Deluge - Chapter 51

[Chapter 51]

When old lovers meet, the atmosphere needs no words.

Although it’s only been over a month since we broke up, it’s not old enough to fade.

When Pei Yu came over, Xu Juan stood up straight, like a soldier waiting to be inspected by the chief, his whole body was tense and he could barely breathe.

He thought he would not be so nervous, but the reality is always unexpected, people either underestimate themselves or overestimate themselves.

Pei Yu looked much more normal than him, the long legs wrapped under suit pants stepped in front of him, and with certain steps, Pei Yu seemed surprised: “Xu Juan?”

“…”

The tone of these two words is really Doing it just right is like meeting an old friend on the side of the road. This old friend is not very close to him. Although he is not close, he can’t pretend not to see it – this is how Pei Yu feels to him.

Xu Juan’s heart was half cold, and the high expectations just now were drowned out, he forced a smile, imitating Pei Yu’s tone, trying to make the atmosphere less embarrassing: “Ah, it’s me, good afternoon. , Teacher Pei.”

Pei Yu was silent for a while, without showing any discomfort, only looked at him a few times, and then said in a businesslike tone: “I have something to do with you, but I am in a hurry to go to class now, you Can you wait for me for a while?”

“…Okay.”

What’s the matter? Xu Juan’s heart was swayed again, but Pei Yu was really in a hurry, so he turned around and went back to the direction of the library.

Xu Juan was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed: “Where am I going to wait for you? Can I go in together?”

Pei Yu turned his head and glanced at him: “Where are you going in?”

“Classroom, okay? I can’t be there. Stand outside for two classes, right? Your class is a big class, right? Although it’s okay to stand outside, but… er, it’s quite cold today, if possible, I-”

He murmured, Pei Yu With a look of impatience on his face: “Then come in.”

“…”

Pei Yu strode forward, Xu Juan touched his nose, embarrassedly hung behind him, and entered the amphitheater on the second floor with him.

This is a public elective course, the classroom is large, there are many students, and they are all students of different majors. Everyone does not know each other, and it is not particularly awkward for Xu Juan to be mixed in.

But he and Pei Yu entered the door together. He is not a low-key person himself. Even if he dresses low-key enough and looks too outstanding, it is difficult not to attract attention.

With his searching eyes, Xu Juan walked into the classroom and sat down in the middle row.

Some people discussed in a low

voice- “Hey, who is he?”

“Which major, I don’t seem to have seen it before?”

“The Chinese department? I think he came with Pei Yu.”

“No, if our department has This handsome guy, I definitely know.”

“…”

Xu Juan was too noisy, turned back at them and smiled, and immediately fell silent behind him. But the back stopped, and someone in the front row kept looking back at him, pretending to look back at the scenery inadvertently, and some people quietly took pictures with their mobile phones.

Xu Juan shook his head, a little helpless.

He was not afraid of being photographed, but Pei Yu would probably be unhappy if he disrupted the order of the class.

Sure enough, Teacher Pei knocked on the blackboard hard, with a frosty face: “Those who don’t want to go out to the class.”

“…”

So fierce, no wonder Tang Sisi is afraid of him. Xu Juan borrowed a book from a classmate next to him, stood up to cover his face, only showing a pair of eyes, staring at Pei Yu silently.

He didn’t know what Pei Yu meant by “I have something to do with you”. They broke up for more than a month, and now they can’t find an intersection if they want to get involved with each other. What matters does Pei Yu need to talk to him so solemnly?

Maybe… an excuse?

Otherwise, why didn’t you look for him early or late, but after he came to Hongda, he saw him, and suddenly something happened?

Xu Juan didn’t dare to be sentimental, but he couldn’t help but think wildly.

Objectively speaking, there are only two types of things, either emotional problems or economic problems. He and Pei Yu have almost no financial involvement, and Pei Yu is not a person who cares about things. It is impossible to break up and talk to him, ” You give back the gifts I gave you and the money I spent on you”… Although this kind of thing is quite common among couples.

