On the evening flight, they all had some things to do before boarding the plane.
Xia Haitao glanced at the documents on the coffee table, then looked at Tang Xuyao, "You still have to go to the company to explain some things, go ahead, business matters are important."
He shook his head and smiled lightly, "It doesn't matter, there is still a lot of time, I can send you to the academy first, don't you still have to hand in the leave application form?"
"That's just a routine procedure. I've already asked for leave. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."
"Let's go, it's our way anyway, I'll go to the company after seeing you off."
"Yeah." Xia Haiyu nodded softly.
The two set off together, fingers intertwined.
Each other can feel each other's temperature.
Stepping on the most familiar steps, looking at the most familiar intersection, just like this, holding hands lightly and walking side by side.
The white Maybach moved forward slowly, heading towards the entrance of the college. Xia Haitao got out of the car and waved to Tang Xuyao, "Bye!"
Tang Xuyao watched her walk in, then turned the steering wheel, raised his eyes and looked at the reversing mirror, and saw a familiar figure disappear in a flash.
Chen Yi?!
He looked back, only to find that there was no trace to be found.
He quickly opened the door and got out of the car, looking around, "Chen Yi... come out... I see you! Come out quickly!"
Hearing his shout, Chen Yi, who was hiding in the dark, raised his lips slightly, raised a faint smile, and slowly, slowly walked out.
Under the sun, his shadow is long and desolate.
Tang Xuyao turned around intuitively, and when he saw the person clearly, his eyes were filled with joy and anger.
"Chen——Yi!" He gritted his teeth. If he hadn't known about his physical condition, he really wanted to go up and punch him!
"Yao, long time no see, are you okay?!" Compared to Tang Xuyao's anger, Chen Yi was calm and calm.
"Damn it!" Tang Xuyao rushed over and grabbed him by the collar, wanting to vent his anger, but there was nothing he could do. "Damn it, where have you been hiding?! Do you know that we are all worried about you?!"
"I'm fine." Chen Yi's tone was still calm.
Tang Xuyao didn't want to waste time with him, so he said three decisive words, "Follow me!"
"..." Chen Yi stood still, looked directly into his eyes, and raised his eyebrows bluntly, "I came today because of Alocasia."
Tang Xuyao was slightly startled, okay, he admitted that he was bored when he heard these words, but this was not the time to lose his temper.
He took a deep breath and said in a sincere tone, "Yi, you go to the hospital with me first, and we'll talk about these things later."
"There is no future!" Chen Yi was very determined, and the stubbornness in his eyes made it impossible to refuse.
Tang Xuyao clenched his fist and said helplessly, "What do you want to say?!"
"I want you to break up with her!"
What?!
separate?!
"Chen Yi, do you know what you are talking about?!" Tang Xuyao tried his best to control his emotions, but when he heard these words, he really felt...crazy!
Chen Yi smiled faintly, without a hint of joking in his eyes, "I know very well that although I am very ill now, my mind is very clear. Yao, you and her are not suitable, break up, let go as soon as possible, right
You are good to her."
"..." Tang Xuyao paused and slowly said four words, "I like her!"
Chen Yi still maintained a faint smile, but his words were filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, "Like?! Do you like to mean manipulating her life at will, arranging for her to go abroad, and controlling everything about her?!
"
Tang Xuyao was stunned, "When did you know these things?!"
"That's not important. What's important is that you can't be together anymore!"
Tang Xuyao gritted his teeth and said in a very determined tone, "I did those things just to bring her to me!"
"But you never asked her what she meant. It was your trap from the beginning to the end!" Chen Yi's voice was not high-pitched, but there was a hint of chill in the tone, which was far from the usual gentleness.
Tang Xuyao's long eyes were filled with mist, "Chen Yi, you have your way, and I also have mine. If I like her, I will lock her with me at all costs!"
"Tang Xuyao, this is just your self-righteous idea! You don't know about Alocasia's personality, her self-esteem, her neither humbleness nor arrogance, how do you ask her to accept this? If she knew all this..."
"I won't let her know for the time being! As long as..." Before he finished speaking, Tang Xuyao suddenly had a look in his eyes, and a familiar figure appeared at the corner in front of him.
Xia Haiyao staggered over, her face as white as paper.
What are they talking about?!
Her coming to the United States was actually arranged by Tang Xuyao?!
how so?!
It was obviously Dean Chen who helped her take care of everything!
