Chapter 47: The Truth
Qin Xiaotian has been restless for the past two days, although she has repeatedly told herself: Don't think so much first, it is more important to do papers, but she is still often distracted when reading materials or writing papers. During the day, because I have to work, or with my classmates, I can distract myself from thinking about Yuan Dutian, but when it comes to sleep, I will think about all kinds of possibilities and scenarios thousands of times in my mind, tossing and turning, and it is difficult to sleep.
Qin Xiaotian hates unresolved matters the most, the state of not knowing the outcome is the most worrying, in the past two days, she has pretended to be nothing in front of Yuan Dutian, everything is as usual, but her heart has already been tumbling like boiling water, she is just pretending to be calm, and she doesn't want to burden Yuan Dutian. When she returned to the dormitory that night, she couldn't help but tell Tian Li everything about meeting Ren Jingya, Tian Li was shocked, and her first reaction was: "They deliberately waited downstairs in the law school, right?" The second reaction was to ask Qin Xiaotian: "Is she beautiful?" β
"It's beautiful, she looks more mature than me, and she belongs to the mature woman type." Qin Xiaotian tried hard to recall Ren Jingya's appearance, in fact, the lights were not too bright that night, and she was frightened and nervous at the time, and later recalled that Ren Jingya's appearance was a little blurry.
"Hey, what are you talking about! How good it is for his ex-girlfriend to stay in the United States, why did he come back! You don't really want to get back together with Yuan Dutian, do you? Tian Li's worries are not unreasonable, and this is exactly what Qin Xiaotian is worried about. If Ren Jingya came back this time to pursue Yuan Dutian again, is it very likely that she will lose at the hands of her ex-girlfriend? After all, they have so many good memories and many firsts, how can they forget the relationship of six or seven years, not to mention that even in the past few years of separation, Yuan Dutian also wanted to know the reason why Ren Jingya left back then. Thinking like this, Qin Xiaotian suddenly felt like a child who had robbed someone else of something and done something wrong.
Tian Li, the gossip king and big mouth, told Hu Xiaojuan about it the next day, and Hu Xiaojuan called Qin Xiaotian when she returned to the dormitory that night and vented her dissatisfaction.
"Xiaotian, what do you think? actually asked Yuan Dutian to meet with his ex-girlfriend to talk about the past, it's been so long, is the past so important? Back then, she left and left, and now she is stirring up some trouble, and she is uneasy and kind at first glance. Don't fall for other people's schemes. Hu Xiaojuan angrily reminded Qin Xiaotian.
"But I really don't think this meeting was arranged, Ren Jingya actually came back during the Spring Festival, but they have never been in touch."
"Hey, Qin Xiaotian, what the hell are you asking me to say about you? Yuan Dutian said that if he hasn't been contacted, he must have not been contacted? They may not have met, it may be that their ex-girlfriend has contacted them, but Yuan Dutian did not reply, so there is such a show. Even if they really haven't been in touch, you asked Yuan Dutian to figure out the reason why she left at that time, what if that reason was like life and death in the TV series? Didn't you push Yuan Dutian into someone else's arms? Hu Xiaojuan really couldn't wait to fly in front of Qin Xiaotian immediately and knock on her elm head.
"I don't know, I just feel that some things are better to spread out than to keep them in my heart, and maybe I can open his heart knot, really let go of that past, and then be with me without any guilt." For the sake of Yuan Dutian, Qin Xiaotian also wanted to know the whole story of Ren Jingya's departure.
"You think it's simple, but I hope it's as you think!" Hu Xiaojuan was helpless, although she hated iron in her heart, but now she could only pray as Qin Xiaotian wished.
"Xiaojuan, you've been doing well lately, aren't you?" Qin Xiaotian changed the subject.
"Me? I'm fine, the most painful period has passed, and now I'm slowly getting better. I'm now working with the program team as an assistant. Hu Xiaojuan's tone sounded more relaxed.
