Chapter 10: Words from the Bottom of My Heart at the Grave

Looking at the young and familiar smiling face on the tombstone photo, Cui Zhenlong had mixed feelings for a while, and the mood that was originally good when he went out was also overshadowed for a long time. After staring at him for a long time, he sighed softly, crouched down to the tombstone and began to talk to himself: "Aizhen, I am very sorry! I only found out about you when you were so seriously ill, and I didn't have the opportunity to go back to China to see you for the last time, and now it's been so long to come to see you, will you blame me for not being a friend enough? … Hehe~ I think you will definitely blame me, if you can still stand in front of me now, I guess the punches and kicks are light, right?! ā€

"Originally, we agreed together that we would be relatives for the rest of our lives, but as time went by, the relationship between the two of us seemed to be gradually estranged! When did this start? Well~~ If I'm not mistaken, it should be the day I confessed to Jung so-yeon, right?! … To be honest, did you feel particularly lost at the time? … Don't deny it! You've been secretly liking me in your heart, right? Just look at your eyes, although my EQ is low, it is not so negative that it is not a negative number! … Okay, okay!! Count me wrong, your Miss Li is naturally beautiful, and people who love you can line up from Dongdaemun to Guanghua Gate, it's my great honor for a little person like me to be liked by you, so it's okay, right? ā€

Cui Jinlong was talking to himself as he opened the large package he had brought, and found that in addition to a few common fruits, there were also soy sauce beef in a convenient bowl, a few small pieces of wormwood rice cakes, and two bottles of Jinro soju, which are commonly used in Korean rituals. Cui Zhenlong carefully placed these sacrifices side by side in front of the tombstone, then took out two glass wine glasses from the package and put them together, and then spread the layer of fabric on the outside of the package directly on the ground, and the person also sat cross-legged in the direction of the tombstone, just opposite Li Aizhen's photo.

"I said Aizhen, I came to see you today, should I have a drink? … Don't say no! You're an adult, and the laws of South Korea don't control you! As he spoke, Cui Zhenlong reached out and took a bottle of soju, unscrewed the cap, and poured it into the two glasses, but his mouth was still chattering.

"As you can see, I'm pouring myself wine for you today, and I'm going to be unlucky in the next three years! For the sake of this situation, should you forgive me?! … Haha~~ Don't take it seriously, I'm kidding! Actually, I don't believe in this at all... Why not, you ask? Hey~~ This can involve the biggest secret in my heart! Want to know? So how about we toast this together and then discuss it? With that, he picked up the glass of wine that was far away from him and sprinkled it cleanly on the dirt beside him, and then drank the glass of wine in front of him.

ā€œO.K! If you drink all the wine, then I won't sell it! Cui Zhenlong raised his hand to wipe the wine stains left on the corner of his mouth, and then looked left and right like a thief, and after finding that there was indeed no one else around, he moved his body in the direction of the tombstone, and lowered his voice, and said secretly: "This is a secret that I have hidden in my heart for a long time, and I have never mentioned it to anyone until now, including my parents and relatives!" You can't tell anyone else about it after you hear it, you know? … If you don't speak, I'll just say yes, and then I'll start talking! Actually, I'm a one-in-a-million reborn! In his previous life, he was still a Chinese man with red roots, just like described in many novels, the soul suddenly passed through with a 'beep'! ā€

"Hey~~ Aizhen, don't believe it, what I said is true! Many of the major events that have happened in the world in the next few years are in my mind! However, the advantages of these prophets have become less and less as time goes by, and without them, I am just an ordinary person with some special experiences! ā€œ

"So, I will go all the way to the United States to study in the past few years, after all, opportunism can only be temporary, and it will not last long, only through their own hard work to accumulate, learn the ability of the hand that is the real wealth, in order to really use it!"

"Come~ In order to congratulate me on my successful return from studying abroad, let's have another drink!" Cui Zhenlong drank the wine in the cup in the same way as just now, then pinched a piece of sauce beef in the convenient bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing vigorously while still pouting his fingers and said, "I eat a piece of beef, Aizhen You shouldn't mind, right?" It's not good for your stomach if you drink alcohol and don't eat food..."

