Chapter 178: A Joke of Fate

I didn't plan to go in after sending her home, but I couldn't bear to say goodbye to her outside the door when I looked at her expectant look in her eyes.

I silently followed her into the villa, which was still the same grace and luxury as I was familiar with, and walked in as if I were in a castle in medieval Europe.

Nothing happened to her and me in this house. I think of the first time I brought her back from the hospital because of her stomach problems, I think of the moment when she tricked me into cooking for her, and the time I nursed her for a sprained foot, and the fact that she blackmailed me into blowing her hair......

The scene was as clear as yesterday, and it made my nose a little sour! However, this is probably the last time I set foot here......

Mu Xichun didn't interrupt my thoughts, and let me stand in the center of the hall with a dull gaze.

She took out a bottle of red wine and two glasses from the cupboard and said, "Can you have a glass of wine with me?" ”

I was still silent, but at the moment I suddenly didn't want to refuse any of her requests, even if she could make any more excessive demands! There's not much I can do for her, so let me take a little more memory with me before I leave......

My girl, after tonight I'm afraid we'll be in the future......

"What are you thinking?" She asked faintly as she handed me a glass of wine.

"Nothing!" I shook my head slightly, forcibly retracted my thoughts, took the wine glass and drank it dry, but it tasted like a thousand things, making me sad for no reason.

I put down my glass and wanted to say goodbye, but I accidentally saw a document on the coffee table, and the cover showed the "Research Report on the Construction of Tourism Projects in Hanging Water Town" and an invitation to the cultural and art festival. I think this is probably some kind of project that the company has been taking on recently, and she is probably going to do some unfinished work at home when she brings back the papers.

"It's late, you get off early! I'm leaving! I said goodbye to her, and though I was really reluctant to leave, I knew that I could not stay here for too long, and I even felt that every minute I spent with her, the wall in my heart would collapse a minute, and I was afraid that the wall I had painstakingly built would eventually collapse after a long time together, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to leave at that time.

"Are you in such a hurry to leave? Or are you afraid of something? "She seemed to see through my thoughts, her expression melancholy and sad.

My heart was churning, and I didn't dare to look at her, lest she find out what was wrong in my heart, and that she would discover my weakness hidden under the outward appearance of indifference.

"It's late, I'm going back!" I said with my back to me, and without waiting for her to speak, I stepped out into the field.

But Mu Xichun didn't let me go easily, and she caught up with me from behind as soon as I took a few steps. Holding her tightly, I could even feel her pounding heartbeat and rapid gasps.

She didn't speak, just hugged me tightly and pressed her face against my back. Time seemed to stand still again at this moment, and I could even feel a slight suffocation due to the stagnation of time and space, and I couldn't help but think of what she said when she bought me the starry sky patterned curtains, and she said: It makes me feel eternal......

After about two minutes, she finally let go of me and whispered behind my back, "You go!" The tone was full of loneliness after great sorrow.

I didn't even have the courage to look back at her......

I stood silent for a few seconds, and finally walked out of her villa.

She had been standing still, but I could imagine what a sad expression she was looking at at the moment

Step by step, I left her, and she didn't know that my departure was likely to be forever!!

Goodbye my girl!

Goodbye to the people I love the most!

May my departure bring you out of the gloom!

May you be happy every day without me in the years to come......

Bye!

When I woke up the next day it was noon, and I spent the last long night in insomnia again, until the crackling sound of the breakfast cart pushed by the breakfast vendor downstairs, and I finally felt a little astringent in my eyelids, closed my eyes, and gradually fell unconscious.

When I woke up, it rained again, and the sky, which had been dry and rainless throughout the summer, began to rain several times in the autumn, and this time it was especially heavy.

When I opened the window of the hostel, I felt a chill hit me, and I couldn't help but shiver! Looking at the wind and rain outside the window, I couldn't help but feel melancholy! I don't know if God doesn't want me to go, or if he regrets our doomed sad ending, he actually bids me off in this way!

I simply packed my bags and waited for the rain to stop before I left completely.

However, several hours passed, and the rain showed no sign of stopping.

It was past four o'clock in the afternoon, probably because of the depression that had caused me to lose my senses, and I didn't even feel hungry at all.

It was getting dark, and it was less than two hours before departure, but the rain was still falling endlessly.

It seems that God really doesn't want me to go, but if it is really affectionate, how can it not know my suffering? How is it possible to block my trip with just one rain? I looked out the window at the city silent in the rain and fog, and there was only a sigh!