"That's good. By the way, how is your thesis preparation? Can I participate in the May defense? β
"I've been in contact with my mentor all this time, and she's given me a lot of advice, and I'm working on the framework, so I can only try to catch up."
"Then you must be busy, and it's an internship and a thesis." Qin Xiaotian suddenly felt that he had no reason not to work hard, such beautiful girls were working hard alone.
"yes, it's really going to die, I can only sleep three or four hours a day during this time. I work during the day and come back at night to look up materials and prepare papers. Although Hu Xiaojuan is hard, I can feel that she is still satisfied with her current life.
"By the way, do you have a new boyfriend?" Qin Xiaotian asked the question she wanted to know the most.
"Eldest sister, I'm as busy as a spinning top every day, I can't stop, how can I have time to find a boyfriend? Even if someone wants to chase me, I can't see me, how can I develop! Hu Xiaojuan shouted on the other end of the phone.
Qin Xiaotian took the phone away from his ear, afraid that his ear would be broken. "So there's still a man chasing you?"
"Of course, I'm always chased! But I didn't look at the right eye, and I was really too busy to pay attention to the men around me! Qin Xiaotian liked Hu Xiaojuan's innate self-confidence, but he didn't expect Hu Xiaojuan to have time to fall in love.
"Qin Xiaotian, don't interrupt, you give me a starting spirit, no matter what, my momentum is there, if Yuan Dutian dares to treat you badly because of his ex-girlfriend, you wait, Tian Li and I will definitely not spare him!" Hu Xiaojuan looks like a big sister, as if she is going to find someone desperately now.
"Thank you, Xiaojuan. It's good to have you! Qin Xiaotian was full of gratitude in her heart, how lucky she was that the roommates she met were all so friendly, and even became good friends.
At half past six o'clock on Thursday evening, the large staircase conference room in the school's Shaw Building was crowded, worthy of Professor Su, and the lecture at 7 o'clock was already full half an hour in advance, and there were still many people crowded in the open space and door of the conference room. Professor Su also brought several teachers and students from Peking University Law School to come over for exchanges.
"Twilight, I'll go sit in the back." After Qin Xiaotian saw that Yuan Dutian was busy at the front podium, she expected him to be very busy, and she planned to say hello to her and go to Tian Li.
"You're here!" Yuan Dutian glanced at his watch, and it was not yet half past six.
"Sorry, I'm too busy today, have you taken a seat? If not, I'll have someone find one for you. Yuan Dutian patted the ash on his hands, he was just playing with the projection.
"Yes, you don't have to worry about me, I'll sit with Tian Li and Chen Shaoyu." Qin Xiaotian hurriedly pointed to the back.
"Oh, that's good, the lecture is over in a while, I have to send Professor Su back to the expert building, you wait for me." Yuan Dutian took the water handed to him by Qin Xiaotian and took a sip. "Thank you!"
"Then I'll go over to find Tian Li and them first." Qin Xiaotian looked around, ready to find Tian Li and Chen Shaoyu.
"Ren Jingya?" Qin Xiaotian saw that Ren Jingya's name plate was in the first row, and looked at Yuan Dutian in disbelief.
Yuan Dutian glanced at the name tags in the first row and explained: "Oh, that's the case, I only found out in the afternoon, and the dean asked us to make the name tags temporarily." Ren Jingya was invited by our dean, because she is very famous in the law firm where she works in the United States, and she has a certain reputation in the legal field, she has rich experience in handling cases in civil litigation, and she graduated from Peking University Law School, and she is also a student of Professor Su, so our dean invited her. β
"That's it!" Qin Xiaotian looked thoughtfully at the empty seat.
"Don't think about it, it's rare for Professor Su to come here, you can listen to his lecture well." Yuan Dutian patted Qin Xiaotian's cheek affectionately.
"Well, then I'll go over first, you can get busy!" Qin Xiaotian smiled.
Seeing Tian Li waving to him, Qin Xiaotian walked over and sat next to her, and then greeted Chen Shaoyu politely.
