Chapter 1 Rainy Night Xu Zhijian, we have broken up!
July is the height of summer.
The sunset in Beijing is not like that on the island, which is damp and dazzling. What is more striking is that it is dim and dry, just like the hot wind circulating in the air.
"Dear passengers, this train has..."
The high-speed train announcement faded away. Wen Nian dragged his suitcase up the escalator. Duan Shuangyue's voice boomed through his earphones: "Gou Nian! You're finally back!"
"A year! I couldn't contact you for a whole year. Do you know how I spent every day?"
"I have no appetite, I live in fear every night, relying on those few photos to make my days feel like years... And you, you cruel woman, cough cough cough..."
After a burst of outbursts, she took a deep breath with a hoarse voice: "Next time, you are not allowed to disappear quietly again, do you hear me? You are still laughing!"
"I understand. I won't do it again." Wen Nian assured gently as he swiped his ID card to exit the station.
"I just got out of the station. Can you send me the student's home address? I'll go straight there once I'm done packing."
"Oh yes, yes, I almost forgot about that."
Duan Shuangyue sighed, "If my old man hadn't died at the wrong time, I wouldn't have bothered you to help me teach right after you came back. Thank you for your hard work, baby. I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
When she received the news that Wen Nian was coming back two days ago, she was worried about this matter. She had no other choice but to ask her for help.
With a vibration, the address is displayed in the chat box.
"This child has a good personality. You don't have to be restrained. Today is the last period anyway. Just follow the painting techniques I taught you before and check her homework."
Wen Nian said okay and chatted with her for a while.
Before he died, Duan Shuangyue reminded him, "In short, no matter what difficulties you encounter, life must go on. What a bastard! That damn exam! Forget it all."
"Yeah." After hanging up the phone, Wen Nian stopped, his deep eyes reflecting the scenery outside the station, and it took a long time before he left.
No more.
Everything, including that person, had been wiped out on the reef by her.
—
Using the advance salary, Wen Nian rented a loft apartment of more than 40 square meters, with two floors. The space was not large, but it had all the necessary facilities.
The bustling city is just outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows.
The balcony has good light transmittance.
The most important thing is that the style is warm and the sense of security is overflowing.
In short, she will not let herself have a bad life.
After a quick packing, it was already around seven in the evening. The weather forecast predicted rain, so Wen Nian went out, umbrella in hand.
The prosperity of Beijing is most visible at night, with bright lights and bustling traffic outside the window.
After about an hour, the car stopped at the gate of a residential complex.
"Thank you, Master."
"You're welcome. Take care."
After getting off the car, Wen Nian walked forward and glanced at the magnificent villas inside the iron gate.
Elegant and noble, the granite pillars in front of the door are thicker than two trees.
The environment and location are top-notch.
She had heard of this community - Yujing Huayuan, which is one of the richest areas in Beijing. The people living there are all well-known and prominent people.
In short, the upper class.
This is also the reason why Duan Shuangyue would rather ask her to substitute for the class than miss a class easily.
Can't afford to offend.
"jingle--"
"I'm here." The moment the doorbell rang, the housekeeper opened the door and looked at Wen Nian: "Who are you?"
The afterglow of the setting sun cast a gentle glow on the girl's smiling face. "Hello, I'm here to teach Teacher Duan's painting class."
"Teacher Wen?" The other party understood and waved in welcome: "Please come in."
Wen Nian nodded and followed him into the house. The cool air from the air conditioner immediately dissipated the heat from his body.
This is a living room decorated in French style. The space is larger than her entire home. The crystal chandelier emits cool light, and everything is elegant and noble.
She saw the girl on the sofa at a glance. Judging from her height, she was about thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Xiaoyu, the new teacher is here, get ready for class." The housekeeper brought Wen Nian into the house, gave her a reminder, and then went to do other things.
"Okay, right away!" Xu Xiaoyu didn't even look up. She quickly tapped the screen of her phone a few times, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the game ended. She then sent a voice message to her friend: "No more playing. Let's meet another day."
Then he put down his phone and looked up.
Seeing Wen Nian's face clearly, he was stunned: "Hey, sister, have we met somewhere before? She looks familiar."
But I can't remember it for the moment.
Wen Nian stood by the sofa and waited, thinking politely for a moment, and said softly: "Probably not. This is my first time in Beijing."
The other party nodded in confusion: "Is that so? Then beautiful girls always have something in common."
As she spoke, she admired it for a few more times.
Wen Nian is indeed beautiful, with almond eyes, thin lips, a standard oval face, fair and smooth skin, and a pure and lovely appearance.
With a head of lazy medium-length black curly hair draped over her shoulders, a blue jacket paired with jeans, she gives people a gentle and amiable feeling just standing there.
