In this defenseless night, those beasts that feed on sorrow broke through the house in an instant, roared, knocked Lai Yang down, and gnawed at his empty heart.
The blood filled with sorrow flowed out along the soul and was licked clean by their barbed tongues, leaving no water at all. Therefore, Lai Yang could not cry, but just felt that his body was being eaten away.
He looked quietly at the milk tea on the coffee table, with countless thoughts bursting into his mind.
Yuan Shengda always wanted to drink milk tea when he came to Shanghai, but I only bought mineral water for her at that time, and that first cup of milk tea was a gift from her to me.
Now she finished by delivering another.
So what is in this cup must be bitter, no matter how much sugar you add, it will still be bitter.
Of the two women who accompanied me in Shanghai, one has already gotten married and has long lost contact with me, and is the last one going to leave too
"Take a sip and try it to see if it's sweet." Yuan Shengda tilted his head and looked at him with a smile.
Lai Yang was silent and speechless.
The sofa creaked, Yuan Shengda picked up a cup and took a sip, then lay on the cushion and sneered twice.
"You know what? From last night till now, I have thought about our past thoroughly, and I found out... when you were down and out in Laiyang, I was almost always by your side."
Lai Yang clenched the milk tea with both hands, lowered his head and took a sip. The tip of his tongue felt sweet, but his heart felt sour.
"When your theater had no business, I stayed with you. When you broke up with Gu Qian, I stayed with you... When the store was about to be taken back, I stayed with you again... Then I realized... I was a jinx!"
Phew~
Lai Yang spat out a mouthful of milk tea, but Yuan Shengda burst into laughter.
It seemed like she was telling a funny joke and she seemed to be in a good mood, as if her breakup with Aru was just a dream.
But as she laughed, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Maybe I really am your nemesis and I am really not worthy of you... You see, you were about to succeed this time, but you became like this because of me."
"Don't say that...don't say that." Lai Yang's eyes were also covered with a layer of mist.
But this layer of fog allowed him to see Yuan Shengda more clearly. She was crying, and she was crying while laughing.
"It's good for you to be with Jingjing. As long as you get close to her, everything will be fine. Your career will move forward and your mood will be better.
Much better. I've been with you for so long, but I've never seen you as happy as you were that night... And you said it yourself, that was the happiest night you've had in three years in Shanghai. So... if our story is a book, then she is the undisputed heroine, and I... I'm just a supporting actress, and since I'm a supporting actress, she shouldn't have so much writing, so... I should go, I should go."
"It's so loud, please don't say that, okay?"
Lai Yang shed tears. He wanted to hug Yuan Shengda, but his mind prevented him from doing so, so he could only beg.
"That's too much torment for me. We've known each other since birth. How could you be... a supporting role? I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that that night. I'm sorry... I..."
Lai Yang wanted to say that he regretted asking her to come to Shanghai, but he couldn't say it.
Because he knew in his heart that it didn't matter that Yuan Shengda couldn't come to Shanghai, what mattered was that he didn't fall in love with her.
Thinking of this, the three words "Mengxingqing" once again emerged in Laiyang's mind.
He was in great pain at the moment, and was reluctant to let Yuan Shengda leave. Then he suddenly had some kind of illusion...
But that illusion was fleeting, and he firmly believed that the person he really liked was Tian Jing.
Maybe it was just his mood tonight and the oppression of farewell that made him confused.
Yuan Shengda wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, forced a smile and said, "Alright, stop comforting me. How can a heroine be named Shengda? Laiyang, I will never come back after I leave this time. Please help me return the house, and I won't take my things with me... If you want to throw them away, just throw them away. Anyway... you are going to live together, right... But, can you sing a song for me tonight? Just consider it as... a farewell gift."
Lai Yang looked up, and as the last few tears fell, he nodded vigorously.
"What do you want to hear?"
"Strong woman's heart, don't sing the wrong lyrics this time."
Lai Yang reached out and wiped his face, his eyes red, and he sang with a trembling voice.
“The wind of the times blows... to the west and east, gathering and parting are all in the world of mortals, searching and searching, why can no one see clearly~ Love... is the person in front of you~”
Yuan Shengda burst into tears again. She put the milk tea on the coffee table and sobbed with her hands on her knees.
Lai Yang's tears kept falling like broken threads, and only intermittent singing could be heard flowing, sobbing and drifting away in the quiet room.
"two
Personal ~ a love, half a life, love is hard to end, you go your way... I have the happiness I want ~ the strongest thing is a woman's heart ~"
Yuan Shengda suddenly sang along with tears in his eyes: "I want to be myself happily~ I feel alive with real love. Maybe I have to thank you for not looking back. I have to move forward alone~"
“Look at us, we’ve loved and hated passionately~ We’ve also lived freely and unrestrainedly… I’ve forgotten you. If there’s ever a time when life feels lonely, I’ll sing a song for myself in the wind~ Sing my song~”
When Lai Yang finished singing the last sentence, Yuan Shengda suddenly rushed over and hugged him tightly.
A soft fragrance swept over Lai Yang's body, and her warm tears fell on her shoulders, like dripping wax, burning half of her heart red.
She was so strong that it seemed as if she wanted to rub herself into her body.
Lai Yang did not resist. He gently put his arms around her, patted her on the back, and asked when they were leaving.
"Tomorrow. I'm sorry I can't stay with you until the end of the performance this time."
"It's okay... It's okay, I'll take you there tomorrow."
Yuan Shengda shook his head, which was resting on Lai Yang's shoulder.
"You are not allowed to see me off. Just remember that I am here forever. I don't want you to see me leave... Also, you are not allowed to post on Moments even if you live with Tian Jing, and don't invite me to your wedding... Otherwise, I will... I am in pain, forcing myself to smile every day... It is really painful, please let me go..."
When she said this, she cried even harder, digging her fingers into Lai Yang's back.
“Laiyang, why is it like this… Why, I have known you for so many years, why can’t it be as good as the one year you and Tianjing have known each other… You said you were destined to be together, you have met once before, then what about our relationship… You and I have met since we were born… What am I?… Woohoo… Actually… I have never liked Aru, I… The person I have always liked is you… But you make me so desperate, so desperate…”
Lai Yang's heart was crushed.
Countless scenes of my childhood and adulthood with Yuan Shengda flashed before my eyes like slides.
Then he saw how steep Mount Hua was back then, and her nervous expression as she thought she was going to fall and was about to jump off the cliff; he also saw the scene when she ran towards him after leaving Shanghai Railway Station for the first time...
But just as these images flashed by quickly, suddenly a cell phone rang outside the door!
Lai Yang's eyes trembled. This cell phone ringtone... is Aru!
