Yu Chengjue watched the girl gradually disappear into the wind and snow, his jaw clenched, his eyes filled with struggle and resentment.
In just six months, he had lost the high spirits he had when he first entered the school.
A graduate student in the Department of Finance at Aurora University is the envy of many.
He once thought he could make a name for himself in Huating and realize his personal value, but reality was much crueler than he imagined.
He was even replaced by someone with connections and influence when he was allowed to stay at the university. His advisor's avoidance of the topic left him with no chance to appeal.
Because of the tight deadline, his submitted CVs disappeared without a trace.
The offers I received were only from a few small, unknown companies, and some even required me to be sent abroad at any time.
He initially found it absurd, but later became numb and uneasy. He couldn't even support himself, let alone his family.
The expectations of his parents and the pressure from his peers made him feel suffocated, as if he were trapped in a quagmire.
When the pressure became unbearable, Anjou extended an olive branch to him.
Last month, Anru took him to the financial center of Huating – Yuanjia International.
Standing on the top floor, overlooking the bustling city below, he was instantly filled with excitement and ambition.
Yu Chengjue believed that as long as he was given the opportunity, he could definitely make a name for himself in Huating, this international financial metropolis.
He might even rise to the top, if he compromises temporarily.
He was moved, longing to grow strong like a seedling breaking through the soil.
Temptation quickly filled his heart, interfering with the beliefs he had always held onto, and at the last moment, he succumbed.
Yu Chengjue slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was as calm and composed as a gentle breeze and a bright moon.
He took a deep breath, looked down at Anru who was holding him tightly, his expression serious and earnest.
"Anru, I'm sorry to Qin Suisui. If you want me to continue this relationship without any guilt, then stop causing trouble for her!"
"Senior brother, but just now she..."
"Anru, I told you, it's all my fault!"
Yu Chengjue's gentle and refined face was solemn, and his eyes were sharp.
"Oh, I see, senior brother."
Anru was forced to agree, her lowered eyes flashing with resentment and malice.
When Qin Suisui returned to the girls' dormitory, the dormitory door was already closed.
The dormitory supervisor saw that Qin Suisui was soaking wet, and swallowed back the words of reprimand she was about to say.
She sighed and said, "Qin Suisui, I'll let you off this time since you've been quite well-behaved throughout your four years of university, but you're absolutely not allowed to come home this late next time."
"Okay, thank you, dormitory supervisor!"
Qin Suisui felt weak all over and dragged her tired body up the stairs one step at a time.
When she got to the dormitory, she gently pushed open the door. Fortunately, her roommates had left the door open for her.
Su Yue was a light sleeper. Hearing the door open, she was immediately awakened. She got up and squinted at the light, and saw Sui Sui's figure in the corridor light.
She pulled her phone out from under her pillow, glanced at the time, and saw it was almost midnight.
Her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke: "Sui Sui, why are you only coming back now? You didn't answer when I called you. Yang Lu and I were so worried about you."
It was already time to turn off the lights in the dormitory, but Sui Sui still hadn't returned. Worried that something had happened to her, she and Yang Lu made several phone calls, but no one answered.
Seeing that Sui Sui had finally returned safely, she breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed.
Su Yue was extremely sleepy, her eyes closed and her voice soft and fragmented: "Did you get lured away by our handsome Yu again, Qin Suisui? Love is sweet, but remember to keep it in moderation."
"Yueyue, I'm sorry!"
Qin Suisui smiled bitterly and said softly.
"I haven't checked my phone, I'm sorry to have worried you. Yueyue, you should go to sleep now, I'm going to go in and wash up."
She said a few words briefly, grabbed her change of clothes, and went into the bathroom.
Qin Suisui was almost soaked through, her hair was drenched in snow water and clumps of it fell across her chest. She looked at her disheveled reflection in the mirror and gave a mocking smile.
She took off her soaking wet clothes, went to the shower, turned on the showerhead, tilted her head back, and used the hot water to wash away the biting cold from her body, tears streaming silently down her face.
She forced herself to get cleaned up and lay down on the bed; it was nearly one in the morning.
I opened my phone, posted a picture on my WeChat Moments, and uploaded the photo I took downstairs in the male dormitory of the graduate school.
The photo was captioned with only one sentence: Happy breakup, move on!
After posting on her WeChat Moments, she quickly blocked and removed Yu Chengjue's phone number, WeChat account, and all related social media accounts.
She turned off her phone, slowly closed her eyes, and tossed and turned for a long time before finally falling asleep.
Qin Suisui didn't know how long she had slept when she vaguely heard Su Yue's voice in her ear, and she opened her eyes with difficulty.
Seeing that Sui Sui had finally woken up, Su Yue climbed onto the top bunk, grabbed her phone, and angrily pointed at her WeChat Moments: "Sui Sui, Yu Chengjue cheated on me?"
"Um!"
The aftereffects of last night: Qin Suisui experiences a tearing pain in her throat when she speaks.
Her voice was a little hoarse: "Yueyue, my throat is a little dry and sore, could you get me a glass of water?"
"good."
Just as Su Yue was about to berate the scumbag, she opened her mouth, got out of bed, walked to the desk, and continued to berate him.
"I never expected Yu Chengjue to be such a cheating scumbag. When Yang Lu and the others get back, let's go find that scumbag Yu Chengjue together!"
Su Yue's eyes reddened. The four of them had always gotten along well during their college years, and she and Sui Sui were the closest among them.
Sui Sui is both talented and beautiful, and was named the goddess of the law school as soon as she entered the school.
Back then, their law school seniors were all secretly eager to compete, but before they could even put their strength into it, Yu Chengjue, the campus heartthrob from the finance department, took the lead.
For the past three years, Yu Chengjue, this scumbag, has always acted like a devoted boyfriend, taking great care of Sui Sui. Who knew that he would cheat on her so soon after graduation?
Su Yue picked up Sui Sui's water glass, poured a cup of hot water, walked to the bedside, stood on tiptoe, and handed it to her.
"Sui Sui, who is this mistress in the photo? I'll expose her online."
Qin Suisui leaned against the bed, took the water glass, and smiled weakly.
"She's Yu Chengjue's junior sister. But Yueyue, there's no need to go looking for Yu Chengjue anymore. I should thank her for letting me see Yu Chengjue for who he really is."
Her fair face still showed signs of fatigue.
"Those who have abandoned me, the days of yesterday cannot be retained, they are not worth my remembrance!"
If Yu Chengjue had told her to his face that he wanted to break up, she would have respected him for his sense of responsibility.
Seeing that Sui Sui's smile was forced, Su Yue held her hand with some concern.
"Sui Sui, are you really alright?"
"It's really nothing, just a breakup. I was outside for too long last night and caught a chill."
Qin Suisui lay on the bed with her temples throbbing and her eyes closed, her brows furrowed.
"Sui Sui!"
"Sui Sui!"
"That bastard Yu Chengjue cheated on me!"
The dormitory door was pushed open from the outside with a loud "bang," and the door shook violently a few times.
Yang Lu, carrying a lunchbox, stormed into the house one after the other, looking furious.
