Teacher, give me two options

  Maybe it was his words that were too deep, maybe it was his tone that was too firm, but Liu Liuzui just looked up and stared blankly at the person in front of her, his breath, his eyebrows, his smile like sunshine, all appeared in her dreams every time, for a moment, she had an impulse to abandon everything and be with Chen Qingchu.

  However, reason ultimately prevailed over impulse. She knew that if she really did that, given the temperament of that person, her own and Chen Qingchu's second half of life would not be good. Why should she involve so many innocent people because of her personal affairs?

  "Xiao Liang, you don't want to be with me again, are you blaming me? You know I was forced to break up with you and go to the United States back then..."

  Chen Qingchu grasped her hand and placed it on his lips, lovingly kissing it as he murmured in pain.

  "Qingchu, I know everything, I don't blame you! I don't blame you!"

  Xu Liu thought of the dark and gloomy year in her third year of high school, remembered the pain his departure brought to her, and recalled the shock she felt after learning the truth, her eyes involuntarily becoming extremely sour.

  That was the graduation dinner after the college entrance exam, when Chen Qingchu had long gone to the United States without any news. A few boys who were close to Chen Qingchu walked up to her, one of them speaking with some intoxication.

  "Xu Liu'ou, do you know why Qingchu left the country in the first place?"

  "Why?"

  She was hurt by Chen Qingchu's casual "Let's break up" which easily ended their relationship of over two years, so she also had some hostility towards his friends and asked with some disinterest.

  "Because our great Lu Zhouyue threatened him with Qingchu's company and forced him to flee to the United States!"

  Another boy said angrily.

  Today, many teachers and even school leaders came to this dinner party, but he didn't come. Perhaps it's because he didn't come that these boys dared to say such things, they also relied on the fact that they had already graduated from high school and no longer had any connection with him.

  "What?"

  She almost jumped up from her seat in an instant, looking at those boys with a shocked face.

  "Why did Teacher Lu have to do this?"

  At that time, she still respectfully called him Teacher Lu, and innocently abided by the boundaries between students and teachers. In her daily life, she vaguely sensed the deep affection he had hidden, but never thought deeply about it, and didn't expect to hear such astonishing news.

  The man said again,

  "Xu Liu'ou, you don't know, do you? You're exactly the person that our teacher Lu has a crush on!"

  It's said that those in power are confused, while onlookers see clearly. That group of boys saw right through the teacher's intentions towards her at a glance, especially Chen Qingchu. Every time he was mentioned, they would grit their teeth in hatred, but there was nothing they could do about it. He was their English teacher, and his arm couldn't twist to be stronger than his leg. Moreover, he was good friends with the school's principal, Zhuo Tingfeng. Even if they wanted to join forces to get the school to replace him, it was impossible.

  Xu Liu's face was even more shocked, and it took half a beat for him to come back to his senses, violently shaking his head.

  "Impossible! How can this be, it's too absurd!"

  As a teacher and student, this kind of relationship is the one that should not have emotional entanglements. How could he, how could he harbor such a despicable thought towards her? She recalled some of his behaviors, words, and gazes in the past, and couldn't help but feel shocked and terrified.

  "It's said that he stayed at our school to teach because of you, otherwise, with him running such a big company and his father being the famous Lu Fangting, why would he be willing to stay in a school as a teacher?"

  She couldn't remember what they said after that, she just sat there listlessly pouring wine into her cup and drinking it mouthful by mouthful, the news was too stunning, she desperately needed something to numb her aching nerves.

  She said how could her Qingchu be so ruthless as to cut off their two-year relationship? It turned out that she was forced to do so!

  She bitterly recounted her helplessness in leaving far away, she hated the man who wore a teacher's outer garment with despicable shamelessness and unscrupulous means, she hated him for ruining her first love that she relied on to survive, forcing away the person she used all her strength to love, gritting her teeth with hatred.

  In her overwhelming grief and indignation, she had that absurd night. That evening, she actually wanted to kill him, but her anger and bitterness, faced with his calm and composed demeanor, suddenly became incredibly insignificant.

  She often wonders if it's all her fault, one misstep after another. That night she shouldn't have provoked him; if she hadn't, he might not still be obsessed with her.

  She just didn't know that no matter whether she had provoked him that night or not, he would have gone after her anyway, it was only a matter of time.