"Lily, do you know that Ren Jingya was placed in the first row." Qin Xiaotian was not jealous of Ren Jingya sitting in the first row, but the tone of his voice was like jealousy.
"Huh? Why? Tian Li exclaimed.
"Oh, this wasn't arranged by Yuan Dutian, it seems that because their dean and Ren Jingya know each other, I think they should be quite familiar." Qin Xiaotian took out his notebook.
"Xiaotian, look, is that the one?" Tian Li saw a woman wearing a silver-gray striped suit with medium-length curly hair walking towards the first row.
Qin Xiaotian followed Tian Li's gaze and saw that Ren Jingya was bent over and about to sit down, and nodded to the people on the left and right.
"Yes, that's her." Qin Xiaotian's gaze was fixed on Ren Jingya, unable to leave.
Tian Li also stared at Ren Jingya from behind. Qin Xiaotian saw Luo Qingtian in the middle aisle of the ladder conference room at this time, it was estimated that he came with Ren Jingya, but his attention just now was on Ren Jingya, so he didn't notice Luo Qingtian. Luo Qingtian walked straight to the back seat and found a corner to sit down.
The theme of Professor Su's speech today is "Legal Disputes and Case Analysis of Finance and Economy in the Internet Era", starting with the recent cases of Internet financial fraud, analyzing the legal problems and blind spots that may arise in the early stage of the Internet. Although the two of them sat in the first row, they were a little far apart, and according to her observation, the two did not have any conversation, but this did not mean that they did not see each other, the key was what would happen after the lecture, she was more worried than expected, and the whole person fell into an inexplicable anxiety and could not concentrate on listening to the lecture.
"Okay, now is the Q&A session, where you can ask questions about today's lecture or any questions you have in law and examples. However, because Professor Su is short of time today, he is limited to 8 questions. As soon as Yuan Dutian's words fell, the hula below raised a piece. Chen Shaoyu also raised his hand. Qin Xiaotian didn't care who asked what questions at all, her eyes just moved with Yuan Dutian shuttling between the students, and Yuan Dutian was busy handing the microphone to the students who asked questions by name. Hearing Yuan Dutian announce that tonight's lecture was over, thunderous applause rang out in the conference room. Qin Xiaotian also clapped his hands mechanically.
The crowd withdrew from the venue one after another, Yuan Dutian was helping Professor Su pack up his laptop, and the teachers and guests sitting in the first row were preparing to take a group photo on the podium.
"Xiaotian, aren't you going back to the dormitory?" Tian Li saw that Qin Xiaotian had been sitting still, her eyes staring directly at the podium in front of her.
"Oh, you and Shaoyu go first, I want to wait for the twilight." Qin Xiaotian looked up, Tian Li and Chen Shaoyu had already put away their things and stood up.
"Xiaotian, do you want me to accompany you? Can you wait for the next person? Tian Li looked at her worriedly.
"It's okay, really, you and Shaoyu will go back first!" Qin Xiaotian was very persistent.
Tian Li sighed and shook her head helplessly: "Okay, if you have something to do later, you must call me, and you are not allowed to hide alone." β
"Got it!" Qin Xiaotian smiled forcefully, his mind heavy.
After the group photo, Professor Su and the others gathered together in twos and threes, Yuan Dutian glanced at the venue that was basically empty, Qin Xiaotian was very conspicuous sitting alone in the back, he glanced at her apologetically, and then beckoned to her and let her pass.
Qin Xiaotian understood, but she shook her head.
Yuan Dutian still summoned her, Qin Xiaotian pointed to himself, meaning: Are you sure you want me to come over? Yuan Dutian nodded.
Qin Xiaotian had no choice but to walk to the podium in the middle, she was very worried, she saw Ren Jingya talking and laughing with other teachers, those teachers should be from Peking University, because she had never seen these people. She approached the group of people and heard Yuan Dutian whisper to Professor Su, "Teacher, I'm sorry, I'll introduce someone to you." β
Professor Su looked at Yuan Dutian with interest, and he wanted to know who Yuan Dutian would take the initiative to introduce to him.
