Chapter 25: Silent Attack

  Chapter 25: Silent Attack

  There was a program of water friends, Chen Xin showed a good demeanor, came over to ask if he wanted to send one, and drove away after being politely declined.

  After being blown by the cold wind outside, Chen Xin also calmed down. Cheng Shuiying's performance at the painting exhibition earlier was also seen by him, which made him realize that Cheng Shuiying was not the kind of girl who could be pursued by Su Yifan immediately, and Su Yifan's position in her heart was probably still about the same as before.

  Things have come to this, Chen Shao's prestige cannot be dropped, and Chen Xin definitely cannot just let it go. More importantly, Chen Xin found that Su Yifan is very different from before, and this change makes him unhappy. Su Yifan is like a mirror, letting Chen Xin see many qualities he has never had.

  He deliberately made the engine sound extremely loud, and Chen Xin drove away in his Jaguar, amidst the envious gazes of many classmates. He wanted to tell Su Yifan that at least he still had money to show off, while Su Yifan had nothing.

  Su Yifan hailed a taxi in a very dignified manner and opened the door for Cheng Shuiying, who sat in the front passenger seat. The two of them rushed to the place Su Xiaqing had told them about.

  Cheng Shui Xin didn't ask Su Yi Fan for his address at first, and when they were almost there, he was a little surprised: "There's no coffee shop here, right?"

  Su Yifan has recently been trained and his mentality is already very good. He said in a low voice, "If Qing Jie says it's there, then it should be there."

  The answer is yes, just like the private Western restaurant where we had dinner with three people last time. This club that can't even be considered a coffee shop is hidden in an old residential building. Only after going up the stairs and entering the door did it reveal another world. The interior decoration of the room is all in the style of an old library, and there are indeed many bookshelves filled with books. Cheng Shui Xin couldn't even see the text on the spines of those books at a glance, and many of them were traditional characters.

  Two people followed a short-haired girl all the way in, only to find that this store had actually connected all the houses on this floor of the building, with an incredibly large space.

  After walking through at least ten bookshelves, the two of them finally saw Su Xiaqing by the window. The wooden frames around the glass windows seemed to have been carefully decorated, with a quaint and unbroken beauty. Su Xiaqing was sitting alone on the sofa reading a book, with a cup of coffee in front of her emitting a faint warmth that rose gently, forming a picture full of quiet beauty.

  Hearing footsteps, Su Xiaoqing looked up and closed her book, smiling: "Finished looking at the painting exhibition?"

  As for Su Xiaqing, Su Yifan already knew everything and was almost used to it. He hesitated for a moment before sitting down across from Su Xiaqing, letting Cheng Shuiying sit next to Su Xiaqing.

  Su Xiao slightly opened up a bit and kept some distance from Cheng Shuiyan, but was still hugged by Cheng Shuiyan's arm to show affection.

  "After watching for three hours and serving as a free commentator, I'm parched. It's great to have coffee now. Qīng Jiě, you're my lucky goddess."

  Su Xiaqing gestured silently for the short-haired girl to bring over the menu: "What are you all drinking? Order whatever you like."

  Su Yifan ordered a plain latte, obviously not a frequent coffee drinker. On the other hand, Cheng Shui Xin took a long time to make up her mind while holding that beautifully crafted menu.

  Facing Su Xiaqing, Cheng Shuiyan became a curious baby again: "Sister Qing, how did you know this place? I've never heard that Binhai City has such a good place."

  Su Xiaqing smiled and explained: "It was also a business partner who told me that this place is a one-way internal membership system, and does not receive non-member guests."

  Cheng Shui Xin was not the kind of naive little girl who had never seen the world, so she wouldn't be amazed by the decoration style here or the rule that non-members were not allowed to enter. Instead, she really stood up and planned to go find the book to read.

  Leaving Su Yifan and Su Xiaqing face to face, Su Xiaqing picked up her coffee and watched as Cheng Shuiyan walked away to find a book, thoughtfully saying: "She's really a girl who knows how to enjoy life."

  Seeing Su Yifan's bewildered expression, Su Xiaqing explained: "Cheng Shuiying is quick to accept new things, blend in with the environment and get into a state. She's not shy or timid either. Such girls are indeed rare, it's normal that you're attracted to her."

  Su Yifan was getting anxious: "Qing Jie..."

  "Don't worry, she can't hear." Su Xiaoqing seemed to enjoy watching Su Yifan's anxious expression, and smiled as she teased him, "I'm guessing that Cheng Shuiyan will want to talk to you privately today, so I had them call you both over here."

  Saying that, Su Xiaoqing tossed a magnetic card to Su Yifan: "The membership cards here are anonymous, this one is for you. There's enough consumption points stored inside, you can come find her here to chat in the future."

  Su Yifan looked down at the membership card, the irregular metal edges and thick coating all indicated that it was not cheap, on which there was only an English word "coffee" and a number that should be the membership number.

  Su Xiaqing glanced at Cheng Shuiyun, who was still wandering in the bookshelf, and said softly: "Remember my previous mention of aggressive behavior? This kind of experience she's never had is also a form of silent aggression. This time I brought you here as a setup, when we settle the bill today, you go use your card, and from now on, you can come find her alone."

  Su Yifan had the courage, but when facing Su Xiaqing, he was still a bit hesitant: "Qing sister... is this, is this okay?"

  "Hesitation means you're interested, huh." Su Xiaoqing teased again before saying in a low voice, "Although I don't quite agree with using money to solve problems either, but you can't possibly let someone accompany you to that kind of instant coffee fast food place to chat, right?"