No, she doesn't believe it, she wants to find out for herself!
Xia Haitao walked up to Tang Xuyao and asked stiffly, "Did you really arrange all this?!"
"Alocasia, listen to me..." Tang Xuyao reached out to hold her hand, but she ducked aside and took two steps back.
"You just tell me, yes or no?!"
Knowing that he could no longer hide it, Tang Xuyao nodded helplessly, "Yes."
Xia Haiyu held her head with both hands, feeling that her mind was in chaos, but she suddenly had so many things to say.
"Tang Xuyao, do you think this is interesting... Is it interesting that you tried so hard to get me from China to the United States?!"
"Do you know how much I paid for this trip abroad... During that time, I only worked one or two part-time jobs, spent all my savings, and squeezed out all the time to study. I read as hard as I could, almost...
Sleepless and restless, because I know that I am not that strong, so I work very hard, I want to use my hard work to gain recognition... But in the end I find that I am an idiot, and you have arranged all this!"
"You made my life into a mess with just a word or a phone call... Why did you do this... Is it fun to bring me to the United States, a place I am unfamiliar with? You do me
Is it fun to be my student? Is it fun for you to be my neighbor?!"
"You said it was because of your liking...but your liking...makes me very uncomfortable! It makes me very embarrassed!"
…
Xia Haitao held back her tears. She didn't want to cry, she couldn't cry, but the grievances in her heart were really too much. She never thought that she would be deceived by him to come to the other side of the ocean!
Her body softened little by little, and she slowly squatted down and buried her head in her knees.
what to do?!
what to do?!
What on earth is she going to do?!
She is now completely trapped in the emotional whirlpool, but before accepting him, she struggled for so long, and she deeply understood the gap between her and him. She didn't want to be attached to him, and she didn't want to get any benefits from him, but she couldn't.
Unexpectedly, everything was arranged by him!
Can she still refuse now?!
No, no, she doesn't have that ability, but does she really want to muddle along under his "protection"?!
Her self-esteem, her self-confidence, her hard work, and her courage are all gone!
He stood in front of her, high and mighty, like a prince, but she was not even an ugly duckling!
Tang Xuyao froze in place. It was undeniable that he had secretly manipulated her life. If he hadn't deceived her into coming to the United States, their relationship would not have started. He understood her mood at the moment. She actually felt inferior when she was with him.
, she worked very hard to overcome everything before she was willing to accept him and be with him... He understood, really understood.
"Alocasia..." He slowly approached her, but she stepped back step by step.
No, don't force her, her mind is very confused now and she needs to think carefully.
Don't look too far, suddenly——
"Where is Chen Yi?!"
When Xia Haitao asked, Tang Xuyao was also surprised. He turned around and saw that Chen Yi had already left.
Suddenly, they seemed to have figured out a problem - Chen Yi seemed to have deliberately alienated their feelings, disrupted everything and then disappeared.
Xia Haitao took a deep breath, trying to calm down her mood, and then looked at Tang Xuyao solemnly, "Let's not quarrel now, okay...find Chen Yi first..."
"Um!"
Tang Xuyao pulled Xia Haitao into the car. Both of them were confused at the moment, but they remained calm on the surface because they both knew that some things had to be resolved sooner or later, and temporary avoidance was only temporary.

Xuyang Technology.
The few people in the hall were all stunned when they saw the person coming.
Tang Xuyao pulled Xia Haitao into the elevator in a hurry. The elevator's indicator light was on all the way until the end. Both of them looked equally tense, and they both wanted to rush out.
The employees looked at each other in confusion. What's going on? The president is so out of control!
With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened to both sides. Shao Heng came right in front of him, and the three of them bumped into each other.
"Yao, Alocasia...you..." Shao Heng was surprised when he saw something was wrong with the expressions of the two people, "What happened?!"
"Chen Yi appeared! But disappeared again!"
Shao Heng was stunned. It could be seen that the two people in front of him were quarreling, but the most important issue at the moment was not this!
Looking at his watch, Shao Heng asked cautiously, "Are you going to Australia today?!"
"I won't go for the time being." Tang Xuyao and Xia Haitao replied in unison.
◎◎◎
In an unknown place, Chen Yi sat alone, murmuring in a low voice——
Yao, Alocasia, I'm sorry, I can only use this method to prevent you from going to Australia, even if it can only be stopped for a while, it can only be like this. Because before going there, your relationship must be strong enough, otherwise...
