Ye Fan walked out of the community, lit a cigarette, and took a few deep puffs.
He stood on the busy road, and his mind was filled with the image of a girl.
"Wu Xue, hello, are you free now?"
Finally, Ye Fan dialed Wu Xue's phone number and said hello calmly and peacefully.
"Free!" Wu Xue quickly answered the phone, "Ye Fan, didn't you say you wanted to put your daughter to sleep first?"
"I asked my neighbor next door to take care of her temporarily. Where should we... meet?"
"Go to the school playground, the track where you confessed your love to me."
"good!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they hung up the phone at the same second.
Ye Fan took a taxi to Binhai University campus.
Binhai University is open to the public, and even at night, there are still many people coming in and out.
Ye Fan walked into the university and came to the campus stadium.
The evening breeze at the end of May was already a bit hot, and there were still many college students running sweating on the football field.
As he ran to the corner, a beautiful figure wearing a white beach skirt stood out.
Many boys running at night were attracted to it.
The timid ones would take a few furtive glances and pretend to be passing by. The bold ones would just take out their phones and strike up a conversation and ask for their WeChat ID.
It's a pity that the girl in white has an air of being indifferent to strangers, which makes all the boys fall into disgrace.
She was sitting on the lawn with her mobile phone in her hands, her long hair flying in the air in the breeze, her stunning face full of charm, and her eyes filled with a soft aura.
The woman stood up slowly, her white skirt fluttering in the wind, supporting her tall figure perfectly. She looked like a snow lotus in the dark night, incredibly beautiful!
The boys who came one after another were deterred.
Such a fairy-like girl is intimidating, and a feeling of admiration surges in my heart.
"Wu Xue, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are even more touching."
At this moment, a burst of mottled red dots lit up in the dark corner.
One inhale and one light, one spit and one dark, printing a melancholy face.
"You're here." Wu Xue turned around slightly, a gleam of light blooming in her eyes.
The boys around him all let out long sighs.
"You are still so popular." Ye Fan pinched out his cigarette and walked out of the corner.
"But you are not as arrogant as you were back then." Wu Xue smiled faintly, "Would you like to take a walk?"
"good."
A man and a woman gradually approached and walked slowly around the edge.
Wu Xue's expression was very quiet, with no emotion visible.
Ye Fan felt the hostility of the boys passing by and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Did you see that, I am about to become a public enemy."
"Didn't you enjoy this feeling in the past?" Wu Xue looked ahead, not squinting, as if talking to the air.
Ye Fan shrugged, "People will grow up."
"Well, you have indeed matured. By the way, I forgot to congratulate you. You have a family and a career. You are a winner in life!" Wu Xue smiled softly, confounding all living beings.
Ye Fan continued to shake his head and sighed: "I'm just a loser, not worthy of your praise. Wu Xue, I'm not used to this place. Can I change my place?"
"Of course, let's go monkey."
Wu Xue stepped up her pace and walked out of the stadium quickly.
The two came to a lounge bar outside the school. The walls were covered with various monkey dolls with funny and cute expressions.
This lounge bar is very cozy, and Wu Xue likes to come here to drink. The two of them spent a lot of money in this store back then.
They asked for a quiet private room and ordered two cups of coffee.
Wu Xue sat opposite Ye Fan and looked directly into his eyes openly.
Ye Fan felt a sense of nervousness in his heart, and his eyes became evasive.
"Are you shy?" Wu Xue smiled playfully, "It used to be that you were always looking at me, and I was the one blushing."
"It's just that I'm not used to it." Under Wu Xue's gaze, Ye Fan's mouth went dry and he drank the coffee in one gulp.
Wu Xue put away her eyes and smiled calmly.
"I know you have been having a hard time these years and are unwilling to ask for our help. However, I still want to get your own answer. Why have you disappeared so completely these years?"
Ye Fan was in a mess and didn't know how to explain it.
After all, he didn't understand what Ye Fan had gone through in his life of gambling debts.
How miserable is he? How decadent is he?
For Ye Fan, it is simply a mystery!
However, the former Ye Fan still retained the last trace of dignity in his heart.
In the space left by this trace of dignity, there is a person hidden. This person is Wu Xue!
Ye Fan hesitated for a while, then smiled and said: "Because, I don't have the face to see you."
"Is it just because of this?" Wu Xue tilted her head, a little doubtful.
"Besides, you are so beautiful. If loan sharks find you, I'm afraid they will try their best to get you to work in a nightclub."
Ye Fan put down his thoughts and faced reality.
"Besides, I was also married at the time, so it was not suitable for me to have contact with you again."
"Well, I understand." Wu Xue's expression dimmed a little, and she asked softly: "Do you love her very much?"
Damn it, I'm just a taker!
As soon as Ye Fan talked about this, he wanted to curse, but in front of Wu Xue, he was no longer the arrogant young man he once was.
