STALEMATE

CHAPTER 501 - COME AND GO

The feeling of high-speed was indeed different. I could step on the accelerator to my heart's content. The electronic dog had already done all the detection footage for me. All I needed was to grasp the speed when passing the radar area. The car was speeding along the highway, probably because of the afternoon, and there were few cars on the road. For a moment it felt like I was on the wrong road, perhaps because of my paranoid personality, and every time I got to a service area I stopped the car to check my navigation system to make sure I was on the right track.

In my car, there was a suicide note that I had written before I left this time and placed in an iron box in the trunk. Recently, whenever I closed my eyes, I would dream of a large car speeding towards me.

Probably a little neurotic.

It wasn't that I was afraid of death, I wouldn't have driven if I was afraid of it, but I thought if something happened to me, my family would know where I was going and what I was going to do. Of course, there wasn't even a little bit of information about Witch, because I didn't want him to be implicated because of my possible misfortune.

The music in the car was still playing, but it no longer held any meaning to me. All I could think about were the scenes of me with Witch, his disappointed expression, and his dream that made me tremble in fear.

By the time we reached the city, it was already 6 o'clock on the next day. I had already run for a whole day to rest in the service area. The sunset had already hidden behind the mountains, leaving behind a faint red cloud floating on the horizon.

Perhaps it was because they were far away from the heavy industry, but the city was somewhat quiet. The few cars that could be seen on the street were neither fast nor slow, perhaps it was because it was time for dinner time. There weren't many pedestrians on the road, and the few restaurants and hotels that passed by didn't have many carriages for the guests.

They drove to a small river. On the bridge, there was a simple but spacious bridge. There were two rows of willow trees planted by the river. Long branches randomly fell into the water, and occasionally a few bubbles would pop out from the water.

At the end of the bridge, I stopped what seemed to be an abandoned riverside park. Small ads had been pasted onto the dilapidated walls, and the ads made by China Mobile were not complete. The two tables in front of the gate were still willow trees, but the hanging branches had probably already been pulled away by the naughty children, so these weeping willow trees could not reveal their most graceful side.

Surrounding these dilapidated willow trees, the bosses that were preparing to engage in the barbecue business began to spread out the white beach tables and chairs. Perhaps it was because this small county didn't have many cars parked outside the city, but my license plate had become the focus of attention of the bosses. Occasionally, I could hear the discussion about the city where the vehicles belonged from their mouths.

Even though it was already evening, the air was still rather fresh and clear. I took a deep breath and felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted off my shoulders.

I bought a bottle of water. After trying to calm myself down for a while, I tried to let go of all the illusions that I should or shouldn't have, started the car, and once again drove into this dreamy city. I also left this small mountain city filled with warmth and truth from the countryside that I had just touched.

Outside the car window, lights are already on. There are more cars coming and going on the national highway. I carefully walk through the traffic. My foot on the accelerator doesn't seem to be listening to orders.

By the time I reached the city, it was dark and I had no idea where I was going.

It was already seven o'clock, and the traffic on the street passed by, passing one or the other, as if they did not notice that I was not looking at them at all.

Was it Lin Xi who left me here?

Or had he left himself in this city?

Finally, they arrived at the city.

It was a beautiful, seductive, and romantic city. In this city, one could rid themselves of any feelings, be lazy, be relaxed, be distant without any obstruction of steel and concrete, and be able to use their sense of smell to sense the faint fishy smell of the river and the most primitive fragrance of the flowers and plants.

There was no wind, and the lighted cigarette seemed to emit its due odour only here.

'I've arrived. This beautiful city, the place where you live. Leaning back against the car, I didn't make a phone call. I sent it to Lin Xi in a few short words that I thought I could summarize completely.

Not hungry at all.

Those missing threads had already stuffed their entire body full of energy.

Where should I go?

There were constantly police cars passing by with their lights flashing. It didn't seem possible for them to always be parked on the side of the road, especially when it was a car with a foreign license plate, which might cause unnecessary trouble. Wandering aimlessly through the city.

The square was a good place, and there were many people taking a break. Many merchants had also taken a fancy to this advertising spot, which they thought was pretty good, as they did all kinds of promotional activities. The loud speakers were filled with deafening voices, forcefully covering the gentle music in the square from time to time.

I was looking for the wooden bench, the one we used to sit on. Perhaps it was because I was still not familiar with the square, but I only remembered the general direction. In the paths between the rows of green trees, there were men and women hugging each other intimately, as if there was no one around. Passing between or beside them had no effect on them.

On the north side of the square, under a relatively quiet but not so quiet tree, was a wooden bench.

It was still the same wooden bench, but he had finally found it. A trace of joy and disappointment flitted across my mind at the same time.

Two men and women about my age occupied the wooden bench. Although the lighting was dim, it didn't seem like a couple at all.

This not only reminds me of my own fantasy that I walk with Lin Xi but always do not match the picture.

The sweetness of memory flitted across my mouth, followed by painful depression.

Not too long after, so many changes had occurred, and the originally noble and oppressive Witch seemed to have disappeared into the distance, leaving me with a cold rejection. I know that all of this was caused by me. Witch once gave me a sincerity that I couldn't sincerely entrust and entrusted to me, placing her own future on me. However, my indecisiveness and so-called rationality prevented her from doing so at a distance of a thousand miles.

