Chapter 14: A Man's Way Home

That night, Liu Mei cried for a long time, and Xu Mo didn't speak.

Seeing that he had been silent, Liu Mei's heart kept sinking, so heavy that she couldn't pick it up, she knew that maybe there would be no future between them this time.

The gifts piled up on the ground, Liu Mei didn't tidy them up, she climbed into bed in silence, didn't take off her clothes and got into the quilt, and slept.

She listened to Xu Mo sorting out those things, and heard Xu Mo walk out of the room and stay in the bathroom for a long, long time before coming back, with a strong smell of tobacco on his body, he has always rarely smoked, this time he should have smoked a lot.

Xu Mo got on the bed, lay beside Liu Mei, and looked at her back.

Her long hair is spread on the pillow as before, but today it looks more messy, she no longer looks up at him like she used to, she smiles and wants to make a mask for him, and she no longer says "go to sleep quickly, otherwise you will become panda eyes" as gently as before, and will never quietly hold his hand in the quilt after turning off the light, and then rest assured that she tilts her head to his side and falls asleep after holding it with her fingers crossed.

When we were teenagers, we rode bicycles together, visited campuses together, ate at small shops together, dined together in a daze, set off fireworks together, walked together on college campuses, told jokes, and met people.

will be gone forever.

In more than ten years, this has grown from a proud girl in cardamom years to a gentle and considerate young woman in front of him, and he has run through her entire youth.

Today she cried uncontrollably in front of him for the first time, and perhaps for the last.

Xu Mo's heart was surging with guilt and reluctance, he cherished this girl, if he became famous in the future, she was willing to return to him, he was willing to give her everything he could.

He tried to put his arm around her back, but she didn't break free or move, and spent the night in a daze.

Early the next morning, Liu Mei carried her backpack and didn't bring anything, and got up and left. Xu Mo woke up, but he didn't speak or move, he didn't know what to say.

It is about 900 kilometers from Sucheng to her hometown, and it takes more than ten hours to drive, Liu Mei sat from seven o'clock in the morning to seven o'clock in the evening, and she was groggy all the way, not eating, drinking, or moving, and fell asleep in her seat, her mind was blank, as if everything was fake, but from time to time tears flowed down and slipped into her ears.

Next to her was a girl dressed in a bewitching dress, with exaggerated long earrings, wearing bright lipstick, occasionally glaring at the willow eyebrows with her spare eyes, but she consciously lowered her voice when talking on the phone, look, people can't look good, strangers won't hurt you.

Willow eyebrows squinted, all the way to the north, the scenery outside the window gradually became barren, and when night came, more and more poplars began to be seen on both sides of the road, a familiar feeling squeezed into his chest.

This is the hometown where she was born and grew up, and how many memories and footprints she left behind, but now, the other country is more familiar. Memories are overwhelmingly overwhelmed here, and my heart is already numb with pain.

Moreover, a few friends have gone to a foreign land, only this one who has not yet married her has returned single, and there seems to be no one to talk to, not to mention, how can this kind of thing be told to outsiders?

When the time on the mobile phone pointed to 21:15, the bus slowly entered the bus station in my hometown, fortunately, the bus station is only about a kilometer away from home, and it can be regarded as home.

Family?

Liu Mei's heart was sour, and she didn't know how to tell her parents about this? A long time ago, she couldn't help but tell her parents about the arrangements for this Spring Festival, she thought that everything would go according to plan step by step, she and Xu Mo would be the same as in those fairy tales, get the blessings of both parents, and show their love in front of relatives and friends, and then be praised as a golden boy and girl, made in heaven.

Hehe, I didn't expect that the bubble of fairy tales would burst so quickly.
