Chapter 11 Diana Wennian... She... Slapped... Xu Zhijian...

Wen Nian truly realized how serious the extent of exaggeration on the Internet was.

This post simply portrays him as a tragic figure who committed suicide.

There are endless opinions in the comment section:

Some suspected that he suffered from depression, some said that he was forced by his father, some said that he was bored and challenged his limits, and some even said that... it was because of a broken heart.

After the colleagues finished their discussion, Jiang Tan advised, "Regardless of the reason, as colleagues, we should all try to pay more attention to him in the future."

"I just didn't expect that the accident he mentioned last night was actually this."

Meeting her gaze, Wen Nian pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "Yes."

She really didn't expect it.

Jiang Keling sighed, "It's still hard to believe that Xu Zhijian could commit suicide. He doesn't look like he's had enough of life."

Zhuang Shi responded: "Well, things on the Internet are mixed, true and false, and you can't trust them all. Maybe there are some inside stories."

Jiang Tan nodded, and seeing Qingqing who was absent-minded, he called her.

Qingqing was startled: "Ah, what's wrong! What's wrong!"

Jiang Tan couldn't help but laugh and said, "What bad things have you done? You're so nervous."

Qingqing's heartbeat was a little abnormal, and she waved her hands: "No...it's okay, I just didn't sleep well last night."

"Is that so? Then you'll have to endure today."

"Ha ha……"

When the working time is up, everyone returns to their workstations.

After a while, Qingqing couldn't help but steal a glance at Wen Nian who was right in front of her.

Wen Nian, who was also dizzy from sleepiness, didn't focus on his work and keenly noticed a pair of eyes appearing above the computer.

She was looking back, and as soon as her gaze met that person's, the other person immediately dodged in panic.

?

What's the meaning?

He stared at her for a while, but got no response, so he simply lowered his head and continued working.

Qingqing felt like her brain was about to explode. She couldn't help but think about the scene she saw at the company gate yesterday evening.

Wen Nian...she...slapped Xu Zhijian.

Slapped...Xu! Zhi! Jane!

It's okay.

And he jumped into the river that night!

Oh my god! The CPU is going to explode!!!

Could someone please come and save her and tell her what their relationship is?

She was stressed out the whole night last night, but she had to keep this matter to herself. It was so torturous.

Ahhhhhhhh!

Xu Zhijian didn't show up all day today.

Before leaving get off work, Wen Nian accidentally kicked the flowers under the table, looked down, and was stunned.

It was a bouquet of pink Diana roses—

It was her favorite flower. It was also... the flower he gave her on the day he and Xu Zhijian officially confirmed their relationship.

Wen Nian has loved flowers since she was a child. Unfortunately, she has never owned a bouquet of her own. She still remembers that it was the first time she received flowers and she was so moved that she cried.

He even laughed at me for it.

"What's wrong? Don't cry if you think it's too heavy. I'll buy a smaller one next time."

It was evening that day, the weather was fine, people were coming and going on the beach, and the sunset glow and sea breeze merged in the distant clouds.

The boy's voice suddenly sounded above my head, swirling in the humid air, becoming clearer and clearer.

She stood on the beach with her head lowered, secretly seeing and allowing the hem of her light-colored skirt to gently entangle his trouser legs.

My heartbeat echoed in my ears, and all the emotions that arose at that moment, including joy, throbbing, and the trance of a dream coming true, seemed to have traveled through time and space and arrived at this moment with my consciousness.

Memories faded, consciousness gradually returned, and Wen Nian's dull gaze on the flower bud slowly became clear.

After a long time, a soft sigh filled the air. While no one was around, she took out the bouquet and brought it downstairs.

She came to the trash can, stood there for two minutes, and finally threw it in, along with the crystal necklace.

Because he was still drunk before going to bed last night, and because he was lectured by the firefighters for most of the day, Xu Zhijian slept until three in the afternoon.

I was able to wake up thanks to the ringing of my cell phone.

He answered the call dazedly and heard Xu Quan's angry and laughing voice: "No, Xu Zhijian, you really went to jump into the river? Alright, really, you're brave. I shouldn't have called you son, I should have called you brother."

The tone of the last two words was deliberately raised.

"Brother, do you know what's going on outside right now?"

"I, the dignified Chairman of Shanhai, have driven my son to the point where he doesn't want to live anymore. 'Is it an inherent tendency towards violence or the extinction of humanity?' Oh my god, I'm the one who drove you to this point. Now that you're in trouble, you're all blaming me. Are you satisfied? Are you happy?"

Xu Zhijian turned over, too lazy to respond to his sarcasm.

"Stop talking!" Qing Shuyi interrupted him, her tone unusually anxious. "Hey, what's going on, Jian? Don't be impulsive! If you encounter any problems, tell me and I'll definitely help you solve them!"

Although Xu Zhijian knew nothing about what happened on the Internet, after hearing what they said, he had a rough guess.

