Section 4

Li Zehao and Yi Tongtong moved forward like two wooden stakes, silently. Although their hands were still holding each other, each harbored their own thoughts.

Li Zehao did not dare to say that his money was originally with Liu Jing. When they separated, he felt too ashamed to ask Liu Jing for it, saying, "I... I spent it all recklessly"

How to put it, it is not easy to be a heartless man

"Put it wherever you want, anyway, I won't move out until you have a house." Yi Tongtong was stubbornly arguing with him, refusing to back down at all

"What about the money you saved in these two years of work?" Yi Tongtong was stunned to learn that Li Zehao had little savings

Yitongtong did not expect him to speak so harshly, feeling wronged, and her expression fell.

No!" Li Zehao firmly rejected.

It is truly astonishing that this chaotic scene was witnessed by Bai Yan

Li Zehao opened his mouth, waved his hand, and said, "If you don't want to move, then don't move; no one is asking you to move." After saying this, he turned around and left with a cold expression.

"Then where am I supposed to live? Squeezed into the teacher's dormitory with you, sharing a bathroom with several people?" Yi Tongtong asked angrily, "Moreover, regarding that car and that house, I never asked him for them; he paid for them himself due to his unfaithfulness."

To be honest, at this moment, Yi Tongtong was unwilling to see Kang Jian. Thrown on the roadside where dust was swirling, her hair was blown about like wild grass, her face flushed red from anger with Li Zehao, and having just come from the construction site, her shoes and pant legs were covered in mud, looking as disheveled as one could be. In the past, no matter when, she always maintained a perfect image in front of Kang Jian.

"I am not deaf, so please do not speak so loudly. What a country bumpkin you are!" Yi Tongtong shouted back

"Bastard, come back, give me back!" Yi Tongtong was dumbfounded; this place had neither a village nor a shop. He threw her down, does he expect her to walk back?

The two individuals arrived at the intersection, and Li Zehao released her hand, pushing the motorcycle that was parked at the side over. Seeing her disheveled appearance, he felt a surge of anger and shouted, "Are you going back or not?"

Li Zehao bit his lip, suddenly leaped, jumped onto the motorcycle, started the engine, and sped away with a whoosh

Yitongtong was anxious, "So what should we do now? How about I sell my house to cover this? It might even be enough for the decoration!"

Li Zehao was infuriated upon hearing this, a sense of humiliation he had never experienced before gnawing at his heart. He demanded that Yi Tongtong immediately return both the house and the car to Kang Jian

Do you think this is the same as discussing a topic? Can you just think it through? In any case, I want to get it right in one go; if it's done carelessly, I won't move in

Yitongtong boldly continued, "You are already in deep debt; who else can you borrow money from for the decoration? With your few salaries, you have to repay debts, make a living, and also pay for the decoration. It is truly a fantasy."

Isn't that Teacher Yi? A black Mercedes passed by her, then slowly backed up. As the window rolled down, a shiny head emerged from Huaxing.

That night, the two individuals were so excited that they hardly slept at all. Yi Tongtong secretly thought to herself: I have truly made a correct bet on this potential stock.

Why did he get divorced? How long has it been since the divorce? My heart is pounding, and I can't help but resent my own delayed realization, only now coming to understand.

Tongtong, you love to paint, shall we specially decorate the room on the west side as your studio?

Come on, come on! Teacher Li, goodbye! When you have time, come visit our hospital. If your girlfriend has any difficulties she cannot speak of, she can find Liu Jing; we are all acquaintances, and we can open the back door without charging any fees

Yitongtong hesitated for a long time, and seeing Li Zehao's stern expression, she had no choice but to tell the truth

On the day the teachers' apartment began construction, the school held a general meeting to announce the list of teachers eligible to reside in the teachers' apartments. As Li Zehao had expected, he was assigned an apartment of 180 square meters, and it was also located on a good floor. Yi Tongtong, being a part-time teacher and new to the school, did not receive such treatment.

