Mu Yi didn't take the elevator, and the ghost sent him down the stairs. The sensor light in the corridor was broken, and it was black, and only the stairs could be faintly seen. Mu Yi moved down step by step, maybe he just wanted to think about something by walking, but his mind was chaotic and he couldn't do a good job of thinking activities. In his confusion, he didn't know how many flights of stairs he had descended, and his knees ached, but he didn't care. The mobile phone rang in the silence and emptiness, and the melodious ringtone echoed in the staircase. Mu Yi was stunned for a moment, stopped, and reached out to find his mobile phone in his pocket.

When he saw the text message on the screen, his head boomed, and he suddenly became numb and sluggish. He read it several times, studying it word by word, and it seemed that he couldn't understand the sentence. After a long time, he gradually reacted, but his eyes were still fixed on those words. He wanted to ask Lin Yansheng what he meant by sending this text message. However, after editing, he hesitated, and hung his finger on the send button, and he didn't press it for a long time. Finally, he deleted the sentence, put away his phone, and looked at the gray wall in front of him in a daze, feeling a little dazed.

He went downstairs and walked for a long time until he reached the first floor. He found his car, drove home, greeted his parents, and lay down on his bed, looking at the white ceiling in front of him, feeling exhausted. It didn't take long for him to close his eyes and fall asleep. In his sleep, he seemed to be an unborn baby, surrounded by the warm bed, he felt very safe, and slept very quietly and steadily.

But when he woke up, all kinds of reality pierced his heart again, like rows of bamboo fences with spikes piercing him. The darkness of the evening swept over him with unknown fear, and he couldn't help but hug his body tightly, and his eyes were open for a long time before he gradually came to his senses. There was a plate of food on the bedside table next to the bed, it was no longer steaming, but it still smelled fragrant, and he could smell it, it was the smell of braised pork. Feeling a little hungry, he sat up with his body propped up, turned on the bedside lamp, glanced at the food in the dim warm light, and reached out to pick up his chopsticks to prepare for the meal. Before a mouthful of food could be delivered to his mouth, someone knocked on the door and gently pushed it open. Yu Qinling saw that her son was about to eat, and hurriedly said, "Don't eat it yet, Mom will give you hot and then eat." Cold rice and cold dishes, eaten indigestible. ”

"It's okay, I'll just take two bites. Mu Yi said, and sent it to his mouth again.

"Listen to the. Yu Qinling snatched the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the plate and walked out. The door was half-hidden, and Mu Yi felt a little dazed when he saw the strong light outside the door.

After the dish was taken away, he saw the phone that had been blocked by the plate. Suddenly, the text message jumped in front of his eyes, his heart twitched, and the blood all over his body suddenly clotted. "She's going to be separated from me, she's going to be separated from me. He muttered to himself, as if it was only then that he understood the meaning of the text message.

He snatched the mobile phone on the table, frantically flipped out Lin Yansheng's phone number, and dialed it. While waiting for her to answer the phone, he clenched one hand into a fist, blood rushed to the top of his head, and he shouted unwillingly. Finally, the phone was answered, and Lin Yansheng's voice sounded on the other end, which seemed a little distant.

"Hey?" she asked, confused, seemingly unaware that it was him calling.

"Why did you break up?" asked Mu Yi, gritting his teeth as if he wanted to chew those two words.

The other end was silent for a few seconds before Lin Yansheng whispered, "No reason." ”

"No why?" Mu Yi felt a little ridiculous, "What am I to you?

"Since we're going to separate, there's no need to find a reason. Lin Yansheng said, her tone like the soil that has been frozen hard in winter.

"I disagree. Mu Yi said, "We got married, have you forgotten?"

After a pause, Lin Yansheng continued: "Then let's go and dissolve the marriage tomorrow." ”

Mu Yi was stunned, until just now, he didn't really believe this fact, he felt that it was very likely to be just a joke, as long as the two of them communicated, it could be alleviated. But when Lin Yansheng said this, he seemed to be woken up by a stick, and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Lin Yansheng hesitated, but her tone became more firm, and she said word by word: "At ten o'clock tomorrow morning, let's go and divorce the marriage." ”

This sentence sounded hilarious, Mu Yi thought to himself, as if they had been husband and wife for several years. But the fact is that they are still only maintaining a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, and they are not husband and wife at all, and even emotionally, they are far from reaching the point of being husband and wife. So, when he heard this, he almost laughed, and felt that it was pathetic and funny.

