Over the mountain is the sea

Chapter 48 Driftwood ([-])

Throughout the evening, Liang Zhongming sat mechanically in that chair.

Feng Yi's words are not unreasonable, if he continues to communicate with Yi Nan, sooner or later he will be noticed, even though there is nothing between them.

But, who would believe it?
Isn't even Feng Yi planning to make use of this ambiguity to make a fuss?
Liang Zhongming lit up another cigarette in his chaotic thoughts and smoked depressedly. In the lingering smoke, Yi Nan's frowns and smiles stood out vainly. How did she enter his life?

Like a drop of water recklessly falling onto a piece of ice, he tried his best to dissolve a small puddle of water, and he felt some moisture and warmth that he had not seen for a long time, although the heat was far from enough for him.

When making the verdict, he still felt a bit of reluctance. He was used to having her by his side, even though he had no idea about her role.It's not that he can't figure it out, it's that he refuses to think about many things, and if he thinks too much, it's easy to get out of control, draw a thrilling curve, and bother each other.

He resolutely snuffed out the unburned cigarette butt, and let out a long breath, not without regrets - it will be difficult to feel the warmth she conveyed to him with her smile in the future.

However, his rationality has been strongly recovered, and he found a reason for himself to persist. No matter what his future is, Yi Nan should not be involved, and any accidents to her are not what he wants to see.

He called Yi Nan, intending to make a quick decision. Even if she misunderstood or resented him, it was better than being so unnecessarily obsessed with him now.

While waiting, for the first time, he felt his throat dry and hoarse, and his mood was as gloomy as the rapidly darkening sky.

"I just guessed that you would call me." Yi Nan's voice was as bright as he remembered.

"Really?" He agreed with difficulty.

"You don't want to apologize to me for what happened yesterday, do you?" Yi Nan wanted to make a joke, but as soon as the words came out, he suddenly felt ambiguous, and immediately blushed, but luckily he couldn't see it.

Last night's gaffe flashed into his mind, and he felt a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "I really should apologize."

Yi Nan cleared his throat, pretending to be relaxed, and said, "Apologies are unnecessary, why don't you treat me to another meal, I didn't even eat enough yesterday."

"Yi Nan, we..." Liang Zhongming pondered with difficulty, but he couldn't say the phrase "this is the end". He suddenly changed his mind, "Okay, where do you want to eat?"

Let's talk face to face, he thought, at least there can be a buffer, not as abrupt as on the phone.Besides—he did want to see her one last time, too.

Yi Nan didn't notice his strangeness, and said happily: "It's cold, how about we go to the food stall, there is hot pot, it's very warm."

Food stalls?Liang Zhongming was stunned, what a distant vocabulary, evoked a gentle memory in his heart, "Okay!" He agreed without much hesitation.

After an appointment time, he changed his clothes and went out, driving alone.

He thought he would get lost, but he didn't, the road in his memory was as familiar as it was engraved in his mind.

After parking the car at the corner of the street, he looked around, looking for Yi Nan.

Across the street, she smiled and waved at him, shouting loudly, "You're going in the wrong direction!"

He shrugged at her nonchalantly and smiled.

They were the same as before, gathered among the noisy diners, chatting endlessly, irrelevant. He and she seemed to be the most ordinary pair of friends in the world, but each other's hearts were quiet, and there was tenderness in their hearts. After passing by, he unconsciously felt nostalgic.

After eating and drinking, they came out for a walk on the deserted street.

Liang Zhongming was always looking for a suitable opportunity to speak, but every time the words came to his lips, he caught a glimpse of Yi Nan's smiling face and swallowed them back, and he began to look uncertain and absent-minded.

A topic came to an end, and both of them suddenly fell silent.

The road under his feet seemed to be very long without end, and the nostalgia in Liang Zhongming's heart became more and more intense. He shuddered suddenly and had to remind himself that it was time to end.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard Yinan whisper first: "Feng Yi told me everything."

He froze for a moment, not knowing what she was referring to.

Yi Nan raised her head and glanced quietly at his gloomy face, "Death cannot be brought back to life, and you too...don't be too sad."

Liang Zhongming understood immediately, and didn't know how to respond for a while.