Yuan Dutian walked up to Qin Xiaotian and led her to Professor Su, and the others all stopped talking for a while and looked at Yuan Dutian and Qin Xiaotian.
"Teacher, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend - Qin Xiaotian." Yuan Dutian introduced it very politely.
Qin Xiaotian bowed his head slightly to show his respect, and greeted respectfully: "Hello Professor Su!" I'm Qin Xiaotian, and it's an honor to meet you. Then Qin Xiaotian stretched out his right hand and took the initiative to shake Professor Su's hand.
Everything was as usual, and the people next to him continued to chat, except, except for Ren Jingya. Ren Jingya saw Yuan Dutian publicly introduce her girlfriend, politely terminated the chat, and looked at Yuan Dutian and Qin Xiaotian.
Professor Su deserves to be a big man who has read countless people and dealt with countless disputes, although he was surprised in his heart, his face did not change, and he was as warm as spring, he glanced at Qin Xiaotian with great satisfaction, and said to Qin Xiaotian while looking at Yuan Dutian: "My proud protΓ©gΓ© finally has a home, I am really happy for you, remember to inform me before the happy event." After speaking, Professor Su couldn't help but glance at Ren Jingya next to him.
"By the way, classmate Xiao Qin, Yuan Dutian is an axial character, when he used to study, he must figure out what problems there are, sometimes it will be overwhelming, you have to be more forbearing." Professor Su exposed Yuan's shortcomings, which made him laugh.
"Teacher...... Do you think I was annoying you too much? Yuan Dutian also smiled.
"A few times, huh! Hahahaha! Professor Su was very happy.
Qin Xiaotian was laughing on the side, but he was thinking in his heart: Professor Su, are you insinuating?
Ren Jingya walked over and shouted, "Professor! β
Professor Su's gaze passed through Qin Xiaotian and looked at Ren Jingya behind her. "Oh, Aya! Long time no see. Then he stretched out his hand and shook Ren Jingya.
Qin Xiaotian unconsciously moved out of the way and let Ren Jingya stand over.
"I heard that you are good now, you are doing a good job in the United States Skadden Office, why are you willing to come back?" Professor Su originally knew more information about Ren Jingya than Yuan Dutian, or in fact, Yuan Dutian also knew, but he didn't say it.
"Thank you, teacher, I will probably shift my focus to China when I come back this time, and Skadden is ready to do business in the Asia-Pacific region." Ren Jingya's voice was soft and professional-sounding.
"That's good, China has developed very well in recent years, and it is very much in need of legal talents in the field of international trade and anti-monopoly, so that it is easy to fight international lawsuits!" Professor Su also likes to joke.
"I wish there were fewer of them." Ren Jingya said with a smile.
"Teacher, it's almost time, do you want to go back to the hotel to rest?" Yuan Dutian had been looking at Ren Jingya just now, and there was an unpredictable haze in his eyes.
Professor Su glanced at his watch, then thoughtfully at Ren Jingya and Yuan Dutian, and finally fell on Qin Xiaotian's body. He immediately said, "Well, I'm going back, and I'll have a meeting tomorrow morning." β
"Then we'll send you back to rest." Yuan Dutian was still holding Qin Xiaotian's hand, and he could feel Qin Xiaotian's hand sweating slightly.
"Let's go!" Professor Su raised his hand and turned to get the computer bag on the podium.
"I'll get it for you!" Yuan Dutian picked up his computer bag and followed Professor Su. Yuan Dutian gave Qin Xiaotian a look, Qin Xiaotian followed Yuan Dutian, and of course, Ren Jingya followed.
Qin Xiaotian saw Luo Qingtian at the door, but Luo Qingtian didn't follow. Along the way, Qin Xiaotian felt like a fool. She didn't understand what Yuan Dutian was talking about with Professor Su at all, and she didn't have the heart to digest it, because Ren Jingya quickly melted into their conversation, and she only paid attention to Ren Jingya and Yuan Dutian.