It was I who broke her heart, desecrated her love, and tainted her body. Intense remorse and regret suddenly welled up in my heart, causing me to stagger a little. He found a nearby staircase and sat down, not looking at the wooden chair from far away.

Scenes of what happened with Witch flashed past my eyes, as clear as if it happened yesterday.

Witch really decided not to see me anymore?

Or did she really not believe that I would change?

Or was she swaying there herself?

I hope the latter and not the last.

My intuition told me that the last person felt the most strongly.

'It's still the same weather. This city full of fallen leaves is still cool. It's still that wooden bench, but there's no one to meet me.' This seemed to be my sigh towards this current situation, or perhaps towards the feelings that quickly passed by. In short, I sent these words to the Witch, hoping for her reply.

The man and woman on the wooden bench opposite me probably felt a little embarrassed because of my insensibility. Before I left, they left behind a look filled with loathing and words for me.

I could read it, but I didn't want to go into the deep digestion of their eyes and expressions. It seemed to me that they should have left a long time ago, and although I had influenced them, the wooden bench belonged to me.

Behind the wooden bench was an unknown tree. Even in this golden season, which definitely belonged to them, there was not a single leaf hanging from the tree. The only thing that hung there was the waning moon when I looked up at the sky. The surface of the wooden bench was already worn smooth by the people who often came here. The lacquer had long since become mottled, and the wood grain faintly reflected the light.

I sat where we had been, and I took out my cell phone to take a picture of the wooden bench, but I couldn't press the shutter no matter what. Seemingly unable to bear it, she felt that if she were to take a picture of this empty chair, it would mean that she would never be able to see Witch again.

Although it was not superstition, nor was it intuition, nor was it taboo to believe, all reasons were not.

The anxious waiting and unknowing mood made it hard for me to stay in a daze. The mineral water in my hand had already been drunk dry. There was only the crackling sound of an empty plastic bottle being squeezed by me, as if it was a contrast to my currently flustered and helpless mood.

It was already ten o'clock. I had unknowingly sat here for nearly three hours.

My mobile phone replaced the empty water bottle as I kept turning it over and over in my hands. Even though Witch's number was already very familiar to me, I still wasn't sure if I should call her or not.

I know that Witch doesn't have the habit of closing her phone at night, maybe she is also considering what I am doing. After all, I sent her a short message. Finally, I couldn't hold it in anymore and pressed the exit button.

The phone rang for a long time before the Witch answered.

Yes. She answered, but there was no sound. She was waiting for me to speak.

Yes. I didn't know what to say, and I didn't say anything either.

Thirty seconds had passed. The phone was still ringing, but no one spoke. It was as if they were all waiting for the other party.

Neither of us hung up, listening and insisting.

He should be dead by now! I broke the silence.

Five seconds later, the silence in Witch turned into a beeping blind sound.

I sat on the wooden bench. It was already very cold, and the people in the square were starting to disperse.

Witch, I feel guilty in my heart. I didn't stay by your side when you need me the most, and let you endure pain and suffering alone, but as a man, it is unforgivable for you to not be able to accompany the woman you love when you need her the most. Perhaps, you will never see me again, perhaps, I will lose you forever. 'Too many possibilities, they were all caused by me. No matter what, I would never think that after these long years, we would end in such a hasty manner in just a few months. My heart aches, I don't dare to ask for your forgiveness, much less ask for more.'

It took a long time for me to compose this long message, and a long time for me to send this message to Witch's phone.

I have a lot of things to say to the Witch, but no matter what kind of words I use to change them, I cannot hide my vulgarity and shamelessness. There is no use in blaming myself, but what else could I do other than blame myself?

'What are you doing there? 'After a long time, Witch only said a short sentence that contained too many profound meanings.

The dying flame rekindled in my heart.

Whether it was acceptance or rejection, they both had their own unique and reserved ways of doing so. They could give you unlimited imagination, and could also give you unlimited guesses. In that instant, I stared at the screen of my phone again and again, unable to believe the Witch's reply no matter what.

His hands and heart were trembling at the same time. He could not even hold the pen properly.

'Then I'll go back. Wait for me right now. It took me a long time to write a few short words and send them out.

After tidying up his belongings, he took a few steps forward and hurriedly ran towards the car.

'I won't see you ', was closely following a message. The flames just now had turned into raging flames, but had been splashed with cold water by the Witch.

I thought you'd come to see me. I'll wait for you. " I do not deny that my words contain an infinite amount of disappointment.

I immediately send it over: Witch, I can't do without you.

After waiting for a long time, she still did not return. She's probably already asleep, I thought, and I didn't want to disturb her any longer. Let her rest early.

After starting the car, I arrived at the hotel where we used to stay. There was no longer any traffic on the street. Occasionally, there were cars with headlights flashing by under the street lights, stirring up some dust and scrap paper.

Instead of going into the hotel, I turned off the ignition and sat quietly in the car, watching the building in silence. I can't live here, I've already told myself, there are too many of our joys and sweetness here, and I want to keep them here instead of letting my single, ugly soul spoil the happiness that may never come back.

