Teacher, spare me from the suffering of unrequited love

  Fang Dongchen looked at her bewildered face, a hint of melancholy flashed across his handsome face, but he quickly hid it again. When he looked at her again, his eyes were already filled with warmth.

  "You don't have to feel embarrassed, it's normal that you don't remember me, after all, we haven't really talked before!"

  That's the sorrow of unrequited love. You clearly love her more deeply than anyone else, but you say nothing, and so you are nothing.

  He was in the same class as her in high school, sitting diagonally behind her, and when he looked up from his studies, their eyes met. She had one hand propping up her head, lazily lowering her eyelids to gaze at him with a delicate, porcelain-like complexion, a slender and elegant nose tip, and an air of quiet composure that instantly dispelled the annoyance and fatigue in his heart.

  At that time, he always wanted to ask her why she didn't study hard but still got such good grades, but he didn't have the courage. In high school, in that private school which was almost all top students, he wasn't an outstanding person.

  No illustrious family background, parents are ordinary working-class people, no handsome face comparable to a star, just barely considered to have a clear and elegant appearance, and even more so without outstanding academic achievements, in the first year of high school he was even ranked very low in his class.

  He was so self-abased that he didn't have the courage to talk to her, who excelled in every aspect, and even lacked the courage to look her straight in the eye. Her eyes were too bright, as if they could penetrate a person's heart at once.

  Later, she and Chen Qingchu became the school's acknowledged golden boy and jade girl, he had even less courage to confess to her, Chen Qingchu was so excellent and dazzling, he was like an ugly duckling, even if he stood in front of her, she might not have noticed him.

  He hid his emotions and buried himself in his studies. From the first year of high school to the third, his grades gradually rose from the back of the class to the front, then to the top of the grade.

  He worked so hard, just to stand beside her one day and be worthy of her. Only he didn't think that the wait for this day would take so long.

  That year, Chen Qingchu went to the United States, she was depressed and low-spirited, his concern for her was absolutely no less than anyone who cared about her. Every day he stared blankly at her empty seat, several times he almost mustered up the courage to rush to her dormitory to find her, to cheer her up.

  But later he heard them say that she was taken out of the dormitory by Lu, who taught them English, and didn't know where she went. As for that English teacher, as someone who also had a crush on her, he saw through the English teacher's intentions at a glance.

  He didn't think that Lu Zhouyue's feelings for her would be so deep, until this moment when they reunited again, he had never thought that Lu Zhouyue would get her. Not only did he not think of it, but probably none of their classmates would have thought of it either. A teacher and a student, two identities that are most taboo from getting entangled in emotions, with an age difference of seven years, how could they possibly be together!

  After the college entrance exam, he tried every means to find out that she had enrolled in N University, and then he also reported to this small southern city without hesitation. He hoped to see her again in the beautiful ivory tower, even if she was still indifferent to him, it didn't matter, as long as he could quietly guard her. He never thought of telling his feelings to her.

  But he didn't expect that he came to N University with high hopes, but couldn't find her. He knew her passion for architectural design, so he thought she must have enrolled in this major. But he searched through all the student lists of N University's School of Architecture and didn't find her name.

  His heart suddenly cooled down, and he called his classmate who had told him the news with a disappointed tone. His classmate answered affirmatively, saying that she indeed applied to N University.

  But he really couldn't find her, and he didn't give up, going to the Foreign Language College to check, because he knew she was good at English, thinking that maybe she would be enrolled in an English college.

  Thousands of names on the list, he searched one by one, but still found nothing. He still remembered that after finishing the search, his eyes were dizzy and he fell onto a chair in the office of the Foreign Language College, feeling a dark and blurry sky.

  N University, as a nationally renowned key university, has dozens of disciplines, each with dozens of majors, and tens of thousands of freshmen. He can't go looking for her one by one, nor does he have the courage to do so. He's afraid she might not be here after all. He doesn't know how to spend the next four years of college life.

  It's better to pretend that she really came here, breathing the same air as him under the same sky, feeling the pulse of this city. Only by deceiving himself in this way can he get through these four years smoothly.