Yi Nan, however, had already continued on his own, "When I was young, I always asked my grandpa where did my father go, and my grandpa lied to me that he went to a good place. Only later did I know that my father was gone long ago. I got a serious illness, and felt pain every day when I was alive, so I thought, Grandpa didn’t lie to me, he left, and he was relieved.”

Liang Zhongming was silent, her consolation had no practical effect on him, but he was still infected, something was churning in his heart, and it became more and more chaotic.

In the silence, Yinan tentatively grabbed his hand lightly, and then held it firmly. Her palm was hot, and waves of warmth flowed down his wrist to his heart.Liang Zhongming's heart suddenly turned over a wave, and the hot and humid tide overflowed the embankment and splashed everywhere.

His world is always piled up by reason and logic. He is used to doing all kinds of judgment questions, what should be done and what should not be done.Is it because of this that he is immune to her enthusiasm? !

Sometimes, he would feel that Yi Nan looked so clumsy in front of him, her youthful confession, and the undisguised eagerness in her eyes when she looked at him, would make him shudder—those things that should have been hidden from him Why did things come to her and be expressed so boldly and directly? !
However, what settled down?

Apart from the joy and warmth of being missed, he never felt a little bit of envy.

Yes, he envied her publicity and frankness, she can do whatever she wants, unlike himself, any instinctive reaction to something always hides the real emotion first, and then acts what he thinks is suitable under the guidance of reason. logical choice.

He suddenly panicked, as if he had lost his way, he couldn't let this situation go on!
He withdrew his hand like an electric shock, not allowing himself to hesitate, and said directly: "Yi Nan, we can't go on like this..."

Yi Nan was still racking his brains on how to comfort him, when he suddenly heard his hoarse and ambiguous voice, he raised his face and looked at him suspiciously, his expression was not sad, but flickering.

The muffled roar of a motorcycle came from behind, like a wild beast ready to go, ready to move.

His eyes were still fixed on her face, but it was his own face that was distorted, as if what he was doing was not clarifying a fact that was gradually becoming chaotic, but destroying a beloved thing with his own hands.

"What's wrong with you?" Yi Nan seldom saw such a painful look on his face, and he was at a loss for a moment.

The sound of the motorcycle was getting closer, forcing her to turn her face to look——

A dazzling glare caused her to close her eyes suddenly, and when she opened them again, the roar in her ears became even louder.

My heart sank suddenly, and I had a bad feeling, because the car was like a sword cut by a warrior in a three-dimensional movie, and it was about to come in front of me in an instant!

Between flashes and flints, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't make a sound. Her eyes flicked to Liang Zhongming in panic. He was still struggling in his own thoughts, with a painful and tangled expression...

Everything happened so fast that she didn't even have time to shout out the warning that rushed to her lips, the car was already roaring towards Liang Zhongming impartially...

Yi Nan's heart was emptied in an instant, and a cold feeling rushed up from the soles of his feet!Without even thinking about it, she raised her elbow and pushed Liang Zhongming away!
The astonished Liang Zhongming staggered back and forth before he understood the situation, and finally staggered and fell to the ground in embarrassment!But he had no time to take care of himself at all, the surprise in his eyes was quickly replaced by terror, he got up anxiously and laboriously, and rushed towards Yinan like crazy!

Almost at the same time as he fell, the handlebar of the motorcycle picked up Yi Nan who hadn't gotten out of the way in time. Under the huge impact, she fell in a circle like a twitching top, and finally landed top-heavy. Planted towards the edge of the green belt...

The scattered pedestrians finally came to their senses after being stunned at first, and there was an uproar on the road. Amidst the chaos, the motorbike owner took advantage of the situation to flee and quickly disappeared at the corner of the street.

Yi Nan heard Liang Zhongming yelling her name just before she woke up, and she felt a little lucky, because he was safe and sound, but before the relaxed mood dissipated, the sharp stabbing pain at the back of her head captured her whole body, "Damn it!" she muttered inwardly.It was just this sentence, and then my eyes began to turn black, my mind was like a raging flame that was split, and the world was turned upside down and chaotic.After the hustle and bustle, there is only a vast expanse of whiteness left...
