Chapter 63: Disappearing
In the silence of the night, the air is cool, and a faint haze envelops the streets of the city, like fog and illusion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I looked at the tall buildings around me, and recalled the scene in "Qing Ke", two completely different worlds, far apart but inextricably linked.
Maybe I also have one or several records about my past life, so I have such a fate in this life.
The path next to the traffic post is not far from my nest, and it takes more than ten minutes to get there.
The path between the two high walls was still there, but the more I walked inside, the more I felt a little fear.
Because there was no plaque at the end of the road, the flickering lights were gone, and the tall glass windows that could see through the inside were gone.
The darkness of everything confirmed one thing, the door of a library had been closed to me, and I really couldn't go back.
"Gu, Gu Liang?" Call him by name and hope he will show up, even if it means he can give me another chance to choose again.
I banged the brick wall that had once been the door of the library, and kept calling his name, but he seemed to have abandoned me here, leaving me forever.
It's too much, it's really too much, is it just because of my words that he can become so cold.
Maybe that's why I'm reluctant to open my heart to other people, whether it's the human heart or those strange species, you don't know what your future will be like because of them.
The tears of bitter laughter slipped down little by little, and the sky began to snow again.
I don't even feel like white snowflakes like elves anymore, because seeing them fall in front of me only reminds me of the beginning, and it makes me feel like a knife.
I returned home with heavy footsteps, seemingly unconcerned about the strange word on my neck, perhaps the only thing that could record what I had really had.
I want to try to be that ordinary Lu Wei again, silently and quietly living in the book that only belongs to me.
Watching the morning light creep into my window eaves, I lost sleep.
In fact, I was still wondering if he had chosen to leave my world, why didn't he let me forget about him, so that I might live a happier life, or if this was his punishment for me.
As I packed my bags for work, I seemed to have forgotten what my job was. I would still casually glance at the path when I passed through that intersection, but I knew in my heart that there was no more bookstore.
"Lu Wei? Are you feeling better? It's good to rest at home for a few more days, I'll help you get it on the manager's side..." Li Xiang greeted me like a cannon when he saw me, and I could only smile and nod in response to him.
However, my calmness did not make the colleagues around me perceive anything, and perhaps it has always been the case, I live as if I am invisible.
During the lunch break, a few other colleagues in the office went out to eat, and I sat at my desk staring blankly at the wallpaper on my computer screen, changing the scenery every few seconds.
"Lu Wei, Lu Wei! I've brought you lunch, so let's eat together. Li Xiang came back from outside in a hurry and put a box of packaged fast food on my table. You eat chicken thigh rice and I eat beef rice... or do you eat beef and I eat chicken thighs? You choose first. ”
I looked sideways at him with a hesitant expression, and I was a little moved.
"Li Xiang・・Let's get married..." said softly, and I wasn't sure if it was in my heart or if I had already said it.
"Well, okay! ・・Huh?? What do you say? He seemed to think that I had made a choice about what to eat, but suddenly it seemed that something was not quite right, and he looked at me in confusion.
They looked at each other for a long time, and I was sure I really said what I thought. I shouldn't break the contract with a promise of a feather, and even if she may not appear in my life, I have to have a clear conscience.
"I said let's get married." I repeat what I just said.
"Lu Wei, are you... serious?" Li Xiang raised his head and looked around the office, scratched his head and smirked twice: "You all come out!" I see you! ――”
I still looked at him indifferently, and he looked at me and muttered helplessly, "No one else?" ”
"Hmm. No one else is there. ”
He seemed to suddenly think of something, and put on an expression of knowing the truth: "Mobile phone, you take out your mobile phone, are you playing truth or dare with anyone?" ”
I pulled my phone out of my pocket and put it on the table, and the pitch-black screen showed that there were no calls.
Li Xiang finally quieted down and watched me silently.
"Is it serious to get married?"
I nodded.
The smile on his face showed that he had thought the same way about me.
"Great, great, great..." Li Xiang became a little overwhelmed, did happiness come too suddenly? After being excited for a while, he finally calmed down: "Xiaowei, is it because the chicken leg rice I bought for you moved you, that's why you decided to stay with me?" ”
"You still call me Lu Wei, it's not because of chicken leg rice, it's because I think you're good."
Li Xianghan smiled and nodded: "Why don't we go shopping and watch a movie at night?" Recently, a lot of films have been released, and I heard that there is a foreign animation that is very touching, and I can cry when I watch eight and a half out of ten. Then I invite you to go to the lively road to eat something delicious, how about it? ”
He recounted many plans, and I could hear them but remember none of them, just silently agreeing with his ideas.
What does it matter? It doesn't matter where you go, what you do, what you eat, or what you eat.
On the Nth day of my separation from Youjian Shuya, in fact, I still can't get back to the Lu Wei I used to be, even if it looks the same on the outside, the inner one who likes fantasy, sentimentality, self-inflicted affection, and even the sullen personality in Gu Fan's mouth has all disappeared.
I felt like there was always a dark cloud overhead, making me breathless and feeling aggrieved.
Li Xiang would happily wait for me downstairs at my house every day to go to work together, and go back with me in the evening. The good thing about having him by my side is that I don't have too much time to wallow in sadness.
"Lu Wei, we're here." His sudden voice pulled my thoughts back to the fact that I was already standing in front of a shop.
Li Xiang grabbed my hand and walked into the bright store, the red carpet and the glittering booth under my feet, I knew that this was not an ordinary specialty store.
"Lu Wei, shall we buy a pair of engagement rings? I originally wanted to surprise you, but I'm really afraid that it won't be good if you can't wear it when you buy it, so I think I'll take you here and choose a style you like. Li Xiang said as he pulled me to the counter.
I looked down at the platinum ring inside, and suddenly remembered the ring that Gu Liang gave me, the place I thought was a dream, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I was happy when I put on the ring.
"You're smiling... It's been a long time since I've seen you smile so happily. Which one I like, I asked the waiter to take it out and try it. Li Xiang looked at me happily and said.
But my heart plummeted and fell to the bottom again.
