"...Zhang Xuemei?" Li Mo was shocked when he heard the name, and quickly asked: "Is it the Zhang Xuemei from Princeton?"

In his impression, Zhang Xuemei, who once visited Yanda with Professor SMITH, seemed to be Wei Xiaonian's college classmate.

Is it really the same girl?

Wei Xiaonian nodded and said, "You two have met before, in this coffee shop."

"At that time, she persuaded you to go to Princeton to study, but you refused, and in the end they broke up on bad terms."

It turned out to be the same girl, and Li Mo's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

"When we were in college, we were alumni of the same class and met in a public class. That day, she was wearing a powder blue skirt, her black hair draped vertically over her shoulders like a waterfall, and she was holding a copy of "Leaves of Grass"

", like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world."

Wei Xiaonian's eyes showed infinite tenderness, and he recalled with a happy face: "She pursed her lips and asked with a smile: Classmate, can I sit here?"

"At that time...I immediately blushed and bumped wildly."

"From that moment on, I was sure that she was my girlfriend. Encouraged by love, I launched a passionate attack on her."

"In order to buy her a Givenchy, I ate instant noodles for two months."

"She likes to listen to symphonies. I used the living expenses I saved from working during the summer to accompany her to a concert by the Philharmonic Orchestra."

"As graduation approached, she finally agreed to be my girlfriend... That was the happiest month for me."

Love is blind, as evidenced by Wei Xiaonian, who was immersed in happy memories. Li Mo let out a long sigh in his heart.

"A month later, she suddenly told me that she had been admitted to Princeton." Wei Xiaonian's emotions fluctuated with the memories. At this time, he looked puzzled: "We had agreed at the beginning that we would find a job after graduation.

Get married immediately."

"How could she break a sacred promise?"

“Is it that good to study abroad?”

"I was in such a bad mood that I turned down the job I had already contacted, carried a backpack, and started a month-long hiking trip."

Hiking trip... Li Mo secretly complained: I didn't expect that Wei Xiaonian, who seemed dull, was also a literary young man back then.

"When I spent my last dime, I fainted in front of the aid station. It was Professor Wu who took me back to Yanda by bus overnight."

"The professor did not blame me or notify my parents, but locked me in a dark room."

"In that darkness, I figured everything out!"

Wei Xiaonian said excitedly: "If you like someone, you should support all her decisions!"

"Since Xuemei has decided to study abroad, I should support her. This is noble and pure love."

"If she is well, it will be a sunny day!"

Li Mo had a dark look on his face. Is this what Wei Xiaonian realized in the dark room? If she is well, it will be a sunny day...

"I picked up my mood and looked for a job again. On the recommendation of Professor Wu, I entered Mathematics Monthly." Wei Xiaonian said that he was thirsty, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

He calmed down and continued: "Shortly after joining the magazine, Xuemei, who was far away in country M, actually found out my mobile phone number. She explained to me on the phone the reason why she went to study in country M."

"It turns out that this was all her mother's idea, and she didn't want to break our original vows."

Wei Xiaonian looked regretful: "What a pitiful Xuemei, I misunderstood her..."

"Xuemei's life as a student in Princeton was very difficult. While studying hard, she had to endure the rejection from her classmates."

"In order to integrate into the local social circle, she had to spend her small amount of living expenses and subsidies to hold various banquets."

"Of course I couldn't see Xuemei in such pain, so I kept enough of my monthly salary to meet her daily needs and remitted the rest to her."

.... When Li Mo heard this, he looked at Wei Xiaonian carefully. This graduate of Yan University didn't look like a fool.

Why would you do such a stupid thing?

Could it be that in the legend, a man caught in a love vortex has zero IQ?

"Xuemei also promised me that she would return to China after graduation and live with me."

"You also know what happened after that. In order to graduate successfully, she had to agree to Professor SMITH's invitation to study abroad."

So that's it... Li Mo felt strange at that time, why Wei Xiaonian would go against Professor Wu's wishes for an old classmate. It turned out that there was something unusual about this old classmate.

"It's fine now. Xuemei has completed her studies and returned to China. We are about to get married."

Wei Xiaonian didn't feel that his eyes were wet.

Li Mo always felt that there was something strange about this incident. He and Zhang Xuemei had a double relationship, and in his impression, this girl was definitely not a "secure" girl.

Why did she choose to return to China and marry Wei Xiaonian at this time?

And... Wei Xiaonian didn't seem to answer his own question.

He pretended to ask casually: "Since Zhang Xuemei has chosen to return to China for development, with her master's degree from Princeton, she should be very popular with major domestic companies."

"Of course, Xuemei said that she has received invitations from more than ten multinational companies." Wei Xiaonian said with excitement: "But the prospects and benefits of those companies were not good, so she turned them down."

Pushed it down...still...

Li Mo smiled and said: "We at Mozi Technology are lacking mathematics professionals like Xuemei. Have you never mentioned it to her?"

The high salary of Mozi Technology is just there. The key is that it provides each employee with a house. This house is located near the beautiful Yueshan Park, so it has long been the first choice for high-end talents.

Wei Xiaonian frowned, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "I also mentioned Mozi Technology to her at that time, but...she didn't seem interested."

However, this doubt disappeared in a moment, and his face was filled with happiness again: "But this is okay. After we get married, we are planning to have a baby. If we find a job at this time, it will definitely have an impact."

"You know, we are not young anymore."

...If you just don't want to work, that's it, I'm afraid...

Looking at Wei Xiaonian who was immersed in imagining the future, Li Mo couldn't bear to break his dream. But behind the dream there was often a bottomless abyss.

As a friend, he couldn't just watch Wei Xiaonian jump into the abyss with his eyes closed.

Li Mo tried to ask: "As far as I know, Zhang Xuemei should have graduated a year ago. Do you know what she did in country M this year?"

"Also, Zhang Xuemei's experiences over the years were all told to you on the phone."

"Is everything she said true?"

Wei Xiaonian was a little confused: "You mean, Xuemei is deceiving me?"

"This is impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Wei Xiaonian shook his head repeatedly, as if he wanted to get this ridiculous suspicion out of his mind.

But this trace of doubt took root like a seed and quickly grew into a towering tree.

Recalling the past, he murmured to himself: "After she returned to China, she suddenly changed all her contact information... She explained that she wanted to say goodbye to the past and embrace the present."

"This strange behavior... is more like avoiding someone."
