Chapter 205 Let's end it here
Li Wenxi shook his head.
Mother Chen suddenly saw her son coming in with a bag of roast duck, and hurriedly took the red envelope on the table, and said to Li Wenxi: "Good boy, you should talk to Zhiyan about the breakup, and don't affect his going to Country M."
Li Wenxi said lightly: "I hope he is well too."
Chen Zhiyan walked in with a smile on his face.
The two stopped talking.
Back to school, Li Wenxi and Chen Zhiyan walked slowly on the campus.
Li Wenxi said to Chen Zhiyan, "You will be leaving in two days. Tomorrow I would like to invite you to go boating in Beihai Park. Are you free?"
At this time, Chen Zhiyan's joy of being admitted to the University of Country M had long gone, and only reluctance to leave Li Wenxi remained. He held Li Wenxi's hand and said, "Okay. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
The next day, Li Wenxi took Chen Zhiyan to the private restaurant outside the school that they often went to for dinner and ordered his favorite dishes.
Chen Zhiyan looked at Li Wenxi and said, "It always feels like our last lunch."
"You used to take care of me, but now you're leaving. It's my turn to take care of you."
Chen Zhiyan really wanted to hold Li Wenxi's hand, but there were people around him, so he had to hold back. He just looked at Li Wenxi reluctantly, "Xiaoxi, I really can't bear to leave you. You have to write to me often."
Li Wenxi smiled and said, "Okay, if you want to write to me, I'll write to you."
"Why wouldn't I write to you?" Chen Zhiyan was a little angry.
"Okay, don't be angry. This is your favorite fried beef. Come and try it."
After dinner, the two went to the Beihai Park where they had their first date to row a boat.
This time, Chen Zhiyan rowed more skillfully than the last time. The lake was sparkling, and the willow trees beside the lake were swaying, which was a beautiful scene.
However, both Chen Zhiyan and Li Wenxi were a little absent-minded.
Chen Zhiyan was sad about the upcoming farewell, while Li Wenxi was thinking about what to say later.
After rowing the boat, Chen Zhiyan and Li Wenxi walked on the path in the park.
Li Wenxi unconsciously touched a handful of willow branches on the side of the road, "Zhiyan, I have something to say to you."
At this point, Li Wenxi stood up and looked at Chen Zhiyan.
Chen Zhiyan also stopped to look at Li Wenxi, with a bad feeling in his heart.
A breeze blew by, and the willow branches floated between the two of them.
"Zhiyan, I think we should end here."
Chen Zhiyan's pupils suddenly widened: "Xiaoxi, what do you mean?"
Li Wenxi looked at Chen Zhiyan seriously: "It means breaking up. When you go to Country M, there will be a gap between us in terms of thinking and cognition. The gap will get bigger and bigger, and we will be unable to understand each other's lives. I don't want us to end up in a bad ending in the future. I have been very happy with you for the past year. I hope we end happily."
"I don't agree. If I go to Country M, we will write letters often and there will be no gap." The bad premonition came true. Chen Zhiyan said anxiously: "Besides, you will go there for postgraduate studies in three years, and we can be together again."
"What if I can't go there to study for my master's degree? Will we have to delay it year after year, and then become a pair of resentful couple, and then complain about each other when we think of each other? Zhiyan, I don't want us to get to that point. Originally, I wanted to write to you and tell you after you left, but I thought that maybe it would be better to say it in person rather than in a letter. I want to say goodbye to you properly."
Chen Zhiyan looked at Li Wenxi with sad eyes: "Xiaoxi, do you have to break up with me?"
"Actually, from what your mother said yesterday and what you said before, it can be seen that according to your family's plan, you will most likely settle down in Country M in the future. But I won't. Even if I go to Country M to study in three years, I will not stay in Country M. So from this point of view, we will inevitably break up in the end. In this case, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long pain."
What Li Wenxi said instantly broke Chen Zhiyan. Xiaoxi was right. His family had indeed planned and arranged this for him, and he had been preparing in this way. Otherwise, how could he have gotten a high score on the TOEFL after only two weeks of preparation? He just kept avoiding this matter in front of Li Wenxi. He just wanted to slowly influence Li Wenxi and let her go abroad like him.
But he didn't expect that Xiaoxi would tell him directly today that she would not stay in Country M.
This reason left Chen Zhiyan speechless, and the two stood there quietly for a long time.
So long that Chen Zhiyan finally accepted this reality. He said in a hoarse voice: "Can we still be friends in the future?"
"Of course. Losing you as a mathematician friend is my loss." Li Wenxi tried to say something joking to ease the atmosphere.
Chen Zhiyan smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, and his smile was full of bitterness.
Li Wenxi stretched out her hand: "Let's get acquainted again. My name is Li Wenxi. Can I be friends with you?"
Chen Zhiyan looked at Li Wenxi, but did not stretch out his hand. After a while, he said: "Can I hug you?"
Li Wenxi took the initiative to step forward, opened her arms and hugged Chen Zhiyan. Chen Zhiyan hugged Li Wenxi tightly, buried his head in her shoulders, and his eyes were red: "Xiaoxi, you have to find someone who treats you better than me in the future."
Li Wenxi's eyes were also wet, and her voice was choked: "You also have to find someone who treats you better than me."
After returning to school, Li Wenxi sat by the lake for a long time.
After returning to the dormitory, she washed up and climbed into bed early and fell asleep.
As soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was full of scenes with Chen Zhiyan.
Tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes and slowly wet the pillowcase.
The next day, Li Wenxi woke up late for a rare occasion. Fortunately, it was Sunday, so she didn't have to rush to class.
The other three people in the dormitory were already gone. According to their schedule, they should have gone to the library.
Li Wenxi climbed out of bed. There was porridge in the aluminum lunch box on the desk, and there were steamed buns and eggs in the bowl next to it. There was a note on the table with Huo Jing's handwriting, "Xiaoxi, I brought you breakfast, eat it when you wake up."
A warm current flowed through her heart.
Li Wenxi didn't hear any of their getting up in the morning.
They probably noticed that something was wrong with her and wanted her to sleep a little longer.
Li Wenxi sat on a stool and ate breakfast. Thinking about today's study plan in her mind.
"Xiaoxi." There was a knock on the door.
When Li Wenxi heard the voice, she immediately said, "Shulan, come in."
The dormitory door creaked, and Zhang Shulan pushed it open and walked in.
"Shulan, why are you here?" Li Wenxi stood up to greet her.
"I heard that Chen Zhiyan is leaving soon, so I came to see you."
Li Wenxi moved one of her stools for Zhang Shulan to sit on, and she sat on Zhong Xiuxiu's stool.
"Well, he's leaving tomorrow."
Zhang Shulan carefully looked at her face: "Have you told him?"
Li Wenxi understood that Zhang Shulan was asking about the breakup, and nodded, "I told him yesterday." She briefly recounted what happened yesterday.
Zhang Shulan saw the half-eaten breakfast on the table, and Xiaoxi was still in her pajamas. She knew that Xiaoxi was probably in a bad mood, so she got up late today. Normally, she gets up on time at six o'clock.
