Chapter 1082: Bringing Big Yellow Along
Su Bing was at a loss for words. He couldnât fathom why Jiang Nuan had gone to such lengths to say goodbye, yet hadnât left a letter for Su Li or the others.
In Su Bingâs mind, Jiang Nuan spent more time with Su Li and the others, so logically, if she had come out in the middle of the night to bid farewell, it would have been for them, not him. He simply couldnât understand the way a girlâs mind worked.
After a moment, he pushed the thought aside, watching Jiang Nuanâalways so poised and properâsqueeze herself through the small dog hole to return to her home. The contrast was almost startling, but at least now, he could ride off with peace of mind.
What he didnât know was that Jiang Nuan remained by the fence, peering through the shadows at his retreating figure. Only once his silhouette had vanished completely into the night did she whisper softly, âSu Bing, the one I wanted to say goodbye to the most was you.â
The next morning, Su Bing recounted the entire incident to Gu Zi, who was taken aback. âI didnât realize Jiang Nuan had it in herâwhat a gutsy little thing. Lucky for her you stayed up so late. That was risky.â
Su Li, overhearing the conversation, felt a tinge of regret. âIf Iâd known, I wouldâve stayed up too. Jiang Nuan definitely came to say goodbye to me. After all, Iâm her best friendâme and Gao Ming!â
Su Bing sneered. âWhy do you always have to be the center of everything?â
He didnât think for a second that Jiang Nuan had come specifically to see himâmaybe she had just wanted to say goodbye to their mom, whoâd been kind to her. After all, when Jiang Nuan was sick, it had been their mother who took care of her.
Gu Zi, however, was more concerned with another matter. âRegardless of who she came to see, Iâm just glad Jiang Nuanâs okay. By the way, we still havenât figured out what to do with Big Yellow, have we? I went to give him a bone this morning, and heâs acting strange. He wouldnât even touch it, just curled up in his doghouse and whimpered. Iâm worried he might stop eating again, like last time.â
An Yun chimed in, âDogs are loyal to their masters. Big Yellow only sees you as family. Heâs probably just upset that youâre leaving, but heâll get over it soon enough. Your father and I will take good care of him.â
An Yun was mostly worried about the logistics. Since Gu Zi and the others had already decided to take the train to the capital, there was no way they could bring a dog along. That would be chaos.
Gu Zi was also thinking about how to bring Big Yellow along without it being a hassle. She simply couldnât bear to leave him behind. She turned to Su Shen for advice. âSu Shen, what do you think we should do?â
The three kids, sensing that the adults hadnât reached a decision yet, eagerly offered their suggestions. Su Li, looking earnest, said, âMom, Dad, Big Yellowâs part of our family. We canât just leave him behind. Heâll be heartbroken!â
The other two children nodded in agreement, their gazes fixed firmly on Su Shen, hoping he would find a way to bring Big Yellow along.
Su Shen fell silent for a moment. Big Yellow had been with him since he was a pup, and he didnât want to abandon him. He didnât want to see Big Yellow go through another hunger strike.
He stepped outside and made a quick phone call. When he returned, he told everyone, âWeâll bring Big Yellow with us. I know a truck driver who makes regular trips to the capital. Heâs on his way there in a few days and has agreed to take Big Yellow for us.â
Everyone sighed with relief. Su Li immediately ran off to deliver the good news to Big Yellow. âBig Yellow, guess what? Weâre taking you to the capital with us! Eat up, okay?â
Big Yellow lifted his head sharply, his eyes brimming with tears. He gave a few excited barks and finally picked up the bone near his doghouse, chomping on it eagerly.
The night before their departure, Gu Zi received an unexpected call from Su Jing. âSo you did remember to call me, huh? I was starting to think you had already left with your teacher for the capital without a word,â Gu Zi said.
Su Jingâs voice came through sweetly, âMy dear sister-in-law, you know Iâm not like that. I just had a few things to take care of in Guangcheng. You all go ahead. Once Iâm done, Iâll catch up with you in the capital and continue my art studies. Make sure to save me a room, okay? Thanks, sis! Long live my sister-in-law!â
Before Gu Zi could respond, Su Jing hung up. Gu Zi had a feeling she knew what Su Jing was handling.
Now that Su Jing was learning from a famous mentor, her future was looking bright. Once she became well-known, the Tian family was bound to come around causing trouble. It seemed like Su Jing was trying to deal with that mess once and for all. Gu Zi couldnât help but admire Su Jingâs foresight.
On the day of their departure, the Lin family came to send them off to the train station. An Yun and Li Hua were reluctant to say goodbye and clung to Gu Zi. They chatted with her for a long while.
During this, Jin Long and Gong Xin showed up. Gong Xin rushed forward, giving Gu Zi a big bear hug and grumbling, âYou heartless woman! You were planning to just leave without a word? You horrible woman. If you leave like this, Iâll never forgive you!â
