Chapter 49: Weakness

  Su Yifan skipped class again on Tuesday afternoon.

  Skipping class is absolutely one of the addictive activities, Su Yifan casually made up a lie and told Wang Qin, the head teacher didn't even think about it and let him go.

  At this time, Su Yifan in Wang Qin's heart had already been listed as someone who couldn't be messed with.

  After leaving school, Su Yifan found the address according to the key that Su Xiaqing threw at him.

  According to Su Yifan's memory, this was also one of the recently completed commercial buildings in Binhai City. The huge building stood out unusually in the central business district of Binhai City.

  Su Yifan still looked at the door number plate before daring to confirm that he hadn't found the wrong place, and according to the address on the keychain pendant, he found the 17th floor.

  Not many people have moved into the building yet, and it feels a bit deserted. The long corridors are filled with the smell of freshly laid concrete.

  Su Yifan unlocked the anti-theft door with a key and saw a transparent room first.

  There's no doubt that this is the recording studio Su Xiaoqing had prepared for Su Yifan. Judging from the decoration traces here, since Su Yifan first mentioned wanting to help Zhang Yao, Su Xiaoqing has been quietly preparing.

  Seeing this shocking room, Su Yifan still couldn't help but feel a sour nose.

  This thoughtful feeling is too irresistible.

  Standing in the recording studio and walking around in a circle, Su Yifan familiarized himself with the equipment again before quietly exiting, as if afraid of disturbing something.

  Su Yifan sent a text message to Zhang Yao after coming down from upstairs.

  "You'll have places to sing in the future."

  After sending the message, Su Yifan was about to call Su Xiaqing again when Cheng Shuiyan's phone call came in.

  "Skipping class again?" Cheng Shui Xin asked in a deadpan tone, "You've started not learning well recently?"

  "Let's get something done." Su Yifan said a sentence that didn't have any substantial content. "School isn't out yet, is it?"

  "I've also learned some bad habits and want to skip class." Cheng Shuiying said with a smile, "Actually, I suddenly thought of it, what have you been doing recently that's so mysterious, can't you say yet?"

  Su Yifan was speechless, and Cheng Shui'an apparently became curious about his affairs again.

  "Nothing, can't say anything now." Su Yifan thought of his promise to Zhang Yao and gritted his teeth, saying "I'll be back at school in a bit."

  Cheng Shui Xian Qi said: "You've already skipped class, what's the point of coming back? Where are you, I'll go out and find you to have some fun."

  Su Yifan thought for a moment and couldn't refuse Cheng Shuiyan's direct request, so he said: "I'll go to the coffee shop and wait for you."

  "Okay, I like that place."

  In that nameless coffee shop, Su Yifan had only sat down and waited for less than ten minutes when Cheng Shuiying arrived in a flurry.

  Today, Cheng Shui Xin changed into a pure black down jacket. After taking it off, she revealed a white high-necked sweater that she liked. Her slender figure was just as alluring in the fitted sweater.

  Cheng Shui Xin, still carrying a school bag in her hand, mixed with the flavors of youth and maturity, made many people in the coffee shop stare. Many men couldn't help but throw their eyes on Cheng Shui Xin's body, constantly sneaking glances over.

  "Wait a minute, I'll find the book."

  Cheng Shui Xin put down her coat and backpack, turned around and went to flip through the bookshelf again, but didn't rush to order coffee. Su Yi Fan looked at Cheng Shui Xin's back, a head of black hair gently swaying behind her, and couldn't help but become distracted.

  It wasn't long before Shui Xin found a copy of "Faint Fire" and returned, sitting across from Su Yifan and opening it to a certain page. After reading for a few moments, she looked up and said, "Let's have a cup of 'That Night' today, I like that flavor."

  Ji Xian saw Su Yifan call someone over to order coffee according to his own requirements, and Cheng Shui'an was still enthusiastic.

  "You seem very quiet today?"

  Su Yifan shook his head: "Am I usually talkative?"

  "It's really nothing much." Cheng Shuijin smiled, "What's wrong? It seems like you've had something on your mind lately."

  "No."

  "Alright, I won't ask anymore." Cheng Shuihan made a helpless expression, "Asking you so many times in a row has already exceeded my usual principles."

  Su Yifan smiled and didn't say anything.

  "This afternoon, the student union had a meeting that I was supposed to attend, but I didn't want to go." Cheng Shuiheng wasn't affected by Su Yifan and started talking about school things. "I really don't like the student union's way of doing things. At such a young age, they're all acting like bureaucrats, and the student union president even does slow movements like an old man, I don't know who he's trying to show off to."

  "It's quite boring," Su Yifan said. "On the one hand, they say they are free young people, on the other hand, they want to be slaves of power."

  Cheng Shui Xin smiled slyly and glanced at Su Yi Fan: "You've become very sharp lately? You weren't like this before."

  "I also feel like I've changed a lot." Su Yifan didn't evade this topic, "People may all change, I suppose."

  When it comes to this topic, even the usually clever and quick-witted Cheng Shui Xin becomes somewhat perplexed.

  "Maybe..."

  The coffee arrived, Su Yifan lowered his head and concentrated on stirring the coffee. Cheng Shuiheng stared at the coffee cup without moving, sitting across from him.

  "What's wrong?"

  Cheng Shuixin recovered from her momentary trance.

  "Nothing, I was just thinking about the last time your sister asked us what kind of people we wanted to become." Cheng Shui's voice was very low, "She said I already knew. Actually, I still don't know."

  "Really?"

  "Really." Cheng Shui Xin spoke seriously to Su Yi Fan again, "I may really like things like flowers and applause, but I also feel that I can't do the kind of thing where I completely throw myself out in front of people as if I'm a commodity."

