Chapter 195: Breaking up because Xu Heye paid in full and the developer also gave...
Because Xu Heye paid in full, the developer also provided a full house cleaning service.
When they returned from the Real Estate Bureau, the white cloth covering the furniture had been taken away, the house was cleaned spotlessly, and the window glass on the balcony was wiped clean, without a speck of dust.
Xu Heye was very satisfied and then set her sights on the cleaning team.
"Uncle Wu, could you please tell me which cleaning company the developer hired? Could you please give me their phone number so I can call them when I need cleaning done at home?"
Uncle Wu agreed immediately: "No problem, I'll contact the sales manager later and give you his contact information next time we meet."
The next time we meet will probably be when the survey report on the courtyard house comes out.
"No problem." Xu Heye was not in a hurry. The room was so clean that it would last at least a week.
After seeing off Mr. Wu Liu, Xu Heye immediately plugged in the bathroom water heater and said to Pang Qiaolian and Yushu, "To celebrate, I'm treating you two to dinner today."
"Okay." Pang Qiao agreed immediately. Then, her eyes fell on Lian Yushu and she changed her mind. "Sister, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at school. You two go eat. Sister Heye, you can treat me later."
The young couple is together, so she should not be a third wheel.
Xu Heye glanced at Lian Yushu and was acutely aware that he seemed a little quiet. Of course, Lian Yushu had never been a talkative person, but Xu Heye could still detect the subtle difference.
After thinking for a moment, she nodded. "That's fine. We'll take you back to school first. I'll treat you to a private meal later when I'm free."
"No need to send me off." Pang Qiao shook her head. "I can go back by myself." She was eighteen years old, not eight, so she could still take a bus back to school by herself.
"Okay, then call my dorm at 8:30 pm."
"Okay." Pang Qiao made an OK gesture, then walked away gracefully, leaving space for Xu Heye and Lian Yushu.
Xu Heye turned around, her eyes fell on Lian Yushu's face, she looked straight into his eyes and said in a firm voice, "You look a little strange today."
"Are you unhappy?"
"No." Lian Yushu shook his head with a firm look in his eyes.
He was not unhappy.
"Really?" Xu Heye questioned.
Lian Yushu nodded: "Really."
After a pause, he said, "I have always known that there is a huge gap between us, but I only now realize that the gap between us is bigger than I imagined."
Perhaps the gap between them has always been huge, but he had deliberately ignored it in the past.
But today all the differences were laid bare before him.
His total savings were less than 60,000 yuan, but Xu Heye was able to shell out 1.6 million yuan to buy a dilapidated courtyard house in need of renovation. She paid the full price for the fully furnished apartment, which was only 400 to 500 yuan more expensive than the rough one, without blinking an eye.
"It's not that I hate to see you do well, I just, just..." Lian Yushu used an analogy, "You can eat abalone and sea cucumber, but all I can give you are small fish and shrimp."
If she wants to be with him, Xu Heye must lower her standards to accommodate him.
Lian Yushu didn't want this to happen.
And he was also afraid that he would become unlike himself.
Lian Yushu longs to be strong, hoping to give his parents and lover a better life. But when he can only look up to his lover no matter how hard he tries, can he still be happy for her success as he does now?
Xu Heye was silent for a while, then asked, "So what do you think?"
Lian Yushu's eyes gradually turned red.
It's ridiculous. He is the one who wants to break up, and he is also the one who feels painful and reluctant.
Xu Heye took out a clean handkerchief from her backpack and wiped his eyes. "Let's go eat."
"Even if we have to break up, we should fill our stomachs first."
The two of them found a restaurant in silence and finished their dinner without any appetite. Lian Yushu sent Xu Heye to the school gate, but this time he did not send her to the dormitory.
Xu Heye waved to Lian Yushu and turned to walk towards the school. Lian Yushu looked at her back and felt even more flustered. He couldn't help but ask, "Xu Heye, when I succeed, can we still be together?"
Xu Heye did not answer.
Silence told Lian Yushu the answer. After a long time, he left Yenching University in despair.
Xu Heye turned around then. People say that the best love is to share joys and sorrows, but there are many people in the world who can share hardships but not wealth, or who can share wealth but not hardships.
However, neither of these is the most difficult. The most difficult love is when one party is rich and the other is poor.
Lian Yushu asked if they could still be together when he succeeded.
But what exactly does success mean? Who can guarantee that they will always be successful? Does success mean they won't fail?
If they fail, their "equally matched" relationship will still not last.
It would be better to stop now. Even if they can't be lovers, at least they can still be friends for many years.
Xu Heye sighed softly, then strode into the campus.
She didn't expect that her first love in her past and present life would end so quickly.
Sad, a little, but not to the point of being heartbroken.
All I can say is that we are not destined to be together.
