Chapter 143
Wen Qing was glad that this was the Dark Restaurant.
Because of the darkness, she didn't have to face his words in embarrassment.
Seeing that Wen Qing was silent, Huo Tingshen raised his eyebrows. "You are always avoiding questions, but there are some things that can't be avoided at first glance. Don't you understand the logic?"
"Then... Let me ask you a question. "
"Ask away."
Wen Qing bit her lips. "Do you love me?"
Huo Tingshen laughed, "I love you more and more."
"Then... "To you, who is more important between Ye Wanluo and me?"
Her question silenced him.
"You want to compare with her?"
"Is this hard to choose?"
Huo Tingshen lowered his voice and said after a long while, "Of course it's because you are important to me."
"Huo Tingshen, the reason why you were hesitating was because you weren't sure who was more important between us. After weighing the pros and cons, you felt that Ye Wanluo had your Second Brother, which was why you said," I'm more important, am I right? "
"Wen Qing, everyone has a past. It isn't right to seize someone else's past and face the future."
"That's right, I have one too. Moreover, my past isn't that beautiful. Therefore, I won't give up on my feelings of gratitude and suppression to a man who hesitates when making a choice between me and another woman.
What I want, is not because of attraction, even a little bit of love, even in the future will be more love. I don't want to be uncertain, I'm a... I don't feel safe with men. In other words, I don't trust them.
Because I don't believe it, when I saw Gao Moran betraying me, I felt pain and sadness, but I didn't go and tear off Gao Moran and Song Ruo. Instead, I went to digest the pain myself and directly broke up with him without giving Gao Moran any chance to explain himself. He said I was determined, but only I knew that I was so determined because he, who had once been able to give me a sense of security, had destroyed it.
I know that I didn't do well in terms of emotions, but the shadow Bai Antai gave me was too scary. You might not understand this. I can only tell you that if it weren't for the fact that all the uneasiness and fear in my heart had been released, even if I knew that I was in love with someone, I wouldn't have taken the next step so easily.
This is why even though I can feel your happiness, I have never responded to you in a positive ma
er. Not because you weren't good enough, and not because you had someone else in your heart. It's because there was someone else in your heart and you will never be able to forget it completely. This kind of you, makes me feel insecure.
Huo Tingshen, people are selfish. I'm more selfish. Yesterday, you said that I don't know how to love myself. Because I love myself, so I won't easily give myself to any man, because I'm too afraid of facing the uncertainty of the future. I'm afraid that one day, I'll give you my heart, and you'll shatter it. "
After she finished, Huo Tingshen was silent for a long time.
He knew that Wen Qing had always felt insecure, but he never thought that the fear in her heart would be so deep ??
He looked at her in the darkness, and the light suddenly came on.
Wen Qing closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she had already adapted to the light.
She looked at him and slowly put down her knife and fork. "So, just now, I made the choice that I couldn't make. I will do it now."
She got up, picked up her bag, and left.
"..."
Huo Tingshen came back a bit late.
Wen Qing was sitting on the bed, staring at the door.
After a while, there was no sound coming from the door. It seemed like Huo Tingshen had gone back to his room.
Presumably ?? He must be angry.
After all, he had never been rejected by a woman over and over again, right?
The next day, Huo Tingshen went downstairs. Seeing that Wen Qing was not around, he looked at Butler Tong and asked, "Where's Wen Qing?"
"Miss Wen already left half an hour ago. She said that there's going to be a basketball game going to school in the next few days, so she has to go early."
Huo Tingshen went to the dining table alone with a cold face and did not make a sound.
When he got back from work that night, Wen Qing hadn't come back yet.
Huo Tingshen's expression turned cold: "Have you called her yet?"
"Old Chen said that he would call Miss Wen. Miss Wen said that he would be working overtime, and might be busy until very late. Let him come back first."
Huo Tingshen's face was a little angry: "Let Old Chen come back."
Butler Tong respectfully said: "Ok, Master San, do you want to eat now?"
"No," he said, and left without changing his clothes.
Was Wen Qing pla
ing to never meet him again after what she said last night?
He got on the car and headed straight for the northern university.
After having di
er in the school cafeteria, Wen Qing went straight back to her office.
At this time, the teachers had already gotten off work.
She pla
ed to stay in the office for the night and return to Big City Home tomorrow. There were still no reporters there.
If there were no reporters, she would go back to live. If there's anything else, find a new place to rent it.
Since she already said everything clearly to Huo Tingshen, it definitely wasn't appropriate for her to live in his house.
The night of early November was already rather cold.
She went to the washroom to wash her face. When she came out of the washroom, the light in the corridor suddenly flickered, making her nervous.
In the past, he would often tell stories about the legendary ghosts of the Northern Academy.
The most talked about was also the most famous topic in the school... There was no doubt that the female teacher in red from twenty years ago had disappeared in the middle of the night at the office building.
Previously, when she was doing her job well, she had taken it as a joke.
But now ?? In the corridor of the office building.
The voice that had sounded so sinister in her head at the time.
"Twenty years ago, there was a female teacher who was in a relationship with her student. After she was discovered by the school, the male students, in order to gain a good future, refused to admit it. Instead, it was the teacher who seduced him. In that time of simplicity, the female teacher could not bear the eyes of the crowd and hanged herself in her office on a dark, windy night, dressed in red.
It was said that if a person who was hanged at 12 o'clock happened to be wearing red, then he would become a malicious spirit. After this teacher had died, he had turned into an evil spirit that harassed that male classmate every night. In the end, that male classmate, due to a mental illness, had no choice but to ruin his future and quit school.
However, since then, there were many teachers who had worked overtime. They had seen this reddish shadow in the corridor, as well as her clattering ?? The sound of leather shoes. So... In the teachers' office at Peking University, there is a tradition of not working overtime in the office. "
She couldn't help but shiver as she mumbled, "Tong Hao, you stinking girl. You only know how to make up a story to scare people."
She took a deep breath and headed for the office door.
However, right at this moment ?? The sound of footsteps came from the stairs.
Her heart tightened, and for some reason, she felt all the hair on her body standing up.
She ran into the office and locked the door.
