It seemed that she had not expected Lu Chen to keep her. The next moment, a hint of surprise and excitement flashed in her eyes.
But soon this emotion was replaced by a stronger struggle...
She subconsciously clutched her skirt, leaving a faint white mark on her lips.
Lu Shuyu did not ask Lu Chen why he did not want to leave. He just lowered his head in silence for a while, then raised his head and said three words seriously, word by word:
"No."
"..."
Such an answer should be considered both reasonable and unexpected.
Lu Chen expected Lu Shuyu to refuse, but he didn't expect her to refuse so quickly.
It can be seen that Lu Shuyu is not without confusion.
It's just that I had already made up my mind.
After all, reality will not change because of Lu Chen's retention, and what has happened cannot be changed. If Lu Shuyu stays, it will only turn the "short-term pain" into "long-term pain".
Should he continue to maintain the status quo or make plans for the future... In the past few days, Lu Shuyu should have thought about this question repeatedly.
Since she chose to give up, it means that in her opinion this is the only good decision for everyone.
Well, unless Lu Chen could make some promises that were obviously impossible to keep, there was no way to shake her determination.
"it is good."
Lu Chen nodded with mixed feelings and said nothing more.
Lu Shuyu looked at him deeply, then took out the file bag from her bag "once again".
"This is what grandpa left for you."
"I am leaving."
"..."
The words "You said we can only be friends" from three minutes ago did not appear this time, but Lu Shuyu's back as he left was still resolute.
She walked quickly towards Butler Li who was jogging towards her, without looking back, as if she was afraid that she would become soft-hearted if she looked back, or that she felt that she no longer had any relationship with the boy behind her.
After taking the umbrella and saying a few words to Butler Li, Lu Shuyu continued to walk forward, holding the umbrella and gradually disappeared from Lu Chen's sight.
Butler Li came over with another umbrella, and silently handed a long-handled umbrella to Lu Chen who was still sitting on the bench.
"Mr. Lu, we are leaving first. There will be a car to take you back alone."
"......it is good."
alone?
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and nodded, then opened the umbrella.
The rain gradually began to get heavier, and the raindrops hit the umbrella with a crackling sound and also fell on the forest of steles not far away.
The rain flowed slowly along the lines of the tombstone. The light from the street lamps blurred in the rain and fog. Everything in the world seemed to be shrouded in the rain, becoming increasingly blurred and lonely.
When the sound of car engines in the distance was covered by the sound of rain, gradually faded away and disappeared, it seemed as if Lu Chen was the only one left in the entire Yunshan Cemetery.
He sat alone with an umbrella, thinking of nothing, and didn't even look to see what Lu Haichuan had left for him. He just silently looked at the world as far as he could see, and then at some point he suddenly felt a sense of confusion.
Looking down at the document bag and necklace box on his knees, Lu Chen had a real feeling about "fate" for the first time.
It's not only the fate of Lu Haichuan, Lu Shuyu, Qin Wanqing, and Xia Yunian.
And your own destiny...
Perhaps on a rainy night like this, in an occasion that carries so much death and separation, people will always unconsciously think about the meaning and value of life.
It is also possible that people who have just experienced a "broken heart" will fall into a "philosopher" stage of varying lengths.
The specific manifestation is that one loses interest in everything and even resorts to philosophy to explain the current situation one is facing.
Of course, given Lu Chen’s situation, it can’t be considered a “broken heart”.
At most, it's just "losing a good friend."
However, the strong feeling of loss still made him sit alone in the rain for a long time.
Until a slight shout came from my trouser pocket.
"Lu Chen, Lu Chen..."
"..."
It is undoubtedly terrifying to hear someone suddenly calling your name in a deserted cemetery in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, although Lu Chen's brain was in a blank state, he had not lost his memory, so he quickly came to his senses and took out the mobile phone from his pocket which was still on a call.
When the screen lights up, it shows that the call duration is 53 minutes.
Lu Chen felt that he and Lu Shuyu should not have talked for so long, at most half an hour.
So he actually sat here for more than twenty minutes just now.
Good man, why don't I feel anything...
"Hey."
He switched the umbrella to his right hand and put the phone to his ear.
Soon, Xia Yunian's urgent voice came out from the microphone.
"are you OK?"
"pretty good."
Lu Chen said somewhat reluctantly: "I was just thinking about something and didn't hear it."
Xia Yunian's voice became even more nervous: "Have you seen the things that Grandpa Lu left behind?"
"Uh, not yet..."
"..."
Suddenly, there was silence on the other end of the line.
I guess Xiao Xia couldn't understand what Lu Chen was doing for the past twenty minutes if he wasn't watching.
After a moment of silence, she asked in a low voice:
"Then Sister Lu..."
"Leaved early."
"I know. What I want to ask is... have you really decided to let her go abroad?"
"The legs are on her body, so I decided to do nothing."
Lu Chen curled his lips: "Besides, it's not like you didn't hear her. She has obviously made up her mind."
"I see, that's strange..."
Xia Yunian murmured, seeming a little confused.
"But in my dream, Sister Lu is also your girlfriend..."
"This just shows that your dreams are not always accurate."
Lu Chen glanced at the time on his phone.
21:07
"Okay, let's talk about it when I get back."
"Let's look at the things that Lu Haichuan left behind when I get back."
"Okay... do you want me to pick you up?"
"No, hang up."
"Ok."
"Um......"
He lowered his head to hang up the phone, tucked the file bag under his arm, and stood up to leave.
But at this moment, a series of WeChat messages suddenly popped up on the mobile phone screen.
They were all sent by Qingbao.
Qin Wanqing: [Lu Chen, what are you doing? I just called you but the call didn’t go through. It said I was on the phone~]
Qin Wanqing: [Huh? Why haven't you finished the call yet? Tell me the truth, who are you talking to on the phone! ]
Qin Wanqing: [Did you forget to hang up when you were on the phone with someone? ]
Qin Wanqing: [The fight is not over yet... (Little Crocodile feels wronged)]
Qin Wanqing: [Okay! Then you go ahead and do your work! I want to learn how to speak!]
Qin Wanqing: [Remember to call me back after seeing this~]
Qin Wanqing: [(Little crocodile stares at the phone)]
"..."
Wow, why does this scene seem so familiar?
It feels like it's happened once before...
Oh, I remembered it.
It was the day Qingbao was hospitalized.
That day Qingbao first helped himself move, and then went to the hospital by himself.
After being admitted to the ward, she would send me a message every few minutes, but I fell asleep in the Lu family's villa and didn't see any of them.
When I rushed back, I ran into Song Qiao, who mocked me...
Rubbing his nose in shame, Lu Chen sat back on the bench, planning to call Qingbao back first.
After dialing the number, there was only one blind tone and then the call was connected.
It was as if Qingbao had been waiting next to the phone.