"Divorce. He muttered, "Are we ever married?"

"Mu Yi. Lin Yansheng said, I couldn't guess what her emotions were now, "Putting those contradictions aside, it's me-" She swallowed, as if it was very difficult to say this, "It's that I don't deserve the affection you gave me." I can't give you what you want, before or now. I don't want to delay you, you should have better, but that's not me. ”

Mu Yi ignored her words, he was silent for a while, and suddenly the bull head asked the horse, "Do you have a heart?"

"Huh?" Lin Yansheng was stunned, not understanding his words.

"Yan Sheng. He called out her name, speaking slowly, as if it was the last time he called her, "In your heart, there has never been me, has you?"

Lin Yansheng felt a tingling in her heart, how could it be? How could she not have him in her heart? If not, why did she feel pain, why did she feel uncomfortable? But at this point, what is the use of saying this? They will not go back to the past. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down before trying to disguise her indifference and said, "If that's what you think, so be it." ”

At this moment, the lights in Mu Yi's world were turned off instantly, and although he could still see the light of the table lamp in his eyes, his heart was no different from the night outside the window. The darkness filled his heart, and he felt that he could no longer see anything, including hope and happiness, and even the good memories of the past seemed to be swallowed up by this darkness.

"Let me ask you again, is what you said true?" Mu Yi asked in an accentuated tone, this sentence was his last retreat, and after saying it, there was no way back.

Lin Yansheng closed her eyes, she took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said, "Hmm." ”

Mu Yi only felt that the word exploded in his head, and he shook it a few times, his ears buzzing. By the time he could control his mind, the phone had already been hung up by Lin Yansheng. The repeated "beep" sound was so cold and merciless, beating at his stiff heart again and again.

His hand holding the phone hung limply, and his eyes became dull. When Yu Qinling came in with food, he was startled by his son's expression, and it seemed that he had fainted, but his eyes were still open, his brows were furrowed, but his face was pale and his expression was decadent, as if he had suffered a major injury.

"Xiao Yi. Yu Qinling put the food on the table and shouted softly. After shouting twice, Mu Yi heard it, he raised his head and glanced at his mother, came back to his senses, and barely smiled.

"What's wrong?" Yu Qinling looked at her son worriedly, "Why is your face so bad?"

"Nothing. Mu Yi said, he stood up, put his hand on his mother's shoulder and pushed her out, "I'm tired, I'll sleep for a while." ”

"You've been sleeping all afternoon. Yu Qinling tried to turn her head to see her son's expression.

"Then I won't sleep, I'll rest for a while. ”

"Okay, okay. Yu Qinling said, "Then you remember to eat." With that, she walked out and gently closed the door.

Mu Yi sat back on the bed, but he had no appetite at all. He looked at the plate of food full of color and aroma, and sighed faintly for a long time. He lay down on the bed, closed his eyes again, and looked as if he had fallen asleep. Only the fists that have been clenched can prove that he is not asleep, his head is a mess, and his heart is unbearably messy. But he gritted the crown of his teeth and tried to digest it all, he was a man, he should be able to withstand everything, he thought to himself. But a tear in the corner of his eye betrayed him, and the tear shimmered in the light of the stage light, and slid down his cheek like a shooting star.

Early the next morning, Mu Yi got up. There was no expression on his face, he washed and changed his clothes as usual, waiting for Aunt He to make breakfast, eat and prepare to leave for the company. Mu Yukai's cough finally got better some time ago, but after being tired in the past two days, he coughed again, and his body was not as strong as before. Mu Yi asked his father to stop busy with the company's affairs, and he completely took over the company's affairs from his father's hands, so that his parents could retire early and enjoy life.