I chose another hotel, but it was on the other side. On the highest floor, after washing up, I went to the window and lifted the thin veil. The building that carried so much of our happiness and so much of our love was right in front of my eyes, and with my memory I began to search for the window of that room. The thick curtains obscured everything in that room, and there was not a trace of light. The sweetness of memory lingered in my mind, not because I wanted to savor the process of our love, but because I wanted to let my heart sink deep into that feeling and never come out again.

I drank from the window and watched the night breeze.

By the time I arrived, the lights in the building across the street had already been extinguished, leaving behind a neon sign that shone alone. The streetlights were already dim and few cars passed by, so I turned off all the lights in the room and quietly opened the window. The cold began to seep in slowly, seep into the room, seep into my body.

This was the highest level of the building. The ashes from the cigarette had just fallen into the cold night wind when they disappeared. Suddenly, I remembered the will. Did I come here to commit suicide? He had seen many stories of martyrdom, and he was moved by their experiences. Although some of them were just stories, he had never thought that one day, he would become the main character of these stories.

If I jump, then it is destined to stir up huge waves, and also destined to be remembered by the city. But, it is also destined to harm Witch for life.

I could imagine that if I jumped, there would be quite a few police cars and officers coming to the building later on, blocking all exits, checking everyone's identities, and even closing the hotel.

Sooner or later, the items I left behind and the phone records would point to Lin Xi, who would be questioned by the police countless times. Her future would be shrouded in an unerasable shadow, and her dreams would be haunted by a dirty soul. No one is not afraid of death, and I am no exception. Those who said that they were not afraid of death did not have the torture of walking to the brink of death and not being able to experience the difference between life and death.

Even so, he still had the urge to jump up, but these completely imaginable scenes easily pulled him back.

I shouldn't have thought of you, because I didn't deserve it. However, I was defeated again and again by myself. My heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife. Recalling our past, I could not use words to tell myself that I could not shed tears. Look, I am so hypocritical. You sentenced me to a life I would never forget you. You sentenced me to life imprisonment. Where are you at this time of day? Are we destined to be two parallel lines forever? Tears rolled down his face, and there was no sign of him on the ground. I didn't dare to lower my head, I didn't dare to lower my head.

The me of this night, should have been like this, giving myself a chance to get drunk, could only be like this, this time, want to burn myself, so that in this night, fully shade, forest. However, he was always so hesitant, hesitant, and hazy. Often so, yearning and despair, self-abasement and pride, hesitation and doubt, thinking and thinking, always lack the courage to be calm. However, he couldn't always forgive himself like this. You are not the you who is guarding me. To see the moon on the outskirts of the city, when we climbed the mountain peak late at night, silently holding hands, silently watching the crowd, lights. These, ah, how far away from us ah, like a dream, a good dream, but, do not belong to us.

During the day, the road was also covered with shadows, and I felt lonely. There were so many people on the street that none of them could stop and listen to my thoughts. The sea of people, we are a lonely island, you are on that side. Memories in dreams, no longer yellowing letters, what's gone forever. And just like that, she suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia, discovering that everything in her dreams was so beautiful. Darling, please wake up and let me forget about us, forget about our dreams, the road we walked, and the songs I've heard. The anticipation of dusk and the immersion in the early morning. Thus, they decided to part forever. While they were still able to forget it now, sooner or later, it would be over. The unforgettable love and memories, as well as the sudden call back.

It was eight o'clock in the morning when the sun came in.

His phone had not been switched off for the entire night, so he was hoping that the Witch might have some words for him.

But there was nothing.

He was somewhat disappointed.

After a night of tossing and turning, his hairstyle became like that of a thunderclap. It was washed down in a simple manner, but he discovered that he did not bring any cleaning items. His face was dry, and his hair had become fluffy after washing. In the mirror, my eyes were as red as a gambler who had just lost his bet.

Walking out of the entrance of the hotel lobby, the streets were bustling with activity.

Perhaps it was due to the holidays tomorrow, but it seemed that the people coming and going had purposely increased their walking speed. The nearest supermarket, the doorman told me, was more than a kilometer.

He was not familiar with the road and did not drive. The air here was a lot fresher than in Huping City City, so it could be considered a type of enjoyment.

The actual distance to the supermarket was farther than the doorman had told me. I turned back when I was still a few hundred meters away, because the supermarket hadn't opened yet. There was still a lot of people waiting at the entrance. He wasn't in the mood to wait.

He turned around and walked into a small shop nearby. After searching around, he found nothing but a bottle of gel water. Just use it, because there's really nothing else.

CHAPTER 502 - POSTETHERIC

When he returned to the hotel, he realized that he had forgotten to have breakfast along the way.

He checked out.

The girl at the front desk was trying her best to recommend a VIP membership card. She didn't really understand a lot of the so-called discount prices, but she found it hard to refuse that smile.

He still wanted to go over to the bridge and take a look. After all, it was rare to see such good weather.

'You are very busy today? ' Before starting up the car, I tentatively sent a message to the Witch.

No reply.

He probably didn't hear it, or it was inconvenient.

The peninsula box lay quietly under the windshield.

Just like me now, listless and listless.

The seat he was sitting on was a little painful. He took a few pictures randomly and was basically not in the mood to take the scenery, nor did he have the mood to change the angle and position.

Better drive around and learn more about the city. From the south to the north, then from the north to the south, he specially chose these alleyways to walk. After all, this was a city with a very thick cultural heritage.

