Angry as she was, when she hung up, Lu Weixi still felt more heartache for him.
Despite it being a weekend, he canât just rest. He also has to attend social dinners. Itâs indeed very stressful.
Damn it, whether heâs stressed out or not is not my concern, but if he doesnât show up, will you be sleeping with my wife again tonight?
Itâs not easy for him to take a break from his round-the-clock work to come and see his wife. It was okay last night, but not for tonight!
What pissed him off the most was seeing his wife throwing herself into another manâs arms, even though itâs just acting.
After a sequence of unsuccessful takes, even Director Zhao was losing his temper, âXue Feifei, whatâs the matter? Didnât Yu just remind you this morning to focus on your performance!â
âIâm sorry. Itâs my fault. I apologised to Director Zhao, and to Teacher Huang.â Xue Feifei was having difficulty focusing, not because she couldnât concentrate, but whenever she imagined Yu Sixingâs face in place of the man in front of her, she justâ¦
âItâs alright.â Huang Mi smiled, âYou must overcome this. Be brave. Think about whether youâve ever liked someone, or had a crush on a celebrity.â
Someone she used to like? Suddenly, she remembered Huang Qichu.
Actually, she met Huang Qichu when they were both members of the university studentsâ association. They first met when he hosted her for an event during a collaboration between their two schools.
Because the event was a competition, from preliminary rounds to semi-finals and finally the championship, the two schools coordinated events for more than a month. After the competition ended, Huang Qichu continued to keep in touch with her.
Xue Feifei was academically strong, except for calculus. But Huang Qichu, being a computer science major, was good at math. He offered her help willingly by saying, âI can help you.â
Eventually, she passed her calculus exam. And as an added bonus, the moment she passed, she gained a boyfriend.
Even though Huang Qichu was the one who confessed his feelings first, their first kiss was initiated by her.
That particular Valentineâs Day, during her winter break, Xue Feifei and Lu Weixi were just casual acquaintances. Early in the morning, Lu Weixi was all dressed up with Cai Yiren in tow, leaving to celebrate Valentineâs with Qin Zhigu.
She was stuck at home, bored out of her mind; it was the middle of the New Year holidays. Huang Qichu told her he was at his grandmotherâs house, thousands of miles away.
After finishing dinner in the evening, she was listlessly scrolling through some crappy TV series when her mobile rang. It was Huang Qichu: âFeifei, are you home? Iâm downstairs.â
Xue Feifei was startled, quickly changed her clothes and rushed downstairs. Sure enough, Huang Qichu was there in his earthy woolen hat and scarf, grinning broadly the moment he saw her, âI just got back from out of town. I was wondering⦠if youâre not busy, I⦠I was thinking of buying some books for next semester.â
Coming all the way back on Valentineâs Day to buy books? Thankfully, it gets dark early in winter. After dinner, it was only half-past six, and the bookshops usually close at ten.
She nodded, âSure.â
So the two really went to a bookstore and bought a ton of textbooks. When they finally left the bookstore, it was ten oâclock.
Huang Qichu was carrying a huge bag of books. He hailed a taxi to take her home first. But there was a section of road under construction near the Xue familyâs house. The taxi couldnât go through, so they had to walk.