Sent Professor Su to the lobby of the hotel, and after greetings, the three of them walked out of the hotel.
Yuan Dutian stood outside the door and hesitated for a long time, thinking about how to speak, Qin Xiaotian pulled the corner of his clothes on the side, reminding him to talk to Ren Jingya.
"That, that, Jingya, can we find a place to talk?" Yuan Dutian stopped Ren Jingya.
"Talk? What do you want to talk about? Ren Jingya stood still and did not move.
"You should know what I want to talk about." Yuan Dutian's tone was cold.
Ren Jingya glanced at Qin Xiaotian next to Yuan Dutian, her tone was cold, revealing a hint of provocation, and responded, "Okay." β
"It's a little late now, and I guess the nearby cafΓ© is about to close, why don't we go and sit next to Ginkgo Road?" Yuan asked Ren Jingya's opinion.
"Then, let's go!" Ren Jingya hesitated for a moment and agreed, and then asked, "Is your girlfriend going with you too?" β
"Hmm!"
"Are you sure you want her to hear about it?" These words were obviously said to Yuan Dutian, but Qin Xiaotian felt that Ren Jingya was saying it to herself, and a cold light flashed from her eyes.
"Well, sheβit doesn't matter." Yuan Dutian's tone was still light, as if all the things about Ren Jingya could be light, but in Qin Xiaotian's opinion, this was clearly to hide the panic and concern in his heart. Her heart was so chaotic, and she regretted the proposal she gave to Yuan Dutian at that time.
Ren Jingya's phone rang.
"Well, sunny day, where are you?"
β¦β¦
"Okay, you can come to Ginkgo Road to find me later!" After speaking, Ren Jingya hung up the phone.
The three of them walked silently on the ginkgo road, the ginkgo tree had just sprouted, and the breath of early spring was coming, but Qin Xiaotian smelled the smell of winter.
"Let's go sit over there!" Yuan Dutian saw that there was a stone table and chair under the ginkgo tree in the right corner, which was relatively secluded.
The three of them didn't know what to say after they sat down, and the atmosphere was so awkward that it was suffocating. Qin Xiaotian broke the deadlock: "Uh...... Say whatever you want to say, just treat me like air. "After that, hehe, he laughed dryly." If you find it inconvenient, or, I'll go back first, and you can talk. Qin Xiaotian really felt that she was really not suitable for this scene.
"No, you stay." Yuan Dutian is very categorical.
"Jingya, I just want to ask you face to face, back then, what was the reason why you went to the United States without saying a word. Later, you didn't reply to my email, what happened? Yuan Dutian finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart.
"I ...... I ......" Ren Jingya knew that Yuan Dutian had to ask this question, and if she could take the initiative to answer, she would have answered it a long time ago.
"If you want to know so much, I'll tell you!" Luo Qingtian came over at some point.
"Sunny ......" Ren Jingya wanted to stop her, but she wanted to stop talking, perhaps, she really should let Yuan Dutian know.
"Jingya, don't stop me, today, I must say, I've been holding back for many years, if you hadn't kept forcing me to promise you not to tell him, I would have said it a long time ago." Luo Qingtian looked at Yuan Dutian with complicated eyes, she wanted to fight for Ren Jingya.
"Kid, are you sure you want to listen to the story too? Be careful that your heart can't stand it. Luo Qingtian looked at Qin Xiaotian fiercely, with mockery and grudge.
"Luo Qingtian, please speak well." Yuan Dutian said angrily.
"Yuan Dutian, you have no right to be angry!" Luo Qingtian is out of the way, she must stand up for Ren Jingya today, and she must let Yuan Dutian figure out that he has been wrongly blaming her.
"Do you know why Jingya will come back for the Spring Festival this year?" Luo Qingtian calmed down, Ren Jingya grabbed Luo Qingtian's arm and stopped: "Qingtian! Luo Qingtian shook off Ren Jingya's hand, puffed out his cheeks and said, "No, I want to say!" β
Qin Xiaotian thought: It seems that I should turn into air, so that it will not be an eyesore when I am an audience.
