After breaking up with Hua Zhuang Yu, I drove around the streets. Thinking of what she said "not quite right place", my heart still had some goosebumps.
For an otaku like me, this is indeed a challenging question. Apart from occasional trips, I basically live on the three-point line of home, library and restaurant.
Was it in the year I lost my memory that I went somewhere incredible? And I didn't know.
No.
A clear and powerful thought surged up in my mind - it was that ship.
Proof is my memory, Wu Yu's eyes and Yan Xun's magical ability to control the birds. If that mysterious cosmic power really exists, it can bend the timeline, then it's not surprising that these strange phenomena occur.
Nothing was more out of place than that trip.
In the following days on the ship, where did we go and what did we encounter?
Subconsciously, I thought of hurrying to tell Wu Ou about Zhuang Yu's inference. Then my originally tense heart immediately felt like a punctured balloon and went limp. What was there to tell? He had already left and wouldn't turn back. And what was the point of discussing such grand matters with him anyway?
I drove the car back and forth in a daze, and before I knew it, I had arrived at the gas station again. I parked the car by the side of the road and gazed quietly. When was it that I used to care about this place? Now, even seeing the few tire skins thrown out at the entrance gave me a faintly painful sense of intimacy.
He's already left, more than ten days ago, they said he resigned and is no longer here.
But I really had a broken heart.
I drove the car to the entrance of the store. A strange-faced guy came up and said: "Beauty, what's up?"
"I said: 'Wash the car.'"
He said, "Oh, our store just opened, do you want to get a membership card?" Exactly the same as what he said when I came here for the first time. I smiled and said, "No need, I already have one." But after searching in my wallet and car for a while, that card was nowhere to be found.
The young man was a bit embarrassed: "Miss, our card is anonymous, this card didn't bring..."
I was getting annoyed and said: "Alright, I'll pay for it, wash it."
They started washing the car, I stood on the curb across from the shop entrance, gazing into the distance, the city under the sunset glow was exceptionally gentle and quiet. My heart also calmed down a lot, wearing my rarely worn high heels, walking along the narrow edge of the road, with my hands behind my back, step by step.
"Brother Wei is here." Someone in the store called out faintly.
My ears felt as if they had been pricked by someone. I stopped in my tracks, perhaps it was just a mishearing.
I raised my head.
The wind blew through the entire sky, making a humming sound. Under the blue sky with sunset stretching out its claws, a man stood at the entrance of the store. He was wearing a white tank top and jeans that I was familiar with. There was a cigarette between his fingers. From a distance, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I vaguely recognized that his hair was shorter than before, and there were beads of sweat on his neck.
He is also looking in my direction.
His eyesight is 6.0, at this moment he can even see the pores on my face clearly.
I stumbled and fell from the edge of the road, my posture absolutely stupid and awkward. But in this quiet moment, my heart was like being submerged in a vat of bitter wine, wet, heavy, and astringent, with no exit to be found.
I slowly lifted my head again, but saw that he had already walked out of the store with Xiaohua and another partner, walking towards me. Xiaohua said: "Yu Ge, you're finally back! We must go eat a meal to welcome you!" The other person said: "Yes, Yu Ge, how did your thing go?"
Wu Yu's voice was very low, I didn't hear clearly what he answered.
They walked over from the other side of the road. I don't know if he said anything to Xiaohua and them, they clearly saw me but didn't greet me, just gave me a few glances and followed Wu Yu away.
He didn't look at me when he met me. Is it because he thought I wanted to pester him and so he simply didn't look at me?
He doesn't look at me.
After washing the car, I drove for a while before realizing that I had been driving aimlessly. My mind kept replaying his appearance from earlier, with his head down and his eyes cold, just like the kiss over ten days ago, but it was just my misconception.
I think it's good that he looks calm and doesn't seem bothered at all. Men are indeed more ruthless than women after all.
I also need to calm down. Let's just forget about it then.
I don't want it anymore. I won't want him again in the future either.
