Chapter 321: The Heart Dies, Passing with the Wind
The sun is still shining, and it is still full of style. There's no scorching, there's no searing, just the intoxicating atmosphere that characterizes the West Coast of California.
What Lu Kaiwen felt was glaring and sharp. What I felt was a sharp irony and helplessness.
Standing in the sun, Kevin Lu was lost and hesitant. He suddenly had helplessness and desolation with no way out.
The towering buildings behind him and the surrounding buildings no longer have the sense of urban fashion and vitality that they once brought to them, and they seem to be pouring cold indifference and depression at the moment.
I was tightly wrapped in the cold, and I was being drained of my vitality and vitality from my body little by little.
Kevin Lu's world quickly dried up in the bright sunshine.
Standing apatheticly, the crowd shuttling through Mountain View Avenue overwhelmed him.
He has become a bumpy leaf floating in the torrent, drifting with the tide in a corner of the fashionable city.
Raising his head, Kevin Lu looked at the building above his head, and he subconsciously looked at the floor-to-ceiling window that he was once proud of.
The dazzling light reflected in the sunlight by the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass stung me deeply.
Retracting his gaze, Lu Kaiwen lowered his head and groaned, and soon he raised his head and looked at the mountains in the distance.
Stretching out his hand, a yellow cab quickly pulled up to the side.
"Forest Cemetery." Lu Kaiwen's tone was resolute and concise.
The taxi puffed up a cloud of smoke and squeezed into the traffic......
led Su Qing to visit the office environment in the building, and Cheng Mengqiu led Su Qing into an independent office.
This office has a glass window that looks out onto the office.
The interior is simple, with a sofa and coffee table being the only furnishings that are different from the rest of the office.
A floor-to-ceiling window lets in the sunlight in every corner.
"Come, sit behind the desk. Let me see what your office looks like. Cheng Mingyang sat on the sofa.
Su Qing sat in the swivel chair, and she was a little distracted.
"Kids. It's a little simpler here, not for girls. You can set up your office to your liking, and tell Linda if there is anything she does, she is the secretary of the company. Hehe, we only have one Linda here who is in charge of all the chores. No way, we're too stingy. In the U.S., you can save everything you can. There is no façade here. You'll get used to it. What do you think? Do you have any comments on the environment? The old man watched the girl and played the role of ease.
"Good. I need time to understand. "The girl seemed to be a little angry. Her body visibly straightened.
"Hmm...... So well, you are taking time to understand. Still, I'm sure your experience can handle the work here. In the United States, relationships between people are simple and simple. Work is work, and there is not so much intrigue. Our business is mainly investment, and the investment ideas here are all ...... There's a trace of Kevin, kid, you're sure you need him...... Leaving the company? The old man carefully guided the exchange.
The girl visibly hesitated, and she raised her eyes to look at the old man, and there was something in his eyes that the old man could read.
The old man read the girl's eyes, which seemed to be resentment, and it seemed to be other emotions that he couldn't see.
"Good boy, do you have any grievances? Did he bully you? The old man smiled. Tolerance also bloomed.
The girl nodded. She seemed reluctant to speak.
"Come, sit down next to the old man." The old man raised his hand and patted the sofa beside him.
The girl obediently stood up and sat down beside the old man.
The old man stroked the girl's hair, he did not speak, he seemed to accompany the girl to enjoy the warmth in the silence.
"I'm sorry I've caused you and everyone a problem." Or the girl broke the silence.
"Huh. The world of young people is the world of colour. The emotional world is the most unpredictable. We have nothing but envy. You Cheng Bo was also young, I understand you. Kid, have you thought about it? Won't you regret it? The old man's tone became more and more relaxed.
“…… I don't know, I just know that my heart hurts and I need my own world. With him, I was nothing but lost. The girl lingered in hesitation.
"Huh. What are you going to do? Drive him away, where can you drive him? Where can he go? The old man cooperated with the girl.
“…… He deserves to go to hell...... I was with him. The girl gritted her teeth.
The old man's brow furrowed, and the girl's mood disappeared without a trace.
"I'm sorry, uncle. That's my state of mind at the moment. He wants to be perfect, but I don't want him to succeed. I will not forgive him for deceiving me. I will never forgive. The girl quickly recovered from her anger.
The old man put away his hand. He began to examine the girl's eyes.