"Yuan Dutian, do you know what Jingya has experienced? She came back this year to let her aunt's ashes return to her roots! Luo Qingtian's eyes flashed.
"What? What's going on? Yuan Dutian had the elegant and loving appearance of Ren Jingya's mother in her mind, and she would call Yuan Dutian from time to time to ask him how he was doing.
"Pancreatic head cancer." Luo Qingtian paused and continued: "I found out the year Jingya left, you know that Jingya's aunt's family is in the United States, so they proposed to go to the United States for treatment. β
"I can understand this, but I can tell me about my aunt's illness, and I won't disagree with her going to the United States." Yuan Dutian couldn't figure out why Ren Jingya didn't tell him how much she didn't trust her.
"Yes, she was going to tell you. But just as she was about to tell you, she received a medical check-up notice. Because the aunt fell ill suddenly, the whole family went to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination, but unexpectedly, she was found to be rectal cancerous. β
"Rectal Cancer Stage 2." Ren Jingya, who had been silent, bit her lip and paused word by word. Luo Qingtian looked at Ren Jingya with pity.
"Why didn't you tell me!" Yuan Dutian raised his voice, he couldn't understand why he didn't let him share the burden, and would rather bear it alone, shouldn't he know?
"Do you remember a few times when I said I had a stomachache and went to the school hospital for an infusion? At the time, I thought it was just gastroenteritis. Although Ren Jingya spoke eloquently, even Qin Xiaotian was moved by her resentful and unwilling to accept her fate.
"At that time, because it was so sudden, I didn't know how to speak, and our family got the U.S. visa as quickly as possible, and I just wanted to leave quickly and get my mother treatment as soon as possible. I don't know if I'm going to go and never return, because I also need to go to the United States for further testing, and I don't dare to tell you. I know that if I had said that, you would have been there for me to encourage me and accompany me, but I, I don't want to delay you, you have just been offered a job. Ren Jingya's tears fell silently, and she couldn't hear the trembling emotion, she spent a lot of effort to restrain her voice to make it calm and normal, and then the reflection of the street lamp in the distance shone on her smooth skin, stained with tears.
Qin Xiaotian's heart was a little cold, it wasn't betrayal, it wasn't empathy, it wasn't love, it was just that he left for these unspeakable reasons, doesn't such a departure count? She gently held Yuan Dutian's hand beside her, his fingertips were cold, probably the same as his current mood.
"How can you decide the affairs of two people like this, delay? Doesn't what I said count if I delay or not? The black hole in Yuan Dutian's heart opened, and he was angry, sad, and heartbroken, and complex emotions spread throughout his body.
"I didn't think of anything else, I just didn't want you to know, I was afraid that you would worry, that you would have to bear this unknown with me. Whether you call me selfish or cowardly, I wanted to hide in my shell and didn't want to have anything to do with anyone before me. Ren Jingya looked at Yuan Dutian with tears in her eyes, full of helplessness and grievances, such a woman is probably enough to move any man and break down his inner line of defense for him.
"And then?" Yuan Dutian suppressed the urge to shout and spit out these words.
"Later, we stayed at my aunt's house, while examining my mother, on the other hand was my own examination, I was fine, the diagnosis was still stage 2, I needed surgery, at that time my mother also needed surgery, I felt that life was gloomy and hopeless, my dad was tired and lost weight twice, hired a nurse, and couldn't take care of it. I was afraid that my dad would also fall, so I could only pretend to be strong, but fortunately I recovered well after the surgery, and I tried my best to endure chemotherapy, because mine was nothing compared to my mother's pain. I'm doing it every year now, and there's no problem for the time being. My mom had two surgeries in a year, followed by radiotherapy, but she didn't make it through the third year, and she was cremated there and kept in a cemetery. Ren Jingya still used as low a voice as possible, like telling a long story.