When it was lunchtime, the children began to leave school as they passed by the school gate. Only now did he remember that his stomach was rumbling with hunger and he didn't know what to eat. He didn't like to eat in a big hotel, so he didn't intentionally advertise anything here. He just felt that it was strange to be eating alone in a hotel, as if he was at the edge of the world.

He casually entered a small restaurant. It was so small that it could not be any smaller. He suddenly realized that the furnishings here were similar to the ones in the drunken pub last time. There was nothing more similar than the big TV hanging in the corner of the wall. Could this be a deliberate declaration of something to me?

I had always believed in my intuition. If something were to happen, it would always give me some unintentional hints. Although there was no scientific basis for this statement, it would always affect my mood.

He ordered a bottle of beer and drank by himself gloomily.

There were not many customers in the tavern. The owner and chef sat by the side, eating melon seeds and watching the TV. Before the dishes were served, the beer had already run out. Several bottles of beer had already been consumed, but the dishes on the table remained untouched.

Opposite the door was a bar. During my conversation with the boss, this bar had always appeared in my field of vision.

Although he didn't have a good impression about it, he had nothing to do while he was waiting. There weren't many friends online on QQ, only some business connections. I stayed invisible and didn't want to say anything to them. Still nothing to do.

It had been nearly ten hours. He always wanted to call Witch, but he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to make it in time.

My mother called to ask if she was coming back today, probably because she was worried about me. I can only say that I will only be able to return home from the outside world at the earliest. My mother is a little disappointed, but she still told me to be careful when driving.

The owner turned off the television and switched on the song. From the start, it was Xu Ruyun's one man show.

Who directed this scene, in this lonely part. Conversation always talked to itself. The opponents were all memories, so it was hard to tell what the end result was. From beginning to end, it was all you, letting me devote myself too thoroughly. If the story is doomed to tragedy, why bother giving me beauty, performance gathering and parting. On a night without stars, I attract you with my tears, since love you cannot speak, can only smile and cry, let me forget you from now on. On a night when there are no stars, I leave you the past. If everything is just an act, I want you to watch the play, and heartbreak is just me.

Yes.

Yes.

'Where are you? ' Witch's text finally arrived.

Ye Zichen was not in the mood to write down the words, so he simply dialed the number.

Are you done? Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, he didn't even say hello.

She did not speak.

Then. Can I go find you?

Where are you? Witch didn't seem to be in a hurry to reply or agree.

In the city where you grew up.

Oh.

I want to see you.

Why do you have to see me? Although Witch knew the answer to this question, she still wanted to ask, just like how she asked whether or not he loved her.

Because. I miss you! This was the best reason.

We'll talk about it when we get back. After a few seconds, she finally agreed.

I said, Alright, I'll go back now!

I hung up the phone, ran to the car, stopped at the supermarket, and threw a box of red cows in the car.

I should get going, I should return to that familiar city, and see the Witch.

After tuning up the navigation system and filling it with oil, he gathered his energy and found some music he didn't listen to often in the trunk. It was playing under the night sky and in the gentle breeze.

I glanced at the navigator and set off.

On the highway, there were not many cars, because other than the speeding navigation system that indicated accidents, there were no monitoring system notifications. The cars ran very fast, of course, there were also the worries of the Witch, and it could be said that they wanted to return home.

Gradually, the traffic slowed down, and a nearby high-speed traffic policeman signaled me to turn with a flashing baton. Aside from a major car accident, the road ahead was blocked. I stopped the car and looked at the navigator. There was no highway junction to enter.

It turned out to be a newly activated high-speed navigation system. The navigation system hadn't been updated on yet, so it was completely blank. An ominous premonition welled up in his heart. However, I had no choice but to follow the car in front of me. This was a highway that was completely foreign to me and to my navigator.

Under the night sky, I had no reference to orientate me, and the arrow on the navigator was the only way to determine the angle I was heading to while the car was moving. It was a terrible thing, passing several cars in a row, and I couldn't find a car from the same province as myself, so I was completely helpless and had to drive slowly.

It's a pity that the facilities for this new high-speed system aren't complete yet, but I told myself that theoretically, no matter which route I take, I should be able to reach home. At the very most, I should be able to make some money on the road, but fortunately, I was more cautious and when I got onto the highway, I would be filled with oil, so it wouldn't be a problem for me to travel a few hundred more kilometers.

Fear and helplessness made him hungry. There was nothing to eat in the car, just the red cattle and the smoke.

My body began to tremble from the emptiness in my heart, from the fear and helplessness and lack of sleep. When I finally got to a gas station that wasn't working yet, I rummaged through all the storage spaces in the car but couldn't find anything to eat. In the end, he found a few deformed candy canes in the trunk as a life-saving straw.

It was at this moment that a blinding light bathed me in light. As I examined the license plate, I was surprised to find that it was the same car I was looking for in the same city as myself. The heavens are on my side! Almost on the gas pedal, I caught up with the owner.

Similarly, he had never been on this road before, but fortunately, the owner of the car was a frequent traveller, so he was able to roughly determine where he was in this situation. Follow him. Anyway, his destination is the same city as mine, and I don't have a better choice than that.

