Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Rupture

That summer, Wu Xiaotian was in a state of distress because he was rushing to write his graduation thesis while busying himself with the company's business.Sometimes he had to run several places a day, and when he came home, he was so tired that he fell asleep. One day, after he went to the library of his alma mater to check the materials, he was in a hurry to go to the company. Because he was hungry, he rushed to a noodle shop near the school gate and asked for a bowl of noodles.He picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat when he suddenly heard a girl with a strong southern accent rushing to the boss and said: "Boss, quickly bring me a bowl of noodles with fried sauce, put more spicy, I have to hurry Go to class."

Wu Xiaotian unconsciously raised his head and glanced at the girl.The girl has a tall figure, and her face looks like a small and exquisite southern one, but she is quite fair and beautiful.At that time, there were several people standing behind the girl, and when they heard what she said, they all quarreled.Everyone said: "You have to go to class, we are not in a hurry?! Obediently line up." Wu Xiaotian looked at his noodles, called the girl over, and said to her, "Student, if you don't mind, you can eat my noodles first. My bowl of noodles hasn't been touched yet."

The girl took the noodles and sniffed them, then poured half a bottle of hot sauce into the noodles, and started to eat without any politeness. Wu Xiaotian went to queue again.The boys on the side looked at Wu Xiaotian with a smile and said, "My buddy, it seems that you are going to be lucky." After eating the noodles, the girl wiped her mouth and asked Wu Xiaotian, "Hey, what's your phone number?" Wu Xiaotian said: "Didn't you eat well? Why don't you hurry to class?" The girl smiled and said, "If you don't call me, how can I invite you next time?!"

Wu Xiaotian gave her his mobile phone number.He quickly forgot about it afterwards. Unexpectedly, in the evening two days later, Wu Xiaotian suddenly received a call from that girl, she wanted to invite him out for dinner. It was the off-duty time of the company at that time, but Wu Xiaotian wanted to revise the last chapter of the thesis in the evening and send it to the tutor next Monday.He hesitated, thinking of excuses.But the other party said: "That's it. I'll wait for you at the gate of our school at seven o'clock. See you soon." Wu Xiaotian looked at his watch, it was already a quarter past six.So he called a taxi and went to school.On the way, he suddenly remembered, what happened to him?Is it really just to have a meal?I don't even know the other person's name!

After eating a meal, it took less than two hours, and things seemed to be logical. The girl's lively and intelligent personality quickly drove away Wu Xiaotian's fatigue these days.That night, he ate very heartily and drank two more glasses. After returning home, he didn't change his thesis and went to sleep. The girl was Chen Qiudi, an international student from Taipei.Her father was a "veteran" of the national army, and he married an aboriginal girl in central Taiwan when he was almost fifty years old. That woman was Qiudi's mother.Chen Qiudi's father was originally from Hunan, and he suffered from homesickness in his later years, so he sent Chen Qiudi back to the mainland to go to school.She studied business management, and this kind of mainland degree is not very popular in Taiwan.At that time, when Chen Qiudi went to the mainland, he didn't think about any future issues at all, but just thought it was new and fun.

Chen Qiudi was cared for by his father since he was a child. He looks gentle on the surface, but he is very self-willed and strong in his heart.After she and Wu Xiaotian lived together, she always wanted to play the young lady's temper, so Wu Xiaotian had no choice but to let her go.But after the incident, she was extremely docile and lingering again. Then Wu Xiaotian realized that Chen Qiudi was actually just a chicken rib to him, and he was afraid that he would fall on her all his life. Not long after, Chen Qiudi graduated, and Wu Xiaotian strongly advised her to go back to Taiwan first to develop.Chen Qiudi didn't want to go back, she said Taiwan is too small and she wants to go to America.Wu Xiaotian felt cold when he heard this.He thought of how he went to the United States five years ago: America, America, what is it that attracts so many women to go there? !Are the men there really so attractive? !He has come into contact with quite a few American men, and it seems to be commonplace.

In his consciousness, the United States is more like a refuge for the Chinese than a paradise. Since Chen Qiudi wanted to go to America, Wu Xiaotian had no choice but to follow her.But relying on the little money from Chen Qiudi's parents, she still seems a little short of money to finish her MBA at a famous American university.Although she holds a "Republic of China" passport, it is much easier to get a visa to the United States than those overseas students from the mainland. However, if there is no scholarship, the tuition and living expenses of more than 20,000 US dollars a year are not a small amount. .

Wu Xiaotian has worked for nearly six years, and his savings are only over 200,000 RMB.In the end, Wu Xiaotian and Chen Qiudi confessed.He is willing to give Chen Qiudi all his savings for studying abroad. The only requirement is that she return to China after finishing her studies and start a career together with him.Wu Xiaotian said seriously: "Xiao Di, you know, I came from a small place in southern Zhejiang, I can't afford it!" Chen Qiudi agreed. When she first arrived in the United States, she called Wu Xiaotian almost every day, and after half a year, she only called once a month, talking about trivial matters.

And just at this time, the business of Wu Xiaotian's foreign-funded company was impacted by a German company, and the turnover was reduced by 50%.Companies start laying off workers.Although Wu Xiaotian's position was not affected, his income was reduced by half.A year later, Chen Qiudi suddenly cut off contact with him again.At this time, he was already besieged on all sides.He called Chen Qiudi's father in Taipei, who said their daughter hadn't contacted them for a long time. Wu Xiaotian didn't know what was going on with Chen Qiudi.He remembered what He Ru had sworn to at the beginning, and compared with Chen Qiudi's misfortune, he really regretted it!

Later, he spent a year taking the TOEFL and GRE exams, contacted the C University in California, and was finally accepted.He felt that going out like this now would be tantamount to exile. If He Ru saw him, he didn't know what he was thinking. But he really can't hold his head up in the country. In the circle of friends, everyone knows that he and Chen Qiudi had a romantic relationship in those two years, and they almost didn't alert the civil affairs department. Before sending that e-mail to He Ru, he thought about it for a long time, but in the end he sent the e-mail and expressed his thoughts.Unexpectedly, when he first arrived in LA, He Ru gave him a basin of cold water, and he became sober all of a sudden.After He Ru sent him to his residence from LAX, and then left lukewarm, he couldn't help thinking of Chen Qiudi again.

He thought, no wonder Chen Qiudi was like a yellow crane after arriving in the United States. The United States is actually not a fertile land, but a huge black hole. At that moment, his heart felt as if it was torn open. When he saw He Ru reverse the car and leave quickly, he only felt a blood vessel burst in his body.He knew very well in his heart that even if he and He Ru sat down calmly again, it would be difficult for them to have a happy chat. That night, he stayed up all night, not because of jet lag, but because of an inexplicable sense of loss.He thought, what has he lost?
