruelly and coldly destroyed in that instant, disappearing without a trace.
After hearing the truth from Number Five's calm but sorrowful voice, Su Xue uncontrollably staggered two steps back. She felt a slight dizziness in her mind, and subconsciously covered her chest with her hands. She did her best to digest the information, but her mind was still buzzing in disbelief and disbelief.
"Steamed Bun … is sick?
How … how is that possible? "
She almost subconsciously mumbled to herself.
Number Five nodded lightly, once again confirming this point with a cruel and realistic voice, "It's true."
Su Xue couldn't help but shut her eyes tightly, her eyelashes trembling violently.
She tried her best to control her emotions, but she couldn't help it. Her voice trembled in the air as she spoke, "When did this happen?"
Number Five was silent for a moment, then said, "A year ago."
"A year ago?!"
Su Xue suddenly opened her eyes again, her face full of disbelief. "But a year ago, Steamed Bun had just transferred to Shanghai …"
'That's right.
That was the reunion between a certain someone and that girl after many years. Everything seemed to be a brand new beginning filled with life and hope. How could it have happened a year ago … '
But in the next moment, Number Five shook his head again and asked in return,
He asked in return, "She was doing well in her original high school in Hangzhou. What kind of reason do you think a normal girl could use to make her family accept her sudden transfer?
And … it was to transfer to the same high school that Lin Feng went to. "
Su Xue was halfway through her sentence when she was forcefully choked by Number Five's rhetorical question. She instinctively opened her mouth, and a guess suddenly flashed in her mind. Shock flashed briefly in her eyes before disappearing.
"Are you saying …"
Number Five smiled soundlessly, but there was a hint of pity and helplessness in his smile towards a certain girl on the other side of the ocean.
"Of course, a normal reason wouldn't be accepted by her family.
So … "
"It can only be some abnormal reason that the family can't refuse."
Su Xue's lips trembled slightly, just like how her heart was trembling uncontrollably at that moment. This was because she also remembered that the girl from half a year ago seemed to have some sort of "minor illness" that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. But now that she linked it to reality, everything seemed to have a more logical and cruel explanation. When she spoke again, there was an unconcealable tremble in her voice.
"Steamed Bun … what kind of illness does she have?"
Number Five pursed his lips, and after a long pause, he slowly shook his head.
"The specifics … I'm not too sure myself."
"This time, when I went to England, I originally wanted to see her, but …"
He did not finish his words.
But Su Xue could already understand the latter half of his words without any effort. Because no one had expected such a sudden and unexpected situation to happen, it would also make everyone who knew the truth … feel uncontrollably anxious and worried for that girl on the other side of the ocean.
"All of this … Lin Feng doesn't know?" Su Xue muttered in a daze. Even now, she still couldn't believe and accept the truth of this reality.
Number Five shook his head.
Then, he looked at Su Xue.