Just as I was about to rejoice in the fact that my savior had saved me, I found out that this brother of mine had given me more trouble than help. His car was better than mine, so it was faster. Plus, this guy was a veteran of long distance running, so I couldn't catch up with him. Fully focused, I looked at the car and saw that it was at a speed of 180, a speed I had never been able to travel at night.

Although there were very few cars on the road, the noise of the engine and the more or less floating body caused me to not dare to divert my attention. I could only reluctantly follow closely, not paying attention to what was written on the road sign, not daring to pay attention to it either. After about half an hour, several intersecting roads appeared on the navigation system, and the cars in front began to slow down.

Sure enough, the map on the navigation system had been marked in detail to let him know where it was.

Following the front, I got off the highway. After handing in the money, I parked the car to one side, calmed myself down, and re-examined the navigator's instructions.

He thought to himself, If I don't go on the high speed route, I'll have to rely on you. I hope that your great navigation ability won't have any problems!

Before he could finish his promise, Shazhi's phone call arrived. I picked it up in a hurry.

Where is it? Come and drink. Shazhi asked.

On the way! I ran away on a business trip, so I'm busy. I didn't know what to say. After all, I hadn't recovered from the shock.

Where?

I don't know. I glanced at the navigation. That's it for now. Busy. I hung up.

Positioning the destination, the navigation system was normal. Despite the hunger, the fear was still there, and there was nothing to worry about.

When the car in front saw that I had stopped by the roadside, it seemed to understand something. After a slight hesitation, it hurriedly disappeared into the boundless night. It looked as if the car might be taking a detour, I wanted to tell him, but he was already far away and I couldn't catch him, so I had to follow the navigator's instructions in silence.

I remember seeing on TV that the security situation in the area I was in wasn't very optimistic. Plus, this was considered a backwater area, because there were very few decent buildings along the road and no street lamps. The winding road was completely dark. He didn't even dare to open the window. All the lights were on, so he could clearly see the road and the surrounding situation. He didn't want to be caught unprepared if something unexpected happened.

Unknowingly, the car had sped up, but he still focused his attention on every turn. The navigator showed off his skills and pointed out every intersection accurately. As a result, he didn't run in the opposite direction. There was still not a single car on the road, and it was frighteningly quiet.

This path continued for a short while before the carriage entered the Panshan Road. This was the path that he was the least skilled in.

Not only was the winding road narrow, but there were also many steep slopes and sharp turns. The headlights of the car itself were not very bright, and with the occasional appearance of fine sand on the road, the braking distance was greatly extended. He had just made a sharp turn and was still reading the message below the road signs when a row of broken fences appeared in front of him.

An ear-piercing sound rang in his ears as the car came to a halt at the edge of the cliff where the fence had been removed. Although the headlights were unharmed, nothing was illuminated by it.

He broke out in a cold sweat.

Tightening the handbrake, I got out of the car and checked.

Just half a meter away, the car would fall off the cliff.

It was dark down there in the moonless night, and I didn't know how deep the cliff in front of the car was. I only knew that if I didn't brake in time, I would probably die here.

Only then did I notice the long line of guardrail on the side of the road. It was empty, probably as the road sign had indicated, and quite a number of cars had already fallen from it.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, because the consequences were unimaginable.

Carefully backing out of the car, I sat in silence for about ten minutes.

Light a cigarette to calm your pounding heart.

The number of times a person can pass through the gates of hell in this lifetime is not many.

Even I don't dare to stay here for too long. After all, this place isn't peaceful. If one or a group of people were to emerge from somewhere, even if I don't go down the cliff, I will still go down the mountain.

He didn't dare to be fast or slow. The only thing he could do was to be careful. His heart had been beating in his throat for at least an hour and a half before he finally managed to get out of the mountains.

Judging from the navigation system, the places that he had been to before should be relatively easy to run on. Moreover, it was already close to 11 o'clock, and there weren't many cars on the road. He had been drinking too much water, and from the edge of the cliff, he had felt at ease. Perhaps it was because he was afraid of the consequences, but he had completely forgotten about this matter.

Let's find a place where people can go and get off the car.

Yes.

After a long period of shaking, familiar buildings slowly appeared on both sides of the road.

Another sleepless day, driving back like a robot, hands and feet stiff. In fact, from the moment she walked out of the house with her luggage, I felt like a walking corpse. Rotten flesh, no soul.

He made an appointment with her at Huping City City's Sun Plaza. The closer they got to the Huping City, the more spirited they became.

On the north side of the Sun Plaza was the biggest shopping mall in the city. When I parked my car by the road, I saw the Witch pacing up and down on the other side of the road.

A pair of large sunglasses covered her face.

I lit a cigarette and leaned against the car, watching her every step. I didn't tell her where I was, but I'm sure she saw me.

I didn't know what to say in the end. Although I really wanted to explain it to her, in the face of Witch's so-called fearlessness and numbness, I didn't know how to open my mouth.

You. Do you hate me?"

No! Why should I hate you?

Silence. Silence again.

Silence fell upon the lanterns.

Very far away, the sounds of children laughing and playing could be clearly heard.

Didn't you always want to be free? Now you have it. It was the Witch who broke this silence.

This could be considered as a relatively interesting question. After all, this was not a topic that Witch had deliberately squeezed out in order to break the silence.

