I immediately broke out in a cold sweat on my back, and my heart was in my throat.
I quickly turned around, widened my eyes, and looked around in horror, only to realize that I was standing under a street light, and the three shadows were just projected by the light from the street light.
One is me, the other is me, and the last one is still me.
I realized then that I had scared myself, and I was immediately angry and amused. I couldn't help but curse, "Fuck it!"
After cursing, I took a deep breath, tried to calm myself down, and continued walking down the mountain...
Arriving at the parking lot... getting in the car... then looking at the mountain with disdain... muttering to himself, "What the hell is that? If there's any... come out... I'll kill you... What dares to stand in Brother Yu's way? Haha."
He sat in the car for a while and thought about what Lin Mengxi said at that time. He opened the glove box on the passenger side and took out the black bag.
I picked up the bag and saw that it was the thing Lin Mengxi had given me before... It seemed that she had packed it out and left nothing behind. I opened the long box... Her hair was lying there quietly. It had been three months, but it still emitted a fragrance. I looked carefully and found that there was nothing inside except the woven handbag.
I opened the square box again. It was still the silver bracelet with the initials of our names engraved on it. I looked at it carefully. It was nothing special, but when I looked closely, I noticed that one corner of the box was slightly raised.
I took out the bracelet and opened the compartment, revealing a folded piece of paper.
I stared at the piece of paper for a while... I hesitated for a moment, thought about it... forget it, I don't want to know what's inside anymore, what's the point of knowing... Anyway, we have already separated, and exploring those little details of the past... will only make myself feel worse.
So, I packed up those things again... and put them back into the glove box, leaning back on the seat... But I kept wondering in my mind why she said to open it when encountering difficulties... What exactly did that mean? When I was immersed in this thought... My left hand subconsciously pressed the window button and lowered the window... My right hand habitually reached into my pocket, wanting to take out the cigarette box and have a cigarette to relax, but when I touched it, I found that the cigarette box was empty... I couldn't help but sigh, thinking that it was a bit uncomfortable to be without cigarettes in the middle of the night. Just when I was about to release the handbrake, start the car and leave here.
Suddenly, a cigarette was handed to me... I subconsciously reached out to take it and said, "Thank you." After that, I was just about to take out my lighter to light the cigarette... but suddenly I realized that we were in the middle of nowhere.
My eyes widened immediately and I yelled, "Oh my god..." My voice was distorted by fear, and then I looked at the person standing outside the window with a terrified face...
Lin Mengxi looked at me and said, "Why don't you open it and take a look?" As she spoke... she brought the cigarette to her lips... and took a light puff. Perhaps because she didn't smoke on a daily basis... she obviously didn't know how to smoke. The moment the smoke came out of her nose... she started coughing violently, her face flushed red... She covered her mouth with her hand, bent over, and coughed so hard that tears almost came out...
I was really shocked by her sudden appearance and series of actions... I was stunned for a moment, then I took a deep breath, trying to calm my panicked and nervous heart and calm down the roller coaster-like emotions just now.
Seeing her choked by the smoke... I got out of the car, then reached out and snatched the cigarette from her hand... I frowned and said, "Miss, didn't you leave? Why did you suddenly show up? You showed up quietly in the middle of the night, it's really scary, okay. And this is not the way you smoke. You have to let the smoke pass through your lungs, not just take a puff... and then blow the smoke out of your nose. If you don't know how to smoke, don't bother." As I spoke, I gently patted her back, trying to help her breathe smoothly... I held her cigarette in my mouth and started smoking, looking very happy.
Lin Mengxi looked at me with disdain and said, "I just got to the hotel, and then I remembered that you're afraid of ghosts and wouldn't dare come down the mountain so late, so I planned to go up to pick you up... When I got there, I saw you strolling into the car, so I walked over to see what you were fiddling with, and then I waited by the side."
I listened to her explanation. I was deeply moved, but I remained unyielding. I took another puff of my cigarette, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and said, "Aren't you afraid too? With your guts, how dare you go up there without your brother by your side?"
"I'm scared." Lin Mengxi lowered her head slightly...muttered softly, a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face...but soon she raised her head again...looked at me and said, "But I'm more afraid that you will be very cold on the mountain alone, so no matter how scared I am...I have to come." Her words were very soft, but like a warm current...slowly flowing into my heart...the sense of alienation that I had wanted to maintain was instantly dissipated a lot.
I didn't know how to respond to her for a moment, so I tried to change the subject and said, "Today is New Year's Eve..."
As soon as I finished saying these words, Lin Mengxi turned around, opened the car door, got on my passenger seat, and said to me, "Let's go, let's celebrate New Year's Eve together... Even if you rush back now, it's probably too late... Anyway, since it's like this, let's spend New Year's Eve together. It can be considered... a final commemoration of this relationship."
I got in the car, nodded, and headed towards the city center.
When we arrived in the city center, it was so busy with traffic that finding a parking space became a problem...
