After he finished listening, he looked at me with a complicated expression and said, "Starting next month, you'll return to your programming job. You should quit the part-time job for now."
I shook my head, "I haven't touched it in so long that I've almost forgotten everything."
"That's okay, I can teach you again."
With that, he peeled the shrimp shells, dipped them in seasoning, and placed them in my bowl.
It felt just like back in college.
He pinched my cheek and said, "Don't slack off. I'll check your homework later."
I mumbled softly, "But I've really forgotten."
"If you've forgotten, then learn it again."
He took out a piece of paper and wrote down a few lines of basic code, sliding it across the table to me.
I stared at the familiar characters on the paper, feeling as if I were in another world.
It was as if—
My youth was still by my side, explaining problems to me.
After finishing the meal, I insisted on going home and didn't let him see me off.
As soon as I got on the subway, I received a WeChat message from Liang Qiuyao.
"Ding Pengpeng, could you please stop making Yikeng sad?"
"He has been trying to find ways to help you pay back the money all these years. Ever since you disappeared, he has been completely downcast."
Immediately after, Liang Qiuyao sent me a screenshot of the university dormitory group chat.
"Look, he just paid off all the money the other day."
"Now you should believe that he truly loves you, right?"
I stared blankly at the screen, unable to reply.
After a while, my phone vibrated, and I received a text message.
"Your debt has been fully paid off. The payer is Mr. Yikeng."
He paid it all off for me...
I bit my lip hard, confirming it several times before I had to accept this fact.
Yikeng actually paid off all my debts without saying a word!
No wonder—
He had been desperately looking for me, promoting me and giving me raises.
No wonder—
Last night he held me and said not to leave him again.
Everything was just to pay off the debt.
Sadness surged like a tidal wave, completely drowning me.
Suddenly, I found myself quite amusing.
It turned out that I was just a burden in his heart, merely a creditor.
Everything he did was just to pay off the debt sooner and get rid of me.
How foolish of me to think that he still had lingering feelings for me.
How silly of me to be lost in his tenderness, unable to extricate myself.
Ding Pengpeng, you are truly the most foolish idiot in the world!
Yikeng never loved you!
He liked you before, but that was just youthful recklessness.
Now he seeks you only to repay his debt.
You are nothing more than—
A special creditor in his youthful years.
That's all.
Thinking of this, it felt as if something had been gouged out of my heart, leaving an emptiness.
I angrily messaged him: "Who told you to pay off my debt?"
Yikeng quickly replied: "Isn't repaying the debt good? This way, you won't have to struggle so much."
"And besides, I've wanted to pay back the medical expenses your grandfather owed for a long time."
My heart ached again.
"I will save money to pay you back."
"From now on, don't contact me unless it's for business."
"Ding Pengpeng, I—"
I no longer looked at the messages he sent.
I took a leave of absence and stayed home alone for two days.
My mother told me that Yikeng stood downstairs all night.
The next morning, I took the subway to work.
Yikeng also gave up his Porsche and accompanied me on the subway.
In the evening, I worked part-time at a KTV, and he booked a small private room, sitting at the door to watch me.
For several consecutive days, he followed me like this, and I finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"Yikeng, please stop following me!"