Without you, what do I need? I shifted my gaze from the window to Witch's face.

Do you think you have the face to say that to me? Witch seemed to be focused on admiring the scenery outside the window, he put his hands under his chin and leaned on the window.

Then are we really going to … see you later? Forever? I tried my best to show my expression in the afterglow of the Witch, so I leaned forward.

To the coffee shop. No, she said.

Sure, lead the way!

We'll go to the back of the corner to the lovers' seats.

I was disappointed. Not only was I disappointed, she was also disappointed.

There were already people inside. And the waiters told us that they had just arrived and that they wouldn't leave immediately.

There was no helping it, they could only change their positions.

Perhaps it was still too early, the second floor was indeed quiet, only the faint sounds of music could be heard.

The structure of the second floor was similar to that of the floor below, and we still chose that position. From the layout of the corridor, we could tell that it was the innermost corner.

She still wants the Blue Mountain she likes, and I think she's reliving that feeling too.

Only she never sat on the stool next to me again.

I silently smoked my cigarette. I didn't know what to say, what I wanted to say couldn't be said, or couldn't be said, didn't want to say, and certainly didn't want to say. The words he had originally wanted to use against the Witch s had completely disappeared at this moment.

Smoke less! Under the lamp, the dim yellow light shone on Lin Xi's concerned eyes.

Yes! I stubbed out the half-burnt cigarette.

He didn't know if he should be grateful or something, but he felt that he had become so insignificant at this moment, so insignificant that he had not paid attention to the feelings and condition of the people he loved, and he somewhat blamed himself.

We're divorced. Is your family happy? I looked into her eyes.

Are you happy? she asked.

Shall we go to a movie? I chose the wrong topic and didn't want to continue it. The movie posters in the coffee shop caught my eye.

Whatever.

'Painted Skin' has just been released. It should be pretty good. After pointing at the direction of my finger, the Witch started to carefully study the movie poster on the corner of the wall.

When he came out of the coffee shop on the island, it was already full of stars. It was late autumn and cold, and the square across from them was empty. The food stalls on both sides of the road were still as red as before. We drove around the traffic in front of the snack stand and onto Riverside Drive.

In the distance, the lights of the Yi River completely outlined the bridge, and the reflection of the water also took part in the construction of the beautiful night scenery. I quietly lifted Lin Xi's window, afraid that the cold wind from the river would hurt her.

Wanda Shadow City. The largest cinema in the city. The security guard at the door was busy arranging a steady stream of cars going in and out, and I found a parking space in the corner. They walked through the bar and the night room and entered the cinema through the elevator. Most of the people in front of the bar looked like couples.

They were all here to watch The Painted Skin. The last scene, 10: 00 sharp, with 15 minutes left, was the final break. The waiter indicated that we should enter the field and wait.

Would you like something to drink? Is the movie going to take more than an hour, or is there something to eat? In front of the screening room, I stopped in front of the small supermarket.

I don't want to eat or drink it!

When she couldn't, I grabbed two bottles of water off the shelf. We were seated next to the aisle in the fourth row. Quite a few people were already seated, and the seats next to ours were also occupied by a couple. The man, however, looked rather wretched.

Witch, you stay outside. I hesitated, then made a decision.

Witch didn't say anything. He glanced at the man and roughly understood what I meant.

Witch doesn't seem to feel much towards this type of thing, nor is there any excitement, nor is there any sense of loss. I could barely remember the plot of the movie because I hadn't been to see it at all, and during the whole hour and a half, my thoughts had almost passed through half my life.

From the moment I met the Witch, the cold and beautiful woman that I had imagined, from the domineering aura we had when we first met to the moment we successfully cultivated, to the time we faced my rational and somewhat terrifying delays, the Witch beside me had been silently watching the big screen in front of me. It was as if her mind were so absorbed and preoccupied with the plot of the movie that she had no time to respond to my wandering thoughts with her eyes and the motions of her limbs.

This is the woman who has appeared in my mind the most. The only woman I can't let go of in this life is her. It was a sin, a sin of usurpation and selfishness.

Witch let go of her cold self-esteem, because it was she who had completely given up her own identity and handed her over to me. Wearing the light water droplets in her hair, as well as her relieved and happy expression, she calmly said to me in joy, I want to be with you.

It was a scene I had seen in my head countless times before, a beautiful scene where we had finally abandoned everything and merged together.

It was hard to tell whether I was moved by the scene or by the vision of happiness that was about to come, but my tears fell in an instant.

Turning around, Witch was still staring intently at the screen, not noticing at all that the tears on my face were sparkling, her hand was less than five centimeters away from my hand. I wanted to grab hold of her tightly and tell her that it was mine, it would be mine forever.

But I don't, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare. What I'm afraid of is that the current me, in the Witch's heart, has already been branded with the brand of disappointment, and I can't get rid of it no matter what.

I wiped away my tears by the way I brushed my hair.

Lin Xi, are you cold? At this moment, I don't know if Witch can feel the true emotions that came after my agitation.

No. Her answer was soft, but I didn't feel her response.

Then are you hungry?

No. Cold.

CHAPTER 503 - VARIOUS

After a few seconds, I shifted my gaze away from her face. I was speechless and sighed in my heart.

When he came out of the cinema, it was already midnight. The crowded parking lot had become empty. At the corner of the wall, my car was parked all alone.