  Su Yifan looked at the girl in front of him with surprise, he didn't expect Cheng Shuihuan to open her heart at this time.

  Who would have thought that Cheng Shui Xin would bring up this topic with someone else?

  Who would have thought that Cheng Shui Xin also had such a confused side and exposed it to others?

  At this moment, Cheng Shuiying did just that, speaking out her inner weakness as if complaining to an old friend.

  "Don't look at me like that." Cheng Shui Yun avoided Su Yi Fan's gaze, "I can probably only say these words to you, sorry."

  Although she said sorry, Cheng Shui Xin didn't look like she meant it.

  Su Yifan smiled, this was the familiar Cheng Shuiyan, that girl who wouldn't show weakness and had a light and airy disposition.

  At this moment, Su Yifan's mind moved slightly.

  "If you had the chance, what would you do?"

  Cheng Shui Xin took a sip of coffee and let out a satisfied sigh.

  "Maybe go and do something to prove your worth," said Cheng Shuiying. "Actually, you know, this world is very vulgar, most of the time evaluating whether a person has value only looks at wealth."

  Only then did Chang Shui Xin return to her usual rhythm.

  Su Yifan has been thinking about these issues for a long time and immediately asked: "Is it still necessary to create wealth?"

  Cheng Shui Xin pointed at the coffee cup in front of Su Yi Fan: "Material things are something that can't be avoided."

  Such facts, Su Yifan also had to admit.

  "So which path will you choose?"

  Su Yifan actually liked chatting with Cheng Shuiyan like this, without avoiding or glossing over anything.

  Cheng Shui Xin thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I'll still choose the direction of culture and entertainment. I always feel like I was born for these things, and when I talk about them, my eyebrows fly up and my face lights up. As long as I have a choice, I really don't want to be treated like a commodity."

  The current Su Yifan is already different from before, he immediately asked: "I think you're not someone who can't enjoy that kind of life, right?"

  "It's fine at this level, of course." Cheng Shui smiled and lowered his head to play with the coffee spoon, saying, "Now everything is very simple. When I really face that complex world, I don't have confidence."

  This was the weak side of Cheng Shui Xin that she would never show in front of others, the soft and delicate girl leaning on the table, her slender fingers gently holding the coffee spoon, made Su Yifan's heart skip a beat.

  She let out a sigh and returned to her usual self.

  "It's actually nothing much, everyone will eventually have to face this world anyway, right?"

  Su Yifan didn't say a word, he thought that no matter if it was the weak, serious or sincere Cheng Shuiyan, they were all more lovable and attractive than the confident and proud Cheng Shuiyan.

  Su Yifan thought that if Cheng Shuiyan had the opportunity to do something, she might be able to do it better than himself. He decided to wait for the right moment to talk to her about it.

  …………

  …………

  The next day in class, Su Yifan found Li Peiran smiling suspiciously.

  "Su Yifan, the student union is going to talk to the literature club members today, you need to attend this afternoon as well."

  When it comes to the student union, Su Yifan's first thought is Yang Bingbing. He can see that Li Peiran is gloating, and immediately understands that the conversation about the student union is definitely not good for himself.

  "Got it."

  Su Yifan's indifferent attitude made Li Peiran even more ridiculous, he dryly laughed and took advantage of the fact that there were only a few people in the class to turn back and laugh.

  "I heard that some students have opinions about our literature club activities affecting their normal study, I guess they want to have a good talk with everyone."

  The president of the student union, Di Yufei, has a very good relationship with many teachers, and in this regard, it is reasonable to worry about the function of being a teacher.

  After Cheng Shui Xin arrived, Su Yi Fan quietly told her what Li Pei Ran had just said.

  Cheng Shui Xin's face changed after listening: "Is the Student Union looking for trouble with us?"

  Su Yifan said helplessly, "I think this thing might be Chen Xin's doing. It's aimed at you and also at me. Anyway, he has already lost face in front of you, so it's not impossible for him to find an opportunity to get back at you."

  Cheng Shui Xian lowered her head and opened her school bag, saying: "I knew Chen Xin's demeanor was all put on before, but I didn't think he could tear off his mask so thoroughly. But what is Di Yu Fei thinking? Is he going to stand on Chen Xin's side?"

  "I don't know either." Su Yifan scratched his head and said, "Zhai Yufei doesn't seem like the kind of person who needs to curry favor with Chen Xin, does he?"

  "Let's see." Cheng Shui Xin's face still didn't look too good. The Literature Club was her pride and joy, and no matter what, she didn't want the students to come and interfere with the club's affairs.

  In the evening self-study class, Su Yifan and Cheng Shuiyan went to the activity building side by side. Li Peiran followed behind the two, with a gloomy face staring at Su Yifan's back, looking unhappy.

  Di Yufei waited with most of the student union cadres in the student union office, and only set off when he heard that Cheng Shuiying and the members of the Literature Club had almost arrived.

  As the president of the student union, Zhai Yufei would never take the initiative to wait for others in the meeting room, this was his habit.

  The literary society itself had a lot of people, and with the student union cadres, the entire activity room was very crowded. Di Yufei calmly directed people to move some chairs, while looking around at the members of the literary society and the student union cadres who were arranging the venue.

  Su Yifan saw Yang Bingbing among the student union cadres, she didn't help, just expressionlessly lowered her head to look at the ground, as if no one wanted to pay attention to her.

  Cheng Shuixin walked over with a big smile and greeted Zhai Yufei: "Chairman Zhai, our people are all here. If there's anything you'd like to say, please go ahead."
