Chapter 37
Xue Ling left in a hurry and took nothing with her from this small home.
There were signs that the house had been ransacked, but it wasn't particularly messy. At least the entire bedroom remained largely the same as it was three years ago.
Xue Ling opened the closet and looked inside, then opened the drawers one by one, scanning the test materials and books on the table, her water cup, the table decorations given by her friends, and the dead succulent potted plants...
After looking around, I didn't know what to take. It seemed like I wanted to take everything, but there was no need to take anything.
Pulling out the chair in front of the table, Xue Ling sat down on the dusty chair.
Dust was flying in the air, and looking through the window I could see the green trees outside and the school building in the distance.
For many days and nights, she just sat here studying or daydreaming.
"Dudu."
Xue Ling turned around and saw Wen Jiuze standing at the bedroom door. He pointed and knocked: "I thought you were packing, but it turns out you were just being lazy. Don't you want to take anything with you?"
"No, they are all useless." Xue Ling answered him by writing on the dusty desk.
Let these things stay here.
Wen Jiuze read what she wrote, walked to the closet, opened the top door, easily took out the suitcase with one hand, pushed open the bottom closet door, and began to pick clothes inside.
She brought along the clothes she often wore. Wearing her own clothes was always more comfortable than wearing someone else's clothes.
Xue Ling likes to keep visible areas clean, but her closet is often a mess, and she would rather hide it from sight once the door is closed.
Summer has arrived, but the winter clothes in the closet have not been put away yet, and are bulky and squeezed together with the summer clothes.
The closet itself is not very big, and Xue Ling likes to put things in a messy way, so the closet door is often so full that it can't be closed.
When Wen Jiuze moved in, he had to share a corner of the closet, which became even less than enough.
The last time Wen Jiuze came here was before he broke up with Xue Ling. At that time, his clothes were mixed with Xue Ling's clothes in the closet.
Now, when he looked around, all his clothes were gone, but there was a black package stuffed in the corner of the closet. From the sleeves that fell out of the bag, it looked like his clothes.
Xue Ling didn't even pack her own clothes, but helped him pack his clothes. How can this not be called caring?
Wen Jiu selectively ignored the tape that formed a big cross on the black package.
After picking out some clothes for Xue Ling, Wen Jiu opened the suitcase and remained silent again.
The suitcase was the one they had used when they traveled before, and there were still a lot of things in it that had not been packed out.
Wen Jiuze took out a skirt from the suitcase and said, "Isn't this the skirt you couldn't find before?"
Xue Ling stood up immediately: Oh! Really! Why are you here?
In order to find this skirt, she turned all the closets at home upside down and even piled the bed with clothes.
Wen Jiuze was sitting on the bed at the time, folding his clothes perfunctorily, listening to her mumbling "Where did I put them?" He searched left and right and almost crawled into the closet.
It turned out to be in this suitcase.
"Oh, and the nail clippers that you just couldn't find and insisted were lost by me." Wen Jiuze took out a multifunctional nail clipper from the inner pocket of the suitcase.
The suitcase also contained train tickets, flight tickets, attraction tickets, travel toiletries, facial cream samples, and other items.
Wen Jiu cleared out the useless things in the suitcase and stuffed Xue Ling's clothes into it.
Xue Ling originally didn't know what to take away, but when she saw Wen Jiuze packing her clothes, she suddenly felt like taking a lot of things away.
She also squeezed to the closet, found her favorite scarf, threw it into the open suitcase, and was in a dilemma when looking at her several backpacks. In the end, she chose the two most frequently used ones, one large and one small.
In the drawer was a gold bracelet that her cousin had given her. She put it on.
Take your ID card with you as a souvenir.
Bring a brand new notebook and a box of unused pens.
Use the comb and clips you are used to.
…
The suitcase could not hold all the miscellaneous items, so two large bags were added. Xue Ling was also holding a sky blue plaid blanket in her hands.
"Is this the thing you said you didn't want to take away?" Wen Jiuze lightly kicked the packages of different sizes at his feet. Moving was just like that.
Xue Ling: “…”
You didn't start it.
She held the blanket over her head with a slight sense of guilt.
After transporting the things downstairs, Wen Jiuze "took advantage of every opportunity" to stuff all the things into the space in the car, and unexpectedly saw the black package containing his clothes.
I didn't even notice when she put it in.
After getting in the car, Xue Ling raised the writing board and asked, "You're coming to Yu City just to move?"
Wen Jiu started the car and said something else: "Going around the school?"
They went to school again, Xue Ling's school.
It was vacation time and there were not many people in the school, so there were not many zombies in the school. Compared with the huge swarms of zombies on the busy streets, this place was sparsely populated.
The car drove past the teaching building, the cafeteria, and the artificial lake, turned around and stopped on the street below the girls' dormitory.
After graduating from university, Xue Ling rented a house by herself, but sometimes she felt too lonely living outside, and it was not very convenient to go to classes, so she still lived in the dormitory when she had many classes.
She was originally planning to live in the dormitory during her sophomore year, but she moved out after someone confessed to her under the dormitory.
"Someone confessed to you here before, remember?" Wen Jiuze also mentioned this.
"And here you are, you agree to date me."
Not only that, not only did I agree to date you here, but I also broke up with you on this street.
Xue Ling thought of that incident, curled her lips, pushed open the car door and got out.
There are many camphor trees and chinaberry trees planted on this street. No one has cleaned the ground for more than three years. The whole street is covered with fallen leaves, which rustle when you step on them.
