I thought about it and hung up the phone.
Lin Mengxi turned around, looked at me, and said, "Why didn't you answer? You should explain it to her to avoid misunderstandings. Otherwise, she'll be very angry if she finds out."
"She'd get angry if I told her...so I won't tell her."
Lin Mengxi lowered her head and whispered, "How about... let's find the nearest place to get off the highway, and I can take a car back by myself... If you really quarrel over this, I will blame myself."
"It's okay... I said I'd send you back, and I won't break my promise. No matter what... this was my own decision, and you don't have to blame yourself."
Lin Mengxi sighed... then nodded...
…
After driving about a hundred or two hundred kilometers, I stopped at a service area. I said to Lin Mengxi, "I'm going to the bathroom. Do you want to go?"
Lin Mengxi nodded and got out of the car and followed me.
As soon as I got to the restroom, I quickly took out a cigarette, took a deep puff, and muttered, "So cool... I'm dying of suffocation... oh." After smoking a cigarette, I washed my hands vigorously in the sink and rinsed my mouth.
I thought to myself...it's strange, why is it still the same as before? I've obviously broken up with her now...I shouldn't care so much, but for no reason I just don't want to smoke in front of her. Maybe some habits, once formed, are hard to break...
I sent a text message to Zhu Wei... asking him to help explain to Chang Yue and not let her worry... I don’t dare to contact Chang Yue for the time being... I can only wait until I get back.
Zhu Wei sent an OK expression.
Just got back to the car and waited for a while..
Lin Mengxi walked over and came around to my side. She lowered her head and whispered, "Lin Yu, get out of the car. I want to discuss something with you."
I didn't understand why, but I did as I was told. I got off the car and said without thinking, "What is it? Tell me... As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it."
Lin Mengxi hesitated for a long time. Tears gradually glistened in her eyes. She bit her lip and whispered, "I just thought, I've been willful enough today, so I want to be willful again. There are still a few hundred kilometers to go. During these few hundred kilometers... Can you be my real boyfriend for once? Just for these few hundred kilometers, okay?"
After I heard what she said, I suddenly hesitated. After all, I am with Chang Yue now. I don’t want to do anything to let Chang Yue down. But looking at Lin Mengxi’s eyes that were full of expectation and a hint of pleading, I felt a little reluctant.
Lin Mengxi blinked her eyes at me, tears falling directly to the ground. She added, "Don't worry... it's over when we get home. I won't bother you anymore. I just want to give my first love a result. I don't want it to end in a muddled way. Just think of it as the fulfillment of my dream... okay?"
After hesitating for a long time, I finally nodded slowly and said softly, "Okay." After that, I couldn't help but reach out and gently wipe the corners of her eyes with my fingers. I wanted to help her wipe away the tears that kept rolling down. My heart was full of complicated emotions. I felt sorry for her sadness at the moment, but I was helpless about the current tangled situation.
Seeing this, Lin Mengxi subconsciously hit my hand and said with a sobbing voice, "I told you to use a tissue. Tears are dirty. Why don't you learn your lesson? You always do this." Although she said this, there was no hint of blame in her words. It was just like the daily little episodes when we were together...
Lin Mengxi then smiled, and that smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and moving... In the afterglow of the setting sun, her face seemed to be covered with a faint halo, so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off it.
Then, she gently took my hand...the hand was soft, warm and familiar...and slowly led me to an observation deck.
Standing on the observation deck, the view suddenly widened. She stretched out her slender finger... pointing at the afterglow of the setting sun, her eyes full of intoxication, and whispered softly, "Little Wood... look, isn't this sunset beautiful?"
I looked in the direction of her finger, and saw that the red sun was gradually setting in the west, dyeing the sky a brilliant orange-red. The flame-like color spread wantonly... dyeing half the sky red, as if the entire sky was covered with a gorgeous brocade.
In the distance, the mountains are undulating, and the outlines of the continuous mountains appear clearer and deeper under the outline of the setting sun... One side of the mountain is illuminated by the afterglow, showing deep and shallow changes in light and shadow.
At the foot of the mountain, there are still a few wisps of smoke rising, swaying gently in the breeze, adding a touch of human touch to this magnificent picture.
"Hmm...very beautiful." I exclaimed sincerely, but couldn't help feeling a surge of emotion in my heart.
Although the sunset is beautiful, it also means that the day is about to end, just like our little love...it is almost time to come to an end.
The days when we laughed and played together were as brilliant and unforgettable as the beautiful scenery before our eyes...but they will eventually fade away in the wind as time goes by.
Perhaps this is life. Where there are encounters, there will be separations. Where there are joys, there will be regrets. And at this moment, standing on this observation deck, gazing at this enchantingly beautiful yet somewhat desolate sunset and mountains... I only hope that in the days ahead, we can all be well.
Perhaps one day in the future, she will meet the prince who is truly destined for her at some unexpected corner... After all, she has an extraordinary family background. Whether it is her family background or the circles she can access... it provides her with more possibilities for encountering beautiful things.
She is so beautiful and deserves a love without regrets...a smooth sailing love...and someone who can care for her wholeheartedly...and accompany her through every spring, summer, autumn and winter in the long years.
And I will eventually return to the ordinary track of life, like most people...get married, have children...and live a life of firewood, rice, oil and salt.
I also thought about how our hometowns are thousands of miles apart, and our life trajectories are like two parallel lines that are moving further and further apart... I wonder if there will be a chance to meet again in the future.
Perhaps, this vast sea of people is too vast, and once we separate... it's easy to be drowned in our own lives...
——The world is big, and if we don’t meet intentionally, we will never meet again in this life.
At this moment, a sense of bitterness and melancholy wells up in my heart. The little moments we spent together keep coming back to me. Those laughs we shared, the moments we longed for, seem like they happened just yesterday. But reality has brought us to this point, and I can't help but sigh at the fickleness of fate and the wonders of destiny.
There is still a long way to go, and no one knows what kind of stories each of them will write... I just hope she can always be happy...
Lin Mengxi leaned gently on my shoulder..crying and laughing..
Tears wet my shoulders. I couldn't help but shed tears of regret. I thought about how to comfort her, and how to comfort myself.