He knew this incident would trigger another round of online violence. He just didn't expect that the person being cyberbullied would be his father.

I couldn't help but laugh twice: "Don't worry, Mom, I just fell in accidentally, and I just did some safety education with the fire department."

Qing Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

She said that Zhijian didn't seem like the type to do such a thing.

"Good? What a bullshit..." Xu Quan was in tears.

He is not good at all.

Now when he goes out, all he gets on the road is a constant stream of cold stares.

Xu Zhijian consoled him earnestly, "Dad, you should think of it this way. Your popularity can help ordinary people realize the seriousness of suicide and reduce the mortality rate. What a great deed! So what if you get scolded a few times? You get scolded all the time anyway."

"I believe that people will remember you, even if it is in this less glorious way."

Xu Quan: "Get out! Get out!"

After all, it was really miserable, so Xu Zhijian considerately stopped arguing with him.

After being scolded a few more times, the phone was hung up.

He sat on the bed and started browsing his phone, and couldn't help but feel gloating again.

The video comes from the official and is spreading rapidly on major platforms. Now even if Lao Xu wants to block it, he can't.

Suddenly, the bedroom door was slowly pushed open, revealing a round head.

Xu Zhijian: "Dogs, don't come into my house."

Xu Xiaoyu paused in her movement to pull at the door.

She knew that they were blaming her for telling her parents. After all, they were very busy and they might not have discovered it so quickly if no one had told them.

She smiled guiltily, squatted beside his bed, and changed the subject: "Brother, heartbreak is no big deal. Love is only a small part of life. Why torture each other? It's better to let go of your obsession as soon as possible, turn over a new leaf, and start a new life!"

"If you really want to fall in love, how about I introduce you to my classmate's sister?"

Tsk, is this even human language?

Xu Zhijian frowned and said, "Go away, you little brat, you don't know anything. Go play somewhere else."

Suddenly he thought of something and said, "Oh, yes, I won't live at home anymore. You'd better behave yourself and listen to your aunt."

Xu Xiaoyu was shocked: "Are you going to run away from home? No, brother, what will I do if you leave? Am I going to have to bear Dad's anger alone in the future?"

She tugged at his clothes, revealing a pair of watery, pleading eyes, but was ruthlessly pushed away: "I'll teach you a secret, just pretend you've never been back."

"Woo woo woo."

"There's no use crying, get out."

Before going home, Wen Nian went to the supermarket first.

When I was taking toilet paper from the shelf, I accidentally pulled a large package behind it.

In fact, being hit from such a height was nothing. She tried to block it with her hand, but she didn't expect to be hit by a big palm first.

"careful!"

The moment the light above his head was blocked, Wen Nian raised his eyes.

There was a strange man standing next to her, dressed elegantly. The most eye-catching thing about him was his shiny curly hair and a bunch of fancy accessories.

How should I put it, he exudes the aura of a scumbag.

She instinctively resisted and took two steps back: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The man put the paper back in its place, looked her over carefully, and said gently, "Miss, please be careful when you go out shopping by yourself. Luckily, it's just a pack of paper. If it was a heavy pot or bowl, it would be terrible."

Wen Nian nodded and smiled along.

"I see. Thank you very much. If nothing else, I'll leave first." She just turned around when she was called.

"Hey, I think we're destined to be together, little sister. How about adding WeChat? Let's be friends."

It was a bit sudden, and Wen Nian hesitated for two seconds: "Ah... OK."

After all, I helped her, so it’s hard to refuse.

She thought that was the end of it, but she met this man again when she was paying. When she was scanning the code for the last time, he scanned it for her first.

Wen Nian was dumbfounded, with a big question mark above his head: "What are you doing?"

The other person raised his thick black eyebrows, and his voice was full of magnetism that made people tap their toes: "My friend, it's your treat, you're welcome."

He left these brief words, then smiled with his lips curved, and walked away with his chin held high.

Looking at his pretending to be relaxed back, Wen Nian shrank her eyes, and three words suddenly popped up in her mind: So pretentious.

Even more pretentious than Xu Zhijian.

When Wen Nian returned, he saw that the corridor was full of debris, and it looked like the neighbors were moving.

Even her door was half blocked.

Although I was a little unhappy, fortunately it didn't affect my entry, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

In the evening, after practicing yoga, Wen Nian took a nice bath. She felt relaxed and ready to catch up on the new drama.

Tomorrow is Saturday, so there is no need to get up early.

Holding the snacks I just bought, mixing a glass of ice drink, and having a doll as company, life without pressure is so happy.

It's just that it's almost alive.

Suddenly, Wen Nian had the idea of ​​raising a cat.

I quickly decided to buy one in a few days.

As soon as she turned on the TV, the strange man she added during the day suddenly sent her a message.

On the chat interface, at the top was the money she transferred to him.

The other party didn't accept it and just skipped over it and said: [Good evening, little sister (heart).]

At the beginning of the TV series, Wen Nian was very annoyed and replied patiently: [Please take the money.]

