The Aftermath of Having Slept with the Villain

Chapter 285: Her deskmate (42)

World Eight. Her deskmate (42)

The boy's coquettishness made Xue Xue's heart soften.

"Be good, endure a little longer, we'll be able to meet soon."

She patiently coaxed her boyfriend, and ten minutes later, the agent who was assigned to Su Xiangnan by Gu Xuan's company voiced rang from the other end of the phone, and the two reluctantly hung up the call.

This time, the phone conversation between the young couple was both sweet and cloying.

Mother Xue came up at this time.

She knocked on her daughter's door and, upon receiving a response, entered with a freshly cut fruit platter.

"Surfing the internet again?"

"Yeah."

"Even though you have free time now, you still need to rest. Otherwise, your eyes and body will get tired."

"I know, don't worry, Mom. I'm about to go to sleep."

Huang Mei nodded. She was just reminding her verbally, after all, her daughter had never been the type to worry about.

"Well then, rest early." Huang Mei glanced at the screen and said, "Hey, isn't this Xiao Nan?"

Both Huang Mei and Xue Jiahui called Su Xiangnan "Xiao Nan". At first, Huang Mei even called him "Nan Nan". Later, Xue Xue saw that Su Xiangnan's face turned red when he was called that, and she was afraid that it would remind him of unpleasant childhood memories, so she asked her parents to change the way they address him.

Su Xiangnan suddenly got a modeling job, and Xue Xue had informed them in advance.

At that time, Huang Mei was very concerned about him. After all, Su Xiangnan had been working since he entered high school to raise money for his mother's treatment, and he had hardly stopped working until he graduated from high school.

Now he has to venture into the murky waters of the entertainment industry.

Xue Jiahui and Huang Mei were not very accepting of their child being a fan of celebrities. In their opinion, that place was too messy and could easily corrupt children.

However, Su Xiangnan left a good impression on Huang Mei. Xue Xue also explained the cause and effect to them, and the couple didn't think much of it. One time when Su Xiangnan called, Xue Xue happened to be watching a drama with her parents, and the four of them chatted on video call for a while.

Xue Xue had no intention of chatting with her mother. After all, Huang Mei never paid attention to these things.

However, unexpectedly, after staring at the screen for a long time, Huang Mei suddenly nodded her head in appreciation, "Xiao Nan is really handsome. No wonder my colleagues have been discussing him these past few days."

"Colleagues?"

"Yeah, we are all from the same city, so I asked if anyone knew him." Huang Mei said, and suddenly made a silent gesture to her. "Don't worry, I didn't mention that you two were classmates and shared the same table."

"I have a colleague whose daughter said she was his junior. And as soon as she said it, everyone wanted her daughter to help them get an autograph. I could see that she was annoyed. Clearly, the two kids don't even know each other, haha!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Xue asked Huang Mei, "Is Su Xiangnan very popular?" "

"Well, Mom doesn't know how popularity is defined among you young people, but my colleagues all know him, so I guess he can be considered popular?" Huang Mei playfully blinked her eyes. "After all, we are all aunties who don't chase after celebrities."

Sighing, she lamented, "It's a pity that it might not be easy to see Xiao Nan in the future. Maybe he will become a big star."

Xue Xue had told her parents that Su Xiangnan took this job for Su Lin, but she didn't tell them that it was only for a month.

"No, it won't be like that."

"Huh?"

"We will see each other often in the future." Xue Xue smiled, her long eyelashes fluttering under the light. "After all, Su Xiangnan will be going to university with me."

In the following days, unexpectedly, everything was calm and peaceful.

Su Xiangnan occupied major social media platforms with his popularity, almost every two days he would trend due to a new keyword. Of course, this was also the result of the company's operation, so there were no lack of people mocking him. However, these rumors were quickly drowned out by the praises and admiration from his fans and passersby, causing little disturbance.

Su Xiangnan indeed had great potential.

Setting aside his height and appearance, he quickly adapted to the live streaming format without receiving any relevant training. He learned how to steer the conversation towards his areas of expertise. Moreover, he was an extremely intelligent person. From his speech, it was not difficult to see that he was a young man with knowledge and not just a decorative pillow.

"Only one week left."

"Yeah."

"I might not be able to contact you in the next few days."

"It's okay, focus on finishing your final work. I'll be waiting for you at home."

"Okay." Su Xiangnan paused for a moment. "Xue Xue, I'm a little worried about my mom Please help me pay more attention to her."

Although Su Xiangnan had hired a 24-hour caregiver, as requested by him, Xue Xue would visit Su Lin in the hospital every two or three days.

The woman's condition was not good, sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious. When she was awake, if Xue Xue was there, they would have some conversations, mostly Su Lin asking about Su Xiangnan's situation, and Xue Xue would selectively answer the parts that would put her at ease.

Occasionally, Su Lin would hold her hand and say some things.

Those words made Xue Xue feel uneasy, as if she was being told to take care of things after her passing.

However, Xue Xue didn't tell Su Xiangnan about it. Firstly, she didn't want to worry him, and secondly, she could actually understand some of Su Lin's feelings.

The woman has been disappointed too many times in her life and has been carrying the heavy burden for too long. Time has worn away her once strong mind, and the mistakes she made when she was young have prevented her from living calmly. Her body, weakened by illness, has reached an unbearable point.

The only thing Su Lin was worried about was her son.

And now, Su Xiangnan has grown up and was about to study in Medical School. Without any surprises, he will be among the group of people with high income and high social status in the future. Su Lin has accompanied him to this point, and she was finally able to let go of her worries.

She even felt that if she were no longer around, Su Xiangnan would be able to live a good life without being burdened.

"This will be a painful but short process." That day, Su Lin half-closed her eyelids, holding Xue Xue's hand, and said, "I don't know what the future holds, but I hope at least you can accompany him to the end of this journey."

"As a mother, I selfishly beg you."