I borrowed an umbrella from the innkeeper, saying that I would not have the opportunity to pay her back, and she probably understood this, so she was very witty and deducted thirty yuan from my deposit, if she is really a shrewd businessman, what does the suffering of the world have to do with her?

I flagged down a taxi on the side of the road and headed to the train station with an old song playing in the car: Don't ask me where I'm from, my hometown is far away, why wander! Why wandering......

The melodious melody makes me sad! Yes, the prodigal son still has a hometown in the distance, but I have long lived as a rootless duckweed, although I long to stay somewhere, but I can't resist the waves of the cleansing......

The waiting hall is crowded, it seems that it is like this at any time, and there are foreigners with large bags and small bags as far as the eye can see, and they have to abandon their wives and children in order to make a living. But I, on the other hand, even the destination is determined by God.

Will I be able to live the rest of my life like they worked tirelessly for a happy goal? Can I have someone who cares about me in a place called home, no matter where I am? Will there be such a person? Will there be a place to call home......

I sat on the bench in the waiting hall with a deep heart, looking at the unfamiliar faces, looking at the anticipation on their faces for the distance, or the excitement of returning home, I have to admit that I envy them very much!

They, though uneducated, may never know who Nietzsche was for the rest of their lives, and they are forced to live the most modest of lives, presumably even wine, despite their poverty

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I've never been to such a place, but they live a down-to-earth and hopeful life. It's not like me, I can't find a trace of life!

Time passed by minute by second, and the time to get on the bus finally arrived in a commotion, and the ticket gate began to check tickets, and I was wrapped in the crowd and moved forward involuntarily.

Just when I thought I was finally going to leave the city that made me feel sad completely, I didn't expect fate to play a cruel joke on me again.

As I was about to reach the ticket gate, I stumbled up and saw a TV hanging on a pillar in the waiting hall. A local news story is being broadcast live, and the volume of the television is not very loud, and what the reporters are saying in the noisy waiting hall is barely audible.

The female reporter in the picture is wearing a raincoat and saying something with a nervous expression. From the footage, it can be seen that the rain is quite heavy in the place where she is, and there is a fire truck with flashing police lights parked behind her, and the firefighters are busy with their footsteps.

I just glanced at it, thinking to myself that there might be some emergency somewhere.

At this time, I have come to the ticket gate, just as I was about to retract my eyes to show the ticket, a line of words rolled out at the bottom of the TV screen: There is a serious flood situation in Hangshui Town, Linjiang County, our city, and the Hanging Water Town Culture and Art Festival scheduled to be held tonight was forced to cancel, and the guest convoy invited to participate in the festival was trapped on the way, several of the cars have been swept away by the flash flood, and the casualties are unknown for the time being, due to the urgency of the situation, the municipal government has sent a rescue team to the rescue and issued a flood control response. The rainstorm is the highest total rainfall in 12 hours in 100 years......

When I saw this paragraph, my heart tightened for no reason, it seemed that I had seen the words Hanging Water Town somewhere, but I couldn't think of it for a while, and I couldn't help but carefully search for the memory of this word in my mind, and at this time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, and almost at the same time a thunderclap sounded in my head, and I couldn't help but shudder.

The ticket inspector reached out and took my ticket and looked at it and motioned for me to enter, but I still stood still, and just as she was puzzled and wanted to ask me, a trace of uneasiness suddenly rose in my heart, and this uneasiness filled my entire chest in an instant, and my brain went blank for an instant.

I couldn't hear what she was asking, and I couldn't care about my itinerary anymore. I swerved around and pushed my way through the crowd and squeezed back. I couldn't hear the staff's shouting clearly, nor did I care about the dissatisfied scolding of the passengers I pushed, in fact, my brain was already in a state of chaos......

Yes, I remembered where I saw those words, not somewhere else, not for a long time, it was on the coffee table in Mu Xichun's villa last night.

When I put down my glass, I accidentally saw a document with "Research Report on the Tourism Project of Hanging Water Town" printed on the cover, and there was also an invitation to a cultural and art festival next to it!

Could the invitation to the cultural and art festival be the cultural and artistic festival of the Hanging Water Town on TV? Judging by the title of that document, this is almost certainly possible! So did she go to this so-called cultural and art festival?

I shuddered, and I didn't dare to think about it any further......

I managed to squeeze out the crowd, and even the travel bag I was carrying was squeezed out of nowhere, and I didn't care about anything else.
