C29 (1/2)
After drinking for a while, Tao Zi finally said, ”I know the truth, but I probably care too much about it. Sigh, after all, for a man, this kind of thing is hard to accept. I would rather she confessed to me than lie to me like this.”
”Mhmm, I understand your feelings …”
”Shu Jing, can you help me analyze who the man with Xue Lu was?”
”Ah?” ”How can you analyze this?”
I was a little confused. From the information I had gathered, that person should be from our school. Moreover, there are some aspects that have deeply attracted Xue Lu to him, making her love him to the bone. The problem is, just from these situations, how can I deduce the other party's identity?
There were so many people in the school that we couldn't be sure if that person was our classmate or even completely sure that he was definitely in our school.
After some thought, I suddenly thought of something.
Three years ago, when we were in our third year of university, Xue Lu and that person were probably close at that time, but later on, there was nothing else. Tao Zi was unable to find out from Sister Hua why and when Xue Lu broke up.
From the looks of it, Xue Lu still frequently went to that coffee shop to drink coffee. Xue Lu still loved that person, but she knew that the two of them would not end up together, or it could be said that she knew that person would never appear again.
Then, who was that person?
Three years ago, something big happened in our dorm. Fourth Bro Yang Wenchao was mysteriously killed, Li Fengyun vanished into thin air, and I was forced to leave school to receive inhumane treatment from the treatment center. Second Bro Xie Cong went back to his hometown to rent a house by himself, and died not long after due to a fire.
The person I thought might be in love with Xue Lu was number four, Yang Wenchao.
Yang Wenchao's family background was superior, and his looks were also not bad. Furthermore, it was very possible that he was a semi-finished product of the ”Superman Project”, and his IQ was higher than that of an ordinary person.
If such a person were to use his own intelligence to pursue a girl, he should be able to catch up to Xue Lu.
On the other hand, as a semi-finished product, Yang Wenchao had many advantages that ordinary people didn't have. These advantages were enough to deeply attract the cold Xue Lu.
The two of them were secretly in love, but Yang Wenchao might not be in love with her. His girlfriend usually doesn't have a heart of gold.
Playboy Yang Wenchao hurt Xue Lu. That night, after the night when Xue Luye didn't return, Yang Wenzhao began to abandon the game, but after Xue Lu was injured, she still loved Yang Wenchao deeply.
Not long after that, Yang Wenchao died. Xue Lu realized that her lover would never come back, so she often went to that café to drink coffee with Yang Wenchao in order to reminisce about the man she loved the most.
But she also knew that Yang Wenchao was already dead, so she couldn't possibly defend his festival alone. After half a year of wild bombardment by Tao Zi who bought milk tea, Xue Lu accepted the challenge, but was still unable to forget Yang Wencai.
Of course, this was all hypothetical.
But if we think about it all together, this hypothesis is very likely to be true.
No matter how he thought about it, he wasn't sure if he should tell this hypothesis to Tao Zi. He just felt that if he said it out loud, it would hurt him even more …
In the end, I chose to remain silent.
Tao Zi drank too much, talked about how much he loved Xue Lu, how much he had suffered and cried as he spoke. No matter how much I tried to comfort her, it was to no avail.
After he had cried for more than ten minutes, the phone rang.
I glanced at the note on the phone. It was the name of my lover.
Taozi's phone was ringing, and I didn't hear what they were saying.
”Darling, why aren't you home yet and eating with someone else?” Xue Lu's coquettish voice came over the phone.
”Oh, I'll be back soon.”
After Tao Zi said this, he immediately hung up the phone. Xue Lu still had something else on the phone that she hadn't finished …
”I'm going home. Sorry for troubling you about that bitch.” Tao Zi stood up and said with an expressionless face.
He'd been drinking a lot, and his mind was a little muddled. I knew he must be having a lot of trouble, and when he went back in a rage, he might do something he shouldn't.
”I'll send you off.”
Tao Zi stared at me for a few seconds, then nodded. ”Okay!”
They took a taxi to his house, and Taozi told me to go back, but I was still afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself from doing something extreme, so I insisted on seeing him into the house.
Tao Zi agreed, and when the two of them arrived at his house, they saw the thin clothed Xue Lu standing outside the door …
She was worried that Tao Zi would drink too much and come out to wait.
It was clear from this detail that she loved him very much, but not to the extent that she loved that person.
