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.
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.
