Chapter 256: Solace for the Soul

Previous Chapter

In the next few days, I was given three meals a day.

I was like a creature in captivity, spending all day in a dimly lit room without seeing the light of day.

I lost my motivation in life, and I couldn't see my hope.

I suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing for Xiang Sihang to continue to stay here.

At least there's someone else to talk to.

Now, Xiang Sihang has been let go by Nie Mengmeng, and there is not even a person who is willing to talk to me.

I've never understood why my life is the way it is.

Looking back, I was a teenager who was full of enthusiasm and hope for life, but as time went by and I grew older, I found that my outlook on life had changed dramatically.

Commiseration!

Treachery!

Helpless!

Whoop!

I've seen so much sadness and parting that I can even empathize.

I thought I would be able to excel in the hard life, but I was brutally beaten by reality.

I sighed heavily, fumbled in my pocket, pulled out a cigarette and lit it in my mouth, listening to the crackling sound of the tobacco burning.

Looking back, I only remember that I had walked through the city again and again, but I could no longer see the traces I had left on this land.

I want to run!

I want to run away even more!

I wanted to push it all aside, but I couldn't do anything about it.

To tell the truth, I have also had thoughts of suicide, but I am also human, I don't dare, I am even more afraid! Even though I know that my departure will not change anything, it will not be long before I am forgotten by everyone like a surging breeze.

At this moment, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and I felt like I was immersed in a white world, where there was nothing, and when it was white, I could no longer see any color.

I ran, screamed, shouted, vented frantically, but no one responded to me, and it wasn't until I was tired that I lay down and stared helplessly at the white sky.

This is not what I want to see, but I can't help it.

All that was left was a helpless sigh and the warmth of the heart in my chest.

I never imagined that one day my heart would be at peace.

I suddenly found myself in love with the feeling, like carefree, like a white cloud above the blue sky, I drifted away as I wanted.

I no longer have to worry about the rush of life, I don't have to bear the huge pressure brought by life and work, and I don't have to get involved in the turmoil and struggle in the workplace again and again.

I left all my pain and worries behind me, and just lay flat on the hard concrete floor, staring blankly at the ceiling.

As the minutes ticked by, I silently counted the sound of my heartbeat.

In a trance, I suddenly heard a noise outside the window, as if there were countless sounds rippling in my ears.

I wiped my face heavily, trying to look as calm as I could.

Then I slowly got up and walked to the windowsill, quietly looking down at the city.

I couldn't see anything but the darkness as far as the eye could see.

However, the voices in my ears grew louder and louder, so that I couldn't tell if it was the voice from the outside, or the cry from the depths of my heart.

I exhaled heavily, even pressing my face against the cold glass.

Suddenly, I seemed to be able to see what was underneath.

I saw my past, my present, and my future.

I saw Ai Ningning's face, Su Yu's face, and Ai Kele's face.

They held hands and stood downstairs, looking at me with their heads tilted up.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from my sight, replaced by an endless darkness.

I paused, as if I had lost something, and I felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

My body was like a mess of mud, and I sat down weakly, leaning against the corner, and buried my head in my knees.

I finally understand what Nie Mengmeng wants to do by locking me up here.

Her purpose seemed to be to purify my heart, and she gave me enough time to think about it and make me think about the past.

Although her approach seems very extreme in the eyes of others.

I don't understand how long Nie Mengmeng wants to keep me here, but I don't care so much.

It's as if from this moment on, everything that is happening around me doesn't matter anymore.

Anything, I just want to stay quietly in this corner where there is no light of day, quietly guarding the bridge in my heart.

In a trance, I suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door, and my body shook suddenly, as if I understood something, and suddenly opened the heavy door.

When I saw the person standing in front of me, my heart chuckled and I couldn't help but gasp.

Even the round of dark eyes in the eye sockets suddenly shrank, converging into a small dot.

I couldn't believe it was all true.

At this moment, the person standing in front of me is not someone else, but another me.

He wears a suit and tie, and looks like a successful man.

I squirmed my throat to ask something, but I found that a thousand words had accumulated in my chest, and I couldn't say a word at all.

Then I saw him enter the house and hold out his hand to me.

My brain suddenly heated, and I reached out to meet it, and the moment my fingers touched his skin, I suddenly felt a trickle rushing through my entire body.

It's like eternity, and I see a world of colors.

This world is unrestrained, like another time and space, without the troubles of trivial matters, and there is no intrigue and purgatory on earth.

Immediately afterward, all the light dissipated, and when I came back to my senses, the other me seemed to have disappeared.

Outside the window, there was a sudden commotion again.

In a trance, as if I remembered something, I rushed to the windowsill.

And this time, I also clearly saw Ai Ningning looking up at me, smiling and waving to me.

However, in the next second, her figure also dissipated, disappeared into the air with the green smoke, and drifted into the distance with the surging wind.

The night was getting darker, and a light veil of clouds hung over the city, and I stood out the window in a daze, lost in thought.

Everything that should have been forgotten by me poured into my body at this moment.

At this moment, I seemed to know what decision I had to make.

The comfort of each other's hearts is the destination at the end of the bond.

The hazy sky will light up one day, even if there is no sun.