"Are you serious? …… How long are you prepared to forgive him. Child, paranoia should be temporary, and I don't want you to dwell on his mistakes all the time. He has a hard time. He cares too much about you. The old man suddenly had the embarrassment of searching his intestines and scraping his stomach. He saw the determination in the girl's eyes.
“…… Uncle, forgive me. I've let you down. I don't know if I'm going to change. All I know is that he is in front of me as a reminder of my ridiculousness and patheticness. Until now, I am still Su Qing, I am a girl who longs for love rather than the girl who is destined to enjoy spoiling. I forgive Xia Xiaofu's mother, and I am willing to accept a woman who is lonely to death because of me. However, I will never forgive Kevin Lu. Forgive me for my willfulness, uncle, I didn't mean to......" The girl trembled and fell into the old man's arms.
"Good...... Good...... Don't be afraid, I'll protect you...... I'm sure you'll come out on your own. The heart needs sunshine. There's no shortage of sunshine here......" The old man patted the girl on the back and gently put away all the words he was ready to say.
Fall on your knees on the soft lawn surrounded by the forest, and kneel down in front of the white tombstones lying quietly in the verdant greenery. Lu Kaiwen's heart finally had a trace of peace.
Reading the clear handwriting on the tombstone, Lu Kaiwen's tears could no longer be controlled.
Tears wash away their mess, their guilt and anxiety, their hesitation and helplessness.
Kevin Lu's throat squirmed, and he organized his messy thoughts.
"I'm sorry...... Mom. I...... I'm here for help. I...... I really don't know what to do. Kerr ...... She was finally sad. I...... My hunch finally came true. I still hurt her. I wonder how deep her wounds are. I didn't know how to heal her wounds. She...... Let me go, let me get out of the company, get out of here, get out of her. What am I going to do? Mom, how much I want to rush over and hug Kerr, how much I want to use all the beautiful language to make her change her decision. But...... I don't dare, I'm afraid she'll really ruin your necklace and ruin my ring. I'm helpless right now, and I seem to have to make a choice. Mom, what should I do? Lu Kaiwen poured out his powerlessness, and he kissed the smooth stone tablet deeply.
Closing his eyes, Lu Kaiwen recalled the sound of the vowel, and the appearance of the mother was entangled with the girl's expression at the moment.
The mother's appearance is so warm, but the girl's appearance is complicated.
"Mom. What should have come is still coming. I've always had a vague sense of unease. Shall I tell you the story of Kerr? You'll be proud of her. I met a girl whose name is Su Qing. I developed an appreciation for her at work, she is an attractive girl. She's smart and low-key, she's independent and quiet. She does not have the flamboyance and vulgarity of other girls, on the contrary, she is mature and introverted. These peculiar qualities are very attractive, and her background is pitiful, but she herself has no trace of an orphan girl. She is like a buried gold in the city, ready to shine at any moment. I grew to like this girl. I finally couldn't resist using my power to take possession of this girl. Mom, am I letting you down? Fortunately, this girl has a crush on me, and she doesn't add to my psychological guilt. We don't become a burden to each other when we meet. Later, she suddenly wanted to push me away, and I took the opportunity to push her away because of my guilt for Kerr, but we were not reconciled, we just deceived ourselves. And then ...... I kept hurting her, and just as she was about to break down, I realized that she was our Kerr. The two girls finally became one person. I can finally not have any psychological burden, I can finally love them with my whole body and mind. However, Mom, Ke'er doesn't think like this, she takes on two roles at the same time, she prefers to be herself, to be the Su Qing who was hurt by me. Mom, how do I explain all this? I also love Su Qing, but it's a kind of fettered love. How can she believe that what I love Su Qing is love for women, and what I love is a responsibility, pampering and care. Mom, she probably won't give me a chance. She now seems to be going to fight, against everything about me. I have no choice at all, in the face of her confrontation at the moment, I can't let the confrontation become irreversible, I can only seem to avoid it. But where do I go? Where can I keep in touch with her? Where can she be soft-hearted? …… Mom, can you tell me the answer? Lu Kaiwen's voice became more and more weak and helpless.
He seemed to say that he was tired, he seemed exhausted, and he slumped on the lawn.
The warm sunshine made Lu Kaiwen sleepy, and the fatigue of physical and mental exhaustion hit him.
