Chapter 1 Go meet him
In the dim room.
The floor-to-ceiling windows were covered by heavy curtains, not letting in a single ray of light.
"Let's break up, Jiang Jibai."
"Let's break up, Jiang Jibai!"
The man's cold and heartless face and icy voice in the dream were like knives, stabbing into her heart again and again.
Jiang Jibai woke up suddenly. She sat up from the bed, gasping for breath. She had a suffocating feeling as if someone was strangling her neck in her sleep.
In the early autumn weather, that pretty face was covered with fine beads of cold sweat, and the back was also soaked with sweat.
She checked her phone. It was three in the morning. It had been a long time since she had woken up in the middle of the night.
I haven't had such a dream in a long time.
I dreamed of the scene from five years ago again.
The two sentences he said at the time were her nightmare.
I tortured her in my dreams day and night.
It's already past 12 o'clock, and today is the day when Jinghuai University holds an alumni association.
I heard from my best friend Lin Shanshan that he will come back.
Gu Moyang.
The person who had lived in her heart for five years was finally coming back.
She thought five years would be enough to erase all her memories of him, but she was proven wrong.
This name was engraved deeper and deeper in her heart because of her obsession.
The reason why he proposed breaking up was a hurdle that Jiang Jibai could never get over.
It is a thorn in her palm and a thorn in her flesh. Time can cover up the wound on the surface, but it cannot remove the pain hidden inside.
Five years later, she wants an answer.
In order to fall asleep faster, Jiang Jibai turned on the desk lamp, took out a bottle of medicine from the drawer of the bedside table, took a few pills and then comforted himself to sleep.
But she kept tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep, her whole body curled up in the quilt.
Her mood was a little up and down because she was going to meet Gu Moyang. His appearance once again disrupted her life.
The next morning.
Jiang Jibai woke up from his dream again, with tears in the corners of his eyes.
She touched the pillow and found that most of it was wet.
I dreamed again that I had an argument with him in college.
She got up and rubbed her swollen eyes.
Today she is going to put on some beautiful makeup to attend the alumni meeting, the kind she wouldn't even wear to work. It's not that she doesn't wear makeup to work, but it's not suitable for the class.
This is probably a common problem for every girl when she meets her ex-boyfriend.
Use your exquisite and beautiful appearance to tell your ex-boyfriend: "See if I can't kill you with my beauty today, you bastard, go and regret it, I am still living a good life without you."
But Jiang Jibai has actually had a hard time in recent years.
Jiang Jibai was curling her hair with a curling iron when Lin Shanshan called her.
Lin Shanshan is Jiang Jibai's roommate in college and current best friend.
He was also a witness to the blossoming and withering of Gu Moyang and Jiang Jibai's once beautiful love.
"Bao, you really have to go find him."
Lin Shanshan's voice on the other side was filled with worry and indignation.
Jiang Ji pinched a strand of hair with his white fingers, raised his eyelashes, and said "hmm" with certainty.
"Why would you want to meet this bastard?" Lin Shanshan lashed out. "Even though you're his ex-boyfriend turned money boyfriend, he was really too ruthless before."
Lin Shanshan emphasized, "This is a sudden breakup and he left without saying goodbye. If it were me, I would have someone ambush him at the airport on the day he returns home and beat him up first!"
"Or, I'll go with you. Now that this bastard is rich, we can take the opportunity to extort some money from him as compensation for your mental damages."
Jiang Jibai smiled as he operated the curling iron. "Intentional injury and extortion are both crimes. I'm a law-abiding citizen."
—
The alumni association of Jinghuai University is held once a year.
Anyone who is a student of Jinghuai University can participate.
At the alumni meeting, some people who have made outstanding achievements in recent years will be invited to speak on stage and share their success stories with their younger classmates.
There are a lot of people coming to the school to attend the alumni association this year. I wonder if it’s because he’s back.
Jiang Jibai had heard Gu Moyang's name from several schoolmates, along with words like "super handsome", "super rich", "super elegant" and so on.
Lin Shanshan pulled Jiang Jibai's arm and walked on the campus, rolling her eyes nonchalantly.
She complained: "Gu Moyang, Gu Moyang, it never ends. Aren't these girls just like you were back then, completely mesmerized by his somewhat handsome appearance."
Jiang Jibai admitted that she was indeed bewitched by Gu Moyang's beauty back then.
He is a handsome guy with a height of 188cm and a perfect body that makes these art students scream.
He had once been a model for her, the completely naked kind.
"Do you have a loudspeaker?" Lin Shanshan suddenly stopped and asked.
Jiang Jibai didn't understand, "Why do you need a loudspeaker?"
Lin Shanshan said righteously, "I'm going to walk around with a loudspeaker and shout, 'Gu Moyang is a scumbag who cheated on people, to prevent anyone from being deceived a second time!'"
Jiang Jibai: "..."
Walking through the familiar campus, Jiang Jibai's heart began to beat faster with nervousness on the way to the auditorium.
Jiang Jibai and his friends arrived late, and when they got to the auditorium, it was already packed with people.
Only the outermost rows of seats were left.
The auditorium was already packed before the sharing session even started, which would have been impossible before.
This also indirectly proves that he is really back.
Lin Shanshan pulled Jiang Jibai to find a seat that was as far back as possible.
As soon as Lin Shanshan sat down, she took out a small mirror and began to touch up her makeup. She glanced at Jiang Jibai and said, "Baby, you look so beautiful today. I rarely see you wearing such exquisite makeup. To be honest, sitting next to you makes me anxious about my appearance. I have to touch up quickly."
Jiang Jibai didn't believe her. If Lin Shanshan felt anxious, then there would be no one in the world who wouldn't feel anxious.
Lin Shanshan held the powder puff and glanced at the distant podium in front of her. "That bastard hasn't arrived yet, why are you pretending to be so high-profile?"
At this time, Jiang Jibai heard the girls sitting in the row in front of them talking.
"I heard that Senior Gu would be attending this sharing session. He's now a legend in our computer science department. Every one of our teachers has told us stories about him. Today I finally get the chance to meet him in person."
"I heard from our teacher that Senior Gu donated 100 million to the school this time. That's a huge amount."
"This is nothing to Senior Gu, just a drop in the bucket."
Lin Shanshan couldn't stand it any longer. "You bastard, you're so rich, you think you're going to donate! Why are you showing off? Why don't you donate some to me?"
Jiang Jibai: "..."
Gu Moyang didn't actually have much money when he was in college, and he wasn't from a wealthy family.
On the contrary, Gu Moyang had a miserable life. His parents died when he was seven years old, and he was later adopted by his aunt and uncle.
Gu Moyang rarely mentioned his family. This was the only information Jiang Jibai learned from him.
Jiang Jibai also heard and learned about Gu Moyang's deeds after he went abroad from the news.
During his five years abroad, he seized the opportunity to combine finance and computers to establish a quantitative trading company, became famous on Wall Street, and became a financial upstart worth tens of billions.
Now he has returned to his hometown in glory, and donated 100 million yuan to his alma mater as soon as he got back. This matter was also reported in the news. Of course, everyone said good things about him, saying that Gu Moyang never forgets his roots even if he grows thousands of feet tall, and people never forget their roots even if they travel thousands of miles.
As my thoughts were drifting, a tall and sturdy figure came in through the side door.
Although they were at a distance, Jiang Jibai still recognized him at a glance based on his figure and the way he walked.
It’s Gu Moyang.