  Su Yifan had nothing more to say, nodded and silently put away the membership card.

  Cheng Shui-xin walked through at least four or five bookshelves very seriously and finally found a copy of Patrick Süskind's "Perfume" in traditional Chinese characters.

  Su Yifan laughed when he saw the words on the cover. Taiwanese people translated Jostein Gaarder into Xu Sijin, making many people think it was a book written by Chinese and then translated again by Chinese. Even so, many Taiwanese people still desperately ridiculed some mainland movie titles.

  Three people sipped coffee and flipped through books, the scene was momentarily pretentiously quiet. Su Xiaqing read a few more pages, closed the book, and Su Yifan only then saw that she had been flipping through a 2008 cultural slang dictionary.

  The post-work peak arrived about half an hour later, and the three people leaning against the window could see the crowded street. Su Xiaqing rubbed the book in her hand and suddenly asked Su Yifan: "Su Yifan, do you have any life ideals?"

  After finishing speaking, he turned his head and smiled at Cheng Shuiyan: "I don't even need to ask Cheng Shuiyan, she must have it."

  Cheng Shui Xian smiled slightly with pride, compared to her peers, she was considered to have ideals and could insist on being herself, this kind of problem wasn't a problem for her at all.

  Su Yifan didn't find it strange at all that Su Xiaqing would ask this kind of question, she was more concerned about her own growth than anyone else. Putting down the coffee cup and scratching his head, he said: "If we're talking about before, maybe there's still... but now, I really don't know."

  "Going to school is a process that makes people more and more confused." Cheng Shui said, "The more you learn, the more some things you knew before are denied, and then you really don't know what to do."

  Cheng Shui Xin is making excuses for Su Yi Fan. At this age, boys are either from special family circumstances or have a very small number of early mature personalities, the rest are all about eating, drinking and having fun. Even if it's Cheng Shui Xin who has a well-established self in her heart, she would also be willing to indulge in the pleasure of life for a while longer.

  Su Xiaqing slowly stirred the spoon in her cup and softly murmured, "Sometimes people can't tell apart their ideals and desires. Of course, many times these two things aren't that different after all. Let's put it another way, what kind of person do you want to be?"

  "This time Su Yifan didn't hesitate: 'Be a good person.'"

  Su Xiaoqing smiled happily: "Being a good person is the hardest."

  "It doesn't matter." Su Yifan knew that Su Xiaqing was actually asking about his feelings towards Chen Xin's sharp words today, so he answered very seriously, "As long as I'm a good person in my own heart, it's enough. Whether others acknowledge me or not, how they look at me, that's their business."

  Cheng Shui Xin added, actively participating in the discussion: "Actually, I think Su Yi Fan's idea is very good. Just like many people have said before: as long as I am willing to be a good person with integrity and honesty, not betraying my own heart this lifetime, then there will be one more good person in this world, which means that I have changed the world with myself."

  "That's well said." Su Xiaoqing smiled at Su Yifan, "So, is fellow student Su Yifan willing to be a world-changer?"

  Facing two beauties, Su Yifan frankly said with a hint of embarrassment and lowered his head: "If there's an opportunity, who wouldn't want to change the world?"

  Because of Cheng Shuiyan's presence, the discussion wouldn't go too far. The three people followed Su Xiaqing to have seafood, and after dinner, Su Xiaqing sent Cheng Shuiyan home as usual.

  Today, Su Xiaqing seemed to have expected that Cheng Shuiying would come together and took out the black BMW. Cheng Shuiying still sweetly thanked Su Xiaqing and bid farewell with Su Yifan, no longer showing surprise at everything Su Xiaqing had shown her.

  Su Xiaqing watched as Cheng Shui's figure disappeared into the villa area, and couldn't help but feel a little moved: "She's really impressive, no wonder you young men are all infatuated with her."

  Su Yifan couldn't grasp the key point: "I don't feel anything."

  Su Xiaqing patted the young man on the back: "Look at her today, she's not pretending to be a little girl in front of me anymore. Cheng Shuijin is a girl who knows how to find her own position and constantly strengthen her impression in other people's eyes. A little girl like her should really go into politics or develop herself in the entertainment industry. Of course, if she continues on her current path with literature, she also has a bright future."

  It was just a momentary feeling. Su Xiaoqing turned her head and pulled Su Yifan to the secret base, and called Oola and Beiqi over with the phone.

  "I came to find you today just for this matter." Su Xiaoqing's serious expression made the air in the entire room feel heavy, "You insist on facing these things by yourself, so your training must be strengthened. At least let you protect yourself well."

  Su Yifan once again saw Oola and still very respectfully gave a big bow. If it weren't for Oola's guidance yesterday noon, he would probably have been beaten up badly by those few people.

  Oola and Beich's professionalism was much higher than Su Yifan had imagined, Beich just came to watch the excitement, Oola pinched Su Yifan all over. With people watching from the side, Su Yifan's face turned red with shame.

  "It's nothing, just a flesh wound." Oola's conclusion was in agreement with the doctors. "What does Miss Soo want me to do?"

  Su Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment and asked: "Is this intensity harmful to his body now?"

  "No." Oola stared at Su Yifan, who looked uncomfortable in various ways. "He's in great shape now, especially mentally."

  Su Yifan had to admit that Oula was right, in fact he also wanted to take the initiative to contact Oula today.

  When you need a book, you regret having too few. It turns out that fighting is also something you have to be prepared for!