Lin Xi, let me take you home. Closing the driver's door, I dared not meet Lin Xi's eyes.

Didn't you have something to say to me? she asked.

I said, Yes.

I was wondering if I should ask the question I had always wanted. But she said first, You don't have to say it, let me say it. We have nothing to do with it. I can do it. We don't need to meet again in the future.

When she said maybe, I honked my horn and said, What's going on? The car in front is so slow! He pretended that he couldn't hear what she said, I'll take you back first. Let's avoid this topic. The car is already on the road and I don't know where to go.

She thought I heard what she said, but I pretended not to.

We're here, go up. Arriving at the front of Lin Batian's villa, I turned off the engine and heaved a long sigh of relief, calming my beating heart.

Indeed, after nearly half my life of transmigration, this city that I once loved was now breaking my heart, and I was afraid to be in its arms for a moment. Perhaps this was a way of escaping, a way to blame oneself for not being able to support the Witch with the blue sky.

Go on up, I'll watch you go. I fought back tears.

It's impossible for us! she cried.

I was speechless and silent.

Did you hear that? I came out to say that to you. I've endured for hours from the square to the coffee shop and then back to the movie city! she cried again.

I remained silent, turning my head so that she would not see the tears in the corners of my eyes in the darkness.

I don't want to! I whipped my head around and grabbed her cold hand.

Impossible! Witch shook off my hand and turned his back in anger.

I can't do without you. Am I upset? I could not hold it in any longer, so I took the opportunity to stroke my hair again and touched the corners of my eyes. I wanted to hold you back at the cinema, but I didn't dare. I was afraid it would be the last time. "

Goodbye, it's best if we never see each other again. Yin Rann, I hate you! She ran down. Then the sound of her footsteps receding into the distance.

She entered the door, and a tall gate separated us. The gap between the iron pipes seemed as big as our expectations, but no matter what we couldn't get through, and the height of this gate was like all sorts of things we couldn't pass. It was so tall that it beautifully blocked us out.

Witch's resolute back facing my stubbornness seemed to have completely given up. Her figure's helplessness and complaints came together, interrupting the association the door gave me. I lit a cigarette, but it couldn't hide the infinite loss and melancholy in my heart.

I crossed my arms in front of my chest and raised my head to look up. I helplessly sent my beloved woman away just like that. A long breath flowed out from my chest along with my sigh into the starry night sky.

I wanted to cry, but there were no tears.

Why the hell did I meet with her? What was I going to tell her? Was it to give her the chance to tell me that it was impossible in this lifetime?

At the end of the day, there is only one reason and one thought, for the Witch that I love.

For this woman I can love all my life.

Do I regret it?

Regret, regret my incompetence, my betrayal, my shamelessness, my inferiority.

But who could I complain to?

Perhaps this was what the Heavens had arranged for them. In this world, how much joy and sorrow was controlled by the Heavens, causing one to be unable to beg for life, unable to beg for death.

I hope that this quiet and clear night sky can no longer obstruct the eyes of the heavens, and can let Yue Lao, who is called Yue Lao, see through my true love, and let our not-so-great true love have a true home.

Yes.

I raised my head, hoping to see the lights in Witch's room light up. This was her home, and it had a warmth that did not belong to me. The building in the darkness, because of the existence of Witch, also gave me the power to be mercilessly surrounded but at the same time, be completely warm.

I straightened my clothes and leaned against the car, the butt of my cigarette gleaming in the darkness. Despite my reluctance, I dared not look at the building again. I would rather not take the last look into my heart.

The pain in his heart was akin to being torn apart.

At one in the morning, there were very few cars on the road. This beautiful city, you left me so much joy, so many fantasies, so much grief, and endless remorse.

The light from the cigarette butt drew a beautiful curve in my hand and fell far away, disappearing like a red meteor.

I opened the car door and got in, my heart filled with melancholy and grief.

Yes.

Inside Witch's house, it was very luxurious. Lin Batian sat on the green leather sofa with a serious yet hostile expression. Even though I was somewhat helpless in the face of such a scene, to the point where I didn't know how I should stand, I still didn't let go of my faith in being with the Witch.

Everyone in her family had the same expression on their faces. They stared at me with even more anger in their eyes.

I don't know what to say, I don't even know if I want to say it first. Lin Batian's eyes and expression made me uncontrollably scared. Even though I did my best to restrain myself, my legs still trembled uncontrollably.

I thought maybe I should kneel.

I didn't dare look up at anyone. There were many times when he had imagined how he would face such a scene with calmness, and even how he would respond with words and expressions. However, when he truly faced such a reality, he knew that calmness had caused his mind to go blank.

It was like sitting in front of the TV at home and watching how nervous the people on the stage were. He imagined how he would be able to calm down and move freely, but when he was on the stage, he realized that he was not much better than the person on the TV.

Silence.

Terrifying silence.

He didn't dare to say anything.

Lin Batian still used this kind of unfathomable calmness and silence to mistreat me at a loss of what to do.

His mouth was dry, very dry. This was something that only appeared after a certain degree of nervousness. There were only a few times in his life where such nervousness would appear. This was probably the most serious event.

