The playground at dusk is a very magical place, especially the playground at dusk in summer.
Of the hundred things that happen here, at least ninety-nine are related to hormones.
"Hello, Teacher Wu."
"Running at night, Teacher Wu?"
"Professor Wu……"
Wu Aike passed by the playground, and her classmates greeted her one after another. She kept a reserved and elegant smile, stopped her back as much as possible, stretched her neck as long as possible, and breathed as calmly as possible.
She didn't run fast, but she was very tired, because almost everyone she met along the way greeted her, and she had to keep nodding, smiling, and staying elegant.
With her experience and eyesight, she could naturally see the suppressed desire and greed hidden deep in the eyes of these students who tried their best to pretend to be calm, shy, respected or admired. She could even smell their turbulent heartbeats.
She is proud of this.
She is no longer young, but she is still as beautiful and noble as she was in her prime. She enjoys the attention-grabbing atmosphere and is intoxicated with the happiness and satisfaction of being sought after by everyone.
But she doesn't mess around. On the contrary, she is very clean. She has only had three boyfriends in total since she was young until now, and her third boyfriend, the current one, is still with her until now.
During the inspection period, she didn't let him touch her body.
In this materialistic age, it is a rare thing for a beautiful girl to have only had three boyfriends in more than ten years.
This is not sarcasm, but fact.
Compared to 90% of girls in the world, Wu Aike is really clean.
She comes from a well-to-do family and has outstanding beauty. She has almost never suffered any loss except for one man since she was a child.
I didn't suffer any losses, it just went very smoothly.
And living a very smooth life often means living a very ordinary life.
Wu Aike doesn't like such dullness, she prefers her life to be vigorous.
But she is timid, and she has always had an unspeakable fear and rejection of stepping out of her comfort zone.
In the past, she was always unwilling to give in. She wanted to work hard and live a different life, but her two ex-boyfriends taught her a lesson and told her two truths, so she settled down.
.
From then on, she gradually lived a life that was envied by everyone. Enjoying the atmosphere of being in the spotlight and indulging in the obsessed eyes of men were one of her few hobbies, or in other words, bad tastes.
After running across the playground, Wu Aike still maintained an elegant jog, although she was very tired at this time.
Most of the self-control of ordinary people does not come from will, but from the outside world's view of themselves. This is a very strange fact.
When passing the cafeteria, Wu Aike felt a little irritable for no reason.
"His case should be closed soon, right? Is the murderer Zhang Chao?" She was so distracted that she didn't notice a boy who mustered up the courage to say hello to her.
Jiang Yang was her first love. This man taught her the greatest truth, that is: everything you do has a price. If you can't afford the price, then don't do it as soon as possible, or give up as soon as possible.
When Jiang Yang took over that fatal case, it was Wu Aike who instigated him.
Jiang Yang originally didn't want to take risks, but at that time Wu Ai didn't know the heights of the world and was full of passion. He insisted on letting Jiang Yang get justice. Jiang Yang had no choice but to accept it in order not to disappoint his girlfriend.
As a result, the danger of this case was far beyond the two's expectations. Wu Aike's father, as a senior official of the Public Security Bureau, was still holding back and did not dare to intervene, which made Wu Aike want to quit.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yang became more and more courageous and persisted.
Later, Jiang Yang proposed to break up in order not to involve Wu Aike, and Wu Aike agreed. Because she was afraid, even her father, who had always been omnipotent in her mind, was afraid. How could she not be afraid?
Some people value love above all else, while some people value morality above everything else...
Everyone has a very important belief, but the belief of most people is very simple, that is - to live peacefully.
In Wu Aike's eyes, surviving safely is above all else.
So her and Jiang Yang's breakup was doomed. Their basic outlook on life was different. Even if there hadn't been that case, they would have broken up sooner or later because of other things.
This large cafeteria carries some memories of Wu Aike and Jiang Yang. Although she has never visited Jiang Yang for so many years, in fact, Jiang Yang has always had a very high status in her mind. So she learned that Jiang Yang
After the news of Yang's death, she had been very sad.
If Jiang Yang taught her how to live a more plain but satisfying life, then her second boyfriend has allowed her to maintain her character of sticking to her duty and not stepping out of her comfort zone.