"Then those emails I wrote to you......" Yuan Dutian had hoped that one day his mailbox would pop up with the name he was familiar with.
"I saw it, read every single one, read it many times, until you stopped emailing me. Half a year after I arrived in the U.S., I sent you an email saying that I was doing well and wanted to start a new life. At that time, I had just had surgery, and I missed you so much, I read your email over and over again with tears in my eyes, and I couldn't help it, but I still wrote a letter back to you, and I really wanted to start a new life at that time. Ren Jingya finally shrugged her shoulders uncontrollably, and Luo Qingtian put her arms around Ren Jingya's shoulders and patted them gently.
"You may not know much about Jingya in the past few years, but Jingya has been inquiring about you. She knew that you were in Xiangcheng and wanted to wait for her, so she told me to let me help take care of you more. The gift I give you during Christmas and New Year every year is actually given to you by Jingya, but Jingya never let me say it, nor did she tell your original classmates what she experienced, even if there were, she also asked them to keep their mouths shut about you. Luo Qingtian patted Ren Jingya.
Yuan Dutian suddenly thought of the belts, snacks, calligraphy and paintings he received, as long as Luo Qingtian asked him out for dinner every time, he could always receive a small gift, he originally thought that this was just Luo Qingtian's expression of comfort to him and make up for his debt.
"Why? Since you've been watching me out of sight, but you've never let me see you, why? Yuan Dutian stared at Ren Jingya, too much emotion flashed in her eyes.
"I don't know if I'll be able to come back, I'm not ready, but I can't help but want to care about you. So...... Three years after the surgery, last year, the doctor said that I was less likely to relapse, and I came back with my mother's last wish. I contacted you through Luo Qingtian when I came back, but you didn't want to see me, and you already have a girlfriend. Ren Jingya paused, ignoring Yuan Dutian's eyes, and turned her eyes to Qin Xiaotian.
Qin Xiaotian felt that this gaze was like thousands of thin needles piercing her heart. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, and the air was so congealed and dull. Qin Xiaotian raised her eyes to look at Yuan Dutian, he looked at Ren Jingya so intently, as if she had a thousand words to confide, she suddenly felt that maybe, the people around her would soon not belong to her. The heart begins to break, and many times, the truth is salvation for some, and for others it is a sword, piercing the chest.
"Xiaotian? Teacher Yuan? A voice came from not far behind Qin Xiaotian.
"Chunming? Why are you here? Qin Xiaotian quickly wiped the tears from his face when he turned his head.
"I, I, came back from eating outside, walked around the campus, tried to digest it, and then I saw you here." Na Chunming felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and then asked, "What's wrong?" β
"No, nothing, I'm getting ready to go back." After speaking, Qin Xiaotian let go of the hand holding Yuan Dutian and stood up, she felt that she was the third party who stepped into other people's feelings at the moment, her mind was blank, and she had only one thought: Escape!
Ren Jingya and Luo Qingtian obviously didn't react to Qin Xiaotian's reaction.
"I'm sorry, it's too late, it's going to close in a while, I, I have to go back to the dormitory first, you, you talk slowly." Qin Xiaotian endured great grief, and after speaking, he walked to the ginkgo road outside.
"Xiaotian!" Na Chunming and Yuan Dutian called her name at the same time in the back, but Qin Xiaotian just wanted to bury his head and run back quickly, but his steps still had to pretend that he was fine, obviously he was about to walk unsteadily, but he still had to make his steps firm.
"I'll go see her!" Yuan Dutian got up and wanted to chase after him.
"Wait a minute, Twilight, I'm not done yet." Ren Jingya grabbed Yuan Dutian's wrist, Yuan Dutian wanted to break free, but at that moment he felt so powerless, the black hole in his heart was now empty, he seemed to hear the beating of drums coming from all directions of his body, the drum beat was beating rhythmlessly, full of noise and contradictions, making his mind dizzy and unable to take a step.
"I'll take a look!" Na Chunming glared at Yuan Dutian viciously, and ran to chase after Qin Xiaotian.
