Chapter 997: You Never Loved Me Enough (7)
It was a fierce sense of possessiveness, and also a fierce urge to protect. He didn’t know when it had started, but Sheng Yanxiao knew he wanted to take that sensitive, fragile girl under his wing, keep her safe, and give her more and more care.
Compared to many children who had lost their parents, Su Weiyi was already very lucky, but Sheng Yanxiao still felt it wasn’t enough. She deserved the very best this world had to offer.
For example... him.
With that thought, the corners of Sheng Yanxiao’s lips couldn’t help but curl up in a faint smile. Si Nian choked again; if it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t beat the man in front of him, he would really have loved to take a picture of this scene and show it to Sheng Yanxiao, so he could see for himself just how... rippling that smile at the corner of his mouth was.
Months with holidays in them always flew by incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of May, the beginning of June.
The university campus had also entered the period of final exam review. As soon as the review break started, Su Weiyi obeyed Sheng Yanxiao’s wishes and moved out of the dorm into the off-campus apartment.
During this time there was another big event: the results came out for that competition Su Weiyi had entered before. Of the five people Q University sent, only Xie Xiaoran won a gold prize. Of the other four, two received "Excellence" awards and two were directly eliminated.
Su Weiyi was one of the two with an Excellence award. It wasn’t exactly a great ranking, but it was about what she had expected.
In the field of painting, Su Weiyi could be considered talented, but there were plenty of people more gifted than she was. Besides, she very clearly felt that she didn’t really fit that style of painting or that type of competition.
She liked drawing comics, liked coming up with stories, then using comics to express them.
So even though she didn’t win a prize, Su Weiyi didn’t feel particularly disappointed.
She curled up in the apartment reviewing. They had to take exams in both their professional courses and general education courses. As a top-tier university in the country, Q University was very strict about exams. Once you were caught cheating, it would go on your record as a major demerit.
Su Weiyi started reviewing right after dinner. Her first exam was tomorrow. After more than two hours of studying, her neck felt stiff. She stood up to stretch, then turned her head to look at the person sitting on the sofa, fingers clacking away on the keyboard. "I’m going to take a shower first."
Sheng Yanxiao lifted his eyes to look at her, but his hands didn’t stop. "Mm."
Su Weiyi went back to the bedroom to grab her pajamas and headed to the bathroom. Sheng Yanxiao still sat upright on the sofa, fingers tapping on the keyboard, lines of code flying rapidly across the screen from beneath his fingertips.
After a long while his fingers finally stilled, as if he’d gotten stuck.
Sheng Yanxiao frowned, set the laptop aside, stood up to flex his fingers, then walked to the window and looked out at the night.
His mind was clearly not on enjoying the view; he was still thinking about that bug he had just run into.
The phone Su Weiyi had left on the table chimed with a "ding." Sheng Yanxiao didn’t pay attention. Soon it chimed "ding" again, and after a few seconds, it turned into continuous vibration—that was a call.
Glancing at the caller ID, Sheng Yanxiao reached out and answered, "This is Sheng Yanxiao. What is it?"
On the other end of the line, Si Xia froze for a moment, then spoke. "Where’s Xiao Yi? I need to talk to her about something."
"She’s in the shower."
When he said this, Young Master Sheng’s expression was perfectly calm, as if he didn’t feel at all that saying "Su Weiyi is in the shower" at this hour was the kind of thing that would easily send people’s imaginations running wild.
