Teacher, let me off, I won't come back

  Xu Liu'er had not appeared again since that morning when she went to the hospital to see Lu Zhouyue, until he was discharged from the hospital. Lu Zhouyue's mood, which had just recovered, became gloomy again in these few days. He didn't know if she was really busy or if she was scared off by his kiss that day.

  If he could, he wouldn't want to scare her like that either, but when facing her, he did these things completely out of control. Heaven knows how much he wanted to hold her red lips opening and closing in front of him deeply and kiss them, heaven knows how much he wanted to take her into his arms and hug her tightly when she sat quietly with her head down and eyes lowered!

  When he left the hospital in the afternoon, the weather was gloomy and overcast, just like his face. He felt inexplicably anxious and restless. Lin Shanni saw right through him and reported diligently.

  "Miss Xu has a part-time job at the convenience store tonight and will be off work around 10 o'clock!"

  He snorted and sat in the car, he knew she had always lived a hard life, but now under his wings, as his legitimate wife, she owned several hundred million worth of property, yet still worked to death, making it clear that she wanted to draw a line with him.

  It started raining in the evening, and it got heavier and heavier until it became a torrential downpour. He, who was working in his study, glanced at the time, grabbed his car keys, and rushed into the rain. Leaving at this time allowed him to drive to the convenience store where she worked and pick her up right after her shift ended.

  He was thinking like this, but his eyes were severely pierced by the scene at the entrance of the convenience store.

  At ten o'clock sharp, Xu Liu'er left the convenience store on time, dragging her tired body out. She raised her head to see a person standing in the heavy rain, holding an umbrella and gazing deeply at her. Her vision went black and she almost fainted, but a pair of familiar large hands reached out just in time to support her.

  She stood there in shock, staring at the man opposite her, not daring to blink for a moment, afraid that when she closed and opened her eyes again, he would disappear like every time he appeared in her dreams. He was more handsome than three years ago, wearing a tailored expensive suit, looking like a capable white-collar worker, the only difference being that his face and eyes emitted a calm glow that had been tempered by the years, this him, was completely unfamiliar to her, yet expected.

  At that time, they were still young and had once fantasized together about the day when they would both enter society and start working. He would wear a suit and leather shoes, while she would wear a suit and high heels. Because both of them were casual people who usually dressed very casually, it was hard to imagine such a formal scene, so they both laughed uncontrollably.

  It's just that such laughter and applause, after a long time, have already become unrecognizable.

  In an instant, her mind flashed through the sweet scenes they had shared together, and then returned to the cold reality of the present moment.

  "Green and pure..."

  She murmured the name that had been lingering on her mind for days, painfully closing her eyes as tears gushed out from her eye sockets. Chen Qingchu held an umbrella with one hand and stretched out the other to gently pull her into his embrace.

  "Xiao Li, I'm back!"

  Xu Liu Yu suddenly burst into tears in his arms, saying that they wouldn't see each other again, saying that from now on they would be strangers. But at this moment, he was standing alive and well in front of her, with a gentle "I'm back" that shattered all her pretenses, and she ultimately... didn't push away his embrace.

  In the distance, a silver Range Rover was battered by the heavy rain, losing its usual majesty and grandeur, suddenly becoming desolate and bleak. Inside the car, Lu Zhou's eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly at the embracing couple, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly they seemed about to snap it in two.

  It's not that he can't accept her meeting Chen Qingchu again, what he can't accept is that on a night when she needs care and comfort, Chen Qingchu appears in front of her before him. This makes him feel somewhat disheartened and think: Does this mean that he will never be able to catch up with her in this lifetime? He's always one step behind Chen Qingchu, in high school and now too.

  In the closed compartment, he felt that the air was not enough to breathe, and his chest was like being pressed by a huge stone, suffocating him. He lowered the window slightly, and the sound of raindrops hitting the glass outside brought him back to his senses. With a gloomy face, he took out his phone to call her, she had married him as his wife, this was his biggest and only trump card.

  He saw her through the rain and fog, still ignoring the ringing phone as she hugged Chen Qingchu tightly, then stubbornly and relentlessly calling again and again. In fact, he could have rushed down to pull her into the car and leave, but that would only make him appear utterly lacking in demeanor. What he wanted was for her to walk into his arms voluntarily in front of that man.