But the voice is sweet and soft, the contrast is overwhelming.
Wen Nian curved her eyes: "Thank you, Xiaoyu is also very beautiful."
With such a well-behaved student, the class was very enjoyable.
Two hours passed quickly.
"Okay, that's about it. Is there anything else you don't understand?" Wen Nian put down his paintbrush and asked with his head tilted.
Xu Xiaoyu said sweetly: "No, the teacher taught very well."
Hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief silently, urged a few more times, and then stood up from the sofa, "Then I'll leave first."
"Okay, but it seems to be raining outside, so please drive slowly on the way, teacher." Xu Xiaoyu stood up and waved goodbye to her.
Most children from wealthy families are both good-looking and virtuous. Wen Nian has truly experienced this. "Okay, goodbye."
Perhaps it was because of the rainy day, Wen Nian felt his heartbeat was a little unstable, and he had a bad premonition.
Now she just wanted to go back and lie down to take a nap, so she took a few steps to the door. However, the hand that had just grasped the door handle suddenly turned by itself.
She subconsciously resisted a few times.
What followed was a push from the outside and the inside.
"Who is it? Why are you still trying to push up the doorknob?" the man's unhappy voice rang out. "I'm freezing to death. Open the door quickly."
Wen Nian quickly let go and took two steps back.
But the moment the wooden door was pushed open, along with the silence in the air, two breaths came to a sudden halt.
The incandescent streetlight pierced the darkness, reflecting the needle-like rain, which fell inch by inch on the man's delicate profile and cast mottled black shadows on his neck.
Wen Nian widened his eyes in disbelief, a wave of fear and horror washing over him.
A year later, the face that she had finally forgotten in the sea breeze suddenly appeared before her eyes again.
All the dusty past events are inevitably touched upon and suddenly burst into the mind, so strong that they are irresistible.
Just like the person in front of me.
Xu... knows Jian.
She didn't even notice that this family also had the surname Xu.
"Brother! You're back!"
Xu Xiaoyu ran up excitedly, but all she got in response was the two of them staring at each other intently.
It felt like they wanted to kill each other.
"You... know each other?"
There was another horrible silence.
Xiaoyu shuddered subconsciously and didn't dare to say anything more.
The man stood at the door, full of nobility. His superior figure and appearance were the same as before, but the eyes that always smiled freely were no longer there. It was as if there was a cold pond hidden in his eyes, and his hair was still dripping with water.
After a long time, the water droplets fell to the ground.
His voice was clear and indifferent, as if he was describing a trivial, everyday matter, with a hint of imperceptible self-mockery.
"Of course, this is my girlfriend."
Xiaoyu's jaw dropped as she looked around: "Which... which girlfriend?"
Wasn’t her brother heartbroken and determined to become a monk?
"Who else could it be?" Xu Zhijian's calm gaze slowly shifted away from Wen Nian, and he raised his hand to close the door behind him.
With a click, the lock fell.
Along with this sound, there was also Wen Nian's uneasy heart.
He pushed the box past her, a faint smile on his lips: "Didn't I introduce one to you before?"
Wen Nian knew that hidden beneath this calmness was an imminent danger.
She trembled all over, and almost the moment he passed by, she immediately grabbed the door handle and prepared to escape.
However, before he could touch her, a large, cold hand grabbed her wrist with frightening force.
Wen Nian pulled twice, but to no avail. She turned back angrily, but Xu Zhijian still had his back to her, seemingly unconcerned. He handed the luggage to Xiaoyu, "Go, help me put it away."
In an instant, his tone changed: "Why are you running away? We haven't seen each other for a year, shouldn't we catch up?"
Although he tried to suppress it, these words revealed his current anger.
Wen Nian sneered. She knew that Xu Zhijian could never hide his emotions.
Just as he thought of this, he suddenly exerted force and pulled her into his arms. The coldness with a shallow temperature immediately soaked through her clothes.
Wen Nian looked up into Xu Zhijian's dark, gloomy eyes, and struggled with the same resentment: "I have nothing to say to you—what are you doing! Let go!"
Xiaoyu pulled the suitcase over tremblingly and watched Xu Zhijian carrying Wen Nian upstairs. Her expression became more and more distorted. After they walked away, she immediately rushed into the room with her cell phone in hand.
Click on the chat box: [Mom! My brother wants to commit a crime! ]
—
In the dim bedroom, Wen Nian was trapped in front of the window. Outside, the rain was pouring down. The cold air seeped in through the window and crawled up her back inch by inch like a poisonous snake. It took a lot of effort for her to stop trembling.
"What the hell do you want to do! I want to get out!"