  Near graduation, he refused the invitations of several major companies in Wencheng and inexplicably chose to stay here. He was interviewed and joined N City's largest real estate company, Shenyuan, as a member of the planning department. He is excellent in ability, handsome in appearance, and upright in conduct, self-respecting and self-loving, making him an object of admiration for many female employees in the company.

  But no one knows that he is hiding such a desperate person in his heart.

  Four years were about to pass, and he still hadn't met her on the campus of N University. He thought he would never see her again in this life, but she suddenly appeared before his eyes in such a way. Just as he saw her walking into the cafeteria with a gentle pace, his breath stopped abruptly.

  To prove that it wasn't a dream, he even pinched his thigh hard, until the sharp pain came, and her slender figure flashed before his eyes, accompanied by a faint fragrance, only then did he dare to confirm that this was not a dream.

  Xu Liu stared at him for a long time, then suddenly enlightened and said

  "I remember now, you're that boy in our class who sings really well, right?"

  >

  She forgot what activity they had in class at the time, a boy went on stage and sang an English song, his low voice plus his deep interpretation, suddenly made everyone in the class remember this unknown boy.

  Always sentimental Xia Weiliang exclaimed repeatedly,

  "This is what it means to be low-key! This is what it means to keep a low profile!"

  He was so infatuated with her that he couldn't take his eyes off her for several days.

  Fang Dongchen smiled and nodded in agreement with her, it was Christmas Eve at the time, the class monitor had organized a small party, and she was at the height of her romance with Chen Qingchu, almost every day after school, Chen Qingchu would be waiting for her at the gate. He suddenly wanted to get her attention, so he sang "Un-Break My Heart" at the party, stunning everyone.

  He has always been good at singing, with a naturally good voice and musical talent. He can hum the tune of a song after listening to it only once, even if others have practiced it many times. Un-Break My Heart, although it's a female voice, suits him well because of its low pitch.

  Unfortunately, he didn't get the attention he most desired. She only gave him a surprised glance and nothing more.

  Xu Liu Wei felt it was quite a coincidence to run into fellow alumni here.

  "How did you end up working here?"

  Lin Xanni, who was originally sitting opposite her, gave her a faint smile.

  "I'm going somewhere else to eat, you guys chat slowly!"

  She couldn't help but secretly sweat for her boss again, having just gotten rid of a first love and now another secret crush had arrived. He really was unlucky in love.

  Fang Dongchen looked at Lin Shanni with gratitude and sat down across from her with his own rice.

  "I studied at N University and stayed here after graduation, then got a job at Shenyuan through an interview!"

  He said these words with an inexplicable emotion flashing across his eyes, but Xu Liu'er was only shocked by the fact that they were high school classmates, attended the same university, and worked at the same company, and didn't notice anything else, instead saying in surprise:

  "Huh? I'm also an N University student!"

  "What is your major?"

  He asked somewhat anxiously, was she really from N University?

  A faint melancholy flashed across Xu Liu's eyes, and he lowered his eyelids, saying indifferently.

  Public Utility Management...

  Fang Dongchen was completely stunned. She didn't major in her beloved architecture design, nor did she excel in English, but instead majored in public affairs management, which was unrelated to the other two subjects...

  He felt that fate had played a very funny joke on him, so funny that he thought his liver and gallbladder were splitting, and all his internal organs were in pain and displaced. He came to find her with great difficulty, but she had inexplicably gone to another department.

  It took him a long time to suppress the bitterness in his heart.

  "How did you end up majoring in this field?"

  Xu Liu sighed.

  "The score of Gaokao wasn't very ideal, I didn't get enough points for the Architecture Department, so I was assigned to this major!"

  Fang Dongchen fell silent and didn't speak. Xu Liuwen couldn't understand why he suddenly became sad, and curiously asked:

  "How did you manage to get into N University?"

  "I..."

  Fang Dongchen raised his eyes and looked at her with a full of innocence and confusion, opened his mouth and finally uttered these few words.

  I like this city...

  What else can he say? Can he say that I actually came to this city and university for you? Presumably, if he says it out loud, she will be scared too, and he will even be treated as a neurosis by her.

  Fang Dongchen is a real person, and in real life, he really exists.