Xu Juan’s thinking ran from the South Pole to the North Pole and back again.

He tried his best to think about the worst, and even made up a bloody script in his brain – after Pei Yu was hurt by him, he was unwilling and full of hatred. In order to retaliate against him, he decided to pretend to get back with him, to coax him on the surface, but in fact to follow his original method , after deceiving him and then abandoning him severely, let him taste the heartbreak.

“…”

That’s not bad, then, Xu Juan thought, he was heartbroken, suffering to the death, and he was unwilling, and then deliberately approached Pei Yu who abandoned him, pretending to get back together, but in fact, for revenge, wait for Pei Yu Put down his psychological guard, and when he is sweet with him, he will throw Pei Yu hard again – stop!

Xu Juan interrupted his thoughts of the Russian nesting dolls, and stared at Pei Yu on the podium.

When others listen to the lecture, he looks at people, no, there may be many like him, who don’t care what Pei Yu is talking about, and focus on looking at the face.

Didn’t Tang Sisi say that Mr. Pei’s class is very popular, and the seats are always full, and he doesn’t even need a roll call.

But this class was too long. At first, Xu Juan was still able to have fun and think of some interesting things to comfort himself. Later, as he counted the time, he became more and more tormented. Pei Yu’s vague attitude was like a knife hanging over him. Above his head, he didn’t want to look forward to it, but he couldn’t help looking forward to it. He wanted to open the hidden door immediately to see what was hidden inside, but he was afraid that something that would frighten him would appear after the door was opened.

Finally, get out of class is over.

Xu Juan’s ordeal came to an end, the students around him left the classroom one after another, and Pei Yu was sorting books on the podium. At this moment, someone went up to talk to him.

“Mr. Pei.”

Pei Yu turned his head and saw that it was a girl who was not tall, with long hair, and asked him with a blushing face, “I heard that you are leaving Hongda to study abroad, is that true?”

“Well. ” Pei Yu responded perfunctorily.

The girl asked again: “Then will you come back?”

“…”

Pei Yu paused, Xu Juan kept looking at him, he also looked up at Xu Juan, and then casually responded with a “don’t know”, then went around Open the girl, step down from the podium, and ask Xu Juan to go out together.

After class was the same as before class, there were many people on the road, Pei Yu was in a hurry, Xu Juan followed behind him and was led by him for a long time. Seeing that he still didn’t stop, he finally couldn’t help asking: ” Pei Yu, where are we going?”

This is a tree-lined road interspersed between buildings, but unfortunately all the leaves have fallen off this season, and the bare branches point straight to the sky, swaying a bit bleak in the knife-like cold wind .

Xu Juan looked around, there were not many people here, and if Pei Yu wanted to tell him, 80% of the time he didn’t need to avoid anyone.

“What’s the matter with you?” Xu Juan said, “Let’s talk about it here.”

Pei Yu didn’t answer, and instead asked him, “Why did you come to Hongda today? It’s a coincidence that I met you.”

“… ”

Xu Juan lowered his head, stared at the falling leaves on the ground, and smiled awkwardly: “Ah, it’s a coincidence.”

He didn’t answer directly.

It was Xu Juanxian who couldn’t hold his breath, his eyes chased the fallen leaves and drifted far away, his voice was soft, and he confessed: “Actually, I came to find you, and I heard that you are going abroad, so I… Come and see.”

“…”

“I didn’t want to disturb you, but I didn’t expect you to find out.”

It’s actually very inappropriate to say such things after breaking up. The other party will either laugh at him or hate him even more.

But Pei Yu didn’t respond very well, and was very polite: “It’s okay, it’s not a disturbance, I just wanted to find you, I have a book for you, you know?”

Xu Juan was stunned: “What book?”

Pei Yu said a book title, a long list with professional terminology, Xu Juan went in from his left ear and out of his right ear. He didn’t remember a word after hearing it, and looked at him blankly.