"It's not about love, it's just a little bit of family affection." Ye Fan shook his head, "We are already in the process of divorce."
"Ah?" Wu Xue was surprised again, "Why?"
"Why else? A person like me is not worthy of her continued nostalgia." Ye Fan laughed at himself.
Wu Xue pondered for a while and asked in a low voice: "Ye Fan, what kind of person have you become?"
"..." Ye Fan was speechless and changed the subject: "Stop talking about me, I'm just a down-and-out guy. How are you doing lately?"
"It's okay. Murong Qi told you about my dad, so you should know what happened." Wu Xue smiled miserably, "You should have come to me in the first place. The money at home should be given to no one but..."
"It's not too late to come to you now." Ye Fan said with a proud smile: "Wu Xue, I won't run away anymore."
"It's a pity that it's too late." Wu Xue's mouth turned bitter, "You have your own family and a daughter, so it's impossible for the two of us."
Ye Fan touched his nose and felt quite sorry for this, but he didn't force it to stay.
"Or it would be nice to be friends."
"Well, let's get together when we have time. Our group is doing well. If there are any good opportunities, we can share them with you."
Wu Xue nodded.
Afterwards, the private room fell into an atmosphere of silence.
Ye Fan couldn't find anything to talk about, and Wu Xue was not in a good mood.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the lounge, and it sounded like there were a lot of people.
"Hey, are you reading that right? The fairy sister is really relaxing here, isn't she?"
"It's definitely true. I followed them and saw them come in with my own eyes."
"Nang Xipi, I must get this young lady's phone number! Let's wait at the door and keep your eyes open. If we succeed, I'll treat you to a supper."
After hearing the conversation between these people, Ye Fan grinned slightly.
"These little brats are really passionate about you!"
"Is it funny?" Wu Xue shook her head, "Let's go through the back door."
"Can."
Ye Fan pressed the service bell, called the clerk to pay, and then slipped out of the side door with Wu Xue.
Walking to the street, Ye Fan looked at the clock on his phone and asked in a low voice: "Shall I take you back?"
"Let's... go to another place."
Wu Xue pursed her lips and pulled Ye Fan to a small hotel across the street.
Ye Fan was stunned and stupidly followed Wu Xue into the room before he came back to his senses.
"Wu Xue, what do you want to do?"
Wu Xue locked the door, closed the curtains, and looked around the room.
"After you dropped out of school, we spent our last night in this room. It's just that we were too young at that time and didn't know what to do with some things.
You go take a shower, I'm ready."
Wu Xue's expression was very strange, her chest was rising and falling violently, and her heart was definitely not as calm as it seemed.
Ye Fan naturally remembers this scene.
However, at that time, Ye Fan already knew that he was going to the military camp to avoid the limelight, so he deliberately acted awkward to preserve Wu Xue's first time.
Ye Fan loves Wu Xue very much and doesn't want to hurt her in this way.
He was waiting until he came back from the military camp to marry Wu Xue home and then fulfill his wish.
Unfortunately, after entering the military camp, Ye Fan's life changed drastically.
By the time he completed his training as a special forces soldier and returned home in full glory, Wu Xue was already married.
Therefore, Ye Fan did not retire and continued to stay in the military camp, step by step becoming an internationally famous special forces king!
However, in this world, Ye Fan's life trajectory is more tortuous and gloomy.
He had no face to see Wu Xue. Even if he got married and had a child, he would not dare to tell Wu Xue the good news.
Wu Xue's life has also changed. Her father went bankrupt. In order to support the family, Wu Xue devoted herself to work, and until now she has no intention of falling in love.
Two different tragic lives, returning to this separate room, created a heavier mood.
"Wu Xue..." Ye Fan couldn't believe his ears, "Are you kidding?"
"Why, are you afraid?" Wu Xue smiled faintly, "I have been preparing for this day for eight years. This is my only wish, do you want to refuse?"
Ye Fan thought for a while and whispered: "I have a daughter."
"So, I am the one who suffers." Wu Xue stepped forward and gently touched Ye Fan's cheek: "Don't you want to possess me?"
Suddenly the figure of Dong Yuejun appeared in Ye Fan's mind, he couldn't help but trembled, and quickly took a step back.
"Ye Fan, I'm getting married soon, but I don't love him." A wry smile appeared on Wu Xue's face.
"I always hope that I can dedicate my precious first time to the man I love most, even if it is just my former lover!"
"Many people have said that a woman's first time will be painful, and she will get used to it after that. My marriage is destined to be painful, and I don't want it to hurt twice on that day!
Ye Fan, please promise me!"
"Aren't you not in love?" Ye Fan was slightly startled, "Why are you getting married so smoothly?"
"There are some things that I can't control." Wu Xue smiled miserably: "But, I have the final say on this body! Ye Fan, thank you for showing up at this time."