Pushed back once again, Xu Zhijian grasped her slender wrist and demanded in a cold voice, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation. Why did you disappear without a word?"
In fact, Xu Zhijian had a sunny appearance, but at the moment his emotions were teetering on the edge of being out of control, and the gloom overshadowed everything. Being stared at so viciously, Wen Nian was somewhat frightened.
She knew she couldn't get out easily.
Xu Zhijian never allows himself to suffer any injustice, and will take revenge doubly for any small amount of revenge.
Thinking of this, Wen Nian suddenly stopped struggling, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him became a little subtle, as if she was extremely looking forward to his reaction after hearing what she said.
She spoke slowly, appreciating it carefully:
"Xu Zhijian, have you ever heard the saying, 'Graduation season equals breakup season.' I'm breaking off contact with you simply because I don't like you anymore."
"Or rather, we are not suitable. From the very beginning, I never considered you in my future. Do you understand?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the air pressure around him suddenly dropped several degrees.
After a long time, a deep voice sounded in the room: "Do you think I will believe your nonsense now?"
Wen Nian said word by word: "Believe it or not."
The finger bones pinching her shoulders suddenly became heavier.
Finally, the taut string broke completely at this moment. She was pushed heavily to the window, and her back hit the glass. She couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
"Wen Nian! You're always like this, so stubborn. You have to keep everything you're angry about inside. Your mouth is harder than stone. Not only do you torture yourself, but you also torture others."
"Do you know how many places I've looked for you this year?"
"Why are you doing this to me? You were the one who chased me first!"
The furious voice was as rapid and brutal as the heavy rain outside the window.
Wen Nian was grabbed and cried out in pain.
He could always speak out his grievances without restraint because there were always people who felt sorry for him, but not her.
The more this happened, the more excited she became. It was like revenge, her blood was boiling and clamoring, and she was extremely glad that she was the one who dumped him first.
Would a proud person like Xu Zhijian also have such a day?
It's really interesting, more interesting than dating him.
Seeing a hint of contemptuous smile on the corner of her lips, Xu Zhijian seemed to have touched the worst nerve in his heart. He pinched her chin and said in a hoarse voice: "You don't want to tell me?"
The hot and humid breath, carrying the familiar scent of lemon, sprayed on her face. Wen Nian immediately understood and subconsciously wanted to step back, but the glass behind her showed no mercy to her.
Then, her waist was firmly grasped, and a cold and fierce kiss came down irresistibly.
He used to do this when she was mad at him—kiss her until she told the truth.
It always works because Wen Nian can't handle his energy.
In the silent room, the dampness, heat, and whimpering sounds gradually overwhelmed the sound of rain, until Wen Nian was out of breath and physiological tears overflowed into the corners of her eyes, then she hardened her heart and clenched her teeth.
The taste of blood immediately filled his mouth, and Xu Zhijian had no choice but to withdraw. Before he could stand firmly, he was slapped in the face.
Wen Nian gasped: "Are you sick? Xu Zhijian! We've broken up!"
Xu Zhijian smiled happily.
This was the right reaction; this was the Wen Nian he knew.
"separate?"
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly raised his head. The light from the window illuminated the half of his face that looked like a madman.
"Is a unilateral breakup considered a breakup? What's more, you still owe me a debt."
Wen Nian pressed against his chest as he approached again, his slender fingertips rubbing across the tender white and rosy cheeks. The man in front of him had dim eyes and a wicked chuckle on his lips.
He suddenly didn't want to argue with her anymore.
Her confused reaction at the moment made him want to provoke and tease her. He leaned close to her ear and whispered a reminder: "Don't you remember? You promised me this on my birthday. This is compensation."
He emphasized the last two words deliberately, and then bit the red earlobe.
As if this could help him turn the situation around.
Unable to bear the sight of him acting like a dog, Wen Nian's suppressed anger suddenly burst out, and he pushed him half a step back.
His angry voice was choked with sobs, and before he could think, he blurted out: "Then you come and sleep!"
As he said this, he quickly took off his coat and threw it hard to the ground.
Thunder suddenly sounded outside the house.
Xu Zhijian's heartbeat suddenly stopped.
It was the same again. Every time she got angry, she would argue with him to the end, never leaving him any wiggle room.
Veins on his clenched fists were faintly pulsing.
A trembling, rough breath came from above his head, and the next moment, Wen Nian was grabbed by the back of the neck and pulled forward.
Xu Zhijian exerted force with his fingers, forcing her to look up at him, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "You think I can't?"
Their eyes met in a silent confrontation.
"Wen Nian." This voice was like the final bottom line, extremely heavy, and his usual reaction made him smile contemptuously: "Okay, anyway, this is what you owe me."