  Finally, the ringing was too stubborn, and the two people who were embracing each other had to separate. He saw her lower her head to dig out her phone, and he also saw that after seeing the incoming call display was him, she looked at Chen Qingchu in horror and then covered the phone and turned around with her back facing Chen Qingchu to answer it. His mouth corners rose with a smug and vengeful arc.

  "I'm waiting for you across the street, come over immediately!"

  "I'm not going!"

  Her sharp and hysterical refusal came through, he found his smile in the rearview mirror deeper but also more dangerous.

  "My words are never repeated! Also, I think I should remind you, don't forget your current identity, Mrs. Lu!"

  The last three words, he spat out one by one with gritted teeth. He said and then immediately hung up the phone, not giving her any reason to redeem herself. Then he saw her tightly gripping the phone.

  Slumped down weakly like that.

  The boy, no, now should say the man, rushed over with a worried face and helped her up, seemingly asking her what happened. He tossed his phone aside and leaned lazily against the back of the chair waiting for her.

  Facing Chen Qingchu's anxious inquiry, Xu Liuwei was pale and biting her lip without saying a word. The man's phone call just now, and the last three cold words, were like a nightmare that suddenly awakened her from this moment's illusory dream.

  She hastily brushed aside Chen Qingchu's hand which was pulling her arm and didn't dare look him in the eye again.

  "It's too late, I should head back!"

  "I'll send you back to school!"

  Chen Qingchu wouldn't give up and hastily pulled her back, her tears suddenly fell again, then she raised the corner of her mouth in a self-mocking smile. School? If she could still return to school tonight, that would be great!

  Chen Qingchu was frightened by her crying and laughing, threw away the umbrella in his hand, stepped forward and tightly held her in his arms, asking with a heartache.

  "Xiao Li, what's wrong with you? Tell me, okay? Don't scare me..."

  They say that there is no sorrow greater than the death of one's heart. At this moment, she, who had reached the depths of despair, was instead unusually calm. She gently pushed open Chen Qingchu and said calmly:

  "Sorry Qingchu, I'm married!"

  Then, covering her mouth, she turned and rushed into the rain mist with a look of astonishment in Chen Qingchu's wide-open eyes.

  "Xiao Li——"

  Behind her, Chen Qingchu's desperate and hopeless cry echoed, she ran wildly without stopping for a moment and rushed into the silver car that was lurking on the opposite side.

  Lu Zhouyue almost pressed her into the passenger seat and kissed her fiercely as soon as she rushed into the car with her clothes drenched and disheveled, he shook down all the windows, everything he did in the car would be displayed vividly in front of Chen Qingchu.

  She was wearing a short-sleeved sweater, and he suddenly tore open her shirt in a somewhat crazy manner, even pulling down the shoulder strap of her bra, then buried his head in her chest and ravaged it, completely disregarding the fact that they were still on the street. Fortunately, it was raining and late at night, so there were few pedestrians around.

  She didn't know if her heart had become numb or if she had already given up, and there was no resistance at all. She just let him kiss her with a wooden expression, until he kissed her collarbone, then her neck, and finally reached her lips, only to taste the salty tears.

  He finally got up from her, panting, and the man opposite him had a face twisted in anger. He let out a cold hum, rolled up the window, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped past Chen Qingchu's face, kicking up a loud splash of water.

  Xu Liu'er never thought that one day she would meet Chen Qingchu again, and it would be in such a humiliating and threatened state. She thought she would at least tell him elegantly and calmly that she was married, but she didn't expect it to be in such a flustered and disheveled manner.

  Lu Zhou became more and more crazily tossing the numb-faced Xu Liuwei onto the big bed, covering her body and saying viciously:

  "Xu Liu Wei, I think I should tell you something, don't reminisce! Because you can't go back! No matter how beautiful your past with him was, you'll never be able to return to it, this lifetime is destined for you to be Lu Zhouyuan's woman!"

  After her initial silence, she suddenly burst into hysterical crying and shouting at him under his body.

  "Lu Zhouyue, you beast!"

  A city that makes you unforgettable is probably because there are people you deeply love and a youth that will never return.
