Chapter 132 A sister who would do anything for love is better off without.
Su's father looked shocked.
The two sat on the edge of the bed, carefully comparing the various details of their dream, one after the other. The dream was so real, so unbelievably real.
Su's father tried to calm himself down, constantly telling himself that it was just a dream, and that his worries about his daughter during the day had caused him to have such a dream at night.
After all, they had always been concerned about Su Lin, so it seemed reasonable for them to have such a dream.
Su's mother chimed in, even though it sounded a bit strange that the two of them had the same dream. But they comforted themselves, saying that couples who have lived together for a long time often resemble each other, so having the same dream wasn't entirely impossible.
They simply couldn't believe that their daughter, whom they had painstakingly raised, would turn out like the girl in their dreams—a heartless ingrate who completely disregarded the family's nurturing grace and recklessly pursued so-called love, hurting her family in the process.
After being awakened by nightmares, they tried to comfort themselves, but the unease in their hearts surged like a tidal wave, making it impossible for them to fall back asleep peacefully.
They tossed and turned in bed, their minds replaying the scenes from their dream. Each image was like a sharp thorn, piercing deep into their hearts.
The morning sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains. Su Su woke up as usual and went out of her room to prepare breakfast.
When she saw Mr. and Mrs. Su, she was slightly taken aback. Their eyes were covered with dark circles, obvious signs of a sleepless night.
Filled with doubt and concern, Su Su couldn't help but ask softly, "Mom and Dad, did you not sleep well last night?"
Her voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet restaurant, as if breaking the oppressive atmosphere and temporarily pulling Mr. and Mrs. Su back from their chaotic thoughts.
Just as Su's mother was about to answer Su Su's question, Su Lin appeared at the bottom of the stairs and slowly walked down.
The smile on Su's mother's face froze slightly when she saw Su Lin, but she quickly recovered and said to Su Su casually, "It's nothing, I was just worried about your sister's hand. After breakfast, have your father take you to school."
Upon hearing this, Su Su couldn't help but get excited: "Great! Dad went to all that trouble to take us to school!"
Su Lin walked to the dining table and sat down on her own. Upon hearing her mother's arrangement, her face instantly darkened.
She raised her voice and said, "I don't want to go to school today. My hand hurts terribly, and I need to see a doctor."
Looking at Su Lin, Su's mother felt helpless and patiently explained, "I've already taken you to see a doctor. The doctor said there's nothing wrong. They even took X-rays of your bones, and everything is normal."
Su's mother pondered to herself, never having realized her daughter was so stubborn and difficult. Suddenly, the terrifying dream flashed through her mind, showing Su Lin being slashed by Zhang Jieshu and bleeding profusely. Her mood instantly became extremely heavy and terrible, and her tone unconsciously became a few degrees harsher: "You're already in your final year of high school, how can you not be at school studying at this time?"
Upon hearing this, Su Lin immediately stood up and vigorously waved her bandaged finger in front of her mother, complaining in a tearful voice, "I already told you it hurts, why do you have to force me like this?"
As she spoke, she pouted, her eyes reddening, tears welling up as if they were about to spill over, looking quite aggrieved.
Seeing that her mother was simply eating her breakfast and ignoring her cries, Su Lin could only look to her father with teary eyes, her gaze full of expectation, hoping he would say a few words of justice for her. Su Lin's appearance softened her father's heart, and he was about to speak when his gaze inadvertently swept towards her mother, only to be met with her stern and unquestionable glare. The words he was about to utter were swallowed back down.
"Just go to class. If you're still in pain after class, I'll take you for another checkup." Su's mother tried to keep her tone calm, but she was filled with resentment towards Su Lin because of the nightmare she had last night.
The thought of spending the whole day at home with her made her inexplicably irritable. She knew there was something wrong with her emotions, but she just couldn't control them and desperately needed to find a way to release them.
Su's father knew that Su's mother had always been in charge at home, and he never interfered in such matters easily, so he chose to remain silent.
"Eat your breakfast properly, or you'll easily get hungry at school in the morning. I'll take you to school in a bit," Mr. Su said softly.
While tears streamed down her face, Su Lin mechanically ate spoonful after spoonful of porridge, the porridge seemingly mixed with her grievances and dissatisfaction.
Her eyes remained fixed on Su's mother, as if trying to find a sign of leniency on her face. Su's mother, on the other hand, suppressed her inner turmoil, deliberately turning her face away from Su Lin's mournful eyes. A tense and oppressive atmosphere filled the air.
Soon, breakfast came to an end in this silent stalemate.
Before leaving, Su Su obediently said goodbye to her mother, her voice clear and loud.
However, Su Lin, standing to the side, kept a cold face and her lips tightly closed, refusing to say a word.
Even when her father gently reminded her, she seemed not to hear him, and instead walked faster and faster, showing no intention of responding.
Seeing Su Lin's stubborn appearance, Su's father felt helpless. He tried to reason with her all the way, trying to make her understand the importance of studying and the good intentions of her parents.
But Su Lin remained unmoved, absorbed in her own emotions.
As soon as the car arrived at the school, Su Lin eagerly pushed open the car door and drove away without looking back.
Seeing this, Su Su also prepared to say goodbye to her father and enter the campus.
"Susu." Su's father suddenly called out to her.
"What's wrong, Dad?" Su Su stopped and turned her head, her eyes filled with confusion.
Su's father stared intently at Su Su for several seconds, hesitating to speak, but finally just sighed helplessly and said, "It's nothing, just study hard."
In fact, whenever Su's father closed his eyes, the terrible dream involuntarily surfaced in his mind, showing Su Su being pushed down the stairs, covered in blood, in a miserable state.
He felt that his decision to make Su Su pay attention to Su Lin was not a wise one. "You, just focus on your studies from now on. We will handle your sister's matter. As a student, just focus on your studies."
"Your sister was just saying those things to you out of anger, don't take it to heart," Su's father said earnestly to Su Su.
"By the way, you're a sophomore now. Have you ever thought about living at school to get used to school life?" Mr. Su changed the subject and brought up a new topic.
"Huh?" Su Su looked at her father with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he suddenly asked that question.
"Well, Dad thought your grades have always been good. If you lived at school, you wouldn't have to waste time commuting every day. You could sleep in a little longer in the morning, which would be good for your studies," Su's father explained patiently.
"Oh, oh." Su Su nodded in sudden realization. "Does that mean you're staying at the hotel too?" she asked casually.
"She..." Su's father was taken aback by the question, and after a pause, he said somewhat speechlessly, "That depends on her own opinion. Your mother and I would also like to hear your thoughts."
"I understand, I will think about it carefully," Su Su replied earnestly.
Su's father felt he didn't need to be in such a hurry; what if the dream was the opposite of reality?
Perhaps Su Lin would never do these things.
The dream felt so real that I believed everything.
As Su's father watched Su Su's departing figure, he unconsciously sighed again.
He's going to investigate Zhang Jieshu.
At this moment, Su Su was walking towards the Grade 11 teaching building. The Grade 12 and Grade 13 teaching buildings were located in completely different places, one in the south and one in the north.
But Su Lin appeared in front of her and blocked her way.
"Su Su, we need to talk. What exactly did you do? My fingers are killing me, why can't they find anything?"
"Huh? Sis, I don't know what you're talking about. Mom said your finger exam was fine. Maybe you're just under too much pressure."
Su Su bypassed Su Lin and whispered in her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear.