After breakfast, he pushed open the door and walked out. The morning air was particularly fresh, with a damp vapor rushing towards him. He stood at the door for a long time, listening to the chirping of the birds, a faint mist enveloping the world, and it was so quiet that no voice could be heard, only the sounds of nature. This made him feel very calm and peaceful, and in a few hours, the world would be busy, and all kinds of artificially created sounds would instantly drown out the refreshing sounds of nature, and his heart would not be as calm as it is now. He remembered what he was about to face, and his heart sank, and the birdsong didn't seem so good. He frowned, turned around and closed the door, ready to drive, and the moment he opened the door, he seemed to see Lin Yansheng. Lin Yansheng always sat in the passenger seat, and that seat almost became her exclusive. Mu Yi was stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses, got into the car and started the engine, and drove towards the company with a blank face.

He came too early, and there was no one in the company. He walked around the large space and turned on all the lights before entering his office. On the back of the chair behind the desk was the jacket that Mu Yukai had forgotten to take back the night before, with some wrinkles on it, and it looked like it had been worn for several days. He put away his coat and hung it on a hanger, sat down in a chair, turned on his computer, and got to work. After an hour, there was a noise outside, and someone was walking around the company in high heels, and the sound of da-da-da was particularly regular. The footsteps gradually came towards his office, and suddenly, the door was pushed open, and the face of the little secretary appeared in the doorway. Seeing Mu Yi, she first showed a surprised expression, and then said in a daze: "Mu-Xiao Mu?"

Hearing the voice, Mu Yi raised his head and glanced at her. He nodded at her and continued to work with his head down. The little secretary girl grimaced slightly, lightened her steps, and walked towards the table. She gently sorted out the messy folders on the desktop, while carefully looking at Mu Yi's expression, and after tidying up the desktop, she turned around to go out. The sound of clattering footsteps sounded again, pulling Mu Yi back from the world of work.

"Is there anything particularly urgent for the company to deal with in the past two days?" he asked.

The little girl who was the secretary was stunned, and hurriedly turned around and smiled: "No, Mr. Mu has already dealt with it, except for making an appointment with Jiayue's boss Qian for dinner in the afternoon, there are no other arrangements for the time being." She looked at Mu Yi with some uneasiness, thinking that he would show an impatient look like before, saying that he was unwilling to go to this kind of drinking party, and every time she had to persuade him in embarrassment, and then report to Mu Yukai that Mu Yi was unwilling to go. Although it was only a matter of a few words, this kind of emotional handling still made her feel a little pressure, and every time Mu Yukai always had to reproach her a few words, saying that she couldn't even do this little thing well, and how could she do other work as a secretary. Finally, Mu Yi disappeared for a few days, and she felt a little relaxed, she didn't expect him to come back so soon, and he arrived at the company so early today, and took the initiative to ask what work to be handled. Surprised, she pursed her lips silently, expressing her inner dissatisfaction, she still prefers to be Mu Yukai's secretary, at least she doesn't have to worry about more things.

"Good. Mu Yi replied and lowered his head. Now the little secretary girl was even more surprised, she took a closer look at his face, and saw that he seemed to be different from the past, except that his face was a little bad, and the temperament exuded by the whole person seemed to have changed a little. While she was looking, she suddenly heard him say, "Go out and close the door." She was taken aback, hurriedly answered, turned and walked out.

After the door was closed, Mu Yi leaned back in his chair and felt a wave of exhaustion come over him. His heart seemed to be tied to a stone and kept sinking, and the faster time passed, the faster the stone sank. The hour hand on the table quickly moved to the number 9, and the heavy stone sank to the bottom with a thud. He sat up straight, looked at the rhythmic walking of the second hand, stayed for two seconds, and stood up with his phone.

Passing by the secretary's desk, he whispered, "I'll go out." ”

"Good. She hurriedly stood up and answered.

"I'm eating here at noon, you can order food for me. After taking two steps, Mu Yi turned around and said.

"Good. The little girl who was the secretary looked at him blankly, and felt that the little boss's expression was even more strange. In just a few days, he seemed to be a different person.