Kevin Lu closed his eyes, and he blocked out all sounds. He fell asleep......
The coolness drove away the drowsiness, and Lu Kaiwen opened his eyes.
The afterglow of the setting sun dragged the last nostalgia and slowly disappeared, and the world became blurred.
The gentle breeze brought coolness, which dispelled chaos and all confusion.
He shook his body and shook off the last trace of thought. Kevin Lu stood up from the lawn.
"Mom. I don't have time to hesitate. I'm going to arrange everything here. I'm going to make a final effort. If Kerr insisted on letting me go, I would choose S City. I will be there waiting for her forgiveness. That's where Su Qing became Kerr, and that's where Su Qing and I met. I won't give her a chance to forget me. I'm going to be a kite, Mom, hold Kerr, hold me. Don't let go of your hand. Mom, I'm gone, bless me. Lu Kaiwen has resoluteness, and he has a relieved resoluteness.
Turning around, Kevin Lu walked into the twilight.
In Cheng Mengqiu's study, only the soft table lamp exudes depression and heaviness.
"You've decided? What are you going to do in S City? If you can, I still think you can go to Province F to take charge of the project of the Motor City, you are more reassuring than Zhongshu. The old man stared at the young man intensely. He was observing all the subtleties of the young man.
"No, I'm not going to get involved in anything related to the company. I can't let Su Qing feel deceived again. If I were involved in the project, she would think that everyone was helping me against her. Her pride does not allow such a thing to happen. Uncle Cheng, I've thought about it, I can only go to S City, which is a place that Su Qing can't give up. Uncle Cheng, I decided. Kevin Lu stood up, his figure cast on the wall, casting a long shadow.
The old man looked up to follow the young man's movements, and he sighed softly.
"Okay. At this point, there should be a compromise. You can make the best moves. Are you sure this walk will make it easy for her? Surely you won't lose her because you're gone? The old man's tone was helpless and sighed.
"I'm not sure. Uncle Cheng, I'm not afraid of losing her, but I'm afraid of handing her over to others, and others can't treat her like me. I give her freedom and I want her to have her own choices. However, I have some arrangements to make, and I hope you will help me. Uncle Cheng, can I make my own request? Lu Kaiwen waved his hand, as if to sweep away the troubles brought to him by the old man.
"Say, I will satisfy you. This may be the last thing I'm an old man do for you. Hehe, I'm getting older, and I'm getting more and more hypocritical. I'm messing around with the kids. Well, hurry up. What do you need Cheng Bo to do? In Los Angeles, I still have this confidence. The old man burst out laughing. There was heartiness and pride in his laughter.
"Thank you, Uncle Cheng, that's all I can think about now. What I write to you is all an arrangement for her. Kevin Lu hurriedly wrote on a piece of paper.
The old man's eyes lit up, and he could hardly hide the relief and appreciation in his eyes.
In the gentle breeze, the sound of the waves brings the joy of a summer night, but also ripples quietly.
The water foamed at the ankles again and again, and retreated again and again into the dark night.
Sitting in the soft sand, the tranquility and comfort of the beach allowed Su Qing to immerse herself in her own world.
What floats in that world is all that delicate face, all handsome and disdainful, all pampered and meticulous care.
The memories of the scenes are becoming clearer and clearer.
Girls let themselves float in the ups and downs.
The monotonous but beautiful sound of the waves fills the memories with charm and makes the memories even more intoxicating.
"What are you doing? …… Are you resentful of me? …… How would you deal with my troubles? …… Do you know? Whether you're by my side or not, I won't be at ease. I decided to give up on you, but I also gave up on myself...... Why can't I allow myself to be a girl's vulgarity? Why can't I always learn to accept? Am I destined to be unhappy? ......" the girl poured out her melancholy to the sea and the sea breeze.
The wind is whimpering, the wind is chanting. All the sorrow seems to be drifting in the wind.
"You probably can't remember the first time we met? Maybe you don't care who I am? But, I care. I can't tolerate being slighted...... Grandma, what should I do? He's leaving, where do I go from here? ......" The girl suddenly became timid and panicked.
Holding the seawater, the girl gulped it down.
There is no blood-pumping heat of spirits, only cold bitterness and disgusting gas.
Like splashing ink, there is only a heavy bitterness in the sea. There is only a heavy coldness.
