Life gradually got back on track. In Lin Shuangshuang's sophomore year, Yu Tang registered for the college entrance examination using his social identity. During the summer vacation, she received an admission letter from the School of Economics and Management of Beijing University of Finance and Economics.

Yu Tang gave up the rented room and moved into the school.

The two schools are not far from each other. Now that there is no need for tutoring, we will make a video call whenever we are free, even if we are just doing our own things on the video.

Just as Datong University was graduating, Lin Shuangshuang had just graduated with a master's degree. With the recommendation of her mentor, she went to work as an assistant lawyer in a well-known law firm in the industry.

Yu Tang sent out his resume everywhere and applied for a finance position in a small to medium-sized technology company.

The two rented a house together and lived and ate together just like they did in their senior year of high school.

Originally, Yu Tang had almost forgotten about Gu Qian. He hadn't looked through Lin Shuangshuang's information for a long time, and even the original plot was vague.

It was just such a coincidence or fate that Lin Shuangshuang's law firm happened to receive a legal lawsuit from Gu Qian's company, and they met.

As soon as Gu Qian saw Lin Shuangshuang, those dark and stagnant memories of high school suddenly became vivid.

He recognized that the young lawyer in front of him was Lin Shuangshuang, who was the top student in Wenxing High School and the person he had always wanted but could not get.

All the things he had wanted but could not get in the past have now turned into what he is determined to get. After all these years of wandering in the love field, Gu Qian was very confident that as a veteran, he would not be unable to handle a young girl who had just entered society.

Six years have passed, and Lin Shuangshuang has completely forgotten who Gu Qian is, so when Gu Qian invited her to dinner as an old classmate, she was still confused.

I was planning to refuse, but then I heard Gu Qian turn around and invite all the colleagues in the office to dinner, so I had to eat even if I didn't want to.

When they returned to the rented house in the evening, Yu Tang was holding a notebook and making a spreadsheet. Lin Shuangshuang went to take a shower, and her cell phone placed beside her vibrated from time to time.

Yu Tang took a quick glance and saw what seemed to be several messages, then turned his attention back to the computer screen.

"Someone sent you several messages on your phone. Is there something going on?" Yu Tang turned around and teased Lin Shuangshuang with a wink.

Lin Shuangshuang, wrapped in a bath towel and a shower cap, picked up the phone and frowned as soon as she saw it.

"What's wrong? I guess your office doesn't need to work overtime."

"No." Lin Shuangshuang shook her head. "I met a high school classmate named Gu Qian at work today. He's a little weird, and I don't like him."

Lin Shuangshuang didn't know how to describe Gu Qian's strangeness. She tilted her head and thought about Gu Qian, then suddenly shuddered and got goose bumps all over her body.

Yu Tang almost jumped up from the sofa when she heard the name again after six years. Fortunately, she managed to calm down and looked at Lin Shuangshuang.

"It's already autumn, and it's cold at night. Go change your clothes and blow dry your hair. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded obediently and entered the room.

Yu Tang bit his lip and thought for a long time, then he took out the address book of several classmates that he had written down when he graduated from high school, ran to the balcony with his cell phone to inquire about Gu Qianlai.

Some people's written phone numbers are no longer in service, and some people no longer remember that they had such a high school classmate and exchanged a few words with him before hanging up the phone.

She didn't actually hold out much hope, so she just called the numbers in her address book one by one.

Until he turned to the page about the class monitor, Yu Tang still remembered that she was a thin and small girl, one of the few people who had not appeared in Liang Le's shameful and painful memory.

Jing Yue, Yu Tang silently repeated the name in his mind, dialed the number on his mobile phone, and the call was connected after a few beeps.

"Hello, is this Jing Yue? I'm Liang Le." Yu Tang introduced himself skillfully. There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then a "Yes" was answered.

Yu Tang briefly stated her purpose, and she didn't have any expectations in her heart.

"Gu Qian?" Jing Yue thought for a while and said, "I have a cousin who seemed to have dated him in high school. Wait a minute, I'll ask for you."

"Okay, thank you."

After they hung up the phone, Yu Tang put the address book aside and leaned on the balcony railing to look at the brightly lit streets in the distance. The night in Beijing is always so gorgeous.

Lin Shuangshuang opened the balcony door in her pajamas and said, "I've been looking for you for a long time. What are you doing hiding here by yourself?"

"Let's take a look at the night view." Yu Tang turned around and smiled. Lin Shuangshuang's hand went through her arm. The two leaned together and looked at the night view in the distance without saying a word.

After a while, the person leaning on her shoulder yawned.

"It's easy to get sleepy when I'm with you. I have a plan to look at. I'll go back to my room first. You should come back early too. Be careful not to catch a cold if you're exposed to too much wind on the balcony."

"I see."

Not long after Lin Shuangshuang left, the phone rang. It was Jing Yue calling.

Her cousin lost contact with Gu Qian after graduating from high school. It was only after asking a good friend who was still in contact with Gu Qian that she roughly understood what Gu Qian had experienced over the years.

After graduating from high school, his family sent him to study in the United States. He graduated two years ago and returned home. Since returning, he has been working in his family's company.

Yu Tang secretly complained in his heart, this is the normal process for a rich second-generation dude, so in the original plot, Gu Qian really repeated the grade just to seduce Lin Shuangshuang.

The two chatted for more than half an hour and got a general understanding of the current situation of the Gu Qian family and the Xue family.

"Thank you so much, especially for asking your cousin to ask others." Yu Tang expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

"No, I didn't expect that we could still get in touch after so many years." Jing Yue was a little disappointed and was silent for a while. "Liang Le, I'm sorry."

Yu Tang was stunned, not understanding why she was saying that, and then he continued to say on the phone, "I'm sorry, I didn't help you in high school."

So it was because of this. "It's okay. When I was bullied, didn't you ask someone to call the homeroom teacher? Thank you so much for what you did today."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Tang felt mixed emotions. The abuser had not yet come to his senses and was even still feeling at ease, while the bystander felt guilty after so many years.

When we were young, we were not so clear about right and wrong. Perhaps out of fear and cowardice at the time, most of us chose to stand by and watch. Only when we grew up did we realize that we should have had more courage.

A gust of cold wind blew and Yu Tang shivered. He tidied up, turned off the lights in the living room and returned to his room.

Lin Shuangshuang was writing something at the desk. Yu Tang lay on the bed, reading the part about Gu Qian in his mind.

In recent years, the Gu family's business focus has gradually shifted to Beijing, and they have closer ties with their old friend the Xue family. They also arranged the marriage for Gu Qian and Xue Lang a year ago.

But Gu Qian couldn't settle down. The two of them were running away while the other was chasing. In this year, many girls that Gu Qian liked or who liked Gu Qian had been tricked by Xue Lang into either finding someone else or quitting their jobs and leaving Beijing.

As Gu Qian's fiancée, Xue Lang took the title of the original wife. In her heart, her behavior was not pranking, but revenge.

It was those women who were shameless enough to be mistresses. She just made it all public, and there was nothing wrong with that. But she never thought about whether Gu Qian was wrong or whether those girls knew that she was interfering.
