In her rambling narration, the puzzle pieces of the past were completed bit by bit, showing the original appearance of all this.
Dave and she were indeed former lovers.
At that time, Debbie was no better than the poorest people at the bottom of the capital. Foreigners who are new to the country have to do the hardest and most tiring work in order to earn a little salary to survive in the most prosperous place in the world.
She was not very young at first, but she did not have the opportunity to study in various colleges like those children who were blessed since childhood. She would have a bright future waiting for her as soon as she graduated.
She envied those people.
Those who had the opportunity to go to school.
If she just keeps living like this, maybe she won't have any unrealistic delusions.
There are people who live at the top, and naturally there are people who live at the bottom... Maybe I am just an ordinary person who fills in the diversity of the group.
But the appearance of Dave made her see a different color.
Different from the stereotype that she had imagined that students studying in major colleges were either rich or noble; it was Difu who made her know that the fate of some people can really be changed through hard work.
Like himself, his family was extremely poor and he had to work odd jobs outside to barely afford his tuition and living expenses.
But at the same time, what was completely different was that his academic performance was exceptionally good, and the civilian college that admitted him was also the best in the entire royal capital.
… Even if a truly capable person is in trouble, it will only be temporary, right?
Thinking like this, Debbie gradually developed a complex emotion of admiration and envy for him.
Under her attention and care, consciously or unconsciously, the smart and keen Diff also noticed the special way she treated him.
As the two parties became more and more familiar with each other, they fell in love.
However, the happiness brought by love is short-lived after all.
The burden of life weighs on two young people who are not well-off, making them almost breathless.
Gradually, Dave's academic tasks increased and his free time became more and more difficult to arrange. The hard work outside inevitably distracted him. All of this was seen by Debbie, and one day she couldn't help but asked him to pay his tuition and living expenses herself.
"Being able to complete my studies well is a wish that I very much desire but have not been able to achieve. - If possible, please allow me to realize this wish from you."
Compared with the heartbeat caused by external conditions, in Debbie's heart, at this moment, the two of them were more like people walking alone in the snow in single clothes, having to rely on each other for warmth.
She still remembered the stunned expression on Dave's face.
However, beneath that emotion, there was also a sense of shame.
It's a pity that she didn't understand at the time.
She was just immersed in the thought that "she could finally help him" and felt happy for her efforts.
Yes, although those days were very hard, she did feel happy.
But Dave, in this happiness, became silent day by day.
He began to become preoccupied.
Finally one day, after the two had a long-awaited quarrel, both parties complained loudly and accused the other party, thinking that the other party did not understand their feelings at all.
It was after this quarrel that the two realized that maybe they were not suitable for each other.
Without any material foundation, their ability to resist risks is almost zero; even the slightest disturbance from the outside world can create a deep gap between the two of them.
As a result, the two of them separated for a while.
——I know from the bottom of my heart that this relationship has come to an end, and I am just waiting for someone to say goodbye first.
Surrounded by such an unspeakable atmosphere, one day Dave suddenly found Debbie.
"I have a solution... that would make both of our lives better," he said.
…
Compared to the streets of Wangdu, which had cooled down a lot some time ago, there was an inexplicable air of desolation.
"Actually, I later discovered that I could actually understand Dave's mood very well." After telling this, Debbie's mood became a little more stable than before.
"He took advantage of me, but I also willingly let him take advantage of me."
Wiping away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, Debbie took a deep breath. "Master Wayne...thank you for being willing to listen to me."
There was no expression on Wayne's face.
"Don't thank me, because these words have no impact on me." His voice was very flat. "I will soon forget all about it, and I hope you will too."
Staring at him, Debbie was speechless for a moment.
After a long time, she sighed: "You are such a rational and ruthless person."
Wow, this review is quite new.
"Maybe." He said noncommittally.
In the end, Debbie accepted the breakup fee.
After successfully solving a hidden danger, Wayne did not feel relaxed.
I have to admit that Dief is very brave and has the courage to tell such a lie. Unfortunately, he always chose the wrong path and his luck was always bad.
Sometimes realizing that life could have been otherwise is a misfortune for some people.
With a slightly sad mood, he walked back.
Because it happened to be on a street not far from Tasia's house, Wayne went to visit specifically before returning home.
He had no intention of reporting the results to Gavin anymore, so he just casually sent a servant to inform him, which officially put an end to the matter.
Sitting alone in the study, Wayne took out a stack of blank paper and began to write a story without knowing it.
——The story of a poor young man who found love but lost it because of his pursuit of fame and fortune.
After writing several pages in one breath, Wayne suddenly came back to his senses.
'…Wait a minute, why am I writing this? '
In addition to his personal hobby, Wayne also studied script writing techniques. But he, a dabbler, only knew a little bit about it, and he soon lost interest in writing stories.
As for my attainments in this area, maybe I don’t know it as well as Chris.
Wayne felt a little funny about his impulsive behavior, and he felt even more ashamed after reading the story again, which was all about love. He crumpled the drafts into a ball and threw them into the half-filled wastebasket on one side.
Stories like this are not uncommon, so it’s better not to expose them and embarrass yourself.
"Wayne——"
Chrissy called to him from outside the door, "Come here and do me a favor!"
"Oh, here we come!" After tidying up the desktop and restoring it to its original state, Wayne quickly left the study.
