Chapter 589: Love Is in the Air

The following day, the sun shone brightly in the cloudless sky.
When An Xiaxia arrived at school, Kang Jian was no longer there.
She called him on his cell phone and Kang Jian’s mum picked up in the end, talking in her usual loud and hearty voice. “He’s going to the army today! He’s already boarded the train! His dad and I both think it’s a good thing. You and Xiao Su don’t need to worry about him. Study hard~”
“Why did he leave so soon…” An Xiaxia asked, a little upset.
“The time was fixed for quite a while. He said he didn’t want to upset you and Xiao Su, so he kept it from you on purpose. Hoho… such a dumb kid…” Mother Kang began to sob. “He’s such a fool…”
He would have to stay in the army for at least two years, and it was only natural that his mother would be sad about his long absence.
Moreover, she knew better than anyone else why her son had made this decision…
An Xiaxia also felt awful. Her eyes were red after she hung up.
Su Xiaomo got the news of Kang Jian joining the army after she arrived at school and she was dumbstruck. “Seriously? He never said anything about it! Shit… He’s such a goof. Will they give him a hard time in the army…”
“Hm… stop it.” An Xiaxia felt sadder at her words and Su Xiaomo was in a bad mood, too. Sheng Yize and He Jiayu exchanged a look, both feeling helpless.
What could they do to cheer them up?
The two girls were in a gloomy mood the whole day. After school, they went to eat barbecue together.
With their friend away, even the meat didn’t taste as good.
“People talk about going their separate ways after graduation… but we haven’t graduated yet and it’s already happened to us…” Su Xiaomo was rather sentimental today. She poured An Xiaxia a glass of beer and they both drained their glasses. An Xiaxia then murmured, “I hope his dreams come true and he can live a happy life.”
“Haha…” Su Xiaomo’s laugh sounded hollow. “Without him, life doesn’t feel as fun.”
Both girls fell silent.
September this year felt desolate because of this parting of friends.
Sooner or later, life would inflict unavoidable pain on you, which you had no choice but to endure.
Then, adults called this experience — growing up.
Su Xiaomo slammed her chopsticks down on the table after a few bites of meat. “This sucks. That goofy fellow’s not around now and I have no one to punch and scold.”
An Xiaxia didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “Do you think Worthless Kang will feel lucky to be able to escape you?”
“Go away! I’m not as ferocious as that! He Jiayu once said I’m a gentle girl!”
An Xiaxia shuddered. “You two are so mushy!”
“Hmph! I’ve always been a gentle baby!”
“Hm… Momo, I noticed something. You used to address yourself as someone else’s father, but you’ve switched to ‘baby’ now!”
Su Xiaomo buried her face in her hands. “I’m a baby!”
An Xiaxia: … The power of love was unbelievable. Why did she suddenly miss that savage Su Xiaomo from before?
She picked up her phone and saw that someone had been frantically trying to reach her on QQ.
“Xiaxia! Check the school bbs! You’ve gone viral!”
An Xiaxia broke out in a cold sweat immediately. Gosh, not again!
She opened the school bbs and saw the title of the most popular post: Love is in the air! Dear Sheng & Xia, have mercy on your fellow single classmates!
In the post was a video recording of Sheng Yize sticking up for her during physics class the other day.
“For one, do we need your permission to be together?
“For another…
“Last but not least…”
His magnificent speech rendered the dean speechless.
The bbs exploded over the post!
However, the main reason the post became so popular… was that Sheng Yize himself had replied!