The union with her second boyfriend was the most rebellious and exciting thing she had ever done in her life. Unfortunately...
Wu Aike shook his head.
This was a painful experience that she didn't want to remember.
"Hello, Teacher Wu."
A slightly familiar voice interrupted Wu Aike's thoughts. She came back to her senses, smiled politely at the boy who greeted her, and ran past him with a light body.
But at this moment, Wu Aike suddenly realized something was wrong.
She stopped suddenly and her expression suddenly changed.
She turned back in disbelief and looked at the boy who had just greeted her.
Looking at this familiar smiling face, Wu Aike was stunned, and his mind went blank.
How evil!
How could she not know this man?
Her second boyfriend!
I only got along with her for three months, but she didn't get over the shadow of broken love for three years.
There was a time when she even wanted this man to die.
But she was too timid. Even if she had the courage to scold him face to face, she didn't have the courage.
Later, she no longer hated him and didn't even want to think about He Xie or recall this person anymore.
The biggest lesson this man taught her was - never take risks!
"It's you..." Wu Aike's expression was complicated. After so many years of separation, she didn't expect to meet He Xie again, and it was downstairs in her dormitory.
Did he come specifically to find me?
What does he want to do?
What if he comes to me to rekindle his old relationship?
Wu Aike, don’t agree to him!
Wu Aike's heart turned over and over again, looking at He Xie, and for a moment he stared deeply, speechless and silent.
He Xie has a much calmer mind.
In He Xie's mind, Wu Aike was just an ex-girlfriend with whom he had a deep relationship.
He took the initiative to break up with Wu Aike, so his feelings for Wu Aike are not strong, and can even be said to be very dull.
This time, if the case that the protagonist Yan Liang was dealing with had nothing to do with Wu Aike, he would not even consciously think of Wu Aike.
"It's me," He Xie said with a smile, "Are you okay?"
Cafe.
This is a coffee shop far away from the campus. Wu Aike didn’t want to be seen by the students with a strange man, so he immediately drove He Xie to this remote coffee shop 20 kilometers away from the school.
cafes.
The lights were dimmed, the music was mellow, and Wu Aike finally felt much calmer.
"I didn't expect you to come to me." She stirred the coffee with a careless smile, "You were so determined to leave back then. No matter how much I begged you, you had to break up with me..."
After a pause, Wu Aike shook his head with a smile and said as if he was joking: "I think I was quite stupid at the time, as if I was obsessed with something. Fortunately, I didn't wake up too late."
He Xie looked at her with a smile, seemingly unaware of Wu Aike's little tricks of "grasping the upper hand" and "taking the initiative" revealed in his words.
"Actually, you haven't changed at all compared to before." He Xie said with a smile, "Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other for more than three years, right?"
"Remember it so clearly? I forgot about it." Wu Aike took a sip of coffee, "It's not an important matter after all."
He Xie sighed: "Wu Aike, do you know why I had to break up with you back then?"
Wu Aike's hand holding the cup tightened, and his heart beat twice rapidly, but on the surface he pretended not to care and said: "It's not important anymore, it's all over. He Xie, you should be like me and completely let go."
, don’t think about it.”
He Xie smiled: "Although I don't want to expose you, your duplicity makes me feel some intimacy."
Wu Aike glared at He Xie fiercely and changed the subject: "Tell me, what do you want from me? You didn't come all the way to see me, just to catch up on old times, right? In my impression, you are not that boring.
"
"It's really that boring." He Xie sighed, "Today I just talked about old times, nothing happened."
"Haha." Wu Aike expressed his doubts with a sneer, "He Xie, I have a boyfriend now."
She gave a reminder.
"I know, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to come to you." He Xie said.
"What do you mean?" Wu Aike was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened, and his face turned unkind, "Are you trying to express that you are afraid that I will pester you? He Xie, I was blind when I took the initiative to pursue you.
I have been extremely regretful these past few years! Don’t think you can’t survive if I leave you!”
"You misunderstood." He Xie waved his hand, "I just felt that I didn't say goodbye properly back then. I didn't even say take care of myself when we separated. This time I come to you to completely bring an end to the relationship between the two of us."
Wu Aike stood up and said angrily: "He Xie, I tell you, the end between us has long been over!"
