Chapter 178 May you be happy and successful in everything
After Su Muyang drove the car out of Mu Nanyan's sight, he slowly stopped by the roadside. He leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes, his mind in a mess.
After a while, he restarted the car, turned around, and returned to the place where he had just dropped Mu Nanyan off.
He parked the car on the side of the road and looked at Mu Nanyan's back from afar through the window.
She walked towards the intersection step by step, her figure gradually blurred and finally disappeared into the night.
At that moment, Su Muyang felt as if his heart had been taken away by her, as if she was leaving his world step by step and could never be reached again.
Countless scenes of Su Muyang and Mu Nanyan emerged involuntarily in his mind. Those memories flashed by like scenes from a movie, so clear that it made him heartbroken.
The first time he met Mu Nanyan was at the freshman opening ceremony. She went on stage to speak as a representative of the freshmen. She was confident and generous, not at all restrained. She was like a shining sun, so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
Su Muyang sat in the audience, his eyes following her involuntarily, and he secretly remembered her name in his heart - Mu Nanyan.
The second time I saw Mu Nanyan was when the club was recruiting new members. She was moving between the tables of various clubs, carefully inquiring about the situation of each club.
Su Muyang stood behind her, silently watching her every move. When she finally chose a club and turned to leave, Su Muyang followed her as if possessed and joined the same English club.
The third time I met Mu Nanyan was at the first event of the English Club. That was their first formal conversation.
Mu Nanyan smiled and extended her hand to him, introducing herself:
"Hello, my name is Mu Nanyan, please give me your guidance in the future."
Her smile was as bright as the sun, instantly illuminating Su Muyang's heart.
Later, Su Muyang used his position as the president of the student union to organize joint activities for several clubs.
At that event, he mustered up the courage to confess his love to Mu Nanyan and even sang the then-popular song "Girl" for her.
Mu Nanyan smiled and nodded in agreement. Her smile bloomed like a flower, so beautiful that it made him intoxicated.
From then on, whenever he had time, Su Muyang would ask Mu Nanyan to go to the movies, have dinner, or take a walk on the school playground.
They did everything a campus couple would do, and their friends envied them, saying they were a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. That time was the most beautiful memory in Su Muyang's life.
However, the happy days did not last long. Su Muyang's heart disease suddenly relapsed, and the doctor told him that he had to receive treatment as soon as possible.
He didn't want to drag Mu Nanyan down, so he made up his mind to break up with her and then went to Japan alone for treatment.
While lying in the hospital bed, Su Muyang's mind was filled with the shadow of Mu Nanyan.
He wanted to go back to her countless times, wanted to see her, wanted to hear her voice, and finally, he couldn't help but call her.
Mu Nanyan's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Hello, who are you?"
Su Muyang opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. He didn't know how to face her, let alone how to explain his departure. Finally, Mu Nanyan hung up the phone. Su Muyang looked at the hung up phone and let the tears fall.
During his treatment in Japan, Su Muyang had been following the "Oriental Cup" Chinese Women's Wear Design Competition.
Because Mu Nanyan had mentioned many times that she wanted to participate in this competition, Su Muyang hoped to learn about her current situation through the competition.
Finally, during the live broadcast of the semi-finals, he saw Mu Nanyan. She was sitting in the room, carefully drawing designs and making dresses.
Seeing her focused expression, Su Muyang's fingers gently touched the screen, as if he could touch Mu Nanyan's face. He knew that she was fine, which made him feel extremely relieved.
When Mu Nanyan walked onto the catwalk wearing the dress she designed, Su Muyang was proud of her.
However, when he saw that she failed in the audience voting and only got the second place, he felt sorry for her.
That night, Su Muyang couldn't help but send her a message:
【Congratulations, you got what you wanted. 】
Mu Nanyan replied with a simple "thank you", but Su Muyang was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. Even though he knew that Mu Nanyan might not know who sent the message, he still felt satisfied.
However, since then, Su Muyang has never heard from Mu Nanyan again. She seemed to have disappeared from the design circle in China and never released any new works.
Su Muyang could only miss her through their old photos and videos of them participating in competitions.
Whenever he was tortured by illness and wanted to give up, it was Mu Nanyan's smile that gave him the courage to persevere.
He told himself that he must survive and must go back to see her again to see if she was doing well.
Now, he finally saw her again, but she was no longer the girl who belonged to him.
Su Muyang sat in the car, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his eyes lingering for a long time in the direction where Mu Nanyan disappeared.
The night was dark, and the halo of street lamps sprinkled on the empty streets, as if coating her departure with a layer of faint sadness.
His heart seemed to be blocked by something, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.
Yanyan, I've decided to let go. I finally had dinner with you and sent you home. I have no regrets. Although I still find it hard to let go of you, I won't hold onto your hopes anymore. I don't regret meeting you, I just feel bad that the girl I loved for eight years is not mine after all.
Yanyan, goodbye. May you be happy every year and succeed in everything.
He said silently in his heart, his voice so soft that it was almost inaudible. This sentence was his last blessing and also his final farewell.
From now on, their worlds will no longer intersect, and the sweetness and beauty they once had will eventually become only memories.
Su Muyang took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil. He slowly started the car and drove out of the military compound.
The car lights cast a faint light in the night, and then gradually disappeared into the darkness in the distance.
The girl who once lit up his life has now walked out of his world.
He knew that he had to learn to let go and accept this fact, but the obsession in his heart was like a thorn, deeply embedded there, unable to be pulled out or forgotten.
Perhaps, this is their ending. They met the right person at the wrong time, but ultimately missed each other.
The girl who once made his heart beat will always remain in his memory and become the most beautiful regret in his life.
(Su Muyang spent eight years loving Mu Nanyan, but in the end, it didn't end perfectly. Say goodbye to Su Muyang. I hope he will be safe, healthy, and have a smooth life in the future...)
