Chapter 42: Opposite Parallel Lines

It has been a few days since I returned to the village to recuperate, the sunlight outside the window is particularly dazzling, the sunlight piercing the clouds is like a golden silk thread, criss-crossing, depicting a beautiful scene, I got up and walked slowly outside, "Ah Yuan, what are you going to do when you get up," Grandpa looked at me as he walked down the stairs, and asked worriedly, "It's okay, grandpa, I'm much better, I want to go out and walk casually," I'm really not used to staying in the room for so long, and I still want to go outside.

"Okay, don't go too far, it's time to eat when you get back," Grandpa told me a few words of concern, and then looked down and continued to read the newspaper. Walking out of the door, I stretched out my arms lazily, feeling the warmth of the sun, the streets of the village were once again prosperous, and the children of each family got the permission of the adults to run out of the house to play happily, and I suddenly felt a sense of relief in my heart, maybe it didn't matter whether the case was solved or not, as long as the village returned to its previous peace, the most important thing was to restore the peace of the village again.

"Li Guoyuan, stop," suddenly there was a soft cry behind me, it was the sound that hit my heart, it was the spell that made my emotions explode, my whole body became stiff, and I stood in place like this, yes, I didn't dare to turn around, because when I turned around, I was afraid that everything was just my own illusion, and at the same time as I was in a daze, a beautiful girl in a blue floral dress with a smile walked from behind me and stood straight in front of me.

At that moment, my heart stopped, "Stupid," Xia Rui looked at Li Guoyuan in front of him, and gently put his hand on his face and stroked it, it was the contact of body temperature, I mustered up the courage to put my hand on the back of her hand, feeling the collision from the soul, my consciousness had already broken free from the shackles of dreams, and my intuition told me that this was not a dream, "It's you, it's really you Rui'er," I couldn't suppress my emotions anymore, and hugged that lovely person tightly in my arms.

On the path of the village, I gently took Rui'er's hand and walked slowly on the village road, as if there was only me and Rui'er in the whole world, that was the taste of first love, the clinic uncle not far away was standing at the door looking at the happy lovers, showing a relieved smile, "Ah Yuan, I already know everything about the matter, but I didn't expect that in the end, Han Dong became the mastermind, and the third aunt also became an accomplice, is everything on weekdays an illusion?" Xia Rui looked at me blankly and said.

"I don't know, since this happened, I lost my two best brothers," the scene from childhood to adulthood, the joy that filled the faces of me and Qiangzi Dongzi, time is no more, everything is different. "Stupid, don't you still have me, fortunately, the person I like has always been you," Thinking of Han Dong's terribleness, Xia Rui still felt a sense of coldness, fortunately the person she loved was not a conspirator, and she pulled Li Guoyuan's hand tighter.

"Rui'er, as long as you're safe and sound, everything doesn't matter, the case has been closed, and the clues have been broken, I think the matter should be over," Seeing that the beauty in front of me was still intact, I really didn't want to see her hurt again, maybe it really should be stopped, so we walked along the village road over and over again, I grabbed Rui'er's hand all the way, and I didn't want to let go for a moment.

"Ah Yuan, my father decided not to let me go back to the village again, I came back this time because I wanted you to come with me to live in my city, okay?" Xia Rui's watery eyes looked directly at me, waiting for my answer. "This?" I looked back at the village and remembered my kind mother and elderly grandfather at home, "I'm sorry Rui'er, I can't leave here yet," I slowly let go of my clenched hand and walked in the direction of home.

"Ah Yuan, I," Xia Rui looked at Li Guoyuan's footsteps, and then looked forward, there was Li Guoyuan's home, and this was where he grew up, Xia Rui suddenly thought of something, tears instantly filled her entire eyes, she couldn't bear to leave her lover, but thinking of the hurt her father, Xia Rui turned around and walked in the opposite direction. I feel that Xia Rui, who has gradually gone away, I don't know what it feels like in my heart, only the unforgettable pain, I looked back at Xia Rui with that reluctant eyes, but my footsteps walked slowly in the direction of home, just like this to the left and to the right, and gradually the distance between the two became farther and farther.