She couldn't explain why she was angry. He Xie didn't come here to get back together!
She picked up her bag and turned around to leave.
But at this moment, He Xie faintly said two words: "Jiang Yang."
Wu Aike, who was about to leave, suddenly froze in place as if he was under a spell.
She turned around slowly and asked He Xie expressionlessly: "He Xie, what do you mean?"
"When we broke up, it had something to do with Jiang Yang." He Xie said, "The fact that I came to see you today actually had something to do with Jiang Yang."
Wu Aike's complexion changed, but in the end he sat back silently.
"Do you know He Xie?" Wu Aike suddenly said, "I don't care what reasons you have, but when you broke up with me without saying anything, you were a bastard!"
At the end of the story, Wu Aike's eyes turned red and her voice became louder. She still couldn't let go.
"I'm eight years older than you. When we were together, we were already under greater pressure." She glared at He Xie, "Especially when my every move was watched by people. In order to be with you, I took the first step.
The first step, do you know how much courage I used?"
"But you're lucky. You've been sleeping with me for three months. We obviously get along well, but you want to break up with me without saying anything!" Wu Aike's tears finally fell.
He Xie deeply attracted her back then, giving her the fatal attraction to step out of her comfort zone, making her pursue this boy who was eight years younger than her at all costs. It could be considered a teacher-student love affair.
But the relationship was raging, and He Xie suddenly broke up. At that time, Wu Aike was even fantasizing about how to tell her father about her and He Xie.
This was like a bolt from the blue. Wu Aike felt like she was being scummed, but she didn't dare to publicize it because her relationship with He Xie had always been private and secret.
In the end, the two of them died like this.
"Something happened at home at that time," He Xie said.
If it weren't for the purpose of resolving the cause and effect, He Xie would probably never mention this matter in front of Wu Aike.
"At that time, my father was seriously ill and needed a lot of money for surgery." He Xie explained.
Wu Aike sneered: "Make it up, keep making it up! During the three months you were with me, I spent most of the money on our dates. I don't believe you can't see that I'm not that kind of materialistic girl at all!"
"
"You are not materialistic Wu Aike," He Xie said, "but you are very realistic. At that time, my father needed millions of dollars for surgery and sold my house. I still owed a foreign debt of 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. If I only owed
I believe you will share the joys and sorrows with me, but my Qin family owes so much money after the bankruptcy, and what’s more terrible is that I have to quit my job in the system. Wu Aike, if you
Knowing this, would you still choose to be with me?"
Wu Aike was stunned, a little surprised and uncertain: "You... are you telling the truth?"
He Xie smiled: "I know you very well, Wu Aike. Love is the icing on the cake for you, not everything you have. When the things you need to pay for exceed your expectations, you must
Know how to measure and retreat, just like you did to Jiang Yang back then."
"I never mentioned Jiang Yang to you..." Wu Aike looked at He Xie blankly.
"There are very few things that can be hidden from me." He Xie said lightly, "Wu Aike, you wanted to break up with Jiang Yang for a long time back then, but in the end you still forced Jiang Yang to speak first. I know that you used your
My character, my situation at that time will definitely make you flinch, so I might as well mention it first to avoid everyone being embarrassed and not looking good."
"But I don't blame you, it's a consensual thing." He Xie finally smiled.
In fact, he never blamed Wu Aike. Wu Aike pursued him back then. He was beautiful, had a good personality, and had a high status. Being his girlfriend would definitely be a face-saving thing. He had no reason to refuse, so he agreed.
His reason for breaking up was true. He didn't know whether Wu Aikai loved him or not, but he really didn't love Wu Aike that much, so he could analyze Wu Aike's reaction so calmly.
He really didn't blame Wu Aike. After all, Wu Aike was recognized by the school as a goddess and a mentor at the time. The teacher-student relationship was already shocking. Once it was announced, Wu Aike would definitely be criticized.
It would be fine if He Xie had always been outstanding, but once he fell into decline, Wu Aike would be in trouble. He would be ridiculed by many people and face more pressure.
The time the two of them got together was short, and there was no deep emotional basis. It was just a hormonal impulse at most, so He Xie calmly recognized the reality and acted first.