  "No! Xiao Liang, you don't know, he's done far more than that!"

  Chen Qingchu perhaps had just recalled those past events with her, and a hint of hatred gradually welled up in her eyes.

  "Don't you suspect why I didn't return home for three years and had no news at all?"

  He said that, and Xu Liu hurriedly raised her eyes to look at him. She had also been heartbroken about this issue all along. If he hadn't been sincere about going abroad in the first place, why didn't he contact her after going abroad? As long as he spoke up, she would wait for him, no matter how long it took. But he didn't.

  Three years of no news made her heart, which had been expecting him, gradually fade away. Sometimes she would even think that maybe he had found a new home abroad and abandoned her, so he didn't want to contact her.

  Chen Qingchu gritted her teeth and said,

  "Since I didn't really want to break up with you, even if I went abroad, I could still keep in touch with you. But he somehow managed to make the embassy not allow me to return home and not allow me to contact anyone domestically!"

  Xu Liu's face was first filled with shock, then anger and pain, but eventually she regained her calm and weakly curled up the corners of her mouth in a self-mocking smile. How could she not have thought of this? This was that person's tactic - since they had broken them apart, they wouldn't give them any chance to rekindle even the slightest spark.

  The man's means are truly vicious and cruel. He may have seen through it long ago, that time and distance will distort the original loving couple beyond recognition.

  Chen Qingchu looked at her calm and peaceful face, asking her with a pained expression

  "Xiao Liang, how can you be so calm? Don't you hate him?"

  "Hate?"

  She smiled wryly and tilted her head back, downing the coffee in one gulp. The bitter taste slid through her mouth and into her stomach, instantly numbing her entire body.

  "He has done too many things that make me hate him, and it doesn't matter if he does this one thing!"

  What she said seemed easy, but in her heart it was incredibly heavy and desperate, how could she hate him more? Who can tell her, how could hating him do anything? Shouldn't she stab a knife into his heart when he's asleep at night? She knows he has no defense against her, as long as she wants to, she can completely kill him with one knife.

  Perhaps she realized her thoughts were too vicious, so she quickly snapped out of it and changed the subject by asking Chen Qingchu.

  "How can you come back now?"

  Chen Qingchu's eyes dodged slightly and muttered.

  "Perhaps he thinks I'm no longer a threat to him."

  She smiled wryly and turned her head to look out the window. What's the use, anyway? She had already married him. Even if Chen Qingchu came back now, what could be done? The uncooked rice had long been cooked into a mature meal!

  She had too much pain in her heart, so she didn't think about the evasiveness in Chen Qingchu's eyes. Chen Qingchu might have had something on his mind, and he also fell silent. In an instant, the two people who originally loved each other deeply suddenly reached a point where they had nothing to say to each other.

  Shen Yuan's office, Lu Zhou squinted at the photos handed to him by his subordinates and calmly called her.

  "Xu Liu'ou, you now have two choices: either move to Yu Cuilan Ting from today and live there, or continue living in school, but never see Chen Qingchu again!"

  She fell silent for a moment, then furiously scolded him.

  "Are you having someone follow me?"

  He smiled coldly.

  "Do you think it's immoral and wrong for me to do this?"

  "Yes!"

  She replied without hesitation, her voice suddenly sharp and pressing.

  "Then ask around, is there any man who doesn't mind his wife being intimate with her ex-boyfriend? If you can find such a broad-minded man, then I'll admit that what I did was wrong!"

  She was choked with rage, he heard her faintly heavy breathing on the other end of the line due to anger, she who had always been quick-witted in front of him couldn't refute a single word for the first time, he let out a cold snort and directly hung up the phone.

  Actually, he didn't intentionally ask someone to follow her. He just happened to hear at a business meeting in the afternoon that Chen Qingchu, the young chairman of the Chen family, was originally scheduled to attend the meeting today, but for some reason, she unexpectedly absconded without cause.

  He then sent someone to investigate her, and as a result, it was just as he had expected. They were not only together but also holding hands in the coffee shop, looking sorrowful, presumably telling each other about their longing for the past three years.

  He coldly smiled and pressed the DELETE key on the keyboard, deleting all those photos.

  It is said that if you love someone too much, that person will not love you. He thought Lu Zhou had fulfilled this curse.

  Suddenly I found that this article was written with great care, unprecedented care, every word and every sentence, I repeatedly weighed and considered.
