As for the victims, although they received a certain amount of attention after the incident, the popularity of the case itself declined quickly, so they soon stopped receiving attention and gradually returned to their normal lives.
Everything has returned to normal, and Xiao Tangqiu's life seems to be back on track. However, only he himself knows that he can never go back. His originally peaceful life has been completely disrupted by a stone called Meng Xinghe. Even though the stone has now completely sunk into the lake and disappeared, the ripples on the lake surface will not dissipate for a long time.
Xiao Tangqiu sighed softly. He felt that he would never be able to fall in love with anyone else as much as he loved Meng Xinghe in his life.
He sipped his coffee and looked out the window. The sunlight outside was extremely bright, just like the noon when he and Meng Xinghe decided to run away from home at the age of eighteen.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed a person walking past the window. At first glance, the person's silhouette looked somewhat familiar.
His heart suddenly started beating faster, and he dropped the coffee he had just taken a few sips of and chased after him.
The streets were bustling with people, but Xiao Tangqiu didn't hesitate to dive into the crowd, chasing after him while shouting that incredibly familiar name: "Meng Xinghe! Meng Xinghe!"
However, no one stopped, and no one responded to him.
"Meng Xinghe! Meng Xinghe!"
He chased for a long time before finally finding the familiar figure in the crowd. He immediately rushed forward and grabbed the man's wrist: "Meng Xinghe!"
However, when that person turned around, Xiao Tangqiu realized that he had recognized the wrong person. The person in front of him was not Meng Xinghe at all, but just a stranger whose figure was somewhat similar to Meng Xinghe.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
The man looked at Xiao Tangqiu suspiciously for a few seconds, then turned and left with a puzzled look on his face.
Xiao Tangqiu stood blankly on the busy street. Even though the crowds around him were extremely crowded and bustling, he felt that the whole world had become silent at that moment.
Xiao Tangqiu looked distraught and missed a black wheelchair that flashed by not far away.
He stood blankly on the street for a long time, and only came to his senses after a while, dragging his heavy feet back to the cafe.
The black wheelchair slowly came out from the corner again and stopped far away outside the glass window of the cafe.
Xiao Tangqiu returned to his original position in a daze, staring out the window motionlessly. In fact, the scene just now had happened many times in the past six months. He often mistook various people on the street for Meng Xinghe, but every time he rushed forward to stop the other person, he realized that he had made a mistake... This kind of mistaken identity had happened to him countless times.
For some reason, in the past six months, he always had a vague feeling that Meng Xinghe was still by his side, still near him, and still around him. He could always feel a familiar pair of eyes watching him, but whenever he wanted to find that pair of eyes, he always made the mistake of recognizing the wrong person.
Is this an illusion? Is this another illusion?
Only after the coffee in the cup had completely cooled down did Xiao Tangqiu leave the cafe and return to the house he rented upstairs.
After he returned to the room, he found that the game he was live streaming had not been closed yet. At this time, the game plot was progressing to the point where the heroine discovered that there seemed to be an extra "person" in the house she rented, because she often felt that an inexplicable gaze was watching her, but every time she wanted to find that "person", she found nothing.
