Chapter 87

  Simarui didn't even turn his head, tears like rain, face without color, the wine cup in his hand was shattered into pieces, fresh blood flowed out from between his fingers, his shoulders slightly trembled, but his voice was eerily calm, "Withdraw." Exhausted and desperate.

  Bai Min thought he would collapse, would shout and scream, on TV melodramas the male lead always roars and screams to vent his emotions, but Sima Rui was not like that, he didn't move, just sat there quietly, unmoving, the autumn wind blowing his collar slightly, blood still flowing from his fingers. Bai Min suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, he must be in so much pain, but he didn't move, as if the injured hand wasn't even his own, but something unrelated to him.

  Where is that maple leaf after all? Why doesn't it show up?

  The plan to sleep in was ruined by Duan Zhishan, and Bai Min, who had been thinking of turning off her phone and landline all along, forgot to do so due to carelessness at night or perhaps hallucinations while taking a bath. As a result, the phone rang non-stop early in the morning, leaving her no chance to sleep in.

  To be honest, compared to going out, she would rather sleep in and be lazy. She doesn't know how it happened, but her body aches all over, just like she had run a long distance without rest, and suddenly stopped, only to realize that every part of her body is uncomfortable.

  Duan Zhishan, always so clean and refreshing, standing by the car with a radiant smile on his face, Bai Min felt strange. Such an excellent man, handsome and rich, should be followed by a large group of people chasing after him, why doesn't he have a girlfriend?

  Can't figure it out.

  "What's on your mind? You've got a ghostly expression, it can't be anything good!" Duan Zhishan said happily, not knowing why, but every time he saw this woman, he felt happy with all his heart.

  Bai Wei smiled slightly and said: "I'm guessing, why do you like me? You say you like me, but I don't understand."

  "Is there something wrong?" asked Duanmu Huangqi with a good temper.

  "Yes." Bai Min smiled slightly and got into the car. The morning air was still fresh, so it was okay to breathe. "Look at your conditions, you're good-looking, have a good job, and a good temper... In short, as my friend would say, 'you're absolutely a diamond-level bachelor.' And me, I'm just ordinary like this, yet you think highly of me, making me feel anxious in my heart."

  "Is it that serious?" Duan Zhishan asked with a lost smile.

  "Of course, this makes me worried and lost, but I still think ordinary people are better off. At least they don't have to worry about losing things all the time." Bai Min said with a smile, her mood brightening up a lot in the sunlight. It's still great to be outdoors, at least she doesn't have to worry about suddenly seeing blurry figures and hearing strange calls again. Even if ghosts really exist, they must be afraid of sunlight too.

  A red sedan was parked in front of them, and Duan Zhishan slammed on the brakes. The car screeched to a halt, throwing Bai Min forward. She instinctively stretched out her hands to support herself and barely managed to steady herself.

  Duanshan seemed to recognize the owner of the car, furrowed his brow, opened the door and got out. The window of the red sedan rolled down, revealing a young and beautiful woman inside, fashionable and trendy, exuding an air of temptation. "Zhishan, long time no see?"

  Bai Wei smiled slightly, that's right, with Duan Zhishan's character, if there was no story, it would be too boring, there must be a story, and the more chaotic the story, the better, to live up to such a self-righteous guy.

  Duanshi Mountain turned his head to look at Bai Min in the car, but saw that Bai Min had a pleased expression on her face, sitting there with a relaxed and leisurely air. He was delighted in his heart, this woman is really interesting, according to normal reaction, she should either turn her head and walk away or get angry and scold him, but she just sat quietly, with a smile on her face, looking like she was waiting for the excitement to begin.

  "His mountain!" The woman in the red car was not having it, her delicate voice intentionally showing familiarity, all to let Bai Min know that she was this man's person.

  Duan Zhishan furrowed his brow and said: "Yuè Hào, what's going on?"

  "I was thinking of you." Yuè Wò didn't mind that there were other women around, she didn't even notice Bái Mǐn in the car, just a quiet and unremarkable woman, not even a rival to her. "That's why I came looking for you specifically."

  Duan Zhishan said impatiently: "I have something to do today, let's talk another day."

  "It's because of the woman in the car." Yuet Ngok got out of the car and walked to the window of Pak Man's car, knocking on it. When Pak Man rolled down the window, she looked at him and said, "Who are you?"

  Bai Wei smiled slightly, she didn't want to get involved in this muddy water. She opened the car door and got out, looking at Yuè Lòu. The beautiful woman must have been emotionally detached, why bother competing with such a person? She smiled faintly, looking at Yuè Lòu and said: "This matter is not important, you two chat first, I'll take a slow walk alone. There's a decent breakfast shop up ahead, I'll wait for the two of you there."

  Yuè Hóng was taken aback, and Duàn Zhī Shān was also taken aback. Bái Mǐn Chōng and the others waved their hands and smiled as they walked forward. Emotions are the most unpredictable thoughts. Sincerity is what's most important, it's one's own, no need to rush. If it's not one's own, why force it? This Duàn Zhī Shān really isn't someone she likes. He wanting to pursue her is his business, whether or not she accepts him is her own affair.

  Although it's early morning, the air already has the smell of car exhaust and various breakfast stalls. It's as if I suddenly remembered that there might be a better kind of air somewhere, sweet and refreshing, but I just can't recall where.

  What's going on? What went wrong?

  Under the sunlight, it was a lonely and dull scene. Duan Zhi Shan and Yue Lüo had not arrived yet. Bai Mian sat quietly, gazing out of the window, and suddenly a wave of nostalgia surged up in her heart.

  Close your eyes, and it's as if you're back in that environment. It's still the same man named Sima Rui. Suddenly, it seems like some days have passed, his face is worn out, making people feel heartbroken. His tired expression, unguessable silence, quietly sitting there, looking at a piece of paper on the table with Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head" on it. Seeing this poem, Wang Fei's clear and cold voice immediately echoed in Bai Min's ears, singing to her heart, making her feel melancholy.

  Suddenly bitter smile, only to find tears filled eyes, do not know why, just heartache, heartache for the man staring at a piece of paper, looking but can't reach out and touch, heartache, yet unable to give him warmth. Who is that Maple? Letting him be so heartbroken!

  Suddenly, someone walked into the picture, a gentle man, stroking Sima Rui's shoulder, softly saying: "Fourth brother, why bother, some things can only be acknowledged. Just like me back then, you today."

  Simarui did not speak, his eyes staring blankly at the paper in front of him, the words on it seemed to reveal Murong Feng's appearance, holding a pen, smiling, standing in front of him, warm smile, tender scolding, making him feel wholeheartedly happy, tears accompanied by laughter, falling together.
