Chapter 985: Love Is Sugar, Sweet to Sorrow (5)
This feeling didn’t ease with the start of the competition; instead, it became heavier, resulting in Sheng Yanxiao’s mind getting stuck at a few critical moments, and his brow furrowing deeply.
In the end, they managed to win the gold medal in the National College Student Robot Competition without any danger, but it must be said that Sheng Yanxiao’s performance this time was worse than before. If it weren’t for his teammates being strong, Q University might have lost this medal.
"Yanxiao, what’s wrong with you?"
Although they won the prize, after stepping down, Professor Ye still unceremoniously criticized him. Sheng Yanxiao’s feeling of heaviness grew deeper; he just nodded at Professor Ye and then spoke, "Professor, I’ll go make a phone call."
While on stage, he had a hunch that the heaviness in his heart didn’t come from the competition but from that person in his heart.
Su Weiyi...
Although he didn’t know why he had this feeling, Sheng Yanxiao felt he must immediately call Su Weiyi.
Meanwhile, the news that Su Weiyi signed up for the exchange program reached the Sheng Family’s ears by Monday afternoon. Given her special status, it’s tricky whether the school opens the back door for her or not. To be safe, they needed to consult Mr. Sheng’s opinion.
Mr. Sheng, of course, arrogantly said, "Does my daughter from the Sheng Family need you to use the back door to go abroad?"
The school staff immediately fell silent.
Because of their report, soon, Su Weiyi also received a call from her father.
Of course, she wouldn’t need such a back door; everything depended on strength. This was an opportunity she set for herself. If she was qualified to go, it might mean that things between her and Sheng Yanxiao would end like that. If she wasn’t qualified, perhaps she would have the courage to face the storm ahead.
People are strange creatures; when clueless, they always find some kind of mental support, always set up such flags: if this, then that; if not this, then not that.
In the end, Su Weiyi added, "Dad, please don’t tell Mom and Yanxiao about this yet. If it succeeds, I want to surprise them."
Although knowing her father’s extent of being a wife pleaser, he would certainly sell her out the moment he turned around, Su Weiyi still used Miss Tang’s name because only mentioning Sheng Yanxiao felt a little too strange.
After all, in their eyes, the relationship between the siblings wasn’t that good.
Soon, the results of the robot competition were relayed back to the school, and the school website even had their group photo holding the trophy.
Su Weiyi looked at the most dazzling young man on the screen, lost in thought, recalling the voice of Sheng Yanxiao calling her right after the competition.
He said he won, he said he missed her.
Being loved like a biological daughter by those who aren’t one’s biological parents should be a happy thing; being told "I miss you" by the boy one likes should also be a happy event.
But these two happy events happened simultaneously, happened to her, yet Su Weiyi felt an immense bitterness.
This bitterness was even a hundred times worse than when she was avoiding Sheng Yanxiao before.
Su Weiyi truly understood what is meant by getting and then losing is more hurtful than never having gotten at all.
Love is sweet, but sometimes it’s too sweet, sweet to the point of sadness.
