C29 (2/2)
When Xue Lu saw me, she was somewhat surprised. Then, she smiled and said, ”Darling, you ate with Shu Jing. Quickly come in and have a seat. We haven't seen each other for a long time.
He was still expressionless, and I could imagine him trying to control his emotions.
He followed Tao Zi, Xue Lu, into the room. We sat on the sofa while Xue Lu poured tea for us.
When two cups of tea were served, Tao Zi suddenly said, ”Why don't you make some coffee?”
Xue Lu was slightly startled, but immediately smiled and said, ”No one has coffee at home and we haven't bought any. Does my darling want coffee? I'm going out to buy some now …”
”No coffee?” Don't you go to the cafe across from our school every week for a latte? ” Taozi said again.
I understand, this is a showdown.
Xue Lu immediately froze. After hesitating for a few seconds, she asked, ”Darling, you know about it?”
Tao Zi gave a cold snort. ”I am not your darling, but you know who your darling is. Tell me, who is that kid?”
After a moment of silence, she said, ”Dearest one, I didn't want you to know about this matter, for fear of hurting you. I knew you loved me, and I also loved you, so I didn't say it, I didn't want those feelings from the past to affect our relationship …”
”F * ck you, stop messing around. Your father's thoughts are always on someone else every night. I've been hiding this from you for so long, and I thought you really are a pure and clean girl. Hmph, I'm a f * cking retard …”
Xue Lu did not say anything, but the more Tao Zi spoke, the more excited he became, ”Before we were married, you said that you were against premarital sex, and I did not even kiss your lips, and on the night of our wedding, you actually made a layer of film to fool me, right? I know that there is no wall in this world, and you are just a slut, where did you do all the things you do? Your performance on the night of the wedding was too good, I actually could not see that you were pretending! Hahaha, your acting skills are really good …”
”How many times have you slept with that man? How many times did I have to do it with him? What posture did he use? ”Awesome, unhappy …”
The more Tao Zi talked, the more he began to act. I couldn't bear to listen any longer, so I kept trying to pull him away, but he wouldn't stop …
”Pah!”
With a crisp slap, Xue Lu slapped Tao Zi's face.
Tao Zi went silent and didn't fight back. He just stared at Xue Lu with anger filling his heart.
Xue Lu's face turned red and her whole body trembled. She gently bit her lower lip and two streams of clear tears flowed down …
They looked at each other for a few minutes, and I felt awkward in the middle of it, unsure of what to say to ease the atmosphere.
”Ma Bentao, everyone has a past. You have a past, I have a past too. I don't care about your past. Why are you still holding onto my past? I just want to cherish our present and future, yet you are obsessed with the past. You have truly disappointed me. ”Also, what you just said was very, very dirty.”
”I did have a relationship with him, but that relationship ended in a short period of time. My relationship with him was also extremely emotional and not as despicable as you described. I did get a room in the hotel that night, but we didn't do anything. We just talked for a while and then went to sleep. ”
You're the first man in my life and the only one. Ma Bentao, you're not like him, your sincerity has moved me, I know that I will be very happy with you, but now it seems that I am too childish.
”I still go to the café for coffee because I'm still thinking about him and thinking about him, but that doesn't mean I love him and that the person I love is you. I think of him because he gave me great help and support when I was in a difficult situation. He has many advantages, so many that he doesn't seem like a normal person. I admire his strengths, just like how I like some celebrities with outstanding acting skills.
”You are the only person I love. He is my idol, my benefactor, my mentor in times of confusion. I admire him, but I do not love him. Do you understand? ”
”Ma Bentao, I don't care about your insulting my character, but you can't say that to him. He's not the kind of person you say he is, and we didn't do anything you said. I'm hiding that feeling from you because I want to live a good life with you, lest you let your thoughts run wild.”
”Sigh, it would seem that I was mistaken. Or perhaps, I simply do not understand you at all. How could those thoughts of yours be so unbearable?”
Xue Lu sobbed and said so much, but Tao Zi's face remained expressionless.
He did not believe in Xue Lu.
But according to my observation, when Xue Lu said those words, her eyes were filled with sincerity, it didn't seem like she was lying.
”Speak, who is that person?” Taozi repeated the question.
”Alright, Tao Zi. Listen to my advice. We'll call it a day. Come out and sleep with me. Calm down.” I pulled Tao Zi, wanting him and Xue Lu to separate for the night, and wait for him to wake up from his drinking.
Xue Lu shook her head, indicating that she wouldn't say that person's name. I also believe, that it doesn't matter whether that person is Yang Wenzhao or not, don't say his name.
After a long sigh, he picked up a cup of strong tea from the table and drank it. Then he took out a cigarette, lit it, and asked me where I was going to sleep.
I took out my cell phone to study the hotel. Xue Lu turned around and walked to the window. She had calmed down a bit and no longer trembled.
Tao Zi looked at Xue Lu's back, patted his own forehead, and let out another long sigh.
I understand, Tao Zi is in love with Xue Lu, he is regretting the words he said, those were drunk words.
Tao Zi agreed to sleep with me and stay calm for the night before coming back to deal with his relationship with Xue Lu.