The trees planted in Yushi University are those that love to shed their leaves. When autumn comes, especially when it is windy, leaves are floating everywhere in the sky.
Many students thought the scene was very romantic and took out their cell phones to take pictures.
But at this moment, a chilly breeze was blowing, the two of them were standing on the road looking at the fallen leaves, and in the distance a lone zombie was hurrying by, roaring excitedly. There was not the slightest romantic atmosphere of revisiting an old place.
"It's been more than three years..." Wen Jiuze leaned against the railing by the roadside and asked, "Can you get back together with me now?"
After asking, he stood up and went to deal with the zombie that was getting closer and closer, screaming and howling. Then he walked back with a normal look on his face and continued, "You should no longer be angry about what happened back then, right?"
Xue Ling: “…”
She used her feet to pull at the leaves in front of her, drawing out the word "OK". When Wen Jiuze smiled and wanted to hug her, she slapped him away and continued to draw the word "NO" in front of "OK".
Compound?
--no.
The opportunity for them to be together was very casual, and Wen Jiuze felt that the reason she agreed at the beginning was that she was embarrassed to refuse others.
Anyway, if two men proposed to her that day, she would definitely agree to one of them, either him or the other.
She just didn't want to be picky, so she just picked one at random to put an end to the embarrassment of being pursued by others.
She is the kind of person who doesn't want to go to a dinner party with others, but can't bring herself to agree unless others persuade her. After going there, she is too embarrassed to ask for more dishes if they don't have the dishes she likes. She is hungry but doesn't dare to ask to leave early. In the end, she has to accompany them to the KTV for a second round of dinner, tired and hungry.
The same thing happened with him. I agreed to be with him on a whim and put a lot of obligations and responsibilities on myself. Even though I didn't like him, I had to take care of him. I was often so angry that I was too embarrassed to break up with him...
Wen Jiuze never understood why she had been dating him for more than a year. Was it because she had gradually fallen in love with him, or was it because she had gotten used to his company and thought it was good to continue living like that?
Even though she had made some progress after dating for a year and was finally able to say no to him, she still wouldn't reject him.
Oh, now I do.
Wen Jiuzhe: "..."
But I hope you learn to say no, not that I want you to say no to me at this time.
Xue Ling drew two words on the fallen leaves with her feet, and stood beside him with her hand outstretched as if to show them, fearing that he might not see them.
Wen Jiuze stepped forward and erased the word "no" with his foot.
“Start over,” he said. “That doesn’t count.”
It's so funny. If you say it doesn't count, then it doesn't count!
Xue Ling drew out the word "no" again and stood in the middle, looking at him provocatively.
Wen Jiuze: "Okay, I will let you paint over the word 'no' yourself later."
He said, "My question this time is, is it okay to break up?"
Xue Ling: “…”
A cunning man.
When she rushed over to use an angry headbutt, Wen Jiuze picked her up with a clever move and forced it into a two-way hug.
"Why don't you agree? Aren't you used to using something and don't like to change it?"
Shower gel, shampoo and toothpaste, I have been using the same brand and type for years.
When your shoes are worn out, you have to go to the same online store and buy another pair of the same ones;
I'm used to having breakfast at the same restaurant, so I'll always eat there. After that restaurant closes, I'll always miss the old one every time I go to another one...
"You are not used to new things, and I don't have anything new to give you. Why don't you just take my old one back? Okay?"
Xue Ling was swayed in his arms, her toes barely touching the ground, and she really wanted to poke a few holes in him.
She said something about taking back the old things, making her look so pitiful. If you didn't know, you would think she was the one who wanted to break up.
Wen Jiuze suddenly put him down again and said thoughtfully, "You are not still bothered by the woman who had dinner with me? Did you misunderstand her identity?"
Of course not! There is no misunderstanding! That incident was not even a fuse, the focus is still on Wen Jiuze himself.
This dog, it’s been three years and I still don’t understand why she is angry!
In Xue Ling's opinion, the two broke up very suddenly.
The night before, Wen Jiuze was lying on her bed as usual, resting his head on her pillow. He touched the account book she placed beside the bed and looked at it. While flipping through it casually, he also said a few words to her.
The next day at noon, she and her classmates ran into Jianwen Jiuze and a beautiful sister having dinner together in a nearby restaurant.
The two had almost finished eating, so they stood up to pay the bill, then turned around and went into the sixth floor shopping mall to buy clothes. Wen Jiuze followed behind the pretty sister, helping her carry the bags.
Wen Jiuze usually doesn't pay attention to others at school, no matter whether they are boys or girls. He just ignores everyone when they talk to him. But today he was so well behaved and accompanied others to dinner and shopping.
The only one who had received this treatment before was Xue Ling.
At that time, Xue Ling's friends all looked at her hesitantly, and the words that were not said were revealed in their eyes.
——Is your boyfriend cheating on you?
But Xue Ling was not suspicious at first. Although the picture looked a bit like her sponsor and the boy she kept, she couldn't quite believe that she would encounter such a bloody thing.
She took a photo and used her connections to find out the identity of the sister as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be her sister.
That is Wen Jiuze’s half-sister, Wen Yi.
She had appeared in Wen Xuan's circle of friends. She was studying for a doctorate in the neighboring Andong City and was said to be a very powerful person.
That afternoon, she bought milk tea and met Wen Jiuze at school.
Wen Jiuze was absent-minded. She took the initiative to say, "Today I saw you having dinner and shopping with a girl in the mall..."
What she actually wanted to ask was, are you in trouble?
But before she could finish, Wen Jiuze suddenly said, "Let's break up."