Li Zehao firmly believed that Yi Tongtong was his true love in this lifetime. He gritted his teeth and played the role of a modern-day Chen Shimei, breaking up with his fiancée Liu Jing, with whom he had been engaged for fourteen years, naturally causing a tremendous stir at school. In order to prove that he was yielding to the call of true love and not simply experiencing infatuation, Li Zehao displayed affection for Yi Tongtong everywhere, completely submitting to her wishes. Aside from attending classes, the two were like conjoined twins. Under the flowers and the moonlight, they raised their cups together, admired their reflections while applying makeup, and truly lived a life akin to that of a pair of lovebirds, successfully silencing the voices of the crowd. The school, after all, recognized teaching ability and did not pry too much into the personal privacy of the teachers.

Yitongtong was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she could not focus on that matter now; her heart and mind were filled with the news that "Kang Jian had gotten a divorce"

Later, it was still Li Zehao who lowered his head first; otherwise, what could he do? He was both reluctant and afraid to utter the words of parting.

Li Zehao seemed not to hear, and the car drove faster and faster

Li Zehao was sitting at the table, feeling anxious. After sending Yi Tongtong's parents away, he finally asked Yi Tongtong where the house and car came from

The white goose waved its hand and trotted into the sales office

You are now my girlfriend, yet you live in a house provided by another man. Where am I supposed to put my face?" Li Zehao waved his hand, clenched his fist, and felt an urge to hit someone

During the summer vacation, Li Zehao accepted several commissions from parents to provide extra tutoring for their children, and he also took on a few jobs at training classes. As long as he could earn money and find the time, he was willing to take on almost any work.

In order to cheer up Yi Tongtong, he took her to see an apartment today. The building is still in its foundation stage, with dirt and bricks everywhere, yet Li Zehao couldn't help but fantasize about the arrangement of their home.

After working hard to earn money over the summer, it is still not enough to accompany Yi Tongtong on a trip to Hainan or to buy a few seasonal outfits. Yi Tongtong has always been extravagant with her spending, almost living paycheck to paycheck. Since being with Li Zehao, she has toned it down a bit, but she insists on using quality cosmetics, changing her clothes with the seasons, dining out every now and then to satisfy her palate, and occasionally indulging in a bit of romance by buying flowers or small gifts.

Li Ze cautiously reiterated his request to Yi Tongtong regarding checking out and returning the car, while Yi Tongtong embraced his neck, neither angry nor responding

Yi Tongtong widened her eyes and said, "You have come this far, yet you still pretend to be aloof." Her tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

Yitongtong instinctively wanted to hide, but where could she possibly conceal herself on this roadside where not even a weed grew? Gritting her teeth, she steeled herself, awkwardly using her hand to comb her hair, and made an effort to display a ladylike elegant smile, "Kang Jian, did you come to inspect the construction site?"

Li Zehao felt a sudden jolt in his heart, but remained silent

I will find a way said Li Zehao coldly

"What are you using to pack it, mud or bricks?" Yi Tongtong shot him a glance.

The school has begun collecting funds, and with that, issues have arisen

However, more than a month later, Li Zehao felt somewhat uneasy. Firstly, it was about the apartment where Yi Tongtong currently resided and the sports car she drove. Initially, he thought it was a gift from Yi Tongtong's parents, who spoiled their daughter. On one occasion, when Yi Tongtong's parents came to Binjiang, he invited them to a restaurant for a meal. During the conversation, he learned that Yi Tongtong's parents were just ordinary factory workers who had long been laid off and were now at home. They had nearly exhausted all their savings to allow their daughter to attend an art academy, and now, in their old age, they were hoping that Yi Tongtong would take care of them in their retirement.

Boss Hua, what a coincidence... Ah..." Yi Tongtong's expression of surprise froze on her face, as she covered her mouth, unable to believe as she met the gaze of another pair of cold eyes in the car.

Li Zehao gritted his teeth and shamelessly sought help from his parents, friends, and even asked others to help him secure a loan from the bank. He barely managed to gather the funds, but Yi Tongtong never smiled at him again

She does not want to lose face in front of Kang Jian; she wishes to be as beautiful as a flower, with a charming smile, and to have a chance encounter with Kang Jian on a fine and sunny day, rather than at this very moment

Li Zehao angrily slammed the door and left, marking the first time they had a falling out

Yitongtong was so angry that she stamped her feet, standing by the roadside, on the verge of tears

Li Zehao truly experiences a suffocating sense of breathlessness