Mu Yi sat in the driver's seat and was out of his mind for a while before starting the engine and driving towards the exit of the parking lot. This road does not need to be navigated, he remembers it very clearly, and even the mood of the last time is still fresh in his memory. The mixture of excited and pleasant memories made him feel dazed, as if someone had poked his fragile guts through his body. He almost subconsciously drove the car, and while driving, he was distracted, and before he knew it, he arrived at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau. From a distance, he saw Lin Yansheng standing at the door, she was wearing an ankle-length skirt and a white hat on her head, and she was also looking at herself.

Mu Yi parked the car, and after getting out of the car, he held on to the car and looked at her from afar, without taking the first step over. His hands were clenched into fists, a dense layer of sweat appeared on his body, and the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea in his heart were overturned together, and he didn't know what it tasted like. It took him a long time before he let go of his fist and walked slowly towards her.

Lin Yansheng still stood motionless, she looked at the ground with her eyes down, her expression a little depressed. Hearing the footsteps, she raised her head and glanced at him quickly, then looked away, and said lightly, "You are here." ”

Mu Yi stopped a meter away from her and answered. He wanted to see regret on her face, and as soon as she said the word "forget it", he could immediately go over and take her hand and hug her. But Lin Yansheng didn't say anything, she turned around and walked inside.

Mu Yi looked at her back in disappointment, and suddenly felt that there was no possibility of irreparable things. Stunned for a few seconds, he followed her steps and walked inside. The staff who handled the formalities for them had a somewhat indifferent face, as if they had seen too much of this kind of thing. She handled it with her hands and feet, and finally withdrew their marriage certificates and handed them the two divorce certificates separately.

Mu Yi looked at the bright red notebook, feeling that it was stinging his eyes, and he couldn't reach out to take it for a while.

Lin Yansheng glanced at him, she was a little moved, but she hid this emotion very well and did not let Mu Yi see it. The indifference and ruthlessness she disguised together with the little red book stabbed Mu Yi's heart. She reached out and took the notebook and put it in her bag, stood up, and said lightly, "I'll go first." ”

Mu Yi didn't seem to hear her. Lin Yansheng waited for two seconds, and without waiting for his response, he turned around and walked outside.

It was at this time that Mu Yi grabbed the small notebook and ran out after her footsteps. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his chest, staring at her face, breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling.

"Are you so ruthless?" he said, his expression painful.

Lin Yansheng was startled by his movements, and it took two seconds to react. She looked up at him, his face was only a few centimeters away from hers, and she could see the reflection of herself in his eyes very clearly. The person whose eyes were reflected had a somewhat surprised expression, but it was not because of Mu Yi's actions, but because she saw that her eyes were also full of pain.

Lin Yansheng hurriedly broke free from his hand, she took two steps back, lowered her head, and was a little flustered in her heart. At that moment, she almost succumbed to Mu Yi's eyes.

"You speak. Mu Yi said, reaching out again and grabbing her arm, but did not pull her over again.

"There's not much to say. After two seconds of silence, Lin Yansheng said. She disguised herself again, like a scumbag who read countless women and shook her hands ruthlessly.

"Yan Sheng. Mu Yi shouted, his gaze was a little misty, for a moment, he wanted to take her back into his arms, hug her tightly, and never let her leave. But Lin Yansheng's expression was so ruthless, and that ruthlessness stripped all his tender impulses away from his body little by little, until he unconsciously let go of his hand.

"Mu Yi. Lin Yansheng finally said, she still lowered her eyes and didn't look at him, "You will meet a better one." I'm not worth it. With that, she turned to leave, but her steps were heavy and sluggish, and it took her great effort to get to the side of the road. When she was sure that Mu Yi couldn't see herself, Lin Yansheng's disguise suddenly disappeared, she slowed down, and felt tears slide down her cheeks and drip onto the placket of her clothes.

Mu Yi looked at her back, until he couldn't see her anymore, he still stood dumbfounded, motionless. I don't know how long it was, maybe an hour, maybe only ten minutes, but he suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, pulling him back from his stupor. He looked around blankly, the small book was still in his hand, and the hard edges and corners stinged the palm of his hand. He exhaled, as if trying to exhale the heavy pain in his heart, but to no avail. The phone was still vibrating, and the vibration borered him, so he took it out of his pocket and glanced at the screen, which showed his mother's phone number.