"O.K, let's continue with the conversation! Ai-jeong, do you know? Shortly after I arrived in the United States, I almost said goodbye to the world again! … Don't think I'm exaggerating, I was less than 1 centimeter away from death! I blame myself for being confused... Uh~ Sorry! When I say 'ghost' here, I don't mean you! Don't take it seriously, it's just a metaphor! ā€

"Alright! I'll admit that I got lost and walked into that damn slum, but I didn't expect to be targeted by two thugs for a while, originally I didn't take them seriously, you know, I studied karate for a few years, although I relaxed myself a little later, but it shouldn't be a problem to confidently handle two or three ordinary adults with bare hands! ā€

"But what I didn't expect was that these two people actually had guns with them! It's not a simulated toy gun, it's a real guy! The cold barrel was right on my temple, and as long as the gun wielder gently pulled the trigger and said 'bang', I was completely game/over without any suspense! Even after all this time, I still remember the scene vividly! That was the closest I've ever been to death! ā€

"At that moment of life and death, I could even feel that death was hovering around me, and the whole person had an illusion of prostration. To be honest, I was really scared in my heart, this is not like in the novel, the protagonist can face the threat of death without changing his face, I don't have that big heart! ā€

"At that time, my whole mind was in a state of confusion, and there were many, many complicated thoughts, including my parents, sister, brothers, relatives, friends, and even my pets... But guess who came to my mind first? ā€

"Hahaha~~ The first thing I thought of was Zheng Xiuyan! This woman who hurt me the most! It's not funny at all! By the way, Aizhen, you may not know that Zheng Xiuyan and I have already broken up, and she dumped me, just for her so-called star dream! ā€

When he said this, Cui Zhenlong pursed his lips with disdain, turned his head and spit to the side before continuing: "Let's continue the topic just now, those two black gangsters with guns are actually just asking for money, and after they snatched the thousands of dollars from me, they didn't mean to continue to embarrass me, which was also my biggest luck that day!" ā€

"I'll admit I'm scared to death! Even if I have passed through the soul once, those who have come back to life still feel the fear of death! So I also learned a truth from this matter: a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall! In order to prevent problems before they happen, no amount of preparation is too much. So since that day, I have had a few more bodyguards by my side, and every time I go out alone, they will take turns following me to keep me safe. ā€

"Of course, Aizhen, you also know my character, I'm not a person who will swallow my anger all the time when I suffer a loss! Since those two thugs dare to provoke me, they will naturally take revenge! … I paid only $200,000 to 'invite' the two thugs, but this 'please' was a little peculiar, with their eyes covered with black cloth and their hands tied behind their backs, and they were brought to me like two lambs waiting to be slaughtered. ā€

"And then there's the best part of the story, where I take an all-metal baseball bat and smash their kneecaps one by one, once and twice, and a third time until I'm satisfied... En~~ Originally, I didn't know that the sound of the fracture was so crisp and pleasant, and with the screams of Nachestei coming out of the mouth, there was a strange sense of fit..."

Although the topic was a bit cruel, Cui Zhenlong's expression still looked flat, as if he was telling a thing that was completely insignificant to him, but the smile that appeared at the corner of his mouth from time to time somehow always gave people a chilling and terrifying feeling, "Those two little thugs just kept rolling back and forth in front of me, wailing, cursing, begging... But they don't pose any threat to me, and they won't even know who is behind them for the rest of their lives, that's the magic of money! As for the end, I also left 100,000 US dollars each of them as a settling-in fee, Aizhen, do you think I'm very kind? ā€¦ā€

Maybe it's because of the effect of alcohol, or maybe there are so many things hidden in his heart, which makes Cui Zhenlong's spirit feel extremely depressed, so today in this special environment, he finally opened his heart, and in front of Li Aizhen's tombstone, Balabala said all the secret things like pouring beans on a bamboo tube.

The time was soon approaching noon, and the time agreed with the driver was approaching, Cui Zhenlong slowly stood up, patted the dust on his body, tidied up his suit and crooked tie, and looked around again, only to find that he was still the only one in this cemetery, and he couldn't even see half of the ghost. Perhaps he realized that what he just said would not be heard by others, so Cui Zhenlong let out a light breath, as if he had let go of something important, and the whole person looked a lot more relaxed.

"Okay, Aizhen, it's time for me to leave after so long, but before I leave, I want to remind you that don't come to me if you have anything to do, even in your sleep! You know I'm the most afraid of ghosts, and if you're scared out of the way, you can't afford it! So remember! This kind of joke is not allowed! … I'm leaving, I'll come back to see you next time I have time! ā€

Cui Zhenlong simply cleaned up the sacrifices on the ground and then turned around and left without the slightest pause. But what he didn't notice was that around Li Aizhen's tombstone behind him, some wild flowers were also swaying from side to side in a windless state, as if they were saying goodbye to him, maybe someone in the dark was really listening to everything he said, after all, even such a ridiculous thing as crossing has happened, let alone others?
