Tang Wei calmed down and slowly opened his eyes. In the rearview mirror, the girl was as stubborn as ever. Her sports performance was terrible before, but now she seemed to have the energy to run a marathon. She kept chasing after the car and refused to give up.
There were more and more cars on the street. Her slender body almost brushed against the car several times, which made Tang Wei's eyebrows jump. The sun at noon was very scorching. Her originally fair face was sunburned red in a short time, and there were layers of hot sweat on her forehead. Just when a car almost hit her, Tang Wei was startled, "Stop!"
The driver was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stepped on the brakes. The girl saw the car stopped, and she stopped chasing. She was already running with her hair disheveled, and looked particularly embarrassed. When the man opened the car door and walked out, she was stunned in the same place. She, who never shed tears, was blinded by the hazy mist in an instant.
A huge sour feeling surged over her, tearing at her heart. She felt as if she was dreaming, staring at the hateful man in front of her who had left her without a word. Once, he left for several years without a single message. Whenever she woke up in the middle of the night, she always felt that the days with him were just a dream, the most beautiful dream.
Tang Wei walked closer to her step by step. The golden sunlight created a dazzling halo around this charming man, which seemed like a dream in the girl's eyes. Everything was so unreal.
She held her breath as he approached.
Then, she could only watch in a daze as the other person took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Wipe the sweat off your forehead."
As gentlemanly as always, as elegant as always, even, as calm as always...
It seemed that everything in front of him, whether it was her tears or her persistent pursuit, could not stir up the slightest ripple in his heart.
But, to her, this voice...
This hand...
It's like they are engraved in my memory and have never faded.
To this day, she can still clearly remember the wound on his wrist, the nine white crescents on his fingernails, and even the lines on his palms that had fascinated her like crazy.
The feeling of being infatuated with someone is probably like being under a spell. She had shamelessly told him over and over again that the lines on his palms were more beautiful than those on any other man. In her world, her Tang Wei was perfect and incomparable to anyone else.
"Wipe it." Tang Wei spoke again.
She came back to her senses and took the handkerchief in a daze. He asked her to use it to wipe her sweat, but she covered her eyes with it. The tears that kept flowing out soaked the handkerchief in an instant. The fragrance lingered around her nose, like a wire that kept strangling her heart.
After such a long time, she was so stupid that she could still remember his scent so clearly.
She just stood there and cried for a long time, as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances. Even Chen Cheng came over in surprise. However, looking at the situation here, she didn't know whether she should get closer. It was the first time she saw her cousin cry so hard.
Tang Wei stood there, speechless, without a single word. It seemed that such tears did not shake him at all.
The driver came over holding a parasol and said worriedly, "Fourth Master, the sun is too hot. If you stay in the sun any longer, you might get a heat stroke."
Tang Wei said 'hmm', but his eyes were cast towards Chen Cheng who was at a loss as to what to do, and he handed the umbrella to her, "Ms. Chen, Shang Shang is now in your care. Please take her back."
Chen Cheng could only nod mechanically.
Tang Wei glanced at Shang Shiyu, then turned to the driver and said, "Let's go."
Shang Shiyu suddenly stopped crying and grabbed his hand. Tang Wei struggled for a moment, but she stubbornly held it tighter. She was so excited that her whole body was shaking. He sighed helplessly, "Shang Shang, let go."
"You still owe me an explanation." Shang Shiyu looked at Tang Wei bitterly, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice: "You still owe me a word that will make me give up completely."
To her, his calmness was the greatest indifference and sadness.
Tang Wei's hands tensed.
It was so tight that veins popped out on the back of his hand. He looked at Shang Shiyu with heavy eyes. She could only look at him infatuatedly, trying her best to search for some emotion in his eyes, but the next moment, he pulled his hand out of her palm. The empty feeling in her palm made Shang Shiyu feel empty. She instinctively wanted to grab his hand, but Tang Wei dodged first, leaving her hand hanging in the air.
Just like in the past few years, she always wanted to catch him in her dreams, but she never caught him...
Not even once.
The girl's slender fingers trembled slightly.
After a while, slowly, slowly retract it.
"I'm sorry, I already have a girlfriend." Tang Wei said this calmly, with a faint smile on his face. That smile was as beautiful as ever, but at this moment, it was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, making Shang Shiyu suffocate and almost unable to breathe. The more beautiful things are, the more ruthless they are when they pierce people's hearts.
Tang Wei has already mastered this trick to perfection.
Shang Shiyu had long thought that he already had his own new life, and thought that he could have accepted it calmly. However, when he heard it at this moment, he still felt dizzy and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
"Goodbye." Even before leaving, he remained as gentlemanly as usual, nodded calmly, and turned around calmly.
Even if you are hurt badly and broken all over, but facing such a beautiful and gentle man, you can't even bear to blame him.
Tang Wei turned around, Shang Shiyu did not follow him, and the smile on his face faded. The calmness on his face was just to hide the chaos in his heart that had long been out of control.
He took two steps, but his breathing still couldn't calm down. The driver was walking beside him, noticing something was wrong, and called out worriedly, "Fourth Master..."
"Don't stop and don't ask anything, just keep moving forward." Tang Wei whispered, holding the other person's wrist with one hand, and barely able to keep himself steady.
"You look very ill."
"Nothing." Tang Wei only replied with two words, and then, enduring the pain in his body, he got into the car as if nothing had happened. At least, from the back, he looked like nothing had happened.
Shang Shiyu stood there blankly, watching the car getting farther and farther away from her, until it finally disappeared from her sight and she could no longer see it... At that moment, it was as if the most precious thing to her was cruelly torn from her body by a pair of hands, blood dripping...
It turns out that she is the only one left from the past who has never walked out of it...
