Chen Lu glanced at him. "Why are you getting involved?"

"I'll go pick Liu Yan up; the airport is so far from here."

Chen Lu didn't say anything more, since he didn't have to drive himself anyway.

......

As the car drove on the overpass, no one spoke for a moment.

Chen Lu suddenly felt a wave of heat hit his face. He turned around and saw Jiang Chao opening the window and flicking cigarette ash outside.

Perhaps sensing Chen Lu's gaze, Jiang Chao suddenly spoke up: "I don't think she'll come back."

"Hmm." Chen Lu didn't say anything more.

Jiang Chao clicked his tongue, seemingly somewhat sighing, "She probably regrets it a lot. She's paid the price for her actions back then."

"When I was a kid, I always thought the TV dramas were over the top, but now I understand. We've grown up, Chen Lu."

First, you love hysterically like a child, then you learn to accept the unfulfilled ending like an adult.

The past is just the past.

“It’s good,” Chen Lu suddenly said.

Jiang Chao found it strange, "What's so good about it?"

"It's good that we don't see each other anymore." Chen Lu looked out the window with a calm expression. "For Liang Zhirou's sake, we should part ways completely and live our own lives. After we separate... she'll understand sooner or later."

"I neither like nor hate her now, I just hope she's doing well."

Jiang Chao nodded in deep agreement, "It seems you don't need me to comfort you."

"It wasn't necessary in the first place."

Upon arriving at the airport, Liu Yan even made a special trip to lead the two of them inside.

"Have you been crying?" Jiang Chao asked, looking at Liu Yan's red eyes.

"You figured it out, yet you still ask?" Liu Yan glared at him.

"Can't people even care about you?"

"Neuropathy."

What did you say?

"I'm telling you, you're crazy!"

"Who are you calling a lunatic?!"

Listening to the two bickering, Chen Lu quickly walked to the security checkpoint.

A large number of people gathered here to see him off, each forming a small group, and each group had its own story.

His parents, Uncle Mo, and even Chen Mo were all there.

Mo Yuqing held Chen Mo in her arms, chatting and laughing with them, looking like nothing was wrong.

But her smile froze the moment she saw Chen Lu.

Joy and sadness appeared on her face at the same time, making her smile look a little distorted.

She said something, and then walked towards us step by step.

Everyone tacitly refrained from following, and Liu Yan and Jiang Chao also walked to the other side together.

"You're here to see me off?"

"yes."

They both remained silent for a while.

Mo Yuqing stared at Chen Lu, a bitter smile on her face, and said, "It would have been better if you had never met me."

After saying that, she sniffed lightly, her voice trembling slightly, "But meeting you is truly the luckiest thing in my life."

Mo Yuqing felt that her mind had never been working so fast, as if she was afraid of leaving any regrets in this life, and kept thinking about what else she should say.

"I never imagined that keeping my distance from you would be the only compensation I could give you." Mo Yuqing's gaze unconsciously drifted to the tiles beside her. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being so willful."

In the end, all she could say was sorry.

There's nothing more I can say to a guy who has a girlfriend.

You have to take responsibility for the mistakes you make.

Chen Lu sighed softly and smiled at her, "I didn't understand before, and I didn't know how to love others. I only knew how to be good to you."

His smile was tinged with bitterness. "Let it be... We're not the only ones who have missed each other."

"She's a good girl. I secretly went to see her when she was working part-time. I wish you happiness."

Chen Lu nodded slightly and gave a soft "hmm".

He wasn't sure if he had made a sound or not; he couldn't very well just say "uh-huh" again, that would be too embarrassing.

Mo Yuqing glanced at the time, her face turning pale, and quickly said:

"May I ask you one last question? Please answer truthfully."

Chen Lu refocused his scattered gaze on her. "What?"

Mo Yuqing's tears finally broke free and fell to the ground, making it look like a farewell to passersby.

"Will you feel any regret? Even just a little bit?" she asked softly, unusually cautiously.

"If I didn't feel any regret, I wouldn't have pursued you for seven whole years," Chen Lu said earnestly. He didn't understand why the other person would ask such an obvious question.

Mo Yuqing, who was still crying, suddenly laughed. Chen Lu in front of her seemed to have turned back into the boy who had always been by her side.

The two figures kept overlapping, and it took her a long time to come to her senses.

You really haven't changed, you've never changed.

Unfortunately, it no longer belongs to me.

She quickly wiped away her tears, clearing her vision, and silently gazed at Chen Lu for a long time, as if trying to etch his image deeply into her mind.

A few seconds later, she turned her head proudly and said, "I'm leaving! I don't even have a parting gift, so I don't want to miss you."

Halfway there, she suddenly turned around and made a face at Chen Lu.

Just like when we were kids.

......

On the way back.

Liu Yan glanced at Chen Lu, who was sitting in the back seat with a blank expression, in the rearview mirror, her feelings complicated.