If she didn't dislike owing people money, she would have blocked this beauty long ago.

[It's just a small amount of money, don't worry about it. What's your name? (Smiley face)]

Wen Nian: [Sorry, I can't tell you. My husband and children will be unhappy.]

As expected, the other party remained silent.

Haha, man.

She threw her phone aside and focused on watching the drama.

Fortunately, I don’t feel sleepy tonight, otherwise Wen Nian would definitely go out and curse - the neighbors have been making trouble all night.

To her surprise, when she went out in the morning, not only was the outside clean and tidy, but there was also a new doll pendant hanging on the door next door, and some unpacked furniture was placed at the door.

Did they move in a new person overnight?

No wonder it took so long.

Without thinking much, she walked into the elevator with her bag.

—

Inside the villa.

Xu Zhijian sat on the sofa, ignoring the hundreds of comments in the group criticizing him for jumping into the river, and made a small talk: [What do you think, how can a person get his ex-girlfriend to change her mind?]

Chang Jun was speechless: [Wen Nian is Wen Nian, and she's also her ex-girlfriend, as if everyone knows her. (rolling eyes)]

【Who told you this person is me???】

[Okay, okay, okay, if it's not you, then I wish this person failure.]

【Get lost, how vicious.】

[Tsk.] How could he not know what he was thinking? Chang Jun said bluntly: [If it were me, you should just go after her again with all the fanfare. We're in the same company, what a great opportunity! And with the encouragement of colleagues, sometimes that encouragement...]

Xu Zhijian thought for a moment and said, "That won't do. Executing him in public, I don't have any dignity left, do I?"

Emoji: Arrogant.

[Then you should just stay single... Hey, Ping Weichen, why did you change your profile picture again? Did you break up again?]

Ping Weichen: [Found a new target (show off).]

Chang Jun: [Hehe, please get out of our group chat, you scumbag! ]

[You know nothing, this is called carpe diem.]

Suddenly someone tagged Xu Zhijian: "I'm a little curious, how did you fall in love with Wen Nian? Didn't you always say that dating is boring?"

Xu Zhijian was stunned.

This was the first time someone asked him this question.

...He had indeed not been interested in love since he was a child. He felt that it was troublesome to be wholeheartedly good to one person, and he really didn't expect that he would fall in love with Wen Nian later.

If you ask him when he fell in love with Wen Nian, he didn't know, but if you ask him when he developed a good impression of her, he was sure.

At that time, he had just entered college and initially did not have a deep impression of her in the club.

The only contact was a bump at the classroom door.

Wen Nian is very beautiful, with a small face and big eyes, and she is pleasing to the eye in every way. But after all, he has seen too many beautiful people, so falling in love at first sight will never happen to him.

At that time, I just thought: Oh, it’s a woman.

There is nothing else besides this.

Later, it was an afternoon.

After playing ball that day, he walked slowly on the gravel path, just as if it were a stroll, with soothing music playing in his headphones.

For some reason, I suddenly took off my headphones.

The music didn't disappear, but continued right on.

He was in a trance for a moment and even touched his ears, wondering if something was wrong. Only later did he realize that someone was singing.

The surroundings were very quiet. Apart from the cicadas chirping day and night overhead, the only sound was the sweet and pleasant female voice.

The sound came from behind the bushes.

He went forward for some unknown reason and took a peek. Through the branches, he saw a girl squatting on the ground, drawing something on the ground with a branch and singing as she swayed.

Looking at the thin figure, three words emerged in his mind - elf.

He stood in the dark and listened to her sing the whole song.

After I left, I realized that I was crazy for doing such a perverted thing.

Later, a quick glance beside the stage on the playground allowed him to see the elf's face clearly, and it was deeply engraved in his mind.

I vaguely remember that amid the fragmented music and drum beats, the girl was emitting a dazzling light all over her body, and the white gauze skirt seemed to be favored by the moonlight, lively and sacred.

For the first time, Xu Zhijian felt his heartbeat quicken for no apparent reason.

It was strange yet wonderful, like opening the door to a new world, but unfortunately it was fleeting.

He became uncontrollably addicted to this feeling, and one day in the future he was surprised to find that he could only experience it from her.

As if destined, the boy suddenly realized something.

His heartbeat told him that he liked her.

He had never told anyone, including Wen Nian, that he had fallen in love with her first.

In her opinion, he was someone she had finally caught up with. Little did she know that he had deliberately kept some thoughts in mind for every confession she made.

Although it has been a long time, I still can't help laughing every time I think about it.

That feeling is more refreshing than drinking a glass of ice wine on a sunny day, and it penetrates your heart and bones.

As for now, even though he was ruthlessly abandoned by her, Xu Zhijian still likes her.

He never doubted this.

Because his heartbeat never changed when he faced her.

Sometimes he felt that he was spineless, but it didn't matter. After all, this wasn't the first time he had been spineless in front of Wen Nian.
