Chapter 524: Hello, Old 3
In a private room in a cafe.
Xie Yan's eyes were red as he picked up the cup and took a sip.
"Sisi, do you know? That was my first love..." Xie Yan's voice was a little hoarse, as if the memories made his throat sore.
The sunlight from outside the window shines through the gauze curtains, sprinkling onto his face in patches, outlining the boundary between light and dark in his facial contours.
His eyes revealed deep attachment and regret, and his thoughts seemed to have returned to that youthful and beautiful time.
"We were all very young at that time. On the playground of the university campus, her smile was like the brightest flower in spring." Xie Yan's mouth corners rose unconsciously, as if that smile was right in front of him.
"She always wears a high ponytail, and when she runs, the ponytail swings back and forth, full of energy."
"To be honest, she was my favorite type at that time..."
Sisi sat quietly opposite him, without interrupting him, but just looked at him curiously and asked him to continue.
Xie Yan's eyes became a little blurry. "I thought we would continue like this, go to school together, graduate together, work together, and then start a happy family."
He paused, his voice trembling slightly: "But when I saw that photo, everything changed..."
Xie Yan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "In the end, I broke up with her. I couldn't accept betrayal..."
Xie Yan lowered his eyes, lost in painful memories. "In that photo, she was hugging another man intimately, and the smile on her face was the sweetest I had ever seen."
"At that moment, my world seemed to collapse. The vows we made to each other suddenly became so ridiculous and fragile."
"Even when I proposed breaking up, she didn't admit her mistake, nor did she try to save the situation. I felt like a joke..."
"After the breakup, I felt like a walking corpse. Every corner we had walked through together became a sharp blade that pierced my heart."
"After that, I would go out except for the required classes. The rest of the time I would just lie in bed and stare at the ceiling."
"Especially when it's late at night and everyone is asleep, the heartache and loss will still come over me."
"During that time, I felt that I had lost the ability to love and be loved. When I saw other couples walking hand in hand on the street, I felt only endless bitterness in my heart. I even began to doubt whether it was because I didn't do well enough that this happened."
"It was them... They have been comforting me, persuading me, accompanying me, and helping me get out of the haze..."
"He...they?" Sun Sisi frowned: "Are you talking about your three roommates?"
Sun Sisi had once heard Xie Yan mention that his university dormitory had four people in one room, but Sun Sisi had never seen the other three people in the dormitory.
Xie Yan rarely mentioned these three people. Even Sun Sisi didn't know their names and had never seen their photos.
I originally thought that Xie Yan didn’t have a good relationship with his roommates, so he didn’t want to mention it.
But now hearing Xie Yan's story, Sun Sisi was a little confused.
"Yes...it's them..." Xie Yan's eyes revealed a hint of gratitude and warmth.
"At that time, I closed myself off and was hostile to the whole world."
"But they didn't give up on me. They stayed with me and chatted with me every day, even though I ignored them at first." Xie Yan's voice was slightly choked.
“The dormitory leader is a calm person who doesn’t say much.
"The second one is the exact opposite of the first one. He is a chatterbox. He talks all day in the dormitory. I was actually quite annoyed with him at that time..."
"I am the fourth child. As for the third child, he is thoughtful and considerate. He will quietly help me pack my things, bring me meals, and take care of my daily life."
"Sometimes when I don't like to move, he will wash my socks and underwear and pour water for me to wash my feet..."
"Wait!" Sun Sisi seemed to have heard something incredible. "The third roommate washes your socks? Washes your underwear? This...you..."
Xie Yanqing said “hmm”: “I was in a really bad state at that time, and I also told the third brother that there was no need to do this.”
"He still insisted on doing this every day, so I finally let him go."
Sun Sisi's eyes widened. "This is too exaggerated. What happened next?"
"Later..." Xie Yan pinched his brows, "I felt that something was wrong with the third brother's feelings for me, and then I began to distance myself from him..."
Sun Sisi seemed to have forgotten the pain she had just experienced, and instantly turned into an impatient spectator, "What was the third brother's reaction?"
Xie Yan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Old Third didn't understand why I suddenly became like this at first, but he still cared about me as always."
"But gradually, he must have noticed my deliberate avoidance, and his eyes were full of loss and confusion. One day, he finally couldn't help but talk to me."
"That day, the third brother asked me with red eyes if he had done something wrong. I was very confused and didn't know how to tell him."
"Finally, I told him frankly that I felt his feelings for me went beyond friendship and I couldn't accept such a special feeling."
"After listening to me, the third brother was silent for a long time. Then he said that he just wanted to be nice to me and had no other intentions, and asked me not to have any psychological burden."
"But since then, our relationship has become awkward and no longer as casual as before."
"During that time, I felt bad. On the one hand, I was grateful for his care for me, but on the other hand, I couldn't face his special feelings for me."
"Later, the head of the dormitory introduced me to a girlfriend during dinner. She was my eldest aunt's younger sister. She was studying at another university in the city."
"The boss said that the best way to get over a breakup is to enter into another relationship."
"I drank too much that day...I didn't go back to the dormitory, I slept with the eldest brother's sister."
"Her name is Wang Nan, and she is my second girlfriend."
"I don't actually have any feelings for her. It's just the first time we met and I don't know her well..."
"It was all alcohol that got us together."
"At that time, Wang Nan would take the initiative to come to me on weekends."
"After meeting her a few times, I felt that she had a good personality. She was cheerful and sunny..."
"But then something happened that made me feel something was wrong. It seemed like Wang Nan was hiding something from me."
"She never let me go to her school to see her. Even when I went there twice secretly, she didn't come out to see me. She always made excuses."