"Mom. He asked, his tone slightly weak.

"Xiao Yi, do you want to come back for dinner?"

Mu Yi unconsciously rubbed his fingers and said, "No." ”

Yu Qinling hesitated for a moment and asked, "Have you gone to see Yan Sheng in the past two days? How is she? I heard Aunt He say that she went to deliver food to Yan Sheng, and Yan Sheng let her go back without even opening the door?"

Mu Yi glanced down at the divorce certificate in his left hand, exhaled, and said, "It's okay, Mom, don't let Aunt He go to her house in the future." ”

"What's wrong?Did Yan Sheng tell you?"

"Nope. Mu Yi said that he didn't want his parents to know about it for the time being, after all, his parents had been preparing for their wedding for a long time. If they knew, they would be disappointed, and he didn't have the strength to explain it to his parents, and he was so tired that it might take a long time to recover.

"How have you and Yan Sheng been in the past two days?" But Yu Qinling was sensitively aware of something, she was his mother after all, and she seemed to hear something from his tone.

"It's good. ”

"Okay. Yu Qinling sighed and said with a little hesitation, "That day, my mother just knew that you were imprisoned, and she was a little anxious, and she said something to Yan Sheng, which may have made her feel uncomfortable." You apologize to your mother for her, now that your Uncle Lin and Aunt Shen haven't come back yet, I'm worried that Yan Sheng can't take care of himself alone, or you can see how to talk to her, or let her move back to our house. When you have the wedding and the new house is almost decorated and ventilated, you two can move directly to the new home, and your father and I won't be able to disturb you. Speaking of this, she felt slightly happy, and for a long time, these troublesome things also made her feel very uncomfortable, "Fortunately, you are about to get married, Chong Chongxi, so that everyone is happy and happy." ”

Listening to these words, Mu Yi's heart was wooden, he couldn't feel the pain anymore, maybe the pain had continued, but he was used to it. After his mother said this, he was silent for a few seconds before he whispered, "Mom, I'll work first." ”

"Hey, okay. Yu Qinling instructed, "Remember to eat." ”

Mu Yi hung up the phone, put away the phone, and looked at the clouds in the sky in a daze. It seems to be raining today, the air is dull and stagnant, the sun is hidden behind dark clouds, and the sky is not as bright as it was just now. He remembered that Lin Yansheng didn't bring an umbrella, and he didn't know if he got in the car and returned home at this time, and he felt a little worried. But then, he smiled bitterly again, and at this point, his worries must have been a burden to her rather than a comfort, and she was so ruthless, as if all the good things she had done in the past were gone. Mu Yi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, if he could be like her, maybe he would feel better.

He turned and walked towards the parking area, and drove straight back to the office. Everyone in the company went back to eat, and there were very few people left. He didn't know that it was time for lunch, he had just stayed with Lin Yansheng, time flew by, and he didn't realize that several hours had passed. Back in the office, he smelled the smell of food and saw a few simple dishes and rice on the table next to the sofa, but he had no appetite at all, so he sat down in his chair and stared at the computer.

"Mr. Mu, do you want to help you warm up? I see that the food is a little cold. The secretary poked her head in, and the work card around her neck had her name written on it, Wu Xingqi. Mu Yi always couldn't remember her name, always called "you, you, you", this time when she came in, she specially turned the work card to the side of her name, so that this little Mu always remembered her name.

But Mu Yi obviously didn't notice her name tag, and said distractedly: "If you don't eat it, take it and throw it away." ”

Throw it away? Wu Xingqi was stunned, and couldn't help but be speechless in his heart. But seeing that Mu Yi's appearance didn't look like she was joking, she had no choice but to go forward and pack up the food, put it in a bag, and carry it outside. It's too wasteful to throw it away, so it's better to give it to stray cats and dogs, she thought to herself, walked out, and closed the door with her hand.

Mu Yi leaned back in his chair and looked at the ceiling in a daze, Lin Yansheng's face appeared on the ceiling, as if he was smiling shallowly, and as if he was crying.