The room was so quiet that even his own heartbeat could be heard. The beating that should have been regular and regular became chaotic and irregular. His sweat made him feel like tens of thousands of ants were moving back and forth on his back. It was itchy to the point where he didn't dare to feel relieved. He could only let those ants bite and tear at his back without restraint.

I wanted to call uncle to break the silence, but just as I was about to say something, I remembered that he wanted me to call him Chairman Lin. Who would care about this at a time like this? It's just a title, and its function is nothing more than my respect for my elders. And most of all, I'm here to admit my mistakes and accept my punishment.

But what else could he do?

Is there a better way?

It was almost dawn, and I was sweating profusely as I woke up from such a real and heart-shaking dream. I grabbed the cigarette case. Maybe I should ask her family. But her family might agree? That's impossible.

11 AM sharp.

In front of a restaurant.

There weren't many people eating lunch at this time of the day, so the car stopped in front of the restaurant's entrance. The conductor didn't say anything as they walked directly into the restaurant.

Although his reputation was not big, the depth of the store was quite shocking.

This was a restaurant that needed to buy a card to recharge the price. There were a few specialties in the food. Of course, the money that couldn't be spent could be refunded. In the morning, Hee Ke called me and asked me to go climb the mountain. She knew that I was in a bad mood and thought that it was because Witch didn't have the time to bother with me, but how would she know that I had already arranged a divorce?

Hee Ke chattered non-stop along the way. As for what she said, I couldn't remember it at all. Most of it was just insignificant scenery.

Zihan and I often come here to eat. Hee Ke didn't even seem to look at me, but she seemed to intentionally tell me.

I didn't respond to that. There was a kind of semi-self-help smell here. He needed to order all the dishes himself.

In theory, there is no need to ask whether or not someone has a taboo or preference towards such an occasion. However, out of politeness or concern, I can only describe the current state of mind.

Hee Ke, what do you want to eat? I can help you get it?

I'll take it myself. You take yours. Hee Ke didn't even look up at me, just a simple sentence, perfunctory and polite.

I stared at Hee Ke in a daze.

Her curly long hair followed Xu Fei'er's slightly leaned forward body, casually and appropriately covering half of her face as Hee Ke focused on lowering her head to get her meal. Even though her hair hadn't been professionally groomed for a long time, one could still tell that it had once been meticulously cut and polished.

The bracelet on her slender arm was a gift that I casually gave her, contrasting with her slender fingers. Even though she didn't have much research on items like the bracelet and even felt that it was a bit random, Hee Ke was able to perfectly display the unique charm of the bracelet, causing her to stare blankly at it for a long time.

In the end, Hee Ke chose a table near the door. I only hesitated for a moment. It was already time for lunch and the number of people entering and exiting the restaurant had started to increase. From time to time, I would use the corner of my eyes to observe the flow of people entering and exiting the restaurant, fearing that the person I would see would suddenly appear. Because this restaurant, Witch and I have been here.

However, I can't let Hee Ke see my uneasiness. Why should I be so worried? Hee Ke and I have nothing, but why am I so scared? All I had to do was turn my head back and forth on the restaurant wall to hide my little movements. Undoubtedly, I am afraid of the Witch, scared of Shazhi. What I need is a woman that will follow the birds and follow the humans, a girl that I worship in all things. I want to be a man and take good care of a little woman, but, the Witch and Shazhi. I was strong enough to stand next to them and lose face.

There's a very famous noodle here. I've asked for one for you! Hee Ke pulled my eyes and attention away from the catering culture and onto her face. A big bowl!

Oh, his bowl won't be big, will it? There's too much for me to eat!

You have to walk a lot in the afternoon, is it okay if you aren't full? She's considered it more carefully and thoughtfully. I also want a freezer made by them, it's pretty delicious! "

You also want fruit salad? Only then did I look down at the table.

That's right, I like this one. Although this type of salad is also sold in the supermarket, no matter what I do, I still can't compare to the delicious salad they make.

It's the signature dish! The other party would definitely have a recipe and can even make it. Why would the other party even need to open a shop?

That's true. Hee Ke took a toothpick and put a banana in her mouth.

The noodles are coming. Although it isn't a big bowl, just looking at it makes one feel dizzy and the other half can't rest easy, I can't eat it.

Although he wasn't as suspicious as Cao Cao Cao, he was definitely not a careless person. He had no impression of what kind of noodles she was going to eat and only hoped that Hee Ke would leave this place as soon as possible. But he put down his chopsticks and said that it would be rude not to eat it.

Well, shall we go? Hee Ke put down her chopsticks in a relaxed manner.

Why don't I accompany you back to change your shoes? It's hard to walk on the road, isn't it? "

Uh. There's no need, right? No need to change, this shoe will do too! Hee Ke's soliloquy seemed to explain to me some kind of concern or strangeness.

Alright, then let's go! I don't want to insist. It's a long way, should we start earlier? "

Alright!

When he left the noodle store, there were many people on the streets. Maybe it was because it was the weekend, but he always felt that everything he saw was lazy.

Hee Ke didn't know where to go after all, and of course I didn't have to rely on her fingers.

Hee Ke didn't even know the name of the place we were heading to. She only knew that it was a canyon, but there was no record of it on the navigation system. There was no network here, and the usual queries were useless. This was not a tourist area, so he could buy a map or anything.

While he was
