Chapter 82 – Previous Life, This Life (1/2)

Xu Qingwei also seemed to realize his slip of tongue, since he quickly corrected himself, “Hello, I’m Xu Qingwei from the second year of this faculty!”

I silently shook hands with him, then said to Zhao Yanyan, “Yanyan, go to class first, I have some business with Hu Qingwei!”

Zhao Yanyan looked at me confusingly, then said carefully, “What are you guys going to do…”

I smiled, “ Don’t worry, nothing unhappy will happen between us. I’m finding him for some other matters.”

“Oh, then hurry, I’ll grab a seat for you in class!” With that, Zhao Yanyan walked away with her books.

“Assistant Director Xu, long time no see. Hehe!” I said while pretending to be very casual.

“Yeah…” Xu Qingwei’s expression suddenly changed, and quickly said. “Classmate Liu, what did you say?”

“Assistant Director Xu, you don’t need to pretend. I don’t want to mention the stuff from back then. Let’s go, just treat today as us catching up. Find somewhere, it’ll be my treat,” Although I said it very casually, my heart was tum

“Ai!” Xu Qingwei sighed. “I thought only I came back. I didn’t think that Director Liu did to, so I’ll accept the offer.”

Following that, the two of us arrived at a bar not far from school. It was the afternoon, so the bar was very quiet, it was a very suitable place for conversation since there wasn’t a noisy DJ like there would be at night.

“Director Liu, I have wronged you back then!” Xu Qingwei finally said something after a drink.

“Never mind, let bygones be bygones, don’t mention it anymore,” I waved my hand and said.

“No, Director Liu, you don’t understand! Let me finish, otherwise I would feel terrible!” Xu Qingwei slowly said something that completely shocked me. “The person that Zhao Yanyan liked back then is you! She agreed to my proposal… I know the reason was because she wanted to anger you!”

My heart shook, and the glass I just picked up suddenly slid onto the floor and smashed into smithereens. Even after getting covered in the wine that I spilled, I did not notice it at all.

Seeing this, the waiter rushed over to clean up, but Xu Qingwei stopped him. Instead, he took out a few hundred yuan notes, stuffed it into his hand and said, “Go back for now.”

I did not notice this at all as I fell into infinite thoughts.

I always thought that Zhao Yanyan liked Xu Qingwei in my previous life, I didn’t think that there would be more to it. This caused me to suddenly think back to the words Zhao Yanyan said to me when she got into an accident. Was it all true? Did I cause Zhao Yanyan to marry Xu Qingwei because of my denseness?

“Actually, I had a selfish reason back then. I had a crush on Zhao Yanyan ever since university, I thought that if I could make the false thing true, I could… Director Liu, I’m sorry! On the day that happened to you, Yanyan couldn’t take it and committed suicide. The more I thought about it, the more I felt like I wronged you, you had promoted me up, giving me the chance, allowed me to climb up to the position of an assistant director from a normal programmer, yet I treated you like that! But I really love Zhao Yanyan a lot, thus, I…” Xu Qingwei said a bit painfully.

“Never mind, it’s something from a long time ago,” I sighed and calmed myself down. “Then how did you come back?”

“I don’t know, I regretted it a lot, and felt that if I lived, then I couldn’t face you and Zhao Yanyan, thus I got hot headed and ate the rest of the sleeping pills. In the end, when I woke up, I found myself having returned to my university days…” Xu Qingwei shook his head. “I didn’t think that you came back as well… I… I wanted to get Zhao Yanyan before you appear, I didn’t think that you already…”