Pei Yu said: “The blue cover, I may have made a mistake when I packed your things for you that day. Afterwards, I wanted to look through the book to check the information, only to find that I couldn’t find it. It was a very unpopular professional book, and it is now out of print.”

“…”

Xu Juan never thought that this was the reason.

Pei Yu said again: “I didn’t want to find you anymore, but then I thought about it…”

He only said half of what he said, and left the second half for Xu Juan to comprehend.

Xu Juan understood, Pei Yu’s current attitude was calm and calm, and he seemed to have seen it. He thought that Pei Yu hated him deeply, but if there was no love, how could there be such a deep hatred? Pei Yu didn’t even hate him anymore. It can be seen that after being seriously injured, he stayed in bed for so many days, and he healed not only his body, but also his emotional wounds.

So, since the emotional wounds are healed, why give up an out-of-print book for an ex-boyfriend who has nothing to do with him?

Books are much more valuable than ex-boyfriends, so there’s no reason to be embarrassed about it.

… No wonder Pei Yu took the initiative to talk to him.

Xu Juan sighed in his heart and didn’t speak for a long time.

He didn’t speak, and Pei Yu looked at him quietly. Finally, Pei Yu was no longer in a hurry, no anger, and seemed to have endless patience with him. This was backed by good upbringing. When they first met a long time ago, Pei Yu was such a person.

Later, he destroyed Pei Yu, and now, Pei Yu is all right, so good that nothing happened in the intervening months…

“…”

Xu Juan’s nose was sore, and he immediately lowered his head and hid. Kai Pei Yu’s gaze, as if nothing had happened, said: “Okay, then do you want to go to my house to pick up the book, or should I send it over? … What is it called?”

Pei Yu said the title of the book again.

It was too long, long and mouth-watering, and Xu Juan still didn’t remember it.

“Forget it, I’ll find it myself.” Pei Yu didn’t make it difficult for him, and said politely, “Is it convenient today? I have no class now, so I can get off work early.”

“Convenient.”

Xu Juan nodded and drove by himself , take Pei Yu home.

When they broke up a month ago, Xu Juan did not expect that they would be able to calmly re-conversation so soon.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that the most hurtful thing was not the painful disputes like the sky and the earth, but the dullness and forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes.

It was four o’clock in the afternoon when we got home.

Today’s weather is not very good, the closer to the evening, the stronger the cold wind.

When Xu Juan got out of the car, he tightened his cuffs and led Pei Yu into the building door.

He didn’t speak much along the way, and he didn’t know what to say anymore. Pei Yu was probably the same way. The two of them were relatively silent. They got out of the elevator, opened the door, and entered the room.

“The books are here.” Xu Juan dragged out a suitcase from the bedroom, “You can take a look at it yourself.”

He took two steps back and asked Pei Yu to rummage through the suitcase.

Pei Yu retracted his gaze that looked around, opened the box and flipped through the book, and asked casually, “You live by yourself?”

“Well, what’s wrong?”

Pei Yu didn’t say a word, and later said, “No.”

“No? “Xu Juan was stunned for a moment.

Pei Yu said: “I didn’t find it, did you put it somewhere else?”

“No way…” Xu Juan thought for a while, “I remember that I haven’t opened it since I got it back, all the books are here, Do you look again?”

“…”

Pei Yu looked it up again, no.

Xu Juan was a little embarrassed, Pei Yu looked at him with suspicion, what was he suspicious of? Could it be that he could hide the book and deliberately not return it to Pei Yu, as a reason for the next meeting?

He has indeed played a similar drama, but it is not enough to play the cliché of “borrowing and repaying”, right?

“It’s none of my business.” Xu Juan defended himself, “Did you remember it wrong? Go home and look for it again.”

Pei Yu said, “I’ve looked for it many times, otherwise I wouldn’t come to you. ”

…”

Xu Juan felt that he couldn’t wash himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River, and said helplessly, “What should I do? What do you want to do?”
