The cold wind swept the fallen leaves and blew quietly past the foot of Lai Yang.
He stood there like a sculpture, holding his cell phone. After hearing what Li Dian said, it seemed to be true.
My frenzy at that time put me at a disadvantage. After I left, that little turtle was still slandering me behind my back.
In Tianjing's opinion, she was not sure whether she was a thief, but she was definitely a petty person.
"Well, let's do this for now. If you explain now, you'll miss the best time. Wait for the letter. The theater contract will expire in a few days. Well..."
While they were talking on the phone, a Porsche drove up the street. Lai Yang remembered the car and simply ended the call.
The car stopped by the roadside. Gu Qian, wearing a white down jacket and holding a small branded bag, got out of the car lightly.
When she walked in, Lai Yang found that her skin was better than before, her face was as white as milk, her almond-shaped eyes were more charming, and her graceful figure swayed, revealing a graceful temperament.
Her hair is brighter and blacker, her red lips are more charming and tempting, and her whole temperament has changed a lot.
But all this made Lai Yang feel extremely strange. He couldn't even believe that this was the person he had been in love with for many years.
Gu Qian smiled faintly, and after a brief greeting with Lai Yang, the two walked into the Real Estate Bureau side by side.
After the formalities were changed, when he walked out of the door again, Lai Yang breathed a long sigh of relief, but suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
"Laiyang, have you had lunch? Let's... have a meal together." Gu Qian wrapped herself in her down jacket and said with a faint smile.
"No, I have something else to do later."
After Lai Yang refused, Gu Qian's smile faded: "Well, let's have a drink before we go."
Looking at the woman in front of him, Lai Yang's thoughts were suddenly dragged back to his college days, the countless days and nights of companionship, and the smile she smiled just for him on the playground under the starry sky.
Lai Yang's heart was bleeding, he really wanted to leave in a carefree manner, but until this moment, he still softened his heart.
In a street cafe, Gu Qian took a sip of coffee with her petal-like red lips, leaving two pink lip marks on the rim of the cup.
Lai Yang looked at the cup in a daze.
"Are you and her okay?" Gu Qian spoke first, her voice clear and gentle.
After a little reaction, Lai Yang realized that "she" was referring to Tian Jing. The last time Gu Qian came to Shanghai, he used Tian Jing as a shield.
"It's pretty good. How about you? You should be living well with the man you have now."
, Lai Yang felt a sense of humiliation in his heart.
He suddenly wanted to end the conversation.
"Well, it's okay, it's okay..."
Gu Qian's voice was a little low, and Lai Yang noticed that she glanced out the window unconsciously.
"By the way, can you tell me why you are in such a hurry to get this house? From what I understand, you are not short of money now."
Gu Qian pursed her lips, her eyes somewhat evasive, "He doesn't want... us to have any more disputes in this regard."
The hand holding the teacup froze in the air, and Lai Yang's heart seemed to be poured with boiling oil.
He felt pity for himself and also for Gu Qian. It was obvious that in this relationship, she was just blindly submissive, so submissive to the point of being a bit "fawning".
This is a complete reversal of identities from when we were together before.
After this sentence, Lai Yang never asked anything again. He just looked at the glass window from time to time. A large cloud of fog had formed on it, dimly reflecting the figures of the two of them.
It seems like none of them has changed, but time has stolen all the tenderness that belonged to them.
After coming out of the coffee shop, Lai Yang was about to leave when Gu Qian took out a men's plush jacket from the car and handed it to him.
"The weather in Xi'an is colder than in Shanghai, so you should wear this."
Looking at this expensive new coat, Lai Yang was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that this was a newly bought piece of clothing, and the label on it had not been torn off in time.
He remembered that when the property procedures were being changed, Gu Qian deliberately left for a while, probably to buy clothes.
His heart began to ache again, Lai Yang's Adam's apple moved, and he said, "No need, just live your own life."
"Laiyang..." Gu Qian's eyes turned red in an instant.
She took a deep breath and raised her face, letting her long eyelashes flutter in the wind. After a few seconds, she looked down again: "I'm sorry, it's me... I'm sorry for you."
This simple sentence was more ferocious than the cold wind. Lai Yang felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He wanted so much to hug this woman tightly as he did before and try his best to keep her.
But after all the thoughts rolled and condensed in his stomach, Lai Yang forced out a pale smile.
"There's nothing to be sorry about. We just made different choices. As long as you are happy, that's all."
"Laiyang, you...you also have to be nice to that girl, I..."
"I will." Lai Yang interrupted Gu Qian before she finished speaking.
A complicated look flashed in her eyes, and her red lips pursed
, and didn't say another word.
…
Half an hour after parting with Gu Qian, Lai Yang had an extra 500,000 yuan in his card.
This heavy amount of money did not make him feel at ease, but instead made him feel even emptier inside.
Up to now, this matter has not been revealed to the family at all, but the two of them have separated completely.
In the afternoon, Lai Yang, feeling upset, took a taxi to Shaanxi University of Science and Technology. He had never been back since the day he graduated.
As soon as he entered the university, he seemed to step into the flow of memories. He strolled on the road leading to the playground. The birch trees on both sides made rustling sounds in the wind. Many younger schoolmates passed by him with books in their arms.
Each of them has a childish and innocent look on their face, and their laughter is so refreshing.
All of this is the appearance of youth.
After arriving at the playground, Lai Yang found a piece of grass to sit down. Although the weather was quite cold, there were still many couples snuggling together on the playground, some listening to songs together, and some laughing and playing.
There were also many students walking in groups of three or four on the circular plastic track. The girls would occasionally giggle when talking about a boy.
Happiness seems to have become very simple for them, but in Laiyang, it is such a luxury.
They sat like this for the whole afternoon. Except for Yuan Shengda and Li Dian who called to chat for a while, no one disturbed Lai Yang.
Until dusk came, he lay on the lawn looking at the sky, and fell asleep in a daze.
Lai Yang had a strange dream. He dreamed that he was going to rob a wedding. It was an American church-style wedding scene.
Yuan Shengda and Li Dian helped him stop the security personnel. Lai Yang kicked open the church door and ran madly towards the newlyweds. After pushing away the priest who was presiding over the wedding, Lai Yang grabbed the bride's hand and ran away.
After they fled the church frantically, Lai Yang lifted her white veil and was about to see the bride's beautiful face.
The bell for evening self-study class suddenly rang.
Lai Yang's eyes suddenly opened, and the night sky appeared before his eyes like black brocade, and those bright stars were like inlaid jewels, shining brightly.
The brown clouds were thin and transparent, moving in the wind.
Suddenly, Lai Yang smelled a faint scent of white magnolia.
He suddenly regained consciousness and found that he was still covered with a down jacket. He immediately stood up and looked around.
He suddenly discovered that Tian Jing's beautiful figure was sitting next to him with her knees hugged...
