There was no scandal about the school beauty until I went to college

The police arrived quickly, and because it was a civil dispute, they went to the bookstore to mediate immediately.

"Who called the police?"

The man walked out with an angry look on his face, and there was also a hint of aggrieved look on his face.

"I paid for it."

Shen Qiao stood up.

Hearing that it was a boy talking, he looked over angrily, and saw a beautiful woman standing in front of him.

For a moment, he was speechless, then he set his eyes on Zhang Xiyan again, he walked forward and begged bitterly: "I really know I was wrong, Yanyan, can you give me another chance, we have been together for five years, and we have been through so many quarrels, haven't we?"

"This time is different."

Seeing that there was no more quarrel, Zhang Xiyan's tense nerves finally relaxed. She sighed and said, "We have been separated for such a long time..."

"But I still like you."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiyan stared at the man's face in front of her seriously.

The other person's appearance has not changed much since college.

But no matter what, she couldn't feel the same feeling she had in college from the other person.

He is no longer the person I like.

"I do not like you anymore."

"Why? After five years of relationship, you just say you don't like it anymore. Are you really so heartless?"

"I'm heartless?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiyan finally couldn't hold back the anger she had been holding in her heart for a long time. She said angrily, "Aren't you heartless? How many chances have I given you? Have you ever cherished them? I am dull and sometimes I can't react. I can only sell sausages and do some unskilled work, but how can you... blame all the mistakes on me, as if I were a burden."

At the end of her speech, Zhang Xiyan's voice became a little choked. One can imagine how much grievance she endured every day during the last period of their relationship.

People who have been together for five years are almost like family, even if they are not. It is impossible to say that there is no affection at all.

When they broke up, she was sad for a long time. She thought every day whether it was right to do so and whether it was really her fault.

Drop by drop, Zhang Xiyan continued to say sadly, "I am a burden. I can't do anything. You said you did everything for me. When you encountered difficulties, you thought it was because of me. But I didn't do anything. Why should I be scolded? Why?"

Zhang Xiyan likes the city of Jiangcheng very much, so she has stayed here for such a long time after graduation.

However, this man did not plan to stay at first. When he graduated, he had the opportunity to return to his hometown and get a good job through some connections.

But when he learned that Zhang Xiyan was going to stay in Jiangnan University, he stayed here without hesitation.

Maybe... at that time, he did have reasons for Zhang Xiyan to like him.

But as time went by, he encountered many setbacks at work, and his mentality changed over time.

If it weren't for Zhang Xiyan, he would have been living a comfortable life in his hometown.

It was because of Zhang Xiyan that he was like this now, failing at work and being unhappy every day.

Naturally, he vented all his dissatisfaction on the other party. Although he never said it explicitly, his attitude was hidden in the details.

Especially since Zhang Xiyan's job at the time was just a cashier in a convenience store. He had ridiculed her more than once, thinking that she knew nothing and was always a burden to him.

In the end, Zhang Xiyan could not accept it and even began to doubt herself and consumed herself, feeling like a burden.

Finally, during another quarrel, she felt out of place and couldn't do anything right. Being despised by the people closest to her, she really had no motivation to go on.

"I didn't ask you to stay. It's not my fault. I've tried my best. When you scolded me for being useless, I was also trying to make myself useful. I worked hard to make money, but I couldn't meet your expectations. I work hard outside every day, but when I come home, you treat me like a burden. What should I do?"

This series of words left the man speechless.

He opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but found that nothing he could say seemed to work.

During this time after Zhang Xiyan left, he always felt that something was missing.

He returned to his hometown and got the job he was able to get when he graduated.

But he was not happy.

I feel confused every day, not knowing what I want and having no motivation at work. Even if I get the job through the back door, I will be fired by my boss soon.

Lying on his bed at home, he opened his photo album and saw the day he was with Zhang Xiyan.

He was very happy that day, and he would never forget that feeling.

Then he continued to look through their couple photo album, from the first one to the last one.

He also gradually realized that Zhang Xiyan was his motivation. Every time he looked at her, he was full of energy and hope.

When he was in Jiangcheng, even though he was criticized by his superiors every day, he continued to persevere because of Zhang Xiyan.

Why... did he become like this in the end?

He returned to Jiangcheng. He believed that Zhang Xiyan liked him so much at the time, and as long as he apologized, she would definitely forgive him.

But he was wrong.

He was rejected.

During this period of time, he kept calling and messaging Zhang Xiyan, but in the end all contact information was blocked.

He returned to his alma mater, Jiangcheng University, wanting to look at his memories with the other party, but accidentally discovered that Zhang Xiyan appeared in this bookstore.

Liu Jianglai likes Zhang Xiyan. Although this matter has not been made public, it is no secret in the bookstore.

In the bookstore, he asked the then employee (Qin Yuwen) about Zhang Xiyan's personal information, saying that he wanted to pursue her.

But this employee advised him to give up, saying that someone else liked Zhang Xiyan.

He inquired for a long time and finally found out who this person was.

At that moment, he understood everything. The reason why Zhang Xiyan rejected him was because she had new options.

He couldn't accept this.

Today, he waited for a long time at the door of the bookstore. When the door opened and he saw Liu Jiang coming, he rushed in angrily...

but……

Recalling what Liu Jiang just said.

[I confessed my love to her, but she rejected me.]

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on him.

Zhang Xiyan refused Liu Jianglai.

Then the reason she rejected me was not because Liu Jiang came.

At this moment, he finally accepted this fact.

The reason he was rejected had nothing to do with anyone but himself.
