Chapter 51: Grace Break

The moment the door opened, the air seemed to condense, and time stood almost still. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Zhang Shen leaned his back against the door of her room and sat down. The room card in his hand was also neatly wrapped in a letterhead printed with the hotel's loge.

This means that he sat at her door all night and waited for her all night.

He thought that maybe he forgot to take the phone, maybe it was some other reason, in short, he had loved Su Mu for ten years, and he had no reason to doubt her.

Until Su Mu opened the door on the opposite side and met him head-on. He could be sure that the joy on her face had been there before he saw him. Coupled with this big-name limited edition that he couldn't afford with a year's salary, his heart was still shaken!

He lowered his head, avoiding her gaze. Then, slowly stood up.

――――

At this scene, Su Mu only felt a pain like a heart-piercing file, she looked at Zhang Shen's tired and decadent face, and watched him slowly stand up.

The transition from looking down to looking up, his lowered eyes, finally met her.

The two were only separated by less than a meter, and the only communication was this life-threatening silence.

Sweet, bitter, and painful emotions accumulate in my heart, and I can't figure it out.

……

Zhang Shen, do you know?

I can't even ask if you choose her or me, like that.

If you had to choose, you did it three years ago.

But I'm still willing to wait, waiting for you to say "just right".

But, did you know that this is an ordeal for me, like a final judgment waiting for you?

―――――

The corridors of the morning, the silence outside.

Looking at Su Mu's immobile figure standing at the door, he didn't make a sound for a long time. Chen Cheng walked behind her, and through the door, he could see the man outside the door.

Zhang Shen, Su Mu, and Chen Cheng were motionless, and the three of them were frozen at the door.

10 seconds, 30 seconds, 50 seconds, 1 minute.

"Su Mu," Zhang Shen said almost with difficulty: "I am married to her, and at most I will do IVF in the future." So, if you want, we can ......"

Zhang Shen raised his head and looked at Su Mu.

looked at Chen Cheng behind her again, only to feel that her heart was hammered hard, and it hurt.

"We can ......" the latter words, he still couldn't say.

Su Mu's tears began to fall one by one, and she understood his voice.

Squatting on the side of the road last night, she thought about it, and her answer was yes.

However, this willingness has a premise, Luo Shanshan does not love him.

But the woman's instinct told her that the girl loved him, and loved her very much.

She squatted at the intersection and cried for so long because she knew that if she was entangled, she would live in the middle of scheming with another woman for the rest of her life.

Rather than the humility of love, it is better to love freely.

So, she was silent.

"Silly girl. Zhang Shen patted Su Mu's head, he also understood her silent heart, and said bitterly: "It's okay, being friends is also a lifetime." ā€

There was silence again.

Su Mu organized all kinds of words in his mind that could respond to him.

Until his hand was wrapped behind him, he just grabbed Chen Cheng's arm and pulled him beside him.

The words that came out of her mouth became something like this: "I'm sorry, I don't think he can tolerate you!"

Chen Cheng pulled out his hand and took her into his arms. In fact, he was holding her, because he knew that she was about to lose it. Then he looked at Zhang Shen indifferently.

Zhang Shen: "If you can't be a lover, do you have to make a decision?"

Su Mu stopped talking and confronted each other in silence.

Zhang Shen responded mechanically "yes", raised his head with a smile, and walked involuntarily towards the elevator.

After a "ding" sound, the elevator door slowly opened, full of foreign guests, he hesitated, or squeezed in, did not look back.

―――――

He turned his back to the door and didn't turn around.

The moment he entered the elevator, Su Mu suddenly understood what he said three years ago.

He said that the timing of loving someone is very important, and it is better to love sooner rather than just right.

He said that being friends is a lifetime!

At the moment when the door closed, she quickly chased after it and ran to the elevator.

Press the down button, but it's too late, the door closes first.

She ran to the escape route, in the narrow hallway, running wildly.

The indescribable pain spread quickly. It spreads like blood to every nerve ending in the body.

She ran round and round in the hallway.

She was going to catch up with him, she had something to say to him.

She was going to tell him that it was all a lie to him. She doesn't want to be self-righteous and let each other live. She wants to be entangled with him until she is old.

She was wrong, she could keep waiting for him! They could go and live a few months a year where no one knew them. She can appear in front of people as his sister. As long as he can be by her side, gossip is nothing. The world without him is too lonely, too indifferent, and terrifying.

She cried out in her heart over and over again:

Please don't just give up on me, please don't give up on me.

I can't give up everything we have.

The microphone made of disposable water cups in the yard, the bicycles waiting for us after school in the carport, your favorite Wumao Malatang on the street corner, the discounted milk that is about to expire in the supermarket, the English test paper waiting for me to send the answer, and the small bench outside the door of Chen Cheng's concert...... We've gone through ten years, why can't the end be you?

No matter how far this road goes, I am willing to wait for you at the end.

Please wait for me.

……

She circled down the stairwell, running, running, running as hard as she could. Tears flowed uncontrollably, she was like a madman at the moment, it wasn't her intention, but she didn't care.

The text on the corridor is reduced from "22 floors" to "1 floor".

When she arrived, she saw hope behind the door, so she continued to run with her exhausted body.

When the door opened, Zhang Shen checked out at the front desk not far away and walked towards the door.

It's in time, it's really in time.

Su Mu stepped forward, wanting to run towards him.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her shoulders and grabbed her, and the whole person was violently beaten and dragged back into the escape channel.

She turned around angrily, it was Chen Cheng.

His forehead was still covered with sweat, his T-shirt was soaked and sticking to his chest, and his palms were scorchingly hot. He held her arm firmly, and his dark eyes stared at her.

Su Mu turned his face and wanted to wave his hand away, but he buckled it tighter.

She tried more and more desperately to break free from his hand, crying and shouting: Let go of me! It's too late......

Chen Cheng let go of her shoulder, but before she could continue chasing, he suddenly backhanded, really, neatly, and slapped her.

Su Mu turned his face sideways, and there was a buzz in his ears.

The grief that invaded the whole body was overshadowed by the fiery pain on his face, the blood seemed to stop boiling, and everything came to an abrupt halt.

The two of them breathed hastily, gulps of air slicing their throats.

Chen Cheng asked, "Are you awake?"

His hands clasped her face, and with calloused fingertips, he wiped the tears from her face.

It's just that her tears are still falling uncontrollably, just like the night when Da Zhang Shen left.

However, today she chased it, and the ending was the same.

Her eyes were completely blurred.

If tears are the only way to express emotions when you can't explain your heartbreak with your mouth. Then at this moment, Su Mu has already behaved vividly.

……

After a long time, she finally stopped, looked at Chen Cheng, and said softly, "Thank you." ā€

――――

Outside the hotel, Zhang Shen looked at the elevator in the lobby, the taxi master urged, he bent down and sat in, and the car drove out.

……

Su Mu, you are the person I have loved for ten years, how is it possible, just by your words, you can force me to retreat.

In this life, my love will not rest until death!
