"Wen Jing?!" Su Shenxing couldn't help but feel surprised.
She raised her eyes, faced his stunned expression, sighed slightly, and said quietly, "A Xing, actually, I am the one who should leave."
She knew that it was because of her that he wanted to go abroad. Faced with a loveless marriage, he would choose to leave the country.
But she couldn't bear to let him go to the other side of the ocean. It would be better for her to leave with the others. He still had relatives and friends in China, but she was already alone.
Anyway, as long as there is a space between them, they will be free and at ease.
Her marriage to him was a gamble for her. She thought they could slowly develop a relationship, but she lost the gamble. She should not have bound him with her selfish, one-sided love. This marriage was a mistake.
So, she decided to leave and give him a free space and a free life.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to cheer up, took out the ticket she had already bought from her handbag, and pretended to be strong and said, "I have already bought the ticket, and it is the same flight. I am also going to Frankfurt, but I am not applying to study abroad, nor am I
To teach, I applied for a position at the Deutsche Bundesbank. I wanted to change places, change the working environment, and start my life again."
"Deutsche Bundesbank?!" Su Shenxing couldn't help but feel surprised.
From the day he met Wen Jing, she had always been a quiet and indifferent girl. Because her parents were both intellectuals, she had received a good education since she was a child and was determined to engage in academic research when she grew up. After graduating from graduate school
, she went to teach at Sun Yat-sen University. She was the youngest professor in the International Business School and had outstanding achievements.
And he is no stranger to Frankfurt, which has the headquarters of the European Bank, so it is called "Manhattan on the Main". Frankfurt is a symbol of the German financial industry and high-tech industry, and is also the gathering place of European monetary institutions, with more than 400
Banks, 770 insurance companies and countless advertising companies. Frankfurt's stock exchange is one of the largest stock exchanges in the world, operating 85% of Germany's stock transactions, and the Deutsche Bundesbank is located in the center of Frankfurt.
The central bank of the Federal Republic of Germany is like a sharp central nerve, affecting the entire German economy. People there are dealing with money every minute, and the work pace is as fast as you can imagine.
It was difficult for him to associate her, who had always been gentle and weak, with the high-speed and intense banking environment. In his impression, Wen Jing had always been a little sister who needed to be protected and cherished. The simple environment in school was suitable for her.
But she suddenly had to go abroad, go to that strange country alone, and even have to work in a bank. This feeling was so... subversive.
For a moment, Su Shenxing's thoughts were a little stagnant. His mind was still stuck in the summer a few years ago, when he went to Wen's house for the first time and she stood in the yard in a daze looking at a bicycle.
On a midsummer evening, seventeen-year-old Wen Jing, with long flowing hair, wearing a simple white cotton shirt and short jeans of the same color, stood under a big tree and stared at a brand new bicycle.
Her grades in cultural classes have always been excellent, but her motor skills have never been very good, and she will soon be admitted to college. Physical education is obviously her weak point. In order to improve her athletic ability, her father bought her a bicycle.
While exercising your physical strength, you can also train your balance ability and enhance the coordination of your hands and feet.
However, she has always lacked physical exercise and is really afraid of riding a bicycle. Her mother died young and her father is busy at work, and he is not careful enough to consider her cowardice, so it has been two days since she bought the bicycle.
But she has never ridden one.
And just when she was in trouble, Su Shenxing appeared.
After being introduced by their father, they got to know each other. He stayed at Wen's house for two days that weekend. He noticed that she was always looking at her brand-new bicycle in a daze, so he asked curiously, "Bicycles are for riding, not for looking at."
, why don’t you try it?!”
"I...I'm not very good at..." Wen Jing said shyly, her eyes lowered.
Su Shenxing was obviously a little surprised, and Wen Jing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but instead of making fun of her, he took the initiative and said, "How about I teach you?!"
"Is it okay?!" She was very surprised.
"Of course." He smiled softly, with a hint of endearment in his eyes.
His inadvertent move made her stunned. In fact, she had always envied those with good motor skills. Every time she took physical education class and everyone played badminton and table tennis deftly, she wished she had a big brother.
He taught her sports that she was not good at, and the appearance of Su Shenxing not only satisfied her desire for a brother, but also gave her the feeling of having a new love interest.
"Then it's up to you." She pushed the bicycle towards him.
He took it, turned the car around, patted the back seat, and said, "I'll take you to the playground in the backyard first. The space there is more spacious and easier to practice."
"Okay." She nodded in agreement.
The Wen family lives in a family building of the school, which is within the scope of the school. The backyard of the building is the school playground. During holidays, many people play sports there.
The light of the sunset was gently swayed down by the branches, like broken gold falling on the ground. The wheels made a rhythmic clicking sound as they walked. Wen Jing sat behind Su Shenxing, her hand gently supporting his
On her waist, there was no smell of sweat on his body, only a faint scent of soap, like the grass on a summer afternoon, refreshing and pleasant. The evening breeze blew through her hair and brushed her cheeks, leaving a trace of itching.
The red tide brushed against her ears unconsciously, and her hands loosened slightly, as if she was instinctively shy.
But at this moment, someone's puppy suddenly broke away from its owner's reins. Su Shenxing was caught off guard and quickly stepped on the brakes. Because it was too sudden, Wen Jing behind him suddenly lost her center of gravity, and because she didn't hug him tightly.
He, so much so that his whole body collided with his back.
"Well..." She made a painful sound.
"Are you okay?!" Su Shenxing quickly got out of the car and asked about her situation. She covered her face with her hands, her eyes were red, and she shook her head.
She was almost crying, how could she be okay?!
He pulled away her hand uneasily and stared at her small face and delicate red nose, which made him feel guilty and want to laugh.
She looks like the Scottish Fold cat her grandma keeps at home.
Without thinking much, he reached out and rubbed her nose to help her relieve the pain.
She lowered her head in embarrassment, deliberately not looking at his handsome face, but she couldn't hold back her wild heartbeat.
She likes him.
That summer, where the sun didn't shine, there were always people who were moved and lonely. Under the shade of the trees, the beauty spread quietly.
