Restarting 16 Years Old, the Champion is Tiger and Tea

Chapter 334 A Lifetime of Loneliness

Seeing that Wang Manning remained silent, Xie Wenjian thought that Wang Manning was showing some signs of loosening up, so he became more earnest in his words.

"Manning, this is an idea I had when you first started Youzhi Education. But you didn't know me well at the time, so I didn't dare to mention it rashly."

Xie Wenjian raised his head and drank a glass of wine, then looked at Wang Manning with eager eyes.

"Manning, today we are alone, so I will tell you everything in my heart. Actually, I liked you very much when I was in high school. You were my first love."

Wang Manning was so scared that she jumped back, and the chair rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound.

"Xie Wenjian, you can't just talk nonsense about this. I barely talked to you in high school and didn't even know you."

Xie Wenjian felt a stab in the heart.

Indeed, they had almost no interaction in high school, and even their seats were far apart.

At that time, he was a poor boy with low self-esteem and few words. His grades were not good among all the top students, and he was the quiet one in the class, with little sense of existence.

That's why he is starting to rebound so strongly now, feeling that years of repression finally have a chance to be released.

"Manning, what I'm saying is that in my heart, you are my first love and my goddess. At that time, I could only look up to you but couldn't get close to you. Now I finally have the chance to..."

Wang Manning decisively reached out to interrupt him.

"Xie Wenjian, stop it. It's not appropriate for us to discuss this issue. We are just high school classmates, and we are not familiar with each other. Let's change the subject."

Xie Wenjian was choked back and felt a little breathless. After thinking for a while, he softened his tone.

"Manning, don't be angry, I'm just expressing my feelings. If you really want to consider our cooperation, I will definitely do my best to help you. Really Manning, I don't want anything in return, I just hope to help you."

Wang Manning drank a sip of mango juice and replied calmly: "Xie Wenjian, thank you for helping us as an old classmate. I will definitely find you if I need anything."

Xie Wenjian gritted his teeth.

She is indeed a cunning woman and won't give in at all.

"Manning, I can actually do a lot, including taking care of you. You sprained your ankle, and you have to work hard on your career and take care of your injured body all by yourself. It's too hard."

"Manning, you don't have to think so much. I just want you to be happy. I'll come over to help you after get off work. I can do everything for you, whether it's school or home."

Wang Manning felt that his patience was exhausted. He looked at his watch and stood up.

"Xie Wenjian, this is really unnecessary and inappropriate. If we have any intersection in the future work, I won't treat you unfairly if you help Youzhi."

"As for the rest, it's definitely not appropriate. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I have a very important morning meeting tomorrow."

After saying that, she turned and walked out. Xie Wenjian rushed over and grabbed her hand.

"Manning, listen to me..."

Wang Manning shook his hand off and glared at him with raised eyebrows.

"Xie Wenjian, stop it. I'm being so polite because you helped me before. Don't push me. I, Wang Manning, have never had a good temper."

After saying that, she started to walk away, but Xie Wenjian quickly stepped in to block her.

"Wang Manning, you still have fantasies about that restaurant owner. Look, he didn't even bother to know that you were having dinner with your male classmates, which means he doesn't care about you at all."

There was a gleam of ice in Wang Manning's eyes, which made Xie Wenjian shrink inexplicably.

"Xie Wenjian, my affairs have nothing to do with you. You should worry about your own work and family. Does your wife know that you are talking to other women?"

After saying that, he sneered and tried to walk away from him. Xie Wenjian reached out and grabbed Wang Manning's arm, and the force of his hand made her feel a little painful.

"Manning, please don't be angry with me. I would have divorced that woman a long time ago. Manning, I really like you and want to take care of you. You have been lonely for so many years, let me take care of you, okay?"

Wang Manning did not struggle, but just looked at him coldly, her tone cold and sharp.

"Xie Wenjian, do you really want to break up with me? You'd better consider whether I, Wang Manning, am someone you can tease, and whether you can bear the consequences of a breakup."

Xie Wenjian looked at the woman in front of him who was motionless but had a dignified look and a strong aura. He felt a little disappointed and loosened his hand.

“Manning, don’t be angry, I can’t help myself when I see you.”

Wang Manning stopped talking to him, pushed him away, and strode out of the box.

My right ankle still hurts a little, but my heart seems to hurt more.

Damn it, when did Wang Manning fall to this point, being teased and coveted by such a despicable villain.

The accelerator roared, and the car turned out of the parking lot of Chuan Xiangyuan and drove into the night.

Wang Manning was upset. Looking at the busy streets, she felt that she was not suitable for driving in her current mental state, so she turned the steering wheel and stopped by the roadside.

She adjusted the back of her chair and half-lying down, staring blankly at the sky outside. On the radio, Liu Nai Cha's new song from 2002 was playing.

[The bluer the sky is, the more afraid I am to look up.

The more complete the movie is, the more sad it feels...

I think I'll always be alone.

This way, I will be alone for the rest of my life.

...]

Alas, why is it that even listening to a song is so appropriate?

She suddenly felt something in her heart collapse and her eyes became sore.

The older I get, the lonelier I become.

Only then did she realize that she didn't know who to find to vent her emotions.

My parents can’t do that. I can’t let them worry.

Although Xinxin can do that, she also has her own life. At this time, she must have fallen asleep with the child.

She looked at the lights of thousands of homes in the distance, and tears suddenly filled her eyes, turning the lights in front of her into tiny dots of light.

In this city, there is not a single light left for her.

When she returned home, she had to face the darkness of the room alone. Then, she turned on the light for herself.

The phone rang, it was Zhou Yanqing.

She calmed herself down and picked up the phone. Zhou Yanqing's voice was drunken, but he was still sensitive enough to hear her strange nasal tone.

"Manning, what's wrong? Are you crying?"

"No..." The nasal tone became even heavier.

"Tell me where you are right now...just stay where you are, close your car door, and I'll be there soon."

......

After hanging up the phone, Wang Manning collapsed instantly and leaned over the steering wheel, howling loudly.

She didn't know why she was like this. Was it because of the concern in that magnetic voice, or because of the words "I'll be there soon"?

She didn't know, and she didn't have the brain to think about it. At this moment, she just wanted to cry and vent.

It has been many years since I cried so hard.

When she was 18, the world suddenly collapsed. For six months, she secretly hid under the quilt and cried herself to sleep almost every day.

After that, nothing could make her cry anymore.

But today...

I guess I've accumulated enough grievances over the years.
